The Sacrifice, Part 2

“Sacrifice! Sacrifice!”

“What do you mean, a sacrifice?”

“Who is sacrificing?”

“The grand priest isn’t even here! Who could it be?”

“What is happening?” Even the beast clan leader found it strange. They hadn’t brought any humans for a sacrifice, so how had it occurred?

And who absorbed the powerful force released by the Beast God?

What was going on?

That power seemed to have vanished suddenly. Even though the beast clan leader wanted to rush onto the altar, it now seemed too late.

The dark clouds enveloped the entire altar.

Ye Mo was still absorbing the immense power from the altar. She felt overwhelmed and directly transferred some of the energy to the six children in her space.

This powerful force not only forced Baobao to advance to the tribulation stage but also prepared Beibei and the others for their own tribulations. Guaiguai diligently absorbed the energy, continuously increasing in cultivation.

With a crack, when the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck, Guaiguai had already dashed out from the space, as he was aligned with the lightning element, making it suitable for him to absorb.

Ye Mo’s cultivation skyrocketed like a geyser. The energy was incredibly pure, elevating her directly from the early to the late stage of the Nascent Soul. She instructed the butler to inform Mo Mo, as they all needed to advance together.

As she sent the message, the second bolt of lightning approached. Ye Mo infused all the energy she couldn’t absorb into her space.

The space began to shake, and the butler started absorbing the refined energy. Importantly, he had donned a puppet body that he had asked Ye Mo to refine for him.

Once inside the puppet, the butler began to cultivate, feeling elated. He had attempted this several times before, but it had always ended in failure. This time felt different, suggesting that the power might be a blend of spiritual and ghostly energies—perhaps even immortal power?

At this moment, Mo Mo had already assisted the interstellar soldiers in their elevation. After receiving the butler’s message, he activated the surrounding formations in the valley and instantly teleported to Ye Mo’s side. As soon as he arrived, a surge of powerful energy flooded into him.

Mo Mo sensed this energy was pure, feeling as though it was at least immortal power.

However, they had never encountered immortal power before. Even if he guessed it was, he couldn’t be certain, yet the strength of this power was undeniable.

Mo Mo focused on absorbing this immense power. As someone who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, he found this power pushing him directly toward the Out-of-Body stage.

He didn’t suppress his cultivation; after all, he was practicing both yin and yang. If his spiritual cultivation was advancing toward Out-of-Body, his ghostly cultivation would progress toward Ghost King (and before this Mo Mo’s ghost cultivation was at Ghost Lord if I wrote it wrong before).

As Mo Mo prepared for his tribulation, the dark clouds above grew even more menacing, frightening the entire beast clan.

These overwhelming calamity clouds were about to envelop the entire planet.

Under such overwhelming divine might, some nearby beast clan members could barely stand, let alone escape.

They all began to pray fervently, seeking the Beast God’s protection.

Meanwhile, the beast clan leader was silently weeping. Who had stolen the power of their Beast God? He knew that this time, the entire beast clan was doomed. The altar was at the centre of the dark clouds, and once the heavenly lightning struck, it would likely be reduced to nothing.

While others were unaware, the beast clan leader understood all too well that every time they performed a sacrifice, they depleted the Beast God’s divine power.

The beast clan only held sacrifices infrequently, as doing so too often would harm the Beast God. He certainly didn’t have enough divine power to supply to the lower realms.

It had been less than six months since the last sacrifice. In such a short time, he worried whether the Beast God had regained the power given previously. Now, he saw that the strength being given away by Beast God was immense.

Yet, at the centre of the dark clouds, not a single beast was present to benefit from this power. They had no way to inform the Beast God.

Ye Mo and her family were blissfully unaware of this, as they were all on the brink of surviving the tribulation.

Not only had Mo Mo reached the Out-of-Body stage, but Ye Mo had also arrived there due to her initial acceptance of divine energy. As for the children, aside from Guaiguai, who had reached the late stage of Golden Core stage, the other five little ones were all undergoing their Golden Core tribulations.

This Golden Core tribulation was incredibly easy for Ye Mo’s family, especially since there was someone outside to take the blame for the lightning. In the space, the five kids only needed to refine their bodies a bit with the tribulation lightning before smoothly entering the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, surprisingly, the butler had officially stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cultivation was continuing to rise. He cherished this opportunity greatly.

Following the tribulation of lightning, the connection between the space and him deepened.

As soon as the five children reached the Golden Core stage, they were immediately pulled outside to receive immortal power.

The powerful force from the altar overwhelmed them, leaving them dazed, but they focused on their parents’ guidance to continue cultivating.

Seeing the current situation, the butler rushed outside. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was quickly approaching his own Golden Core tribulation. He hurried back into the space, knowing that his puppet body wouldn’t withstand the lightning. He needed to refine his body properly during the tribulation.

Although the family’s cultivation looked a bit chaotic, the butler organized the long-time followers in the space to switch to puppet bodies. While they were all transitioning to smaller puppet forms, their cultivation would evolve as they progressed.

So everyone remained calm!

The lightning continued to strike relentlessly, causing the beast clan leader to kneel in prayer, but it did nothing to alleviate their fate.

The tribulation lightning descended upon Ye Mo and Mo Mo at the Out-of-Body stage. They immediately placed the other five children into the space, as the powerful lightning was far beyond what they could withstand. Guaiguai was different; being aligned with the lightning element, his power, enhanced by previous tribulations, was nearly equivalent to that of the heavenly tribulation.
