Chapter 148: The Power of the Array Disk
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
Watching the three giant boats getting farther and farther away, the Blood God Sect Master sneered coldly.
“So what if I give you the Blood Sea Array? As long as the main body is freed, the Blood God Sect is dispensable. We can rebuild it if needed.”
No one knew that the Blood God Sect Master was actually a clone of the Blood Demon.
The reconstruction of the Blood God Sect was just to accumulate power and save his main body.
This was because the Blood Demon’s main body had reached the Soul Formation realm. As a clone, his cultivation level could only reach the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Otherwise, he would have sucked the blood of everyone in the sect and achieved a breakthrough to the Soul Formation realm.
It’s almost time, almost there.
The Blood God Sect Master subtly glanced at a few elders and then looked at the disciple who had won first place in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
This disciple was called Wei Qi, the eldest senior brother of Elder Cold Blood’s faction.
“I promised that the one who ranks first in the late Foundation Establishment stage would be rewarded with the Blood Sea Array deployment method. However, this is our sect’s protective formation and it is of great importance.
“Your cultivation is too low, making it easy for others to spy on. To prevent the leakage of the formation and ensure your safety, I will grant you the method after you break through to the Golden Core stage.”
Wei Qi’s expression turned ugly when he heard the Blood God Sect Master’s words. It sounded nice, but in reality, he just didn’t want to give it to him.
How many disciples of the Blood God Sect dared to break through to the Golden Core stage?
Although he felt resentful inside, when faced with the Nascent Soul stage Sect
Master, Wei Qi could only grit his teeth and say, “It’s entirely up to the Sect Master.”
“Then that’s it. The Demon Sect Competition is over.” The Blood God Sect Master did not care about Wei Qi’s emotions at all. After saying that, he turned into a blood light and disappeared.
The few elders did not stay any longer and also turned into blood light and disappeared.
Only Elder Blood River did not leave immediately. Instead, he sent a divine thought to Zhang Chen. “You are not allowed to impart the Blood Sacrifice Technique to others.”
“I definitely won’t teach the Blood Sacrifice Technique to anyone else,” Zhang Chen hurriedly promised respectfully.
Actually, even if Elder Blood River didn’t say anything, Zhang Chen wouldn’t pass on the Blood Sacrifice Technique to anyone else.
“Farewell, Sect Master. Farewell, Elders.” The disciples bowed in unison.
With the departure of Elder Blood River, the disciples no longer had any restraints and began discussing the competition.
As for the late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples, they surrounded Zhang Chen, wanting to inquire about the Blood Sacrifice Technique.
However, Zhang Chen did not give them a chance. He directly turned into a blood light and flew away.
As they watched the blood light recede into the distance, the faces of the onlookers displayed mixed emotions.
In this Demon Path Grand Competition, it could be said that Zhang Chen was the one who obtained tangible benefits.
Even Wei Qi, who ranked first in the late Foundation Establishment stage, only theoretically gained knowledge of the Blood Sea Array’s deployment method.
Therefore, many people were filled with jealousy towards Zhang Chen.
Back in his cave dwelling, Zhang Chen took out the Blood Sea Array Disk he had just obtained.
The Array Disk was a simplified version of the grand array, with only one percent or even lower of its power, but it could be carried around.
Even someone who didn’t understand formations could instantly deploy one by activating the Array Disk.
“With this Array Disk, the secrecy and security of my cave dwelling will greatly improve. At least those below the Golden Core stage won’t be able to approach and detect my cave dwelling.”
Gazing at the Array Disk in his hand, Zhang Chen was enamored with it and couldn’t wait to start cultivating it.
Zhang Chen pointed his finger, and a drop of blood essence flew out.
The drop of refined blood landed on the Array Disk and was immediately absorbed, disappearing without a trace.
The Array Disk, now infused with the refined blood, began to flicker with red light.
In the depths of his consciousness, Zhang Chen sensed a faint connection between himself and the Array Disk.
