“Je je, although your strength is a little lousy, as Lord Fiendgod’s blood feed, it’s barely adequate. Originally, you guys sending yourselves in saved us some trouble. Now … we can only personally take action and send you in.” The other person said with a weird laugh.
“Who the hell are you people? Why do you want to do this sort of thing that betrays the human race?” Hua Shujie interrogated.
“Well … You can call us … Holy Followers! Alright, surrender without resistance!” One of them said coolly.
…
When Ye Yuan and the rest rushed to the depths underground, they were struck dumbfounded by the scene before their eyes.
Beneath the ground was an enormous cavern. At this time, inside the entire cavern was filled with fiendish qi.
East, South, West, North, and Central; all five positions had five sacrificial altars constructed by no idea who.
At this moment, those zombies were all walking over towards the area surrounded by the sacrificial altars without heed for their lives. They were directly refined into a cloud of blood mist, then directly absorbed by the sacrificial altar in the middle.
“Brother Ye, why are these zombies all charging inside without any heed for their lives?” Sheng Jun was greatly shocked.
“These zombies were originally refined artificially. They are all controlled by people,” Ye Yuan said calmly.
“What? These zombies are all refined artificially? This … How many lives does this have to slaughter? Could it be that those super Holy Lands all don’t care?” Sheng Jun was utterly shocked by it.
The number of zombies underground here was probably more than 100 million. To refine so many zombies, wouldn’t it have to kill this many people?
Just what kind of faction could do it to such a degree?
“Martial artists under Tier 6 don’t count for anything in the Divine Realm. As long as it’s done a little covertly, gathering this sum was not something hard. I’m just curious, just what kind of force can accomplish this unbeknown to gods and ghosts,” Ye Yuan said with a grim expression.
From the Medicine King Hall’s destruction to various sorts of bizarre incidents happening in the Divine Realm, then to this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array presently, the Divine Realm that was calm on the surface was likely already surging with undercurrents long ago.
It was just that this faction concealed too deeply. Everyone had yet to become aware of its existence.
“This … Then we’re just going to watch them go offer up a sacrifice passively?” Sheng Jun said unresignedly.
With these many zombies, they could not kill all. After people died, evil qi would coalesce. And this area of extreme yin land was filled with powerful extreme yin qi. These zombies could fuse these two kinds of qi into evil yin qi.
The corrosive nature of evil yin qi was extremely strong. Using it to corrode array formations was most suitable.
Even though the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was an ancient top-tier grand array, along with the passing of time, its power was already greatly discounted.
Adding in the erosion of these evil yin qi, under the simultaneous attack from the fiendgod within and outside, the grand array was already teetering on the verge of collapse.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “It’s already too late! Unless there are still Deity Realm powerhouses in this world, there will be no way to reinforce this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array. Otherwise, even if we kill finish these zombies, it’s of no help to the matter too. The fiendgod coming into being is an unstoppable trend!”
Sheng Jun sucked in a breath deeply and could not help becoming worried about the Divine Realm’s situation in the future.
In the Divine Realm, regarding the descriptions of the fiend race, it merely existed in legends. Only in some ancient records would it occasionally mention the fiend race.
This stretch of boundless and limitless continent had always been under the rule of the human race and demon race.
“Legend has it that in the desolate era, the human race and the fiend race once fought an earth-shaking great war. Originally thought that these were merely just legends, didn’t think that they were actually true! If it’s in accordance with how ancient records narrate it, the human race and fiend race are still mortal enemies. Most likely, the human race is really going to plunge into misery and suffering!” Sheng Jun said.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “The fiend race is not just a legend. They have always existed in the Divine Realm. It’s just that they were not known to people. 50 thousand years ago, there was a fellow who proclaimed to be a Heavenly Fiendgod that came roaring into existence. Unfortunately, he ran into a genius martial artist from the human race and was beaten until he fled with heavy injuries.”
Sheng Jun was taken aback from shock. Only now did he know that the Divine Realm actually still had such secrets.
It was just that with Ye Yuan’s age, how did he know this kind of secrets? This Ye Yuan really made people unable to fathom!
“Brother Ye, then are we just going to stare blankly right now? Are we going to wait the fiendgod to come into being?” Sheng Jun said.
“How can that be? You rest and rehabilitate here for a moment, I’ll go set up the formation!”
Ye Yuan leaped and started bustling about inside this cave.
Before long, a large-scale array formation gradually had an elementary form.
When Sheng Jun saw the elementary form of this array formation, his expression could not help changing slightly, and he asked Wu Siyuan, “Elder Wu, could this array formation that Brother Ye is laying down be the Crimson Afterglow’s undisclosed secret? How can a mere Tier 6 array formation be so complex?”
Chapter 839. Asura Confounding Formation's True Power! |
Wu Siyuan shook his head blankly and said, “I’ve never seen this Tier 6 array formation before. But this array formation … gives my heart a feeling of palpitations!”
