As the Golden Tortoise’s sacrifice process continued, this spirit ring of Kong Bo’s gradually turned red, officially becoming a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Just as this spirit ring became a 100,000-year one, the Crimson Moon hanging above the Golden Tortoise and Kong Bo rejected the subsequent energy from the Golden Tortoise, returning it directly to the Golden Tortoise.
Then, the Crimson Moon came above Kong Bo’s head, and the sacrifice process stopped just like that.
That’s right, it stopped.
The Golden Tortoise’s body was no longer burning with life force; it was still alive.
At this moment, Kong Bo also possessed a red 100,000-year spirit ring.
“Wh-what is going on?” Both Di Tian and the other Vicious Beasts looked at each other in confusion.
Didn’t sacrifice mean the death of a Spirit Beast?
How could the sacrifice process just stop like that?
Furthermore, the Golden Tortoise was still alive, and its complexion even seemed a bit better.
Whether it was Di Tian or the other Vicious Beasts, they weren’t unfamiliar with Spirit Beast sacrifices, but they had never seen a 100,000-year Spirit Beast sacrifice stop, let alone the sacrificing Spirit Beast surviving.
“I’ve figured out the underlying principle, wait a moment,” Kong Bo said.
“Right now, I have obtained a 100,000-year spirit ring, and the Spirit Ability is the enhancement skill I wanted.
However, the consumption of a 100,000-year Spirit Ability is too great for me right now; it’s not suitable for me to use at the moment.
Therefore, I need to Seal the energy within this spirit ring and slowly unseal it in the future.”
Then, Kong Bo manipulated the Crimson Moon to absorb the energy within this red spirit ring.
The red spirit ring gradually changed from red to black, and finally became a 2,500-year purple spirit ring.
Following that, Kong Bo placed this purple spirit ring onto his body and began to absorb it.
When the absorption ended, Kong Bo’s spirit power Rank had risen to Rank 12, and he officially became a Rank 12 Spirit Master.
Regarding his spirit power Rank, Kong Bo had deliberately suppressed it with the help of the Crimson Moon; pursuing Rank advancement too eagerly would make a Spirit Master’s spirit power too shallow, which would dilute their true strength.
After absorbing this spirit ring, Kong Bo opened his eyes.
The Spirit Ability bestowed upon him by this first spirit ring was called “Moonlight Blessing.”
This was an attribute-enhancing Spirit Ability.
After releasing this Spirit Ability, Kong Bo’s skills would receive an enhancement.
Not only that, the Moon Spirit was a Spirit capable of powering spirit tools, and the Moon Spirit could also serve as the core of a spirit tool; Kong Bo’s Three Moon Martial Soul was naturally the same. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“Great, this first spirit ring is exactly what I wanted.
As my spirit power Rank gradually increases, I will gradually unseal the energy, and it will slowly rise to 100,000 years,” Kong Bo thought to himself.
Then, he grasped the Crimson Moon of his Three Moon Martial Soul and examined it.
The energy the Golden Tortoise had sacrificed to Kong Bo was almost entirely energy from life essence gold.
After the Crimson Moon absorbed such energy, it gained higher activity.
Whether it was Kong Bo absorbing moon energy in the future, copying and rubbing spirit rings, or replicating Spirits, the efficiency had significantly improved, equivalent to an upgrade in the internal architecture of the Crimson Moon server.
“This is a great thing,” Kong Bo thought.
“While I am in the Star Dou Great Forest, I can use the Crimson Moon to copy the life spectrum of Di Tian and the others (including their Spirits and their skills) into the Crimson Moon.
In the future, I will have more Spirit Abilitys to choose from.
It’s a pity that I can only copy Spirits now and cannot bestow Spirits upon others; it seems I will have to wait for a future upgrade to do that.”
After inspecting his Spirit, Kong Bo opened his eyes.
At this moment, Bi Ji asked impatiently, “Kong Bo, what is going on?
Why could the Spirit Beast sacrifice process be stopped?
Even with how long the beast god has lived, he has never seen such a thing.”
“It is because my Crimson Moon Spirit possesses the authority over life itself,” Kong Bo said.
“And the process of a Spirit Beast sacrifice is simply the sacrificing Spirit Beast opening its authority over life force to me, and then a process where my Spirit absorbs that life force.
I wonder if Beast God Senior has ever attended our human banquets.”
“I have,” Di Tian said.
Kong Bo nodded, then used his spirit power to outline a wine bottle filled with wine, as well as an empty cup, and began to demonstrate.
“To use an analogy, during the sacrifice process, the Golden Tortoise is equivalent to the wine inside the wine bottle, and I am equivalent to this empty cup.
The sacrifice process is equivalent to the wine bottle pouring wine into the cup; the wine inside the bottle is the life force.” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“And later on, the Crimson Moon must have discovered that the quality of the life force being transmitted was not as good as before, so it ended the pouring process.
The Crimson Moon’s control and manipulation over life force are very strong, so it was equivalent to ending this pouring process.”
“Oh, I understand now,” Bi Ji said.
“I have another question.
Look at that Tortoise; its life state seems to be much better.
When Di Tian brought this Tortoise out earlier, its vital signs were actually very poor.
Our Emerald Swan clan has the talent to perceive the life state of other Spirit Beasts.”
Kong Bo thought about it.
He knew the story of this Golden Tortoise, so he realized why the Golden Tortoise had become healthier after performing the sacrifice process.
Kong Bo pointed at the Golden Tortoise, “You fellow, you are quite greedy, just like me.
Such a large piece of life essence gold (a whole one-fifth), you swallowed it all in one gulp.
Do you think you could digest it?
Let me ask you, after you ate the life essence gold, didn’t you feel very comfortable at first, but later felt like you had been poisoned, feeling uncomfortable all over, and felt like the life essence gold was absorbing your life force?”
The Golden Tortoise nodded, “That is indeed how it was…
I felt that my days were numbered.”
Then Kong Bo used his spirit power to draw a diagram, “Hmph, that wasn’t the life essence gold absorbing your life force; that was your body having absorbed the maximum amount of energy, and the remaining life essence gold energy formed a blockage inside your body, which made you feel very uncomfortable and put your life in danger.
And since you performed a sacrifice to me, the energy blocking you was transmitted to me.
Of course, this also means the piece of life essence gold you swallowed was swallowed in vain, as all the energy went to me.
Look at you, you went through all that trouble to swallow a piece, and now it has benefited me.”
“However, you also gained something; the life force that was blocking you is gone, and you can live longer.
Besides, since you performed a sacrifice for me, I will remember your kindness.
In the future, if I become a god, come and be my Divine Beast.”
“Thank you for saving my life; I truly cannot repay you enough,” the Golden Tortoise said.
