Chapter 1407: The Baptism of Deity

Someone said that labor pain ranked highest. The one who said that must have not tried the taste of Purgatory Samsara Method. The pain of Purgatory Samsara Method could be recognized literally. Being tortured by Purgatory Samsara Method, even knights would collapse physically and mentally…

When Zhang Tie started to shatter the water chakra of the “prime minister of Heavens Reaching Empire”, this guy instantly dropped off tears and nasal mucus while uttering earth-shaking howls.

Hearing the miserable howls of the “prime minister of Heavens Reaching Church”, Gao Tianzhao and Ockham couldn’t help but turn pale. Like a rabbit in cold wind, Ockham the chief halos priest of the east parish of Sacred Light Empire kept quivering.

As Ockham was quivering, he kept randomly glancing here and there. Based on his “existential experience”, he had already sensed that the atmosphere today was apparently different than before. Zhang Tie behaved more grimly, Today, Zhang Tie didn’t even pay attention to him. After he was pushed out of the dungeon by Agan, Ockham had felt that he was more like livestock being sent into the slaughterhouse or a rusty part being thrown into the steelmaking furnace for recycling instead of a knight.

“If you knew that you would face such a result, did you do that at the beginning? Whatever you howl, can you imagine how many innocent Hua people died miserably because of the bloody figures that you curtained in bloody pools after the turmoil in Xuanyuan Hill? Do you know how many harmonious and warm families were disrupted because of you? Until today, the bloody figures had not been eradicated. Some bloody figures are hiding in the depth of dense woods and still causing troubles everywhere. Over dozens of years, you’ve deliberately demonized the grains of Taixia Country. Do you know how many tragical scenes of exchanging children for food would happen in Taixia Country if the food crisis really happened across Taixia Country in the holy war? A knight could be wealthy and dignified wherever he is; is it really that necessary for you to serve demons at the risk of your lives?”

Zhang Tie said icily as he kept shattering Wang Baozhong’s water chakra and refining his water elements.

The “prime minister of Heavens Reaching Empire” completely fainted in miserable howls.

With the effect of Purgatory Samsara Method, Zhang Tie soon absorbed enough water elements to light 3 scales of his water chakra. Closely after that, he grabbed Wang Baozhong’s head and threw Zhang Baozhong into the furnace.

“The prime minister of Heavens Reaching Empire” was instantly burned into ashes in the bloody sacrifice furnace.

Closely after that, Zhang Tie moved his hand onto the head of the other pillar of Heavens Reaching Empire. As that b*stard turned miserably pale, Zhang Tie threw the second earth knight into the bloody sacrifice furnace without demur once again.

After throwing these b*stards into bloody sacrifice furnace, even though Zhang Tie killed them, he could still get corresponding fruits from the small tree. Meanwhile, their bodies could serve as the source of energy for the bloody sacrifice furnace.

Only after eating two earth knights, the third eye on the forehead of that deity above the bloody sacrifice furnace had started to shine. At the same time, the small tree which was not far started to give out strange brilliance and exotic fragrance as a fruit of brilliance gradually grew up on a twig.

“Ahh, don’t kill me. I will do whatever you want me to do…” The third earth knight started to implore.

Not everyone could withstand the test of life or death situation.

“You’re too dirty. I’d rather raise a dog…” Zhang Tie said coldly as he waved his arm, throwing another earth demon knight into the bloody sacrifice furnace.

Watching Zhang Tie throwing 3 earth knights who could be throne priests in Sacred Light Empire into the incinerator, Ockham who was quivering all over had incontinence. He finally figured out why the atmosphere today was different than usual; because Zhang Tie had lost his patience and wanted to dispose of all of them today. However, Ockham still had a faintly fluke mind——perhaps Zhang Tie only wants to recover the water chakra of his or Gao Tianzhao’s like before…

That was a marvelous sacrificial platform and furnace. However, all this was a nightmare that Ockham would not touch anymore for the rest of his life. In Ockham’s eyes, Zhang Tie was the devil of the devil. If the time could turn back, Ockham preferred to not step in Ice and Snow Wilderness as well as hope that he had not heard Zhang Tie’s name and seen this young yet chilling face.

