Chapter 882: Earth Cultivated Grade Sacrificial Offerings (2/2)

Heaven-shaking, earth-toppling rumbles once again echoed in their ears after traveling an extremely long distance.

All of a sudden, the ancient altar in the middle of the square started to shake.

BOOM! BOOM!

The violent shaking even sent the piled corpses flying off the altar and falling to the side.

After the dust settled, the entire stone altar was finally fully shown, revealing a handful of peculiar holes in the thick, solid stone.

Something shining with divine golden light suddenly rose from one of them.

Upon a closer look, it seemed to be a piece of divine metal covered in countless complicated golden engravings.

Staring unblinkingly at the piece of golden metal, Huang Jinnan suddenly exclaimed, “Primal metal! That’s a piece of naturally-formed primal metal, which is branded with the profound mysteries of metal power!”

A shocked expression spread across Nie Tian’s face. “Primal metal?”

“Yeah, it’s an extremely precious metal-attribute treasure!” Huang Jinnan said excitedly. “It forms in the depths of metal mines after absorbing metal power for hundreds of thousands of years! As a seventh level Earth Cultivated grade treasure, it already has its own awareness, vague though it may be. If I can obtain it, I’ll be able to turn it into a main material after minimal refinement, which I’ll be able to use to forge my domain in the future!”

“Not just that, but it can also be used to forge metal-attributed Spirit Channeling grade treasures! Since it has developed its own soul, it won’t have compatibility issues, unlike treasures that are given souls. Such Spirit Channeling grade treasures will have great potential to upgrade to the Immortal grade!”

Huang Jinnan had never been so excited.

At this moment, a few fresh green tree leaves rose from another hole in the stone altar.

Like invaluable emeralds, they emanated dazzling light.

As this happened, the coexisting flower images once again appeared uncontrollably in the depths of Mu Biqiong’s pupils.

“Those tree leaves...” She felt the coexisting flowers’ extremely strong desire for the tree leaves, as if they were precious wood-attributed treasures which would be of immeasurable help to their growth.

At the same time, Nie Tian realized that his vortex of wood power also accelerated as soon as the tree leaves emanated glorious light.

Even his bloodline aura grew restless, as if it wanted to seize them at the first possible moment.

At that moment, a streak of bright lightning rose from a third hole in the stone altar. Like a spiritual snake, it flew over the altar, as if it had its own awareness.

Even though the streak of lightning was only as thick as a man’s finger, it started gathering lightning power from its surroundings as soon as it appeared, giving rise to thunderous rumbles.

As that happened, a cluster of bleak, pale flames rose from a fourth hole in the stone altar.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

Wisps of corpse auras flew uncontrollably out of the ghouls in the vicinity, infusing into the cluster of bleak, pale flames.

Then, after the primal metal, the tree leaves, the lightning bolt, and pale flames, a grayish-brown ball the size of a fist flew out of the stone altar, which seemed to be a crystallization of earth power. As it flew out, a strong vibration spread out from under the altar deep into the earth.

After rising out of the altar, the five spiritual materials of different attributes all flew about restlessly, as if they were eager to leave the altar.

They seemed to have sensed some kind of danger.

They kept dashing back and forth over the altar, but were stopped by invisible walls every time.

Gazing at them from afar, Huang Jinnan took a deep breath and said, “All five of them are Earth Cultivated grade treasures. Like the corpses around the altar, they must also be sacrificial offerings the Stone Golems used to hold some mysterious ceremony. The fact that they suddenly burst out, hoping to leave the altar, is probably because they sensed Stone Golems approaching.”

“Stone Golems?!” one of the Qi warriors behind him exclaimed.

Then, even Huang Jinnan grew somewhat insecure and uneasy as he said, “I guess Nie Tian was right. Some Stone Golem survivors are indeed coming to this place. Since the offerings are still here, it must mean that their sacrificial ceremony was somehow interrupted, and wasn’t completed. The Stone Golems are probably coming here to finish the unfinished sacrificial ceremony.

“Those Earth Cultivated spiritual materials already possess their own awareness. They know what will happen to them, and thus are doing everything they can to escape.

“We can’t wait anymore. We can forget about those treasures if we don’t collect them before those powerful Stone Golems get here!

“Let’s do this, Nie Tian! You deal with the evil spirits if they fly out of those stone columns! I’ll take care of the ghouls!

“We have to collect all five sacrificial offerings before the Stone Golems get here!”

With these words, he flew directly towards the center of the square before Nie Tian could even give him a response.

CRACK! CRACK!

Cracks suddenly appeared in the stone columns that stood in the square.

The evil spirits that had been imprisoned for who knew how many years flew out. Like a sea of gray clouds, they swarmed towards Huang Jinnan from different directions.

“Nie Tian!” he shouted.

“Coming!”
