Volume 3 The Lair Chapter 286 Blood Sacrifice Ritual
The believers of the 'Five Immortal Guards' gathered around the fire, their eyes flashing with anticipation and fanaticism.
There was no expression on their faces, as if indifferent to the bloody scene that was coming, and in the midst of them, the flesh of Ember Fire, tied to a pillar, and the three major sacrificial vessels were placed on the ground, waiting for the ritual to begin.
Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky, and the leader of the Five Immortal Guards appeared in the field.
He looked up at the sky, folded his hands, and began to chant a mysterious incantation, his voice echoing in the air, as if he had traveled through time and space, and mysterious powers from ancient times began to permeate this space.
With the chanting of the incantation, the devotees of the 'Five Immortal Guards' began to move.
They held swords in their hands and moved around the sacrificial vessel at a specific pace, and with each swing of the sword, there would be a stream of blood, splashed on the sacrificial vessel, and the blood-colored mist rose in the sacrificial vessel, blending with the golden light in the air, forming a strange and mysterious space.
The pace of the ritual became faster and faster, and the steps of the believers of the 'Five Immortal Guards' became more and more compact, their faces began to appear tired, but the frenzy in their eyes was even stronger, and their figures loomed in the blood-colored mist, like evil spirits, frantically devouring everything.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, it was the horn of the blood sacrifice ceremony.
The voice, like a yaksha screaming in hell, pierced the quiet night sky with chills, and in an indescribable way, it called all participants to offer their deepest passion and adoration to the mysterious blood sacrifice ritual.
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of souls carefully placed the three major sacrificial vessels in front of the body that bound the embers.
The dark lamp, as the first of the three major sacrificial vessels, is cast from ancient bronze vessels, and its shape is unique and full of mystery.
The color of the lamp body is a deep black, like the abyss in the night sky, full of unknown and mysterious, however, in the depths of the lamp body, there is a strange light hidden.
When night falls, the wick of the lamp burns and glows blue.
Like a ghost in the abyss, the light was bright and mysterious, flickering and emanating with an eerie color, illuminating everything around it, but it seemed impossible to reach the darkness deep within.
The swaying blue light, swimming on the black surface of the dark lamp, like a deep lake, ripples in the moonlight, the light seems to have life, exuding a cold atmosphere, making people feel an indescribable sense of weirdness.
When using the dark lantern, people can always see some strange phenomena around it.
Sometimes, the flame of the wick will jump into a strange shape, like some kind of ancient text, and like the shadow of an unknown creature, and sometimes, the light of the dark lamp will attract mysterious flying insects, which will fly around the wick as if they are attracted, adding a mysterious atmosphere.
According to ancient legends, the lantern was a tool used by ancient priests to communicate with the gods, and when the priests chanted ancient incantations, the light of the lantern would become more intense, as if communicating with some kind of power.
However, more secrets about the Dark Lantern, such as how it was made, its mysterious source of energy, and its relationship to the other two parts of the Three Great Ritual Vessels, are still hidden in the fog of history, waiting to be revealed by future generations.
And this time, during the blood sacrifice ceremony, the dark lamp was arranged to be placed in the center of the altar to provide protection of light for the entire ceremony.
Around the dark lanterns, the demon spirits are seriously preparing for this ritual related to the order of the yin and yang realm, their movements are precise and mysterious, as if they are dancing an invisible dance, everyone is doing their duty in their position, and the whole ritual is as precise as the gears of a clock.
The Ring of the Dead, the magic of the three major sacrificial vessels, is made of the finest Hetian jade, engraved with ancient runes and patterns, mysterious and delicate, they are intertwined with subtle lines and complex symbols, forming a language that is both ancient and powerful
It seems to be the memory of the universe, the traces of history, silently telling the story of the past and predicting the possibility of the future.
The inner power of the Ring seems to be closely connected to the natural texture and pure texture of Hetian jade.
Every texture, every piece of jade, is filled with the traces of time and the rhythm of life, a power that can be seen and perceived, and it flows in every detail of the Ring, waiting to be awakened.
And the power of the Ring of Darkness does not lie only in its material form.
Its magic comes from its connection with the invisible, with the world that we can't see, it is like a portal to another dimension, containing the possibility of exploring the depths of the yin and yang world.
When the ring is worn on the finger, it seems to have an invisible force, gently touching the wearer's skin, as if it is a whisper, a communication, and a kind of protection.
It silently reminds the wearer that they are part of the yin and yang realm, a corner of infinite possibilities.
The Ring is not just an object, it is a symbol, a belief, and an exploration and respect for the unknown.
The moment the wearer feels the presence of the ring, it is as if they are able to touch the depth of life and feel the breath of the universe, which is an extraordinary experience, a feeling that cannot be fully expressed in words.
And the Underworld Ring, integrated into the three major sacrificial vessels, adds to its mystery.
Each of the three sacrificial vessels has its own unique power and history, and together they form a mysterious and complete cosmology.
When the three sacrificial vessels appear at the same time as the Ring of the Underworld, their power will multiply, opening the door to the Yin and Yang Realm, revealing deeper truths.
