The Sovereign of the Godly Empire <<< >>>Chapter 261: The Ritual of Sacrifice <<<
The power of the thunder pearl, though unable to kill the Fire Cloud Wolf, did cause its speed to slow slightly.
For a fleeting moment, Zhang Ruochin pulled out a battle map.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Under the impetus of true qi, the inscription patterns on the battle diagram lit up, and ten purple-horned beasts surged out, while fire clouds wolves pounced over.
The combat strength of every Zi Jiao beast is comparable to that of a martial artist who has reached the peak of the Earth's Extreme Realm.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen immediately retreated and dashed into the formation, escaping back to Yueji City.
Zhang Ruochin had just rushed into the formation when a deafening roar sounded from behind him, causing the entire city-protecting formation to shake violently.
Just now, the Fire Cloud Wolf crushed those ten Purple Horned Beasts and chased after Zhang Ruochin. It swiped its claw at Zhang Ruochin, almost hitting his back. Fortunately, its claw was blocked by the city protection formation. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochin would have definitely been seriously injured.
"What an amazing Firecloud Wolf, ten Purplehorned Beasts were only able to hold it back for two breaths." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhang Ruochin, exhausted, struggled to his feet from the ground. He glanced at the battle map in his hand and noticed that the light on it had dimmed somewhat.
< ??????? The power of the battle map decreases with each use.

If Zhang Ruochin were to activate the Zijiao Beast Diagram again now, he would only be able to release ten ground-level small peak-stage Zijiao Beasts. The third time he activated it, he would probably only be able to release ten ground-level early-stage Zijiao Beasts.
After swallowing the healing elixir, Zhang Ruochin immediately rushed toward the altar in the city center. He took out all the ferocious beasts from both his storage bracelets and the storage ring, and placed them on top of the altar.
There were twenty-seven monstrous beast corpses, piled together into a hill of blood.
After that, Zhang Ruochen went to the city and collected all the ferocious beasts that had been knocked down by the formations.

One hundred and seventy-eight carcasses of ferocious birds were also placed by Zhang Ruochin onto the altar.
The number of beasts and birds is still a bit small, I must go hunting for some more.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged under the altar, beginning to recuperate his injuries. It took about half an hour for his injuries to recover by 50%.
Having stopped tending to his injuries, Zhang Ruochin held the Shenyuan Ancient Sword and rushed out of the city defense formation once more, continuing his hunt for the savage beasts.
Unlike before, Zhang Ruochin didn't intentionally confront those Tier 4 wild beasts head-on. Instead, he avoided them and only hunted lower-level beasts.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochin threw out a thunder bead, releasing electric light that killed over ten first-order savage beasts. Their bodies were charred black and lay scattered on the ground.
Zhang Ruochin immediately rushed over and put the corpse of the beast into his storage ring.
Just as the fourth-order fierce beast, "Lion Head Bull King," charged over, Zhang Ruichen had already taken a step back and returned to Yueji City.
Zhang Ruochen placed the ferocious beast on the altar, then from another direction, he secretly left the city and continued hunting ferocious beasts.