Sheng Jun shared the same feeling and said, “Indeed! Although I’m a major realm higher than him, I feel that if I enter this array formation, I’ll probably never come out again! I truly didn’t expect that Brother Ye actually had such high attainments in the Dao of Array Formations!”
This array formation that Ye Yuan laid down was precisely his pinnacle work in the Formations Path at present, the Asura Confounding Formation!
Along with the increase in cultivation, Ye Yuan could already fully set up this array formation.
Back then, when he was still at the Sea Transformation Realm, he blocked the entire Purple Mansion Sect’s attack by relying on this array formation, playing the Purple Mansion Sect’s late-stage Soul Sea experts in the palm of his hands.
Now, Ye Yuan was already God knows how many times stronger than back then. The array formation set up naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.
This array formation was also his greatly killing tool in the Formations Path!
What Ye Yuan set up back then was merely the Greater Confounding Formation which was not equipped with the functions of a killing formation.
But now, Ye Yuan was already able to integrate the killing formation inside and could unleash this array formation to the limits!
As for whether or not it could stop the fiendgod, that was unknown.
Following the passing of time, the fiendish qi in the cave became increasingly vigorous. That horrifying pressure made everyone have a feeling of wanting to escape.
On that sacrificial altar in the middle, fiendish qi erupted like a volcano, causing the entire cave to tremble.
Right then, Ye Yuan finally finished setting the formation. He was hit with exhaustion at this time too.
This array formation being set up till the end, he expended tremendous physical strength and mental strength too. He consumed several medicinal pills on the spot and started recovering his strength.
Rumble …
An enormous tremor reverberated throughou
t the entire cave.
Ye Yuan opened both eyes abruptly and said with a solemn expression, “It’s coming!”
Everyone’s expression became fearful, looking at that sacrificial altar in the center without shifting their eyes.
Countless black gas spouted out, finally condensing to form a fiendish black shadow!
“Hahaha … How many tens of thousands of years has it been! This Seat finally broke free! Damn humans, be prepared to receive this Seat’s wrath! Yii? There are still some small fries here. Didn’t expect that right after coming out, there are people taking the initiative to deliver themselves to the doorstep to become this Seat’s blood feed!”
The black shadow emitted a low and deep voice, akin to waves of muffled thunder.
The black shadow actually allowed no explanation, heading straight for Ye Yuan’s direction in a surprise attack!
Boom!
A ball of black gas directly smashed onto everyone’s bodies, smashing Ye Yuan’s group of people into a cloud of blood mist!
“Hahaha … I absorb! En?”
The fiendgod was just planning to absorb the mass of blood mist when he suddenly discovered something amiss.
“Looks like I underestimated this bunch of trash, to actually let this Seat fall for an illusionary array imperceptibly! Hehe, playing hide and seek? This Seat’s mood today is excellent. I’ll accompany you all to play!”
The fiendgod surveyed the surroundings and started to find the figures of Ye Yuan and the rest.
In the array formation, everyone had a lingering fear.
Sheng Jun was somewhat shuddering in retrospect as he said, “Brother Ye, all thanks to your array formation! Otherwise, we’d probably be killed by this fiendgod in one exchange!”
Ye Yuan said with a grim expression, “Truly didn’t expect that this fiendgod can still preserve such strength after being trapped for several tens of thousands of years by the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array! Just how powerful was he at his peak period?”
Although everyone avoided the fiendgod’s attack just now by relying on the Asura Confounding Formation, the might of the fiendgod was still deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind.
“Brother Ye, what should we do now?” Sheng Jun said.
“In a while, everybody, listen to my arrangement. I’ll manipulate the array formation and continuously expend that fiendgod’s strength … understood?”
Ye Yuan carried out arrangements for each person. Borrowing the truth and deception of the array formation could bring to play their strength to the limits.
Boom!
The fiendgod demolished an illusion with an attack again.
Chiii!
An attack came out from the void, rumbling straight for the fiendgod.
But the fiendgod just lightly waved and directly wiped out that attack.
“Not having a physical body is indeed very troublesome. Looks like I still have to seize possession of a human’s body first! That damn Daoist Absolute Heaven, he actually used the Vast Heaven Stele to destroy my physical body!” the fiendgod said slowly.
The surroundings continuously had Ye Yuan and co.’s attacks transmitting over. But these attacks could not cause any threat to the fiendgod.
He obliterated these attacks with a wave of his hand.
Regardless whether was it Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists’ attacks or Phaseless Realm martial artists’ attacks.
“Surging Floodwaters!”
After a concentrated series of attacks, a peerlessly powerful attack pierced right through the void, landing heavily on the fiendgod’s main body!
“ARGHHH … !”
The fiendgod gave a miserable cry, his body flying out backward.
After a round of indiscriminate bombardment, Ye Yuan’s plan finally succeeded!
“Excellent! I even thought that this guy is invincible. Turns out he will sustain injuries too!”
“It’s still Lord Black Flood Dragon’s attack that’s powerful. This move, even I’m scared when I see it. The fiendgod suffering this attack, he will be heavily wounded if not dead, right?”
