Chapter 789: Three Realms of the Grandmaster, Undying Blood Shadow (6000)

The giant formed of blood-colored baleful energy slammed a fist into the blood curtain.

A fist-shaped indentation appeared on the blood curtain, and the phantoms of the twelve exotic beasts at the twelve cardinal points shattered instantly!

Hum—

The entire Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array trembled in its wake; Bai Yan had nearly shattered the entire formation with a single punch!

Wuri Tianji's expression changed drastically, and the flood dragon skeleton before him rapidly expanded, eventually becoming a massive behemoth over three hundred meters long.

This flood dragon skeleton was the body of an eighth-grade exotic beast!

Once a martial artist achieves the Grandmaster realm, they no longer need to have implants.

But it is different for sorcerers; Earth-grade magic treasures can be forged from many middle-three-grade implants, and they can also be forged from upper-three-grade implants.

Even for Earth-grade magic treasures, there is inevitably a difference in power depending on whether or not they contain upper-three-grade implants.

It is just that upper-three-grade exotic beasts are extremely rare in this world today, so the vast majority of life-bound magic treasures forged by top-tier True Persons are made with middle-three-grade implants.

The eighth-grade flood dragon skeleton in Wuri Tianji's hands was passed down through generations of the Wuri tribe; his life-bound magic treasure was forged using this skeleton as the primary material, supplemented by other middle-three-grade implants and various materials, and its power is among the best even among Heaven-grade magic treasures!

At this moment, flesh and scales rapidly grew on the flood dragon skeleton, and a pitch-black flood dragon appeared above the mountain peak.

With the appearance of this flood dragon, the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, within which lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, while gale-force winds and torrential rain descended within a thousand-meter radius!

Eight pillars of lightning appeared out of thin air, standing within the Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array, forcibly propping up the formation that was on the verge of collapse.

The twelve shattered beast soul phantoms reappeared, becoming even more solid and powerful than before.

Gale, rain, lightning, blood-baleful energy, and beast roars.

Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend formation style—【Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder Roar】!

Five different attributes of supernatural powers were perfectly fused together and then integrated into the Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array, raising the power of this formation by a notch.

Top-tier True Persons are similar to Grandmasters in that both perfectly fuse several supernatural powers together.

It is just that Grandmasters condense a Martial Domain, while top-tier True Persons condense a formation style.

Wuri Tianji condensed the Earthly Fiend formation style with five supernatural powers to advance to a top-tier True Person, and later achieved the thirty-six Heavenly Dippers, thereby mastering the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend formation style.

The thirty-six Heavenly Dippers are thirty-six types of sixth-grade implants; unlike the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, the thirty-six Heavenly Dippers do not condense new supernatural powers, but rather allow the combination of various supernatural powers to generate new changes, making the formation even more powerful.

Wuri Tianji had already mastered the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend formation style 【Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder Roar】 and integrated it into the Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array, which was the only reason he had barely managed to block this punch from Bai Yan.

"Bo'erhu! Do you dare to fight this commander?"

Bai Yan's voice resounded through the heavens and earth, and the blood-colored giant threw another punch.

Bang—

The earth shook and the mountains swayed, and the blood curtain trembled violently once again.

The pitch-black flood dragon in the air had its body split inch by inch, and fresh blood gushed out, turning into a rain of blood across the sky!

Wuri Tianji spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression extremely ugly.

He had anticipated that the Great Lan Dynasty would send multiple Heaven-Capital-level powerhouses to surround and attack Bo'erhu, but he had not expected such methods.

At this moment, Bai Yan was governing three army formations with the Dao of the Army Lord, and his combat power had already exceeded the level of a Grandmaster, enough to contend with Bo'erhu head-on!

In other words, Bai Yan now possessed the 'Prince-level' combat power of the Western Continent; he, combined with more than three thousand Imperial Guard soldiers, could threaten Bo'erhu!

If there were one or two more Heaven-Capital powerhouses assisting, there would be no more suspense in the battle.

And at a glance, Wuri Tianji saw that the Great Lan Dynasty had sent four more Heaven-Capital powerhouses this time!

Even if he fought to the death to entangle two of them, the remaining two Heaven-Capital powerhouses and Bai Yan joining forces would be enough to slay Bo'erhu!

"Your Majesty..."

Wuri Tianji turned to look at Bo'erhu, wanting to open his mouth to persuade him.

But Bo'erhu took the initiative to issue an order first:

"Open the array."

The Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array was not a formation specifically used for defense in the first place.

On the contrary, it was a formation mainly used for killing enemies; it required letting the enemy into the array and then killing them.

