Chapter 268

In an instant, the patterns of the blood sacrifice array had expanded to the edge of the battlefield.

Those patterns spread on the ground like living things, each one glowing with a seductive blood-colored light, swallowing all the essence, blood, and residual souls on the battlefield, and sending them into the center of the array—under the feet of that four-faced, eight-armed Asura.

Beside Su Chen, Bai Kui's face had become ugly to the extreme.

"These animals, they never intended to win head-on from the beginning. This battle is just to use the casualties of both sides to sacrifice to the array!"

Bai Kui was right.

From the moment the Asura Legion launched the attack, they didn't count on breaking the Bai Hu clan's defense line with the strength of Xuan Immortal and Jin Xian levels.

Those Asura warriors who were not afraid of death were themselves the sacrifices for the blood sacrifice array.

Along with the Bai Hu clan members who died in battle, they all became the nourishment for the array.

Su Chen looked up at the hundred-foot Asura, his gaze sinking.

The blood-colored flames on the four-faced, eight-armed Asura became more and more intense, and his aura was still climbing. At this trend, it wouldn't take long for this blood sacrifice array to be completely formed.

By then, a combat power that had stepped into the threshold of the Great Luo Jin Xian, no one present could stop.

"Roar—"

Just at this moment, a long whistle came from the depths of the Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein.

That whistle was not loud, it could even be said to be somewhat low.

But the Geng-Metal law power it carried was like an invisible knife, directly splitting the surging blood energy above the battlefield into a crack.

"It's the Emperor Taiyi cultivator of my Bai Hu clan." Bai Kui's eyes lit up, "Reinforcements are here!"

Before the voice fell, a white-gold escape light pierced the sky and descended on the battlefield in an instant.

The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing white-gold battle armor with a cold expression.

His double pupils were pale golden, vertical pupils like blades, and his hair was silver-white, every strand seeming to be woven from Geng-Metal threads.

His aura was deep and restrained, but the moment he landed, the Geng-Metal Qi within a radius of several miles spontaneously gathered toward him.

This was a Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian of the Bai Hu clan.

"All patrol teams, retreat three hundred miles!"

The voice of this Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian was like the collision of gold and stone, without the slightest nonsense.

He did not look at the others on the battlefield, his gaze locked directly on the four-faced Asura at the center of the array.

The captains of the various patrol teams reacted extremely quickly and immediately greeted their respective team members to retreat.

"Go! Chi Tong, retreat quickly!" Bai Kui pulled Su Chen.

Su Chen did not linger, followed the main force and retreated rapidly.

But his divine sense never moved away from the battlefield.

The duel between two Emperor Taiyi Golden Immortals, this kind of battle at the same level as him, was also an extremely rare opportunity for him to observe.

More importantly—the way the Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian mobilized the Geng-Metal laws had immeasurable value for his understanding of the Metal element Great Dao.

Three hundred miles away, Su Chen stopped and looked back from afar.

In the center of the battlefield, two figures had already collided.

The Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian transformed into a half-body Bai Hu Dharma image, and every claw that fell tore out Geng-Metal cracks dozens of miles long.

Space was torn apart like paper under that incomparably sharp claw wind, and slowly healed under the repair of the laws of heaven and earth.

And that four-faced Asura attacked with eight arms simultaneously, eight blood-colored magic treasures transformed into eight blood-colored long dragons, entangling the Bai Hu clan cultivator, while the blood sacrifice array at his feet was still operating crazily.

Continuous collision sounds came from afar, and the ground trembled constantly with the battle of the two Emperor Taiyi Golden Immortals.

At first, the two could still fight to a draw.

But as time passed, more and more essence and blood gathered in the blood sacrifice array, and the aura of that four-faced Asura was constantly climbing.

"Not good." Su Chen's face changed beside Bai Kui, "That array is about to be formed!"

As soon as the words fell, the blood sacrifice array suddenly shone brightly.

Eight blood-colored light pillars shot into the sky, converging into a huge blood-colored magic seal in the high sky, and crashed into the four-faced Asura's body.

