Chapter 1437: Blood Sacrifice

Dejo Island was located in the deepest ocean bordering the central continent. It was ruled by a God Rank sea monster, along with five other large ocean territories.

Billions of sea monsters were living in those territories, and that God Rank sea monster would sometimes pass down some of his knowledge to attract even more sea monsters.

To those monsters without any inherited knowledge, this was immensely attractive. After all, knowledge was power, and those territories had taken down a few God Rank sea monsters who had tried to invade.

——

 A Legendary sea crab climbed out of his cave in Dejo island and bowed in front of the God Rank sea monster in front of him. “Master Basham!”

As a sea fox, Sea Monster Basham was not a big sea monster, but no one around would disrespect him for that.

“I need ten thousand sea monsters to do something secret for me!” he demanded firmly.

“Yes master!” The Legendary sea crab had no right to reject his order.

In the vast ocean, taking away ten thousand sea monsters would not make much difference, as long as they didn’t make a big fuss about it. After all, it was normal for lots of sea monsters to die in battles.

The sea monsters close to Basham knew he would take some sea monsters away from time to time. No one knew what he was up to, but no one would question him about it, either!

——

That sea crab acted with great energy, and soon gathered all the sea monsters Basham needed. This might have been a problem on land, but in the ocean he had the power to move the winds and waves, and so it was done.

The very next day, ten thousand monsters gathered in a huge space under Dejo Island.

There was a shrine in that underground space. Although it had been cleaned, those present could still sense a lingering bloody chill.

With a flash of Power of the Will, Sea Monster Basham ignited a Barrier Circle.

It was hard to imagine such a large Barrier Circle existing, especially in the ocean, but there were indeed a few wise old sea monsters who knew how to make them, and Basham was one of the ones who had obtained such knowledge.

As the Barrier Circle was activated, Sea Monster Basham suddenly began to transform from a little sea fox and into a human. Afterwards, a powerful energy lashed out.

“Who could have guessed? Souls can actually solidify a world!” he murmured to himself.

Indeed, this God Rank Sea Monster was actually not a sea monster at all. He was a human, and the President of the Wizard Union!.

His inner world had not grown for thousands of years. Although he had hopes in the World Stone Heart, he still wanted to grow even more to combat the Demon from Beyond and the Holy Kingdom.

As the President of the Wizard Union, the resources he needed were hard to imagine, yet he pushed himself to the limit.

This limit was Rank 44, and there was no more he could do with material resources. Therefore, he had to find another way.

Even at the top of the world with an immortal body, sitting still was not a good idea. After all, there might be someone more talented lurking about.

Most of the God Rank Wizards were stuck at Rank 36. He was the only one who had broken the Rank 40 barrier. Therefore, he was the one who had decided the naming system.

Rank 36 to Rank 40 he classified as beginner God Ranks. Rank 40 to Rank 45 he classified as intermediate God Ranks. Rank 45 and above he had classified as the pinnacle God Ranks, what all God Ranks were striving for.

Pinnacle God Rank was a mysterious thing, but he knew it was possible to achieve. It meant having the power of a true and real world.

Still, a pinnacle God Rank had not appeared since ancient times. There were only records, and that was when he started to cultivate the World Stone Heart.

Starting back when the Era of Gods had ended, everything he had done was to become a pinnacle God Rank.

The Demon from Beyond was a huge disruption to his plans and he had to form an alliance with the other powerful figures to take it down. Still, he had not managed to kill it.

In order to get even more powerful, he had searched through the ancient documents again, and found an extremely gruesome method.

As a God Rank, every hope could be life changing, and the method might be exactly what was needed after being stuck at Rank 44 for so long.

He knew the Demon from Beyond was not a pinnacle God Rank, either. Therefore, if he could become the most powerful intermediate God Rank, he would be able to fight the Demon from Beyond alone.

Back then, many God Ranks had died in their battle with the Demon from Beyond. It had taken the central continent a long time to recover.

He still remembered how badly injured the Demon from Beyond was when it entered this world, so they might have a much harder time if they were to fight again.

The World Stone Heart was his biggest hope, but he wouldn’t put all the eggs in one basket.

According to ancient documents, fresh souls could help an Inner World grow through the power of sacrifice.

Although he had the power to do so in the central continent, doing so as the President of the Wizard Union wouldn’t look at all good.

Even at Rank 44, he was not truly invincible with the Dragon God around. That god was an old bastard who had lived much longer than him.

Therefore, he had to come to the ocean with a special method to proceed with his plan.

Throughout these many years, he had sacrificed millions of sea monsters, and his World kept growing.

It was not much, but it was life changing. He had already reached the limit of his potential, so it was cheap, especially if the price he had to pay were mere souls!

“This is my lucky place!” he laughed, as he knew that he would start getting more powerful again.

He knew if he just sacrificed a million more sea monsters, he would reach the Rank 44 Fulfilled state.

With his talent, he would then be able to level up. He still had many treasures on him that could help a wizard level up.

After all, he had access to anything in the Wizard Union, and the best stuff was always taken by him first!

Once he had still needed to use some tactics to control the Wizard Union, but as his power grew he no longer had to restrain himself..

Fear was the most effective tool to use on wizards!

—

With a wave of his hand, his World emerged and flew towards the shrine.

Unlike beginner God Rank Wizards, his world had life and plants. There were even fish swimming in the waters.

It was more alive than ever, and he was slowly making his way towards cultivating intelligent life forms.

At the same time, his World was huge. It was almost as big as a subcontinent!

If he was to unleash his full energy, it was like using an entire subcontinent to press down on an enemy.

Indeed, those fish in his world were actually the result of his hundred years of sea monster sacrifices. Without them, he would only have plants in his world.

Those fish were not ordinary fish. If you looked closely, you could see some characteristics from sea monsters on them.

“Get up!” he roared, and a giant magic emerged from the ground.

Initially the sea monsters had been knocked out, but as his Power of the Will penetrated their souls they quickly returned to consciousness.

What he needed were frightened souls!

Those sea monsters quickly began to twitch, but their every move was a joke in front of a Rank 44 God Rank Wizard.

As his Power of the Will moved, a bloody red glow appeared from the Magic Circle below.

Fear engulfed the minds of those sea monsters, one of the effects of that Magic Circle, and their feces shot out in all directions.

Wizard Basham smiled as he saw what was happening. He did not care how bad the place smelled; anything was worth it for power!

If not, he would not have given up being the top authority and living a life of luxury in the central continent to become a sea monster!

As blood gushed out from those terrified sea monsters, a cold spark flashed from his eyes. Sharp blades flew out from his World and slashed across the necks of every sea monster.

Under the bright glow of the Magic Circle and the bloody clouds, the originally invisible souls of those sea monsters flew out.

They were all infuriated as they roared in agony and Cursed him.

Wizard Basham waved his hand, and those weak little Curses were helplessly blasted away.

The souls he wanted were right in front of him. Since they were filled with fear, their quality was much higher than normal ones.

“Come!” he cried out eagerly.

A sucking golden beam emerged from his World above the shrine.

The souls were quickly cleaned up by the beam and soon absorbed into his World. Those souls then turned into some fish-like creatures and dove into the water once they entered his World.

Their fear was forgotten as their bodies solidified, and they swam around like normal fish.

“I wish I could grow faster!” Wizard Basham sighed after sensing his world with satisfaction.

It was not because he didn’t want to kill more sea monsters, but because ten thousand at a time was the limit his Magic Circle could take!
