Chapter 502 - 255: Breaking Free from Shackles into Undying Flesh, I Seize Yellow Springs with the Nether River
However, Zheng Yi’s footsteps did not stop, five-colored lightning flickered around him, each brilliant bolt of lightning resembling a five-colored flying sword, tearing open the darkness and rendering it into nothingness under the strong light.
These blood monkeys were tainted with an aura of evil, and the celestial thunder itself was the purest yang attack, with great power possessing terrifying lethality to these evil creatures.
Zheng Yi only maintained the flickering of the five-colored divine light around him, with the Little Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo inside him operating at full power, the robust magical power continuously transformed into a Five Elements Particle Storm under the effect of his Dao Embryo constitution, forming a tide of thunder and lightning.
The five-colored lightning bolts, under the command of the Thunder Talisman, exploded one after another, easily knocking away the blood monkeys baring fangs and brandishing claws, pouncing towards him.
Under the lightning, the blood monkeys often let out a scream and under the fearsome five-colored lightning, were turned into charred black cinders.
Endless blood monkeys continuously emerged from the Yellow Springs River, their numbers vast, with pairs of blood-red eyes extending into the depths of the endless darkness, as if their numbers were inexhaustible.
Yet, around Zheng Yi’s body, there were even more Thunder Talismans.
Outside, he utilized a large amount of resources from the Daluo Alliance, hiring numerous Talisman Masters to specially draw Thunder Talismans for him, his amassed wealth like a small mountain, converting these vast resources entirely into formidable combat power, becoming Zheng Yi’s regular means of attack.
The five-colored lightning was truly terrifying, densely packed lightning sweeping over almost every inch of space where Zheng Yi was, any blood monkey leaping from the darkness was struck by the fearsome lightning, turning into piles of cinders, falling onto the steps.
Just behind where Zheng Yi walked, those piles of black cinders were like a cemetery for blood monkeys, piling up from top to bottom, more and more, almost like a range of small mountains.
Yet, the ever-increasing number of blood monkeys persisted in appearing, one following the other, like moths to a flame, or fierce ghosts seeking to drag Zheng Yi into hell together.
Zheng Yi’s expression did not change, continuing downward along the Yellow Springs River bank, the five-colored divine light around him constantly emitting dense lightning flashes.
Countless ferocious and terrifying blood monkeys all perished under this tidal wave of lightning.
Zheng Yi appeared like a luminous ball of thunder and fire, attracting the attention of those terrible creatures lurking in the darkness, all pouncing upon him.
Throughout the entire process, Zheng Yi never stopped moving, for in such a situation, the last thing one should do is wait in place, plunging into passivity. Instead, it was better to move forward unremittingly, to break through the obstruction.
Zheng Yi, with his rich combat experience, naturally couldn’t make such a huge mistake.
Under the illumination of the five-colored lightning, the numerous blood monkeys collapsed rapidly, crumbling, utterly perishing to death.
When Zheng Yi stepped down the last step, standing upon the riverbank of the Yellow Springs’ surging waves, those endless blood monkeys seemed to vanish in an instant, leaving behind countless dense piles of black cinders behind him, like countless tombstones erected.
Zheng Yi stood on the embankment of the Yellow Springs River, his gaze fixed on the fearsome river water, unexpectedly discovering a strange blood-colored strand gradually emerging from the murky yellow depths.
The blood color intensified, gradually converging as if intending to dye the Yellow Springs red.
Just like various bloods fully blending, like rivers flowing into the sea, finally gathering together.
Even at a great distance, the scent of blood from the cultivators, containing essence, filled every inch of air.
What surprised Zheng Yi even more was that within this unpleasant mixed scent, a bone-chilling aura slowly drifted out from the Yellow Springs River, condensing in the air, growing ever thicker.
"Indeed, the so-called Demon Slaying Conference and Dao Destruction Conference were just a facade!"
"The Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect and the few major Righteous Core Formation Sect Alliances have laid out a major scheme for a thousand or two thousand years, each time gathering such a large number of cultivators from the Righteous and Demonic Dao into the scheme, with grand ambitions..."
On the Yellow Springs River, the water surface bubbled like boiling water, continuously emitting blood-colored bubbles, which floated and burst on the water surface, with strands of blood mist rising and slowly covering the river overhead.
No wonder Zheng Yi felt a faintly gathering layer of black mist over the Yellow Springs River, now he realized this was no ordinary blood mist, but the abundant essence of blood from accomplished cultivators, the foundation of their entire being.
The Yellow Springs River’s nature covered everything, causing Zheng Yi to not immediately detect the details within.
Now, it seems everything follows a traceable pattern.
The Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect, Brahma Heaven Temple, and Little Five Elements Sword Sect’s goals are also clear.
It’s likely the entire Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven is shrouded in a massive array, connecting upper and lower layers, with the upper containing the rumored Nascent Soul Gathering Pill in Sumeru Palace, while below, there exists a hidden space, filled with the Yellow Springs River, housing the Senluo Hall.
All lives perished within, their ultimate essential nature of essence would be absorbed by the array enveloping the entire cave heaven, ultimately converging in the Yellow Springs River.
And the foreign and uninvited cultivators, their blood containing essence from years of arduous cultivation, are likely another necessary ingredient or a necessary means to drive some change in the array.
