What was wrong wasn’t Shen Yuexuan’s words or his suggestion to use the artifact formation to replace the Dao Soldier Formation, but the two pieces of Imperial Extinction Records in front of his body.
Zong Shou was still studying the item and hadn’t put it away yet.
At this moment, they gave off a really dim, dark-red, spiritual glow. If one didn’t pay close attention, one wouldn’t have been able to notice it.
“This thing is absorbing the killing energy here?”
He focused and sensed, and as expected, threads of energy were being directed over by the book.
Due to the fighting in the area, thick and intense killing energy was being produced.
Zong Shou was stunned. This Imperial Extinction True Scripture actually had such an ability.
However, in the past, he had never used the Imperial God Slaying Diagram in battle. Not noticing such abilities was normal.
Zong Shou spread out the two books and then he noticed that within the scripture, the Xiantian Geng Metal Energy that was turning to Celestial Slaying Flying Knife had a small portion which had switched. It was pure white and flowing about in the diagram.
Some changes occurred in the other diagram too.
There were more spiritual patterns on the diagram. Although they intersected with the original patterns, there wasn’t much connection and it existed independently. In Zong Shou’s eyes, they were just excess.
Before this, he also didn’t care about the Imperial Celestial Slaying True Scripture.
If it could absorb more killing energy to form flying knives, then he would have one more life-saving trump card.
In just a moment, Zong Shou’s pupils constricted. In the corner of his eye, he noticed some patterns which still continued to form. Along with the records absorbing more and more killing energy, the spiritual patterns became more and more complicated.
If he looked closely and separated the newly formed patterns, Zong Shou’s heart jumped once more!
It was a huge formation; there were a total of 72 pillars and its cultivation method was included within too.
If it was just that, Zong Shou wouldn’t have been so shocked. What he cared about was that the formation and the Dao Soldier cultivation method were the outline of the one he designed for the Saint Fire Silver Ants.
It was the one that he felt was the most reliable and suitable!
At this moment, the Imperial Demon Slaying Records was perfecting and improving it, adding flesh and blood to the bone structure.
Zong Shou tossed everything aside and looked at it with full focus.
However, in just a few minutes, the patterns which were already 70% complete suddenly collapsed. They fell apart piece by piece and disappeared from the records.
“As expected, it doesn’t work; there are still many weaknesses…”
Zong Shou sighed and knew that the Imperial Demon Slaying Records couldn’t continue projecting it out.
There were mistakes in its foundations, and no matter how it continued, there wouldn’t be an outcome.
How would it be so simple to design a whole new Dao Soldier formation from nothing?
“Just now, the projection and design of the formation should be from my intuition. Speaking of which, the Imperial Demon Slaying Records use killing energy to design formations? The Celestial Slaying Blade Energy will be formed more quickly?”
Joy flashed in Zong Shou’s eyes. He didn’t hesitate and he took out a talisman paper which was of good quality.
With a thought, numerous patterns appeared on the paper and he passed it to Shen Yuexuan.
The spiritual patterns formed just now were actually usable. It was just that they weren’t as strong as he intended.
It was really simple; completing it using artifact formations wouldn’t cause any other problems.
Shen Yuexuan picked up the talisman and took a look. He nodded, “Half a day is enough! If I can borrow Your Majesty’s book, it will be even quicker; an hour, and it will be completed…”
“So quick?” Zong Shou found it a bit weird. Even the top flames in the world would take a long time to craft a Magical Treasure.
In terms of flames, the White Hole he saw in that vast and edgeless world should have been the top kind.
However, it took weeks to craft a God Realm level Dragon Tooth Sword.
Strictly speaking, the Imperial Dao Dragon Tooth Sword couldn’t be considered a complete Celestial Weapon.
“Naturally, one Magical Treasure would waste a lot of time, however, splitting it up and treating it as a Spiritual Artifact to craft would make things much easier.”
Shen Yuexuan shook his head, “How hard can 72 Spiritual Artifacts be?”
He directly took out the furnace and it had its own fire source inside. Shen Yuexuan took out several materials and started to craft.
The wooden puppets had simple intelligence and he didn’t need to control them; he only needed to repair them and it would be okay.
Out of the six of them, apart from Lin Xuanxuan, he had it the easiest.
Zong Shou didn’t ask. He activated the Book of Eon to help speed up time.
Anyway, it was something sudden, so he would just take a look at the effect when it occurred. If it wasn’t suitable, then he wouldn’t use it.
