Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Now… Activate The Final Formation.
An eerie silence filled the air as the Li Clan members began pouring their spirit essence into the ancient formation drawn on the floor of the cave chamber. It was a huge formation that consisted of multiple circles with hundreds of runes carved into them. Each circle represented an element, while the runes represented various attributes.

The Li Clan members who were responsible for controlling the formation had their eyes closed as they focused on pouring their spirit essence into it. Meanwhile, the other members of the Li Clan who were present watched the ritual with nervous expressions on their faces, their eyes shining with a mixture of awe and excitement.

They could feel the immense power emanating from the formation, which made their hearts beat faster and faster. They were all excited about the fact that the ancestor of their clan was about to be revived. And they couldn’t wait to see what the future would hold for them once he returned to the world.

The ancestor of the Li Clan, Li Qing, was once known as the Blood Emperor. He was a powerful cultivator who lived thousands of years ago and reigned over the Eastern Continent with an iron fist. But he died in a battle between the various clans and sects on the Eastern Continent, leaving behind only a small portion of his soul. This caused the Li Clan to lose most of its power and prestige overnight, and it forced them to leave their ancestral home and flee to the Western Continent.

After this happened, the Li Clan went into decline. However, the Li Clan still had hope. They believed that if they could revive Li Qing, their ancestor, then they could regain their lost glory and return to the position of one of the top powers on the Eastern Continent. And since then, the Li Clan has been trying to revive him so that they can reclaim the throne that belonged to them in the past. But the formation they used to revive him was very complicated, and they had to wait for a long time to find all the materials needed to complete it. And now, they were finally going to achieve their goal.

However, there was one person who didn’t share the same sentiment as the rest of the Li Clan members. He watched everything unfold before him with a dark expression on his face. He felt incredibly frustrated and angry that he was unable to do anything. He wanted nothing more than to kill everyone present, but he was powerless.

‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’ Asher cursed in his mind as he clenched his fists. ‘I can’t believe this is happening! How can I just let these people sacrifice thousands of children to revive some ancestor? And what’s worse, I’m one of them! If this ritual succeeds, I’ll be sacrificed as well. This is bad. I need to do something… I need to stop them somehow.’

As the formation continued to absorb the spirit essence of the Li Clan members, it began to glow brighter and brighter. Soon enough, the entire chamber was bathed in a blinding red light, and a strong gust of wind swept through the room. The wind howled loudly as it swept past the walls, making it feel like there was an invisible force pushing against everyone present in the chamber.

The light from the formation illuminated the whole chamber, which caused shadows to dance around the walls as the wind blew past them. The shadows took on strange shapes, and the whole cave began to look eerie and scary. It felt as if something sinister was lurking inside, watching them and waiting for its chance to pounce.

This made the members of the Li Clan nervous. But despite this, none of them stopped pouring their spirit essence into the formation, knowing that they couldn’t afford to fail the ritual now. They had to continue, no matter what.

It was then that Asher noticed something strange. There was a large amount of blood pouring out of a crack in the floor. It was flowing into the formation, and it was getting absorbed by it. This blood seemed to be of different kinds, with different colors and smells.

‘Star beast blood… Human blood… and a mix of rare herbs and plants… They’re combining all these together to create the blood pool…’ Asher realized as he saw the different types of blood pouring into the formation.

The formation then began to glow even brighter, and a giant pillar of red light shot into the air, piercing through the ceiling and into the sky. The light was so bright that it illuminated the entire cave and even caused the shadows on the walls to disappear.

At the same time, the ancestor’s voice boomed through the cave once more. “Good… Very good… Now, I shall begin the next step of the ritual.”

With those words, the blood in the formation started swirling around as if it were alive. It moved in strange patterns, and it began to form a giant whirlpool in the middle of the cave chamber. This caused the air to become filled with the strong scent of blood, which made everyone present feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

As this happened, Asher noticed that a dark shadow had appeared in the center of the whirlpool. It was slowly getting bigger and bigger, until it took on the shape of a person. And then, a pair of blood-red eyes opened up in the middle of the shadow.

Those eyes were filled with malice and hunger, and they stared at everyone in the cave with a fierce gaze. As the blood in the whirlpool continued to swirl around, the shadow began to take on a more solid form. Its body became more detailed, and it soon looked like a real person.

The man was old, with wrinkles covering his entire face and gray hair. His eyes were bloodshot, and his skin was pale white. He had a long, flowing beard that reached down to his waist, and he seemed very frail and weak. However, Asher could feel an incredible amount of power coming from this person. It was as if he were an ancient monster that had been sleeping for a long time but was now awake once more.

The man then spoke in a low voice, “Now… activate the final formation. With the blood and lifeforce of these children, my body shall be completed and restored to its original state.”
