What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

Chapter 334: Refining Liquid Medicine (New)

Inside the temple.

The runes on the altar flashed with dazzling purple light, and energy fluctuations surged in all directions like a tide.

Li Ming stood outside the light film, his eyes fixed on the totem in the center of the altar, and he was secretly alert.

Suddenly, the runes on the altar burst into dazzling light, and the atmosphere inside the entire temple instantly became depressing and heavy.

Li Ming could feel that the energy was gradually condensing, as if summoning some powerful existence.

"Is this... the nine great altars?" Li Ming's heart was shocked and his eyes swept around the altar.

Nine huge Hydra altars appeared one after another, and each altar emitted strong energy fluctuations, as if it had life.

As the power of the sacrifice gathered, the nine altars gradually merged into a purple-gold nine-headed snake altar.

The power of rules emitted by the altar shocked Li Ming. This power could greatly enhance his strength and might even allow him to break through the SS level.

"This power... is so powerful!" Li Ming exclaimed in his heart.

It suddenly dawned on him that the sacrifice before his eyes was not a simple ritual, but a huge process of refining power.

Li Ming clenched his fists and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that once his identity was exposed, he would face siege from ten S-class warriors, and might even be hunted down by SS-class warriors.

However, the power emanating from the Hydra altar in front of him made him feel an indescribable temptation.

Even if I can't snatch it, I have to destroy their refining. Otherwise, if one of them really becomes stronger, I will have no chance of escaping.

"If I can control this power..." Li Ming said in his heart, his eyes once again fixed on the totem in the center of the altar.

At this moment, the purple key in his arms suddenly emitted a faint wave.

Li Ming was startled and quickly took out the key. He saw a faint purple light flashing on the surface of the key, which resonated with the power of the rules of the altar.

"This key... is actually related to the altar?" Li Ming speculated in his heart.

The Purple Key may be the key to solving all of this.

On the other side, when the sacrifice reached its climax, Sakurayuki Chikage suddenly stopped.

"Yingxue Qianying, what is going on?" There was a hint of anger in the temple master's voice, and his eyes were fixed on Yingxue Qianying.

Yingxue Qianying looked at them calmly, her tone calm and firm: "The power of the sacrifice has been destroyed, and the remaining energy is not enough to extract SSS-level genetic medicine."

"So what should we do now?" asked the black-robed old Masonic man in a deep voice, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Yingxue Qianying nodded slightly, her eyes swept over everyone present, and she said slowly: "If you want to refine the genetic medicine liquid that is enough to allow people to break through the SSS level, you still need eight S-level strongmen to participate in the sacrifice.

Sakura Yuki Chikage's words had just fallen.

The temple master and the Masonic elder exchanged glances, and then the three of them acted without hesitation, instantly controlling the ten S-level warriors next to them.

"You...what are you going to do?" An S-rank warrior asked in horror, his eyes full of disbelief. "For the sake of the overall situation, you must sacrifice yourself." The temple master's voice was cold and ruthless. With a wave of his hand, he pushed the warrior directly into the purple-gold Hydra altar.

“No——!” Before the strong man’s scream had even finished, he was swallowed up by the power of the altar, turning into a stream of energy and merging into it.

The purple-gold Hydra altar gradually became violent under the stimulation of the sacrificial power.

The totem in the center of the altar seemed to come alive. The shadow of the Hydra twisted and stretched in the light, and the snake's eyes flashed scarlet light, as if watching every victim who was pushed into the altar.

The moment the first S-rank warrior was pushed into the altar, his body was torn apart by an invisible force before it completely touched the surface of the altar. Skin, muscles, and bones were peeled off layer by layer, and blood gushed out like a fountain, but was evaporated in mid-air by the power of the altar, turning into wisps of scarlet mist and merging into the shadow of the Hydra.

"No! Save me! Save me!" The screams of the strong man echoed in the temple, his voice full of despair and pain. His body twisted and struggled on the altar, as if being entangled by countless invisible tentacles and being dragged into the abyss bit by bit.

However, no one responded to his call for help.

The temple master and the black-robed old man from the Freemasonry stood aside indifferently, without a trace of fluctuation in their eyes, as if the tragic situation before them was just a reasonable price to pay.

When the second S-class warrior was pushed into the altar, his body was bitten by the Hydra's phantom before he completely fell down.

The snake's head swung violently, and the strong man's body was torn in half like a rag. His internal organs and blood spilled on the altar and were devoured in an instant.

His head rolled to the ground, his eyes wide open, as if he could not believe his fate until his death.

The third, the fourth... Every S-rank warrior who was pushed into the altar would go through the same refining process. Their bodies twisted and shattered on the altar, and their blood and internal organs evaporated into scarlet mist, merging into the shadow of the Hydra.

The screams, the sounds of bones breaking, and flesh peeling off intertwined together to form a horrifying symphony of death.

The runes on the altar became more dazzling as they were soaked in blood. The purple-gold light was mixed with scarlet blood mist, as if the entire altar was greedily devouring the lives of these powerful men.

The shadow of the Hydra gradually solidified, its eyes turned blood red, and as its tongue moved, a strong smell of blood filled the air.

Li Ming stood outside the light film and witnessed it all, feeling shocked and complicated.

He could feel that the power of the altar was constantly increasing, and the shadow of the Hydra seemed like it would break free from the altar at any time and devour everything.

"Is this... refining?" Li Ming whispered to himself, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He could see that Yingxue Qianying was able to control the nine altars, and she seemed to be the core of this sacrifice?
Or was it all her who was in charge?
Li Ming originally wanted to stop her and let her fail in refining.

But once his identity is exposed, he will face the siege of ten S-level masters, and may even be hunted down by SS-level masters, and he will surely die.

However, the power emanating from the Hydra altar in front of him made him feel an indescribable temptation.

"If I could control this power..."

Li Ming said in his heart, his eyes once again fixed on the purple Hydra altar in the center of the altar.

Never mind for now, just wait and see, maybe there will be a chance later.

If it really doesn't work, he has the ability to teleport. As long as Sakurayuki Chikage, the temple master, and the Masonic elder don't catch him in the first place, he can escape.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they cannot really break through to the SSS level, otherwise I will be doomed.