He smiled and looked towards Lin Xuanxuan, “Senior Master, do you have any more Xiantian Geng Energy? Can you lend me some?”
Lin Xuanxuan looked expressionlessly at the Imperial Extinction True Scripture in his hands and she frowned slightly.
She had noticed that thing before. Zong Shou had shot several precious Xiantian Geng Metal Energy into the treasure.
Its quality was great. Who knew what it was that Zong Shou placed such high hopes in?
She didn’t hesitate. She just tossed out two balls of light.
Since he was the ruler of a country, heir of the Sky Burning Lu Family, future Buddhist Faction Future Buddha, his future was limitless, and he would definitely be able to afford such a thing.
“I found this for your Junior Sister to help craft a five-element feather fan after I gather up five elements. Since you need it, I will give it to you first. However, you have to pay her back with Heaven Grade Geng Metal Energy.”
Heaven Grade?
Zong Shou’s face turned bitter. The two pieces of energy in his hands were only at Earth Grade!
This compensation was worse than even loan sharks.
However, he didn’t reject it; he scattered the two balls and allowed the diagram to absorb it.
True Qi was injected in. This time it instinctively started to absorb killing energy.
The so-called killing energy was the appearance of killing intent. Cultivators were often able to use spells to view it, to deduce bad or good luck. The number of enemies and allies, strength or weakness of their killing intent could all be seen.
Millions of vengeful corpses gathered here and the killing energy was extremely thick.
However, Zong Shou noticed that there was a restriction to the amount of killing energy they could absorb.
It didn’t increase by much because he injected True Qi in.
“This killing energy-absorbing ability should be the ability of the beast leather. What kind of God Beast was it? It was so strong?”
Zong Shou’s face was filled with shock. The beast leather had the ability to absorb killing energy and vengeful power, turning into armor and protecting itself. This type of ability would be able to cause problems all around the world!
End Realm? It might not have been. It might have even been True Realm…
Did it die naturally or had it been hunted? Who could even kill a God Beast that entered True Realm?
Due to the large amount of killing energy it absorbed, it was shaking and didn’t rest. It seemed like it had sensed something.
“Is there another one in the tomb? The sensing is really weak, so it should be hidden deep and a spiritual formation is blocking it. It must be within someone else’s hidden space! However, how is it such a coincidence? No, it shouldn’t be…”
Zong Shou’s thoughts stopped. Outside of the sky altar, the flood-like iron hoof sounds rang out once more.
100,000 cavalry adjusted their formation and then they started to charge towards the altar.
This time they came with an explosive and fierce aura. The ones at the front held blades and their strengths were comparable to Saint Realm generals.
Like an extremely sharp arrow piercing in, where the blade light flashed, everything was cleared out. All the flags were sliced.
The ice-cold aura of the mounts extinguished the gold flames. They targeted the area beneath the altar.
“Yuzi Tongpao!”
Along with the hoarse and tough-to-listen-to voice which spat out from the mouth of the corpse general.
The 100,000 cavalry all roared out furiously.
“Qiyue Wuyi!”
The aura instantly peaked. A giant demon-like shadow appeared behind the 100,000 cavalry.
He looked really majestic and he had a huge body. He was dressed in a black emperor robe and wore a crown. Nine giant dragons flowed beneath his feet.
“This is problematic!”
At that moment, even Shen Yuexuan, who was crafting the artifact, stopped and looked down with a frown.
100,000 iron cavalry charging… How could his 100 Celestial Grade Shield Puppets block them? They aren’t Dao Soldiers…
Even if the six of them worked together they would only be able to block for a moment.
However, in the next instant, Lin Xuanxuan moved. She took out a blue lamp that had seven blue spiritual flames burning within.
Lin Xuanxuan pointed at one and then casually tossed it out and it fell beneath the altar.
In just a breath, a huge chill energy spread out in all directions.
A three-inch tall ice spike formed. Thousands of iron cavalry in the front were being frozen.
The chill energy spread out and covered the Big Dipper Sword Soldiers such that they couldn’t move at all.
Shen Yuexuan immediately understood. With such a god item, no wonder Lin Xuanxuan didn’t fear anything.
However, cracking sounds spread out from afar. The three corpse generals forcefully broke out from the ice. Then, more corpse cavalry charged out of the ice.
Zong Shou’s brow rose up, and without hesitation, he took out a Muluo Flying Knife.
He had imprinted the Celestial Slaying Diagram within, and at this moment, he tried to inject the killing intent in the diagram in.
With a thought, the silver knife slipped out from his sleeves.
