Chapter 1170: Chapter 731: Blood River Celestial Killing (Part 6)
After Ao Dongcheng possessed the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon, his voice changed in tone and became extraordinarily grand.
Every word he spoke reverberated through heaven and earth, causing a thunderous roar.
Some weaker cultivators were shattered on the spot by this overpowering voice.
After Ao Dongcheng finished speaking, at least tens of thousands of cultivators around the Dharma Platform were shaken to death. The scene was quite bloody.
The multitude of cultivators was even more terrified. If Ao Dongcheng’s power was already like this without truly exerting himself, what would happen when he actually made a move?
Many cultivators turned to Gao Xuan. Some even shouted, "Celestial Master Gao, this is a feud between you and the Dragon King; it has nothing to do with us."
"Celestial Master Gao, don’t drag us into this..."
Gao Xuan ignored the shouting cultivators and instead scrutinized the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon; Ao Dongcheng had effectively switched to a more powerful body.
The Blood Evil Thunder Dragon was transformed by an array. Without breaking the array, it was impossible to truly kill the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon.
However, the array was complex, and Gao Xuan wasn’t proficient in this. Even with the Formless Nine Revolutions Inference, he couldn’t immediately find its core.
Ao Dongcheng didn’t make a move either. Even though he merged with the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon, he wasn’t confident he could kill Gao Xuan.
If by mistake he exposed a flaw and let Gao Xuan escape from the array, it would spell trouble.
Ao Dongcheng shouted, "Gao Xuan is so despicable, yet you cultivators just sit and watch. You all deserve to die too."
He shouted in anger, his voice shaking the surroundings and filling heaven and earth.
Immediately, another tens of thousands of cultivators couldn’t withstand the fierce evil qi, and their bodies shattered in the turbulent qi on the spot.
The dead cultivators were like shattered firecrackers; with so many dead, it looked as if thousands of firecrackers had just been set off on the ground, leaving a blanket of blood-red fragments.
The essence blood and divine souls of these dead cultivators were absorbed by the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon Array and transformed into the power of the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon.
Ao Dongcheng felt his own power continually increasing, and he was quite satisfied with it. Since his body had been destroyed, having a body like the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon wasn’t bad, and he might even become stronger.
Ao Dongcheng was reluctant to ascend because the competition in the Upper Realm was fierce, and he wasn’t confident he could achieve Earth Immortal status.
With the body of the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon, he naturally mastered the supreme Dao of an Earth Immortal. Whether staying in the Cyan Celestial Realm or ascending, he could live comfortably.
The urgent task was to kill all the cultivators and boost the power of the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon. Finally, destroy Gao Xuan!
Though Ao Dongcheng was strong, he didn’t like to use brute force.
He said to the cultivators of the Buddhist and Daoist Sects, "Are you cultivators of the Buddha and Dao collaborating with Gao Xuan?"
Bai Yunsheng, Profound Mirror, and others hurriedly denied it. Not to mention that they hadn’t done it; even if they had, they wouldn’t dare to admit it.
Ao Dongcheng shouted loudly, "If you join forces to kill Gao Xuan now, I will let you go."
Once said, the cultivators of both the Buddhist and Daoist Sects fell silent.
Did Ao Dongcheng dislike conflict, so was Gao Xuan fond of it? Ao Dongcheng’s move was clearly to make them fight among themselves. They weren’t that foolish!
"Just knew you all had your doubts..."
Ao Dongcheng angrily shouted; he stretched out a dragon claw and clawed down strongly.
The huge dragon claw descended from the sky like five mountain peaks. Although many cultivators desperately urged the array, they still couldn’t block the claw.
The Dharma Platform instantly collapsed, leaving a dragon claw-shaped deep pit on the ground. Out of hundreds of thousands of cultivators, at least eighty percent were crushed into powder by this blow.
The Eastern Province Daoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect withstood this attack, and also a few top-tier Human Immortals and demon kings blocked the dragon claw.
Although many powerful cultivators didn’t die, witnessing the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon’s horror made each of them ashen-faced.
