The three of them made their way over to the sacrificial altar and looked down at the man who had been bound by vines and punctured by black rods in his chest and limbs.
An Lin was being carried by the two Gundams, and he turned to the humanoid wolf beside him. "Little Lang, what do we do with these things?"
The humanoid wolf replied with a grave expression, "These ancient black vines are known as Demonic Sealing Vines, and they will automatically contract as long as you burn them. However, I don't know where this black rod came from. It was prepared by the divine leader specifically for this sacrificial offering. "
An Lin relayed the humanoid wolf's words to Mo Hai and Shangguan Yi.
Mo Hai immediately unleashed crimson flames upon hearing this, which burned toward the thick vines.
Sure enough, the vines quickly contracted under the scorching flames before transforming into a ball of vines about ten feet in diameter.
Yang Yuan fell from the sky and was caught by Mo Hai.
Mo Hai unleashed his crimson flames upon the ball of vines again upon seeing Yang Yuan on the brink of death.
The crimson flames whistled through the air, but the ball of vines hurtled back as if it had a life of its own.
Shangguan Yi made a grabbing motion, and a powerful frost intent converged to instantly freeze the ball of vines into a ball of ice.
"This thing is a little strange. Let's take it back to the sect for the elders to study," Shangguan Yi suggested.
Mo Hai didn't say anything as he looked down at the black rod in Yang Yuan's body.
He could sense that the rod was constantly devouring Yang Yuan's life force and had the ability to seal space.
Shangguan Yi made her way over to Yang Yuan and tried to grab onto the rod, but her body was immobilized by an extremely powerful force.
Her brows furrowed tightly as she stared at the black rod with a cold expression. "This is the reason why Yang Yuan can't use his spatial teleportation badge to return to the sect …"
Yang Yuan opened his eyes and forced a smile onto his face. "Thank you for risking your lives to save me, but unfortunately, I won't be able to repay you … The demonic moon has appeared, and this place is very dangerous. You should leave now …"
"Brother Yang Yuan, what are you talking about? If you want to leave, then we'll leave together!" Mo Hai gritted his teeth.
Yang Yuan shook his head lightly. "I can't drag you down any longer. Once the demonic moon disappears, the Myriad Beasts will reappear … Time is of the essence, if you don't leave the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds now, I'll sever my own meridians right now!"
The muscles on Mo Hai's arms bulged as he pulled on the black rod with all his might. His eyes were red as he said, "It wasn't easy to get to this point. I won't abandon you."
A smile appeared on Yang Yuan's face. "Please apologize to Sister Tao Zhi for me after we get out of here …"
He slowly closed his eyes, as if he was going to use the final method.
"Don't be so sentimental. I, An Lin, haven't even made a move. Why have you already decided to give up?" An Lin placed his hand on the black rod, inscribing a complicated array diagram on it.
White lines formed in the air as An Lin desperately circulated his long exhausted Essence Qi.
He tried his best to overcome the after-effects of using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld and forced his Essence Qi to flow through his meridians. His hand trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were bloodshot as blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.
"An Lin, you …" Mo Hai stared at An Lin in shock.
Shangguan Yi's heart also jolted as she stared blankly at An Lin.
Yang Yuan slowly opened his eyes upon hearing a voice to discover a man with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth and a trembling hand inscribing a formation with a smile on his face.
The formation glowed with a brilliant light before merging into the black rod in front of Yang Yuan's chest.
An Lin grabbed onto the rod with one hand before pulling it out with all his might!
"Splat …"
Blood splattered through the air as the rod was pulled out by An Lin.
Mo Hai and Shangguan Yi both faltered upon seeing this.
"You … you did it?" Mo Hai was ecstatic.
Yang Yuan also stared blankly at An Lin as a glimmer of hope welled up in his heart.
"I checked the information in my memory and discovered that it was most likely a Purple Star sacrificial ritual. Looks like I was right, let's continue …" An Lin spoke with a smile on his face.
