A blood-colored light veil illuminated the sky.
As the array was activated, the entire city was filled with a terrifying aura!
Blood energy spread out from the blood veil and covered the entirety of East Sea City, turning it into a blood-colored world.
This blood qi was extremely evil. One could feel that it contained a cruel, tyrannical, and violent energy.
This was the Blood Sacrifice Formation that the Evil Spirit Sect had been plotting for a long time. It could make people lose their rationality and only know how to fight and kill!
Soon, the eyes of the weaker cultivators turned red.
Their breathing became heavy, and they began to attack the people around them.
The city immediately fell into chaos. There were fights everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers!
But that’s not all!
Hall Master Mars waved his hand and changed the formation again, causing a scarlet rain of blood to rain down in this area.
The blood rain was corrosive and could easily turn Nascent Soul cultivators into bones.
This place seemed to have transformed into purgatory in an instant, and countless cultivators let out shrill cries!
“How is this possible? What kind of formation is this!?”
“Arh!”
“My hand!”
“My leg!”
“Uh… Aaah!”
A Nascent Soul cultivator would melt into a pile of bones within a few breaths of time after being stained by the blood!
Even a Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t be able to last much longer as their protective powers rapidly dissipated.
This scene frightened everyone.
“All of you, let’s join forces and set up a formation!” Xu An roared and ordered everyone to join hands.
If this continued, the entire East Sea City would become a sea of corpses!
Powerful cultivators from all races took action, circulating their powers to construct a defensive barrier.
A bright light screen rose and enveloped all the cultivators present, temporarily isolating them from the blood rain.
However, the evil aura could still seep in, causing the hearts of countless cultivators to waver and killing intent to rise.
Hall Master Mars’ expression was filled with disdain as he laughed sinisterly. “Give up on your useless resistance!”
“This formation can even refine True Sages. Do you think you can resist it?”
The one with the highest cultivation was City Lord Xu An.
Even though there were other Sages present, their cultivation wasn’t high, and there weren’t many of them either!
They had come here to participate in the trading convention. No one could have imagined that the Evil Spirit Sect would ambush them here!
The Middle Ground cultivators were trapped in the Blood Sacrifice Formation and had no way of resisting!
…
A rain of blood poured down, covering heaven and earth.
The raindrops fell on the light curtain, with each drop of blood causing ripples on the barrier, as if the barrier would shatter at any moment!
The Sages’ expressions changed as they hurriedly strengthened the formation.
“I have to think of a way to break the formation!” Xu An exclaimed. The Blood Sacrifice Formation was too terrifying. Even a Sage wouldn’t be able to last long in it.
The cultivators were terrified.
Once the formation broke, this place would soon become a living hell.
Hall Master Mars’ gaze became crueler and crueler. “Before long, all of you will become nourishment for my weapon!”
The power of the formation increased yet again with a wave of his hand.
Countless streams of blood gathered to form a river. Those were all blood essence that came from the sacrifices of many living beings. They were controlled by Hall Master Mars and merged into the Mars Hall’s depths.
In an instant, blood radiance shone resplendently, rising brilliantly and illuminating heaven and earth.
An evil aura burst forth, making countless people’s hair stand on end. Evil weapons were transforming there, absorbing the blood essence as its nutrients.
Xu An’s face was deathly pale. “If we still don’t break the formation, then we’ll really die here!”
Whether it was the Blood Sacrifice Formation or the evil weapons, they were unable to resist it. If they were to delay any longer, only death awaited them!
“Attack together and break the formation!”
Xu An roared as he and the other Sages resisted the pressure and attacked together, wanting to break the array.
Rumble!
Beams of energy shot into the sky, but they were completely useless.
All of the attacks were completely swallowed up by the Blood Sacrifice Formation, and the formation was not affected at all!
“We’re doomed!”
Countless people wailed, thinking that their hope of survival was slim.
…
At this time, Qi Zhan finally moved.
He stood in the void, golden radiance erupting from his entire body. His golden armor shone brilliantly, his aura powerful!
The rain of blood fell on his body and was evaporated by the golden light.
