Chapter 2398 Blood Array
“You are saving your master right now,” the voice in the golden talisman said.
"But……"
The three demons could hardly understand it.
It is clear that the Great Sage Jinqing and the Great Sage Moluo were trapped in the Arctic ice field and were captured by strange bone hands of unknown origin.
The two Great Sages are still missing. Instead of investigating the mastermind behind this and trying to rescue them as soon as possible, the 'Immortal' ordered them to come here and do some seemingly unrelated things.
Has the mastermind behind this already left the Arctic ice field and entered the Lotus Crossing Swamp?
The 'immortal' guessed their thoughts, pondered for a moment, and decided to reveal some secrets, "What captured your master may not be any powerful being or force, or even a living being. It may be the thing we've been searching for all along, and now... it's finally about to be born!"
The three demons looked at each other, wondering what the immortal was talking about. They could imagine that it must be something extraordinary.
"So Master and the others won't be in danger?" Yuanluo asked happily.
Since the Bone Hand isn't a ferocious creature, given the strength of Master and the others, it certainly won't perish so easily; on the contrary, they might have an advantage due to their proximity.
The immortal said, "It's too early to say. We always thought it was near the Lotus Crossing Marsh, but we never expected it to appear on the Arctic Ice Plains! But you must understand, we are not the only ones searching for that thing; it is something every Great Sage dreams of..."
“So we’re doing all this to mislead the Great Sages,” Yuanluo suddenly realized.
“Indeed, it was my fault for not thinking things through. I didn’t expect your master and the others to suddenly disappear. Now that they have been discovered, continuing to hide it will only arouse suspicion. The only option is to create a false impression,” the immortal said.
Yuanluo nodded, understanding dawning on her mind.
Their grand entrance and their actions in the Lotus Crossing Swamp attracted countless eyes. The Arctic Ice Zone was already a notoriously barren place, and with them drawing attention to the Lotus Crossing Swamp, no one would pay any special attention to it anymore.
The immortal could then arrange for his forces to search for and rescue his master across the Arctic ice plains.
Just then, a demon saint was engaged in a magical duel in the Lotus Crossing Swamp, which had already attracted the attention of various forces, and they seized the opportunity...
Ok?
Yuanluo realized that the battle between the demon saints that took place in the Lotus Crossing Marsh might also have been arranged by the immortal.
The fact that this immortal could simultaneously deploy forces in the distant Lotus Crossing Marsh and the Arctic Ice Plains indicates the existence of a powerful force that he could mobilize. This immortal must have more than just his master and the other two demon saints under his command.
Thinking of this, Yuanluo felt much more at ease.
but……
"Could some demon saints see through our weakness?" Yuanluo worried. She didn't doubt the immortal, but she lacked confidence in herself.
"Heh, truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth, who in this world can truly distinguish between them?"
The immortal smiled and said, "The Lotus Crossing Great Swamp hides countless secrets beyond your imagination. The ancient formation I had you activate is real, so don't worry."
Just then, the younger cousin couldn't help but interject, "Since that thing is so important, why doesn't the immortal descend to earth himself and take it away?"
I heard my grandfather say that there are many demon saints on this continent, but none of them have reached the realm of celestial demons. Since this person is called an immortal and is mysterious and unpredictable, there is likely a celestial demon behind him.
A single celestial demon descending to earth is enough to subdue all directions, and none dare disobey!
The immortal sighed softly, "Outside, this place is called the Lost Continent. As the name suggests, even the Heavenly Demons don't know where you are. I was able to contact you through an ancient treasure. This treasure is unique, and it can only be bestowed upon you by the interaction of heaven and earth when you are undergoing your Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Once you are brought out, you cannot be sent back in... Otherwise, those demon saints back then wouldn't have dared to betray us and drive all the forces close to us to the Southern Territory. Now, more and more are betraying us..."
The three demons were increasingly alarmed as they listened, never expecting that the immortal would tell them so many secrets.
“However,” the immortal snorted, “those blind fools will eventually pay the price, and it won’t be long!”
The three demons felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly said, "We will certainly obey the Immortal's orders and do our best to accomplish this task!"
The immortal said, “Jinqing and Moluo are loyal and hardworking, and I will not abandon them. If they cannot be found in a short time, Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra cannot remain without a master forever. You have inherited the mantle of Jinqing and Moluo, and I will do my best to guide you.”
Jinqing and Molu have painstakingly managed the two demon saint dojos of Crimson Meteor Mountain and Moonlit Tundra for many years. They cannot stand idly by and watch them decline. The 'Immortal' has made the worst-case scenario plan. The three demons of the Iris and Bamboo are the best choice to take charge of these two dojos in the future. That is why he revealed these secrets to them to put their minds at ease.
