Chapter 32: Totem from the Womb

Desolate, born from the filth between heaven and earth. Formless and imageless, ignorant and unconscious. From the day of birth, it will devour the essence and vitality of the world. As time goes by, its power grows, its body expands rapidly, and its appetite grows larger and larger. In the infinite, it can swallow a realm.

Lu Fan was the master of a realm in his previous life. In the realm under his command, a Desolate Beast was once born. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and Lu Fan killed it in time, saving the fate of a realm.

Thinking about it now, the dangerous situation of that year flooded his mind again, vivid in his eyes, thinking about it was a shocking thing.

The aura revealed on the array in front of him was indeed the aura of Desolate, Lu Fan would never be wrong about this.

"Desolate? What is this thing? Young Master Lu, do you know it?"

Xiulan was slightly stunned, she was hearing the word "Desolate" for the first time. Lu Fan's appearance must have seen some mystery, which made her curious.

Seeing Lu Fan's performance, Gui Xiansheng and Zhu Ge Qing Ming were also puzzled, both curious, staring at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan shook his head slightly, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and said slowly: "This altar has been here for some years, when did your Skull Society discover it?"

Xiulan was slightly stunned, turned to look at Gui Xiansheng, and after getting the other party's consent, said leisurely: "This altar was discovered by the Great Elder of the Skull Society three hundred years ago. There was no mystery at the time, it was only in the last few decades that some weirdness appeared..."

She was about to describe it in detail, but was interrupted by Lu Fan again, "You are bold enough to touch such ancient evil things! Recently, many people should have come here, but they all disappeared for no reason and never appeared again!"

Lu Fan said it casually, sounding like a guess, but Xiulan and Gui Xiansheng were shocked, their faces changed, staring at the other party blankly.

Such things were the secrets of the Skull Society, Lu Fan actually deduced it from just a few clues, which was beyond their imagination.

"Does Young Master Lu know what is going on?" Gui Xiansheng's spirit was greatly boosted, only thinking that his previous consideration was correct, maybe Lu Fan was really the opportunity for their Skull Society to rise.

Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and laughed lightly: "You invited me here, not to ask about these unimportant things, right? The Sacrificial Grand Ceremony is the focus!"

The light words had no weight. Those who disappeared for no reason were just unimportant in his mouth.

Hearing this, Gui Xiansheng and the others felt cold in their hearts, their bodies trembling slightly. It was as if it wasn't a young boy in front of them, but some peerless hero, ruthless and using all means.

The three were silent for a while, seeing it in Lu Fan's eyes, he naturally understood their thoughts, but he was calm.

Desolate is an evil beast between heaven and earth, greedy without limit. Since there is its aura on this array, it is normal for a few people to disappear. These people will never appear again, the past is broken, and there is no trace to find.

Gui Xiansheng gritted his teeth hard, as if he had made up his mind, and said resolutely: "Young Master Lu, this old man doesn't want to beat around the bush. I think you have guessed our thoughts. We want to use this altar to summon the split soul of a deity!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to relax. The weird things brought by "Desolate" had been thrown behind his head, and he only had the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony in his heart.

Xiulan also looked at Lu Fan with hope, her longing overflowing. Zhu Ge Qing Ming was in another state, although he had long guessed what the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony was doing, he was still shocked when Gui Xiansheng said it.

Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and scanned the altar, then said calmly: "Summon a deity? You are bold enough to think! This altar's origin is unknown, evil and weird, you actually dare to plot like this, you must have some reliance! Take it out and let me see!"

Gui Xiansheng's face turned completely ugly, and after a few conversations with Lu Fan, he was at a disadvantage everywhere. The other party looked three steps ahead, peeking at his trump cards every time. If it wasn't for the other party's face, he would have thought it was some old monster talking to him, otherwise how could he have such insight?

"Forget it! Anyway, it depends on Young Master Lu in the end!" He shook his head, turned to look at Xiulan, and said softly: "Show it to Young Master Lu! At this point, only he can help us!"

Hearing this, Xiulan hesitated slightly. But thinking of Lu Fan's previous methods, that problem seemed to be something only the other party could solve, and she had no choice.

With a strange sound of "tear," half a sleeve was torn off. On the arm that should have been like a lotus root, there was a ghost totem engraved. Blood energy appeared, and between the steaming, it could be seen that this totem was twisting and moving, clearly a living thing.

"Evil Ghost Spirit Fetus? This is an Evil Ghost Spirit Fetus!"

Zhu Ge Qing Ming was shocked, he had kept silent about all the previous strange events. But after seeing this ghost totem, he couldn't help it anymore and exclaimed loudly.

He seemed a bit afraid, unable to help but retreat three steps, and even subconsciously activated True Qi to protect his body.

Gui Xiansheng looked at Zhu Ge Qing Ming, slightly surprised, then stared at Lu Fan and said: "Behind this Evil Ghost Spirit Fetus is a powerful existence. As long as a suitable sacrifice is offered at the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony, the other party will definitely be able to sense our piety. Crossing the realm, manifesting the split soul!"

When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but get excited. Years of seeking, seeing it right before his eyes, how could he suppress his heart?

"Is this the deity you mentioned? It turns out to be just an evil existence in a ghost domain!" Lu Fan frowned, looking disdainful. He originally thought the Skull Society was sacrificing to the master of some realm, at least it should be a Ninth-Tier Spirit Refining Realm powerhouse.

