Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 256: Chapter 135: Breakthrough, Tier Six Peak!

David’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly urged his Spiritual Power to suppress the urge to approach the Blood Stone.

In the field, the ritual continued.

The new High Priest stepped forward and handed a beautifully carved knife to the Barbarian Leader.

"Use your blood to awaken your power and connect with the Master of the Wilderness," the High Priest said softly.

The Red Sand Leader took the knife and, without any hesitation, cut his palm, letting the bright red blood drip onto the Blood Stone that glimmered with a dark red light.

Next came the other Barbarian Leaders.

Then the Barbarian Warriors, and finally the ordinary people of the Barbarian Race.

Everyone’s blood dripped into the Blood Stone, intensifying the energy contained within it.

David could feel the urge to approach growing stronger, with the Blood Stone resonating constantly with the Barbarian Bloodline within his body!

Suddenly, the Earth shook slightly.

As the Blood Stone absorbed all the barbarians’ blood, this ritual entered its most crucial phase.

The Priest recited ancient spells loudly, and the Barbarian Warriors once again chanted songs of praise to the Master of the Wilderness in unison.

Boom!

A burst of blood-red light shot into the sky.

Suddenly, the entire world turned blood-red.

With the sacrificial ritual underway, the Master of the Wilderness began responding to the barbarians’ prayers and sacrifices!

Next, the blood light poured down from the sky, enveloping the entire tribe, bathing everyone in the blood light.

The Master of the Wilderness began bestowing blessings; they could feel their bodies becoming stronger, their minds clearer, and even their spirits seemed to undergo cleansing and rebirth.

"Thank you, Master of the Wilderness!"

The High Priest shouted, and the crowd erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

However, amidst the cheers, only David felt a peculiar change within himself.

This made him realize that, with the Heart of Sacrifice, he seemed to enhance the sacrificial effects for the Master of the Wilderness, thereby acquiring even more powerful Sacrificial Power!

Moreover, his perception of the Master of the Wilderness was far stronger than that of the barbarians.

Relying on his tremendous Spiritual Power, he seemed to see a vast and endless wilderness, where ancient and mysterious powers flowed through the land.

The Earth was dotted with towering monoliths and strange vegetation, and a massive and dazzling blood-red orb hung in the sky, like a blood-colored sun!

David felt as though he was traversing time and space, standing in this enigmatic wilderness.

He could feel the vibrations transmitted by the Earth beneath his feet, as if a will was calling him.

The Barbarian Bloodline within him was wholly activated, resonating on a deeper level with the surrounding environment.

"Is this...the Master of the Wilderness?"

David muttered to himself, realizing that he was forming some kind of connection with this ancient deity through the ritual.

At this moment, a commanding and immense voice echoed in his ears: "Mortal, why have you stepped into my domain?"

David’s heart jolted, as if the voice had struck directly at the depths of his soul.

"Master of the Wilderness!"

He was suddenly startled.

The Master of the Wilderness still had consciousness and had now established a spiritual link with him!

The voice fell silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Indeed, you carry pure Barbarian Bloodline and also possess extraordinary Spiritual Power."

"Interesting, truly interesting."

As the Master of the Wilderness’s voice faded, David’s Extraordinary Perception suddenly sensed a crisis.

In the next moment, he forcefully urged his Spiritual Power, attempting to sever this spiritual connection.

But in an instant, a surge of blood-red light flooded in from all directions!

David felt the blood-red light engulf his entire body, flooding into his consciousness like a wrathful tide, attempting to tear apart his mental defenses!

Instinctively, he exerted all his strength to mobilize his Spiritual Power to resist.

But the force was too domineering and powerful, completely overwhelming him, leaving him with no power to resist.

"What does the Master of the Wilderness want?"

David cried out in his mind, unsure if this sudden surge of energy was a blessing or something else.

Gradually, he realized his consciousness was beginning to merge with the wilderness.

He felt insignificantly small, yet closely connected to this land, with every entity seeming to convey some message to him.

David’s consciousness wavered.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a sea of blood-red light.

Before him appeared a Blood Shadow identical to his own form, exuding a terrifying Barbarian Bloodline aura!

"Is this...my Barbarian Bloodline?"

David’s heart tightened, sensing that this Barbarian Bloodline had slipped from his control.

"Surrender!"

"I am the progenitor of all barbarians."

"No descendent of the barbarians can resist my power!"

The commanding and immense voice once more echoed in David’s ears, bearing irresistible force.

David felt his consciousness being gradually eroded; the Blood Shadow was continuously siphoning his strength, attempting to completely devour him.

"I cannot let it succeed!"

David’s heart jolted. He understood that if he lost control over his bloodline and body, his consciousness would be entirely devoured, becoming a puppet of the Master of the Wilderness.

He exerted all his might to mobilize every ounce of Spiritual Power to regain control of the Barbarian Bloodline, only to find it utterly futile.

The Master of the Wilderness held absolute Commanding Power over the Barbarian Bloodline!