Qi Zhan suddenly soared into the sky and swung the golden cudgel in his hand toward the horizon!
“Eat this!”
He released a long roar as if he was an unmatched God of War.
The cudgel shattered the void as if it was splitting heaven and earth, engulfing mountains and rivers.
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled as the void was annihilated.
Qi Zhan’s attacks were incomparably violent, and his power was overwhelming. The void shattered into ruins as divine might surged.
However, when it landed on the blood veil, it caused boundless ripples, yet it didn’t shatter.
“Damn, this thing is so hard?”
Qi Zhan’s eyes widened. He had used his full strength, but he still wasn’t able to shatter the Blood Sacrifice Formation?
Hall Master Mars sneered. “I have been preparing for today’s memorial service for too many years.
“I might as well tell you that this formation was set up by an elder of the Evil Spirit Sect. It’s impossible to break it without the power of a Great Sage!
“You can only enter but not leave!
“After you die, all the cultivators who enter East Sea City will die with you!”
Qi Zhan scratched his head in frustration. “This is troublesome!”
He had wanted to suppress Mars Hall, but he didn’t expect that he would cause such huge trouble this time.
However, even if Qi Zhan did not make a move, Hall Master Mars would also not give up this opportunity.
If the Blood Sacrifice Formation was completed in a few days, there would be no way to reverse the situation!
Qi Zhan crazily scratched his head, wanting to find a solution!
…
Seeing that Qi Zhan was unable to open the formation, despair appeared on everyone’s faces!
Countless people cried out in sorrow, thinking that they would die here.
Hall Master Mars roared with laughter, “You’re all dead! Followers of the Evil Spirit Sect, kill!”
The heretic cult believers cultivated evil arts, to begin with. The Blood Sacrifice Formation did not affect them. Instead, it strengthened their ferocity and made them extremely violent!
Hundreds of Nascent Soul and Soul Formation evil cult believers rushed into the crowd and started killing.
The Sages did their best to protect the area they were in.
However, they were also held back by a few Evil Spirit Sect Sages and were unable to provide support.
East Sea City was huge and had many people. Everyone in it was all affected by the Blood Sacrifice Formation.
The cultivators of the various races were massacred without any resistance.
In an instant, corpses were strewn everywhere. Broken limbs were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river!
Hall Master Mars immediately attacked, circulating his evil aura and attacking the formation that the Sages had jointly constructed.
As long as their defensive array was broken, East Sea City’s cultivators would fall even faster!
As a Five Tribulation True Sage, Hall Master Mars possessed terrifying strength.
His attack made things worse for the Sages, who were already struggling to hold on!
The few Sages vomited large mouthfuls of blood as their auras weakened.
Suddenly, a huge cudgel swept across. It smashed down on the head of Hall Master Mars with the power that could split mountains!
Bang!
Hall Master Mars was sent flying with shock in his eyes.
The monkey’s strength was too terrifying, making it difficult for him to withstand it.
Qi Zhan’s eyes were as bright as the sun, and his aura was imposing. He snorted and said, “Evil spirit brat, hurry up and open the formation. Otherwise, I’ll smash your head!”
This formation gathered and used the power of heaven and earth. Even Qi Zhan was not able to break it. He could only capture the leader before capturing the bandits. He would subdue Hall Master Mars before thinking of a way to break open the formation.
Hall Master Mars was furious, and his evil aura was surging. “Little brat, how dare you be so arrogant!” he snarled.
He was a Five Tribulation True Sage. How could he tolerate being looked down upon by a Mighty Prowess monkey?
Hall Master Mars was the first to attack. The evil aura behind him surged into the sky, transforming into a ghostly claw that tore through the void.
When the ghost claw appeared, the sun and moon seemed to lose color, and its aura made one tremble!
This strike was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Sage!
…
Qi Zhan was not afraid at all. He snorted coldly and stomped his feet, charging forward.
His aura surged explosively, seeming to stretch across the entirety of the sky.
The enormous cudgel swept out and shattered space into powder.
Boom!
The divine light clashed with the giant ghost claw and smashed it into pieces. The evil aura dissipated immediately after.
