Chapter 558: Chapter 558, The Blood Gate
Boom!
During a brief moment of distraction from the Mad Saber, the Seven Array King, Bei Mo, had already made it to the edge of the Ancient Battlefield’s entrance, with half of his body within. At that very moment, a terrifying glass-like barrier suddenly descended from the sky, suppressing the Seven Array King, Bei Mo, instantly with immense divine power. No matter how he resisted, it was futile.
The Seven Array King’s face flushed red as powerful qi erupted from his entire body, resembling a bound deity. His movements threatened to destroy the Endless Cosmos, and the terrifying secret technique seemed to want to annihilate everything between heaven and earth.
Boom!
However, despite appearing to be a thin layer, the glass-like barrier was sturdier than any ore known to the world. It remained unmoved regardless of how furiously the Seven Array King, Bei Mo, attacked, standing steadfast as a rock in the wind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The horrifying waves of energy swept in all directions, casting darkness over the heavens and earth. The entire region of Black Dragon Mountain trembled under such a terrifying display of the Secrets of Life and Death.
In midair, Martial Artists and Demon Beasts beneath the Guiyuan Realm were already lying paralyzed on the ground, struggling despondently to make the slightest move. Even those in the Realm of Transcendence found no ease; their faces turned ashen, their bodies, frozen, seemingly opposing the very heavens and earth.
The only ones unperturbed were the Sword Mad King and the Dark Heaven-Devouring Python.
"Sigh, the Life and Death Palace has finally taken action."
The Sword Mad King shook his head, easily recognizing that the glass-like barrier was the technique of an emperor-level figure from the Life and Death Palace. Yet, the exact identity of the powerful entity remained beyond his guess.
"I hate this!!"
The Seven Array King’s black hair whipped wildly as his eyes turned crimson. The terrifying Secrets of Slaughter and the Secrets of Darkness tore crazily at the space. The region around the Black Dragon Mountains teetered on the brink of shattering, save for the space surrounding the Seven Array King which remained intact.
Boom!
A horrific, faint golden projection burst from above the Seven Array King’s head, merging black and blood colors, causing the surrounding space to distort madly. The solemn image granted the Seven Array King an unbounded, divine aura.
"He’s going to fight with his life on the line."
The Sword Mad King did not intervene, his gaze filled with dread as he watched the Seven Array King. At this moment, with the invocation of his Life and Death Dharma Aspect, he stood ready for battle at full strength.
Boom!
A dark war sword appeared in the hands of the Seven Array King, exuding a chilling aura. A dazzling sword light flashed, with the sword aura charging toward the sky and crashing against the glass-like barrier. Yet, the barrier remained unmoved.
A surge of greater anger consumed the Seven Array King, his mind hesitated slightly before three droplets of vital blood emerged from his chest. These drops of blood, vivid and full of vitality, drew all eyes of the human and beast warriors in Black Dragon Mountain, radiating a scorching allure.
These three drops of vital blood were the Seven Array King’s destined blood. One drop could boost anyone’s power significantly, guaranteeing ascension to the peak of the Realm of Transcendence, if not the Life and Death Realm.
With the release of the three blood droplets, the Seven Array King’s spirit became considerably drained, his face turning pale.
Boom!
The sky churned with a scarlet storm, engulfing the whole of Black Dragon Mountain under its divine might, shaking in fear.
"Sacrifice the vital blood, form the Blood Door!"
The Seven Array King let out a long howl, the three vital blood droplets shattered violently in everyone’s eyes, engulfing the surroundings in blood-red light to form a giant blood door.
Splosh!
The merging of blood and the glass-like barrier caused ripples, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds. The glass-like barrier swiftly began to weaken under the blood’s assault.
Boom!
A blood door sprang up, breaking through the glass barrier, leaving the Seven Array King visibly weakened, as if he had suffered severe injuries.
...
In the sky above the Ancient Battlefield, the blood door appeared explosively. Although only human-sized, it was like a blood-red sun, radiating scorching light upon emergence.
The entire Ancient Battlefield, whether great human warriors or Demon Beasts, turned pale instantly. The energy emanating from this blood door was utterly fearsome.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of dreadful rumbles burst from behind the blood door, the sound spread across the Ancient Battlefield, shaking every soul.
It was as if a divine entity was pounding from the other side, trying to break through.
The Ancient Battlefield descended into chaos in an instant.
"Could it be a powerful entity from the Blood Cloud Palace arriving?"
On a mountain peak within the Ancient Battlefield, Chu Ming’s face changed dramatically. The blood skull imprint deep in his mind was transforming, with its burning aura growing stronger.
"A top-tier king seems to be trying to enter, but something went wrong, and someone intercepted them."
From within his dantian, the Ancient Sword Emperor spoke slowly, confirming Chu Ming’s suspicions.
Boom! Boom!
Upon the emergence of the blood door, countless turbulent clouds of calamity appeared in the sky above the Ancient Battlefield, with wild thunderbolts surging within.
Crackle!
In a single leap, a massive heavenly thunderbolt struck the blood door, shattering layers of space, clearly attempting to prevent the door’s appearance.
Boom!
The calamity clouds became increasingly terrifying, resembling a roaring sea of thunder with invincible thunderbolts crashing down, shattering the heavens.
The blood door’s light dimmed instantly, with the massive force of the thunder tribulation overshadowing all other energies around it.
"Humph!"
A sudden cold snort came from the blood door.
The crowd watched in amazement as the closed blood door slowly revealed a crack, releasing a fearful divine might.
Boom!
It felt as if a deity neared; the terrifying divine force exploded from the blood door, sweeping in all directions.
The calamity clouds vanished from the sky, leaving no energy within that could approach except for the overwhelming divine force.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
Meanwhile, footsteps echoed from behind the blood door, resonating terrifyingly with the world, each step striking everyone’s soul.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A dreadful spiritual sensation swept across the battlefield. Martial Artists and Demon Beasts within its range turned pale and spat blood as they were blown backward.
Chu Ming, also caught within its range, felt the blood skull emblem burst from deep within his mind, materializing into a blood-red form, floating above his head.
"This is bad!"
