Chapter 1098: Blood Gods Great Array
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Back in the beginning, these nine almighty soul masters joined hands to set down the seals inside the abyssal plane’s passage. At present after a few thousand years, the seals had finally appeared once again.
Nine tokens sank into the wall. The entire abyssal passage was shaking violently. With the nine tokens as its starting point, a large stretch of golden striations crept towards the depth of the abyssal passage.
Loud booming sounds were still being emitted from the inside of the abyssal passage but now the situation seemed to have stabilized slightly.
Nine circular platforms slowly arose from the walls. Blood One swayed his body and led the way to the twelve o’clock position right ahead. He took a seat on the platform while the rest of the eight Blood Gods each walked to a platform and sat cross-legged on it.
“Use my blood as a guide!” A puff of blood mist burst from Blood One’s body. It was completely forced out from his pores. The blood mist filled the air while Blood One’s face immediately turned ghastly pale.
“Use my blood as a guide!” The rest of the eight Blood Gods chanted the same incantation as huge puffs of blood mists were unleashed from their bodies too.
Immediately after the unleash the blood mist fused into the platform underneath their bodies without wasting a second. Instantly, the golden scriptures in the entire cavern were illuminated. They clearly lit up everything to the deepest part of the abyssal passage.
One could see a large stretch of black mist surging in the depth of the passage by just looking down from the above. Piercing cracking noise was continuously being heard.
Dark purple radiance indistinctly shimmered from the depth of the abyss in an attempt to creep upward.
However, the array immediately stabilized with a force of downward suppression from the infused blood of the nine Blood Gods.
“Spirit of nature, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.” Blood One’s valiant voice echoed all the way to the top of the abyssal passage. The disc underneath his seat was shimmering as if the sun was shining on it with streams of golden radiance, spinning around his body before rising into the sky.
Soon after Blood Two shouted aloud, “Spirit of water, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Three said, “Spirit of fire, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Four said, “Spirit of earth, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Five said, “Spirit of wind, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Six said, “Spirit of light, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Seven said, “Spirit of darkness, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Eight said, “Spirit of time, hear my guidance. The soul of Douluo, forge the foundation.”
Blood Nine said, “Spirit of space,
In the chanting of nine incantations, nine discs were separately shimmering with different colors. The water disc shone with blue, the fire disc with red, the wind disc with green,
Nine great nature’s spirits completely bloomed with the nine Blood God’s sacrifice of fresh blood as guidance to trigger the array underneath them.
In the beginning the Blood Gods Great Array was created by the combined efforts of nine almighty Soul Masters but the seal was not formed from the strength of these nine people. Instead, the exceedingly complicated scriptures and their efforts in saving the people acted as guides to accumulate nine nature’s spiritual energies on the continent in order to forge the seal. Douluo Continent’s principle of exclusion toward this otherworldly plane was utilized. As a result, the seal managed to block the arrival of the abyssal plane for such a long period of time.
On the other hand, just as the seal was about to be completed the almighty from the abyssal plane devoted all its strength to finally leave behind some small fissures in the area surrounding the seal. These fissures were meant to allow a passageway for ordinary abyssal creatures so that they would not be killed by the seal. This was the origin of those thirty-six passages. Otherwise, the abyssal plane would be completely isolated if the seal had been perfectly completed back then.
The most important purpose for Blood God Battalion’s existence was to replicate the nine senior almighty Soul Masters from that time in the most crucial moments. They guided the nine nature’s spiritual energy to gather around the seal and triggered the seal to its most powerful extent.
Even though there was a disparity between the abilities of today’s nine Blood Gods and the nine seniors from back then, these nine great Blood Gods were assisted by their battle armors. After all battle armors had yet to completely take form in the soul master’s world six thousand years ago. Even though not every one of them was a Limit Douluo, Blood One who assumed command in the middle had even exceeded the ability of the seniors. While the rest of the Blood Gods relied on their battle armors to elevate their cultivation base to Hyper Douluo-rank, his strength alone could complete one-third of the process of the entire array.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually transformed. Radiances of all colors faintly rippled. In in the eyes of a Limit Douluo-rank powerhouse’s spiritual power, Zhang Huanyun’s spiritual power allowed him to clearly sense how the different attributes of the elemental molecules in the air were rapidly condensing under the guidance of the array.