"continue……"
The immortal said calmly at the end.
The three demons respectfully acknowledged the order. Yuanluo withdrew her hands, and the golden talisman in her hands gradually lost its luster and disappeared into her body.
She looked at her cousins and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin!"
The two demons nodded, and then flew off to the left and right of the kite basket.
Yuanlu waved her hand and put away the precious flag, and purple mist quickly spread out.
The three demons lined up in the purple mist, sat cross-legged, and began to unleash their supernatural powers.
……
Outside the purple mist.
As the battle formation neared its end, an endless expanse of demonic energy enveloped the reed marshes, within which shadowy figures could be seen.
This battle formation was too magnificent and too complex. The demon cultivators who were watching from the outside tried to deduce it, but after only deducing a small part of the battle formation, they felt dizzy and dared not continue.
In fact, because the battle formation is so vast, each demon cultivator can only see a part of it and cannot deduce the whole picture.
Even so, demon soldiers continued to break away from the battle formation and expand outwards.
This formation had exceeded the imagination of the demons. None of them could discern its power. And this was only a formation set up by the demon saint's subordinates. They couldn't help but feel even more awe for the demon saint.
'Boom! '
'Boom! '
……
The demon soldiers took their positions, and the battle formation gradually quieted down, but then a muffled drumbeat could be heard.
The demons looked around and discovered that the purple mist coming from the very center of the battle formation was not the sound of drums, but the earth itself trembling.
'Boom!Boom!Boom! '
The tremors continued, each one clearer than the last, like the earth's natural contractions.
'call! '
Visible waves appeared in the reeds, accompanied by the sound of rushing water and dense spray of water.
"Woooo..."
A powerful horn sound emanated from within the purple mist, seemingly echoing the tremors of the earth. Even the most distant demon cultivators could hear their hearts pounding in time with the horn's blast.
'boom! boom! boom! ’
The qi and blood in their bodies surged uncontrollably. The demon cultivators present had all undergone countless tempering and honing of their physical bodies, yet even such powerful bodies could not eliminate the influence of the sound.
It must have been the horn sounded by those cousins, but even if they were descendants of the Great Sage, they couldn't possibly possess such power. There's only one possibility: the horn triggered something—perhaps a grand formation, or perhaps some powerful being.
This barren reed marshland actually hides a great secret!
All the demons held their breath, staring at the battle formation and the purple mist.
Suddenly, a demon cultivator cried out in alarm, "Look over there!"
The surrounding demon cultivators followed the direction he pointed and saw that in the distance, large swathes of reeds suddenly collapsed.
The nearby demon cultivators all gave way.
It turned out that it wasn't the reeds that had fallen over, but rather the water below that was collapsing, forming a wide ditch in the blink of an eye, and the ditch was spreading faster and faster.
Looking along this ravine, you can see the direction in which one of the demon soldiers left; I wonder what they did.
Soon, a commotion arose all around, as cracks were appearing on all sides.
The earth is being torn apart, and the waters are collapsing!
'Boom! '
‘Crack! ’
The earth trembled once more, this time more violently than ever before, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
The demons stared in disbelief at the shocking scene before them. The seemingly endless reed marshes beneath the demon soldiers forming the battle formation suddenly sank into the ground, revealing an enormous hollow in the earth.
‘Crack! ’
'Crash...'
At the edge of the cavity, lake water overflowed, and soil and rocks collapsed one after another.
Those ravines have become one with the cavities, and the earth continues to collapse at an alarming rate.
This incident will completely alter the appearance of this reed marsh that has existed for countless years!
At the same time, a blinding light shot out from the ground, the blue light was so bright that it overshadowed the purple mist and torches, illuminating the heavens!
A boundless, radiant light emanated a mysterious fluctuation, one that none of the demons present had ever heard of before. The demons instinctively narrowed their eyes; although they didn't understand what was happening, the sheer scale of the event told them that something extraordinary was about to unfold.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed demon cultivator noticed that the demon soldiers in the battle formation were bathed in spiritual light, and their figures were gradually fading.
They rubbed their eyes, confirming that it wasn't their imagination; they were indeed fading, turning into blurry images in an instant.
"Where are they going?"
A chorus of voices rose and fell around them.
The Black Demon King's eyes flashed, and he immediately led his subordinates to fly towards the palace of the Plague God.
The demon cultivators inside the palace also noticed them, and the voice of the Plague Lord came from inside: "Fellow Daoist Hei Ji has also arrived."