However, after realizing that Zhang Tie didn’t spare any chance for them to surrender, all of them started to swear Zhang Tie ferociously.

“Zhang Tie, let’s see it. Our patriarch would avenge for us and break you into ashes and destroy your entire family…”

“I wouldn’t let you go even if I were a ghost…”

“You will die in a miserable way…”

“I’m sorry, Han Zhengfang and his sons have already been killed ahead of you by me. I’ve already turned their bones into ashes. Therefore, don’t expect that someone else could avenge for you. As for being ghosts. You couldn’t even live as a sensible person, not to mention being ghosts. As you encounter me, I will refine you both physically and spiritually…” As Zhang Tie said, he soon threw all the 7 earth knights and 4 black iron knights into the bloody sacrifice furnace without demur and eradicated them.

Zhang Tie then came to the front of Gao Tianzhao.

“Humans would not win this holy war. Zhang Tie, don’t be complacent too early. You will not have a good result either…” Gao Tianzhao said with forlorn laughter, “You will also have a miserable fate like me. You can never escape it…”

As an elder of Heavens Reaching Church, Gao Tianzhao performed a bit more backbone.

“I prefer a clear conscience. I don’t consider whether humans would win the holy war or not. I would only do my job well. Even if humans couldn’t win in the end, I would still survive myself. It’s none of your business. But, you would not see the end of this holy war whatever it is…” Zhang Tie smiled as he grabbed Gao Tianzhao with his neck and threw him into bloody sacrifice furnace like how he did to a chick.

The moment Gao Tianzhao was thrown into the bloody sacrifice furnace, he had turned into ashes. Closely after that, the deity above the bloody sacrifice furnace gave out strong brilliance as if it had taken a tonic.

Zhang Tie then came to the front of Ockham as he frowned about the latter’s wet pant. It was out of Zhang Tie’s imagination that Ockham was such a coward.

Gao Tianzhao’s annihilation had already destroyed the last glimmer of hope for Ockham. Ockham cried and howled as he told Zhang Tie in the most pious way as soon as possible.

“Don’t kill me. I could be your most pious slave servant. There’s a secret method in Sacred Light Empire in which a knight could submit his fate to another one by opening his own awareness and chakra to that one in case of betrayal. I wish to open my awareness and soul to you and become your most pious servant. I wish to donate all the honors and wealth that I’ve acquired in Sacred Light Empire, Western Continent to you and follow you forever. Your most pious slave servant Ockham beseech you to spare me a chance of confession, my master…”

Ockham put it very poorly. However, before Zhang Tie replied, Edward, Agan and Aziz on the side of Ockham had fixed him with a furious glance.

“B*stard, we’re the most pious servants of our master. Do you want to deprive of our honor?”

“How dare you ignore our existence…”

“Liar. When I started to run an errand for our master and brewed wine for our master, you’ve not even entered Castle of Black Iron yet…”

The 3 pious slave servants of Zhang Tie couldn’t curb their anger as they directly beat up Ockham, causing him to shriek miserably.

The poor Ockham, who was the former renowned halos priest of Sacred Light Empire couldn’t even believe that he would be beaten badly by Zhang Tie’s slave servants when he expressed his instance.

When Ockham was shrieking miserably, Zhang Tie threw a glance at Heller. Heller then nodded slightly.

Everyone had his own strong point. Zhang Tie had not imagined that there was a secret method that could be used to control knights in Sacred Light Empire. In addition, this secret method was so abnormal and distinctive that it required someone to open his awareness and chakra to another one voluntarily. Unless the knight himself wished to do that, he could never be affected by this secret method. This explained why many ‘controlling’ secret methods of Bloody Soul Sutra were futile for knights.

Zhang Tie waved his arm to end his servants’ ferocious beating. With bruised nose and swollen face, Ockham watched Zhang Tie with a poor look, trying to be loyal.

“Now that Sacred Light Empire has such a secret method, why did you not tell me about that before?” Zhang Tie asked calmly.

“Who would reveal it to be under other’s control unless life or death situation…” Ockham said pitifully.

