After appearing on the altar of the hieron's hall once again, the demon baron's brain turned blank for a few seconds. Closely after that, it started to struggle and twist its body in the exoskeleton semi-automatic imprisonment cabin which fixed it on the altar.
As its qi sea was broken, it couldn't run its battle qi; additionally, its tendons and bones were broken. Therefore, the demon baron could only twist its body. However, even though there were firm metal shackles on its body, shoulders, waist and neck, how could it destroy this set of equipment that Edward had meticulously prepared for it by twisting its body muscles? As for the demon baron, this set of equipment was like locking a cat with a tiger's shackle. Its struggle and twist were just like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Zhang Tie was summoning teams of demon fighters, whose lowest level was LV 9 while the highest was LV 15. After being summoned by Zhang Tie, the teams of demon fighters started to line up tidily in the spacious hieron's hall in neat steps.
Not until over 1,800 demon fighters filled up the hieron's hall did Zhang Tie stop. He turned around and watched the demon baron which was twisting its body painfully like a worm.
The demon baron widely opened its bloody eyes and glared at Zhang Tie and the demon corps which were constantly appearing in the hieron's hall out of the void.
What happened in front of it shocked it too much. As for those who saw this scene for the first time, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a God's will.
"Wuu wuu wuu..." The demon baron's mouth was covered with a bridle, which was deeply inserted into its mouth. As a result, the demon baron couldn't even utter a word; instead, it could only make weird sounds while drooling.
A dignified earth demon knight, who could dominate a region on a subcontinent, was actually pitiful because of Zhang Tie's current look. "Zhang Tie thought.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile. Of course, he would not sympathize with the demon baron. He just felt that the demon baron wanted to say something. Therefore, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy and opened the metal gag on the demon baron's mouth...
"Who are you... who the hell are you..." The demon baron roared at its full effort.
The demon baron had been suppressing this sentence for over 10 days.
"Hohoho, don't shout so loudly. What's the old saying? Nobody would care about you even if you shout yourself hoarse!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "If that's all you want to say, you can shut up!"
Closely after Zhang Tie's words, the metal gag automatically floated up and was going to plug the demon baron's mouth once again.
"What do you want to do... what do you want to do with me..."
The demon baron uttered its second sentence.
Not knowing whether it had been suppressing for a long time, the demon baron would always repeat the same sentence as long as it had a chance. Zhang Tie also noticed this detail as he burst out into laughter, "Have you heard about taking gall from a live bear? It's one of the cruelest things that humans did to animals before the Catastrophe. I'm very responsible to tell you that from today on, you're my live bear. Your gall is your earth chakra..."
After saying this, before the demon baron uttered anything, Zhang Tie had already plugged the metal gag into the demon baron's mouth once again. As a result, the demon baron could not utter a word anymore; instead, it could only struggle helplessly.
It was a very cruel thing to take gall from a live bear. Zhang Tie had seen the relevant records and pictures before the Catastrophe when he was in Hidden Dragon Island. In those records and pictures, some bears couldn't stand the living gall supply machine; therefore, they committed suicide by scratching their bellies and chests; some female bears didn't want their cubs to live such a miserable life; therefore, they killed their cubs...
Those live bears whose gall had been taken were gazing at the visitors with tears in desperation through the iron windows. Even cold-hearted people would feel sad at the sight of that.
If Zhang Tie was really facing a bear or another animal, Zhang Tie would never treat an animal in such a cruel way; however, it was different for demons. If demons won the holy war, all the humans would become fire bears that were reared by demons. Tens of thousands of bloody slaves in the territory of Three-eye Association were also "live bears" being reared by demons and Three-eye Association. Zhang Tie didn't feel guilty at all for treating demons in the same way that demons treated humans.
...
"I would like to sacrifice enough lives and fresh blood to recover the severely damaged and collapsed earth chakra of the demon baron on the sacrificial altar."
After putting the Mo baron in the middle of the sacrificial altar, Zhang Tie got off the sacrificial altar and raised his head to communicate with the joss using his consciousness.
The tall joss overlooked the sacrificial altar while the eye in the middle of its forehead slowly lit up and released a luster, covering the demon baron.
"There are many wounds on the body of the demon on the sacrificial altar. Are you sure that this sacrificial offering will only restore his earth chakra instead of other wounds?"
A spiritual wave appeared in Zhang Tie's mind.
"Yes, only recover his earth chakra. Leave the other wounds alone!"
"Fine, only recover his earth chakra. Leave the other wounds alone. The effect of its recovery depends on the quality of the bloody sacrifice. If the bloody sacrifice is interrupted, the effect of its recovery will be interrupted!"
