Chapter 3728: The Ceremony

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fang Heng asked, "Priest Mora, what is the monster sealed beneath the Sea Abyss?"

"I don’t know,"

Priest Mora shook her head and said. "The ancient records are already very vague. We only know that there is an ancient seal beneath the Sea Abyss, and that the sealed Sea Abyss monster is extremely terrifying in strength. However, Her Majesty the Empress is already trying to investigate information related to the sealed abyssal monster. Perhaps she will make some discoveries."

Fang Heng nodded silently.

From the dark aura, the sealed abyssal monster was extremely powerful.

If he forcibly continued to approach and use the god core to accelerate cultivation, once the monster broke out, he would not be confident that he could defeat it.

The risk was too great.

If the god core was destroyed in the process, he would not even have a place to cultivate.

Fang Heng then asked, "Priest Mora, you said before you could help me with the god core advancement ritual?"

Mora understood what he meant.

"Yes. As long as you can gather the ritual requirements, I can assist you in advancing your god core at any time."

"Believers and a ritual magic array?"

"Yes," Mora nodded. "The advancement of the god core requires the power of faith as the central fusion medium. Your god core, after tempering, is already strong enough in my judgment to be upgraded from high-tier to master level. However, the problem is that it is very difficult to cultivate fanatics."

Fang Heng nodded.

"Let’s go."

Mora was stunned for a moment.

"Where to?"

"The world of the vampires."

...

In the world of the vampires.

The teleportation passage opened.

Fang Heng and Mora stepped out of the teleportation hall one after the other.

Several vampire elders belonging to the Elders Council quickly came forward and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Prince of the vampires Buller stepped forward and reported, "Lord Fang Heng, the ritual site has been rearranged according to your requirements. Sixty thousand fanatics have been selected and gathered after approval by the Elders Council. We are ready and waiting at any time to begin the ritual."

The ritual was ready?

Everything was prepared?

And there were sixty thousand of them? That was ten times the six thousand required to condense a high-tier god core?

Was this real?

Could it be that the faith of these so-called fanatics had been inflated?

Mora stood behind Fang Heng, her eyes showing surprise, suppressing her doubts.

"Good job. Lead the way," Fang Heng said.

"Yes!" Buller led everyone out of the vampire temple.

Outside the temple, the square had already been transformed into a ritual area.

The magic array ritual had already been drawn.

Tens of thousands of vampire believers were neatly arranged on both sides of the square.

The moment Fang Heng appeared, all of them knelt on one knee at the same time.

"Your Majesty."

Mora’s pupils shrank sharply.

Fanatics?

All of these were Fang Heng’s fanatics?

In such a short time, he had gathered so many fanatics?

"These..." Mora looked at Fang Heng with a strange tone. "Are all your believers?"

"Yes."

Mora took a deep breath and asked, "Can their faith reach the level of fanatics?"

There was a big difference between believers and fanatics.

Hearing the number sixty thousand at first, Mora suspected these people had been coerced or lured by Fang Heng.

People like that could not even be considered true believers.

Fang Heng did not answer, but instead looked at Buller.

Buller said, "Every fanatic has been carefully selected by the Elders Council. There will be no problem."

"Good that you are confident," Mora said, glancing at the ritual magic array in the hall. "There is no strict standard for fanatics, but the level of faith of every participant will affect the success rate of the ritual."

At least she could confirm that the ritual magic array itself was fine.

They would just have to try it.

Worst case, if their faith was insufficient, the ritual would fail.

Fang Heng said, "In that case, Priest Mora, let’s begin."

"Alright!"

With that, Fang Heng moved and instantly appeared at the center of the ritual magic array in the square.

All participating believers immediately moved according to instructions and stood at their designated positions around the ritual array.

The entire process was extremely orderly, without a single sound except for the synchronized footsteps of tens of thousands of people.

Mora silently praised this.

To be able to coordinate tens of thousands of people without error, and without making a single unnecessary sound, their discipline was extremely high.

They did not look like people who had been forcibly captured.

Mora came to the control area of the ritual magic array and placed both hands on the core of the array.

"Activate!"

She gave a low shout.

Sea race runes spread from her palms, filling the preset gaps.

Blue light gradually illuminated the entire magic array.

Countless points of soft white faith power gathered from all directions of the square and flowed into the center, where Fang Heng was.

Mora’s pupils shrank.

Such pure faith!

They were fanatics!

Even purer than typical fanatics!

With such pure faith, the requirements of the alchemy magic array could be greatly reduced!

In just a few seconds, the dense power of faith formed a layer of frost-white light covering the ritual array.

How had he done this?

Mora stared at the center of the ritual magic array, fixed on Fang Heng.

Every believer’s faith was so pure and so fervent!

It must be known that the sea race typically cultivated fanatics through clan heritage, inheritance, priesthood, and miracles.

Even a hundred years was considered fast.

Sometimes, even ten generations were not enough, requiring the next generation to continue.

This guy!

What kind of magic did he use?

At this moment, Fang Heng was already seated cross-legged at the center of the ritual magic array, fully immersed in the sea of consciousness, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

System notifications quickly appeared one after another.

[Hint: The player is undergoing a god core advancement ritual.]

[Hint: The player’s god core strength is increasing.]

[Hint: The player is condensing the god core.]

Fang Heng sensed that the three forces within his body were simultaneously activated by the ritual.

The violent crimson hell power first merged into the god core, followed by the dark blue undead power attaching to its surface, and finally, the dark golden holy power poured in, instantly clashing violently with the other two forces.

According to the sea race cultivation method, Fang Heng used the power of faith as a stabilizing agent to balance the conflict between the three forces.

The originally fingernail-sized god core rapidly expanded.

At first, everything was fine.

But soon, when the god core reached three times its original size, the stabilizing power of faith reached its limit.

"Boom!!!"

The forces of hell, undead, and holy power instantly collided.

Pain exploded within Fang Heng’s body.

The three forces churned and collided continuously, causing terrifying damage to his body.

Fang Heng clenched his teeth, sweat continuously dripping from his forehead.

It was fine.

He could still endure it!

The undead body effect rapidly repaired his damaged body.

On one side was constant destruction, on the other was desperate regeneration.

Fang Heng forcefully suppressed the pain, maintaining his calm, and continued to follow the god core condensation laws to draw external ritual power of faith into the god core.