But doing so also gave the enemy a chance to kill the one setting up the formation!

Wuri Tianji hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to obey the order and opened the array completely.

The next second, the blood curtain expanded toward the surroundings at an extremely fast speed, shrouding everything within a ten-mile radius!

All personnel of the Barbarian-Slaying Army three miles away were also forced into this array.

Bai Yan, transformed into a blood-colored giant, did not immediately strike at Bo'erhu, but instead stretched out his hands, and strands of black baleful energy surged out from his body.

These baleful energies quickly condensed together, eventually turning into a long spear in the hands of the blood-colored giant.

A black dragon phantom circled the long spear, emitting bursts of dragon roars.

Then Bai Yan raised his hand and struck a beam of light into the sky.

This beam of light flew to a higher place, eventually turning into a Heaven-Mixing Compass with a diameter of over five hundred meters.

The compass rotated rapidly, casting down a gentle starlight that covered the expanded Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array.

These starlights easily penetrated the Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Array and Wuri Tianji's 【Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder Roar】, shining on everyone inside the array!

Wuri Tianji looked at the starlight falling on him; he did not feel any threat, nor did he suffer any harm, but his face turned incomparably pale.

"Analyzing Dao principles, True Lord Yunshu..."

He knew that this must be the method of that Imperial Preceptor of the Great Lan Dynasty!

It was just that the person himself should be as the King expected and had indeed not come to this place; otherwise, this strike would not have resulted in nothing changing.

Wuri Tianji did not know what purpose that True Lord had in leaving this method for Bai Yan, but he instinctively felt very uneasy.

One should not underestimate the methods of a True Lord, even from a thousand miles away!

Li Fei was also looking up at the compass in the sky; he had once seen True Lord Yunshu perform a similar method with his own eyes, so he immediately understood that this was related to True Lord Yunshu.

But after this compass appeared, the Northern Barbarian array was not broken, and not a single person was injured, which made Li Fei feel somewhat confused; he did not understand the significance of this compass.

After Bai Yan unleashed this pre-prepared method, he immediately ordered:

"Barbarian-Slaying Army, follow this commander to kill the enemy!"

Boom—

Just as his voice fell, the mountain peak in front of him suddenly shook violently.

It was Bo'erhu exerting force under his feet, nearly collapsing the mountain peak beneath him!

This Northern Barbarian King instantly appeared above the head of the blood-colored giant, and the black armor on his body had changed, growing spikes and a helmet that wrapped his entire body.

Bo'erhu punched the face of the blood-colored giant.

Bang!!!

Thunder exploded.

The blood-colored giant was sent flying back more than three hundred meters!

Immediately after, Bo'erhu appeared in front of the blood-colored giant again and punched its face once more.

Then came the third punch.

With three consecutive punches, Bo'erhu knocked the blood-colored giant transformed by Bai Yan back a thousand meters!

All the trees along the way were snapped, and some small hills were even razed to the ground.

The whistling gale blew all the way to several thousand meters away, making the Golden-Thread Jade-Scale Armor on Li Fei rattle.

Even from several thousand meters away, Li Fei could feel the terrifying power of these three punches!

The blood-colored giant transformed by Bai Yan was composed of three thousand six hundred Imperial Guard soldiers, and these Imperial Guard soldiers, including their armor, each weighed over three hundred catties.

In other words, the weight of this blood-colored giant was at least over one million catties!

Yet it was knocked back a thousand meters by Bo'erhu in three punches!

Just as the three Grandmasters on the Barbarian-Slaying Army side and Mi Han intended to step in to help, Bai Yan's military order came:

"Kill Wuri Tianji first!"

At the same time, the black dragon spear in the blood-colored giant's hand suddenly tore through the air and swept across Bo'erhu in the air.

It looked like a big stick hitting a mosquito; Bo'erhu was also swept away for more than a thousand meters!

Boom!!!

Because the speed of the spear was too fast, after Bo'erhu flew out, the muffled thunder of the spear tearing through the air sounded belatedly.

The blood-colored giant's helmet had completely shattered, and its face was indented.

But it was recovering at an extremely fast speed.

On the other side, the black armor on Bo'erhu's body was similarly shattered and was also recovering, but the speed of recovery was clearly slower than that of the blood-colored giant.

Bai Yan had three thousand six hundred Imperial Guard soldiers and three Martial Grandmasters helping him share the damage, so he was not afraid of trading injuries with Bo'erhu at all!

Moreover, Bo'erhu had to collide with him head-on; otherwise, he would rush over to kill Wuri Tianji first.

The blood-colored giant charged forward with the spear, and Bo'erhu turned into a black ray of light, rushing toward the black dragon spear.

