Summoning catastrophe-grade creatures typically involves large-scale blood sacrifices.
Those like the Blasphemous Blood usually favor this method.
Despite the low success rate and the ease with which the Hunter Association can intervene, it is indeed the most cost-effective summoning method.
As for using catastrophe-grade energy cores to summon catastrophe-grade powerhouses, such a luxurious method is almost never employed by clandestine organizations.
However, the clandestine organization 'Heart of Nature,' to which Yiyeta belongs, has no intention of conducting a large-scale blood sacrifice.
Although Yiyeta herself looks down on humans, they were once on the same side as the 'Beast God,' and slaughtering humans is something they cannot bring themselves to do.
More importantly, a summoning ritual stained with blood cannot summon a subordinate deity of the Heavenly Sovereign.
Thus, their only recourse was to use the Qiling Pearl. However, even if every member of their organization, young and old, were gathered, they would not be a match for a few village cadres from Yaoling Village, forcing them to resort to this desperate measure.
The plan has proceeded perfectly thus far, without a single hitch.
The sacrifices are ready, the portal has been opened, and all that remains is for the subordinate deity of the 'Heavenly Sovereign' to accept her invitation and descend into this world. Su Dan Novel Network
Yiyeta knelt before the altar, chanting words in a language Wenwen had never heard before.
Her voice grew more fervent, and then with a piercing scream, the Qiling Pearl emitted a seven-colored beam of light towards the sky. The beam transformed into a translucent membrane, shielding the surroundings.
This is a necessary protective measure during a summoning ritual. As long as one remains within this protective shield, they will not be perceived by Xunying, nor will any petty thieves stumble in and interrupt the ritual.
It can be said that the summoning ritual is now half successful!
Little did she know that Wenwen was hiding near the cave at that very moment and was also enshrouded by the barrier!
Yiyeta's aura was astonishing, far surpassing her actual strength level. Therefore, Wenwen dared not act rashly, but patiently lurked in the shadows, awaiting an opportunity.
During this time, he tried to notify the Association through his hunting terminal, but the message failed to send. It seemed that all signals in this area were being blocked.
As Yiyeta spoke, a spatial rift gradually appeared above the Qiling Pearl.
From within the rift, a peculiar energy emanated, forming a spherical energy mass that enveloped the entire altar.
The light flashed by this energy was somewhat akin to moonlight.
Unique catastrophe-grade energy, bit by bit, penetrated the rift and entered the energy sphere. The clear, cold light radiated outwards, making the sphere resemble a full moon.
Although the manifestation was somewhat different, Wenwen was somewhat familiar with the process of this summoning ritual.
Just like at Furong River Amusement Park, the catastrophe-grade entity on the other side required a considerable amount of time to truly descend into reality. If it were disturbed during this process, the summoning ritual would fail.
However, at Furong River Amusement Park, the main body of the summoning ritual and the summoner were separate, which allowed Wenwen to wreak havoc without being discovered.
But now, Yiyeta herself was seated on the altar, her energy fluctuations making even Wenwen feel oppressed. To cause trouble at such a time would be tantamount to seeking death.
Thus, Wenwen began to reconsider, viewing this as merely a mission that did not warrant him risking his life.
Setting aside Yiyeta's potential danger, Wen wouldn't forget how terrifying it was to be targeted by a catastrophe-grade entity, as Wu Wang had already demonstrated by becoming his captive.
But just then, a yearning emotion spread from the Disaster Gauntlets, as if urging Wenwen to absorb energy.
Wenwen raised his hand and looked at the Disaster Gauntlets, frowning. "Strange, normally, if there's a powerful enemy before me that I have no hope of defeating, the Disaster Gauntlets wouldn't urge me so urgently."
"Perhaps, the situation isn't as dangerous as I think."
"Come to think of it, this dark-skinned woman seems to be fully engrossed in presiding over the summoning ritual, unlike Mr. L, who can move freely."
"That is to say, even if I were to go and absorb energy, this woman could only watch helplessly. As for the resentment of a catastrophe-grade entity... as long as I cover myself well, it should be fine."
Although he had a slight sense of confidence, Wenwen still did not act rashly. Instead, he first entered the containment facility and obtained a short, chubby little demon puppet from Xu Hai.
He decided to use this puppet to test Yiyeta's capabilities first.
Yiyeta was intently controlling the ritual, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Having a catastrophe-grade powerhouse of their own had been the centuries-long aspiration of their 'Heart of Nature,' and today, that aspiration was about to be realized.
But at that moment, Yiyeta's expression changed drastically, for, from some unknown time, an ominous aura had entered the barrier!
How could this be possible!
She stiffly turned to her left and saw a short, chubby demon bouncing towards the altar's vicinity.
Sensing the demon's strength, Yiyeta's expression relaxed.
Because this demon was at most of calamity-grade strength. If such a creature could disrupt the summoning ritual, she might as well find a tofu to bash her head against.
However, the situation was not as she had imagined. The demon stopped about twenty meters from the altar, then rummaged in its pants, pulled out a rat, and threw it towards the altar.
As soon as the rat flew to about ten meters from the altar, it turned into dust and dissipated without any warning.
Yiyeta's ears turned pale with anger, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "This damned little thing is blaspheming! I will tear it into a thousand pieces!"
However, she ultimately did not act against this demon, because if she stopped, the summoning ritual would halt, and it would not be possible to achieve the next one in a short time.
Wenwen, hidden in the shadows, rubbed his chin and said, "There should be a powerful barrier outside this altar, but with the power of the Disaster Gauntlets, I can easily approach it."
"And it seems she truly cannot act carelessly. However, perhaps it's just because she doesn't care about this rat. Let's try something more provocative."
The short, chubby demon found a steel pipe again, stuck it into the ground, winked at Yiyeta, and then began to dance seductively beside the pipe.
While dancing, it stuck out its tongue, lifted its clothes, and was utterly disgusting. Even Wenwen, who was controlling the demon, could barely watch.
Yiyeta, who was directly facing this dance, almost vomited, but unfortunately, she could only continue to endure this mental pollution and preside over the ritual.
"Still no reaction... It seems she really can't act. In that case, it's time for me to make my appearance."
Wenwen tidied his robes, ensuring he wouldn't be recognized, and then slowly walked towards the altar.
