Chapter 870 The Blood Ancestor Flees
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Inside the Four Symbols Arrow Array, arrow intents condensed from the void, turning into beams of different colors - red, blue, black, and white - flickering with radiance. They merged in the void, forming a four-colored arrow light.
Numerous battle arrows condensed from arrow intents appeared above the arrow array. Once formed into shape, they shot toward the Blood Demon Ancestor in a split second.
"Not good!"
As the deadly barrage of arrow intents closed in on the Blood Demon Ancestor, a burst of crimson light exploded around him, forming a swirl of blood-colored mist that completely enveloped his body.
This was a magical treasure crafted by the Blood Demon Ancestor called the Blood Cloud Light Shield. Once activated, it could transform into a blood cloud that shielded the body, rendering any magical power and spell ineffective. It could absorb and neutralize them, as though ensnared in an inescapable quagmire. The mythical treasure possessed impenetrable defenses, flawless in its protection.
The arrows of the battle array pounded against the blood cloud like tidal waves. The blood cloud, which had an impeccable defense, was pierced through by the ferocious arrow intents. Its gentle yet corrosive power was instantly ripped apart by the overwhelming force of the arrows as if each one possessed the ability to rend the heavens.
Each arrow intent unleashed by the arrow array was no less inferior to those shot by Li Xiang himself. They were even more violent. Enhanced by the Four Symbols Arrow Array, every intent contained the power of the four mythical beasts, manifesting four distinct forces.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
The blood cloud was unable to block the onslaught of battle arrows, which rapidly blasted against it, piercing through and appearing before the eyes of the Blood Demon Ancestor. However, at this critical moment, a burst of crimson light suddenly erupted from the blood altar beneath the Blood Demon Ancestor, enveloping his entire body.
It was unclear what exactly this blood altar was, but the arrow intent of the Four Mythical Beasts was directly shattered by the crimson light.
Pfft!
However, it seemed that activating the blood altar came at a cost. The Blood Demon Ancestor spewed a mouthful of bloodied mist, and the light around him became unstable.
"Li Xiang, you can't kill me!"
The Blood Demon Ancestor bellowed in anger, and his body turned into a beam of crimson light, breaking through the barrier of the blood altar and disappearing from sight.
Talent - Blood Escape!
Using the magical power of Blood Escape would exact a heavy toll on one's blood essence which was extremely precious. Each use irreversibly depletes the reserve of blood essence, posing grave risks to one's foundation. Replenishing it was excruciatingly difficult. Nevertheless, the power of Blood Escape was unparalleled, allowing one to swiftly transform into a streak of crimson light and escape for thousands or even tens of thousands of miles in an instant, making it an incredible ability despite the consequences.
Furthermore, the transformation into crimson light was virtually unstoppable and as fast as lightning. This was a true life-saving magical power that was rarely used unless absolutely necessary, when one's life was on the line and there were no other options.
The Blood Demon Ancestor did not hesitate to burn his own blood essence, swiftly breaking free from the blockade of the Four Symbols Arrow Array. The protection from the blood altar allowed him to escape unhindered while utilizing the power of Blood Escape.
However, just as the Blood Demon Ancestor broke through and tried to escape in a flash of crimson light, a massive figure suddenly blocked his path.
The Golden Behemoth King!
Talent - Berserk!
Talent - Golden Sacred Flame!
The magical power of Berserk rapidly amplified the combat power by several folds. At the same time, a layer of golden flames rose from his body. These were no ordinary flames, but battle flames, condensed from the battle intent, indestructible, and capable of reducing everything to ashes.
The stronger the battle intent, the more aggressive the flames.
Combat skill - Sky-Splitting Claw!
The golden claw, ablaze with flames of gold, struck down with a mighty swipe.
"How dare you sow discord! How dare you capture my son! How dare you plot against me in secret! You shall die!"
A look of savagery crossed his face as the Behemoth King slammed his massive claws against the crimson light.
Boom!
In a flash, the crimson light was blasted apart into countless tiny specks that scattered in all directions, emitting a shrill scream.
Fragments of the crimson light condensed together at an astonishing speed, reforming into a ray of crimson barrier.
The light was much dimmer than before, engulfed in a layer of golden, looking abnormally peculiar.
From the screams, it was obvious that Blood Demon Ancestor had been severely injured by this attack.
Riding on the crimson light, the Blood Demon Ancestor was desperate to disappear, unwilling to waste another moment here.
"You thought you could easily leave after scheming against the Kingdom of Dawn? Dream on. You shall pay with your life!" Li Xiang sneered. With a swift motion, a flash of light emanated from his palm as he wielded the Tower of Stars. He hurled it towards the distant crimson light, determined to put an end to the threat once and for all.
Boom!
Housing twelve small worlds within its space, the Tower of Stars was a force of exceptional terror. It possessed numerous sky-opening divine weapons, incomparable in power.
Even if the true extent of the divine weapons had not been fully revealed, the sheer might of the tower alone was enough to suppress everything.
The Qi dynamics exuded from it caused even the Behemoth King's heart to skip a beat, filling him with a strong sense of unease. He felt a deadly threat from the tower.
However, the moment the Tower of Stars crashed into the crimson light, the blood altar reemerged. An ancient sacrificial chant seemed to reverberate from the distant past, evoking an extraordinary sense of divinity.
A brilliant explosion of crimson light shattered the Tower of Stars in an instant.
"Ah..."
"I will take my revenge! Darn it, I've suffered a big loss. If only I hadn't listened to that..."
The sudden surge of power from the blood altar elicited a pitiful scream from the Blood Demon Ancestor. The crimson light dimmed as if it could flicker out at any moment. The cost of activating the blood altar was apparent.
The moment the Tower of Stars collapsed, the crimson light vanished into the void without a trace.
"What is that altar? Even the Tower of Stars could not suppress it. The altar seems to contain an immeasurable supreme power."
Li Xiang furrowed his brow as he retrieved the tower.
He had come across many altars in his past, such as the God of Demon Altar of the Scorpion race, whose demon god remained unknown to him. There were also altars that granted rewards through sacrifices, as well as altars obtained from the Giant Demon race.
The altar could grant rewards after being offered sacrifices, seemingly to be an offering to the heavens, but no one knew whether it was true or not.
The fundamental purpose of the altars was to offer sacrifices.
However, there appeared to be a multitude of altars with different types and quantities, apart from this blood altar of the Blood Demon race.