Boom!!!!

A white air wave exploded in the air and spread to the surroundings.

The earth shook, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

The black dragon spear in the blood-colored giant's hand shattered inch by inch!

But before Bo'erhu could continue to close in, the blood-colored giant had already slapped him away!

The battle between the two looked very simple and crude, without flashy supernatural powers, nor did they unfold a vast Martial Domain.

But every move carried earth-shattering power; if they were dueling on that mountain peak, the mountain would have completely collapsed by now!

Top-tier True Persons are divided into three realms: Earthly Fiend level, Heavenly Dipper level, and Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection.

Martial Grandmasters are also divided into three realms:

Flourishing Peak, Divine Derivation, Establishing the Dao.

The first realm, Flourishing Peak, refers to a Grandmaster who has just cultivated a Martial Dao Domain and must continuously strengthen their Martial Dao Domain to expand its coverage.

Once the power of the Martial Dao Domain is cultivated to the extreme, the coverage can reach a radius of one thousand meters!

The second realm, Divine Derivation, refers to the combination of multiple divine abilities to derive new variations.

Upon reaching this realm, although no new divine abilities are added, one can manifest new killing moves and methods.

The third realm, Establishing the Dao, is where divine abilities are essentially fragments of Dao rules; only when multiple divine abilities are pieced together is it possible to condense them into a Dao rule.

The Establishing the Dao realm is the formation of the embryonic form of a Dao rule, only one step away from the Dao rule itself.

Upon reaching this realm, a Grandmaster's control over their Martial Dao Domain is already as they wish, allowing them to condense and compress the thousand-meter Martial Dao Domain to cover the surface of their body, thereby making the power of the Martial Dao Domain even more formidable!

At this moment, both Bai Yan and Boerhu are doing exactly this, condensing and compressing their own Martial Dao Domains onto the surface of their bodies.

Therefore, every collision between the two, while appearing simple and brutal, is in reality a collision of Martial Dao Domains, a struggle between divine ability and divine ability!

Seeing that Bai Yan is able to contend with Boerhu without falling behind.

The three Grandmasters on the side of the Slaughtering Barbarian Army rise into the air one after another, flying toward that nameless mountain peak.

After becoming a Grandmaster, even without possessing a flight divine ability, one can still fly through the air.

After the three Grandmasters rise into the air, two True Persons from the Law Enforcement Pavilion immediately cooperate with Mi Han to cast the Wind-Riding Technique.

Gusts of hurricane-force winds appear out of thin air, sweeping up all the remaining members of the Slaughtering Barbarian Army, while simultaneously carrying over three thousand people in low-altitude flight!

They decisively execute Bai Yan's military order: kill Wuri Tianji first!

The Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Array is capable of absorbing the power of warriors after beast-transformation, making it the greatest variable on the field.

Therefore, Bai Yan demands that this person be killed first.

Just as the group flies a few dozen meters, the wild winds surrounding them suddenly stop, and the three thousand-plus people fall one after another!

Fortunately, it is low-altitude flight, so no one is injured as a result.

Mi Han glances at Wuri Tianji on the distant mountain peak and lets out a cold snort.

Ahead, the three Grandmasters who had flown into the air are also forced to descend.

Flight is forbidden here!

Wuri Tianji already mastered a wind-attribute divine ability, and one of the variations derived from his Heavenly Dipper Earthly Fiend Array formation, 【Heaven Earth Wind Thunder Roar】, is the prohibition of flight!

At this moment, combined with the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Array, it temporarily suppresses the flight methods of Mi Han and the three Grandmasters.

"Mere barbarians, daring to be rampant?"

Mi Han says in a loud voice.

He raises his hand, and a cyan sword light flies out from his sleeve.

The sword light grows upon meeting the wind, and in an instant, it becomes the size of a mountain peak!

This absurdly huge flying sword stabs toward Wuri Tianji three miles away.

Wuri Tianji is able to temporarily prevent the three Grandmasters and Mi Han from flying, but he has no way to stop Mi Han's Heaven-grade flying sword from flying as well.

A beast soul phantom, one hundred meters tall and resembling a fierce tiger, blocks the path of the flying sword, biting toward it.

But in the blink of an eye, this beast soul is sliced in half by the flying sword and completely shattered!

Boom, boom, boom—

Bolts of thunder continuously strike the flying sword.

One after another, huge beast soul phantoms also block the front of the flying sword.

The mountain-like flying sword becomes smaller and smaller, but the sword Qi becomes increasingly sharp, and the sword intent becomes increasingly powerful!

