Chapter 1705 Seizing the Core of the Array: Blood God vs. 'Nightmare'
"The High Priest, as the controller of the Forbidden Sea,
Its depth and complexity are unfathomable, and its methods are unpredictable and difficult to defend against.
Although the Chaos Tribulation Sword Formation is powerful, no one can guarantee that the opponent does not have a desperate, all-or-nothing trump card!
Never give the other side a chance to breathe, and never gamble that they will be slowly worn down!
The most urgent task is to address the root cause!
In the blink of an eye.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze fell on the core of the world-shaking array that covered the entire forbidden sea sky and exuded endless pressure!
Only by seizing partial or even complete control of this formation can we truly lock down the High Priest's power of resistance and end this life-or-death struggle!
This was also the core objective behind his risky deployment of the sword formation!
"This is the moment!"
Cheng Buzheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he no longer hesitated!
He took a step out into the air!
The void beneath their feet rippled like water, and the ripples of the laws of space spread silently.
next moment!
Not far from the massive array of light curtains, where chaotic energy surged wildly and emitted destructive fluctuations, space seemed to be drawn back as if an invisible curtain had been drawn.
A tall and slender figure stood silently in mid-air!
The newcomer was dressed in a black Taoist robe, seemingly simple and unadorned, yet exuding a profound Taoist charm as deep as the starry sky.
His jet-black hair was tied up with a simple bamboo hairpin, his face was handsome, but his eyes were like the deep space of the universe.
Beneath its calm surface lies a gaze that reveals the wisdom to see through all things and an absolute composure to control everything.
It was Cheng Buzheng!
He has shown up!
No longer hidden in the void!
Facing the golden array in the sky above, still radiating world-destroying pressure and stirring restlessly!
His gaze pierced through the surging waves of chaos, locking firmly onto the core of the sky where the golden light was most dazzling and the laws were most condensed.
That place is the core of this awe-inspiring formation.
This is also the key to seizing this opportunity!
···
In that instant when Cheng Buzheng's figure tore through the void without warning and appeared clearly in the turbulent, undercurrent-filled void—
Deep beneath the vast blue waves of the True Dragon Sea lies a magnificent palace, constructed from precious spiritual minerals, resembling an ancient behemoth lying dormant.
Perched atop the sole throne in the main hall, 'Shark Minghong,' whose entire body was covered in dark blue scales and whose aura was as deep as the ocean, had been displaying a genuine joy of having everything under control and with everything settled. However, this joy was instantly frozen in place, as if by ice, and his majestic face froze.
A hint of obvious astonishment and pause flashed in those deep, demonic eyes that seemed to reflect the whirlpools at the bottom of the sea.
This barely perceptible, brief moment of surprise was like a drop of water falling into a still, icy pool.
It was instantly swallowed up by the chilling realization that followed.
The stiff curve of his lips slowly flattened, eventually turning into a sigh mixed with murderous intent and helplessness.
"really!
That ghostly Nightmare Clan cub finally couldn't hold back any longer and revealed itself!
This conclusion resonated deep within Shark Minghong's heart, carrying an undeniable certainty.
He relied not on guesswork, but on firsthand experience!
In the vast spiritual realm He knew, only one power could so perfectly deceive the perception of a Void Refinement expert like Him, lurking so close at hand—
That is the almost instinctive, ever-present latent secret technique of the Nightmare Clan, the innate beings!
That fleeting encounter, that eerie aura that seemed to haunt him and vanish in an instant, had already left an indelible mark on his heart.
Therefore, the human Nascent Soul cultivator in front of me, whose aura is unfamiliar and whose face is completely unrecognizable, must be the cunning Nightmare Clan scum disguised as a human!
of course!
'Sha Minghong' is not an arrogant person.
He knew that in the vast spirit realm, among all the myriad races, the mysterious and hidden methods employed were not limited to the Nightmare race alone.
Many powerful races are either skilled in this art or possess extraordinary talent, yet without exception...
They all come from a naturally noble and ancient race.
Or perhaps they are descendants who have inherited the power of the true spirit!
This place is the lower realm where spiritual energy is gradually depleting!
For this barren soil to give birth to a member of the Nightmare Clan is already a stroke of divine favor, a once-in-a-million chance.
It's almost like a miracle of withered trees coming back to life.
