Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 59 Interception
Katim looked up in front of him.

There, the barrier still stood quietly, unchanged.

But this time, Katim had no intention of continuing to fight.

He thought for a moment, and then took out something from his arms.

That's a golden key.

The key is made of a mysterious material with many unique runes engraved on it, like some mysterious ancient writing.

Katim took out this thing and then slowly walked towards him.

His actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Zaku, you."

Sang Mu looked at Katim's movements and couldn't help but hesitate.

He was about to ask, but then he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In front of him, he saw Katim holding the golden key and slowly walking towards the altar in front.

During this process, the invisible barrier also emerged, but it did not block Katim at all and allowed him to enter directly.

Looking at him like this, it was almost as if he was one of his own.

"how is this possible?"

Looking at this scene, the Great Elder was also stunned: "The power of the ritual accepted him, how is this possible?"

Once the ritual is running, no external force can affect the ritual, unless the strength of that force is stronger than the ritual.

Katim obviously does not have the power to compete with the ritual, so why.
"That key."

He quickly realized the reason and looked at the golden key in Katim's hand: "What exactly is that key?"

The key passed down in the Jena family is related to the rituals in Maru City.

Jenna had already reminded Katim of this point before.

But I'm afraid Jina herself didn't expect that this key could play such a huge role here.

puff
Waves of crisp sounds came out, like the sound of bubbles bursting.

Katim walked all the way to the front, passed through the barrier, and truly entered the interior of the ceremony.

Unlike what he had imagined, the scene here was quite clean.

There were no extraneous furnishings everywhere, just corpses that had been sucked into mummies.

These were obviously fighters that the Black Council had captured from various places before.

From Khadim's perspective, the quantity and quality of these corpses was so high that even he was amazed.

Before this, Katim had also captured many fighters for his promotion and turned them into sacrifices for his promotion.

But the sacrifices he caught in order to improve himself were nothing compared to the almost piled up corpses in front of him.

Among them, Katim also found some familiar shadows.

"Sister Ellie."

In a corner, Katim found Ellie's body.

She was still wearing the training clothes from the Red Bird Martial Arts School, and her whole body had become a mummy, with only a few traces of her being visible.

If he wasn't sensitive enough to the sense of breath, I'm afraid Katim wouldn't be able to find traces of Ellie from a pile of corpses.

Standing there, he looked at Ellie's body quietly, looking there for a long time, and then left.

In his heart, the murderous intention began to rise.

Continuing forward, he came to a flat land.

This is the center of the altar.

In front of it is a huge pool, which contains terrifying power.

On the side, a figure stood quietly.

That was the figure of an old man.

His body was thin and his face was vaguely similar to the great elder outside, but he was much older. He was clad in a black robe and had a red mark between his eyebrows.

The old man stood quietly, not reacting at all to any movement from the outside world. It looked like he was not surprised by Katim's arrival.

"Are you the leader of the Black Council?"

Katim looked at the old man in front of him and said.

In response to his question, the old man in front of him did not reply, but just let out a long sigh.

"Sure enough, someone still came in."

The old man turned around quietly and faced Katim.

With the faint light from the outside world, Katim could see its appearance clearly.

He was so skinny that he looked almost the same as a mummy.

"you"

Katim couldn't help but frown: "Are you treating yourself as a sacrifice?"

Katim, who had made sacrifices many times, knew very well the changes in the old man before him.

This is clearly turning himself into a sacrifice.

His body has shrunk at this moment, and most of his body has turned into a skeleton and mummy, looking no different from a corpse.

When an ordinary person reaches this level, he should die no matter what, but he doesn't know why, but he is still alive and retains his consciousness.

"It is my greatest honor to be a sacrifice to the gods and contribute to the resurrection of the gods."

The old man said calmly: "伱"

Before he could say a word, he was forcibly interrupted by Katim.

As the long sword fell, a look of astonishment appeared on the old man's face, and a head fell quietly, colliding with the ground and making a crisp sound.

"Who wants to listen to you forcing me to do it?"

