Chapter 290: Chapter 226: Gods Bleed (2) (2nd Update)_2
Beings of this tier were immensely powerful, and upon their fall, anomalies would occur in heaven and earth, as if mourning their deaths.
The sight made everyone around quiver, not in anger, but in terror.
Because the Yin-Yang Taoist had an ancient background, and had lived through many eras, all while maintaining immense strength. Even amongst everyone present, he was among the most formidable.
And yet, now his body was drenched in blood, even his God Soul perishing, with no opportunity to reincarnate. He was thoroughly dead.
“Everyone, this creature is too powerful. Activate The Fourth Killing Formation and slay this fiend. She has lingered in the Lower Realm for such a long time; she might have obtained the legendary Defying Chapter. If we slay her, we can transcend normality and reach the heights of the Great Taoist!” Simultaneously, beings at the Sect Leader Level roared, plunging into complete madness. It felt as if the legendary treasure was within their grasp, almost within reach.
The next moment-
Heaven and Earth-
A vast sacrificial altar appeared, seemingly from the ancient past. Its grandeur filled the entire sky in an instant, suppressing everything, desiring to refine all life-forms.
Upon the altar were visible patches of blood, still bright.
Even after the passage of countless eras, they hadn’t dried up and maintained their original state, dazzling, testament to the powerful life-forms that had been there. Although dead and gone, they continued to recount the cruelty of that great battle.
“The Fourth Killing Formation…” Jiang Hui trembled in his heart.
He hadn’t expected such a horrifying and ancient formation to reappear in broad daylight.
The fluctuations emitted from the altar were too terrifying. Even from a great distance, despite the protection of the Utopia Array, he still felt a chill filled with brutality, capable of annihilating all life-forms, vanishing any vitality.
He vaguely remembered that Cao Yu Sheng, also known as Duan De of the Overarching Era, had incorporated the Third Killing Formation, born from the Chaos, into his being.
Since ancient times, its renown had been fierce, mainly slaying Supreme Giants of the Upper Realm, sweeping everything before it. It was even more terrifying than The Fourth Killing Formation. Even a single misstep by the Immortals could lead to disaster. Its fame had been dyed with the blood of Supreme Giants.
Jiang Hui contemplated, and decided to set up these killing formations to accompany him – not too many, a few thousand or tens of thousands would suffice. One shouldn’t be too greedy. He’d leave the rest to other people.
Just as Jiang Hui was pondering –
The ongoing battle reached its fiercest point
in the boundless sky, the Willow Branches swayed, the Formation revolved, causing thunderous noises. The Chaotic Aura filled everything, marking the impending catastrophe-
That very day-
An unknown number of stars outside the Wilderness Area were shaken apart.
The sky was even split apart, causing the star rivers to flow backward-
But, eventually, the grand battle moved towards its conclusion.
The peerless Willow God summoned the legendary Primitive Gate to withstand the Killing Formation. She also lured many Sect Leader Level life-forms into a realm of Chaos-
“It’s over!” Jiang Hui withdrew his frame of mind.
Others couldn’t witness these scenes, but he could see it all clearly.
Heaven and Earth returned to peace.
All of the hallmarks of power had pursued the Willow God and left.
They had stepped through that door, entering a mysterious realm. They might experience great peril, but could also garner great fortune.
However, Jiang Hui knew that the catastrophe hadn’t truly ended.
Because the undying beast, the progeny of the suppressed Kun Peng on the Five Elements Mountain, hadn’t made an appearance, and the Seven Gods hadn’t descended to the Lower Realm.
But, that would need some time to ferment. Even if the great powers of the Upper Realm used blood sacrifices to forcefully summon their chosen False Gods to the Lower Realm, it would still require ample preparation.
Besides, compared to the Divine Enthronement, the remaining matters were simply trivial to Jiang Hui.
“It’s just the right time!” Jiang Hui’s Five Senses covered the surroundings.
After secretly observing for a while, he took a step forward.
He hadn’t forgotten those colossal corpses. They were rare treasures; now was the time to collect them.
