Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 686: Chapter 555: Worthy?_2

The Demon Palace was like purgatory.

The Demon Cultivators were like evil ghosts.

Human faces were like drawing paper, on which ferocity, terror, cruelty, bloodthirst, greed… all sorts of expressions, like thick and splattered ink, painted a ghostly scroll of purgatory.

In the midst of cruelty, there was a kind of special, Gui Tao’s flavor.

It sent a shiver down one’s spine.

This strange madness, along with the demonic slaughter, left the four Feather Transformation Ancestors at a loss for how to intervene…

And when the clamor ended, and the dust settled,

this depiction of a demonic purgatory was finally completed.

All dead!

Hundreds of Golden Core Demon Cultivators, without a single survivor, all died tragically!

Anger was written on the faces of the four Feather Transformation Demon Ancestors.

Poison Venerable said with a quivering voice, “Good! Very good!”

He sneered harshly, “True to the name of the newly advanced ‘Taoist,’ you kill your own kind without cause, with such sinister and ruthless methods! It really proves the saying, ‘Those not of my way are surely of different minds!ʼ”

“I’d like to see how he explains himself to the Demon Monarch!”

But Xuan Sanren frowned, “Could this person from Gui Tao really have gone mad, killing so many Golden Cores? What exactly for?”

A fierce light flashed in Black Arhat’s eyes, “Does he intend… to monopolize that opportunity?!”

Madam Miao sneered, “Quite an appetite…”

As the four spoke, they suddenly paused.

They noticed that the atmosphere inside the Demon Palace had suddenly become even colder. The Golden Core Cultivators were all dead, but that pervasive, eerie feeling had grown even stronger.

The four wore solemn expressions and remained silent.

Moments later, in the silent Demon Palace, rustling sounds emerged.

A cold wind blew suddenly.

One after another, these slain Golden Cores twisted and slowly stood up.

They were mutilated and drenched in blood, but without exception, their pupils had turned pitch-black and hollow.

One “person from Gui Tao” was dead.

But hundreds of people from Gui Tao stood up…

The Golden Core Demon Cultivators in this Demon Palace, dead and then “reborn,” had all become people from Gui Tao!

They gazed at the Feather Transformation Demon Ancestors atop the bone thrones with dark and ghastly eyes.

All four Feather Transformation Demon Ancestors felt a chill.

An unbelievable suspicion arose in their minds…

This person from Gui Tao, not satisfied with killing hundreds of Golden Cores, couldn’t possibly be… planning to kill even the four of them, the Feather Transformation Demon Ancestors, right?!

This… was no longer described as presumptuous.

It was simply… audacious to the extreme!

Black Arhat laughed in extreme anger, “You want to kill me? Fine! Then let me see just how you, this person from Gui Tao hiding your head and showing your tail, a parasite, plan to kill me?”

But Poison Venerable’s gaze was elusive, his heart chilled.

No, it’s possible…

Being of Feather Transformation was revered, with few precedents of dying at the hands of Golden Cores.

Because there weren’t that many Golden Cores.

Nor did they have the guts.

But in reality, once there were enough Golden Cores, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives, even Feather Transformation Cultivators, when besieged, could be in danger of falling.

What’s more, this was within the Third-Grade State Boundary.

They, as Feather Transformation Cultivators, were not allowed to use the power of Feather Transformation.

To manipulate Golden Cores, to besiege Feather Transformation!

This seemed impossible, but was indeed, a set-up for slaughter.

Only they had never imagined…

They had believed the enemy to be the Taoist Court, to be Mr. Zhuang, but they had never expected that the real threat would come from this person from Gui Tao!

Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation blocked the escape route.

Planting Devil in Taoist Heart controlled the Golden Cores.

Using Golden Cores, to besiege Feather Transformation!

Herding wolves, to devour a fierce tiger!

The more Poison Venerable thought about it, the colder his heart felt.

They were calculated against!

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to gather so many Golden Core Demon Cultivators.

Nor would the four great Feather Transformation Ancestors normally come together.

Yet at this very moment, all the conditions were met.

So while this seemed audacious, in reality, it was extremely meticulous and sinister, catching them completely off guard!

“As expected of… a person from Gui Tao…”

Poison Venerable internally reflected.

Xuan Sanren asked, “Venerable, what should we do now?”

Poison Venerable glanced at the surrounding Golden Core Demon Cultivators, controlled by Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, eager to devour someone, and sighed, “We are all from the Demon Path, part of the same alliance. I am reluctant to strike them down; the best course of action is to try and forcibly break through Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation, to escape the Demon Palace. We can plan our next steps afterwards…”

Xuan Sanren agreed, “The Venerable speaks sense.”

Thereafter, the four executed their various methods, intending to forcibly break through Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation.

Black Arhat still used black blood, condensing into skeletons;

Madam Miao’s tool was a delicately flesh-colored and exquisite Beauty Fan;

Xuan Sanren wielded a Demon Sword;

And Poison Venerable utilized a dark earthen jar-shaped Snake Gu, from which Evil Power in the form of venomous snakes spread out, gnawing at the Formation.

The large Demon Palace, with mottled and neglected stone walls, was instantly riddled with holes.

Exposed beneath were numerous, eerily black-gray Formation Patterns.

These Patterns, like living creatures, would regenerate and differentiate themselves after destruction, naturally evolving to maintain the operation of the Formation…

“Impossible… it can’t be broken through?”

The four Feather Transformation Demon Ancestors furrowed their brows.

Only then did they realize how tricky the Formation of the person from Gui Tao was…

But Mo Hua’s heart was greatly shaken.

This Formation!

It was not an ordinary Formation!

Other Cultivators might not understand, and even high-grade Formation Masters, limited by their knowledge, might not grasp its intricacies.

But Mo Hua was different.

He was a disciple of Mr. Zhuang, and also a disciple-in-law of the person from Gui Tao.

His understanding of Formations had been taught by Mr. Zhuang.

He had studied the Calculation Method, and had even received the teaching of the Calculation Method from the legacy of the Five Elements Sect, so he was well-versed in it.

He could tell that this Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation was no ordinary Formation!