Never expected it to be just something unknown like an Evil Ghost Spirit Fetus, he suddenly felt bored. If his luck was worse, it was very likely that he would spend all his efforts to summon just a small ghost from the ghost domain, which would be funny.

"Young Master Lu! This ghost totem was brought out from my mother's womb. At first, it was just ugly. But in the last two years, it has gradually changed!"

Xiulan's face was a bit strange, slightly disgusted, and slightly happy, "I often have nightmares, corpses like mountains and seas of blood, the whole world is broken limbs and arms..."

She spoke at length, although Gui Xiansheng didn't know how many times he had heard it, he was still excited. In his view, this was the opportunity for the Skull Society to rise.

"Could it be the legendary Ghost Domain Asura? Otherwise, how could there be such a vision?" Zhu Ge Qing Ming seemed to calm down, became interested, and asked Lu Fan. Unconsciously, he had already regarded the other party as the backbone, naturally.

Lu Fan shook his head, looking disappointed: "What Ghost Domain Asura, this is just a small ghost. It may not even be from other realms, maybe it's just a wandering ghost in some corner of the Heaven Origin World. Do you really want to sacrifice to this kind of thing?"

As soon as these words fell, Gui Xiansheng and Xiulan nodded immediately, as if they hadn't heard the first half of Lu Fan's words at all.

Zhu Ge Qing Ming frowned, instinctively feeling something was tricky. After Lu Fan's words came out, his doubts deepened. If he were that Gui Xiansheng, he would definitely hesitate. How could he be so decisive, looking impatient.

Lu Fan acted as if nothing had happened, just glanced at Zhu Ge Qing Ming more, and immediately laughed lightly: "Hmm! Prepare the remaining Soul-Returning Grasses, I'll take this matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't say much, and turned to stare at the altar. Pacing slowly, he muttered to himself.

Gui Xiansheng and the other didn't seem to expect Lu Fan to be so easy to talk to, slightly stunned. Then thinking about the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony, all doubts disappeared, and they were overjoyed.

Zhu Ge Qing Ming shook his head, since Lu Fan had made a decision, he couldn't say much. Just sitting on the side, practicing.

Lu Fan initially just wandered around the altar, after a while, he walked onto the altar, still pinching tricks, and one after another, rune seals were hit into the surrounding void.

Mysterious light appeared, this altar seemed to come alive, and an indescribable violent evil energy rolled out.

But I don't know what happened, it was trapped by the mysterious light around the altar and couldn't get out at all.

Lu Fan acted as if he didn't feel it, the tricks in his hands never stopped. Once the evil evil energy invading his body touched him, it was immediately ignited by the True Fire Qi and burned away.

It's just that this evil energy was too rich, although the fire vitality had changed several times, it was only Yellow Grade high-grade. Unknowingly, a trace of evil energy still drilled into his body, lurking in the meridians and acupoints, seeming to wait for the opportunity to explode!

I don't know how long it took, Gui Xiansheng disappeared quietly, while Xiulan stared at Lu Fan's figure with relish, occasionally imitating the tricks in her hands.

However, at this moment, the altar changed abruptly. The surrounding mysterious light condensed, turning into a supreme array.

The pressure of the machine dissipated, and a gust of wind rolled up in the whole cave. Gravel surged, strength shot out, "slap slap" "hiss hiss", strange sounds were endless.

Xiulan and Zhu Ge Qing Ming were shocked, only to see the altar was hazy, light and shadow swaying, and Lu Fan's figure disappeared abruptly.

"What's going on? Where is Young Master Lu?"

Zhu Ge Qing Ming was the first to come to his senses, his voice slightly panicked. Lu Fan was his reliance for recovery in the future, if the other party had any accidents, he would have no hope.

Xiulan also frowned, Lu Fan's appearance of pinching tricks just now, she only felt mysterious to the extreme. Plus the previous things, she had high hopes for Lu Fan.

It's just that this situation was very similar to the strange things that happened a few days ago. If Ye Fei disappeared for no reason, the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony would really turn into a dream bubble. With her own strength, she could only listen to heaven's will.

Above the altar was a mysterious space, Lu Fan held the Art Refining Crystal Furnace with one hand, looking surprised, scanning his surroundings. Dozens of skeletons were placed randomly, twisted and ferocious, clearly having suffered a torture before death.

"These are the people who disappeared from the Skull Society for no reason!" Lu Fan's face was a bit ugly, the clothes of these skeletons were still quite bright, clearly not long ago. But they all turned into skeletons, without even a trace of decay, weird and incomparable.

"The death state of these people is indeed related to the Desolate Beast, but the degree is too slight!" He couldn't help but be a bit suspicious, the memory of that Desolate Beast in his previous life flooded his mind again.

"Wait! Could it be..." His face changed, and he suddenly remembered something, the Art Refining Crystal Furnace in his hand shone brightly, covering a skeleton in front of him.

On the white skeleton, a red light suddenly appeared. Heat steamed, a strange aura slowly emerged, and then condensed into a simple rune seal.

Lu Fan's pupils shrank, his face shocked, and he rolled up two skeletons with one hand. Without thinking, his figure jumped, pushing the Art Refining Crystal Furnace in his hand, shattering the void, and returned to the cave.

With a crisp sound of "crack," two skeletons fell, shattered instantly, and turned into powder.

Lu Fan's figure slowly appeared, holding the Art Refining Crystal Furnace in one hand, red light flashing all over his body. But his face no longer had the previous ease and freedom, and he said solemnly:

"Where is Gui Xiansheng? This altar has a problem, the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony must start today!" ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