At that moment, the four-faced Asura let out a long whistle, eight arms opened simultaneously, and the blood-colored flames all over his body surged dozens of times.

His realm still stayed at the peak of the Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian, but the power contained in every strike he swung had already stepped into another level.

That was the combat power of a Great Luo Jin Xian.

The Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian was slapped back by a palm, golden blood overflowing from his mouth, his face changing drastically.

"This is bad." Su Chen said in a low voice.

Bai Kui and other Bai Hu clan cultivators beside him all clenched their weapons, gritting their teeth, but no one dared to step forward.

In a battle at this level, Xuan Immortals and Golden Immortals rushing up would only result in death.

Just when everyone thought the situation would be completely overturned.

That Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian retreated several miles, reached into his bosom with his right hand, and took out a mysterious white-gold token.

He began to chant an obscure and ancient spell.

Every syllable of that spell caused the earth under his feet to resonate.

Deep in the Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein, a power that was unimaginably vast was slowly waking up.

The tiger patterns on the token lit up one by one.

"Power of the ancestral vein..." Su Chen's pupils narrowed slightly.

He sensed that in the deepest part of the Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein, there was an extremely vast power responding to the pendulum in the Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian's hand, pulsing with the call of the token.

In the blink of an eye, all the tiger patterns on the token lit up.

That Bai Hu clan cultivator sacrificed the token and roared.

"Bai Hu Ancestral Vein—Suppress!"

"Boom!"

A pure white light pillar shot into the sky from the deepest part of the Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein, piercing through the heavens and earth, stinging everyone so much that they had to close their eyes.

The Geng-Metal law power contained in that light pillar was pure to the extreme, as if the Metal Great Dao at the beginning of the world's creation was manifesting here.

The light pillar crashed onto that blood sacrifice array in an instant.

"Crack—"

The base of the blood sacrifice array was like mud in front of that white light, shattering inch by inch.

The eight blood-colored light pillars broke one after another, and the blood-colored magic seal floating in the air was pierced through in one blow, turning into blood mist filling the sky and dissipating.

"Ah..."

That four-faced Asura let out a shrill scream.

The moment the blood sacrifice array was broken, the backlash force surged into his body like a mountain and sea.

The blood-colored magic treasures on his eight arms exploded simultaneously, and the blood-colored flames all over his body shrank rapidly.

His aura fell off a cliff.

From the peak of the Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian, he fell straight to the early stage of the Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian.

The Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He put away the token, murderous intent surging in his double pupils, his whole person transformed into a huge Bai Hu phantom that was white-gold throughout, and bit down with his mouth.

"Bai Hu Devours the Heavens!"

That bite bit through space, bit through laws, and also bit through the last vitality of that four-faced Asura.

Unwillingness and fear appeared on the four faces of the Asura simultaneously, and then they were swallowed by the white-gold sharpness, turning into powder and dissipating between heaven and earth.

Along with the remaining Asura warriors, they also fled in all directions at the same time, but were swallowed up by that angry Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian in one bite.

On the battlefield, it became quiet instantly.

"We won!"

Bai Kui was the first to let out a cheer, and then the Bai Hu clan cultivators around also cheered and raised their arms, the sound wave rushing straight into the sky.

Su Chen stood in the cheering crowd, a smile of excitement like everyone else on his face.

But his mind had already flown elsewhere.

When that white light from the depths of the Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein fell, he clearly sensed that at the source of that Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein power, another powerful Metal-attribute power aura flashed and disappeared.

Su Chen guessed that it was the Innate Geng-Xin Indestructible Spiritual Light he was looking for, which was indeed hidden in the deepest part of the Geng-Metal Ancestral Vein.

After the battle, the captains of each team quickly reorganized the team and led everyone to visit that Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian.

Su Chen suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and followed Bai Kui's footsteps into the crowd.

That Bai Hu clan Emperor Taiyi Jin Xian stood in the center of the battlefield, the blood stains on his battle armor not yet dry, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Everyone, you have worked hard in this battle."