How could a second special life, born from birth, be born in the same era and in the same region?
The constraints of the laws of nature are more cruel and merciless than any ironclad rule.
It is precisely because of this cold reality that 'Shark Minghong' dares to assert—
This "human" cultivator must be a fake!
Moreover, He had already taken in all the Nascent Soul cultivators from both the human and demon races during the previous chaos.
This unfamiliar face belonged neither to either race, nor was it a cultivator from the Infernal Clan that He was familiar with—
So there's only one answer: the nightmare maggot that's always been hiding behind the scenes.
Now this scoundrel has finally lost his temper and is personally reaping the fruits that are about to ripen!
'Sha Minghong' never let his guard down in guarding against this rat in the gutter.
Now, the opponent has finally been lured out by the ultimate prize, just as expected!
However, upon closer reflection, this makes perfect sense.
Previously, the island-moving venerable child and the traitorous slave—
The blood-robed priest who betrayed his people and now wields terrifying power—the breathtaking battle that erupted stirred the laws of nature and shattered the void; its scale was immense.
It shook almost every corner of this sea area!
How could it not attract the venomous snakes lurking in the shadows?
Even worse, that nightmare cub may have been lurking in the void from the very beginning, like the most patient hunter, quietly and greedily observing the development of events, letting the pieces crush and consume each other, just so that when the dust settles and both sides are exhausted...
Strike with lightning speed and seize the final, sweetest fruits of victory!
This is in line with the nature of the Nightmare Clan, who are adept at manipulating people's hearts.
In the blink of an eye, countless cold yet clear distracting thoughts, like lightning, repeatedly washed over, stirred, and clarified within 'Sha Minghong's' profound and powerful mind!
Then, the enormous figure on the throne leaned back slightly, letting out a low, long sigh.
Like a chilling current from the depths of hell, it slowly spread through the empty hall, carrying a hint of helplessness as it was swept up by fate.
"So be it!" He murmured to himself.
"Even if things take a turn for the worse, with the traitor's current cultivation level at the Void Refinement stage, coupled with the [Blood God True Body] that He painstakingly forged..."
Even if I can't overcome that bizarre and unpredictable nightmare power, I should be able to protect myself!
His faith stemmed from the previous agreement:
"The 'Law Body' forging method that the nightmare brat obtained from me is just an incomplete fragment. At most, it is only the principle of forging the Law Body and a partial introduction!"
The true methods of cultivation are found in the later volumes.
However, even I don't have the later volumes, so the Nightmare Clan brat in this lower realm has no chance of obtaining the subsequent methods.
"Besides..."
A cold, disdainful glint appeared in 'Shark Minghong's' mind:
"That Nightmare brat is nothing more than a wild, innate being from the lower realm, who has never received the orthodox teachings and core inheritance of the true Nightmare Clan."
Based solely on those fragmented innate memories within one's bloodline?
Hmph, you want to understand the casting methods recorded in 'Taoist script'?
It’s simply a fool’s errand!
Even a single Daoist text cannot truly reveal its profound meaning!
Even if the other party had obtained that method some time ago, with his pitiful foundation, he probably hadn't even scratched the surface of it; at most, he had only vaguely grasped the true meaning of a few Daoist texts.
therefore……
There is absolutely no way that He could use this secret method to perfectly fuse the precious source of the law with His own magical power and forge a true treasure body containing the profound mysteries of the law!
Not to mention refining the power of laws that can shake the void!
"In this way, even if the Nightmare Clan's innate supernatural abilities are so strange that the traitorous slaves' attacks are ineffective, as long as the defense is solid, that brat will also be unable to break through the Blood God's True Body, which is a tough nut to crack!"
While our offensive capabilities may be lacking, our defensive strength is more than sufficient!
This is my thoughts.
The tension that had been building up around 'Sha Minghong' due to the unexpected event finally began to ease.
The tension, like a cold stone, quietly sank into the depths of my consciousness.
Obviously.
In the eyes of this powerful figure from the upper realm, the traitorous slave draped in blood robes might be far less cunning and unpredictable than the Innate Nightmare.
However, relying on the formidable foundation of the [Blood God True Body], and his genuine, already unshaken, Void Refinement Realm cultivation...
Protect yourself!
This is the bare minimum and the highest requirement right now—it's enough!
Although the invisible weight in my heart has lessened slightly...