These nature’s spirits were all the natural laws of Douluo Continent. They could undoubtedly sense the invasion from the otherworldly plane, so they chose to guard their plane without the slightest bit of reluctance under the guidance provided by the array.
Nine-colored radiance covered was suspended above the abyssal passage akin to a gigantic shield of light. The radiance of nine different colors each infused into the nine Blood Gods bodies separately before infusing into the array through the guidance of their bodies.
The golden striations on the array immediately brightened with light while the opened fissures below stopped cracking. There was no way it could continue to crack and one could even feel like it was about to close up.
On the other side, one after another king’s body exploded on the abyssal plane. The purest form of abyssal energy bloomed as it wildly surged into the passage like monsters that tearing apart the fissures so that more abyssal energy could fuse into this side.
This was no longer the battle between two worlds but was now the battle of natural laws between the two planes. Piercing howls and screeches continuously echoed from the depth of the abyssal passage.
Zhang Huanyun raised his hand. “Prepare the protective shield, prepare the seismic wave. All hands on board, enter code red.”
Nine Blood Gods had albeit stabilized the seal, but the abyssal plane was still trying to break the seal at all costs. Then they would be welcoming an immense abyssal tide for sure. A tide that was unprecedented in history.
The powerhouses of the Blood God Army had already all gathered behind Zhang Huanyun. The Nine Blood Gods aside, amongst the Soul Masters of the Blood God Army there were more than ten Title Douluo-rank powerhouses. They were all clad in three-word battle armor as they quietly stood awaiting the arrival of this great war.
Meanwhile, in the depth of the abyssal plane.
“Sage King, the price is too great. We’ve already opened the fissure but the humans are using some sort of unknown method to strengthen the seal even more, so it’s very difficult for us to charge though. I’m afraid it takes the sacrifice of more ten kings. Are we going to…”
“Shut up. If the sacrifice of ten fails, then we’ll send fifteen. If fifteen fails, then we’ll send twenty. We can never give mankind the opportunity to recuperate and grow. I can already sense that a form of energy capable of annihilating our entire plane is being produced in the human world’s natural law. This time is possibly our only chance. We can never allow mankind to grow more powerful.”
“Yes, Sage King.”
“Rumble, rumble!”
Meanwhile, the abyssal plane once again began to shake violently. The natural laws were in chaos as countless weak abyssal creatures were instantly disintegrated on the plane.
Bloodthirsty eyes shimmered while savage energy burst forth in a split second and the revolting abyssal plane calmed down a little.
“Ant Emperor is gone too. Its Plane Seed has already disappeared as well. Now you should understand why I choose to wage a battle of life and death with mankind right now. If we don’t spare any effort in waging a fight, then in the recent future it’s very possible that we won’t be the ones invading the human world but the human world will annihilate us completely.”
Monarch’s aura abruptly crept outward when a deep roar was heard. A stream of blood-red radiance penetrated countless layers of barriers before ferociously blasting against the passage’s seal that was made up of thousands of golden scriptures.
“Boom…”
The Nine Blood Gods guarding the seals were all trembling violently. Three of them with the weakest cultivation base could not help spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Blood One’s expression changed as he pointed his right hand to the air. Three Heartless Swords shot out like lightning and suspended in the air over Blood Seven, Blood Eight and Blood Nine’s heads to assist them in suppressing the seals below them.
Blood Nine’s heart was filled with gratitude. He devoted all his effort in cultivating for the past one month after losing to Tang Wulin. He had made quite an improvement since then, even his cultivation base had elevated by one rank.
The experience allowed him to be in a relatively relaxed state as he was engaged in the process of guarding the seal at the moment. If this was the past, he was afraid that he would have been spitting out more than just a mouthful of fresh blood earlier.
The fissures around the seal that had originally begun closing cracked once again with a violent boom. Gushes of thick black airflow surged out akin to a swarm of bees. These airflows began to condense and take shape before transforming into countless abyssal creatures that wildly surged towards the passage’s exit. On the other hand, at least five abyssal kings had appeared amongst these abyssal creatures.