The next step was to continue cultivating with his divine sense, deepening the connection. Only when he reached the point where a single thought could control the Array Disk would he truly have cultivated it. “Is Junior Brother Zhang here?”
At that moment, a voice came from outside the cave abode.
Knowing that it was someone asking about the Blood Sacrifice Technique,
Zhang Chen ignored them and continued to focus on cultivating the Array Disk. “Junior Brother Zhang, I’m Xiao Zhixiang from the Alchemy lineage. Please come out for a moment.
“Junior Brother Zhang, I’m Guan Yiwen from the Herb Garden lineage. I have an important matter to discuss.”
“Junior Brother Zhang, I’m Chen Shizhang from the Internal Affairs Hall…”
More and more people arrived, including renowned disciples in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, who even stated their names, trying to exert dominance.
Zhang Chen turned a deaf ear and remained behind closed doors. Seeing that Zhang Chen still hadn’t come out, some people even began to threaten him.
“Just at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, winning against the sixth level and thinking highly of yoneself? So many senior brothers have come, yet you refuse to meet us.”
“I believe Junior Brother Zhang knows why we’re here. You can’t grasp such a secret technique. Hand it over if you know what’s good for you, unless you never leave the sect!”
Hearing the threats, Zhang Chen remained unfazed. With his current strength, he could even fight against someone in the early Golden Core stage. He had no fear of these ninth-level Foundation Establishment disciples.
After a moment passed and seeing that Zhang Chen still hadn’t come out, the disciple who had been making threats sneered, “How bold! The day you leave the sect will be the day of your demise!”
Having said that, the person no longer waited and flew away.
Seeing that Zhang Chen still didn’t come out, the others also understood his resolute attitude. Waiting any longer would be meaningless, so they turned and left. Only a few persistent individuals remained.
“It’s done!”
Inside the cave abode, Zhang Chen’s face revealed a delighted expression as he looked at the Array Disk floating in the air, emitting waves of blood light.
“Next, let’s test the power of the Array Disk. It’s a good opportunity to use the few people outside as test subjects.”
Zhang Chen smirked coldly and infused mana into the Array Disk. With a decisive hand gesture, he activated the formation, saying, “Activate the array!
Outside, several Blood God Sect disciples saw the cave dwelling’s door suddenly open and couldn’t help but show joy on their faces.
As they approached, they saw several palm-sized blood-colored flags flying out from it.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh..
The flags scattered in all directions, enveloping the entire mountain peak.
“These seem to be the formation flags on the Array Disk!” Someone recognized the flags and realized the situation was not good.
It appeared that Zhang Chen had activated the Array Disk and set up the Blood
Sea Array, covering the entire mountain peak, including themselves who were still inside the mountain, within the formation.
As the flags landed, a dense blood mist began to diffuse, quickly shrouding more than half of the mountain peak in the blink of an eye.
“Let’s go!” Several disciples transformed into blood light, trying to leave. The blood mist surged and seemed to have consciousness as it blocked their path.
The Blood Sea Formation was the protective formation of their Blood God Sect. Even if the Array Disk had only one percent of its power, they dared not easily challenge it.
Several disciples paused and changed direction.
However, the blood mist surged again, blocking their path once more.
In just a short moment, the blood mist had already enveloped the entire mountain peak. Everything before them turned blood-red, and they couldn’t see their own fingers in front of them.
The Foundation Establishment disciples’ divine senses were suppressed within the blood mist, making it impossible for them to leave their bodies. They couldn’t discern the directions.
It was as if they had encountered a maze, unable to fly out of the range of the mountain peak no matter how they tried.
One disciple angrily questioned, “Zhang Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you intending to attack within the sect?”
“I just wanted a few senior brothers to help test the power of the Array Disk, ” Zhang Chen’s calm voice came from within the blood mist.
He had already tested the entrapment ability, and now it was time to test the offensive power of the formation.
Just as the people trapped in the formation were about to speak, they suddenly found the surrounding blood mist transforming into blood water, engulfing them..
