I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 78 - 34: Celestial God’s Descent

When the guards heard the commotion from inside the great hall and rushed into the Ancestral Temple,

what they saw was the statue of the Heaven-Howling Clan embedded forcefully into the altar, with the whole structure appearing to be in a cracked state.

"There’s an intruder! Quickly notify the High Priest!"

The leading guard was initially stunned, then noticed the shattered window.

Bewilderment, shock, terror, anger...

A myriad of complex emotions echoed in the hearts of the guards.

Correspondingly, there were their hoarse, nearly distorted roars of rage.

The Sacrificial Hall of the Ancestral Temple was not far from the Sacrificial Celestial Terrace, so the news of the hall being invaded quickly reached the ears of the priests.

"Who dares intrude upon the forbidden ground of our clan!"

Without time to think it through, the High Priest, who was conducting a sacrificial ritual on the terrace, abruptly raised his staff.

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

From a distance, a giant blood-colored barrier slowly rose around the entire Cliff City, sealing off all creatures trying to leave the area.

At the same time, in the center of the Blood Pool, a complex pattern was quietly forming in the boiling blood.

Rumble...

Then, under the horrified gaze of the citizens of Cliff City, countless intricate lightning bolts appeared from the sky out of thin air.

Those bolts, coming from the blood-colored barrier, were attempting to strike down any living thing trying to escape the city.

This naturally included the hummingbird that Er Tu had transformed into.

[This is bad!]

Clearly not expecting Guifang Kingdom to react so quickly.

The hummingbird could only watch helplessly as the road ahead was sealed by the blood-colored barrier.

Even more unexpected for the hummingbird was that those intricate lightning bolts indiscriminately attacked all living things that attempted to approach the barrier.

Whether a nimble eagle or a tiny mosquito...

Once the barrier rose, any breathing creature was prohibited from leaving this place.

"The intruder is there! Archers, shoot arrows at it!"

With eyes wide, staring at the edge of the barrier.

The High Priest quickly noticed the unusually agile hummingbird.

Weaving through the intricate lightning bolts, always managing to escape the strikes at critical moments, it was evidently no ordinary hummingbird.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

In an instant, the guards near the Sacrificial Celestial Terrace responded first.

Close to a thousand sharp arrows sliced through the sky, shooting toward the hummingbird with almost unbelievable precision and speed.

Whoosh!

Realizing the danger, Er Tu dared not neglect, transforming mid-air into a fly to avoid the volley of arrows.

However, that barrage of arrows was merely the first wave of attacks.

"Priests, cast your curses!"

"No matter what, take down that intruder!"

With the onset of the second wave of arrows, the priests, finally reacting, started to utilize their signature witchcraft and spells.

Some made the arrows shoot more accurately and faster...

Some manipulated the blood energy to manifest into birds and beasts for a sneak attack...

Some directly cast all manner of chaotic curses on Er Tu...

In just a blink, the hummingbird could no longer stabilize its flight path and plummeted straight down from mid-air.

Those tangible attacks and ambushes could be dodged, but the intangible curses were not so easily avoided.

Fortunately, Er Tu was not fighting alone.

Woosh!

A pitch-black shadow surged up again, taking on the force of those curses in place of the hummingbird.

This was another way Li Boyang utilized his shadow incarnations.

The three-inch figure was connected with the main body, fused with the Earth Vein Evil Qi, naturally possessing astonishing sensitivity and resistance to various curses.

Had he not lacked knowledge in this area, Li Boyang could have even reversed the curses against those priests.

Nonetheless, although Li Boyang lacked expertise in this area,

there was someone who had studied it, and who was an expert.

"Bone-Eroding Heart Curse!"

Deliberately hiding at the outermost edge of the altar, Xuan Hui silently cast his curse technique.

But his spell was not aimed at attacking Er Tu, but rather targeted the nearby priests casting curses, significantly weakening the effect of their spells.

Due to the sheer number of priests casting spells nearby, coupled with Xuan Hui’s astonishing mastery in witchcraft curses, no priest realized someone on their side was sabotaging them secretly.

Only Xuan Hui’s teacher vaguely sensed something, his gaze suspiciously surveying the surroundings.

Unfortunately, the old priest did not discover Xuan Hui and ultimately could only direct his gaze back to the hummingbird in the sky.

"High Priest, we can’t continue like this."

Walking up to the Grand Priest’s side, the old priest expressed his judgment.

"The Sovereign and others have already been alerted, and panic is spreading throughout the city..."

"Not to mention the massive consumption needed to maintain the barrier, we must resolve this swiftly and decisively!"

The High Priest certainly understood the old priest’s concerns.

However, facing such an intruder violating the ancestors and even the prestige of the gods, the High Priest had no choice but to decisively bring down the adversary.

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

In a more severe scenario, it could even affect the prestige of Guifang Kingdom and the upcoming large-scale slave capture and sacrifices.

"I..."

Just as the High Priest hesitated on what to do next, his expression suddenly changed.

Following that, the High Priest’s gaze turned hollow, his voice ethereal.

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

"Retain him, at all costs, retain him."

"He not only trespassed on the forbidden grounds of the Divine Temple, but he’s also the culprit behind the frequent thefts of grain recently."

"He is the one who angered the gods and caused Guifang Kingdom to lose its prestige!"

When the High Priest spoke this way, the priests nearby almost unanimously knelt down, even the most senior old priest was no exception.

"We abide by the divine decree!"

Only after the High Priest reverted to his original state did the priests dare to raise their heads.

"Awaken the Blood Demon in advance; only it can bear the full descent of the gods’ might."

Looking firmly at the Blood Pool below, the High Priest did not exhibit the slightest hesitation this time.

Whirl... whirl... whirl...

Thus, the multitude of priests heeded the command, performing witchcraft on the Blood Pool below.

In an instant, a massive whirlpool appeared at the center of the Blood Pool.

The pattern originally formed there began to move as if it were a living being.

Boom!

Suddenly, the complex pattern devoured the power of the entire Blood Pool and manifested into a physical entity.

It was a towering Blood Demon, an incarnation capable of bearing the full descent of the gods’ power.

Rumble...

The spontaneously appearing lightning struck the blood demon incarnation, making it appear even more vivid, like a living being.

All the priests were excited for the descent of the gods, except Xuan Hui, hidden at the edge, who wore a complex expression.

Because the form of the blood demon incarnation was exactly the same as You Chong who willingly sacrificed himself earlier.
