Chapter 61 - 61 Blood Formation
Chapter 61: Blood Formation
Xia Kingdom, Yongqing Prefecture, Heyang City, the Golden Core Realm city master, clad in iron armor and wielding a precious sword, stood with the city’s soldiers, nervously looking at the Blood Formation enveloping the entire city. The vast Blood Formation emitted a pungent, bloody stench, and the crimson blood light covered the sky and sun, making people nauseous.
Dozens of Reincarnation Hall elders and disciples stood on their magical treasures, floating in the sky, looking down at the million souls within the city. “Surrender your blood energy to fulfill our Reincarnation Hall’s supreme skills,” an elder of the Reincarnation Hall at the Dao Palace realm said, toying with a Blood Bead in his hand and watching the frightened expressions of the citizens with satisfaction.
With a million souls in the city, even if only part of the blood energy was offered to the blood pool, the remaining blood energy would be enough to raise his realm by several levels.
The reason the Demon Sects are known as heretic cultivators is precisely because they cultivate evil techniques, quickly elevating their cultivation levels. Some cultivators seeking shortcuts naturally fall into the Demon Sects.
If this city of a million souls were refined, it would be enough for these Reincarnation Hall elders and disciples to see their cultivation levels surge dramatically.
“Start the Blood Formation and refine the city before Mount Shu discovers us,” declared an elder.
“Let no one emerge alive!”
“Yes!”
Eight Nascent Soul Realm elders from the Reincarnation Hall, positioned at eight different directions around the city, waved the Blood Banners, driving the operation of an unprecedentedly huge Blood Formation to begin refining the million souls within the city.
A surge of blood light flooded the sky, and clouds of crimson covered the sun like hell on earth descending upon humanity.
“The Demon Chief intends to refine this city. Those who remain within the city will undoubtedly perish!”
A Qi Transformation Realm loose cultivator, who had been living in seclusion in the city, felt as if the blood in his body was about to be drawn out, and stricken with extreme fear, could no longer bear the oppressive atmosphere. He summoned a flying sword and flew outside the city.
“Hmph, trying to escape?”
The Dao Palace Realm Reincarnation Hall elder snorted coldly, and the Blood Bead cast a blood-colored Demon Shadow that pierced the Qi Transformation Realm loose cultivator’s chest at an extremely fast speed.
The Qi Transformation Realm loose cultivator fell from the sky, his entire body withered, and he became shriveled like a dried-up husk.
The blood-colored Demon Shadow, having drained all of the Qi Transformation Realm loose cultivator’s blood energy, grew stronger by a fraction and returned into the Blood Bead.
“Hiss…”
The city’s defending soldiers and loose cultivators’ scalps went numb as they fell into endless despair.
If they stayed inside the city, they would be refined by the Reincarnation Hall’s Blood Formation.
If they left the city, they would have their blood energy drained dry by the Blood Bead.
This was a dead end!
“To fight is to die, to do nothing is also to die, it is better to die in battle!”
The Golden Core Realm city master gathered the city’s loose cultivators and mortal troops, ready to fight to the death.
“No, we cannot be their match, mortals are nothing but ants before a cultivator of the Dao Palace realm!”
“We are willing to submit to the Reincarnation Hall, we hope fellow Daoists will take us in!”
A few loose cultivators, faced with life and death, flew out of the city and voluntarily sought refuge with the Reincarnation Hall.
“Nowyou think of submitting? You’re not very reliable, are you? Better to dutifully become nourishment for my Blood Bead,” said the elder dismissively. Unexpectedly, the Reincarnation Hall elder had no intention of recruiting these loose cultivators and once again summoned the Blood Bead. The blood-colored Demon Shadow flew out and instantly killed the loose cultivators, draining their blood energy as well.
Despair deepened amongst the city’s inhabitants.
The four great Demon Sects were incredibly ruthless, leaving no room for survival!
“With our level of cultivation, we are no match for them, but how can we just sit and wait for death!”
The city master, knowing he could not overcome the enemy, still wanted to go down fighting. He led hundreds of loose cultivators and tens of thousands of soldiers charging out of the city gates.
“A bunch of ants, do you really think my Blood Formation is just for show?”
The Reincarnation Hall elder pumped true qi into the Blood Bead, and with a blood light reaching to the heavens, the Blood Formation stirred and dozens of Blood Demon shadows burst forth from within the formation.
“Ahhhh!!!”
A Qi Transformation Realm military general was devoured by a Blood Demon shadow, his burly figure quickly dried up, and his eyeballs bulged out.
The mortal troops were thrown into disarray, with hundreds of soldiers and horses having their blood energy absorbed by the Blood Demons, making the Blood Formation even more powerful.
