Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Activation of the Godly Altar
```
With the blueprint at hand, exoskeleton armor was gradually crafted into shape under the deft hands of Shen Yurou.
Looking at the attributes of the exoskeleton armor, Zi Liyuan couldn't help but want to hug her and plant several kisses on her, exclaiming, "Awesome!"
Not to mention its attack power and range, the mere fact that it amplified physical strength by 25% made its value immeasurable!
This was a percentage amplification of a basic attribute!
Just imagine equipping a Blood Ox defense warrior with this thing—the thickness of their tank-like durability could soar through several levels!
"Insane, this is just the simplest form of exoskeleton armor. Starting from this prototype and continuously upgrading it, wouldn't the attributes of subsequent models be earth-shattering?"
Zi Liyuan tapped the armor and couldn't wait to don it, beginning to test the armor's performance.
Running, jumping, punching, kicking... Every action he performed felt smooth and natural rather than clunky.
When he picked up the exoskeleton armor's sole weapon, a 1.5-meter-long black sniper rifle, the suit could even assist in targeting.
An outrageous black technology creation!
"This thing is too difficult to make, especially since it requires a Goblin's unstable energy cell. I can't produce that for now; I can only refurbish existing unstable energy cells, which is quite troublesome. Right now, we only have this one piece."
As the tests proceeded, Shen Yurou, with reddened eyes and weariness coloring her features, also revealed a hint of a smile.
Initially, she had only bought one "Goblin Lumbering Machine Armor - Model One." After she disassembled and utilized it, there was only one portion of an unstable energy cell left, so she couldn't immediately make another suit of this kind of armor—it was as if a good chef couldn't cook without rice.
"One piece is enough; wearing this thing, you can move freely in the central boss zone, although a 12-hour operational duration is a bit short."
The Goblin's unstable energy cells were highly unreliable. Taken individually, the energy output was unstable, with a risk of exploding.
It was only after some modifications and limiting the power output that Shen Yurou managed to avoid the risk of the exoskeleton armor exploding.
However, after her modifications and restrictions, the operational capability was reduced to 12 hours, whereas the Goblin Lumbering Armor could last 24 hours.
"You rest well for half a day; we need to enter the central boss zone before midnight tonight."
It took seven days to research the blueprint and three days to craft this piece of exoskeleton armor. The second phase of the martial trial instance was nearing its end.
And with the arrival of the third phase, those from the Heretical Sect would launch their final sacrifice to summon the Evil God into the instance.
The will of the Evil God from the Sea of Realms, called to the Blue Star instance—what kind of template would this entity have?
Lord? Or perhaps even an epic or legendary one?
It surely wouldn't be an Emperor or a God-tier because the origin of the martial trial instance was limited and couldn't sustain the arrival of such a powerful being.
Initially, Zi Liyuan was reluctant to join in on this commotion, but the body of the Evil God was too enticing!
If he could seize the body of the Evil God, then upon completing his third-order transformation and unlocking the Necromancer's Resurrection skill, couldn't he bind and control a body of the Evil God?
A mere hellish demonic puppet was just a hero template, and its attributes on Blue Star were already outrageously powerful. An undead creature with a Lord or higher template? Wouldn't their attributes be insanely explosive?
Therefore, he had to join in on the excitement. Whoever dared to stand in his way, he would dare to kick them out of the martial trial instance!

——
In the center of the city, an abandoned underground structure.
"Number Seven, the Descending Spirit Altar has been completed. Is the sealed Lord Boss ready?"
Number Two stood outside the altar, gazing at the altar tainted with the blood of countless monsters, a crimson light gleaming in his eyes.
"As per your request, I've reduced the Lord Boss's health to 10% and then sealed it within the Blood Pool Bead. It's been ready for a while now."
Number Seven stood a few meters away, clutching a blood-red gem the size of a human head. Within the gem, blood surged as the frenzied Lord Boss unleashed massive waves of blood.
"Number Seven, place the Blood Pool Bead into the recess at the center of the Descending Spirit Altar. When the third phase arrives, we'll be able to activate the altar and summon our god."
Number Two gave Number Seven a wooden look, his gaze scanning the surroundings before he continued.
"My task is complete. Bring me my reward, and the rest is up to you."
Number Two knew exactly what would happen once the sacrifice began; he had no intention of staying and becoming fodder for the Evil God.
"Number Two, after the Descending Spirit ritual begins, you can receive the Evil God's blessing. Are you really willing to give up such a great opportunity?"
Number Seven's eyes were cold, and he was well aware of what would unfold once the Evil God arrived. He had already made arrangements for everything, yet he had no intention of letting Number Two, who disobeyed orders, off the hook.
"Hmph, I only want the reward I'm due. As for the Evil God's blessing, haha…"
Number Two let out a cold laugh, his eyes fixing on Number Seven. Within his blood-red pupils, a blood-colored hexagram emerged, as if it would burst forth any second and transform into a blood-red cage to trap and ensnare everything before him.
"Bloodline insignia, truly fearsome. Number Two, you've grown stronger. This is what you wanted."
A flicker of fear crossed Number Seven's eyes. After a moment of silence, he took out a scroll and tossed it to the other, then handed the Blood Pool Bead to a subordinate next to him.
"Go, place the Blood Pool Bead into the central recess of the Descending Spirit Altar."
"Yes, my lord!"
The subordinate cradled the Blood Pool Bead with both hands, carefully ascending the altar, avoiding the spirit glyphs drawn with the blood and flesh of monster bosses. He made his way to the center of the altar.
With great care, he placed the Blood Pool Bead into a divinely-carved recess in the center of the altar. As soon as the bead was placed, the entire altar seemed to come to life.
The spirit glyphs on the ground gradually turned into blood-red pulses and began to throb rhythmically.
Crimson blood mist started to gather above the altar, slowly condensing into blood droplets, which eventually merged together, forming a floating pool of blood hanging above the altar.
The countless pieces of monster flesh and bone strewn around began to float, bit by bit integrating into the blood pool, slowly dissolving into various energies.
Just then, frantic roars started resonating from the Blood Pool Bead at the center, as a massive phantom emerged, projected from the bead.
Fear, endless and boundless fear, surged in the hearts of everyone present as if hell had descended, as if an abyss had opened up.
Feeling trepidation in their spirits, everyone present fell into panic, as if they were about to face death at the next moment!
"Teehee~ What delightful food~ Gargle~ Exuding the sweet fragrance~ Haha~ Powerless and feeble souls, become a part of this god~ Heehee~"
