Eight Arrays Diagram
Only Xiao Yi's Doomsday Sword was covered with Samei True Flame. When the blood cloud pounced on Xiao Yi's sword, it made a slight sound, and it was difficult to break in for a while.
However, it had not been long since Xiao Yi obtained Samei True Flame, and he had no way to cultivate it. It was rare. Although it temporarily protected the blood cloud from invading, it couldn't gain any advantage. In the sky full of blood clouds, the sword was like a lone lamp, tottering alone.
However, Xiao Yi had no time to think too much at the moment. The most important thing was to save people. His True Energy immediately enveloped Mr. Xuanzhen and the others. With a move of his mind, he would first absorb them into his own sword light.
Everyone's heart was already cold. Who knew that at the critical moment, Xiao Yi protected them with the sword light and made them feel like they were not on the verge of death?
However, looking at the sword light of Xiao Yi, which was like a firefly within the thick blood cloud, it was in imminent danger. The little hope that had just ignited in everyone's heart was shattered again.
The crowd gathered under Xiao Yi's sword light and looked at the rolling blood cloud in fear. They were like sitting on a small boat in the hurricane of the sea, trembling with fear.
The most desperate thing was that in the face of this freakish old devil who was like protected by the magic spell, no one could think of a way to destroy it. Everyone had been in the Cultivation World for many years, but now they had felt an unprecedented crisis. They could smell the smell of death.
Xiao Yi was also very anxious. The Samei True Flame could temporarily resist the blood cloud, but it wouldn't last long.
Once the sword light was broken, all the people present would become fresh blood.
"We can't attack or defend against this old demon. If this continues, won't it be hard for us to escape death?"
However, the Forefather Blood Devil was not in a hurry to take their lives. Instead, it seemed to be enjoying the feeling of playing a cat-and-mouse game. It wrapped Xiao Yi's group with the blood cloud, slowly eroding Xiao Yi's sword light. It did not intend to kill them. The more terrified they were, the happier it became. After being chased and sealed by the Orthodox Sects for hundreds of years, it had gained a perverted treatment.
When Pan Kun saw this scene, he couldn't suppress his laughter. He greatly flattered the Forefather Blood Devil, making it extremely happy.
Xiao Yi heard the father and son echoing each other, but he couldn't do anything. He could only try his best to enter the Doomsday Sword and inject True Energy into it to support himself.
Just as he was at a loss of what to do, a stammering voice rang out in his mind, "Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Yi, this, this Forefather Forefather Blood Devil, no, he can't be attacked by any magic spell. You, you, you have to rely on pure force to kill it."
"Soul Devouring Beast? Kill it with pure force?" With that stuttering voice, Xiao Yi naturally knew that it was the Soul Devouring Beast in the gourd. But after understanding the meaning behind its words, Xiao Yi's heart suddenly trembled.
The Soul Devouring Beast was originally a fierce beast in the demon world, and the Forefather Blood Devil also came from the Nether Blood Sea. In that case, the words of the Soul-Devouring Beast were likely to be true.
However, after a while, Xiao Yi frowned. Forefather Blood Devil wasn't a fool. How could it wait for Xiao Yi to kill it by force? He couldn't even escape this blood cloud alone, let alone kill him with force.
Beside him, Yun Lang saw Xiao Yi's expression change and could not help asking in a low voice, "Xiao Yi, what should we do?"
"This Forefather Blood Devil can't be attacked by magic, it can still be killed with pure force. However, how can we subdue it, even if it's just temporarily?" Xiao Yi sent the message to Yun Lang.
Yun Lang's brows twitched slightly when he heard these words. He thought for a moment before clenching his teeth violently. After which, he took out an extremely shabby map from his chest pocket.
Yun Lang's heart ached, but he also resolutely handed the map to Xiao Yi.
As soon as Xiao Yi saw the picture, he was shocked. It was the top treasure of Emei, the "Eight Arrays Diagram"!
"A replica! Although it's a replica, it's also a pass down treasure of our Emei Sect. It's already an immortal weapon. When I went out, my master said that I would encounter a disaster, so he specially asked me to take this map with me. I didn't expect that I would meet a disaster here." Yun Lang said to Xiao Yi.
The Eight Arrays Diagram was one of Emei's supreme treasures. The real one was an immortal weapon from Korea. Once it was used by the legend, it could create a self-made formation and trap people inside it silently, without knowing. If they didn't know the methods of the array, even the immortals could not escape.
Although the Eight Arrays Diagram in Yun Lang's hand was a replica, from its dense spirit energy fluctuations, one could see that its power was definitely extraordinary.
Yun Lang's expression became solemn. However, he continued to speak to Xiao Yi. "Xiao Yi, I will activate the Diagram in a moment. Being able to hold out for a short period of time under the blood cloud will allow you to think of a way to forcefully attack that Forefather Blood Devil. What do you say?"
Xiao Yi was overjoyed and immediately said, "Since the Eight Arrays Diagram is here, today, it's time for this old devil to take the tribulation. Brother Yun, you just need to go ahead. Even if you can subdue the old devil for a moment, I have my own strategy."
At this point, Yun Lang couldn't think too much. He made up his mind and threw the Eight Arrays Diagram into the range of Xiao Yi's sword light all of a sudden. With an urger of his True Energy, the Eight Arrays Diagram emitted a soft white light. It rotated slowly and rose from the layers of blood clouds.
