Alchemy Emperor Of The Divine Dao

Chapter 2544: Destroying a formation eye

But the battle situation was tense now, so the Imperial Void Celestial King did not give it much thought. He merely charged forwards strongly.

This was a small world that was created with the majestic might of a Celestial King, but the area it covered was not the slightest bit small. They traveled for three days, and still had not reached the end.

Judging by the situation of the skies, the whole small world was like a cake that had been cut into nine slices. It was large on the outside, but small on the inside, and the nine areas were gathered in one place. And the group were advancing towards this central area.

“There are still about two day left to travel,” everyone said, panting.

Though the end was within sight, the light figures were really too numerous, so every step forwards for them had to be taken through endless slaughter, and their speed naturally slowed down to the extreme.

They did not say anything to cheer themselves on. If Celestial Kings and supreme monarch stars did not even have this little bit of determination, what right would they have to walk to this step? And how could they talk of becoming a Heavenly Venerate?

Every single one of them was gritting their teeth as they forged on. Two days later, they had finally charged to the end of this area, the center of this whole world.

There was a stone tablet here, and was covered with complex veined patterns.

“We rub our blood on it, and it can unravel this formation,” Liu Yufei said.

They slit open a finger each, and rubbed their blood on the tablet.

The stone tablet became brighter and brighter, and when lastly the Empress also rubbed blood on it, an incredibly brilliant pillar of light instantly burst into the skies.

And at the same moment, all the light figures disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Everyone sighed in relief. With the continuous battle, they were all filled with weariness.

They all sat down for a rest, trying to recover to their prime condition as quickly as possible.

Though the Imperial Void Celestial King was the vanguard, Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings were too strong. He and the large black dog were the first to recover. Then, he took out the Ancient Bell of Qian, and studied it endlessly.

His expression changed drastically. That was because the Ancient Bell of Qian seemed to have sustained ma.s.sive damage. He could clearly feel that the might of the Divine Metal was no longer as majestic as before.

‘What’s going on?’

A thought came to the Imperial Void Celestial King, and he suddenly set his eyes on Ling Han.

He instinctively thought that this had to be linked to Ling Han because the Celestial Tool that the latter possessed was forged from Devouring Metal.

He immediately stood up, and shouted at Ling Han, “Was it you!”

Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings would do as they willed, and there was no need for any reservations.

Ling Han dug a finger in his ear, and ignored him.

“Imperial Void, this is Grandpa Dog’s little brother. You can talk to Grandpa Dog about anything.” The large black dog immediately jumped out. At this time, only he could stand against the Imperial Void Celestial King.

The Imperial Void Celestial King instinctively wanted to flip out, yet suddenly suppressed his anger.

The priority now was to obtain the United Origin Manifestation Fruit. If he could become a Heavenly Venerate, everything else could be given up.

Though it was still uncertain, they were sure that the remaining eight areas would need everyone’s fresh blood to activate the stone tablet.

Hence, this was not the time to become hostile.

Being able to become a Ninth Heaven Celestial King, the Imperial Void Celestial King naturally had no lack of patience.

He sat back down, appearing very calm, relaxed, and completely unconcerned.

“Can we directly go to the next area from here?”

If they walked from here, the end of the two areas next to them were only 5 km away, which was extremely near.

They were just about to walk to either side, but they had not walked too far when they saw the light from the stone tablet suddenly dim, and the light figures reappeared.

‘Huh?’

They took a few steps backwards, and the stone tablet lit up again. The light figures disappeared once more.

This… Could it be that they could not leave?

But if they did not leave, how were they supposed to activate the formation eyes of the other eight areas?

Everyone looked towards Liu Yufei.

Liu Yufei said, “Every stone tablet needs a living person to stand guard, and maintain its power. And we cannot take any shortcuts. With what the Celestial King He Feng has laid out, we have to circle in from outside.”

This power naturally was not absolutely effective. It was certain that a Heavenly Venerate would definitely be able to break through this power, but was there any need for a Heavenly Venerate to come here?

There weren’t any Heavenly Venerates among them. Thus, they had to leave one of their group here.

Who then?

“I need to act as guide, and the two Ninth Heaven Seniors are responsible for opening the path ahead. Thus, the three of us have to walk to the end,” Liu Yufei continued.

“I’ll stay behind,” Liu Hao said.

When the nine formation eyes were all activated, the doors that would lead directly to the center would open, and it was there that the United Origin Manifestation Fruit, as well as the insights of cultivation that belonged to Celestial King He Feng, were located. Thus, staying here was not a loss. Moreover, he would be able to preserve his strength.
