"This Blood-refining Formation refines the essence of a person's flesh and blood into Soul-devouring Force, and only people who cultivate the Empyrean Demon Arts can absorb it. The souls of the fighters on the Tian Yuan Continent, including the Holy Emperor, will be corroded and dispersed when they come in contact with the Soul-devouring Force. Yet, there's actually a complete Blood-refining Formation in the Death Nest. Just who cast it down here? Was it the Holy Emperor who obtained Amagami in the past? "Houston's mind raced as he was filled with doubt.
"That's not right. Rumor has it that in ancient times, the number one expert of the human race, Mo Tian Yun, collected a large number of corpses and buried them here. He single-handedly created the Death Nest. Could it be that this Blood Refining Great Formation was set up by Mo Tian Yun back then? Has he obtained a cultivation method from the Empyrean Demon Orb and practised the Empyrean Demon Arts? Is that why he only has the Blood-refining Formation recorded in the Empyrean Demon Orb, using the flesh and essence of the fallen experts to refine Soul-devouring Force for his own cultivation? " Houston sank into his thoughts, but he soon shook his head, "That's impossible. According to what I know, the energy Mo Tianyun uses is not Soul-devouring Force at all. He doesn't cultivate the Empyrean Demon Arts at all. The Soul-devouring Force is only harmful to him."
Suddenly, Houston became surprised once again. He cried out, "There seems to be another formation hidden in the Blood-refining Formation." Houston began to study it carefully. All his knowledge of formations came from Amagami. If it were not for Amagami, he would not have been able to discover the hidden formation even if he was a Holy Emperor.
A while later, Houston sucked in a deep breath. He had already recognized the other formation hidden in the Blood-refining Formation. It was also one of the many formations recorded in Amagami. It was called the Empyrean Demon Illusion. It was an extremely profound illusion formation.
A total of two formations recorded in Amagami had appeared in the Death Nest, which made it difficult for Houston to remain calm.
At this moment, the Death Nest began to shake violently once again. A large swathe of red mist that was as viscous as blood surged over from the front. Houston's face changed when he saw the red mist. The red mist was the Soul-eater Force cultivated by the Heavenly Demon Technique. Furthermore, the Soul-eater Force was many times stronger than the Soul-eater Force he cultivated.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Muffled sounds came from the red mist. With each sound, the entire Death Nest would shake. A hundred-meter-tall blood-red skeleton was faintly discernible in the red mist. Powerful Soul-devouring Force constantly radiated from every single one of its bones.
Moreover, this blood-red skeleton also had a powerful aura that caused the world to tremble.
"It's a blood thrall. A powerful blood thrall that has surpassed the Holy Emperor's level of cultivation!" Houston cried out as he stared fixedly at the blood-red skeleton. Disbelief filled his face. At this moment, Houston suddenly thought of all the information he had obtained from Amagami regarding blood thralls.
Blood thralls were created from countless corpses using the Empyrean Demon Secret Technique before being nurtured from evil blood and essence. The strength of a blood thrall depended on the age of its existence, as well as the corpses, evil blood, and essence needed to create a blood thrall.
Blood thralls were the slaves of cultivators of the Empyrean Demon Arts. The Empyrean Demon Secret Technique contained the secret technique to enslave blood thralls, so they would never betray their master. Enslaved blood thralls would completely obey their master's orders, so they could be used to assist in battle. At the same time, they could absorb the Soul-devouring Force from the blood thralls to cultivate and strengthen themselves.
The blood-red skeleton did not attack Houston. It just stood there quietly in a daze. The two empty eyes on its skull were looking in Houston's direction. It had already sensed that there was an outsider here, but this outsider actually possessed a power of the same origin as it, so it did not attack Houston.
Houston's expression became incomparably solemn. Blood thralls were not naturally formed. Now that such a powerful blood thrall had appeared here, he did not need to think to know that someone had done it on purpose. Moreover, this person also knew various secret techniques of the Empyrean Demon Arts.
However, what made him rejoice was that blood thralls would not attack cultivators of the Empyrean Demon Arts without their master's orders. Otherwise, when faced with such a powerful blood thrall, even if he was an expert of the Holy Emperor's level, he could only run for his life. Moreover, he might not even be able to escape.
Houston stared at the blood thrall and sized it up for a while. Then, his expression froze, and a hint of wild joy appeared on his face. He said excitedly, "This … this is actually a blood thrall that hasn't recognized a master." Houston's eyes burned with passion. Without any hesitation, he immediately began to form the blood thrall imprint. The blood thrall imprint was one of the secret techniques he had obtained from the Amagami. It was specifically used to enslave blood thralls.