Qi Zhan’s might did not stop there. He swung his cudgel again and smashed it onto Hall Master Mars.
Hall Master Mars was shocked and hurriedly defended.
Endless blood energy gushed out, turning into a sea of blood that wanted to devour Qi Zhan.
He was controlling the Blood Sacrifice Formation to attack!
Bloody light covered the sky, and its aura was extremely evil as if it wanted to cause heaven and the earth to collapse.
Qi Zhan was fearless. Golden light blossomed from his body, causing him to look dazzling and resplendent!
The divine might of the golden battle armor burst forth with boundless might!
This was a top-grade Sage artifact. Its defensive power was extremely great!
Even though the sea of blood was filled with destructive power, it was still unable to break through Qi Zhan’s defense!
Then, Qi Zhan suddenly made his move. He swept his cudgel outwards with the power that could overturn the four seas!
Gales of wind erupted, stirring the sea of blood with violent power!
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded!
The sea of blood that filled the sky had dissipated.
The resplendent golden light illuminated the world, suppressing the bloody light.
After breaking through the sea of blood, Qi Zhan’s cudgel smashed onto the body of Hall Master Mars, and his evil aura too dissipated.
Hall Master Mars was sent flying thousands of kilometers away by this cudgel.
…
Puchi!
Hall Master Mars spat out a mouthful of blood as his body trembled, his eyes revealing shock.
He did not expect the monkey to be so powerful that even he was suppressed!
Hall Master Mars’ eyes were extremely red, and his aura was ferocious.
The corner of his mouth was bleeding, but he didn’t care at all. He roared, “Damn it, you forced me!”
“Demonic Blood Sword, attack!”
Boom!
The Mars Hall trembled violently, and a streak of blood-colored light shot out, crossing the void.
This aura was extremely evil as if it wanted to turn the world into a blood sea purgatory.
It was a dark red longsword. Its entire body was covered in dazzling blood light as if blood was flowing through it!
This was a peerless evil weapon that had already reached the level of a top-grade Sage artifact. It was only a step away from transforming into a Great Sage weapon!
It must be understood that only Great Sages could create Great Sage weapons.
The Evil Spirit Sect used the blood sacrifice method to transform a Sage weapon into a Great Saint Weapon. This method could be said to be extremely bizarre.
However, the price he had to pay was also extremely great. He had to use the blood essence of countless cultivators to nurture it.
This was also the reason why Hall Master Mars had set up the Blood Sacrifice Formation in East Sea City.
By making use of this trading convention to gather all the cultivators here, the Demonic Blood Sword would definitely transform.
However, Qi Zhan had appeared out of the blue and forced the leader to a dead end.
Hall Master Mars had no choice but to summon the Demonic Blood Sword in advance to increase his combat strength in an attempt to kill Qi Zhan.
Otherwise, everything would be destroyed by Qi Zhan!
The aura of Hall Master Mars was incomparably brutal with the Demonic Blood Sword in hand. It was as if an Evil Spirit had descended into the world, with the intention of killing all living things!
The cultivators of East Sea City trembled when they sensed this aura.
“This is bad!”
The Demonic Blood Sword’s aura was too terrifying. It made even Sages palpitate, and their bodies tremble uncontrollably.
Cultivators with weaker cultivations were even affected by the baleful aura of the Demonic Blood Sword and completely lost their minds.
This was a supreme evil weapon that possessed a soul-stirring power!
Hall Master Mars was a Five Tribulation True Sage. With the power of the Demonic Blood Sword, his combat power was unparalleled.
He alone was enough to massacre the entire East Sea City!
Everyone felt despair!
“Damned brat, he actually made me summon my supreme evil weapon earlier than planned!
“It doesn’t matter. As long as I kill you, my supreme evil weapon will transform as well!
“Die!”
Hall Master Mars roared and waved his blood sword forward, wanting to cut down Qi Zhan!
What he didn’t know was that Qi Zhan’s weapon was a Grand Sage weapon.
The cudgel shone brightly as it descended with a tremendous force!
