One more catty, one more attribute point

His body weight also increased by about twenty thousand tons.

And the Sun Furnace within his body and thousands of nuclear reactors allowed him to unleash immeasurable destructive power with every movement.

This is only the first level of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, yet his life level has been elevated to such a tier.

In this vast world.

Su Heng now carries a hint of the flavor of being undefeated in his solitude.

Previously, Shi Teng was a well-known expert, yet even without Su Heng's full effort, he could still pin him to the ground and rub him in the dirt.

Now, the only threats to him might be the legendary Heavenly Dominator Dragon, the Descenders, and the battleship crafted by the Demon Descendants at their peak.

Then, there are some ancient existences in the Immortal Heavens.

Hiss!

As the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill operated.

All the sinews in Su Heng's body resonated as his stature swiftly shrank.

Pang Xuan said, "I will lead the way ahead."

"No need." Su Heng shook his head, then grabbed his arm.

As his stature increased, his spiritual power also rose correspondingly, making Divine Movement increasingly effortless for him.

Even carrying one person posed no difficulty.

Woosh!

With several flashes of the scene.

Su Heng had already crossed half the distance of the Blood Realm, returning to Mount Tambora.

Boom!

Just arriving here.

A scent mixed with gunpowder and dust hit him head-on.

Bursts of hot wind swept across his face, ruffling his hair, at the pitch-black summit of the volcano, several giants were struggling to set up large drums. The sound of the drums, mixed with thunder, traveled a great distance. Around the volcano, there were newly established urban areas with many people who all came out onto the streets and squares outside, looking up with curiosity.

Su Heng stroked his chin.

With one step forward, he immediately arrived at the top of the volcano.

Hundreds of Dragon Guards dressed in Golden Armor and holding Long Spears stood upright.

Lined up along the carved stairs in a ceremonial corridor, their facial muscles tensed.

And below, the temple had roughly taken shape through the tireless work of the Flame Giants, built with Xuanwu Heavy Rock. The base was black, the column entwined with dragons, and the arches adorned with glazed tiles and jewels. A huge and fierce sculpture of Su Heng cast a shadow, worshipped on the central platform of the temple.

Su Heng withdrew his gaze.

At the end of the corridor was a table set up for ritual offerings.

Normally, for rituals honoring heaven and earth, the highest offerings would be dragon, phoenix, and qilin.

Of course, that was impossible.

Even now, with Su Heng's tremendous abilities, it was impossible to capture three Divine Beasts long vanished; moreover, the Blood Realm was not worthy of such high-level offerings.

However, to ensure the success rate of this transformation.

Three Demon Gods that looked somewhat similar could still be found with a bit of effort.

Three blood-drenched heads, each over ten meters in diameter, with bloodshot eyes and a scarlet evil aura rising like signal smoke.

The flames in the Taibola Volcano behind roared, bubbling.

Like a famished gourmand eyeing the feast on the table, a particularly ravenous emotion emanated.

The rhythmic drumbeats emanated from the surrounding void, culminating in a thunderous noise at its peak, and lightning flickered, the sound abruptly stopping there.

Bang!

The ground shook violently.

Mount Tambora erupted in a minor event again, leaving a trail of flickering flames atop.

Following that, Ming Daoist walked slowly alongside Li Hongxiu.

Among the master and disciple.

Ming Daoist still wore his snow-white robes.

While Li Hongxiu was clearly carefully dressed.

She wore a moon-white silk robe with broad sleeves dangling in front of her body as her hands crossed. Around her waist was a cherry-colored tasseled belt outlining her slender waist's curves. Additionally, her wrists, neck, and ankles all featured jade and crystal ornaments that jingled as she walked, like the wind chimes hanging under the eaves in a bamboo courtyard.

Li Hongxiu's expression was calm, with light makeup on her face and a touch of vermilion between her eyebrows.

Upon seeing Su Heng, Li Hongxiu stopped and bowed slightly towards him.

"If you want to back out, now is still the time," Su Heng glanced over her and then spoke softly.

Li Hongxiu merely smiled, responding in an equally soft voice, "I'm ready."

Su Heng chose not to persuade her further.

His gaze fell on the Ming Daoist nearby. "Can we start now?"

The Ming Daoist nodded and then sought Li Hongxiu's opinion as well.

Once everything was arranged.

The previously paused drumming sound picked up again, but this time it carried a more solemn and respectful tone. Every beat of the drum by the Flame Giants was accompanied by a slight tremor underfoot, with black gravel hanging mid-air.

The three Dragon Guards, already well-rehearsed, quickly stepped forward following a signal from the Ming Daoist.

They stabbed their long spears into the base of the offering, and then, with a forceful push downwards, the heads of the three Demon Gods rolled down along the inner wall of the volcano into the boiling magma.

Plop!

Three muffled sounds almost simultaneously followed.

Temporarily subdued under Su Heng's will, the Taibola Volcano started to shake violently.

Large cracks spread underfoot, and the smell of gunpowder and sulfur burst forth, followed by a sharp beep, then a surge of golden-red waves of fire.

Fiery light cast reflections on Li Hongxiu's moon-white robe and her delicate, soft face.

She took a deep breath.

Finally, she looked at Su Heng one last time and without hesitation, turned around.

She dashed forward, her pale ankles under her long dress fluttering like a deer through fire, with the sound of jingling bells, then forcefully leaped forward, arms spread, her whole body melding into the raging flames.

Boom!

There was a brief silence.

Then the volcano erupted with unprecedented ferocity.

As large clouds of dust stirred, rocks around the crater exploded outward like blooming reeds.

Swoosh!

Su Heng raised his hand.

A hurricane-like sweep of spiritual power rushed through the void.

The shattered rocks suspended mid-air and after a short wobble, the Flame Giants steadied themselves and began to drum even more vigorously.

Lava erupted, and a pillar of golden-red fire soared skyward.

Thick clouds rolled in the sky, tinged with dark red.

Continuous streams of solidified magma and silver-white electric light fell from the sky, while at the same time, a powerful Will swept outwards, lightly brushing over everyone's hearts.

Su Heng sensed something and looked back, "Li Hongxiu?"

After a moment of waiting.

From the empty void, a familiar, light voice suddenly came, "I'm here."

...

...

...

The ritual ended.

Su Heng and the Ming Daoist entered the newly completed temple.

Looking up at the sculpture in front of them, Su Heng commented, "Those Flame Giants might be a bit dumb, but their craftsmanship is decent, worth sparing their lives."

"This hall is still somewhat empty." Su Heng said, "I plan to place your statues up there; what do you think?"

The Ming Daoist fell silent for a moment, "If that is your wish…"

"That's an agreement then."

Su Heng quietly changed the topic, "I felt a part of Li Hongxiu's will earlier; it seems the ritual was successful."

"It seems that this child holds a non-trivial place in your eyes," the Ming Daoist chuckled.

"After all, she was one of the first to follow me." A smile appeared on Su Heng's face as he casually shrugged his shoulders.

"The most precarious part is now over, but we still cannot afford to be careless. The forming World Will might encounter external contamination, though the chances are slim, we ought to be prepared."

"I understand," Su Heng nodded.

At that moment, footsteps approached, and a Dragon Guard came before him.

The Ming Daoist signaled to Su Heng then stepped back, disappearing into a solid blackness.

As a bolt of lightning exploded outside, seen through the large window, half of Su Heng's body was enveloped in ghastly electric light. In the empty hall, he asked, "What has happened?"

"Ji Huaxi has awakened," the Dragon Guard reported succinctly.