All of this seems complex, but in reality, it happens in the blink of an eye.

Mi Han's Heaven-grade flying sword successively shatters twelve beast soul phantoms, hard-carries thirty-six lightning strikes, and even pierces through three layers of blood curtains, finally crossing the three-mile distance to strike before Wuri Tianji!

One sword breaks ten thousand techniques.

This is the demeanor of a top-tier sword cultivator!

"Roar—"

The black flood dragon in the air lets out a dragon roar, dives, and bites the incoming flying sword with its mouth.

The cyan sword light sweeps across the entire body of the black flood dragon like flowing water, causing its scales to shatter inch by inch and flesh and blood to fly everywhere!

Blood falls from the sky like a rainstorm, all of it merging into the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Array.

Wuri Tianji uses his own Heaven-grade natal magic treasure to forcibly entangle Mi Han's natal flying sword.

When Mi Han unleashes his natal flying sword, Qiu Zi'an, the principal of Changping University, takes the lead and dashes forward.

Although she cannot fly through the air, this female Grandmaster's movement speed is still extremely fast, resembling a purple meteor!

Ripples of air spread to both sides; Qiu Zi'an's movement speed is already approaching the speed of sound, and she quickly crosses a distance of over a thousand meters, arriving atop a small hill.

She stomps down fiercely, and the small hill beneath her feet collapses directly downward!

Subsequently, this female Grandmaster leaps over thirty meters high and slashes forward with her blade.

A purple radiance blooms from within her body, instantly crossing a distance of one thousand meters forward!

This purple radiance is her Martial Dao Domain, capable of extending one thousand meters; this is already the limit of the Flourishing Peak realm.

Then, this thousand-meter-long purple light detaches from Qiu Zi'an's body, continuously shortening and condensing, finally transforming into a crescent-shaped purple blade aura, which slashes toward Wuri Tianji on the mountain peak while carrying raging flames.

This is a variation derived from Qiu Zi'an's Martial Dao Domain—transforming the domain into a blade!

It can highly condense one's own Martial Dao Domain and transform it into a blade aura for long-range attacks.

She is a Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation realm!

Moreover, the derived ability gives her a few of the methods of an Establishing the Dao realm Grandmaster!

Facing the incoming purple blade aura, Wuri Tianji extends his palm forward; the twelve beast soul phantoms that had just been shattered by Mi Han's flying sword re-condense, then shatter on their own, forming a massive blood-colored vortex.

The purple blade aura is swallowed by this blood-colored vortex.

But the next second, this blood-colored vortex tears apart!

Wuri Tianji spits out a mouthful of blood.

Simultaneously blocking the attacks of one Heaven-Dipper-grade sword cultivator and one Divine Derivation realm Grandmaster is still too strenuous for him.

Even with the help of the great array's power, he has sustained not-insignificant injuries!

Qiu Zi'an retracts her Martial Dao Domain; after nourishing it for a moment, she will be able to unleash a second strike.

Her fighting style is very similar to that of a sword cultivator: both possess astonishing killing power; they do not strike unless necessary, but once they do, it is to take a life!

At the same time, the other two Grandmasters have also crossed over a thousand meters and will soon be able to attack Wuri Tianji.

Targeted by four Heaven-Capital-grade powerhouses working in unison, even with the assistance of the great array, Wuri Tianji will likely be beaten to death within ten breaths!

On the mountain peak, Puciva, a Hegemon-Capital powerhouse of the Dream Lion tribe who had previously questioned Boerhu, suddenly lets out a heaven-shaking roar.

Immediately following this, two brilliant stars appear behind him, and behind each star are phantoms of exotic beasts.

The two brilliant stars disintegrate almost simultaneously, transforming into ten thousand feet of starlight that illuminates the entire mountain peak!

A flash of sorrow passes through Wuri Tianji's eyes.

Puciva is the youngest Hegemon-Capital powerhouse in the history of the Dream Lion tribe; he is only thirty-nine years old this year and has already cultivated two divine abilities.

With his talent, he has a great chance of becoming a Heaven-Capital powerhouse in the future.

But at this moment, Puciva chooses to beast-transform without the slightest hesitation!

A Dao Foundation realm warrior beast-transforming can choose to disintegrate the five implants within their body one by one.

A Martial Dao Master beast-transforming can choose to disintegrate the divine abilities they have condensed.

Puciva disintegrates both of his divine abilities simultaneously to exchange for the greatest amount of power!

And this also means that the most talented warrior of the Dream Lion tribe no longer exists.

Following Puciva's lead in beast-transforming, four Hegemon-Capital powerhouses of the Wuri tribe also beast-transform one after another!