After a few breaths, Houston had completed the imprint. With a wave of his hand, it shot out like lightning, accurately landing between the blood-red skeleton's brows and disappearing. After waiting for a while, the blood thrall did not change at all. The scene of enslaving a blood thrall recorded in the Amagami did not appear.
Seeing this, disappointment appeared in Houston's eyes. He sighed softly and said, "My strength is too low. I'm still unable to subdue a blood thrall that surpasses the Holy Emperor's level. Looks like I can only subdue it in the future. I just don't know who left such a powerful blood thrall here and didn't care about it."
Houston no longer paid any attention to the blood thrall. It would not attack cultivators of the Empyrean Demon Arts anyway, so it would not affect him if he let it stay there.
Houston's gaze returned to the illusory formation hidden within the Blood-refining Formation. This illusory formation was extremely powerful. With just Houston's current strength, he was unable to set it up or break it open. However, he knew the method to enter the formation.
After a moment of hesitation, Houston still entered the illusory formation. He then used the method he had learned from the Amagami to travel through the formation.
Houston was extremely cautious. Every step he took would be compared repeatedly, and only after confirming that there were no mistakes would he step down. He knew that if he took a wrong step, he would be trapped in the formation. It would be very difficult for him to escape.
After taking several hundred steps, Huston finally passed through the illusion array. At this moment, he felt the space around him ripple slightly. Soon after, his line of sight suddenly changed. He had already arrived in an underground cavern in a muddle-headed state.
It was a circular cavern that was around thirty meters in diameter. The entire cavern was filled with dense Soul-devouring Force. There was a two-meter-long, square pool in the center of the cavern. The pool was filled with a blood-red liquid, which seemed like blood.
When Houston's gaze landed on the pool filled with blood-red liquid, his expression immediately became incomparably excited. His heart couldn't help but beat violently. He recognized what it was with a single glance. It was the materialization of energy. It was highly condensed God-devourer power that had already turned into a liquid.
"I understand now. All the Soul-devouring Force refined by the Blood-refining Formation is actually stored here. The Death Nest is basically a cultivation paradise for people who practice the Empyrean Demon Arts. Although I still can't be certain who created this place, the Soul-devouring Force is already so dense here. Coupled with the fact that the blood thralls have not been able to hold back, the expert who created this place either left or died. "
"If I stay here and cultivate, and absorb the Soul-devouring Energy in this pool, my strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. Whatever. I may have become the Holy Emperor, but I've only just embarked on the path of cultivation. I'll just focus on cultivating here for the next few days. " Houston murmured to himself before sitting down beside the pool and beginning to cultivate the Empyrean Demon Arts.
However, what Houston did not know was that the Empyrean Demon Illusion Formation had exploded with a boom as soon as he was teleported to the underground cavern by a strand of Spatial Force.
There were several even more powerful and profound formations in the surroundings that Houston had failed to discover. These formations were connected to the Empyrean Demon Illusion. Their fates were connected, so the explosion of the Empyrean Demon Illusion caused the formations to self-destruct at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
These formations were all very powerful. Following a series of violent booms, the powerful energy fluctuations caused by the self-defense of the formations caused the entire Death Nest to shake violently.
The formations that had exploded were all extremely powerful trapping formations. They actually trapped origin energy that had disappeared from the Tian Yuan Continent for countless years. Without the restraints of the formations, the origin energy immediately permeated the surroundings. However, the entire Death Nest was enveloped by formations and barriers, so the origin energy was unable to leave the Death Nest no matter what.
A powerful pulse appeared in the air as another colossal formation appeared. If Jianchen were present, he would definitely be able to recognize that the formation was extremely similar to the ancient teleportation formation he had seen in the Underworld Sect's divine hall.
The only difference was that the formation in the Death Nest was even larger and more profound than the one in the Underworld Sect's divine hall.
At this moment, a wild gust of wind suddenly appeared in the Death Nest. The origin energy that had spread into the surroundings was sucked in from all directions before being sucked into the huge teleportation formation.
The teleportation formation immediately began to shine with a bright white light. It slowly began to revolve in the air, causing extremely powerful pulses of energy. However, the formations and barriers outside the Death Nest concealed it, so the people outside could not sense it at all.
The illusionary formations that Houston had passed through when he entered the underground cavern, the trapping formations that had exploded, and the huge teleportation formation that had appeared in the air were all connected.
