Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

299 The High Priest’s Final Struggle
The high priest couldn’t help but think of what Ye Xuan had said that the process would be a little painful, which should have been normal.

However, this was only the beginning. Immediately after, all of the high priest’s essence was absorbed. The high priest frowned, feeling that something was not right.

“M-Master…”

As if he knew what he was going to say, Ye Xuan continued, “It will be a little painful during the process, but it will pass quickly. I have high hopes for you.”

The last sentence had a deeper meaning.

The high priest couldn’t say that he couldn’t even bear this little pain. It would inevitably make Ye Xuan look down on him, and he might even be disappointed and withdraw all his previous plans. The high priest could only grit his teeth and bear it.

But this was only the beginning. Indescribable pain swept through his body, and the high priest could clearly feel that his vitality was being drained faster and faster. An inexplicable fear emerged in his heart.

If this continued, he would probably be devoured by the altar.

It didn’t seem like Ye Xuan was extracting the altar’s power into his body. Instead, he was being offered as a sacrifice!

Once this thought emerged, it could not be dismissed. However, the high priest looked at Ye Xuan’s expression and did not find any clues.

How could his master do such a thing?

Although the high priest’s current body was not human, even he could not bear the pain. The fear welled up in his heart. Even a creature like him was afraid of facing death.

At the risk of angering Ye Xuan, the high priest braced himself and said, “This subordinate is really not blessed enough to enjoy it. Master, why don’t you just forget about it this time?”

Ye Xuan didn’t care and increased the speed of his incantation. He originally thought that the altar’s power would be able to finish off the high priest quickly, but it seemed like it still needed some time.

But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, the high priest was a relatively important figure.

At this moment, the high priest was already suspicious. Ye Xuan had to speed up the process. If the high priest managed to break free, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Ah!”

The high priest let out a shrill scream. Because of the pain, his voice had become twisted and hoarse. It had become even more unpleasant to hear than before.

His originally thin body, coupled with the loss of life force, made him look no different from a skeleton. It was as if the skeleton was covered with a thin layer of skin, which looked very terrifying and disgusting.

“Master, I don’t want power anymore! Please show mercy, Master.”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s indifference, the high priest gritted his teeth and wanted to leave the altar himself, but he found that he couldn’t leave at all. It was as if he had become one with the entire altar. Even if he used all his strength, he could only move half a step, nothing more.

If the spell had not been so powerful at the start, the high priest would have been able to leave easily.

However, his trust in Ye Xuan had allowed him to stay on the altar for too long. The power of the incantation had long been integrated into his bones, and he couldn’t leave at all.

No matter how stupid the high priest was, he also realized that something was wrong with Ye Xuan.

“Who the h*ll are you? You’re not Master! What do you want to do?”

The shrill voice was accompanied by a roar, like some kind of beast. Ye Xuan looked at the high priest’s terrified expression and knew that he had already mostly succeeded.

He knew that the villains would die if they spoke about their plans for too long, and this principle applied to himself as well, so he did not want to say much to the high priest.

Even if he was suspicious, so what? Unless the high priest could solve the current predicament, he would not be able to settle the score with Ye Xuan later.

The high priest saw that Ye Xuan didn’t speak and only stared at him with hatred as if he wanted to eat him up. The high priest’s dark words seemed to drift out from hell.

“I didn’t expect that you weren’t possessed…”

No matter how unbelievable the truth was, the high priest could only think of this possibility. Otherwise, there was no other way to explain Ye Xuan’s actions.

What kind of person was his master? Coupled with the effect of that heart, to think that Ye Xuan’s body was not taken over by his master. This kind of situation was simply a fantasy and an impossible thing to happen.

“Who the h*ll are you?! What happened to the heart?”

Many questions appeared in the high priest’s mind. Could it be that he had failed from the very beginning?

At this moment, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Not only did his thousand-year plan fail, but all his efforts were also going to be buried with him. One could imagine how aggrieved he was.

Ye Xuan didn’t answer directly but gave an ambiguous answer. “I’m naturally me. You should take care of yourself first.”

Although he didn’t say it directly, the information revealed in his words made the high priest’s eyes pop out of their sockets. If Ye Xuan wasn’t possessed, then how did he learn this spell and how did he get the altar to start up?

At this moment, the high priest was almost on his last breath. He couldn’t care so much at all. He let out a strange laugh, and it could be said that he hated Ye Xuan to the bone.

“Even if I die, I’ll drag you, a lowly ant, down with me!”

The high priest let out a sharp cry as if he was summoning something.

Ye Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

There was a faint rustling sound in the darkness as if something was approaching.

The humanoid creatures that had been intimidated by the aura surged forward again. In the corners that Ye Xuan couldn’t see, he could feel countless eyes on him.

Sh*t! He had forgotten about these things. He had never thought that the high priest would be able to summon these things in his final struggle.

Those humanoid creatures probably had some apprehensions and did not dare to approach the altar earlier, so he was still safe at the moment.
