"Your Majesty."
"I need to build an altar. Here are the blueprint and materials."
Carl took the blueprint, quickly scanned it, and nodded, "Understood. I will take care of it imdiately."
Soon, Marquis-level vampires carried box after box of materials through the teleportation passage into the Holy Realm, beginning to construct the altar inside the God-given temple.
Outside the temple, in the outer square, mbers of the Holy Court observed silently, once again struck by the scene.
What did this an?
Not performing a ceremony at all?
Although they did not know exactly what Fang Heng intended, with vampires inside the temple building, the altar, while they were blocked outside, gave off the strange impression that the vampires were the masters here.
The scene looked absurd.
Aladdin felt a bit embarrassed.
Even the Holy Realm needed to maintain face.
How could it be that the vampires were occupying the temple?
The Holy Paladins watching this scene all had strangely shifting expressions.
Aladdin cleared his throat and quietly beckoned a nearby guard over. In a low voice, he said, "Quickly evacuate all surrounding personnel. No one is allowed to approach."
"Yes!"
The guard had just left when another ca to report.
"Great Sage, many believers were drawn by the miracle and ca to pray. Several Holy Paladin teams and priests have also arrived."
A miracle?
Aladdin froze for a mont before realizing what had happened.
It was likely the vortex of faith power that had misled them.
Aladdin said irritably, "Stop causing trouble. Send them all back imdiately."
"Alas..." Dean sighed. "Aladdin, controlling them may be harder than letting them go. This scene looks bad..."
Aladdin was helpless. He took a deep breath and said, "I will go speak with him directly. Hopefully, he will spare so face."
...
After Aladdin's near-pleading, Fang Heng eventually handed the task of constructing the altar over to the Holy Court.
After all, the site was too close to the God-given Orb. If the vampires built it themselves, it would have caused major interference. Even transporting the materials had to be done by marquis-level vampires.
The Holy Court was not weak in construction, and the altar itself was not overly difficult to build.
With all materials supplied in full, it took half a day for the God-given altar to be completed.
By this ti, the area surrounding the temple had already gathered believers and Holy Paladin and priest teams up to the third floor outside.
"Fang Heng, there are too many unrelated people outside. Will it affect things?"
Aladdin still did not know what Fang Heng planned to do with the God-given Orb. He only hoped Fang Heng would act when fewer people were present.
"No matter. Ignore them."
Fang Heng, unable to wait any longer, soared again toward the suspended God-given Orb, hovering not far from it, and condensed an imprint in front of him with both hands.
"Buzz!"
The God-given Orb emitted a ripple.
Fang Heng's ntal strength connected with the outer dark tal sh of the Orb, and he slowly controlled the sh to move the God-given Orb into the central slot of the altar.
"Ka!"
With a light click, the God-given Orb was set into the altar.
In the next instant, holy power surged rapidly.
Aladdin and the three Great Sages felt a jolt in their hearts.
Again?
Faith power began to flow uncontrollably toward the altar once more.
But this ti, it was much gentler than before.
Only a small portion affected the God Pillars outside the temple.
As the Orb absorbed the faith power, it emanated a surge of holy power.
Fang Heng squinted, raising his head to look at the sky.
Below, Aladdin and the others followed his gaze upward.
Huh?!
What was that?
They all felt a quiet excitent rising in their hearts.
They suddenly realized that the Orb's power was no longer dissipating as before; under the influence of the altar, it was gradually becoming concentrated and orderly.
"Whoosh!!!"
A beam of holy light suddenly pierced the darkness, shooting into the sky and into the clouds.
Around the beam, a golden vortex of gathered holy power ford in the high sky.
The vortex gradually condensed.
Fang Heng stared at the divine vortex above, feeling the surging holy power within. He sensed a divine guidance emanating from the vortex, and he clenched his fists slightly, levitating toward the center of the vortex.
"What is he doing?"
Outside the temple, everyone watched in astonishnt as Fang Heng rose into the sky, positioning himself beneath the divine vortex.
"Boom!!!!"
A sudden clap sounded as a golden ray of lightning struck Fang Heng directly from the vortex.
At the sa ti, a terrifying surge of holy power poured into his body.
"Divine Refinent! That is Divine Refinent!"
Aladdin gasped, unable to contain himself, shouting out loud.
Dean and Lucius also glanced up at Fang Heng, enduring the lightning from above, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Divine Refinent was recorded in the ancient books of the first-generation God King.
It only appeared during perfect advancent to the God King.
So this kid had already surpassed the Twelve Sages and directly advanced to a third-generation God King?
It was strange. When the second-generation God King Aetheros advanced, Divine Refinent lightning had not appeared.
According to the first-generation God King, Aetheros's strength was insufficient for advancent; he had relied on external force to forcibly increase his power, thus never enduring Divine Refinent.
Of course, once Aetheros cultivated his strength to perfection, he could make up the gap and endure Divine Refinent at so cost.
Unfortunately, before Aetheros perfected his cultivation, the Holy Court fell into war, was later ambushed by the Seed of Ouroboros, and even now, he never completed Divine Refinent.
Fang Heng calmly endured wave after wave of elite Divine Refinent lightning.
He realized that with each impact, the holy energy within his body condensed further.
He even felt that with the lightning strikes, his link to the God's Eye strengthened each ti slightly.
So Fang Heng chose not to resist, gritting his teeth and bearing the lightning, letting it wash over him.
After all, the Undead's regeneration effect allowed him to repair his body quickly during the intervals between lightning strikes.
Maximizing the effect of the Divine Refinent lightning!
"Boom!!!"
As another heavy bolt struck him, Fang Heng's right God's Eye rotated rapidly.
Whoosh!
His vision once again fell into an illusion.
A galaxy.
An elder soared at extre speed through the galaxy, rapidly approaching an island ahead.
The elder looked gravely injured, his face pale, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
"Ka, ka, ka, ka..."
Several rays of divine light spilled from rifts forming in the surrounding space. The elder's expression changed, and he had to stop, forcibly tearing open a spatial rift and throwing the Holy Orb in his hands into the dinsional rift.
Having done this, the elder raised his head and looked out toward the distant galaxy.