“Haven’t you been under other’s control before…”

“In Sacred Light Empire, most of the knights have to open their awareness and soul to someone on higher levels for more cultivation resources and greater power. In Sacred Light Church, this ritual is called baptism of deity; namely, the one being baptized would submit his fate to another one by opening his awareness and soul. During this process, the one being baptized would find a more powerful reliance as he joins a cult or faction of Sacred Light Church. When I promoted to a knight, I received this ritual from a halos priest of Sacred Light Empire. Pitifully, that halos priest has fought to death in the later stage of the 2nd holy war. Therefore, I’m free now. As I’m a halos priest of Sacred Light Empire, unless the incumbent pope abdicates voluntarily and seeks for a reliable one to take over of his position, nobody else across the country could baptize me…”

“Did you also control others using this secret method?”

“I baptized 3 throne priests in the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire…”

“Only 3?”

“The time of the baptism of deity is limited. As it undergoes between knights, a black iron knight could only baptize 2 people; an earth knight could baptize 3; a shadow knight 5, a heavenly knight 8. It’s said that a sage-level knight could make it 13. However, the baptism of deity poses high request on the baptizer. Each baptism would consume a lot of spiritual energy and part of the vital essence of the baptizer…” Ockham said with a bit bashful look, “Therefore, I could only control 3 although I could at most control 5 with my existing ability…”

‘What? Each baptism of deity would consume vital essence?’ Zhang Tie slightly frowned, ‘Isn’t it like the animal controlling skill in the Great Wilderness Sutra ? Could it be said that the baptism of the deity of the Sacred Light Empire shares the same principle with the secret method in the Great Wilderness Sutra or Ockham’s expression is incorrect? The “vital essence” that he mentioned might be utterly different than that consumed by triggering the secret method in the Great Wilderness Sutra .’

“Well, I’d like to check your baptism of deity before determining whether to keep you alive or not…” Zhang Tie said calmly.

“Okay, okay. The baptism of deity is similar to the pattern of enlightenment in process. Only by putting your hand onto my head and receiving my awareness would you understand it…”

Zhang Tie then put his hand onto Ockham’s head as he closed his eyes…

A few minutes later, Zhang Tie suddenly opened his eyes out of shock.

Even though Zhang Tie had made well preparation for it, he still couldn’t curb his surprise…

If not being proficient in many secret skills of the Great Wilderness Sutra , Zhang Tie would not be shocked that much. As Zhang Tie excelled at the “incarnation” skill of “Great Wilderness Sutra”, he found that the so-called baptism of deity was akin to the “incarnation” skill of Great Wilderness Sutra . Actually, it shared a central ideology with the “incarnation” skill of Great Wilderness Sutra , plus the essence of two other secret methods.

This modification was basically based on regarding knights as mutated beasts as an “animal controller”. That was why the process would consume the baptizer’s vital essence. Zhang Tie even discovered the trace of a secret method of Bloody Soul Sutra that could sow one’s soul in other’s 8 senses…

Those who could fuse different secret methods and create a wholly new secret method was definitely a top genius. Even Zhang Tie couldn’t do it as such a secret method required him to master both the animal controlling skill of theGreat Wilderness Sutra and the soul sowing method of Bloody Soul Sutra. Perhaps, the creator didn’t read the complete version of the Great Wilderness Sutra and Bloody Soul Sutra , he could only speculate some know-how. Therefore, this baptism of deity was not consummated.

This imperfection was reflected in the number of knights that could be baptized. Additionally, this process couldn’t be started until the one voluntarily opened his awareness and soul to the baptizer…

If the creator of this secret method could have the Great Wilderness Sutra and theBloody Soul Sutra , he would be able to control knights as many as he wanted and treat knights as his own pets and slaves…

When Zhang Tie realized that, he couldn’t help but quiver a bit. That was really terrifying. Although Zhang Tie mastered the Great Wilderness Sutra and the Bloody Soul Sutra , he couldn’t further improve the baptism of deity. Because another secret method that was used to connect the two utterly different secret methods which Zhang Tie had not heard of…

In a split second, a whim occurred to Zhang Tie’s mind——the extermination of the Great Wilderness Sect and the Bloody Soul Temple might not be a pure coincidence. Perhaps the culprit who toppled over the Great Wilderness Sect and the Bloody Soul Temple was related to the creator of this baptism of deity…

What a terrifying and shocking presumption…
