Chapter 425 - 301: Activation of the Blood River Demon Soul Array!_2
These heretical cultists had emptied the treasure vault of the Void Shadow God Assembly and carried it all on their person.
"Next, we’ll be looting corpses and licking their pouches!"
This Blood River Soul Array is truly a sinister array, who knows what it requires to devour—perhaps even the corpses might be completely destroyed by it.
If even the corpses are consumed, they will have suffered a great loss.
"Don’t worry, I can control the situation inside the array. Everyone, stand by my side; otherwise, if you’re affected by the array, it won’t be fun,"
Xiao Guang, ascend to a kilometer in the sky and constantly observe any external changes in the Blood River Soul Array and take note."
Number Two began to gather everyone to her side while infusing spiritual power into her body to activate the array flags.
Instantly, a blood-red light blossomed from the flags, spreading in all directions in a flash.
The array flags, which had been set up beforehand, slowly floated up under the illumination of the blood light, hanging mid-air like a network of pillars, and began radiating outwards.
In ten seconds, a river of blood appeared out of thin air, its turbulent flow relentless, completely covering the entire farm.
The endless torrent of blood, like a broken dam, washed back and forth within this area, finally converging towards the array eye atop the flags.
A blood-colored lake formed around Number Two, gradually solidifying, eventually transforming into a giant cocoon of blood covering ten kilometers.
And it was the instant this massive blood cocoon formed that countless streams of death energy shot up into the sky.
Where once there was a sky of blood, now it transformed into a sky of darkness.
One by one, ghostly faces floated in and out of the dark expanse, gradually merging into a giant spectral face.
The air was dense with death, chilling and eerie, the ghostly face roaring...
The infinite blood and death energy intertwined and surged into the depths of the earth.
As the blood and death energy seeped in, the bodies of the recently deceased heretical cultists in the pit were immediately influenced. Their blood, which had already seeped into the earth, began to gather into beads of blood and was then absorbed into the big array.
Subsequently, death energy swirled around the corpses, confused spirits enveloped by the death energy merged into ethereal figures, then entered the Blood River Soul Array.
With the integration of blood and spirits, the whole array began to operate even more rapidly.
At that moment, Number Two, flailing the array eye flag in her hand, already looked quite pale. However, the spiritual power within her body continued to pour into the array without pause.
Fan Yuer and the others stood by her side, occasionally taking out a bottle of high-quality spiritual liquid for restoration and pouring it into her seductive red lips.
It could be said, to activate this Blood River Soul Array, a horrifying million units of spiritual power were required!
This was just the energy needed to activate the array; controlling it would continue to consume spiritual power.
If the activation process was interrupted, there was a hundred percent chance of suffering backlash from the entire Blood River Soul Array.
With Number Two’s frail body, not to mention resisting, she was likely to be instantly destroyed by the backlash, resulting in her body exploding and her spirit being utterly annihilated.
Therefore, Zi Liyuan was initially unwilling to use this thing.
The Dark Array of Gill was too sinister, and the risk of backlash was simply too great.
But Number Two wanted to become stronger, to keep up with his pace. If she could fully integrate the Blood River Soul Array into her innate abilities, her potential would become boundless.
"This thing is too dangerous. Until it’s integrated with your innate abilities, you must never use this sinister array unless I’m by your side—otherwise, you are absolutely forbidden to use it!"
Feeling the increasingly terrifying power of the Blood River Soul Array, Zi Liyuan’s expression grew extremely solemn at that moment.
He also discovered that once the array was successfully activated, it immediately locked down the surrounding space, the effect outperforming a Fourth Order space sealing scroll by countless levels.
He had just torn a Fourth Order random teleportation scroll, and while the scroll was indeed torn, not a trace of spatial elemental energy inside it fluctuated at all—it was completely devoured by the array.
That was utterly preposterous.
It can be said that once this grand formation is deployed, unless Number Two permits, no being that enters the Blood River Demonic Soul Array can hope to escape.
The only two ways to get out are, first, to forcefully break the formation by might, and second, to pray that Number Two spares them.
"Li Yuan, the Blood River Demonic Soul Array is too powerful. My Spirit isn’t strong enough to fully control it; use your special skills and items to help me enhance my Spirit’s perception range," Number Two, pale-faced after activating the Blood River Demonic Soul Array with who knows how many bottles of Spiritual Liquid, immediately said to Zi Liyuan standing beside her.
"Alright, this thing is probably too much for even Fourth Order professionals to handle, and here you are troubling yourself with this heretical array," Zi Liyuan agreed with a sigh, watching Number Two’s trembling body, and began taking out one item after another from his Spatial Backpack.
Originally, in order to complete the fourth-tier task, he had collected many items and equipment that could enhance the Spirit, which, upon activation, had increased his Spirit’s strength several-fold.
Although many of those items were only for his use, a large portion could be used to stack enhancement buffs on others.
For example, the mutated fusion skill he controlled, "Blessing from Heaven and Earth," could enhance the target’s overall attributes by 10%.
It goes without saying that this skill is an absolute divine technique.
One by one, buffs were applied to Number Two, and within just a few seconds, her body was stacked with more than a dozen enhancement buffs.
Her overall attributes increased by 50%, and her Spirit strengthened by 140%. It can be said that her strength was significantly enhanced.
As her Spirit’s strength was augmented and her perception ability doubled, Number Two’s condition immediately improved.
"Whew, I can barely control the entire grand formation now, although the finer details are still a bit clumsy," Number Two said, feeling the state of the entire array as she slowly closed her eyes, beginning the harvest of the heretical sect members hiding below.
The blood water, like a shadowy illusion, emitted a tangible red light that spread throughout all the underground passageways.
Every heretical cultist engulfed by the blood-red light felt their blood begin to boil, as if it sought to burst from their bodies and converge in a specific direction.
This scene caused all the heretical cultists to suffer intense swelling pain, and the operation of their Spiritual Power inside their bodies became chaotic.
Instantly, the faces of these cultists turned pale as they realized what was happening inside them.
Someone was using them for a ritual sacrifice!
"Damn it! The people who are killing their way in are not the official forces from the Great Xia Empire, but from some other organization or power!"
"This is the force of the Evil God; they want to use us as sacrificial offerings. We can’t sit here and wait for death, even if we die, we must break out!"
"Use this special escape passage; this kind of sacrificial array can’t possibly cover a large distance!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The group of heretical cultists immediately made up their minds.
They hadn’t expected their adversaries to be so despicable, not coming down to capture them, but instead directly sacrificing them to death.
After all, they carried the precious foundation of the entire Void Shadow God Association on them!
Did the enemy not want the treasures of their Void Shadow God Association at all?
Regrettably, the heretical cultists’ intention to break through the escape passage was good, but their timing was a bit late.
By the time the Blood River Demonic Soul Array was fully formed and the blood water had spread to them, it was already too late.
They were already trapped within the grand formation, and to escape, they had to ask whether Number Two agreed or not.
Just then, an endless deathly aura began to erode their bodies, slowly starting to extract their Spirits.
Their once-prized strength seemed powerless at this moment. No matter how they tried to mobilize the Spiritual Power within their bodies, no matter how they tried to activate their skills, or harness the power of the basic elements to create their own Spells.
At that moment, it all ceased to be effective!
