Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1152 - 600: 8th Life: Original Divine Format, Deities Array! (Part 2)

Propelled by his own might alone, he pressed onward against the oppressive force, aiming resolutely for the divine effigy.

Yet, with every stride taken, the crimson river churned ceaselessly, flinging forth a deluge of droplets that resembled freshly spilled blood.

Within each droplet, myriad anguished and contorted human visages materialized, accompanied by a symphony of piercing shrieks and lamentations.

"The ancient tales claim that so long as the Blood River endures, the True Spirit is eternal. Could this be the very Blood River forged by the Blood River Ancestor, born from the genesis of the Blood Dao and the essence of countless existences?"

The other immortal powerhouses, beholding the sanguine torrent, exhibited subtle shifts in their demeanor, a profound apprehension flickering in their gazes.

It was widely understood that within this very river of blood lay a concentration of immense vital essence in every single drop.

The Blood River Ancestor, in ages past, had spared no effort, even initiating global conflicts to concoct this river, provoking widespread fury and eternal grudges as innumerable beings met untimely ends, all to amass sufficient sanguinary energy.

However, despite the formidable prowess of the Blood River Ancestor, he found himself ensnared by the intricate formation meticulously laid by the Supreme Origin Saint Master.

With each passing moment spent within the vast formation, a significant volume of the crimson river water erupted, and legions of souls dissolved into ephemeral wisps, vanishing into nothingness.

Before long,

the blood-hued river that encircled him demonstrably diminished, its reduction observable to the naked eye.

"Esteemed colleagues, this formation wields terrifying might. Might we consider an alliance for the present?"

Gazing upon the rapidly receding blood-red current, the Blood River Ancestor felt a pang of agonizing loss, compelling him to propose an agreement.

"Indeed, esteemed cultivator, your assessment is accurate. This is an intact Deity Array, and our individual strengths are insufficient to withstand its power."

"Only by uniting our forces can we confront this trial and advance towards that divine statue."

The Corpse Emperor swiftly voiced his concurrence.

Among the demigod entities present, he was undeniably the least potent.

If even the Blood River Ancestor faltered in breaching this formidable formation, then for the Corpse Emperor to achieve it through his own might alone was an impossibility, let alone reaching the divine statue.

"Agreed. Let us first dismantle this grand formation, and thereafter, we shall arbitrate the ownership of the Original Divine Format,"

Daoist Master Wu Jie concurred with the Blood River Ancestor's proposition.

"In that case, let us proceed with haste."

A guttural, low voice, laden with an intense bloodlust, akin to a demon's whisper, suddenly emanated from within Immortal Emperor Nanli.

Its mere utterance instilled a surge of malevolent emotions within everyone present, igniting a sudden, potent agitation.

"Has his vessel already been commandeered by the Blood God?"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed as this thought crossed his mind.

Even within the hallowed grounds of the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm, Immortal Emperor Nanli and his contemporaries were sovereign entities who had reigned for millennia.

Nonetheless, when juxtaposed with the immortal titans from countless World Planes, their might appeared rather meager.

And though their power was moderate, their ability to stand on par with formidable demigods like the Blood River Ancestor clearly stemmed from the clandestine backing of darker deities!

"Everyone, follow my lead as we shatter this formation!"

The Blood River Ancestor bellowed with ferocity.

Immediately, the crimson river unleashed a blinding sanguine radiance, painting the entirety of the hall in its stark hue.

Concurrently, the Corpse Emperor, half of whose form had devolved into mere bone, clenched his jaw and summoned forth nine immortal cadavers.

These nine immortal husks hailed from diverse origins, some repurposed from the remains of formidable Human Race cultivators, while others were monstrous beasts of colossal proportions, their bodies dwarfing mountains.

Nevertheless, they shared a singular characteristic.

Each immortal corpse had been refined to an incorruptible state, radiating an aura of invincibility.

This, in turn, signified.

During their lifetimes, every single one of these immortal husks had been an immortal-tier powerhouse!

"Nine immortal cadavers, my friend, you have indeed exerted considerable effort,"

The Blood River Ancestor's countenance shifted minutely upon observing these reanimated remains, and he emitted a peculiar chuckle.

However, in stark contrast to the strained efforts of the Blood River Ancestor and the Corpse Emperor, Daoist Master Wu Jie appeared remarkably composed.

Around him, thirty-six flying swords, intricately etched with arcane sigils, revolved.

These aerial blades, no larger than a palm, exuded a piercing, frigid luminescence, rendering direct observation a challenge.

With each forward step he advanced, a single flying sword disintegrated, transforming into countless motes of light.

Once all thirty-six ethereal swords were obliterated,

the dispersed motes of light coalesced once more, reforming the flying swords anew.

Yet, Immortal Emperor Nanli and his companions displayed no extraordinary techniques; their advance was as relaxed and unhurried as a leisurely stroll through their own gardens. The overwhelming pressure that could pulverize a lesser immortal being seemed nonexistent to them. However, Lu Yuan observed keenly. As Immortal Emperor Nanli and the others proceeded, a peculiar power emanated from within their bodies. This unique and potent energy possessed the ability to assimilate divine laws, thereby nullifying a portion of the array's might and posing no danger to them. With the Blood River Ancestor and his group exerting their full strength, the formidable pressure exerted by the colossal array diminished considerably. Their progress quickened significantly, suggesting they would reach the divine statue within half a day! Witnessing the Blood River Ancestor and his peers moving further into the distance, the other formidable immortal figures grew uneasy. They were acutely aware of the immense sacrifices made to breach the world's barrier and forcefully enter this realm, all in pursuit of the Main God's heritage. Yet, they had never anticipated that the Deity Grand Array, meticulously established by the Supreme Origin Saint Master, would prove so terrifying that ordinary immortal powerhouses would be utterly unqualified even to set foot within its boundaries! To be so close to a mountain of treasures yet unable to access them—this infuriating sensation nearly drove them to spit blood on the spot.

A few anxious immortal powerhouses, desperate, attempted to brave the Deity Grand Array. However, the moment they stepped inside, they were instantly crushed into fragments. Observing this grim spectacle, everyone's expressions shifted dramatically, finally comprehending the terrifying efficacy of the Deity Array. The Supreme Origin Saint Master, having attained divinity through the Dao of Refining, focused his origin laws predominantly on the laws of refining. Because of Lu Yuan's high level of mastery in the Dao of Refining, he could effectively counter the majority of the suppression from divine laws. Therefore, traversing this Deity Array by himself wasn't an insurmountable feat!