Gao Xuan easily blocked the dragon claw, even piercing a large hole in the claw, but he couldn’t stop it.
Within this array, he couldn’t directly compare power with the Blood Evil Thunder Dragon.
After Ao Dongcheng killed many cultivators, his power increased significantly. Instead, he was not in a hurry to make another move.
He said to the cultivators of the Eastern Province Daoist Sect, "You Daoists are cowardly as mice, not daring to kill Gao Xuan. How about this, if you destroy the Buddhist Sect, I will spare you."
Jiang Yumei, Bai Yunsheng, and others were stunned. Did Ao Dongcheng really think they were fools?
Unexpectedly, a few Daoist Immortals spoke out, "It’s not impossible; after all, there’s nothing good about the Buddhist Sect."
"We don’t need to be at odds with the Dragon King."
Jiang Yumei couldn’t stand it, "Have you lost your mind? Ao Dongcheng is just toying with us!"
Hearing Jiang Yumei’s words, Ao Dongcheng laughed, "Indeed, cowardly as mice, not daring to kill the Buddhist Sect. How about this, dissolve your array, and I will spare you."
Before Jiang Yumei could speak, a Daoist Immortal loudly asked, "Does the Dragon King mean it?"
"Breaking your array is as easy as pie; why should I deceive you?"
Ao Dongcheng said arrogantly, "I am the dignified Dragon King; when have I ever deceived anyone."
Immediately, many sects within the Daoist Sect voluntarily withdrew from the Tai Chi Xuan Du Array. Jiang Yumei was nearly infuriated to death.
Withered Wood sighed, "There’s no chance. Send Jiang Yuelan away. Let her avenge us in the future."
Jiang Yumei hesitated for a moment and said, "With Gao Xuan here, it won’t come to that."
At this moment, Ao Dongcheng said to the numerous Buddhist Sect powerhouses, "You too, give up resistance now, dissolve the array, and I will spare your lives."
Many in the Buddhist Sect showed signs of hesitation. Ao Dongcheng was, after all, the Dragon King, his word was as good as gold. Surely he wouldn’t deceive them. Didn’t you see that the Daoist Sect had already voluntarily withdrawn from the array?
However, the Buddhist Sect remained united. Profound Words firmly refused to allow any retreat, what a joke, after tens of thousands of cultivators had died, were they still waiting for the Dragon King’s mercy? That would be crazy!
Even if they couldn’t win, they would fight to the death. To die kneeling in surrender would be humiliating!
Gao Xuan heard Profound Words’ statement and nodded secretly; the leaders of the Buddhist and Daoist Sects weren’t entirely foolish.
At this stage, there were no alternative paths!
Gao Xuan had kept silent because he hadn’t yet found the core of the array. As Ao Dongcheng continued to absorb cultivator divine soul essence blood, traces would always be revealed during the power conversion.
The superior inference and calculation ability of Formless Nine Revolutions also enabled Gao Xuan to locate the core of Blood Evil Thunder Dragon’s transformation.
However, Ao Dongcheng was having a great time; he said to the separated majority of Daoist cultivators, "You are very smart. But, I was just toying with you. Hahaha..."
Laughing wildly, he stretched out a giant dragon claw again, pressing down, while the Buddhist Sect and Daoist Sect each activated their arrays to resist, the divided Daoist cultivators didn’t have time to arrange an array, so they could only individually activate their magical artifacts.
This group of Daoist cultivators wailed and cursed but couldn’t stop the dragon claw. As the claw descended, this group of Daoist cultivators was crushed to death on the spot. Even the Human Immortal powerhouses were not spared.
Ao Dongcheng’s little scheme succeeded, and he laughed arrogantly.
At that moment, within Ao Dongcheng’s huge eyes appeared a flash of brilliant and clear sword light.
Ao Dongcheng sneered inwardly, just waiting for you to come!
In his eyes, the scarlet thunder light suddenly intensified, the Blood River Celestial Killing Divine Thunder condensed into a scarlet electric beam and struck Gao Xuan directly.
Gathering the evil qi of tens of thousands of cultivators, let’s see how Gao Xuan defends!
