Chapter 315: The Destruction of the Biyuan Palace!
Inside the Sun Moon Star Chart.
Deep within the Blood God Secret Realm.
Mu Cangtian had just escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's mouth.
He was cast into the Blood Sea, his entire body stained by the blood-colored light.
He became just as he was before; apart from his consciousness, not a single part of him could be free.
Mu Cangtian sneered in his heart, realizing that he could not escape his current predicament on his own.
He simply began to review the previous great battle within his sea of consciousness.
After the review, Mu Cangtian discovered that he had done nothing wrong.
Unless he could travel back in time with his memories, no matter how many times he repeated it, he should have made the same choices and arrangements.
There was no other way.
If he had encountered this before, Mu Cangtian would never have believed that he could be tricked so miserably by low-level cultivators.
Furthermore, the foundation of this Lower Realm was clearly different from those he had encountered in the past.
Whether it was that female sword cultivator, that young monk, or those demon emperors, none of them were simple.
His high-level divine abilities and techniques from the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Sect were actually unable to gain any significant advantage against them!
"Hmm?"
Mu Cangtian was suddenly startled, a sense of palpitation striking him.
Then, Mu Cangtian saw a ghost-like Blood God figure appear before him.
After this blood-colored figure grinned and revealed a chilling smile.
It violently dove into the center of Mu Cangtian's brow.
"Audacious! You monsters actually dare to employ such Heavenly Demon tactics!"
Realizing that this blood-colored figure was clearly attempting a forced possession.
Mu Cangtian was greatly shocked, his angry roar echoing through his sea of consciousness.
Having lost control over his physical body, Mu Cangtian could only try to find a way to guard his original heart.
Fortunately, Mu Cangtian also knew a great deal about Secret Techniques in this regard.
He was even clearer that to succeed in possession, no matter where the Secret Technique came from, there were many limitations and difficulties.
With his Spirit Severing cultivation, as long as he guarded his original heart, the opponent would inevitably return empty-handed!
After the blood-colored figure merged into Mu Cangtian's brow.
Mu Cangtian immediately heard a voice exactly the same as his own.
It was as if he had developed a second personality through a mental breakdown.
This voice was constantly urging Mu Cangtian to quickly give up his position.
It claimed to be the true primary personality, the true master of this body!
At the same time, the pressure of the Blood Sea surrounding Mu Cangtian's physical body increased sharply.
The Blood God's polluting power began to scour Mu Cangtian's Divine Soul.
Pain, sorrow, despair, and a massive amount of other negative emotions surged into Mu Cangtian's sea of consciousness.
They coordinated with the blood-colored figure to attack from both inside and outside.
Yet Mu Cangtian sneered repeatedly, feeling that this bit of pressure was merely child's play to him.
In order to break through to Spirit Severing, he had once undergone the trial of the Five Elements Reincarnation Array within his sect.
The soul-deep pain given by that Five Elements Reincarnation Array was far stronger than what was before him!
How could he possibly be defeated by such pressure?
Su Ping watched Mu Cangtian, who sat with his eyes closed and motionless, his entire body bound by Blood-colored Chains in the Blood Sea.
Feeling that the blood-colored figure's progress was slow, he did not show any look of surprise.
Possession is not easy, especially possessing a Spirit Severing cultivator of the same realm.
If one does not cheat, the success rate is naturally slim to none.
Fortunately, regarding Mental Pollution.
Although Su Ping had never studied or learned it, that did not mean he lacked related items in his possession.
Su Ping took out a Jade Slip.
He struck this seemingly ordinary Jade Slip into the center of Mu Cangtian's brow.
The next instant.
The Blood God Power broke through the Jade Slip.
Causing the next wave of pollution to include memory fragments from within the Jade Slip.
Those were memory fragments belonging to the Abyss, coming from the Xuerou Zhi Cheng, a vassal of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.
Memories themselves have no power.
In ordinary combat, the opponent could block them with any simple shielding spell.
If one accidentally saw them, one could also employ a great memory-deletion technique.
However, the current Mu Cangtian was unable to perform any of these small tricks.
He could only watch the memory fragments of Xuerou Zhi Cheng in their entirety within his sea of consciousness.
Then, in the next few breaths.
His consciousness began to clearly descend into madness.
"No, it cannot be! Ah... praise the Lord of Flesh and Blood!"
"No, that's not right, I cannot believe in a heretical god! I must believe in the Lord of Flesh and Blood!"
"Ha! Hahaha!"
"I have attained enlightenment! I have actually been an avatar of the Lord of Flesh and Blood all along!"
"Praise the Lord of Flesh and Blood, please accept my return!"
Mu Cangtian's demeanor began to become increasingly bizarre.
This also caused Su Ping, who witnessed this scene, to once again refresh his understanding of Abyss Pollution.
No matter how one looked at it, the power of this Abyss Pollution was far, far stronger than that of the children of the Evil God.
If this Small Thousand World had encountered an Abyss Monarch instead of the Mother God.
It would likely have been collectively Abyssalized long ago, dragged together into the Abyss to become a part of it.
