Chapter 267: The Demon Emperor who is good at a formation
When Wang Nan first met Nangong Wan, he heard him say that the Holy Spirit Church enshrined a soul beast in Dongyang City, and the strength of this soul beast was even greater than that of their leader.
If what he said was true, this soul beast at least had the strength of a human Ultimate Douluo. And Wang Nan happened to have encountered a soul beast of this strength before, and it was also in the sea near Dongyang City.
Taking this opportunity to come to Dongyang City, Wang Nan confirmed his guess. The breath of this soul beast was already emanating from the ground, and it was exactly the same as the one he encountered in the ocean.
When Xuanji Douluo and Xingyun Douluo sensed the fluctuations of the battle outside Dongyang City, they had already flown towards the fighting location. However, before they arrived, they saw the entire Dongyang City shaking.
The dirt, rocks and dust on the buildings in the city fell down one after another. Even with the support of soul guides, some buildings could not withstand the shaking. The walls cracked, the roofs collapsed, and a rumbling sound continued to be heard from the ground.
The water in the wells and pipes seemed to be boiling, surging and turbulent. The underground sewers and dungeons had been flooded by sea water. The people who remained inside were instantly immersed in the sea water, struggling helplessly.
However, even though such a big change happened outside, the people in the city were still immersed in their sleep, but the expressions on their faces were extremely hideous, as if they were in great pain.
Only the soul masters who were still on duty on the city walls looked towards the ocean in panic, wondering if the soul beasts in the sea had launched another attack.
In a building underground in the north of Dongyang City, a man in a black robe was bowing over an altar. "Sir, there is still some time before we take action. Why are you taking action now?"
"No matter how many ordinary sacrifices there are, they can never compare to a soul master. Many people have come tonight, so it is time to take action."
"Sir, this is what we agreed upon—"
"Noisy!"
Even though the black-robed man possessed the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, he still felt his entire body go numb after being scolded, and his hands and feet became uncontrollable.
"When is it your turn to interfere with my actions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, cracks appeared on the walls around where the man in black was, and sea water surged in.
The ground outside Dongyang City cracked into pieces, and in those cracks, red and purple light rose up. For a moment, the entire Dongyang City, dozens of nearby villages, and the vast sea area to the north of Dongyang City were all shrouded in these two colors of light.
"What happened?" Giant Hammer Douluo looked around with a serious face. In the red and purple light, he also felt a palpitation.
"Mother!" The black-robed man who had brought out the God-conferring Douluo earlier exclaimed, and his figure flashed and merged into the sea, disappearing.
"Teacher, what is this?"
In the sea of spirituality, Huo Yuhao has already called upon Alex.
"This is a formation, and it is a blood sacrifice formation."
“What?” Even with Huo Yuhao’s mental strength, his expression changed. “Such a large blood sacrifice formation?”
"That's right." Alex's voice sounded, "Although most of the array patterns are under the ground and I can't see them clearly, this array undoubtedly gathers the power of all the lives in the array together. As for the purpose, I can't guess it until I see the complete array."
"The blood sacrifice formation does seem like an evil spirit master's method."
Huo Yuhao’s mental power surged out without regard for consumption, but the boundary of the entire blood sacrifice formation was still beyond the range of his mental detection.
"Teacher, can you break this formation?"
"I also have some understanding of the formation. As long as I find all the points of the formation, I can try one or two."
Huo Yuhao finished communicating with Alex in the sea of spirituality. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shattered Star and Giant Hammer in front of him. "Two seniors, this is the blood sacrifice formation set up by the Holy Spirit Church."
"(Xingluo swears), they are treating us as sacrifices." Giant Hammer Douluo touched the back of his head, "What should we do now, should we just fight back?"
"Two seniors, I can try to break the formation, but I need your help."
“Since we are in the Sun-Moon Empire, don’t we have a way to escape directly?” Giant Hammer Douluo was speaking when he suddenly saw Huo Yuhao’s determined gaze. After a moment’s pause, he nodded, “Okay, let’s do as you say.”
"Wait." The Conferred God Douluo standing next to him was a Titled Douluo after all. His expression improved a lot after his shackles were removed. He staggered into the air and said, "I can also lend a hand to you guys."
……
In the deep sea, countless soul beasts of strange shapes are meditating. Their upper bodies are no different from humans, with long blue hair fluttering in the sea water, and their lower bodies are huge fish tails, gently swaying with the water flow.
One of the mermaid soul beasts wore a golden crown, and the golden scales on her body indicated her identity as a sea princess.
The sea princess who was practicing suddenly opened her eyes, and in front of her was a familiar translucent figure.
"Mother."
When the Sea Princess heard this, two tears flowed from her eyes. After the tears came into contact with the sea water, they quickly turned into golden pearls.
"My child, why are you here?"
"Mother, I have escaped from the control of that human spirit master. Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Please take our people away from here as soon as possible."
"No, my child, although you have returned, our anger towards humans will not stop. They must pay the price."
"Mother, the soul beast that led you to attack humans has already reached an agreement with humans. If you continue to stay here, you will only become its food."
"What did you say?"
The Sea Princess' voice suddenly rose, startling many mermaid soul beasts around her and they all looked over here.
However, before the translucent mermaid figure could explain, the water in the deep sea suddenly churned.
The Sea Princess was extremely sensitive to changes in the ocean. At this moment, the ocean that she had always been familiar with was becoming extremely ferocious.
"My child, mother shouldn't have doubted you."
The Sea Princess made the decision in an instant without saying a word. Her mental power spread out in the surroundings, and other mermaid soul beasts around her woke up one after another.
The Sea Princess swung her golden tail and her figure had already come to the surface of the sea. As her tribesmen continued to retreat, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of Dongyang City.
It was this one glance that made her see a huge golden figure that stretched from the sky to the earth standing in mid-air.
The golden stick in the figure's hand was huge, one end was held between his hands, and the other end was inserted into the ground.
The long stick fell, and a sharp, angry whistle rose into the sky.
