Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2356: Chapter 1077: Slaughter

The Divine Lord’s servant can only be one.

I am the Divine Lord’s servant.

Only I can live forever...

"And only by killing everyone else can I be that ’one and only’."

This thought instantly floated in the minds of the demon heads.

Immediately, a monster cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain went berserk, tore off his black robe, revealed his fangs, and bit into the flesh of a corpse cultivator from the Yin Corpse Valley beside him.

"Beast, courting death!"

The corpse cultivator was furious, his previously simmering murderous intent could no longer be contained. He began to turn his flesh into a corpse state to resist the monster cultivator’s attack, and at the same time shook the Corpse Controlling Bell, summoning the Copper Corpse from his coffin to attack the frenzied monster cultivator.

The blue-faced, fanged Copper Corpse immediately extended its sharp claws, carrying a stench, and tore through the monster cultivator’s back, flipping flesh to expose a forest of white bones.

However, the splattered monster blood sprayed onto the Demon Cultivator from the Blood Refining Sect standing nearby.

The Demon Cultivator from the Blood Refining Sect, unable to resist the sight of fresh blood, had his eyes turn blood-red at the scent, and he lunged at the monster cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, biting into the monster cultivator’s neck, activating the Blood Refining Demon Skill, and sucking the blood as if it were a whale swallowing it.

As the slaughter commenced, blood, demonic qi, and murderous intent mixed together, immediately arousing the desires in everyone’s hearts.

Inside the grand hall, a fierce melee erupted.

However, not all demon cultivators joined the fray.

The ones who went mad and fell into frenzy were mostly the demon heads at the Initial Golden Core stage.

The demon cultivators at the Golden Core Middle Stage, in the face of such slaughter, managed to retain a sliver of rationality.

And the demon heads at the Late Golden Core Stage, with higher cultivation and a Divine Sense above twenty-seven patterns, mostly remained calm, merely watching the situation coldly.

A moment later, a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator from Yin Corpse Valley turned to the chief of the Mystic Demon Sect, his face darkening as he questioned:

"What do you mean by this?"

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect frowned, "What do you mean?"

The Golden Core cultivator from Yin Corpse Valley sneered, "Don’t think I can’t see through this; it’s the Daoist Heart Planting Devil technique of the Illusory Demon Sect."

"So what if it is?" responded the chief of the Mystic Demon Sect.

The Golden Core cultivator from Yin Corpse Valley’s gaze was icy, "The Illusory Demon Sect has declined, and the original classic of this Planting Devil technique has fallen into the hands of Xuan Sanren, the Feathered Immortal from your Mystic Demon Sect."

"Isn’t it obvious that the madness of these people, all planted with the Daoist Heart Planting Devil, is the doing of your Mystic Demon Sect?"

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect looked sullen, then snorted contemptuously:

"Nonsense! Do you think you can splash this dirty water on the Mystic Demon Sect with just a few words? How laughable!"

The Golden Core cultivator from Yin Corpse Valley, seeing his flat denial, became more vicious.

The other Late-stage Golden Core cultivators also quietly distanced themselves from the chief of the Mystic Demon Sect but tacitly encircled him.

One by one, cold, rotten, or bloody Divine Senses stealthily locked onto the chief of the Mystic Demon Sect.

These demons, having lived for hundreds of years, would not just listen to the words spoken but rather watch the actions taken.

The current situation was clear that everyone had fallen under the "Daoist Heart Planting Devil" technique.

And the only suspect was the Mystic Demon Sect.

After all, among all the demon cultivators present, only the Mystic Demon Sect had received the original classic on planting devils within Taoist hearts.

Besides them, no one else was proficient in this Demon Path secret technique.

The Daoist Heart Planting Devil controls people’s hearts, is strange and mysterious, and is not something ordinary cultivators can learn easily.

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect, becoming the "target of all criticism," looked grim, but with the killing intent of so many Late-stage Golden Core demon heads focused on him, he could only suppress his temper, explaining patiently in a conciliatory tone:

"You all misunderstand, this matter truly has nothing to do with my Mystic Demon Sect."

The red-clad female demon head from the Hehuan Sect sneered coldly, "Words without proof, you must provide evidence."

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect frowned, "What kind of evidence do you want?"

The red-clad female demon head chuckled grimly, "Surrender yourself; let us search your Storage Bag to see if there are any gu items for planting devils in Taoist hearts."

Searching a Storage Bag is taboo for a cultivator.

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect would never agree to this, let alone surrender himself.

In such a situation, if he were to surrender, he would likely be dismembered by these demon heads, not leaving even a bone behind.

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect’s expression sank, he activated the Mystic Demon Skill, demonic qi swirling around him to intimidate the others, saying at the same time:

"This matter is indeed strange, but the urgent task now is to unite and find out the truth behind it all."

The Golden Core cultivator from Yin Corpse Valley did not back down; he shook the bell in his hand, summoning the Copper Corpse.

This Copper Corpse had a faint shade of silver gradually appearing, as if evolving to a higher tier- the "Silver Corpse."

The Golden Core cultivator from Yin Corpse Valley manipulated the silver-tinged Copper Corpse, locking his killing intent on the chief of the Mystic Demon Sect and said coldly:

"Indeed, something is strange here. We are already investigating. Once we catch you and interrogate you thoroughly, we will surely understand the ins and outs of this Daoist Heart Planting Devil technique."

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect cursed silently in his heart.

Demon cultivators are brutal and stubborn beasts. Once suspicion takes root, they’ll never easily change their perceptions.

Moreover, in the current scenario, the greatest suspicion indeed lay on the Mystic Demon Sect.

Even the chief of the Mystic Demon Sect secretly harbored doubts.

Could it be... that it truly was the doing of his Mystic Demon Sect?

Could it be that Young Master Xuan hasn’t left?

He was ordered by the patriarch to hide within this Blood Sacrifice Array in secret, intended to suddenly act at the crucial moment of the Evil God’s rebirth, to achieve some unknown agenda?

The chief of the Mystic Demon Sect frowned.

Though outsiders don’t know, how could he, the Late-stage Golden Core chief of the Mystic Demon Sect, be unaware?

Xuan Sanren indeed spent a tremendous price to acquire the original classic of the "Daoist Heart Planting Devil" technique.

But this Daoist Heart Planting Devil is extremely difficult to cultivate. So far, in the entire Mystic Demon Sect, besides Xuan Sanren, who is in the Feather Transformation Realm, only the exceptionally talented Young Master Xuan could have mastered this method of planting devils within Taoist hearts.