Mu Cangtian had gone insane.
His prayers to the Lord of Flesh and Blood naturally could not possibly succeed.
Just in case, Su Ping hid inside the Pot Heaven after sweeping him away.
Under the protection of the Pot Heaven, even if Mu Cangtian screamed until his throat tore, the Lord of Flesh and Blood could not possibly hear him.
One incense stick of time later.
As Mu Cangtian's Divine Soul consciousness was consumed in his madness, he entered an unprecedented period of weakness.
The blood-colored figure successfully invaded his sea of consciousness and occupied the position of the master personality.
Watching as Mu Cangtian suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes flickered with blood-colored light.
At the same time, the Blood-colored Chain faded into the surface of his body.
Su Ping knew that the Blood God Avatar's possession had been a success!
Su Ping did not skimp, directly giving Life Potion to repair the injuries of Mu Cangtian, who had become the vessel for the Blood God Avatar.
Having consumed twenty bottles of Life Potion, Mu Cangtian finally had his injuries fully recovered thanks to the quantity.
After seeing Su Ping, he first knelt down on one knee.
Then he stood up again and, under Su Ping's command, displayed various divine abilities and Secret Technique.
As the Blood God Avatar, Mu Cangtian retained all of his memories and skills.
It could be said that everything Mu Cangtian knew before, he now knew as an avatar.
It was just that because the Blood God Avatar was in control.
If Su Ping did not personally micromanage, this Blood God Avatar's self-expression was not much different from an artificial idiot.
But regardless of these or those flaws, it could not change the reality that Su Ping had gained another Spirit Transformation Middle Stage worker!
Furthermore, this worker did not require him to pay wages or cater to their emotions!
After Su Ping finished testing some of Mu Cangtian's abilities, his heart stirred and he began to read his memories.
Because time was tight, he mainly read the most recent memories.
Su Ping immediately learned the location and all the arrangements of Biyuan Palace.
And he learned that in order to monopolize the opportunity, Mu Cangtian had decisively sealed the information channels to the Upper Realm, preventing other Cultivator of Biyuan Palace from reporting the news.
Aside from the High Monk of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect who had been scared away, the only thing he needed to worry about was the subsequent reaction of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Clan Mu Family.
Thinking of this, Su Ping no longer stayed in the Pot Heaven.
He flashed directly back to the Biyuan World.
And after summoning Mu Cangtian,
As Mu Cangtian, this Spirit Transformation Middle Stage expert, personally piloted the Immortal Boat he had previously traveled on.
This luxurious Immortal Boat, no less impressive than Su Ping's own vehicle, carried the previously surrendered indigenous Cultivator and transformed into a beam of white light, leaving Chiyuan Main Peak in an instant.
Inside the Immortal Boat, those indigenous Cultivator of the Biyuan World who were above Foundation Establishment all recognized the Biyuan Palace Master, Mu Cangtian.
Seeing this Mu Cangtian, who came from the Upper Realm and had long been the local emperor of the Biyuan World.
Actually surrender to the Mysterious Force before them, and even humbly take the initiative to pilot the Immortal Boat.
The boldest Cultivator among them hurriedly dismissed the little thoughts in their hearts.
Biyuan Palace.
A stronghold specially created by the Upper Realm for the Biyuan World.
Located on the largest island, this palace complex was composed of thirty-six palaces with a primary theme of emerald green.
These palaces were also the nodes of the Biyuan Palace's protective grand array.
Once fully activated, its power was not inferior to the full version of Chiyuan Main Peak.
Even if the main body of the children of the Evil God took action, they would be hindered by this protective grand array for a period of time, thereby buying time for the Upper Realm Cultivator inside Biyuan Palace to evacuate.
For such a Biyuan Palace, if Su Ping were to bring an army to launch a forced attack, it would be very difficult to succeed without paying a heavy price.
Yet now, Su Ping was using Mu Cangtian's help.
Piloting the Immortal Boat, he easily broke through the layers of Biyuan Palace's grand arrays.
Entering the large plaza in front of the Main Hall.
On both sides of this plaza near the palace, stood rows of hundred-meter-tall bronze statues.
These bronze statues were all fourth-tier puppets brought from the Upper Realm, possessing combat power equivalent to a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
At this moment, thousands of Cultivator, under the management and leadership of dozens of Upper Realm Cultivator, quickly gathered in the plaza, bowing in unison to welcome the Palace Master's return.
The head steward of Biyuan Palace lowered his head, but his heart was filled with some worry.
The Palace Master's return this time was truly too hurried, and he had returned alone in only one Immortal Boat.
Could it be that some slip-up occurred in the expedition to the Lower Realm?
Although he did not want to admit this speculation.
Recalling the celestial changes seen earlier.
Combined with the current situation, the Head Steward had to admit this was likely the most plausible conjecture.
However, this was nothing to be concerned about.
It was enough that the Palace Master and those few sect masters had returned.
Presumably, that Lower Realm must have suffered heavy losses; as long as they recuperated for a while, the Palace Master would set out on an expedition again once better prepared.
