Chapter 582: Blood Sacrifice Array, Immortal Music Descends to the World
Accompanied by even more violent tremors coming from deep underground, the entire Qinglong Peak seemed as if it were about to be torn apart. Countless blood-red pillars of light shot up from the depths of the ground, dyeing the originally clear sky a scarlet color like blood.
"This... this is impossible!" Taixuan Laozu looked in shock at the earth changing beneath his feet, "What exactly has the Blood Fiend Sect laid out beneath Qinglong Peak?"
It could be seen that the originally solid mountain body began to collapse, revealing a massive complex of buildings hidden deep underground. These structures were all built from blood-red stone, their surfaces carved with dense, evil Runes, each one emitting a nauseating, bloody stench.
Most shocking of all was that the arrangement of these buildings was designed entirely according to a certain ancient Dharma Array pattern; the underground of the entire Qinglong Peak had actually been hollowed out for the most part to build a massive Blood Sacrifice Array.
"The Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array!" Xingchenzi recognized the origin of this array, his face instantly turning ashen, "A forbidden Dharma Array from legend capable of connecting to the Jiuyou Diyu! The Blood Fiend Sect is mad; they want to destroy the entire Cultivation World!"
Upon hearing Xingchenzi's exclamation, the Blood Fiend Sect Elder let out a triumphant, wild laugh: "Hehehe... you know your stuff! Correct, this is the Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array that our Blood Fiend Sect spent a thousand years secretly building. Today, we shall use the blood and souls of all of you to awaken the Yuan Gu Moshen sleeping in the depths of the Jiuyou!"
As his voice fell, the entire array began to operate violently. Countless blood-colored Runes flowed across the surfaces of the buildings, twisting like living things and emitting an evil power that made one's heart palpitate. Even more terrifying was that the array began to emit a powerful suction, attempting to draw the vital blood and souls of everyone present into it.
"Not good! Everyone, scatter!" Sensing this terrifying suction, Lin Xuan hurriedly shouted a warning. But it was too late; some cultivators with lower cultivation levels could no longer control their bodies and began flying toward the center of the array.
"Help! I can't control my own body!" A loose cultivator shouted in terror, but his body was uncontrollably drawn by the array. Just as he was about to fall into the pool of blood, a pale golden light suddenly enveloped him, preventing him from falling further.
Xiao Yuan braced her weak body, using all her strength to release the power of the Compassionate and Harmonious Dao: "Everyone, gather toward me! My power can temporarily resist the array's attraction!"
However, facing such a massive evil Dharma Array, Xiao Yuan's power appeared to be a drop in the bucket. Her face grew increasingly pale, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth; she was clearly at the end of her rope.
"Xiao Yuan! Don't push yourself!" Lin Xuan looked at her with worry, his heart filled with anxiety. If Xiao Yuan fell, everyone present would likely become a sacrifice for the blood ritual.
At this critical moment, Yunxiaozi suddenly let out an angry roar: "Damn you, old ghost of the Blood Fiend Sect! You want my Blood Disk? Dream on! Since everyone is going to die, then let's all perish together!"
He no longer held back any of his strength, beginning to burn his own life essence and frantically spurring the power of the Blood Disk. The entire disk began to tremble violently, the terrifying energy contained within it reaching the verge of spiraling out of control.
"Blood Demon Great Art—Blood Explosion of Heaven and Earth!"
Following Yunxiaozi's wild roar, the Blood Disk suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of blood light. This blood light clashed violently with the Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array; the two evil forces collided, producing energy fluctuations that seemed to destroy heaven and earth.
"Boom—"
The entire Qinglong Peak began to totter under this impact; rocks tumbled and the ground cracked. A collision of this magnitude was enough to raze everything within a radius of several hundred miles to the ground.
"Madman! This madman wants to drag us down with him!" Seeing that the situation was dire, Guisha Laozu immediately began looking for an opportunity to escape. However, the suction of the Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array was too powerful; even an evil path expert like him found it difficult to break free.
Seeing Yunxiaozi's actions, the Blood Fiend Sect Elder's eyes flashed with a hint of irritation: "Ignorant ant! How dare you ruin our great undertaking!"
With a wave of his hand, dozens of massive blood-colored tentacles surged from the array, attempting to subdue Yunxiaozi. But Yunxiaozi was completely insane by now; the power of the Blood Disk, spurred by his burning life essence, had become extremely unstable, and any external interference could trigger an even larger explosion.
"Hahaha! Come! Everyone come!" Yunxiaozi laughed wildly, "Let's go to hell together!"
Just at this hair-trigger moment, melodious Immortal music suddenly drifted down from the sky. This Immortal music was as pure as the sounds of heaven, forming a stark contrast to the bloody slaughter below.
"Dong—dong—dong—"
Accompanied by the Immortal music, the clouds above the nine heavens began to slowly part, revealing a scene of the golden, brilliant Immortal Realm. Within that golden light, one could faintly see Immortal palaces and pavilions, with Immortal cranes dancing—a scene of solemnity and holiness.
"The... the Immortal Realm?" Taixuan Laozu widened his eyes, looking at the sky in disbelief, "The powerhouses of the Immortal Realm have actually taken notice of this place?"
A majestic and compassionate voice came from the sky, resounding like thunder in everyone's heart: "Demons are wreaking havoc in the Human Realm, threatening the safety of the Three Realms; how can the Immortal Realm sit idly by?"
Following this voice, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, shining precisely on the center of the Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array. This pillar of light contained pure Immortal Family power, forming a powerful counter-clash against the evil power of the Blood Sacrifice Array.
"No! Impossible!" Seeing this scene, the Blood Fiend Sect Elder let out a desperate roar, "How could the Immortal Realm interfere in the affairs of the Human Realm? This violates the Three Realms Contract!"
"The Three Realms Contract does indeed stipulate that the Immortal Realm cannot interfere in the Human Realm at will, but when demons attempt to use a blood sacrifice to awaken a Yuan Gu Moshen, such behavior has already threatened the fundamental order of the Three Realms." That majestic voice sounded again, "Remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect, your crimes have already transcended the scope of the Human Realm!"
Under the illumination of the golden pillar of light, the Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array began to show cracks. Those blood-red Runes gradually dimmed under the purification of the Immortal Family power, and the operation of the entire array became unstable.
Feeling this pure Immortal Family power, a warm current surged in Xiao Yuan's heart. She discovered with pleasant surprise that her Compassionate and Harmonious Dao was actually resonating with this Immortal Family power; the two forces merged, allowing her strength to reach an unprecedented level of improvement.
"Is this... the guidance of Master Huiming?" Xiao Yuan thanked him silently in her heart, then channeled all her power to cooperate with the Immortal Family pillar of light to purify the Blood Sacrifice Array.
The pale golden light and the golden Immortal light echoed each other, forming an even more powerful force of purification. Under the impact of this power, the Ten Thousand Year Blood Sacrifice Array began to collapse rapidly.
"Ah! My array! My thousand years of hard work!" Seeing his masterpiece about to be destroyed in an instant, the Blood Fiend Sect Elder fell into a state of madness.