Compared to others, their loyalty to Boerhu is naturally the highest.

These four Hegemon-Capital powerhouses are all Martial Dao Masters: two with dual divine abilities, one with three, and one with four.

All four choose to disintegrate all of their divine abilities!

Five powerful auras shoot into the sky, followed by five blood-colored pillars of light erupting from the mountain peak and merging into the entire great array.

Five Martial Dao Masters beast-transform first to exchange for the most powerful strength, then sacrifice themselves without hesitation, merging into the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Array!

Having received the sacrifice of the five beast-transformed Martial Dao Masters, the power of the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Array immediately rises to another level.

Five blood-colored human figures appear out of thin air beside Wuri Tianji; they are precisely the five powerhouses who sacrificed themselves.

At this moment, these five still retain most of their consciousness, yet the auras on their bodies are even weaker than they were before their beast-transformation.

But now, just like the twelve beast souls from before, as long as the great array is not broken, they are immortal and indestructible, capable of infinite resurrection!

Looking at these five blood shadows, Wuri Tianji sheds two lines of blood tears.

Among the Wuri tribe Hegemon-Capital powerhouses who chose to sacrifice themselves, there are old friends he has known for decades, as well as his own nephew.

The great array will eventually dissipate, and these five will sooner or later completely vanish between heaven and earth.

From the moment they chose to sacrifice themselves, they had no path to survival left!

The five turn and look at Wuri Tianji, and one of them laughs heroically:

"Tianji, just watch us break the enemy, hahahahaha—"

Subsequently, the five leap off the mountain peak together, killing toward Qiu Zi'an, who is charging at the very front!

Qiu Zi'an's gaze is sharp; after the five approach within a hundred meters of her, the previous purple blade aura reappears.

The crescent-shaped blade aura burns with purple fire, completing a sweep at a speed over five times the speed of sound, instantly passing through the bodies of the five.

The next second, the five Hegemon-Capital powerhouses are slashed into two pieces!

Facing this strike, the five had no opportunity to unleash their divine abilities at all!

A Grandmaster can use a Martial Dao Domain to suppress the divine abilities of a Martial Dao Master, but if multiple Martial Dao Masters are present within the Martial Dao Domain simultaneously, and the number of their divine abilities is in the plural, then even a Grandmaster cannot suppress them all.

However, the derivative changes of Qiu Zi'an's Martial Dao Domain are highly independent.

Her purple blade aura is manifested from her Martial Dao Domain; the moment it makes contact with a Martial Dao Master, it exerts domain suppression, causing all of their divine abilities to fail.

Therefore, with that single strike just now, Qiu Zi'an effectively formed five instances of one-on-one suppression in an instant, thereby beheading five Martial Dao Masters with one blade!

But soon, five blood-colored figures reappeared and continued to charge toward Qiu Zi'an.

Facing a Grandmaster with such astonishing lethality as Qiu Zi'an, five immortal and indestructible Martial Dao Masters who can continuously resurrect are actually quite effective at countering her.

Qi Zhou and the President of Qingyun University, Ji Yifan, two Grandmasters, did not make a move to help Qiu Zi'an.

They knew that Qiu Zi'an would not be in danger, and they also saw that the key to the problem lay with Wuri Tianji.

The opponent can continuously absorb the heaven and earth spiritual energy from the outside world with the help of the formation; if the great formation is not broken, those beast souls and those five blood shadows can still be resurrected many more times.

Therefore, the two continued to charge toward Wuri Tianji; they did not have long-range, powerful attack methods like Qiu Zi'an, so they could only close the distance before attacking.

On the mountain peak, no experts from Badu chose to sacrifice themselves for the time being.

Instead, more than thirty warriors from Tudu chose to beast-transform without reservation, disintegrating the five types of implants within their bodies, and then sacrificed themselves to merge into the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Formation.

It is just that the power of these Tudu warriors is too weak; they can at most besiege a Martial Dao Master, but they are completely insufficient when facing a Grandmaster.

Seeing that Qi Zhou and Ji Yifan were about to attack Wuri Tianji, nine fire dragons suddenly charged into the blood curtain!

Two of the fire dragons charged toward Qi Zhou and Ji Yifan, while the other seven fire dragons headed toward Bai Yan, who was currently fighting Bo'erhu!

"Bai Yan—"

An aged voice resounded through the heavens and earth:

"Today is the day you die!"

In the air, a person stepped on a black boat and charged into the battlefield.

The Great Elder of the Fire Qilin Clan, Nomuhan, has arrived!

Requesting monthly tickets.
