A building Life Palace was a common one. In fact, in the current cultivation system, most of the imperial-level powerhouses built their Life Palaces in the form of buildings.
Most people's Life Palaces were in the form of pavilions, towers, and palaces. Most of the Life Palaces were in the form of buildings.
Since there were more Life Palaces, people would compete with each other to see whose palace was better. As time went by, the palaces that they built were more luxurious than the previous one. Some of them were even comparable to the Royal Palace and were nicknamed the Imperial Palace. As time went by, people got used to calling this combat level imperial-level.
Lin Huang had heard about the Life Palace from Mr. Fu before.
Most of the Life Palaces in the form of towers had a suppressive effect.
Some of the Totem buildings had a summoning effect.
The functions of the Life Palace were usually more complicated. Some of them had the ability to store space and raise troops. Some of them had a suppressive effect while some of them could be transported like a spaceship …
As for the Life Palace that was an altar, Mr. Fu had never mentioned it before. It was Lin Huang's first time seeing one.
However, he felt that it was an ominous thing to look at at first glance.
It gave Lin Huang the same feeling as when the skinless monster had revealed its true form not long ago.
Seeing the skinless monster slit its wrist and offering its blood to something, Lin Huang felt more and more uneasy.
Under the control of his imperial-level Divine Telekinesis, an ancient flying dagger relic was shot towards the direction of the skinless monster. He wanted to interrupt its sacrificial ritual.
However, they were blocked by an invisible defense layer tens of meters away from the skinless monster. The flying daggers were deflected aside.
Lin Huang frowned and immediately controlled more flying daggers to surround the skinless monster and the altar on top of its head, trying to find a loophole.
Lin Huang activated his ocular skill and observed carefully. However, he could not find a loophole. The defense layer was like an invisible eggshell that covered the skinless monster and the altar on top of its head. There was no loophole at all.
He tried to attack with his flying daggers a few times but it was futile. Lin Huang decided not to waste his energy anymore.
Although he didn't know what would happen after the ritual, Lin Huang could only wait patiently.
After a while, the skinless monster's sacrificial ritual was finally completed.
At the center of the altar, the eyes of the golden skull shot out two beams of red light, as if it had just woken up from a deep sleep.
Lin Huang felt an extremely powerful aura descend upon the center of the altar. The aura was hundreds of times stronger than the aura of the skinless monster.
He could not help but tighten his grip on the demigod battle sword relic in his hand. His face was filled with vigilance as he watched what might happen at the altar.
In the center of the altar, the sacred-blood skull opened its eyes and looked at the skinless monster. After looking at it for a while, the skull began to speak. "Little guy, I smell the smell of the old witch, the painted skin, on you …"
"Sir, our Master God is indeed Lord Painted Skin." The skinless monster bowed slightly and didn't dare to be disrespectful. Those who dared to call their Divine Master like that were True Gods who were as powerful as the Divine Master. Even if they were not as powerful as the Divine Master, they were not too far apart.
"Don't worry. I don't have much contact with your old witch, but we don't have any conflicts. I won't break my promise with you. Your Life Palace's function is quite unique as it can even guide my consciousness here … Tell me, what kind of deal do you want to make with me? "
"What do I need to do to elevate to demigod-level?"
"Three supreme-grade demigod relics," the skull said slowly. "If it's just a temporary upgrade, one supreme-grade demigod relic would be enough."
Although the skinless monster knew that it would have to pay a high price, it did not expect the skull to ask for such a high price.
"Then … How about elevating to purple gold-rank?" It did not argue with the skull. Instead, it asked for a new deal.
"Permanent upgrade, one supreme-grade demigod relic. Temporary upgrade, one expert-grade demigod relic. "
If the skinless monster had eyebrows, it would definitely be frowning at that moment. However, the corner of its mouth was curled down.
"I don't have any expert-grade demigod relic …"
"There's a time limit for a temporary upgrade. The price of an expert-grade demigod relic is for you to stay at purple gold-rank for three days. If you only need three hours to elevate your combat strength, one intermediate-grade demigod relic would be enough. If it's ten minutes, it'll be a beginner-grade demigod relic. "
"A beginner-grade demigod relic for ten minutes …" No matter how one looked at it, it was a bad deal. However, the skinless monster had no other choice. After a moment of silence, it eventually nodded in agreement.
"I'll trade!"
It then took out a beginner-grade demigod relic from its storage space and passed it to the skull.
The skull opened its mouth and sucked. The beginner-grade demigod relic turned into a beam of light and disappeared into its mouth.
At that moment, the skull opened its mouth again and shot a beam of black light at the skinless monster. It then entered between its brows.
The skinless monster's aura skyrocketed. In less than two breaths, it broke through to yellow gold-rank. After entering white gold-rank, its combat strength continued to skyrocket. Soon, it broke through again and leveled up to imperial-level rank-5 – purple gold-rank.
Its combat strength skyrocketed all the way to the peak of purple gold-rank before stopping.
The skinless monster felt that its body was filled with power. It was invincible.
Not far away, Lin Huang witnessed what happened with his own eyes.
Although he could not hear the conversation between the skull and the skinless monster, he saw that the skinless monster had given the skull a demigod relic. Subsequently, the skull shot a beam of black light at it. After that, its combat strength skyrocketed all the way to purple gold-rank.
Lin Huang's expression was extremely grave.
At that moment, the skull suddenly turned its head and looked at Lin Huang.
It did not move its gaze away. Instead, it fixed its gaze on Lin Huang and looked away after sizing him up.
It then turned around and said to the skinless monster.
"That kid won't die today."
"What?" The skinless monster was stunned to hear that.
"I said that the human kid that you want to kill won't die today. There's no aura of death on him at all. Even if you asked me to help you level up to demigod-level, you won't be able to kill him." The skull suddenly said something strange. "Your Life Palace is interesting. It'll be a pity if you die. Let me give you a piece of advice. You're surrounded by an aura of death and it's getting denser. It's very likely that you'll die here today. You might be able to survive if you leave this place as soon as possible … "
As soon as he finished speaking, before the skinless monster could ask anything else, the two rays of red light in the eye sockets of the skull in the middle of the altar quickly dissipated and disappeared. It was as if nothing had happened.