Jiang Hui had reached the Void Path Realm. With a single step, he could traverse tens of thousands of miles. He easily crossed the Boundary Sea and arrived at the battlefield within a dozen steps.
At first glance, the searing blood of the colossal heads resembled molten lava. Hot and dazzling.
In the cracks of the mountains, large chunks of rotting flesh the size of small hills were strewn about. Their faint Chaotic Aura pervaded the place like a dense fog, obscuring vision. It was also filled with a stinging stench of decay- It was that Chaotic Body.
After the bloodshed, the chaotic aura within it went wild and uncontrolled, turning a valley into a forbidden life area, where ordinary mortals could easily lose their way and possibly even be refined by Chaos Qi.
Jiang Hui would not waste it. The flesh and blood of the Chaotic Body had no use for him, but the strands of Chaos Qi were of some value. He could take them back to refine or give them to his followers.
With a wave of his hand, he gathered all the mist into his sleeve.
After all this.
Jiang Hui also collected the bodies of the Yin-Yang Taoist, Immortal Supreme, and the other three.
However, their bodies were severely damaged.
Especially the Yin-Yang Taoist, who once slaughtered the kingdom of Willow
God, naturally suffered the most punishment. Even his God Soul was annihilated, and his entire body was almost charred, with only a few drops of blood falling…
Jiang Hui had to make do with whatever he had.
After a while, there was a pile of broken flesh in front of him, all covered with a faint divine light, it can remain unrotten for ten thousand years.
“Looks like I’ve got everything!” Jiang Hui scanned again, and made sure there was nothing left to collect. He turned right around and left.
Even though his actions were considered sneaky, who cared if he acted like a bit of a thief? After all, he was a rising hero!
Time hurried on, and several days passed.
The anxiety in the hearts of the Earth’s creatures was finally relieved, and the morning sun rose in the eastern.
The creatures from Array Realm were the first to appear.
“The aura of these old giants still lingers, but where did their bodies and God’s blood go?” Some creatures in the Array Realm were puzzled.
They had planned to take a close look at the remains of these heavenly figures to find some opportunity for them; those supreme beings might have fallen, but their flesh and blood still held their past glory. If the creatures found anything, they would benefit for life.
However, when these creatures went forth, they found that the battlefield had been cleaned. As far as they could see, not even a drop of god’s blood was in sight, let alone corpses.
Except for the giant chunks of rotten meat.
That rotten meat, full of a strong death energy, they couldn’t approach at all; just touching it a little would cause their bodies to rot.
“Who is the heartless one that didn’t even leave something for us, at least a blood bead!!” Some of the creatures cursed in anger. They came here with hope, but were filled with disappointment in the end.
“After all, some people are born to gain an advantage, there’s no need to push for it. We are fortunate to be from the Array Realm, or else we would have been captured for elixir making!”
An old man in a coarse cloth robe spoke. He was old and hopeless, having detached himself from the world; now he was drinking and advising others as well.
“You old hag, your time is near to be so casual; we are young and have hundreds of years to live. Why should we be detached!”
Some young cultivators rebuked.
They recognized this old man, who often did inexplicable things, such as persuading brothel girls to be good and dragging home wives into the water and so forth. If people believed the old man’s advice, rest assured, they would be ruined one day!
Somewhere in the Wilderness Area.
Looking afar, the palaces were clustered together, like a row of jade buildings, hidden within the shadows of trees and having a roof that alternated between red and green glazed tiles and vermilion palace walls. The sight was majestic and spectacular.
This was the palace of the Ancient Country – Stone Kingdom.
Now.
On a high platform.
A young man stayed motionless until the stars appeared and the moonlight was cold, the surroundings were deeply quiet.
“Is that Gate the way to The Boundary Sea? But why is it so strange; even the great figures from the Upper Realm dare not to enter. The Willow God and Little Tower must be safe and sound!”
After a long time.
The young man finally spoke, his expression has a hint of melancholy, fearing that this would be a permanent farewell, never to be seen again..