Success would be certain, and victory would be immediate!
Thinking of this, the Head Steward had already prepared the flattery he would offer later.
But!
As the Immortal Boat arrived above their heads and came to a stop.
The Head Steward felt something was amiss and could not help but look up at the Immortal Boat.
That was indeed the Palace Master's carriage from when he set out on the expedition.
The Palace Master was indeed on the Immortal Boat, and the aura of his Divine Soul was unmistakable.
The Palace Master was even beginning to manipulate the Array while on the Immortal Boat...
Wait?
What is the Palace Master doing!
The Head Steward's expression changed suddenly, realizing something was wrong.
It was Mu Cangtian, under Su Ping's command, using the authority brought by his status as the Palace Master of Biyuan Palace.
He reduced the power of the Biyuan Palace grand array to its lowest level.
At the same time, he activated several layouts he could fully control and had them destroy other array nodes that were not under his control.
The bronze statue puppets on the plaza, amidst a buzzing sound, all moved in unison, like giant divine soldiers, wreaking havoc in every area of Biyuan Palace.
In an instant, they destroyed large swathes of pavilions and towers, and demolished one array node after another.
When the Upper Realm Cultivators in other areas finally reacted, they wanted to activate the arrays to protect themselves, but often found it was already too late.
"Palace Master!"
The Head Steward cried out in shock, and then saw Mu Cangtian, in whom they had placed their Hope, fly out of the Immortal Boat.
Then, after his cold eyes swept across the area below.
He struck out with a palm, directly smashing a crater with a diameter of over ten thousand meters into the plaza!
Those Cultivators within the crater below the Golden Core stage had their Divine Souls extinguished instantly.
Those above the Golden Core stage were also left on the verge of death.
Su Ping also flew out with the four Great Demon Emperors.
He micro-managed Mu Cangtian into the Main Hall.
Using his Spirit Severing power to control the Seal around the Transmission Array in the Main Hall.
After ensuring no accidents would occur.
Su Ping stood with his hands behind his back, towering in the high sky.
Looking down at the Biyuan Palace, where the flames of war were erupting everywhere as the four Great Demon Emperors and his other subordinates displayed their divine abilities.
Inside Biyuan Palace, many Upper Realm Cultivators who did not know what was happening relied on their trump cards to dodge the first wave of attacks.
Then, a portion of them wanted to head to the Biyuan Palace Main Hall to contact the Upper Realm.
Then these Upper Realm Cultivators encountered the four Great Demon Emperors and were either beaten to death or captured.
Another portion decisively chose to flee.
Those who turned into escape lights and tried to flee.
Were grabbed by a Blood God giant hand that suddenly reached out from the sky, and were then swallowed into the main body of the Blood God.
The very few who managed to dodge the Blood God giant hand by relying on trump cards.
Would also be illuminated by the Three-Colored Divine Light that struck them.
Their trump cards would fail, and they would be grabbed and dragged away by the Blood God giant hand while screaming.
Su Ping also felt that when bullying enemies of the same realm and lower realms.
He seemed to be unusually powerful.
Once the Three-Colored Divine Light came out, regardless of whether they were Upper Realm or Lower Realm Golden Core or Nascent Soul Cultivators.
They had no power to resist and would lose their combat ability with a single sweep.
And such a divine ability, the only flaw being the excessive consumption of Dharma Power, was nothing at all for him, who possessed countless Spirit Herbs.
He was not only invincible among his peers!
He was also a master of group combat capable of taking on a thousand alone!
In half a stick of incense, the subordinates Su Ping brought had suppressed the entire Biyuan Palace.
All the surviving Upper Realm Cultivators were swept by Su Ping into the Sun Moon Star Chart and imprisoned.
As for the remaining Lower Realm Cultivators, he summoned Mu Cangtian to perform a live demonstration that their Palace Master had already defected.
Then, with a mix of carrots and sticks, and taking advantage of the prestige Mu Cangtian brought as a puppet, he painted a grand picture of a bright future for everyone if they followed him well.
These Lower Realm Cultivators, who had always been oppressed by the Upper Realm Cultivators, basically surrendered.
To them, it was just changing one master to continue oppressing them anyway.
Biyuan Palace was settled.
Su Ping ordered Mu Cangtian to sit in the Main Hall and guard the Transmission Array just in case.
He himself split his forces into three routes to head to the three major sects of the Biyuan World.
Preparing to act before the news could spread and cause any changes.
Sweep away the three great sects of this Biyuan World.
Take all the foundations they have collected over these thousand years and claim them for my own use.
"Those divine arts and secret techniques, those heavenly treasures..."
"They should all belong to me so that their greatest utility can be realized!"
"If they were scattered among the mortals, it would be a lot of trouble to recover them!"
"Fortunately, their main forces have basically been wiped out!"
"The Nascent Soul Old Ancestors currently left guarding the sects will not exceed the number of fingers on one hand!"
"Blockading the enemy sects and then leveling them—with my current strength... it shouldn't be much of a problem!"
