There was a thirty minutes break before the final match. The Tao tribal clan took this opportunity to hold a ritual and a prayer before the ancestral artifact was taken out.
The ritual involved slaughtering a cow and the dancing and chanting by two witches, who had their faces smeared with cow blood.
A witch took out the Tao tribal clan's female sword component of the ancestral artifact and washed it with blood.
This was a necessary ritual the Tao tribal clan used when taking out the ancestral artifact. It was not needed when practicing or demonstrating. But the ancestral artifact would see blood when used against an enemy; hence, they had to hold a ritual to honor the souls of their ancestors within the ancestral artifact.