Qi Zhan stood proudly in the air as his golden fur stood on end, and his aura became extremely powerful!
At that moment, Qi Zhan was like a golden God of War, going against this evil cultivator!
Boom!
The cudgel’s momentum was unstoppable, shattering the void as if it wanted to overturn heaven and earth!
“Supreme cudgel Sweep!” Qi Zhan shouted and waved his cudgel, smashing it down on the Demonic Blood Sword!
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere as the two sides clashed!
The Demonic Blood Sword trembled violently as if it was being suppressed by a primeval divine mountain, causing the body of Hall Master Mars to tremble violently.
Boom!
Hall Master Mars was blasted flying, and even the Demonic Blood Sword dimmed from the impact as if it was about to lose its spirit!
The difference between a top-grade Sage artifact and a Great Sage artifact was far too great; it was incomparable.
Hall Master Mars spat out a mouthful of blood as fear surfaced in his eyes.
The full power of Qi Zhan was too powerful. He was a top-notch existence even among the Five Tribulation True Sages. Even the leader of Mars Palace could not fight against him.
Everyone exclaimed upon seeing this scene!
“This is great! With prime Qi Zhan here, we will definitely be able to survive this ordeal!”
“Prime Disciple Qi Zhan is mighty! Kill these evil spirit bastards!”
“Prime Disciple Qi Zhan, do your best to kill him!”
…
Xu An’s face was filled with excitement. He had initially felt despair at the situation he was in.
However, Qi Zhan had managed to forcefully suppress Hall Master Mars, a Five Tribulation True Sage. It was like the light of dawn in the night, which gave rise to hope in their hearts!
Everyone cheered in joy, waiting for Qi Zhan to completely suppress Hall Master Mars.
A brilliant smile appeared on Qi Zhan’s face as he looked at Hall Master Mars. “Is this all your strength?
“I haven’t even warmed up yet!
“Evil spirit brat, hurry up and undo the formation!”
With that said, Qi Zhan charged forward once again and attacked Hall Master Mars.
Upon sensing the threat of death, the expression of the leader of Mars Hall changed.
He shouted, “Great Sage, save me!”
…
Right at that time, a boundless divine might was transmitted from the Mars Hall’s depths.
An aura gushed out, shaking heaven and earth!
A beam of light shot out of the hall. It was extremely dazzling, like a falling meteor streaking across the sky!
Boom!
The flames instantly struck Qi Zhan’s cudgel and sent him flying.
He was pushed back for several hundred miles before coming to a stop.
His hands were trembling, the web between his thumb and index finger cracked, and his eyes filled with fear.
“Who’s the one playing tricks there?”
“How dare you ambush your grandfather?”
Boom!
Evil might exploded!
A figure suddenly appeared.
He strode through the air, and the space around him shattered.
He was an old man. He wore a fiery red robe and was surrounded by dark red flames.
The evil flames around him were endless and incinerated the void into nothingness. His aura was extremely terrifying.
A vast aura swept out in all directions, and it caused everyone to feel as if they were struck on the chest by a primeval divine mountain, causing them to be utterly unable to breathe!
This person’s strength was too terrifying!
Even the Sages could not help but feel weak all over and nearly collapsed to the ground.
As for those with lower cultivation states, they fainted from the aura.
Xu An’s face was ashen as he muttered, “The Evil Spirit Sect actually has such an expert here?
“We’re doomed! He’s a Great Sage!
“No matter how strong Prime Disciple Qi Zhan is, it’s impossible for him to match a Great Sage!”
The moment this person appeared, all of the hopes that everyone had were shattered!
…
Hall Master Mars was overjoyed. “Great Sage Evil Fire, quickly kill this bastard. He is the prime disciple of the Demon Compound in Jixia Academy! If we kill him, even the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty will feel the pain!”
Hall Master Mars’ gaze was incomparably cruel. Being defeated by Qi Zhan made him feel extremely humiliated!
If not for Great Sage Evil Fire, he might have bled to death on the spot.
Hall Master Mars had a deep hatred for Qi Zhan and wished he could kill him on the spot.
