Chapter 300 - 300 The Death of the High Priest

300 The Death of the High Priest

As mentioned before, these humanoid creatures didn’t have high intelligence and were probably created to protect the altar. They were extremely strong and hard to deal with.

Although they took orders from the high priest, Ye Xuan still had that strange heart on him, which also carried information from the altar. Now that the high priest had ordered them to attack Ye Xuan, this was the reason why they had stopped.

After understanding the logic behind this, Ye Xuan was no longer in a hurry and only sped up the speed of his incantation.

At this moment, the high priest’s condition on the altar was not good. His body seemed to have been melted by something, and he quickly shrank by more than half. His human form could not be seen at all. Most of his life force had been absorbed by the altar.

If it had been an ordinary person, they would have died under the influence of the altar and the spell. The high priest was truly powerful to be able to hold on for so long.

“You lowly ant, I will never let you go! Master won’t let you off either!”

“You’ve ruined our plan. Even if I die, you can’t stop the awakening of our Master. One day, he will come to this world.”

“I’m going to tear your skin apart, drain every drop of blood in your body, suppress your soul, and make you unable to reincarnate for the rest of your life!”

Seeing that the humanoid creatures didn’t listen to his orders to attack Ye Xuan, the high priest was so angry that he started cursing.

However, the fiercer he scolded, the more Ye Xuan didn’t care. This proved that the high priest was at the end of his rope and had no other means.

If the high priest had resisted with all his might from the start, Ye Xuan might really not have been able to suppress him. Now that most of his strength had been consumed, Ye Xuan could easily deal with his dying struggles.

Ye Xuan could only blame himself for disguising himself so well that the high priest was not on guard or suspicious at all, which led to him falling for Ye Xuan’s trick.

Wu–

A clang came from the dark as if an ancient bronze bell had been struck, and the sound reverberated for thousands of miles.

Ye Xuan seemed to feel something and looked up. What was that sound?

Even the humanoid creatures were getting restless, and they slowly approached the altar.

The green light on the altar suddenly brightened, and the high priest’s face revealed an extremely frightened expression. He shook his head frantically, “No, no!”

At this moment, his human form was completely unrecognizable, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a lump of meat paste. He looked extremely disgusting, and the sound he made was extremely sharp.

Ye Xuan’s eardrums felt like they were going to burst. He looked down at the shapeless object coldly.

The high priest’s frenzied howl echoed above the altar, and even the ground seemed to shake. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.

The bronze light was like a flood, instantly engulfing everything. No one in this world could withstand such a huge and terrifying power.

Ye Xuan had never felt this way before. In almost an instant, goosebumps appeared all over his body. Fortunately, the power was not directed at him.

The high priest’s voice also became much softer, and he seemed to have said something in the end that Ye Xuan could no longer hear clearly.

When the bronze light dissipated, the high priest was no longer on the altar.

Ye Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally dealt with this troublesome person, but he didn’t ignore the humanoid creatures next to him.

They stood silently at the side, their eyes flashing with an unfathomable light as if they were in danger of exploding at any time. It would be difficult to deal with an attack from one of them, let alone so many of them.

In the darkness, in a corner that could not be seen, there were countless of them. He was like a sheep surrounded by wolves.

Ye Xuan wasn’t sure if these humanoid creatures would attack him after he left the altar. After all, the high priest was completely dead.

At this moment, a weak voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

Since the high priest could be sacrificed to death, these humanoid creatures could do the same.

By sacrificing them, one would be able to obtain supreme power!

The voice was filled with a bewitching power that made people want to follow its ideas. When Ye Xuan came back to his senses, he was already standing on the altar.

With a thought, he could sacrifice these humanoid creatures again, just like he had sacrificed the high priest. Not only could he resolve the immediate crisis, but he could also obtain power. Wasn’t it the best of both worlds?

Then sacrifice them!

The voice continued to speak, and the desire that had been suppressed by Ye Xuan began to stir. The red light in his eyes began to flicker, just like in the beginning.

Filled with blood and coldness, Ye Xuan did not have any human characteristics at all. After all, why would a god who was high above care about ants?

That’s right, for the current Ye Xuan, everything was like an ant.

The humanoid creatures didn’t move. They just watched silently from the side, their eyes flashing with an unknown light. They had no facial features, but the expressions they gave people were unexpectedly the same.

They seemed to be looking at Ye Xuan, but they also seemed to be looking at someone through Ye Xuan.

On the other side, Shen Changling and Qian Yuan also noticed the commotion here. When they rushed over, the high priest had disappeared, but Ye Xuan was standing in the middle of the altar, not moving at all. He was in the same state as last time.

The altar looked calm, but it was this kind of calmness that made people feel even more strange. It seemed as though it was the calm before the storm.

Even when the two of them barged in, the humanoid creatures didn’t react at all. They continued staring intently at Ye Xuan.

“Oh no, Elder Ye’s current behavior must be the work of that altar again!”

Qian Yuan and Shen Changling wanted to get closer, but there seemed to be a force blocking their way.