"What is Zhang Ruochin thinking? Does he really think his speed in hunting wild beasts can keep up with my summoning speed?" Ling Xianxu stared down at the scene below, quite puzzled by Zhang Ruochin's actions.
Ling Xiansen could never have imagined that Zhang Ruochin's plan was to hunt down savage beasts and prepare for a sacrificial ritual in Yuji City.
Whenever Zhang Ruochin charged out of the city, Ling Xiansu would immediately order a fourth-order savage beast to kill him.
However, Zhang Ruochin was quite cunning. Every time, he would hide near the city wall, only firing out thunder beads or battle diagrams to slaughter waves of ferocious beasts, collecting storage bracelets.
<<>>
"The blood of the savage beasts, plus the blood of tens of thousands of human warriors from Yueji City, should be enough to open the Gate of Gods and complete the ritual." Zhang Ruochen said excitedly.
In the Kunlun Realm, generally speaking, only the Winter Solstice is the best time for sacrificial rites.
It is said that on the winter solstice, the heavenly realm and Kunlun realm are closest together, so the gate between humans and gods is easiest to open.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Even a small village ritual could open the door between humans and gods.
However, once the winter solstice has passed, it becomes very difficult to open the gate between humans and gods. Only by using one hundred times the amount of blood energy can the gate be opened and the sacrificial ritual completed.
Outside the city walls, the attacks of the beasts had become even more fierce. Some sections of the walls had already been shattered, and the light of the protective barrier was growing dimmer.
Many miles from the city, there is a small hill. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Two figures stood on the mountain peak.
The first person, looking to be in his early twenties, had sword-like eyebrows and hawk-like eyes. His nose was high and straight, and his gaze was piercing, giving off an air of handsome authority.
This person is none other than Zhang Tiangui, the number one prodigy of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of Tianmo Ridge.
Among the disciples of the Yun Tai Zong Fu Nei Fu, Lu Qiankun, ranked third, stared in the direction of Yueji City, a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "Senior Brother," he said, "The protective formation around Yueji City is about to be shattered. Shouldn't we make our move?"
Zhang Tiangui kept his hands behind his back and shook his head gently, saying, “No rush, wait a little longer.”
"Why?" Lu Qiankun was very puzzled.
Zhang Tiangui's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said, "It's not the right time yet."
Lu Qiankun was an honest man and naturally didn't understand Zhang Tiangui's scheming.
To save people is certainly necessary, but the key is how to save them and when to intervene.
It is not yet dangerous enough for Han Qiu. Taking action to save her now would not maximize our benefits.
Only when she was at her most dangerous and helpless would Zhang Tiangui suddenly appear, making her feel even more grateful and moved.
To deal with women, you need to use certain methods, otherwise how will they be obedient?
How could someone as foolish as Lu Qiankun possibly understand his painstaking efforts.
This is a chance to win Han Qiaofang's heart, how could Zhang Tiangui let such a golden opportunity slip away?
Zhang Ruochin seems to be in Yuejicheng as well. Just right, let's take care of him while we're at it. Keeping him around is always a threat." Zhang Tiangui appeared extremely calm, gazing calmly at Yuejicheng in the distance, a confident gleam in his eyes.
He will continue to wait, until the best time to strike comes.
The battle in Yuejicheng was extremely fierce. Hàn Qiú activated one after another attack formations, and it's unknown how many savage beasts and savage birds he killed.
More than half an hour had passed, and the energy of the five attack formations was completely depleted.
The entire Yuejicheng is left with only two defensive formations and one protective city formation. With the formations breached, it's only a matter of time before they fall.
Han Qiu stood on the city wall, gazing at the endless stream of savage beasts. He finally felt a little helpless and urgently said, “Zhang Ruochin, what do we do now? The reinforcements from Wushi Academy and Yuntai Sect have not arrived, and the defense formation can only last for another incense stick.”
"We can only give it our all! If we manage to break through, maybe we can escape."
Zhang Ruochin walked into the stone gate beneath the altar and came to the edge of the Divine Pool. According to memory, he recited a sacrificial text. He pressed his hands against the surface of the stone wall, and the spiritual fire true qi from his palms surged out, gradually spreading outward, covering the entire altar.
<<>>
Suddenly, a deafening roar!
A giant altar began to rotate slowly.
A crimson pillar of light shot up from the center of the altar, shattering the clouds in the sky as if bursting into the vast universe.
The sky, it turned blood red.
In the very center of that crimson expanse, as if a great gate had been opened, chaos descended, and showers of light rained down upon Yueji City.
Zhang Ruochin sat cross-legged and began to communicate with his soul meridian.
A beam of light shot out from the top of his head, condensing into a soul shadow that looked exactly like Zhang Ruochin.
That soul shadow flew out, hovering above the divine pool, beginning to absorb the sacrificial power floating in the air.
<<>>
When the Martial Soul burst out of Zhang Ruochin's body, she was finally shocked. Her expression was completely stunned, as if petrified, her lips forming an "O" shape.
"He...cultivated a martial soul..."
Even in the Tianji realm, where martial arts myths were born, few could cultivate a Martial Soul. Zhang Ruochin, despite being only at the Di Ji realm, had already successfully cultivated his Martial Soul.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochin's martial soul was incredibly sacred, like the phantom of a deity, which gave Han Qiu an urge to kneel and worship.
The martial soul hovering above the divine pool glanced at Han Qiu and actually spoke, "What are you still standing there for? Come over here immediately and sit in front of me. I will transmit a portion of the sacrificial power into your body. With the help of the sacrificial power, it might be possible to alleviate the two forces within your body and resolve the crisis you're facing in your cultivation."
<<>
She sat cross-legged opposite Zhang Ruichen, slowly raising a pair of snow-white jade arms and connecting them with Zhang Ruichen's hands.
BOOM!
The moment Han Qiu's hands touched Zhang Ruoxin's, he felt a jolt of electricity.
A surging force of sacrificial power surged from her right hand into her body, rushing into her meridians and converging towards her dantian.
Under the impact of that sacrificial power, she felt like a leaf floating on the sea, her body could be torn apart by that force at any time.
"Don't panic, remain calm and collected, activate the Supreme Heaven Earth Manual, and try to absorb that power from the sacrificial offering."
Just when Han Qiu was feeling frightened and uneasy, Zhang Ruochin's voice sounded like a divine whisper in her mind.
Gradually, Han Qiu regained his composure. Closing his eyes, he began to circulate his Qi according to Zhang Ruochin's instructions.
The power of the sacrifice is the most sacred and inclusive force. Once it enters her meridians, it begins to circulate throughout the body, completing a full circuit before returning to Zhang Ruichen's meridian through his left palm.
Thus, the cycle repeats, the power of rituals completing one celestial rotation after another within her body.

The meridians slowly absorbed that surge of power, and her martial arts realm steadily improved.
