Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Refining Blood with Thousands of Beasts_1

The woman’s sudden thrust of her sword was actually burning with a strange moon fire, a pale cyan flame—although it was not as powerful as the Twelve Sacred Flames, yet when displayed by a high-level expert like her, its power was still terrifying.

”Merely a child’s play!”

The third head of the Evil Beast Demon King opened its mouth, and from within came dozens of round stones.

”Earth Spirit-Origin Stones!”

Yuan Venerate couldn’t help but exclaim, ”This Evil Beast Demon King is really cunning! Earth Spirit-Origin Stones can absorb any energy and convert it into pure spiritual energy, which is more formidable than any Spirit Stone. That woman is in danger!”

In an instant, the Earth Spirit-Origin Stones had completely absorbed the moon fire.

The world echoed with the Evil Beast Demon King’s triumphant laughter.

”Hahaha, foolish woman, you are bound to die today!”

”Not necessarily!”

The woman was still as composed as before, the moonlight flickering behind her as her figure suddenly vanished.

”Moon Shadow Divine Movement!”

At this moment, her Body Movement Technique became ethereal and elusive, sharing a mysterious affinity with Ling Xiao’s Cloud Dragon Divine Movement.

It was clear that the woman’s ”Moon Shadow Divine Movement” was faster and more unpredictable. With each movement, she seemed to teleport, making it impossible to track her.

”You needn’t be surprised. The gap between your Cultivation Levels is too vast, so it’s normal that you can’t see their movements. Once you reach that realm, you’ll find their speed seems to slow down, but in fact, it’s just that you’ve adapted to that speed,” Yuan Venerate explained.

Yuan Venerate, as a master, was truly qualified; he probably encouraged Ling Xiao, fearing he would lose confidence after witnessing this scene.

But really, he needn’t have bothered.

Ling Xiao wasn’t one to give up easily.

The subsequent battle primarily revolved around the Evil Beast Demon King’s pursuit and the woman’s evasive counterattacks.

From this, it was evident that the woman’s Cultivation Level was indeed inferior to the Evil Beast Demon King’s. If this was the extent of her strength, she was destined to be defeated in this battle without a doubt.

While Ling Xiao’s Cultivation Level might not match theirs, his eyesight was by no means poor, a point in which he held ample confidence.

”Master, something doesn’t seem right!”

Ling Xiao said with a furrowed brow.

”What doesn’t seem right?”

Yuan Venerate inquired.

”Although Disciple cannot ascertain their true Cultivation Levels, judging by their attacks, the battle should be evenly matched. Yet that woman is clearly at a disadvantage. This is abnormal,” Ling Xiao analyzed. ”I suspect that the Evil Beast Demon King has arranged some kind of Array Formation in the Thousand Ghosts Forest that is affecting the battle.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Venerate looked at his disciple in astonishment and was speechless for a long while.

Was this young man’s analytical ability that strong? He could even perceive this?

”You’re right. Just now, your master felt it too. There’s a massive Array Formation set up inside the Thousand Ghosts Forest, known as the ’Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array.’ It’s on par with the ’Plague Osteoporosis Array,’ except that the Evil Beast Demon King’s current strength is much greater than the Plague Demon King’s, which makes the Array he has set up all the more formidable,” Yuan Venerate answered.

”The most terrifying aspect of this Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array is that it uses the Inner Elixirs of tens of thousands of Monster Beasts or Ferocious Beasts as materials for the array, combined with powerful Divine Inscriptions. Any living being that enters the Thousand Ghosts Forest will have their essence absorbed by the Array without realizing it.”

”Are you serious, Master? I don’t feel anything!” Ling Xiao asked in confusion.

”Of course, you feel nothing. Your master detected the presence of this great Array Formation the moment we entered the Thousand Ghosts Forest, and naturally, I took some precautions for you. Otherwise, do you think you’d be having such an easy time?” Yuan Venerate replied, somewhat irritated.

”This is too bizarre. No wonder the Evil Beast Demon King said he had arranged something in the Thousand Ghosts Forest. It was this Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array, wasn’t it?”

”Yes, the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array is divided into two states. Under normal circumstances, it slowly absorbs life essence, making it imperceptible to living creatures. However, when activated abruptly in battle, it’s terrifying, directly draining those good and evil creatures preparing for battle, and converging all energy into the Evil Beast Demon King’s body. That’s why his battle power surges so drastically—the greater the casualties, the stronger he becomes.”

Yuan Venerate nodded.

”This won’t do, that woman must be an acquaintance of mine, I need to help her.”

Ling Xiao frowned, ”Master, is there a way to break this array?”

”Impossible!”

Yuan Venerate shook his head, ”Even if we were to break it, it would require at least one day, and that’s with me personally taking action. By that time, their battle would have long since ended.”

”I’ll give it a try!”

Ling Xiao didn’t know if he could actually help that woman, but since she was a fellow sect member and an acquaintance, he had no reason to be a mere spectator.

After all, he wasn’t going to join the battle, just break the array.

”Even I can’t manage it, how could you? Sigh, never mind, if you want to do it, go ahead.”

Yuan Venerate initially wanted to stop Ling Xiao, but then he thought that this lad often displayed surprising performance, and perhaps this time he might bring a great surprise as well, letting the youngster try didn’t seem to be too inappropriate.

The battle in the sky was still ongoing.

Because of leveraging the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array, the Evil Beast Demon King was becoming increasingly stronger.

But defeating that woman quickly was not an easy task, her Body Movement Technique were too mysterious, and combined with her extremely sharp Sword Techniques, she was indeed not easy to deal with.

Ling Xiao quietly activated the Mountain and River Martial Soul, his eyes seemed to contain two universes, constantly rotating, with strange inscriptions flashing by in his pupils.

Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array was formidable, it was ultimately only on the same level as the Plague Osteoporosis Array.

The Evil Beast Demon King knew how to set up arrays, but it was a pity that he was not an Array Master. Though the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array he set up was passable, it was full of loopholes and flaws in Ling Xiao’s eyes.

To envelop the entire Thousand Ghosts Forest in the array, the fellow had resorted to using some inferior materials, causing the entire Array Formation’s structure to be extremely unstable.

Of course, even then, it was still a very decent Array Formation, and even a Array Master like Yuan Venerate would need at least one day to break it.

However, Ling Xiao was the exception.

The power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul definitely surpassed Yuan Venerate’s.

Combined with Ling Xiao’s powerful insight.

Merely one shichen later, a smile appeared on his face.

”I’ve found the method to break the array, but Master, I’m going to need you to lend me some strength. On my own, even if I’ve discovered the method, it would be very difficult to break it,” Ling Xiao said to Yuan Venerate.

”That’s no issue, who else if not for my disciple,” replied Yuan Venerate readily—actually, he too was eager to see how Ling Xiao planned to break the array.

”Good, shortly, Master, you don’t need to do anything else, just continuously infuse True Essence into this Array Refining Stone, and leave the rest to me,” Ling Xiao instructed.

”Okay!”

After discussing the plan, Ling Xiao began to break the array.

Yuan Venerate started to steadily infuse True Essence into an Array Refining Stone.

As the saying goes, a levee thousands of miles long may collapse because of an ant hole.

Though the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array had many vulnerabilities, only one was lethal, and finding this critical weakness was the key.