But 'Sha Minghong' was not completely at ease.
His enormous demonic eyes, gleaming with a dark, eerie blue light that seemed capable of piercing through spatial barriers, remained fixed on a light screen before him, formed by a secret technique and shimmering with water-like patterns.
Within the light screen, the ultimate battle that would determine everything was clearly reflected on the sea!
Not daring to miss a single moment!
He feared that the traitorous slave might be blinded by greed or misled by the Nightmare Clan's strange methods, making a foolish and ignorant decision, thus allowing the treacherous Nightmare child to find a flaw and completely suppress and seal him away!
If so...
He wanted to return to the Void Refinement Grand Plan in a short time—
Another unexpected complication will arise, forcing a delay of a long enough period to cause Him great anxiety!
He had complete confidence that He still had various means to restrain and force the traitorous slave into submission.
But what about those rootless, slippery Nightmare Clan cultivators?
He was helpless!
That was a huge variable, completely different from His control system!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the distance—
The battlefield between sea and sky was torn apart by the brilliance of the strange formation.
The moment Cheng Buzheng's figure appeared, he stood upright and righteously in the trembling void with an air of supreme authority, his eyes sharp as lightning.
No hesitation!
There wasn't even the slightest exchange of glances!
As if the movements had been practiced a million times and were already etched into his bones, his hands suddenly transformed into two phantoms!
"Buzz—hiss!"
One after another, complex hand seals, shimmering with light and containing strange Daoist charm, burst forth from his ten fingers, which moved like butterflies, like volcanic lava that had been suppressed for millions of years!
Each flick of the fingertip brings with it a sharp, piercing sound and a dazzling energy trajectory!
"Congeal!"
A deep, resounding decree, as if spoken words were law.
In an instant!
Centered on his suspended footing, the void in front of him seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand of rules, with countless complex and profound law patterns flowing with liquid golden light growing wildly from nothingness, intersecting and weaving!
In an instant, a massive net of laws, covering a radius of a hundred feet and radiating golden light, was formed, appearing almost tangible!
Runes flowed across the vast net, emanating a chilling spatial sealing power!
His expression was solemn as he pointed a finger at the giant golden net that embodied a powerful will of law!
"combine!"
Like a deity cutting pages, the enormous golden net of laws suddenly contracted, condensed, and collapsed inward!
The volume shrinks dramatically, but the density of the laws contained within it increases exponentially!
In the end, it transformed into a strange mark no bigger than a palm, covered with mysterious runes, and flowing with golden light as if it were alive!
The branding marks floated silently in the void, radiating an indomitable will to suppress everything!
"Soul Infusion!"
As soon as Cheng Buzheng had a thought, an extremely strong mental fluctuation suddenly erupted from the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows!
A point of light even more condensed and dazzling than the true fire of the sun—
It contains a crucial trace of his divine essence.
It shot out like an arrow and instantly pierced the core of the golden brand!
"Om...!"
The brand mark trembled violently!
Golden light rippled out like living water, and the originally pure energy form suddenly became more solid, as if it had gained a unique life rhythm. A miniature secret map phantom, which was a miniature of the core area of the entire array, appeared faintly inside the mark!
Its radiance has shifted from outward brilliance to inward profundity and mystery!
"go with!"
Cheng Buzheng's gaze was like a knife, locking onto the very core of the distant sky, which pulsated like the heart of the universe, with dazzling golden light and laws condensed as if they were tangible!
Driven by his will, the secret map imprint containing his will and authority transformed into a golden stream of light that tore through space, shooting towards the core of this world-shaking array at a speed beyond the reach of divine sense!
Cheng Buzheng didn't even have time to glance at the final trajectory of that brand.
His hands were already in place the instant the golden light shot out!
The fingerprints reformed in the blink of an eye!
The movements were faster and more swift than before! There wasn't a single gap!
"Congeal!"
A second sharp shout rang out amidst the surging wind!
Almost in the blink of an eye!
Another giant golden net, woven from even denser and subtly altered patterns of mysterious laws, rapidly intertwined and took shape before him like a blooming golden lotus!
Although both are dazzling and magnificent...
However, if a top-tier array master were present, they would surely be able to perceive the rhythmic patterns and fundamental fluctuations emanating from this net.
It has already resonated with the first web of branding.
But the frequencies they emit are completely different!