“Damnit!”
The city master roared hysterically. He had fought on the battlefield, and with a few thousand cavalrymen, had defeated an enemy army of a hundred thousand, but now, faced with the evil cultivators of the Reincarnation Hall, watching the blood of his former comrades being refined by the Blood Formation, he was powerless.
“Fuse with the Blood Bead in despair, unwillingness, and rage, it will make my Blood Bead stronger!”
The Reincarnation Hall elder drove the Blood Bead as a Blood Demon shadow pounced towards the city master.
“Evil, meet your death!”
A delicate shout rang out, and a thirty-foot Sword Qi slashed down, cutting the Blood Demon in half!
“Your Highness, the Princess!”
The city lord, who had thought himself certainly doomed, looked up in delight at the woman appearing in mid-air.
The Second Princess of Xia Kingdom, Si Yan.
Accompanying the Second Princess were several great Confucians from the Literary Court, as well as a squad of Imperial Guards capable of Sword Flight.
The cultivation levels of these Imperial Guards were at least at the Qi Transformation Realm.
“Your Highness, the Princess?!”
“We are saved!”
“Long live!”
The citizens of Heyang City cheered with jubilation. The Second Princess of Xia Kingdom was highly skilled in cultivation and cherished for her protection of the citizens, earning the love of the masses.
A woman dressed in golden armor, with dark hair like ink and a slender figure, held a longsword in her hand. She led the great Confucians and Imperial Guards to stand off against the forces of the Reincarnation Hall.
“You from the Reincarnation Hall use the Blood Formation to refine living beings, committing an evil of enormous magnitude. Are you not afraid of Mount Shu?”
The Second Princess’s tone was ice-cold.
Many cities in Xia Kingdom had already been attacked by the Reincarnation Hall.
If she had not arrived in time, the million civilians of Heyang City would have become nourishment for the Blood Formation.
“Humph, a day will come when our Reincarnation Hall will refine Mount Shu along with everything else. Today, I shall take your fresh blood to sacrifice to my Blood Bead!”
The Reincarnation Hall elder showed no intention of retreat, stimulating the Blood Formation with the Blood Bead. Dozens of Blood Demon shadows merged, creating a hundred-foot-tall Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon struck with a bloody claw, grabbing an Imperial Guard Military General who couldn’t dodge in time.
The Military General struggled desperately but could not escape the demonic clutches.
Boom!
The Military General was crushed to death by the Blood Demon!
His blood essence was devoured by the Blood Demon!
“Roar…”
The Blood Demon let out a scalp-numbing roar; the faces of the Imperial Guards turned pale, their Divine Senses as if gnawed on by a myriad of ghosts.
The bloody claw struck towards the Second Princess of Xia Kingdom.
“Phoenix Dance Sword!”
The Second Princess wielded her sword, with the Sword Qi transforming into a flaming phoenix, clashing with the bloody claw.
The scorching Sword Qi evaporated the blood mist and severed the claw!
“Even better, the blood essence of a cultivator in the Dao Palace Realm is excellent nourishment. Let me show you this old one’s true power!”
The elder of the Reincarnation Hall poured more Spiritual Energy into the Blood Bead, filling the world with bloody light.
Fueled by the nourishment provided by the Blood Bead, the Blood Demon’s aura soared, and its severed claw grew back.
“Dao Palace Realm, fourth level!”
The Second Princess of Xia Kingdom sensed the terrifying power of the Reincarnation Hall elder, her pretty face turning deathly pale.
Having only recently broken through to the Dao Palace Realm, she was no match for an elder of the Demon Sects at the fourth level of that realm.
“Remember, the one who kills you today is named Blood Refining Elder. Die!” The Blood Refining Elder commanded the Blood Demon as its claw, teeming with overwhelming blood energy, struck towards the Second Princess again. “Separation Fire Talisman!”
A great Confucian from the Literary Court released a fourth-grade talisman, attempting to block the Blood Demon.
The talisman turned into a fireball engulfing the Blood Demon.
However, the power of the fourth-grade talisman was insufficient to seriously harm the Blood Demon.
The claw broke through the fireball, grabbed the great Confucian, and with a simple squeeze, the great Confucian was reduced to a mist of blood.
A Nascent Soul Realm great Confucian, fallen.
The Second Princess of Xia Kingdom and the people of Heyang City were engulfed in utter despair.
The Reincarnation Hall had several dozen cultivators with mighty powers, led by the Blood Refining Elder who possessed fourth-level Dao Palace Realm cultivation.
Just as everyone descended into a deep sense of powerlessness, a deep voice resounded, “Who dares to act recklessly on Mount Shu’s territory?”