This is the Ring, an object full of mystery and power, a medium to explore the depths of the Yin and Yang realm.
During this blood sacrifice ceremony, the Ring, given to the sacrificer, was placed in the hands of Ember and used to guide and protect the altar.
Obviously, the ember body was going to be a victim of this sacrifice.
And, as one of the three major sacrificial vessels, the most mysterious existence, the mirror is made of porcelain burned paper, inlaid with a mirror that can reveal the truth through yin and yang.
This mirror has a long history and mysterious legends.
It is rumored that it is a rare sacrificial vessel for sewing corpses, able to communicate the two worlds of yin and yang, seeing the cycle of life and death, after the decline of sewing corpses, the mirror once fell to the people, and now it appears again, making this already mysterious mirror become extremely mysterious.
The mirror surface of the mirror has a special ability to see through life and death and see the soul of a person.
This makes it a sacred object in both the yin and yang worlds, and is used in various sacrifices and sacred occasions.
However, there is also great danger in the Mirror of the Dark, because being able to see the Yin and Yang worlds also means that it is easy to lead to unforeseen disasters.
As a result, the Mirror is often seen as a mysterious and dangerous existence, and although it has the ability to see the two worlds of yin and yang, and can see the cycle of life and death, it is often regarded as a taboo that cannot be easily touched.
The process of making the mirror is full of mystery and ritual, and it is usually made by skilled ceramic craftsmen in the middle of the night, under a specific moon phase, using special materials and spells.
This uses the mirror of the soul, which requires great concentration and mental effort, it can reflect the image in the user's mind, and can also reveal some unknown information, but these images and information are often full of profound philosophy and mystery, and not everyone can understand it.
However, the most fearful thing is that the Mirror of the Dark Mirror may attract some unforeseen evil.
Because it can see the two worlds of yin and yang, it is also easy to attract some beings beyond the present world, and these beings may appear in various ways, bringing unknown dangers and challenges.
Overall, the Mirror is a double-edged sword, and although it can reveal many things that ordinary people can't know, it also requires a great deal of price for the user.
Therefore, despite being able to control the sewing corpse vein of the Dark Mirror, most people remained in awe of it and did not dare to touch it easily.
And it, this time, during the blood sacrifice ceremony, the mirror was placed on the side of the altar, reflecting an eerie light, which was used to observe the process and effect of the ritual.
On the altar, the three major sacrificial vessels shimmer with mysterious light, as if telling the vicissitudes of history for thousands of years.
This is a rare gathering of wind and clouds, attracting the attention of countless people and ghosts.
The three sacrificial vessels were returned as scheduled, the embers were sacrificed, the body was tied to the stone pillar in the center of the altar, and the soul was bound to the suppression of the runes.
Everything was ready, and suddenly the wind and clouds on the altar changed, and the three major sacrificial vessels emitted dazzling light.
A mysterious power, emanating from the sacrificial vessel, intertwined with each other, forming a huge vortex of energy.
In the center of the altar, an illusory figure slowly emerged, it was the mighty man who met here thousands of years ago, and he left an idea that he would open the road of inheritance after a thousand years, so that those who were destined to inherit this thousand-year-old inheritance.
Suddenly, the Dark Lamp, the Ring and the Mirror began to resonate, emitting a dazzling light.
The three major sacrificial vessels, as if pulled by some mysterious force, slowly flew towards the illusory figure in the center of the altar.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the altar.
This person is the mysterious person who is regarded as the immortal lord by the 'Five Immortal Guards', wearing a cyan robe and a mask, with a murderous aura and an extraordinary bearing, but when the spirits look at it, he is a child who has not grown up.
The child stretched out his hands and took the three major sacrificial vessels one by one, and suddenly, the energy vortex on the altar spun even more violently.
The illusory figure nodded slightly, as if seeing its master.
"I've waited for a thousand years, and I've finally waited for you."
The kid was a little excited, but kept his restraint and whispered.
Then, the three major sacrificial vessels transformed into that illusory figure, and slowly merged into the body of the ember, and suddenly, the ember felt a power that had never been surging in his body.
It was an immensely powerful power, from the three sacrificial vessels, which in an incredible way merged into his body, his muscles began to become strong, his bones began to become tough, and his blood began to become hot.
In this process, the soul that was bound by the ember fire seemed to have a sense, but it felt that something was not right, that force was repelling the ember's body, as if to say, this body was not its owner.
The embers flickered slightly, and his eyes flickered with doubt.
He tried to control the force, only to find that it had rejected his commands, like an autonomous creature, resisting his restraints, as if it had its own will and purpose.
Ember couldn't help but be surprised, realizing that something was wrong.
In Ember Sense, the soul and body should be perfectly integrated, penetrating each other, and being each other's inside and outside, but now, his soul felt a strong rejection, which made him feel very uneasy.
He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, trying to calm his heart.
Then, the power of the three major sacrificial vessels had escaped from the body of the ember fire, and the reality told everyone present that this physical body was not the master who could control the three major sacrificial vessels.
