The large flag fluttered in the wind, and in the sixty-four formation eyes, the cultivator holding the Array Flag also summoned the flag power according to the method Black Crow Divine Monarch had taught, resonating with it.
Buzz…
A tremor came from the depths of the soul, and the entire world seemed to tremble as a dark red blood mist spread out from the ground, quickly enveloping the entire mountain valley.
They had seen the strangeness of this blood mist before, when a few cultivators fell into it, they were quickly reduced to nothing, so when this blood mist appeared again, everyone’s faces went cold and their scalps went numb.
Black Crow Divine Monarch shouted in a low voice, “All of you better keep your spirits up, if anyone dares to slack off, don’t blame this Monarch for being ruthless!”
Although everyone felt uneasy, they remembered Black Crow Divine Monarch’s terrifying methods and could only brace themselves and continue to cooperate with him.
Fortunately, although the blood mist had spread out, this time it only lingered around the valley, flowing beside everyone.
Soon, under the influence of the array flags, the blood mist began to wriggle like a living creature, gradually forming a great array in the mountain valley!
A faint outline suddenly appeared in the void. This outline was only the tip of an iceberg, but it seemed to be part of a massive palace.
All the cultivators who saw this outline were shocked. Only now did they realize that Black Crow Divine Monarch was not lying to them. The legendary Blood Demon Divine Monarch was really hidden here, but it was usually protected by a restriction, so the door was not visible. If it weren’t for Black Crow Divine Monarch’s guidance, even if someone came here, they would not be able to see the slightest mystery and would miss the opportunity to enter.
Yang Kai stood on the mountaintop and stared at the outline, becoming more certain that when Blood Monster Divine Monarch was alive, he had no intention of passing down his legacy. Everything here was not something that an Emperor Realm cultivator could be involved in. If it weren’t for Black Crow Divine Monarch’s reincarnation, Blood Monster Divine Palace would never have been discovered.
The blood mist continued to ripple across the mountain valley, constantly climbing up the outline of the palace. As time passed, more of the outline became visible, becoming more solid.
Beside Yang Kai, Qu Huachang, Zhang Ruoxi, Lin Feng, Ning Daoran, Wei Buque, Ding Yi, Chef, Accountant, and Lang Qingshan were all ready to attack.
However, after waiting for a long time, there were no signs of a Seventh Order Monster Beast appearing.
Ding Yi scratched his head and chuckled, “Did Black Crow Divine Monarch make a mistake? How could there be a Seventh Order Monster Beast sleeping here? With such a big commotion, if there really was a Monster Beast here, it would have been alarmed long ago.”
Wei Buque grinned and said, “It’s best if that's the case, we’ll just wait for them to get busy. Once the Blood Monster Divine Palace opens, we’ll go in and snatch the treasures.”
Ding Yi wore an expression as if he had found a confidant and looked towards Wei Buque eagerly, “I have the same idea.”
“Be careful!” Yang Kai suddenly shouted. Although he hadn’t seen any Seventh Order Monster Beast, Black Crow Divine Monarch’s solemn attitude clearly indicated that there was a reason for this. There was a ninety percent chance that there really was a Seventh Order Monster Beast sleeping here.
While Ding Yi and Wei Buque were talking, a faint trace of Monster Qi suddenly spread out. In just a short moment, this Monster Qi became several dozen times stronger.
The purity of this Monster Qi was indescribable, even the Golden Baboon King couldn’t compare to it.
Without a doubt, the Seventh Order Mosnter Beasts sleeping here were alarmed.
Everyone’s expressions became serious, and Ding Yi and Wei Buque, who were chatting and laughing, couldn’t help twitching their lips, realizing that the two of them really had a jinx in their mouths. They had only just started talking when this Monster Beast suddenly appeared.
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn as he spread out his Divine Sense to monitor his surroundings. He wanted to know where this Monster Beast would appear from, but at this moment, there was no trace of it at all. Just the Monster Qi emanating from it was enough to instill a sense of fear in others, so one could only imagine how terrifying a Seventh Order Monster Beast was.
A moment later, Yang Kai looked down and said, “From the ground!”
The only possibility was that it had come down from the ground, because the situation in the valley was clear. But there were no traces of Monster Beasts.
As soon as his voice fell, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the earth, followed by a series of earth-shaking tremors, as if a giant monster was crawling out from the ground.
At a certain moment, with a sound similar to a cow’s moo, a giant head suddenly broke out from the ground and opened its bloody mouth, swallowing up all of the people standing nearby.
Of the sixty-four formation eyes, one was instantly missing.
However, when Black Crow Divine Monarch set up this Great Array, he had obviously thought of this layer, so even though there was one less formation eye, it did not affect the operation of the Great Array at all. The blood mist continued to climb towards the Blood Monster Divine Palace, causing it to become more solid, as if it was about to emerge from the void.
Boom boom boom…
The Monster Beast broke out from the ground and a huge hole appeared on the ground. Its massive body was like a small mountain, and the thick scales on its body were a natural and powerful defense. A bloody mist lingered around its body, unable to corrode it in the slightest.
