Book of Disaster

"clang!"

A clear and melodious sound of bells and chimes was heard, resounding throughout the entire Wuhun Valley. The princes who were originally chatting and laughing immediately stopped whispering, their expressions became solemn and dignified, and they all looked in the direction of the altar.

The layout of Wuhun Valley is very clear.

It was also at this time that Bai Qi realized that this bastard Zhou Yixian had his own martial spirit, and the ceremony location was not in the same place as his.

While I was still trying to find a way to obtain a martial soul, he came here to upgrade his martial soul.

"This damn fat guy!"

Bai Qi was envious and jealous, but there was nothing he could do.

However, Bai Qi soon had no time to think about it——

"The martial spirit awakening ceremony officially begins!"

On the high stands, under the gaze of all the princes, an official from the Ministry of Rites in a bright red robe stepped out and said in a loud voice:

"Sacrificing to Heaven!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the earth suddenly shook violently.

"It's a spirit hunter!"

Someone in the crowd said.

The next moment, Bai Qi immediately saw the direction of the vibration. A burly figure walked briskly from far away, coming towards the direction of the altar.

He was a well-built man. Even in this cold month of the New Year, he still had his chest exposed. His muscles were as solid as copper and iron, giving people a sense of great power.

But what caught Bai Qi's attention at first was not the man, but the huge monster he was holding on his head.

This is an octopus-like monster, its body is as big as a hill, its whole body is a deathly gray color, and it is motionless. Its many huge and thick tentacles are covered with suction cups and barbs, hanging down on the edge.

There is no hair on its body, just like human skin. Not only that, its body is wet and mucus keeps dripping down, giving people a very disgusting and sticky feeling.

Although it was motionless, Bai Qi could still feel that this octopus-like monster was only in a dying state, and there was still extremely terrifying and powerful destructive power in its huge body as big as a hill.

What made Bai Qi feel weird was that this octopus-like monster had densely packed eyes on its head, but all the eyes were covered with some special black cloth and tied tightly, so one could only judge that they were eyes by their bulging parts.

not only that--

"dizzy!"

Bai Qi only looked at it for a moment, and he felt dizzy, his eyes were swollen, and even his thoughts were a little confused, as if he was drunk, as if something was messing with his thinking.

It was not until this time that Bai Qi noticed something strange and discovered that even the void around the octopus-like monster's body was distorted. It looked hazy from a distance, as if it was shrouded in a layer of steam.

"What it is?"

Bai Qi muttered to himself and couldn't help but say.

He has been in this world for some time, and this is the first time he has encountered such a strange monster. It doesn't look like a creature from the human world at all.

"Tsk, I don't even know that. This is a monster from the New World. It naturally looks different from the creatures in our Yuan Dynasty."

At this moment, a boastful voice came from the side, and actually took over Bai Qi's words.

The boastful prince had a childish face and looked no more than thirteen years old, a complete brat. Bai Qi did not care about his tone and asked in astonishment:

"New world?"

It was the first time he knew that there was a "new world" outside this world, which immediately aroused Bai Qi's strong curiosity.

"Humph, trash is trash, he knows nothing."

The young man was obviously well aware of Bai Qi, the "shame of the Bai family", and said sarcastically:

"Sacrifices must have offerings. This is a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Many princes in the capital have awakened their martial spirits. How could they be ordinary livestock like chickens, ducks, cows and sheep? Only monsters from the new world can meet this requirement."

"The new world was not originally from this world. It fell from the sky and crashed here. There is a huge gap between it and our human world. It is full of dangers. Unless you have the cultivation of a quasi-martial saint, it is difficult to pass through. However, the vitality and souls of the creatures born there are unusually strong. They are the most perfect sacrifices for awakening martial souls and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth."

"The man you just saw is a spirit hunter. They hunt and deliver the sacrifices for the court's annual rituals."

The young man stretched out his hand and pointed at the man in the distance.

"Hua Shao is really amazing, Hua Shao is really great, he is very knowledgeable and even knows this."

"We are so far behind Master Hua. In this martial soul awakening ceremony, Master Hua will definitely get what he wants and obtain the martial soul."

……

A group of princes around immediately flattered and praised him.

Bai Qi just laughed secretly when he heard this. Hua Shao, who was being praised by everyone, immediately raised his head and looked very pleased when he heard the praises.

"Since you know everything, let me ask you, what is the black cloth covering the monster's eyes for? Isn't it unnecessary?"

Bai Qi asked again.

Hua Shao seemed not to have expected Bai Qi to ask such a question and was stunned.

"Tsk, little brat, I really thought you knew that."

Bai Qi provoked.

"Nonsense, who said I don't know!"

Hua Shao was also a straightforward person. After being provoked by Bai Qi, he couldn't help himself:

"These monsters from the new world are all secret. The places where they live are extremely dangerous and few people can go there. I also heard from my family secretly that these monsters from the new world are very powerful. They have many hands, heads, feet, and eyes. And for some reason, these monsters have a special ability. You can't look them in the eye directly. It is said that they can suck away people's souls."

"Once, a Martial Saint with a third-level Martial Soul made eye contact with this monster, and his soul was immediately sucked out. His entire body became confused, and only an empty shell remained. It is said that his physical body is still fighting against the void in the New World."

"Remember this, when you perform the martial spirit awakening ceremony later, try not to look at the monster if you can."

Hua Shao said with an "experienced" look on his face, but when he talked about the legendary story and the horror of this new world monster, Hua Shao still seemed to be frightened.

There were exclamations all around, and people were obviously frightened by what he said.

Bai Qi frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the bare-chested spirit hunter in the distance threw the new world monster above his head heavily onto the huge altar. Chanting suddenly sounded around, as if chanting some ancient spell, and the void around the altar immediately became distorted.

Afterwards, a man who looked like an imperial teacher and the Minister of Rites walked up to the altar.

The two men read out two prayers respectively. One was written in the language of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the prayer of the Yuan Emperor to heaven and earth, and the other was an ancient prayer passed down from ancient times.

When the two prayers were read, there was a loud bang. A pillar of light suddenly burst out from under the altar and pierced through the body of the new world monster.
