Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2302: Chapter 1059: Killing Formation Master (2)

Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, is a Quasi-Third Grade Grand Array, not daring to touch the Fifth grade Qian Learning State Boundary.

Yet surrounding Qianxue, all territories below Third Grade have almost all been shrouded in a crimson hue, slowly being engulfed by the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

The crimson in the sky grows ever more vivid.

Amidst the blood hue, terrifying evil thoughts are surreptitiously stirring.

Under the surge of evil thoughts and the blanket of crimson, intense duels between righteous and demonic cultivators erupt at any moment across the state boundaries.

Loose cultivators, or ordinary cultivators, continuously perish at the hands of Demon Path, and are then refined into Walking Corpses or Iron Corpses by the corpse cultivators of the Yin Corpse Valley.

Demon Sword Sect slaughter cultivators to sacrifice the demon sword.

The monster cultivators of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain begin to feast on human flesh, leaving severed limbs scattered everywhere.

The Blood Refining Sect’s cultivators commence blood sucking, transforming into "blood slaves."

Meanwhile, the Hehuan Sect captures young boys and girls, engaging in wild unions in the woods, and using Dual Cultivation Techniques to drain them into husks.

...

Various forms of bloodthirsty cruelty abound.

Similarly, more and more Demon Path cultivators meet their demise at the hands of the Qianxue aristocratic families, sects, as well as Taoist Court cultivators.

In terms of frontal strength, the righteous forces of Qian Learning State Boundary are significantly mightier than the demon cultivators.

Not to mention the several Heaven Void Ancestors and Feathered Immortals, who reside within the Fifth grade Qian Learning State Boundary.

If not for the spread of the Evil Path Great Formation restricted by Heavenly Dao within Second and Third Grade state boundaries, those terrifyingly powerful cultivators, unfurling Heaven Void Dharma Phases, could obliterate the Evil God’s minions and countless demon cultivators within moments.

But under the current circumstances, they are unable to exert their full potential.

Foundation Establishment and Golden Core are the main forces in this Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice massacre.

Thus, the battle situation remains tense.

The righteous and demonic factions, based on the Blood Sacrifice Array boundary, continue their territorial struggle.

Outside the Blood Sacrifice Array, the righteous forces are strong, and with the intensification of the battle, the situation heats up. All state boundary defenses are shrinking, with most loose cultivators gathering in the Immortal City to escape the slaughter by various demon cultivators.

Demon cultivators find it increasingly difficult to create massive slaughter, siege cities and seize land.

However, within the Blood Sacrifice Array, righteous cultivators are equally no match for demon cultivators.

Even if they temporarily gain the upper hand, and manage to penetrate the array to slay some demon cultivators, they soon have to retreat quickly.

Because within the Blood Sacrifice Array, there runs a vein of fresh blood.

Within the earth veins, countless flesh-devouring demon monsters are nurtured, with many invisible evil spirits lurking. Once overwhelmed by the flesh-devouring demon monsters or corrupted by unseen evil spirits, even late-stage Golden Core great cultivators face the risk of degeneration and demise.

For various reasons, the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation has become a formidable barrier.

The situation falls into a state of brutal yet delicate balance.

This "balance" is not favorable for either side.

The longer the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation endures, the more powerful it becomes, with deeper killing aura, heavier evil Qi, greater harm, and serves as an insult to the righteous forces of Qian Learning as well as an affront to the authority of the Taoist Court.

For Mr. Tu and others, "balance" means delay, dragging out the time for Divine Lord’s emergence, which could incur Divine Lord’s dissatisfaction.

Likewise, delay leads to change.

But the formation was hastily initiated, and they are short on manpower.

Unable to cause mass slaughter, the resources such as human skin, human blood, and human bones used by the evil formation are also scarce.

Even Mr. Tu has no better way to advance the progress of the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

Under such circumstances, Gu Changhuai began to act.

...

At the upper reaches of Mistwater River, outside the Blood Sacrifice Array, before a concealed mountain peak.

More than a dozen Taoist Court Golden Core Stewards gather.

Gu Changhuai spreads out a map on the ground, showing formation lines and several red spots annotated in vermilion ink:

"I visited Taixu Gate to meet Elder Master Xun and showed him the Formation Diagram of Yanluo Mountain transmitted by Mo Hua."

"Elder Master Xun deduced based on the formation pattern of Yanluo Mountain a rough outline of the other Blood Sacrifice Arrays’ diagrams and the locations of the formation pivots marked with red dots."

"The formation pivot controls the progress of the formation."

"Likewise, where the formation pivot lies, there must be an Evil Formation Master stationed."

"Our goal is to follow the formation diagram, break into the formation, find the formation pivot nodes, and slaughter the Evil Formation Masters..."

Gu Changhuai’s gaze is cold and determined, repeating:

"As long as they are Evil Formation Masters, no need for words, not one left, slaughter them all!"

He clearly remembers what Mo Hua said to him:

Once outside, kill any Evil Formation Masters encountered. The more Evil Formation Masters die, the safer he will be.

In the matter of the Blood Sacrifice Array, he cannot aid Mo Hua, so he can only try his best to kill all Evil Formation Masters.

Given this, it’s both for Mo Hua and for Yu Er.

This is also the only thing he can do.

After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, the other dozen Golden Core Stewards nodded.

This included Xia Canonical Official, who shared deep connections with Mo Hua, and Gushan City’s Records Officer Fan Jin, who had also benefited from Mo Hua.

The current Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice involves extensive affairs, and Solitary Mountain City isn’t an exception.

Fan Jin was naturally recruited to suppress the demon menace.

For him, it was both a risk and an opportunity.

He was not of noble origin and sought to rise higher, fearing no risk nor hardship, only lack of opportunity.

And the opportunity, Mo Hua had already given him. He had already made a name before the Taoist Court Master Xia.

This time, if he can overcome dangers, endure hardship, fight bravely, and demonstrate his prowess in the adversity of the Blood Sacrifice, future promotions will naturally follow suit.
