Everyone from the Heavenly Cloud Palace immediately began to play the instruments in their hands. However, those instruments were magic treasures, and the sound they emitted contained magic power and divine powers.
The music seemed to transform into corporeal sound waves that bombarded the Dusk Drum.
However, the attack was also reflected, and its power instantly doubled.
“Not good!” The expressions of everyone from the Heavenly Cloud Palace changed, and they immediately used their divine powers to block the incoming attack.
Boom boom boom boom boom…
The sound wave exploded, and magic power transformed into a shockwave that swept in all directions.
After the magic power dissipated, the faces of everyone from the Heavenly Cloud Palace turned pale.
Seeing that the people from the Heavenly Cloud Palace had also failed, the expressions of Granny Lu Lan, the Ye Family, the Gongshu Family, the Dragon King Hall, the Heaven Ascension Sect, and the Heavenly Moon Dynasty darkened.
They knew that the people from the Heavenly Cloud Palace were good at the Dao of Rhythm and used musical instruments. The divine powers they cultivated were all related to musical instruments.
The Dusk Drum was also a type of musical instrument. Logically speaking, they should be able to sound it, but they did not expect it to fail.
“What do I have to do to sound this Dusk Drum?” Ao Bing from the Dragon King Hall frowned curiously.
“Perhaps we need someone fated?” someone from the Heaven Ascension Sect suggested.
‘Looks like I can only try to refine it by force!’ Granny Lu Lan thought. Although she did not know if she could successfully refine it, this was the only way now.
With this in mind, she immediately formed hand seals, and the prayer beads in her hand instantly dispersed, transforming into giant beads that floated around the Dusk Drum.
Those beads emitted different lights that condensed into mysterious runes. Rays of light interwoven into a strange array formation totem that enveloped the Dusk Drum.
Granny Lu Lan immediately flew to one of the prayer beads and sat cross-legged. She formed hand seals and injected powerful magic power into the bead.
As for the red-robed figures accompanying Granny Lu Lan, they stood guard around her.
Rumble!
The world shook as the power of the array formation totem competed with the Dusk Drum. It was like the fusion of ice and fire, emitting intense sounds.
However, it was not the sound of a drum, but the sound of two powerful forces colliding.
“Hmph, you want to refine it by force? Dream on!” The Heaven Ascension Sect’s Saint Tian He frowned and snorted.
That was a Supreme Artifact that even the Sovereign Realm expert could not refine.
However, right at this moment, the array formation totem that enveloped the Dusk Drum suddenly shot out rays of light that instantly attacked the surrounding people.
“Oh no!” Everyone exclaimed and tried to escape.
However, he could not dodge in time and was instantly entangled by the light shot out by the array formation totem.
At the same time, the array formation totem expanded and enveloped everyone in the surroundings, crazily devouring the magic power and vitality in their bodies.
“Granny Lu Lan, you old witch, what are you doing!”
Saint Tian He’s expression changed drastically. He struggled with all his might, but he could not break free from the terrifying array formation at all. His body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, and the magic power and vitality in his body were sucked out uncontrollably.
“Damn it!” Ao Bing gritted her teeth and desperately resisted the power of the array formation.
She did not expect Granny Lu Lan to be so arrogant as to attack them.
Although the Blood Soul World was powerful, their Primordial Imperial Family, the various ancient families, and the eternal orthodoxies were not to be trifled with.
“Granny Lu Lan, you’re declaring war on our Dragon King Hall by doing this!” Ao Bing shouted angrily.
“That’s right. Are you declaring war on our various sects?!” Gongshu Ling roared.
Although anger surged in his heart, he was helpless.
The divine arts and spells of the Blood Soul World had always been strange and unpredictable. Once hit, it was difficult to escape.
“Hmph, don’t waste your energy. You won’t be able to break free from this sacrificial array formation. Be my sacrifice obediently and help me refine this Dusk Drum!”
Granny Lu Lan smiled eccentrically.
She was well aware that it was impossible to forcefully refine the Dusk Drum with her own strength. She could only use everyone present as sacrifices to help her refine it.
She did not care if she would anger the various factions. Their Blood Soul World was already enemies with the various immortal realms.
Furthermore, it was nothing compared to the value of the Dusk Drum.
If she refined them all into blood plasma, who would know that she had killed them?
“Elder, what should we do?” Everyone from the Heaven Ascension Sect was terrified. Their magic power and vitality were rapidly depleting. If this continued, they would all die.
However, Saint Tian He remained silent with an ugly expression. He struggled with all his might. He did not want to die, nor did he want to die in the hands of this Granny Lu Lan.
However, this array formation was really strange.
Rumble!
The power of the array formation constantly collided with the power of the Dusk Drum, suppressing it.
Granny Lu Lan gritted her teeth with a ferocious expression. She used all her magic power to control the array formation, allowing the power of the array formation to protect her Essence Soul. Like a dumpling, she probed into the Dusk Drum bit by bit.
She attempted to refine and control the Dusk Drum’s artifact spirit.
Suddenly, the Dusk Drum shook and let out a thud.
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Cang, Gongshu Ling, Ao Bing, Holy Son Yun Que, Saint Tian He, and the others were shocked.
Did that woman really succeed?
However, Granny Lu Lan’s body trembled as if she had begun to tremble.
Thud!
Another drumbeat sounded, clearer than before. Everyone could even feel their bodies tremble.
As for Granny Lu Lan, her body trembled even more violently. Then, she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The drumbeats sounded continuously, as if someone was pulling it, or as if a person’s heartbeat was rhythmic and regular.
The sound wave contained terrifying power that constantly attacked the grand array formation.
The entire array formation totem flickered violently, and Granny Lu Lan vomited blood one mouthful after another. She spat it out rhythmically with the drumbeat.
In the end, there was a bang.
The entire array formation collapsed. Granny Lu Lan was sent flying by the terrifying impact wave and finally smashed into the ground.
“What’s going on?” Granny Lu Lan was shocked. Her Essence Soul was about to enter the Dusk Drum.
In the end, the Dusk Drum suddenly sounded as if it was controlled by some sort of power. It even erupted with shocking power and backlash, almost causing her to die on the spot.
As the array formation dissipated, the restrained Ye Cang, Gongshu Ling, Ao Bing, Holy Son Yun Que, Saint Tian He, and the others instantly regained their freedom. Their magic power and vitality stopped flowing.
However, they had just had a large amount of magic power and vitality devoured. They were also very weak at the moment. The aura in their bodies was unstable, and their faces were incomparably pale.
Everyone had no time to rejoice in their narrow escape, nor did they have the time to figure out why the Dusk Drum sounded automatically.
Their gazes were attracted by two extraordinary, dazzling figures that descended from the sky like a golden couple.
“Who are these two?”
“This man is so handsome!”
“Is this a god?”
“It’s him! Great Immortal Mi Lu!”
“It’s Fairy Luo He!”
“C-Cultivator Li!”
Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw Li Yu and Fairy Luo He appear, and their eyes sparkled with various expressions…
…
