Chapter 2344: The Sacrificial Battle Spirit (2/2)

This golden battle spirit was over ten thousand zhang tall, exuding a heart-palpitating momentum, standing in the air right behind Huang Xiaolong as crepuscular rays of golden light shone from its body.

Watching this sight, the various forces’ experts showed shock, and low murmurs ran through the crowd. Even the Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun could not conceal the barest shock on her face.

“Mas-Master, what’s that?!” The leader of Clear Snow Palace’s three beauties, Tan Juan, could not help asking. She had never heard of this kind of situation during the prayer offerings on the sacrificial altar.

Previously, the sacrificial altar had been lit three times, but this kind of situation has never appeared.

Ji Xinyi and Lin Xiaoying stared wide-eyed at this scene, astounded yet curious at the same time.

The Clear Snow Palace Hall Master Xue Lingyun sucked in a breath of cold air, and her expression grew serious as she spoke, “If I am not wrong, this should be the sacrificial battle spirit from the legends!”

“The sac-sacrificial battle spirit?” Tan Juan was astonished, “What is that?”

Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun explained, “This sacrificial altar is actually a primal artifact! More accurately, it is a naturally born primal artifact!”

“What?!” The Clear Snow Palace’s three beauties were greatly surprised. They hadn’t expected this sacrificial altar to be actually a primal artifact born of nature. None of them had ever heard of such a thing.

Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun went on, “In truth, there is a reason why the apprenticeship ceremony is held here on the Sacrificial Mountain instead of the Holy Heavens Manor. It is said that this sacrificial altar’s origins are quite mysterious, and even the Holy Heavens’ four Primal Ancestors could not fully control it! It was because even the four Primal Ancestors could not awaken the sacrificial battle spirit!”

“Only by awakening the sacrificial battle spirit and obtaining its recognition can one truly control the sacrificial altar!”

Lin Xiaoying’s breathing quickened, “Now that the sacrificial battle spirit appears when Huang Xiaolong is offering prayers, does that mean, Huang Xiaolong, he…?!”

The Clear Snow Palace Master Xue Lingyun nodded, “Yes!”

High in the air above the three floors of the sacrificial altar, the Heavenly Master, Lord Long, Elder Crow, and Tyrant Chu were just as astonished as everyone else.

“It looks like this kid is really our Holy Heavens’ blessed general since he actually awakened the sacrificial battle spirit!” The Heavenly Master muttered with a beaming face.

Lord Long chuckled comfortably, “We should give this kid some rewards afterwards.”

Elder Crow and Tyrant Chu both nodded in agreement.

The Beast Tamer Holy Gate’s Yu Fujiang’s chest was filled with raging jealousy as he watched this scene below the altar.

The prayers offering lasted for a good half an hour. After it ended, it was the beginning of Huang Xiaolong’s apprenticeship ceremony, worshipping the Heavenly Master, Lord Long, Elder Crow, and Tyrant Chu as his masters.

The four Primal Ancestors were beaming, and the Heavenly Master even reached out and lightly held Huang Xiaolong’s arm as Huang Xiaolong got up.

The apprenticeship ceremony ended with cheers of congratulations from various forces’ experts.

The first to present the congratulatory gift was the Clear Snow Palace.

“Clear Snow Palace gifts one pellet of Clear Jade Grand Rebirth Holy Pill!” A Holy Heavens Elder announced sonorously.

“What? Holy pill?!!” When the crowd heard that Clear Snow Palace had actually gifted a holy pill to Huang Xiaolong, all around were astounded expressions.

Subsequently, it was the Holy Lands Alliance. Although the Holy Lands Alliance did not gift a holy pill, they still gifted high-grade origin spiritual pills. Moreover, there were ten pills!

Further down were the first-tier forces below the Clear Snow Palace and Holy Lands Alliance.

When the congratulatory gifts session ended, it signaled the start of the third event—a sparring exchange on stage!

A battle stage quietly rose from the ground at the plaza center.

Huang Xiaolong and the female disciple sent out by the Clear Snow Palace, Zhao Ya, stood on the battle stage facing each other.

“Your Highness Huang Xiaolong, please enlighten me,” said Zhao Ya.

“Please enlighten me.” Experts around the plaza stared fixedly at the battle stage, afraid of missing something if they happened to blink.

Inexplicably, Lin Xiaoying felt nervous.

Noticing Lin Xiaoying’s nervousness, Tan Juan reassured her through voice transmission, “Junior Sister Xiaoying, rest assured. Junior Sister Zhao Ya has measures of things and she knows when she should stop. She will not injure Huang Xiaolong.”