However, Great Sage Evil Fire snorted coldly and said, “Trash, you can’t even do such a thing properly! You actually need me to take action?”
Great Sage Evil Fire controlled the blood sacrifice in East Sea City. He did not expect that Hall Master Mars would mess things up and be defeated by a junior. He had utterly disgraced the Evil Spirit Sect.
Upon hearing Great Sage Evil Fire reprimand him, Hall Master Mars shrunk his neck as fear appeared in his eyes.
He was only one of the 36 Hall Masters of the Evil Spirit Sect, but Great Sage Evil Fire was an Elder of the sect.
Be it in terms of strength or status, Hall Master Mars was far inferior to Great Sage Evil Fire.
Even though Great Sage Evil Fire was reprimanding him, he did not dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
He could only transfer all his hatred to Qi Zhan. If it weren’t for him, why would the Evil Spirit Sect’s years of preparation be disrupted?
Qi Zhan gripped his war cudgel tightly. “Evil Spirit Sect’s Great Sage Evil Fire?”
This person was quite famous!
The Evil Spirit Sect’s seven Elders were all Great Sage-level powerhouses.
As a Seven Tribulation Great Sage, Great Sage Evil Fire was incomparably powerful!
Qi Zhan’s expression became serious, as if he was facing a great enemy.
He never expected that this old fellow was hiding in East Sea City!
Such an existence wasn’t something he could go against, and he was very difficult to deal with!
Great Sage Evil Fire looked at Qi Zhan and said coldly, “It’s actually a little monkey! It’s said that the monkey brain of the Golden-Eyed Fire Ape race is a great supplement! I will have a taste of it today!”
Great Sage Evil Fire licked his lips with a ferocious expression.
That evil face scared the hell out of those present.
Qi Zhan’s fury soared to the heavens. He held his cudgel tightly in his hand and suddenly swung it at Great Sage Evil Fire.
Even though he knew that he was no match for the other party, he still couldn’t help but curse loudly.
“F*ck you! I’ll smash your head!”
Qi Zhan waved the cudgel in his hand and displayed the Ruyi Cudgel Technique, producing a 10,000-foot long phantom that could shatter the world!
In an instant, the sky was covered by the shadows of countless cudgels, their might shaking the heavens and earth.
Shock flashed across Hall Master Mars’ eyes. He could feel how terrifying this attack was. It could seriously injure him!
Great Sage Evil Fire’s face was filled with ridicule and disdain as he snorted coldly. “You’re courting death!”
He soared into the sky, and evil flames erupted from his body as an extremely powerful suit of armor covered his entire body.
It was the Great Saint Artifact—Evil Origin Flame Armor.
The evil flames surged out and transformed into a flaming curtain that stood before him!
Boom!
The sound reverberated!
Qi Zhan’s cudgel struck the Evil Fire Armor, but it was unable to break through!
“Take another hit from me!”
Qi Zhan attacked once more, his cudgel smashing down.
The Evil Fire Armor exploded into flames from the collision, and it shook without end.
However, Great Sage Evil Fire still stood there without moving an inch!
“What?”
Qi Zhan’s eyes widened. Even his full-strength attack was unable to break through the Evil Fire Sage’s defense?
“Kid, are you done? It’s my turn to attack now!”
Great Sage Evil Fire grinned maliciously as 12 beams of cold light shot out.
His aura was extremely terrifying. The beams of light’s power were not inferior to that of a Great Sage Weapon, blasting toward Qi Zhan!
“There’s still another Great Sage Weapon?”
“You old man, where’s your martial values! How dare you ambush your grandfather!”
Qi Zhan was shocked. Light burst out from his body as he activated his golden armor to block the attack!
However, the golden armor was completely destroyed!
Qi Zhan was also sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Puchi!
Qi Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood as he suffered heavy injuries.
Although his combat power was powerful, the disparity between him and a Seven Tribulation Great Sage was still too great.
Not to mention the fact that Great Sage Evil Fire was using a Great Sage weapon. His power was even more terrifying.