Katim's voice sounded from the side.

He looked at the old man's body and head at his feet, his face full of indifference.

After living for such a long time, Katim also gained some experience.

Looking at the old man's behavior just now, it seemed that he was going to give a long speech, and even tell him a lot of big principles, preparing to brainwash him.

Katim doesn't have that much time to listen to his nonsense.What if he was stalling for time?
Killing him while he is sick is the truth.

He turned around, preparing to study everywhere and find a way to stop this ritual.

But I never thought that a long sigh could be heard from behind.

"Are all young people today so impatient?"

Katim paused, silently turned around and looked to the side.

I saw that the old man's head fell to the ground at that place just now, but he was still talking at this moment.

Is this a scam?
A look of surprise appeared on Katim's face: "Your body is gone, how can you still speak?"

Katim acted very calmly regarding the old man's deception.

After all, there is always something special about a magic stick.

"As long as you believe in the Blood Moon God, you can have such miracles."

The old man continued to speak, trying to persuade Katim to defect.

Katim simply ignored it.

defection?

If I defect, will you make up for the lost energy?
After confirming that the old guy had no strength to resist now and could only ensure that he would not die, Katim ignored him and began to explore around.

This central altar is filled with densely packed runes.

Some of the runes Katim had seen in life rituals, but most were unknown to them.

Compared with the ceremony in front of me, the content involved in the life ceremony is still too simple.

Katim was exploring everywhere, trying to find the key to stopping the ritual, but he never found it.

"give up."

Behind him, the old man kept talking: "Once the ceremony begins, there is no way to stop it."

"Your efforts are doomed to be ineffective."

Katim paid no attention to what he meant and turned directly to the side.

Finally, he found some clues.

The center of this ceremony is the pool in front.

The pool was filled with bloody energy.

This energy is the key to supplying the ritual and making it successful.

In theory, as long as the operation of the energy pool is destroyed and the ritual lacks energy to operate, the ritual can naturally stop.

Katim's thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Although the conditions are simple, you can still give it a try."

This thought flashed through Katim's mind.

After a moment, under the old man's puzzled gaze, Katim began to move.

He took out a lot of materials, carved runes there, and carved the next mark.

"Is this a ritual?"

The old man wondered: "What does he want to do?"

The old man was puzzled by Katim's actions.

But soon, he understood what Katim wanted to do.

Khadim was quick to carve out rituals.

The engraving of life rituals is often one-time. After this time, the engraving needs to be continued next time.

In this situation, Katim had already repeated it countless times and knew it by heart.

Even this time, in order to make it easier to digest his trophies on the spot, he also brought the materials needed for ritual engraving.

Right now.

After a while, the life ritual was completed.

One end faced Katim, while the sacrifice at the other end faced the huge pool ahead.

"Just in time, I can also verify my guess."

Looking at the ceremony taking shape in front of him, Katim's face was calm, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

The next moment, he directly cut his arm open.

The blood began to spread and flow into the pool ahead.

Then the ceremony began to sparkle.

"not good!"

Looking at this scene, the old man suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart: "Does he want to..."

As the thoughts flashed through his mind, the ceremony began to officially begin.

Boom!

The energy in front of him began to stop.

At this moment, the energy that was originally flowing forward was intercepted.

Part of the energy suddenly flowed into Katim's body along with the life ritual.

boom!
Huge, extremely huge energy is flashing.

Along with the operation of the life ritual, terrifying vitality emerged from Katim's body.

Katim has experienced this feeling many times in the past.

But compared with his experience this time, any promotion and sacrifice in the past were nothing.

The unimaginably huge life force rushed into Katim's body, almost bursting his body.

Fortunately, the body of the approaching knight is still relatively tough. Nothing has happened yet, and he is still trying to digest it and become stronger.

With the emergence of a large amount of life force, a life seed in Katim's body also began to transform rapidly, completing that step at an extremely fast speed.

Great knight!
In the blink of an eye, Katim's body began to sublimate, and the life seeds in his body completed the transformation, directly going one step further.

And that's not the end.