...
At this moment, Zhang Tie had confirmed that this hieron palace was not for the deity, but for the joss in front of him. Precisely, it was for this super machine which was hard to understand.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Tie didn't feel that the ability of this joss had anything to do with the deity. All the secrets were in the body of the joss. This joss was the crystallization of far-ancient civilization. Given the complex runes on the sacrificial altar and the bloody sacrifice furnace, Zhang Tie knew that.
This statue was a machine that could transform the energy and vitality of life between different lives.
Additionally, very few similar hieron palaces had been discovered in the Earth-elements Realm. This might be the second bloody sacrifice hieron that humans discovered after bloody soul temple. Therefore, humans didn't know too much about this hieron palace; neither did they know that there was such a machine in this hieron palace.
Without the experience in Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie might be scared and associate everything in front of him with ghosts and deities. However, with Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie found that the communication process between him and this joss was similar to that between him and Castle of Black Iron. Even the "frequency" of their spiritual and consciousness communication was very similar. In the perspective of human civilization before the Catastrophe, there was a very advanced artificial intelligence which was still working in Castle of Black Iron and this joss. This artificial intelligence communicated with the outside world completely by spiritual energy. The blood that Zhang Tie dripped on the sacrificial altar helped it identify the identity of the communicator.
When Zhang Tie integrated Castle of Black Iron, he also dripped his blood on it by mistake.
...
After communicating with the joss, Zhang Tie waved his hand. Closely after that, all the demon fighters who had been waiting in the hieron palace jumped into the bloody sacrifice furnace which was burning black flames one after another.
The bloody sacrifice furnace was like a black hole with black flames, which constantly devoured those demon fighters that jumped into it.
When a demon fighter jumped into the bloody sacrifice furnace, his entire body had been burning black flames in a split second. In the blink of an eye, he had been vaporized and disappeared...
As demon fighters "bravely" jumped into the bloody sacrifice furnace one after another, the eye on the forehead of the huge joss gradually gave out a dazzling red light, which was as red as blood. It gradually covered all the demon knights on the sacrificial altar. As a result, people outside the sacrificial altar could not see clearly what was happening inside the red light at all. They could only sense the strong vitality and wave from the red light.
The bloody sacrifice furnace was like a bottomless ravine. No matter how many demon fighters jumped into it, the entire bloody sacrifice furnace seemed to contain them all.
Watching such a streamlined scene, even Zhang Tie's face turned pale as his heart pounded for a short while.
As demon fighters were sacrificed one after another, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and constantly summoned more demon fighters to join the sacrificial altar.
100... 200... 500... 1,000... 1,500... 2,000... 2,417...
After four hours, a drop of sweat appeared on Zhang Tie's forehead...
'F * ck, does this father not want to recover his earth chakra even after sacrificing the entire demon corps? If so, it would be a big joke! '
Zhang Tie thought inside...
Finally, after the 2,417th demon fighter jumped into the bloody sacrifice furnace, the red light on the sacrificial altar turned green.
The red light on the sacrificial altar turned green and finally turned into a thin light beam. After staying on the chest of the demon baron for a few seconds, it disappeared. Zhang Tie then raised his hand to stop those demon fighters from jumping into the bloody sacrifice furnace.
In the entire hall, besides the wide-open bloody sacrifice furnace and the silent demon fighters, it seemed that nothing had happened. The 2,417 demon fighters above LV 9 who could overturn a country on a subcontinent disappeared like a broken bubble, leaving no trace at all.
The bloody sacrifice ceremony was icy and cruel.
At this moment, a spiritual wave appeared in Zhang Tie's mind sea — — "The earth chakra of the demon baron on the sacrificial altar has been healed. Due to the particularity of its earth chakra, it could completely recover in 1 month!"
Soon after the words, even the red light in the eye on the forehead of the joss completely dimmed...
Zhang Tie walked to the sacrificial altar. Under the trembling and fearful eyes of the demon baron, Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and touched the demon baron's head as he sensed the situation of the demon baron's earth chakra seriously.
The 90% of the demon baron's earth chakra had been healed. Although the repaired earth chakra had not been fully formed, a mysterious and complete halo had already appeared. A great amount of earth elements were pouring out of the halo out of the void and gradually mending the demon baron's earth chakra...
The whole process would take 1 month...
That was to say, Zhang Tie could take the "bear gall" of the demon baron every month. Plus the time needed to digest the bear gall, Zhang Tie would promote to an earth knight after 15 bloody sacrifices in 2 years...
It was Zhang Tie's first time to feel that the unreachable earth knight was waving at him; additionally, it was already in front of him...