“Young Lord Ye’s array formation is indeed miraculous, to actually be able to let attacks shuttle through the void and directly attack the fiendgod’s main body.”
The crowd of martial artists was all incredibly excited to see Blackwind’s attack succeed.
But Ye Yuan said with a grave expression, “It’s still early! If the fiendgod is so easy to deal with, it wouldn’t be a fiendgod! With the strength of a major ancient power, it could only suppress him here too. How can he be so easy to take care of?”
Ye Yuan’s voice had yet to fade when a series of intense quaking sounds echoed. The grand array was actually shaking!
“Little tras, congratulations! You’ve successfully infuriated this Seat! Even the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array couldn’t trap this Seat. Just a lousy illusionary array, I want to see how many times it can withstand this seat’s attacks!”
The fiendgod’s voice transmitted into each person’s ears, startling everybody.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fiendgod went seemingly insane, bombarding the grand array non-stop. And the Asura Confounding Formation started trembling violently under his attacks too.
“Not good, if we let him carry on attacking like this, the grand array will be breached sooner or later!” Ye Yuan said with a solemn look.
It was still Ye Yuan’s first time encountering such a troublesome opponent. Even the Asura Confounding Formation could not trap him.
Luckily, this fiendgod’s strength was already very debilitated from being sealed for too long a time. Or else, he could probably destroy the Asura Confounding Formation with a wave of his hand.
“What to do, Brother Ye? Once the grand array is breached, we’ll be without any barriers at all! This fiendgod is truly formidable. We … are probably not his match!”
Through a round of probing, these martial artists had long seen the fiendgod’s might already.
Facing the fiendgod head-on, they felt rather fearful just thinking about it.
Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “The Asura Confounding Formation probably can’t be preserved anymore. Since that’s the case, I’ll let him witness the truly formidable aspect of the Asura Confounding Formation!”
Ye Yuan sent everyone out of the array formation and mustered up all of the essence energy in his body to deploy the array formation!
All of a sudden, the entire grand array started flashing!
Above the firmament, countless sword lights actually condensed!
“What?!” The fiendgod stopped his attacks, incomparably shocked as he looked at the sword lights in the air.
Chapter 840. Battling the Fiendgod! |
Within the void, there were countless virtual sword images suspended.
This was the fifth-stage supreme true intent Ye Yuan displayed by merging his sword intent into the Asura Confounding Formation and borrowing the power of the grand array!
This Asura Confounding Formation after Ye Yuan improved it, the power of the killing formation was even stronger than the original version!
Sharp swords hung high above, even someone as powerful as the fiendgod turned pale with fright too.
“Asura Confounding Formation, Myriad Sword Piercing the Heart! Kill!”
Ye Yuan roared, countless long swords streaked through countless streams of flowing light in the grand array, rushing towards the all-powerful fiendgod!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Yuan himself did not have such boundless essence energy, but the grand array did!
In an instant, the Asura Confounding Formation extracted the essence energy within all of the earth essence crystals dry. The power could be imagined!
The place the fiendgod stood at was immediately blasted to residue by countless streaks of sword light, stirring up clouds of dust.
“So … So powerful! Just a Tier 6 grand array, this power �
�� is also too terrifying, right?” Sheng Jun muttered.
This scene was too shocking, resulting in him not thinking whether or not the fiendgod was finished off right away, but astonishment at the might of the grand array.
“Young Lord Ye is mighty! Such a terrifying attack, there’s no way that fiendgod can survive, right?”
“Hahaha, what bullshit fiendgod, I think it’s nothing more than this! Wasn’t he still finished off all at once!”
After the shock, the martial artists were all incredibly excited.
Originally thought that doomsday was arriving, didn’t expect that this fiendgod was merely nothing more than this.
Whoosh!
Ye Yuan’s figure slowly landed in front of everyone, saying with a serious expression, “Everybody, be on guard. The fiendgod isn’t so easy to be disposed of! Without the grand array’s protection, we’re going to have a direct confrontation with him!”
Everyone’s excited expressions could not help choking up. Even such a terrifying attack could not kill the fiendgod?
This … No way, right?
Whoosh … Bang!
There was a blur before everyone’s eyes. They had yet to recover to their senses when a dark shadow already arrived in front.
A streak of black light smacked directly onto a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist’s body. He immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
All of this happened too suddenly. Everyone was still half-dubious about Ye Yuan’s words, and the fiendgod actually attacked again!
Without the grand array’s shielding, a martial artist instantly died on Ye Yuan’s side.
Everyone turned pale with fright and hastily retreated.
The fiendgod did not have the intention of following up either. He just greedily absorbed that cloud of blood mist.
Ye Yuan’s expression changed. The fiendgod’s aura was actually getting strong!
Without a doubt, that attack earlier proved effective. The fiendgod’s aura was weakened substantially compared to before. But at this time, he was actually in the midst of gradually recovering!
“This fellow can actually absorb the essence and blood of martial artists to recover strength! Everybody be careful!” Ye Yuan said with a solemn expression.
