Chapter 323 – Will of the Witch God

Chapter 323 – The Will of the Witch God
Apart from the first stone pillar, the two of them didn’t try to move any other stone pillars.

Xu Chuniang carefully surveyed the circle, this stone pillar looks, with the previous ones there is no difference.

Chu Youtian retracted his gaze after only a single glance, muttering in a small voice.

“What exactly is the use of these stone pillars? You can’t pull them out, you can’t move them, could it be that they are suppressing something?”

He had merely made a casual remark, but some kind of thought flashed through Xu Chuniang’s mind like lightning.

She recalled the feeling of discomfort she had felt since entering this valley, as well as the heightened spiritual awareness and speed of those natives, and an unbelievable conjecture rose in her heart.

Their attempt to dig out the stone pillars had triggered a fierce ground movement.

These stone pillars, were they suppressing something under the valley, or were they suppressing the entire valley?
Xu Chuniang shook her head and suppressed this shocking thought, following the faint sound as she kept moving forward.

The two of them were in the belly of the mountain, and it took a long time of circling around before they found a tiny hole behind a stone pillar, which happened to be above the altar.

Xu Chuniang looked down from the hole, and at a glance, she was able to take in the entire scene around the altar.

At this moment, the prayers had already come to an end, and the ritual was about to officially begin.

When Chu Youtian saw the many “sacrifices” on the altar, he was startled.
“This group of natives were so honest in the village, but I didn’t expect that they would be crazy in private. No matter what, we must find a way to destroy the sacrifice. Otherwise, if that Witch God is really summoned out, I’m afraid we won’t be able to compete.”

As soon as the words fell, an accident occurred precipitously, and some cultivators struck out.

They seemed to have discussed the situation and launched a sudden attack from all directions.

However, the several village chiefs at the head of the group let out a cold smile, “The sacrifice begins, kill all the outsiders!”

The villagers behind them moved, raising their weapons in their hands and stabbing towards the outlanders.

The villagers’ hands were several times more sensitive and much more powerful than during the unusual hunt.

Luckily, this group of cultivators who were able to touch the ancestral land were not vegetarians, and under each of their means, they fought with the natives.

However, after the sacrifice began, with the descent of an ancient will, the situation began to go sideways.

Under the influence of this ancient will, the cultivators’ originally weakened strength was once again greatly reduced.

As a result of this, the strength of the natives was instead boosted.

“Damn it, if it wasn’t for the fact that this is the land of the extinct spirit, with my strength of Foundation Establishment Perfection, how would I have gotten here ……”

“If I had known that this level required a combined effort, I would have killed a few less people the other day.”

“The pitiful Heavenly Dao Palace teleported us here, it can’t be that it’s just letting us send us to our deaths, right?”

The cultivators were cursing and swearing while using all their means, but their goal was to rush towards the altar.

They could see clearly that more important than killing a few natives was destroying the sacrifice and preventing that ancient will from enjoying the sacrifice.

However, the number of sacrifices was too many, those killed and sent flying were only a small portion, and more were still being sacrificed, turning into a channel of power that dissolved into that ancient will.

The ancient will became solidified at a slow pace.

Chu Youtian looked anxious, “What should we do, should we kill these children?”

He gripped his spear tightly, but never made up his mind to throw it.

Xu Chuniang frowned and said nothing, looking back at the stone pillar that was buzzing more than just a few times, since the beginning of the sacrifice, this stone pillar had been moving stupidly.

Chu Youtian followed her line of sight and landed on top of the stone pillar, his expression changing slightly.

“These stone pillars, why do they look like they’re about to break out of the ground?”

Xu Chuniang had an indescribable feeling, if these stone pillars were forced out as much as they could, then wouldn’t the thing they were suppressing, would it not have to break free?

The thing that the stone pillars were suppressing was, in all likelihood, the Witch God that the villagers were talking about. Xu Chuniang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her face was already without a ripple.

She took a step forward, and the firelight rose from her body, falling towards the tall altar like a meteor.

For the first time, the indifferent ancient will revealed an emotion of shock and anger, and it did not hesitate to cast a secret spell, conveying its will to each of its fervent descendants.

The natives who fought with the monks sensed the call of the Witch God and did not hesitate to burn their own blood and souls.

Their bodies quickly became shriveled, and they died with a satisfied smile on their faces.

The shrill cries of children came from the altar, and the originally lengthy sacrificial ceremony was cut infinitely short as they had their lives and souls forcibly extracted.

Corresponding to this was the increasingly solidified body of that ancient will above the altar.

All of this happened so fast that a few flames didn’t even have time to fall on top of the altar.

Xu Chuniang’s eyes stared slightly, and she could only watch as the heavenly flames continued to descend, engulfing the altar.

She didn’t have the spiritual power to control the heavenly flames.

The other cultivators woke up as if from a dream, each using their own means to kill the ancient will.

However, that ancient will suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and with it, the entire valley shook.

Xu Chuniang turned around to take a look, and as expected, the stone pillar had been hardened out by two or three inches.

Without hesitation, she pressed her hand on top of the stone monument, and a flurry of fire spread out from her hand, descending continuously down the stone pillar.

The stone pillar emitted a faint dark light, and the rising momentum was given a break.

Still need more fire before ……

Little Walnut sensed her thoughts and once again spat out a large mass of fire, scorching the stone pillar.

The valley shook even more violently, radiating a hysterical madness.

Half of Xu Chuniang’s body was buried by the stones, but her hand always held the stone pillar steadily and tightly, without moving a single bit.

Finally, the black light in the stone pillar bloomed and violently dropped a foot.

And the vibration of the valley with the stone pillar back down, silent for a moment, followed by more and more crazy ground shaking.

But at this moment, a stream of pure to the level of aura, passed out from the stone pillar, through Xu Chuniang’s hand rushed into her body.

Ever since she had entered the Land of Extinct Spirits, her dantian and spirit veins had been silent and dry, and she had been unable to absorb even the spirit stones given by Chu Youtian.

But when this pure spiritual qi fell into her body, it was as if some sort of switch had been flipped.

This spiritual qi nourished her dried up spiritual veins like rain after a long drought, and eventually converged into her dantian.

In the stone pillar, the aura was still drifting out, only it was nowhere near as pure as it was initially.

“It’s aura!”

Chu Youtian, who was buried underneath the stone, let out a cry of supreme surprise, and without hesitation, began to absorb the spiritual qi.

By the time he tumbled out from under the stone, the stone pillar had completely disappeared into the ground, leaving behind only a small pit, from which spiritual qi was constantly overflowing.

And that Daoist Yan, who had smashed the stone pillar in with his own strength, had long since disappeared.

The vibration of the valley, I don’t know when, has also quietly subsided.
