But as he did, Mo Hua suddenly froze.
“Sacrificial offerings…”
Why was he thinking about sacrificial offerings?
And moreover…
What would his sacrificial offerings be?
He looked at the two rows of bowed demon monster statues and then turned back to the empty offering table, his expression deep in thought for a moment, before being startled by his own ideas.
Mo Hua quickly shook his head, tucking away those impolite thoughts.
Now, the most important thing was the Fire Buddha’s Meteor Fire Skill!
If he did not steal it now, this powerful Forbidden Technique might remain forever out of his reach.
His purpose of improving the Forbidden Technique would be lost.
“Where exactly is the secret manual for the Meteor Fire Skill…”
Mo Hua tried to apply the Heavenly secret Tricky Calculation, merging it with the Heavenly secret Calculation, to deduce the altar.
But the altar seemed to hold some ancient breath that obscured the Heavenly secret of cause and effect, and Mo Hua couldn’t divine anything.
“Heavenly secret Calculation is not effective…”
Mo Hua felt a tinge of regret and then immediately realized it wasn’t that Heavenly secret Calculation wasn’t effective, but perhaps his own abilities were insufficient.
He couldn’t deduce the causality of the Meteor Fire Skill.
Yet, Mo Hua had an intuition that the Meteor Fire Skill was indeed hidden in the altar.
“Where could it be hidden?”
Mo Hua frowned.
He jumped back onto the altar and began to check carefully, from the corners, the edges, the rims, all the way to the offering table itself.
Mo Hua checked everything, but there was not a trace of a Formation.
Just then, Mo Hua heard a “boom” from outside.
It seemed that in the great hall, something shocking had happened.
Mo Hua was stunned.
“Has the battle been decided?”
“Or have Fire Buddha and his allies set another ambush?”
As Mo Hua pondered, the entrance to the altar opened, and then a strong, scorching aura of Spiritual Power emanated.
This aura was filled with Evil Qi.
Mo Hua’s expression changed.
Fire Buddha!
He had come back!
Mo Hua immediately employed the Five Elements Stealth Technique and skillfully rolled behind the altar, climbing onto the head of one of the large demon monster statues to obscure his form.
In just a moment, a kasaya-clad, pale-faced Fire Buddha returned with his arms covered in bloodstains torn by Wind Blades.
His aura was much weaker, and his two flaming hearts seemed somewhat spent.
“Damn Gu Changhuai!”
“Sooner or later, I’ll flay your skin, burn your blood dry, turn your flesh to ash, and vent the hatred in my heart!”
“Damn it…”
