Chapter 78 The Descent of the Gods
When the guards heard the commotion coming from the main hall, they rushed into the ancestral temple.

What you see is the statue of Houtianshi forcibly embedded in the altar, presenting an overall cracked appearance.

"Intruders! Inform the High Priest immediately!"

The lead guard was taken aback at first, then he saw the broken window.

Confusion, astonishment, fear, anger...

A complex mix of emotions resonated within the guards.

Their roars, almost distorted with exhaustion, were the perfect response.

The ancestral temple was not far from the sacrificial altar, so the news of the invasion of the main hall quickly reached the ears of the priests.

"Who dares to trespass on my clan's forbidden territory!"

Before he could even think it through, the high priest, who was holding a sacrificial ceremony on the rooftop, suddenly raised his scepter.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and blood surged.

From afar, a massive crimson barrier slowly rose around the entire city of Cliff City, sealing off all creatures attempting to leave the area.

At the same time, in the very center of the blood pool, a complex pattern was quietly taking shape in the boiling blood.

Rumble…

Thus, under the terrified gaze of the people of Yayi City, countless fine lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

The lightning bolts originated from the blood-red barrier, attempting to strike down any living beings trying to escape the city.

This naturally includes the hummingbird that E'tu transformed into.

【Oops! 】

Clearly, they hadn't expected the Ghost Kingdom to react so quickly.

The hummingbird could only watch helplessly as the path ahead was sealed off by a blood-red barrier.

What caught the hummingbirds off guard was that the fine lightning bolts attacked indiscriminately all living things that tried to approach the barrier.

Whether it's a powerful eagle or a tiny mosquito...

When the barrier rises, no living being that can breathe is allowed to leave this place.

"The intruders are there! Archers, fire!"

His eyes were wide open as he stared at the edge of the barrier.

The high priest quickly noticed the unusually agile hummingbird.

Moving among the fine lightning bolts, and always managing to escape the thunder's strikes at crucial moments, it is clearly not a normal hummingbird.

call out!call out!call out!
In the blink of an eye, the guards near the sacrificial altar were the first to react.

Nearly a thousand arrows pierced the sky, striking the hummingbird with almost unbelievable precision and speed.

call!
Realizing the danger, the rabbit dared not be negligent in the slightest. In mid-air, it transformed into a fly and escaped the rain of arrows.

However, the rain of arrows was only the first wave of attack.

"Priests, cast a spell on me!"

"We must take down those invaders no matter what!"

As the second wave of arrows arrived, the priests, finally realizing what was happening, unleashed their signature witchcraft spells.

Or to make the arrows more accurate and faster...

Or perhaps they manipulate their blood and energy to conjure birds and beasts for a sneak attack...

Or they could just hurl all sorts of random curses at the rabbit...

In the blink of an eye, the hummingbird could no longer maintain its flight path and plummeted straight down from mid-air.

Tangible attacks and sneak attacks can be dodged, but intangible curses are not so easy to avoid.

Fortunately, E'tu was not fighting alone.

tumultuous!
A dark shadow rose again, taking the place of the hummingbird and bearing the power of the curses.

This is another way that Li Boyang uses the incarnation of shadow.

The tiny figure, being of the same origin as the original body and imbued with the earth's malevolent energy, possessed an innate and astonishing sensitivity and tolerance to various curses. Had Li Boyang not lacked knowledge in this area, he could have even cursed the priests in return.

However, Li Boyang had no prior knowledge in this area.

Some people have dabbled in this field, and some are even experts in it.

"The Curse of Corroding Bones and Eroding Hearts!"

Deliberately hiding on the outermost edge of the altar, Xuan Hui also silently cast a spell.

However, his spells were not aimed at the rabbit, but at the nearby priests who were casting spells, greatly weakening the effectiveness of their spells.

Because there were too many priests casting spells nearby at the same time, and because of Xuan Hui's amazing skill in witchcraft, none of the priests realized that someone on their side was secretly causing trouble.

Only Xuan Hui's teacher vaguely sensed something, and looked around suspiciously.

Unfortunately, the old priest did not find the Xuanhui and could only turn his gaze back to the hummingbird in the sky.

"High Priest, this cannot continue."

Walking up to the high priest's side, the old priest stated his judgment.

"The king and his entourage have been alerted, and panic is spreading throughout the city..."

"In addition to the enormous energy required to maintain the barrier, we must act quickly!"

The high priest was well aware of the old priest's concerns.
However, when faced with such an intruder who offends the ancestors and even the majesty of the gods, the high priest has only one option: to completely subdue the intruder.

Otherwise, stepping down would be the least of his worries.

In more serious cases, it could even affect the prestige of the Guifang Kingdom and the large-scale slave capture and sacrifices that were about to take place.

"I……"

Just as the high priest was hesitating about what to do next, his expression suddenly changed.

Immediately afterwards, the high priest's gaze became vacant and his voice became ethereal.

It was as if some higher-dimensional being had descended into this world through his body.

"Keep him here, at all costs."

"He not only trespassed into the temple's forbidden area, but he was also the culprit behind the frequent thefts of grain and provisions recently."

"He angered the gods, and he caused the Ghost Fang Kingdom to lose all its dignity!"

Upon hearing the high priest speak in this manner, the nearby priests almost simultaneously knelt down, including the most senior priest.

"Obey the oracle!"

Only after the high priest returned to his original form did the priests dare to raise their heads.

"Awaken the Blood Demon in advance, for only it can bear the power of the gods."

With a firm gaze fixed on the blood pool below, the high priest showed no hesitation this time.

Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...

So the priests obeyed and began to cast spells on the blood pool below.

In an instant, a huge vortex appeared in the center of the blood pool.

The pattern that had already taken shape seemed to come alive and move around.

boom!
Suddenly, the complex pattern devoured the power of the entire blood pool and manifested in a physical form.

It was a towering blood demon, an incarnation capable of bearing the full descent of divine power.

Rumble…

The lightning that appeared out of nowhere struck the blood demon avatar, making it, which was already like a living thing, appear even more vivid.

All the priests were thrilled by the arrival of the gods, but Xuan Hui, hidden at the very edge, had a complicated expression.

Because the appearance of that blood demon incarnation was exactly the same as that of You Zhong, who had voluntarily sacrificed himself earlier.
