Chapter 586: Chapter 329: The Grand Sacrificial Ceremony
This four-clawed giant dragon is entirely different from what they had previously imagined.
For a moment, the three of them vaguely sensed something amiss, yet they couldn’t pinpoint where this feeling of unease originated from.
After all, upon reaching the seventh tier, even their feeble comprehension of the Cosmic Dao would allow them to sense certain things.
It always felt as if some force was influencing them.
However, even so, they were extremely enraged at the prospect of Lu Sheng becoming a seventh-tier king spirit soon.
In their eyes, Lu Sheng should obediently maintain his identity as a sixth-tier totem spirit.
As for the seventh tier... it’s not a level that Lu Sheng should tread upon.
There are only so many resources in the Totem World. Even without Lu Sheng, they themselves have significant grievances over the distribution of these resources.
Under such circumstances, it’s only natural they would be even more displeased with Lu Sheng’s actions.
"It’s time to let him know that the rules of this world... are crafted by us!"
"Trying to break the rules... is not something a mere sixth-tier totem spirit like him can do. At least right now, he doesn’t have the qualifications to break the rules we set!"
The Black Tortoise spoke indifferently, yet within its heavy voice, a strong killing intent surged forth.
The four king spirits exchanged glances, then made a decision.
"We must disrupt his ritual; otherwise, if this dragon lizard enjoys the worship of all living beings in the Eastern Domain, the resulting power of faith will undoubtedly grant it a massive breakthrough in spiritual power!"
"Even if it can’t become a totem king spirit then, it will still lay a solid foundation for its Great Xia, which we absolutely cannot allow!"
The four-clawed giant dragon spoke in a deep voice, its murderous intent even denser than that of the Black Tortoise.
In a way, lizards and dragons share the same origin, but in a dragon’s eyes, lizards undoubtedly stand at the bottom of the disdain chain.
Under these circumstances, the dragon was naturally displeased with Lu Sheng, this dragon lizard, becoming a totem king spirit, aspiring to be on the same level as it.
And even more determined to strangle Lu Sheng in the cradle.
"Agreed!"
The three Black Tortoise king spirits nodded one after another, and after exchanging some ideas, they disappeared into the void.
...
Eastern Domain.
As the flames of war from the Yang Family spread, the entire totem influence in the Eastern Domain suffered a frenzied onslaught.
Even those remaining sixth-tier totem clans faced the Yang Family’s assault with anger but dared not voice their grievances.
Their totem spirits were severely wounded by the suddenly appearing Lu Sheng, with their soul forms shattering instantly, becoming nourishment for Lu Sheng.
In no time, totem spirits across the Eastern Domain were slaughtered by Lu Sheng.
Without their totem spirits, the strength of these totem influences and clans in the Eastern Domain plummeted, and to maintain their original cultivation, they could only accept Lu Sheng’s Dragon Lizard Technique, attaching themselves to him, becoming Lu Sheng’s totem cultivators.
Even though this scattered Lu Sheng’s energies considerably,
the power of faith these totem cultivators brought him was terrifying, coupled with Lu Sheng devouring all the totem spirits in the Eastern Domain.
This pushed Lu Sheng, already at the peak of the sixth tier, even closer to the seventh-tier realm.
"The existence of totem spirits is very special. Compared to martial artists who need to face external tribulations, achieving the seventh tier is much easier; as long as the power of the soul suffices, one can naturally become a seventh tier."
"However, this is regarding totem spirits; for an outsider like me, even without the presence of external tribulations, world consciousness will not easily allow me to achieve the seventh tier!"
"Therefore... during the Ascension ceremony, the totem spirits of this world, including the totem king spirits, will likely take action to prevent me from breaking through the seventh tier!"
"Once the Ascension ceremony is over, I can elevate this avatar’s cultivation to the seventh tier, and upon returning... I can further advance on the path to the eighth tier!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, but within those eyes shone a resplendent brilliance.
"I hope this Totem World... doesn’t disappoint me this time!"
Lu Sheng said, closing his eyes slowly, silently refining those energies in the totem space, waiting for the arrival of the Eastern Domain’s Ascension ceremony.
...
Time flew by swiftly.
Under the Yang Family’s thunderous methods, the totem influences and clans in the Eastern Domain were forcibly subdued, and most totem cultivators switched to practicing Lu Sheng’s Dragon Lizard Technique.
For most totem cultivators, they were initially practicing under different totem spirits.
Switching to Lu Sheng’s Dragon Lizard Technique was actually a great benefit for them.
After all, Lu Sheng is a peak sixth-tier totem spirit, undoubtedly much stronger than the totem spirits they previously followed, with a much higher ceiling.
Under these circumstances, many totem cultivators quickly shifted their mindset and came to worship Lu Sheng, this peak sixth-tier totem spirit.
Even the totem cultivators from the once sixth-tier totem clans changed quickly, as Lu Sheng’s strength was considered top-notch among all totem spirits in the Eastern Domain.
Under such circumstances, worshipping Lu Sheng posed no disadvantages.
Precisely because of this, the process of preparing for the Ascension ceremony was extremely smooth, with many totem cultivators even voluntarily assisting the Yang Family in organizing the Ascension ceremony.
On this day, in a square of the Yang Family in the Eastern Domain.
The bronze cauldron was filled with incense, and wisps of smoke slowly drifted into the sky, making the entire Eastern Domain remarkably quiet at this moment.
They all looked towards the location of the Yang Family residence.
As the blazing sun hung in the sky, shifting to the center, Yang Feng’s voice rang throughout the Yang Family residence.
"The Ascension ceremony... begins!"
With Yang Feng’s voice, a loud bell suddenly rang through the heavens and the earth.
With the first toll, continuous bell chimes began to echo throughout the Eastern Domain, reverberating in the heavens and the earth.
In an instant, countless totem cultivators across the Eastern Domain knelt down toward Lu Sheng’s totem.
Now Lu Sheng’s totem, aided by the profound foundation of the Yang Family, has crafted numerous totems out of blood copper.
This enabled the entire Eastern Domain to participate in the Ascension ceremony.
