The Holy Sky Emperor has appeared!
He is sacred and majestic, bathed in endless Holy Light. Like a deity within light, he gives people the impression that he is the light. Where he is, darkness cannot exist; everywhere is suffused with radiance.
Chu Yuan pays careful attention to this imperial sovereign who shares his territory.
This man founded an empire on his own strength, showcasing his formidable capabilities. The Holy Sky Empire also holds a great underlying power.
Seemingly struggling in battles against the Everlasting Empire, it's not that they are weak but the Everlasting Empire is simply beyond the comparison of ordinary imperial forces.
Following the Holy Sky Emperor, there are Grand Priests dressed in robes of light, carrying the Holy Light Scepter, gathered around the Emperor.
A Grand Priest often exists within many ancient forces.
But not Dawu, because Dawu only worships the Martial Emperor, and doesn't need any priests.
"Today marks the day of the Holy Sky Empire's ritual. In this critical situation, all of you have honored me with your presence."
The Holy Sky Emperor looked at the crowd and spoke.
"Your Majesty is too polite, we could not have missed this."
The elderly woman from the Sacred Yao Light Land humbly responded.
"The Holy Sky Ritual is the grandest and most ancient ceremony of the Holy Sky Empire. Each commencement costs a vast amount of national fortune, but those who participate also gain great benefits. The last ritual was a hundred thousand years ago. Honored guests, despite the great distance, you will also benefit from this ritual."
The Holy Sky Emperor did not bother much with formalities.
He knew that the current situation did not require formalities.
"Let the ritual begin."
With that, he ascended the altar.
"With my Holy Sky Empire, we offer this infinite national fortune to the world of light."
The Holy Sky Emperor led the ritual. This ritual was more solemn than ever before, ten or even a hundred times more grand, sparing no expense.
He also understood that the Holy Sky Empire was experiencing a crisis like never before. If they could not overcome this, it might be the empire's last ordeal. Hence, there was no need to reserve anything, he just needed to unleash his greatest power.
He covered the altar with the national fortune, transforming it into an overwhelming surge of energy that poured into the altar.
"The kingdom's ritual has begun." Yao Ling Er softly spoke to Chu Yuan's ear.
He could feel the start of the ritual in the Imperial City and the simultaneous commencement of rituals elsewhere, projecting beams of light in response.
The fire of the national fortune on the entire altar blazed intensely.
Although the Holy Sky Empire didn't possess Chu Yuan's magical method of controlling the national fortune, they were still an empire after all, with rich national fortune and a way to utilize it.
Suddenly, in the sky, a place filled with mystique, much like the cosmos of light, an ancient world had been opened.
"Open the void, other worlds!"
Chu Yuan's eyes widened.
He was no stranger to these fluctuations, as he himself controlled three special portals, summoning power from three original rivers. It seemed the ritual of the Holy Sky Empire served the same purpose.
The holy light was indescribably dazzling. The power of light descended.
Chu Yuan suddenly saw a divine, radiant river coming from another world, summoned by the power of the national fortune, pouring the energy of an original river into the Holy Sky Empire.
It's as if the entire Imperial City was inundated by an ocean.
But this was all thick Holy Light.
"Sacred Sky! This is one original river of light, no wonder the entire Imperial City is so dazzling!"
Many experts exclaimed.
Their ritual opened up a world of light and gathered its power. Also, due to the transformation by the national fortune, the attributes became less violent, and softened significantly, allowing even weaker nationals to absorb it.
If viewed from outside,
one would see that the entire territory of the Holy Sky Empire was immersed in an ocean of light, with all citizens emerging to breathe in this primordial energy, rapidly increasing their cultivation levels.
It was rumored that the Holy Sky Emperor commanded an elite sacred legion, obviously trained this way. He opened up the long river of light to enhance the combat power of the army.
Due to the grand scale of this ritual, consuming the accumulated national fortune of the Holy Sky Empire, the signs of this event were even larger than previous ones.
The ritual proceeded.
"Interesting. The Holy Sky Empire uses its national fortune to open this river of light, enveloping the entire nation."
He had three special portals and could summon the force of three original rivers at will. However, the intensity of his summons greatly depended on his level. Compared to this, it seemed not as grand as the Holy Sky Empire's.
An infinite amount of power was descending...
At this moment, Chu Yuan, located in the Imperial City's altar, was breathing in the purest energy. With every wave of his hand, dazzling light beams flared, intertwining into splendid colors.
"The Holy Sky Ritual is truly extraordinary!"
Tianming Demonic Saint had the most intense reaction.
He cultivated demonic cultivation techniques, which were in opposition to the light. Absorbing this energy was like ingesting poison, yet he seized this water-and-fire opposition, fiercely clashing and experiencing the opposing power, refining his demonic cultivation technique.
He felt that if he continued absorbing and opposing the energy, his level might break through.
The Holy Spirit Realm, how difficult it is to break through a minor realm, but this ritual gave him the opportunity to grasp the breakthrough, which was indeed a great fortune.
The others also secretly moved, absorbing this energy. They knew that this was a rare opportunity that only came by through a nation's fortune.
Amidst the Holy Light, countless people from the Holy Sky Empire soared into the sky, fortifying their space with national fortune.
Under the holy and dazzling light, within the Holy Light, armies shouted "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
But the changes weren't just that.
Chu Yuan also saw that within the Holy Light, there seemed to be vague forms, like light deities formed from the origin of light, accepting the offerings of the Holy Sky Empire's national fortune.
Chu Yuan lifted his head and sharply fixed his gaze on these light deities.
It seemed that the national fortune of the Holy Sky Empire was the best nourishment, these light deities greedily absorbed it. They were all creatures born from the light.
"National Fortune Sky Net!"
The strands of light from the national fortune altars situated at various points of the Holy Sky Empire shot towards the heavens, weaving a national fortune sky net, seeming to catch these light deities as if netting fish in the sea.
The light deities emitted a sound of surprise and anger, in a language that nobody understood, but one could discern their intense fury.
Boundless holy fire of light descended.
The actions of the Holy Sky Empire utterly enraged them. The Holy light divine technique flowed relentlessly, descending onto the Imperial City. This was the light deities' fury, wanting to destroy all existence that defiled them.
They were living in the long river of light, very proud, not allowing any disrespect.
The Holy Sky Emperor coldly commanded, manipulating the national fortune sky net and capturing all the light deities from the long river of light.