The fervent light in the humanoid wolf's eyes became even more pronounced. In its eyes, An Lin had become an omnipotent powerful being!
After that, the four metal rods were pulled out one by one by An Lin. His face paled slightly with each rod that was pulled out. He couldn't help but throw up a large mouthful of blood after pulling out the final rod, and his energy had been completely depleted to the point of dizziness.
Mo Hai and Shangguan Yi both clenched their fists as they stared intently at An Lin.
They wouldn't try to persuade An Lin to stop as they could tell from An Lin's expression that he had already made up his mind and wasn't going to stop.
After pulling out the final metal rod, Yang Yuan's vital energy began to circulate again, and a hint of color returned to his pale face. His body had been severely wounded, but at least his life was no longer in danger.
Before An Lin even had a chance to heave a sigh of relief, heaven and earth began to tremor violently again.
A series of gargantuan projections appeared in the sky, all of which exuded extremely powerful auras.
Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the center of the blood-colored full moon in the sky.
An Lin and the others looked up to find that the demonic moon was like an extremely sinister eye that was looking down upon everything in this world.
"We have to get out of here! The entire southern region of the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds is going to become a battlefield for the heroic spirits of the Ancient Man Tribe!" Yang Yuan yelled in a panicked voice.
Boom!
Just as they were speaking, a huge mountain nearby suddenly crumbled, and a rhinoceros several thousand feet tall emerged from within. It raised its head to the sky and roared into the sky, sending shockwaves rippling through the earth within a radius of over a kilometer.
This rhinoceros was extremely powerful. Even though its body was a little illusionary, the aura it exuded made everyone's heart thump in fear.
This was only the beginning. At this moment, a series of bottomless cracks began to appear on the ground below.
Sky-devouring pythons, centipedes that were thousands of feet long, scorpions shrouded in poisonous mist, and some strange ancient beasts crawled out of the cracks and appeared on the land that was enveloped by the crimson moonlight.
In the sky above, a series of flying mutant beasts began to tear at one another. There were wyrms soaring through the clouds, skeletal birds with bodies as sharp as swords, huge falcons flashing with lightning … Energy clashed, transforming the entire sky into a blood-stained battlefield of carnage.
An indescribable sorrowful wail erupted between heaven and earth, and all four of them were struck by a series of peculiar hallucinations.
"Use your teleportation badges to return to the Vermilion Bird Sect immediately!" Yang Yuan yelled.
An Lin, Mo Hai, and Shangguan Yi all pulled out their red badges before exchanging a glance with one another before activating them!
An Lin stowed the two Gundams into his storage ring before thinking about it for a moment before stowing the five Immortal Sacrificial Instruments into his storage ring as well.
All four of their Vermilion Bird badges began to glow with a dazzling light as a teleportation spell formation appeared beneath their feet.
At this moment, an ancient mutant beast with two heads, six legs, and a mace in its hand discovered An Lin and the others, and it let loose an enraged roar as it charged toward An Lin and the others!
This mutant beast was over a kilometer tall, and each and every step it took caused the ground to tremor violently. Its aura was as vast as the sea, and it was extremely terrifying.
The White-Scaled Wolf God's legs gave out from under him at the sight of the ancient mutant beast, and he immediately rushed toward An Lin before wrapping his arms around An Lin with tears streaming down his face. "Master, don't abandon Little Wolf, Little Wolf doesn't want to die … waah …"
An Lin looked at the humanoid wolf with a resigned expression. "But this teleportation badge seems to only be able to teleport me out."
"Waah … I don't care, I'm following you no matter what, don't go!" The humanoid wolf sobbed like a little puppy as he tugged at An Lin's clothes relentlessly.
At this moment, the ancient mutant beast had already reached them, and its mace was like a small mountain crashing down upon them …
The teleportation spell formation glowed brightly, and An Lin and the others disappeared on the spot.
"Boom!"
The mace created a massive crater in the ground within a radius of several hundred meters as an earth-shattering boom erupted!