"Such a grand occasion cannot be missed!"
The Black Demon King narrowed his eyes and stared at the battle formation. In a short time, the shadows of the demon soldiers had become extremely faint, including the purple mist and torches inside, which were about to disappear.
"This is a rare opportunity, fellow Daoist, please give me a ride," the Black Silence Demon King cupped his hands in greeting.
"I will naturally keep my word, but the Moonlit Moss Plains has decreed that there is a limit to the number of participants. I hope Fellow Daoist Black Silence will understand..."
The Black Demon King didn't argue; as long as he could get in, that was enough. He asked, "How many more can I bring?"
"two."
"You two stay by my side. As for the others, I will find a way to guide you," the Black Silence Demon King said, pointing to two of his subordinates. One of them was the wolf demon, and the other was none other than Meishan Yuanjun.
The wolf demon was undoubtedly the Black Silence Demon King's confidant. Because of her clean background, Meishan Yuanjun always carried out the Black Silence Demon King's orders meticulously. In the Black Silence Demon King's eyes, she was much more reliable than other demon kings.
Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the demon kings, Meishan Yuanjun followed the Black Silence Demon King, trailing behind the Colorful Cloud Golden Pagoda, and flew into the spiritual light.
Before her figure disappeared into the spiritual light, a trace of worry flashed in Meishan Yuanjun's eyes. Just now, she had secretly contacted Qin Sang several times, but had not received a response.
Logically speaking, with such a large commotion as the army setting off, Tianyunpu couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
At this moment, the demon soldiers, purple mist, and torches in the spiritual light all disappeared at the same time. Then, the palaces of the White Dragon King and the Plague Lord entered the spiritual light almost simultaneously, and then, like the demon soldiers, gradually faded away.
Seeing this, the demons could no longer restrain themselves and rushed toward the spiritual light.
The collapse continued, and the spiritual light expanded, drawing in more and more demon cultivators. Unexpectedly, it did not fade or disappear as before.
The demons were puzzled; what was missing?
There's absolutely no way we'll let them give up like this!
Even if the reason is unknown, it is enough to know where these spiritual lights come from, and immediately some demon cultivators rushed into the ground.
……
Blood Abyss.
The place is shrouded in blood mist, the blood aura is even stronger than before, and there is a faint bloody smell mixed with the fragrance, adding a touch of gloom to the Blood Abyss.
Ghostly Cave of the Great Sage.
Just like the outside world, the cave was filled with thick blood mist, and the smell of blood was exceptionally strong.
Although it was the abode of a demon saint, it had no luxurious decorations; it was just a simple stone cave. The rocks on the cave walls were soaked with blood mist, giving them a vivid blood-red color.
This is clearly a bloodbath!
There wasn't even a cloud-covered platform here; it was completely empty except for a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.
This person was extremely thin, with disheveled hair, deeply sunken eyes, and loose robes. His hands, which were exposed from the cuffs, were skin covering bones, with long nails as pale as his skin. Sitting there, he looked like a mummified corpse that had been dead for a long time.
It's hard to believe that the renowned Ghostly Great Sage would look like this.
The Great Sage Ghostly Hidden has sat here cross-legged for countless years, without a trace of breath. Around him, the ground is dotted with grooves that form a complex pattern.
Fresh blood flowed in the trench, this blood contained vigorous vitality and terrifying power, it was actually the blood of the Great Sage Ghostly Hidden.
The blood and grooves formed a strange blood array, which had been burning the blood of the Great Sage Ghost Hidden for many years, turning a demon saint into what he is now.
Suddenly, a burst of blood appeared.
The blood array suddenly erupted, countless runes danced in the bloody light, and a mysterious power burst out of the cave, silently spreading into the world.
Ghostly Great Sage's fingers trembled, and he suddenly opened his withered eyes. His deep-set eyes stared straight at the runes in the blood-red light, and his profound gaze seemed to pierce through the blood array and the void, seeing the distant unknown.
A moment later, a look of exhaustion flashed in the eyes of the Great Sage Ghostly Hidden, and he slowly closed his eyes. Then, his chest rose and fell slightly, and a trace of life returned.
The blood in the blood array began to flow back into the body, and the withered skin gradually swelled up and regained its luster. The sunken facial features also returned to normal, and the mummified body transformed into a dignified middle-aged man.
When he opened his eyes again, the weariness in them had disappeared. He looked down and saw that the ditch on the ground had been wiped away.
Immediately, the Great Sage Ghostly Hidden appeared above the Blood Abyss, gazing northward.
He then reappeared on the Arctic ice sheet.
Snow and wind are blowing!
