Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2339 Chapter 1071: Divine Thought Cultivator (2)
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
"Guard my physical form and ensure my soul lamp remains undisturbed by any external forces."
"Understood."
"As you wish."
The Golden Core Demon offered a respectful salute, while the flesh demon monster`s tongue flicked out.
Following this, these ten powerful demons and flesh demon monsters swiftly spread out, forming a protective perimeter around Mr. Tu, securing him completely.
A crimson radiance ignited upon the soul lamp, enveloping Mr. Tu within its glow.
The Great Wilderness Blood Sacrifice Witchcraft commenced its operation, causing the sea of blood to churn violently. Threads of blood surged upwards, interweaving with the celestial light emanating from the Seven Stars Formation.
These blood threads began to taint the starlight.
Concurrently, the starlight exerted its pressure, attempting to strangle the blood threads.
Despite the formidable nature of the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, it proved insufficient against the combined might of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation and the Great Wilderness Blood Sacrifice Witchcraft.
The power of the Seven Stars Formation gradually diminished.
An ominous surge of evil qi started to rise once more from the horizon.
Atop the altar, Yu Er`s countenance grew increasingly grim and discolored. The Azure Dragon human skin began to meld with him, and the Evil God commenced its hatching from within his Divine Soul, systematically seizing control of his being...
Meanwhile, beyond the confines of the Blood Sacrifice Array.
The climactic, final confrontation was on the precipice of erupting.
The Taoist Court, various influential families, numerous Sects, and cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages from across the Nine States converged like an overwhelming tide outside the Blood Sacrifice Array, poised to launch a full-scale assault on the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.
Numerous faces familiar to Mo Hua were also discernible among the assembled forces.
Gu Changhuai and other Supervisors from the Taoist Court, alongside many Enforcement Leaders, Zhang Lan representing the Zhang Family, a considerable contingent of elders from the Taixu Gate, and numerous Golden Core Elders, disciples from the Gu Family, as well as cultivators hailing from various other Great Sects were present.
Sect Leaders of each sect within the Feather Transformation Realm, and even some Chief Elders holding Feather Transformation Realm cultivation, had established their positions here.
Within the confines of the Third-Grade State Boundary, individuals at the Feather Transformation Realm were unable to unleash their full capabilities. However, their inherent strength still surpassed that of Golden Core cultivators.
On the opposing Demon Path front.
The esteemed Feather Transformation Demon from the Yin Corpse Valley and the ancient Sword Slave associated with the Demon Sword Sect were also positioned above.
Beneath them were Demon Cultivators from various sects, accompanied by countless Walking Corpses, Iron Corpses, and Copper Corpses meticulously refined over the preceding days, in addition to the blood slaves, sword slaves, and color slaves they had subjugated...
And concealed within the blood-drenched earth veins, an untold number of flesh demon monsters.
The forces of righteousness and demonic paths stood in irreconcilable opposition.
With a single, decisive command, the two sides engaged in a fierce clash almost instantaneously, resembling two colossal waves colliding, their impact creating a maelstrom of slaughter.
Thunderous reverberations of spiritual streams filled the air.
The cacophony resulting from the collision of Taoist Skills and Demon Skills, Spiritual Artifacts and Evil Artifacts, rose and fell in successive waves.
Although the ensuing carnage would undoubtedly amplify the formation`s malevolent impulses, the combatants could not afford to entertain such concerns at this critical juncture.
Moreover, the ultimate objective for the Qianxue Cultivators was not the complete annihilation of all Demon Cultivators.
The sheer number of Demon Cultivators made their total eradication in a single engagement an immense challenge.
Their primary aim was to dismantle the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation and impede the ongoing rebirth process of the Evil God.
Should they successfully breach the encirclement and infiltrate the formation, every Qianxue Cultivator would immediately activate self-destructing Spiritual Artifacts or Explosive Flame Talismans, unleashing a relentless barrage upon the very foundation of the Blood Sacrifice Array.
The battle raged with extraordinary intensity.
Yet, the stationed Sect Leaders, alongside the Feathered Transformation Elders, harbored a clear understanding in their hearts: despite the current ferocity of the conflict, it was not the most pivotal engagement.
The true, deciding battle was unfolding in unseen arenas.
The ultimate fate and victory within the Divine Thought World held the key to this entire "war."
...
Qianxue State Boundary.
Within the majestic main hall of the Sword Observation Tower.
The floor was adorned with an intricate Seven Stars Formation, and brilliant azure starlight fractured the heavens, piercing through the pervasive crimson hue to illuminate the hidden depths of an earth vein.
True Man Situ carefully placed an artifact resembling a ground instrument compass at the very center of the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Stars Formation.
This artifact, known as the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction, was an ancient relic passed down from Mystery Valley, with legends suggesting its origins trace back to the long-vanished
"Marsh of Yunmeng."
Central to the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction was the skull of an unidentified, pristine white Divine Beast.
Surrounding the individual were celestial rings, their constant rotation unveiling a gentle, crystalline, dreamlike purple radiance.
This artifact possessed the capability to manifest a person's Divine Sense, allowing it to trace and establish connections with dreams.
Then, True Man Situ produced a golden talisman, shaped like an ethereal other shore flower with three petals. He addressed Wenren Wan, stating:
"This is the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction Talisman. When you affix this talisman to your Heavenly Gate, it will establish a link with your Sea of Consciousness and enable communication with the dream realm of those bound to you by flesh and heart."
"This procedure will inflict extreme agony upon your Sea of Consciousness and result in damage that cannot be repaired."
Wenren Wan's gaze remained resolute as she offered a slight nod.
Despite evident hesitation, True Man Situ proceeded to affix the Great Dream Heavenly Attraction Talisman onto Wenren Wan's forehead.
Instantly, blood began to trickle from Wenren Wan's brow.
The flowing blood was absorbed by the Heavenly Attraction Talisman, which then commenced to emit a golden luminescence, flashing visions suggestive of dreamlike planes.
What followed was an onslaught of intense suffering.
It felt as though her very Sea of Consciousness was on the verge of being ripped asunder.
Wenren Wan's countenance instantly drained of color, becoming as pale as parchment, while the torment escalated relentlessly. It was akin to a blade meticulously carving away at her Sea of Consciousness, each sliver of removal bringing agonizing pain.
A tremor ran through Wenren Wan's entire body, clammy sweat beading on her skin. Yet, she exerted her utmost strength, teeth clenched tightly.
On multiple occasions, when her endurance wavered near its limit, she would silently whisper the name "Yu Er" in her heart. Picturing Yu Er's innocent and endearing visage, recalling his reliance as he called her "mother" with a face full of trust, she found that all worldly suffering transformed into something bearable.
This profound resolve deeply moved every cultivator present.
As minutes ticked by.
The "Consciousness Bridge," designed to connect with the dreamland, gradually extended and took form, bit by painstaking bit, emanating from Wenren Wan's mind.
This entire process was agonizing and undeniably protracted.
True Man Situ's eyes were clouded with concern; he had anticipated a difficult procedure, but the sheer excruciating nature of it exceeded even his expectations.
