Chapter 1277: Chapter 527: Battle Against a Fifth Order Awakener

"Fifth Order Awakener?"

The man surrounded by the others, he turned out to be a Fifth Order Awakener.

Wang Tao knew that he certainly wasn’t the only Fifth Order Awakener, but he had not expected to find one in a medium-sized base like this.

Normally, a base of this scale would have difficulty producing a Fifth Order Awakener, after all Changhe Base had yet to birth another Fifth Order Awakener apart from Wang Tao... But considering the abnormalities at Mammoth Base, Wang Tao wasn’t too surprised.

[HP: 150,000/150,000]

[Mana: 50,000/50,000]

[Level: Fifth Level]

[Internal Impurity: 90%]

[Awakening: Rock Shield]

[Rock Shield: Shield duration increases all physical attributes, significantly enhancing defensive power]

This person had an HP of 150,000 and a mana of 50,000, which was quite decent, and nothing like the Awakeners who were barely making it.

As for his Awakening... It must be an Earth-system Awakener, and since there were no rocks forming on his skin, it was most likely an active release type of Awakening.

From the description, this shield could be broken, or even if it couldn’t be broken, it had a duration limit. During the shield’s active period, his combat strength was not weak, his physical condition was enhanced, and his defensive power significantly increased. But once the shield disappeared, his combat strength would decrease a lot...

Like those Level 4 Awakeners before, this Level 5 Awakener had even higher Internal Impurity—those Level 4 Awakeners were around 80%, while this Level 5 had reached 90%!

Such a high degree of Internal Impurity had a chance of turning into zombies!

If a Fifth Order Awakener could have such high Internal Impurity, Wang Tao suspected that when they Ascended, their Impurity didn’t reduce by half... But Wang Tao had never seen such a scenario; from all the Awakeners he had seen, their Internal Impurities always halved upon Ascension!

Therefore, Wang Tao felt that the way they Ascended might be different from what he had thought. Could it really be through "sacrifice"?

Wang Tao frowned.

In just a short moment, Wang Tao had pondered many things.

And perhaps because these people were so focused, they hadn’t noticed Wang Tao’s entrance. They kept chanting something incomprehensible to Wang Tao. The man in the center still had his eyes closed.

Wang Tao had thought that Hu Zhe would yell loudly, commanding these people to attack him. But to Wang Tao’s surprise, Hu Zhe kept his mouth tightly shut, his expression devout, as if he feared breaking the atmosphere here.

"Where are those people?"

Wang Tao directly asked Hu Zhe.

He did not recognize the people from Ocean Base, so he was not sure whether any of those kneeling or tightly bound were among them.

Hu Zhe seemed not to have expected Wang Tao to suddenly speak. He jumped in fright and looked at Wang Tao with a face full of horror, wanting to say something but not daring to make a sound.

Wang Tao’s voice was not loud, but it was very clear in this environment.

The prayer stopped instantly, and those kneeling around opened their eyes. They either looked up or turned around, their gazes on Wang Tao dead and empty.

These people were all ordinary Level 3 ability users, but being stared at by them gave Wang Tao an uncomfortable feeling.

They all remained silent, like one dead person after another.

Hu Zhe at this moment knelt down, prostrating himself. His body trembled like a sieve, and his forehead oozed with a copious amount of cold sweat.

This made Wang Tao frown. After all, Hu Zhe was a Level 4 Awakener, and also the Vice Head of Mammoth Base. How could he be so afraid and humble?

It seemed very likely then that the muscle-bound man surrounded in the center was the Head of Mammoth Base.

At that moment, the muscle-bound man finally opened his eyes.

Looking at the few uninvited guests that appeared before him, his face was calm, as if he had always known someone was coming, or as if he simply didn’t care. He only looked towards Hu Zhe, his voice hoarse as he said:

"Do you know the consequences of interrupting a sacrifice?"

"I, I know... But it wasn’t deliberate... I didn’t expect that you had started the sacrifice..."

Hu Zhe’s tone trembled as he spoke.

His words made Wang Tao understand that Hu Zhe probably wasn’t in the area before. If there were rules against disturbances, seeing his frightened state, he definitely wouldn’t have brought Wang Tao in.

"Good that you know, then deal with it yourself."

The muscle-bound man said indifferently.

At these words, the prostrate Hu Zhe trembled even more violently. He quickly lifted his head to plead for mercy.

"Boss, I, I really didn’t do it on purpose..."

"Enough."

The muscle-bound man waved his hand casually.

Suddenly, Hu Zhe’s body stiffened, and blood started to pour from his eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, and other places.

The blood flowed faster and faster, and in larger quantities, until it finally gushed out.

Wang Tao, pulling Jiang Shixue and Lightning, immediately retreated to avoid getting splattered with too much blood.

In an instant, Hu Zhe’s body became dried up, like an emptied bag of skin. The blood that flowed out seemed to move with intelligence on the ground, forming complex patterns before sinking into the earth and disappearing from sight.

The muscle-bound man and those involved in the sacrifice kept a nondescript look on their faces as they observed, as if accustomed to the sight.

And those stripped of their clothes and bound tightly were filled with panic and trembling violently. However, something was stuffed in their mouths, so they couldn’t make a sound.

Only then did the muscle-bound man turn to look at Wang Tao with a gaze that seemed to view him as a dead man.

"You dared to interrupt the sacrifice to the Stone God, an offense punishable by death. Do you know the crime?"

Stone God? Discovering a new clue, Wang Tao silently took note. He had been wondering if this so-called Evil God was related to the Dusk Church, but now it seemed that they were not the same group.
