In the twilight, a chubby kid of about eight or nine years old, with a tiger-like head and brain, wiping his runny nose, and carrying his newly awakened giant wolf tooth club, proudly walked down from the altar.
Below the altar, some people cheered and rejoiced for his upcoming soul cultivation, while others envied and mocked his ugly and unbearable soul, feeling resentful and unfair about their own inability to awaken their soul.
More often, there is a look of envy and hope, with envy for the soul cultivation status, and hope for the eternal legend.
Chen Shiyi stood at the steps leading to the altar, looking up at the starry sky. Scenes from the previous two soul sacrifices flashed through her mind repeatedly, and a thought crossed her mind: "This is the last chance! This time...? Can I awaken?"
Suddenly, Chen Shiyi thought of his parents.
What kind of people were they?
Why did they abandon me...?
Thinking about the past, for a moment, Chen Shiyi didn't realize that there was no one else in front of him at this moment, and he was the only one left waiting under the altar for the soul sacrifice.
On the altar, Ji Ya's deep voice rang out: "Chen Shiyi, it's your turn, come up...!"
Looking at this somewhat lonely young man, Ji Ya inexplicably carried a hint of hope in his heart, hoping that he could push today's already very exciting soul ceremony to an even greater climax.
He always felt that this seemingly careless young man, in fact, should not and would not just sink like this, as his inner strength is extremely resilient. Ji Ya and Ji Man share the same thoughts.
Since the moment chubby kid stepped down, he couldn't help but stand up, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. His anxious and nervous feelings were evident, as if the next one to be sacrificed was not Chen Shiyi, but him.
At this moment, looking at Chen Shiyi standing at the steps, Ji Man couldn't help but take two steps forward, assessing the situation. If it weren't for the barrier, he would have wanted to pull Chen Shiyi up to the altar immediately.
Upon looking back at the altar, after the chubby kid had left the stage, everyone thought that today's soul sacrifice ceremony was over. Groups of people were about to disperse when they heard the high priest call out the name of Chen Shiyi.
Everyone was momentarily stunned! It was then that they noticed a slender young man still standing at the steps leading to the altar.
Simultaneously, everyone's gaze was focused on the steps at the entrance of the altar, where a thinly dressed, slender young man stood like a pine, lifting his head and gazing into the void, seemingly lost in thought. It was as if he hadn't heard the high priest calling to him from the altar, or noticed that he was the only one left waiting below the altar to offer the sacrifice.
Watching the dazed Chen Shiyi standing at the entrance of the altar, Shao Huolie, who had been keeping a close eye on Chen Shiyi, was unusually excited. Unable to contain himself, he shouted with a mocking tone, "Is Chen Shiyi scared silly...! High priest, I think we should just disperse. Chen Shiyi is probably too scared from the previous two sacrifices. I bet he doesn't have the guts to come up on the stage now. Hahaha...!"
" Shao Huolie, you're asking for death...!"
As soon as Shao Huolie spoke, a sudden roar came from within slanting thorn.
Following the loud shout, a massive golden fist, carrying an overwhelming force, suddenly appeared above Shao Huolie's head.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone on and off the stage, leaving them momentarily unable to react.
Watching as Shao Huolie's head was about to be smashed in the next moment, in a critical moment, Shao Huolie forcefully moved three feet forward and hastily summoned the soul of Flaming Wolf, blocking the attack of the golden fist in front of him.
However, it was only a momentary pause. Before the hastily summoned Flaming Wolf could understand what was happening, it was instantly shattered, and the golden fist paused for just a moment before continuing to smash towards Shao Huolie.
The soul was instantly shattered, causing Shao Huolie to suffer significant internal injuries. Unable to dodge the approaching violent fist in the blink of an eye, Shao Huolie found themselves unable to move a finger, only able to watch as the golden fist drew closer to their head, closing their eyes and awaiting death.
Just when Shao Huolie thought their demise was certain, several vine-like tendrils, as thick as a child's arm, sprouted out of thin air between them and the golden fist, weaving into a web that blocked the oncoming blow and diverted it away from Shao Huolie's head.
At the next moment, there was a loud bang, and a large pit with a diameter of two meters was smashed into the ground three feet away from Shao Huolie, which was paved with inch-thick flagstones. Shao Huolie sat paralyzed nearby, trembling uncontrollably.
Looking at the pit over two meters deep, everyone sighed in sympathy. If someone had been hit by that, Shao Huolie probably wouldn't have been left in one piece.
"Xun'er, no messing around...!" In the midst of the crisis, Ji Ya reached out to save Shao Huolie and quickly reprimanded the fat man.
The enraged fat man ignored Ji Ya's reprimand, and seeing that his fist did not hit Shao Huolie, he shouted and activated his soul force to instantly condense the soul of Tooth of Destruction, smashing it towards Shao Huolie.
The next moment, the Shao Huolie was about to be smashed into a pile of flesh.
There was a sudden wave of exclamation in the crowd.
With a bold grin and a grimace, enduring the impending nausea, he still looked straight at the Shao Huolie sitting on the ground shouting for help.
Some timid ones had already covered their eyes and turned their heads away, unable to bear watching any longer.
Amidst the chaos, a loud shout came from the stage: "Ignorant child dares to harm me, Lie'Er...!"
A vigorous figure swiftly rushed towards the fat man following the shout. Before he arrived, a Huolie eagle with a length of ten feet, enveloped in flames, appeared in front of Shao Huolie, raising its claw to catch the swift attack of Tooth of Destruction.
Two attempts were blocked, and the fat man also unleashed real fire. Seeing the Tooth of Destruction being blocked again, he raised his hand and formed a soul seal, summoning back the Tooth of Destruction. Without any pause, everyone saw the fat man rapidly change several strange hand seals with both hands, then he raised his right hand above his head and made a grabbing motion towards the sky. Staring at the charging Shao Yan, he shouted, "Starfall...!"
In the blink of an eye, everyone saw the sky above them densely covered with golden light.
In the next moment, the dense golden light turned into countless golden meteors and smashed towards Shao Yan.
Shao Yan couldn't remember how many years it had been since someone dared to attack him. Ten years? Twenty years? Even more...!
In my memory, since I advanced to the fifth realm Star Realm, it seems that no one has dared to challenge me again.
Now, even a kid from the Three Realms Star Meridian Realm dares to challenge me? Am I getting old? Or have I been inactive for too long, and these people have forgotten my skills?
Watching the golden shooting star getting closer and closer in the sky, Shao Yan couldn't help but think.