That was Great Sage Evil Fire’s personal Great Sage weapon, the Crimson Fire Holy Needles. There were a total of 36 of them, and each of them was no weaker than a Sage artifact.
When combined, their powers were even more terrifying!
If not for the golden armor, this strike would have directly pierced through him, seriously injuring him!
Seeing Qi Zhan defeated, East Sea City’s cultivators couldn’t help but tremble.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with horror.
“Even Qi Zhan lost?”
“Almost insta-killed?”
“Then aren’t we doomed?”
“Heavens, is there anyone who can save us!”
After Qi Zhan was defeated, causing their last hope to be cut off, everyone started to cry out in sorrow.
…
Great Sage Evil Fire slowly walked forward, his eyes cold and sinister. “It is your honor to die under my Crimson Fire Holy Needle!”
“Die!”
He attacked again, and 24 Crimson Fire Holy Needles attacked with a loud bang, causing the ground to shatter, and an area of a few thousand kilometers was instantly obliterated into powder.
This strike completely made Qi Zhan powerless.
Qi Zhan’s complexion changed. A trace of struggle appeared in his eyes.
He took out a talisman that was covered in mysterious veined patterns and contained powerful void energy.
This was a Teleportation Talisman Huang Shi had bestowed him. It allowed him to instantly teleport hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
It could be said that this was definitely a life-saving treasure.
When facing a Seven Tribulation True Sage who had absolutely no chance of winning, Qi Zhan could only rely on this talisman to escape.
However, Qi Zhan hesitated for a moment because he remembered that there were still the cultivators of East Sea City.
In a short instant, the 24 Crimson Fire Holy Needles had already shot toward Qi Zhan.
Seeing the streams of light, Qi Zhan instinctively activated this talisman.
At that moment, a massive hammer pierced through the void and smashed the Crimson Fire Holy Burning Needles.
The aura of the hammer emanated the power of the mountains and rivers, and it seemed invincible as it directly blasted these needles away.
A white-clothed youth appeared from the void, standing in front of Qi Zhan.
Shen Tian put away the Sky-Shaking Hammer and heaved a sigh of relief.
Hoofy horse, I finally caught up! I was almost late!
The so-called late arrival wasn’t Qi Zhan being killed by Great Sage Evil Fire.
From what he had seen previously, Qi Zhan would have had to forcefully break through the void to escape.
If he came a step later, he would not be able to catch up to Qi Zhan.
But now was the right time, hehe~
With everyone present, it was time to start the team!
…
Qi Zhan was dumbfounded when he saw Shen Tian. “Boss, why are you here?”
Qi Zhan never imagined that Shen Tian would actually appear here.
He had even saved his life.
Qi Zhan was extremely moved.
But soon after, his expression changed slightly. “Boss, there’s a great formation here. You can only enter but not leave!
“Also, that old fellow is a Seven Tribulation Great Sage. We aren’t able to defeat him!
“Boss, thank you for saving me despite the danger, but you should leave first!”
With that said, Qi Zhan placed the Teleportation Talisman on Shen Tian’s back.
The Teleportation Talisman could only teleport one person each time. Qi Zhan could only let Shen Tian leave first.
The Teleportation Talisman then shone with resplendent light.
Shen Tian was instantly teleported out.
After Shen Tian left, Qi Zhan let out a sigh of relief.
“Even if I die, I won’t let my Boss fall into danger! That’s good too. I didn’t want to run away in the first place. Now, I’ll fight it out with these evil creatures!”
The Golden-Eyed Fire Apes were warlike, to begin with. Qi Zhan, who had awakened the War Saint Ape bloodline, was even much so.
It was a bit uncomfortable for him to abandon the East Sea City cultivators.
Fine, today I will fight to the death with these bastards. At least, I will not tarnish the reputation of my ancestor, the War Emperor!
…
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from East Sea City…
Shen Tian’s figure quietly appeared above the sea. He was completely dumbfounded.
???
I have painstakingly traveled hundreds of millions of miles to East Sea City to provide support!
Yet you monkey sent me away from the city!
Why are you treating me as if I am the monkey!
What a dumb teammate!