At this moment, Yang Kai, who had been paying close attention to this Monster Beast, finally saw what it was.
This was a Star Turtle, twenty zhang long and forty or fifty zhang tall, its entire body covered in a dazzling earth yellow light.
Yang Kai was both disappointed and relieved, “Earth Element Monster Beast!”
What was disappointing was that this Monster Beast was not the Gold or Yin Element he needed, but Earth Element. He had already condensed his Earth Element’s power from the Dragon Bead of Big Dragon, so even if he killed this Star Turtle, it wouldn’t be of much benefit. He was relieved because it's a Monster Beast of Earth Element.
Earth Element mainly focused on defense, and although the Earth Element beast's defense was a tough nut to crack, judging from the Star Turtle’s stance, it shouldn’t be good at attacking, so the danger on their side was much lower.
What’s more, this Star Turtle had been sleeping for many years. Now that it had been disturbed and awakened from its slumber, it still felt somewhat dazed.
It rolled its eyes indifferently, sleepy.
The cultivators acting as formation eye closest to it were all trembling in fear. They had personally seen this Star Turtle swallow a group of cultivators as soon as it appeared, so they were naturally afraid it would turn around and attack them. Although it seemed to be in a daze, if they really fought, no one present would be its opponent. This thing focused on defense, so it was likely no one could injure it.
A cultivator from an unknown force swallowed his saliva and subconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to hide behind the others and seek a sense of security.
Unexpectedly, as he retreated, he fell into the blood mist.
A piercing sound rang out as the man cried out in pain. The blood mist covered his entire body like a snake and after the blood mist dissipated, he had become a dried corpse.
Black Crow Divine Monarch, who was waving the flag in his hand, coldly snorted, “All of you stand there obediently, whoever dares to move will die!”
Everyone’s mouths were filled with bitterness. Only now did they realize that they had boarded a pirate ship. Within the range of this Great Array, other than the various formation core which were relatively safe, the rest of the area was filled with a bloody mist. In other words, after Black Crow Divine Monarch’s Great Array was activated, everyone could only stand on the side of the formation eye. Once they exceeded this safe zone, they would face the risk of death.
Seeing this, Yang Kai was overjoyed. He had thought that he and the others had taken on a difficult task, but now it seemed that compared to the lives of others, facing the Star Turtle was undoubtedly much better.
He couldn’t help glancing over at Yin Xinzhao, secretly hoping that the Star Turtle would kill him. Coincidentally, Yin Xinzhao also looked over and exchanged a glance with him. Yin Xinzhao immediately saw through Yang Kai’s intentions and shouted angrily, “Yang Kai, why aren’t you attacking?”
The formation eye he was in charge of wasn’t too far from the position of the Star Turtle, making him feel quite uneasy.
Yang Kai calmly replied, “No rush, no rush!”
Yin Xinzhao was about to vomit blood. Thinking 'You’re not in a hurry, but I’m about to die from anxiety.' He didn’t expect that after the Great Array was activated, it would be like this. If he had known this would happen, he would have swapped places with Yang Kai no matter what. At the very least, he would have been able to gain some initiative, but now that he couldn’t move, his life and death depended on fate. It was truly uncomfortable.
“It’s time for you to act,” Black Crow Divine Monarch’s voice rang out, “This beast has been asleep for many years and has just awoken, so its strength has yet to recover. Now is the best time to act against it, it’s best if you can seriously injure it, otherwise, once it recovers, it will become even harder to deal with.”
How difficult would it be to seriously injure a Seventh Order Monster Beast that focused on defense? Yang Kai didn’t know if everyone on his side could accomplish this, but Black Crow Divine Monarch was right, this was the Star Turtle’s weakest moment!
Thinking so, Yang Kai nodded and said, “Since Divine Monarch says so, this kid will naturally obey!”
Saying so, he shouted, “Attack!”
With a wave of his hands, the Space Laws surged and a giant moon blade formed, tearing through the void and slashing towards the Star Turtle.
The people around him all used their Secret Techniques to cover the Star Turtle’s massive figure in a flash.
The people who had gathered around Yang Kai were also a mix of good and bad. For example, many of Emperor Heaven's people weren’t very strong, but they weren’t lacking in masters like Qu Huachang, Ning Daoran, and the others. These elite core disciples who came from the various Cave Heaven or Paradise all had extraordinary moves and sharp killing moves.
Boom boom boom…
A series of deafening explosions rang out as halos of light exploded in all directions.
When the light finally dissipated, everyone’s jaws dropped.
Although they had long known that this Star Turtle focused on defense, they hadn’t expected its defense to be so terrifying. The fierce attack just now hadn’t even broken the layer of the yellow light around its body, much less caused any damage to it.
Wei Buque grinned, “This beast is really tough!”
Yang Kai shouted, “Again!”
After another round of attacks, no one held back.
Originally, when it came to dealing with the power of the Earth Element, it was best to use the Wood Attribute. Among the five elements, the Wood Element restrains the Earth Element. However, the power of the Wood Element was generally focused on healing power, and very few people could comprehend an offensive Divine Ability from the Wood Element.