However, even if this quasi-immortal passed through the blood cloud, it was also seriously damaged. The soft white light on it became less intense than it was at the beginning.
However, it was only aimed at the direction of the Forefather Blood Devil.
"Trap it!" Yun Lang shouted loudly. He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of pure Yang essence blood, spraying it onto the Eight Arrays Diagram. The soft white light immediately grew brighter. The air turned and the eight formation diagrams twisted in the air, distorting space. The soft white light wrapped the Forefather Blood Devil within. The surrounding scenery immediately changed, turning into sand and rocks. In the midst of a violent storm and snow, one could not see the original space-time clearly.
The Forefather Blood Devil did not take them seriously at all and was enjoying the torturing feeling with Pan Kun. However, wisps of white light rose in front of them. At first, the Forefather Blood Devil thought it was a magic treasure for attacking, but it did not take it seriously at all. Unexpectedly, it fell into the formation in an instant.
"It's actually the Eight Arrays Diagram!" The Forefather Blood Devil was naturally experienced and knowledgeable. It recognized the Eight Arrays Diagram at a glance, but it still didn't care. It laughed coldly, "It's a pity that it's a fake. Even if it's a real one, I don't have to fear it! Activating the diagram in my blood cloud is simply seeking death. Break it!"
As it spoke, the blood cloud all around it gathered. In an instant, they all surged toward the Eight Arrays Diagram.
Blood cloud had specialized in breaking magic treasures to begin with. As soon as it touched the Eight Arrays Diagram, a series of 'chi chi chi' sounds could be heard. Countless holes instantly appeared on the Eight Arrays Diagram.
"Xiao Yi, quick, this map cannot hold on for long!" Yun Lang's face was pale, and he forced himself to inject True Energy into the Eight Arrays Diagram. He also felt sad that under the vicious blood cloud, the Eight Arrays Diagram was already dying. In such a short time, it was not enough for Xiao Yi to use any means.
However, a happy expression appeared on Xiao Yi's face as he shouted loudly, "Soul Devouring Beast, why haven't you made your move yet? What are you waiting for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flashed and the black Soul Devouring Beast jumped out of the gourd.
The moment the black figure suddenly appeared, the crowd around Xiao Yi was shocked.
But there were also some experienced and knowledgeable people, such as Mr. Xuanzhen, who exclaimed, "Soul Devouring Beast! It's the Soul Devouring Beast from hell!"
"Soul Devouring Beast? The Soul Devouring Beast that is said to be specially used to devour spirits?" Everyone cried out in surprise as they stared at the Soul Devouring Beast with wide eyes.
The Soul Devouring Beast was the focus of everyone's attention. However, it did not care at all. Its large nose suddenly shook, and an enormous suction force was emitted from its nostrils. Its target was Forefather Blood Devil within the blood cloud.
"Soul Devouring Beast?" The moment the originally unrestrained Forefather Blood Devil saw the Soul Devouring Beast, it let out a cry of surprise.
Hundreds of years ago, the Forefather Blood Devil was defeated by the Kunlun Leader, Yi Yangzi, and its primordial spirit was scattered. Although it had been refined after hundreds of years of recuperating, its spirit at this moment still could not compare with that in its heyday.
A re-condensed soul had always been a sore spot for the Forefather Blood Devil. How could it not be shocked when it saw the Soul Devouring Beast in front of it? It hadn't been anticipated that there was a Soul Devouring Beast next to Xiao Yi that only focused on devouring spirits.
On the other side, it was trying its best to break Emei's Eight Arrays Diagram, but it was seized by the Soul Devouring Beast in a moment of inattention.
It felt as if its Mind Sea had lightened, and its soul was about to leave its body.
"Oh no!" Forefather Blood Devil's heart throbbed. It could not care less about trapping Xiao Yi and the others. The blood cloud that filled the sky immediately shrank back. With a puff, it broke the Eight Array Diagram first. Then, it absorbed all of the blood cloud into its body. The bloodstained body, which was originally more than three meters tall, instantly turned into a body that was at least 100 feet tall. It did everything it could to resist the Soul Devouring Beast's attack.
As soon as the blood cloud withdrew, the pressure on the people hiding under Xiao Yi's sword light immediately subsided.
"Hiss!" They didn't expect that this sudden appearance of such an ugly strange beast could actually solve their crisis in an instant.
And at this very moment, how could Xiao Yi miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He shouted, "Duanmu, Old Ape, what are you waiting for?"
While speaking, Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the Spirit Convergence Needle was already in Xiao Yi's hand. He jumped into the air and immediately shook his body. The Spirit Convergence Needle turned into a hundred feet long. Carrying a pressure as heavy as a mountain, it whistled and smashed toward the Forefather Blood Devil.
How could Duanmu hesitate upon hearing Xiao Yi's roar? He leaped into the air and skyrocketed. With a series of crackling sounds from his bones, he transformed into a Sky-ghost body several feet high. In his hand, he held a Dark Metal Trident. With a flash, he crossed the void and arrived in front of the Forefather Blood Devil. He raised the Dark Black Fork high up and struck it hard downward.
The grey-clothed old man Old Ape immediately took big steps toward the Forefather Blood Devil. Within a few steps, it had already turned into a violent ape. Its two fists, bigger than small mountains, were like two sledgehammers as it swung towards the Forefather Blood Devil.
