Somewhere in the stone forest, a thin old man was sitting cross-legged on top of a stone pillar that was about 10,000 feet tall.
A jade slip was floating above the old man's head. At this time, the jade slip was constantly emitting a faint golden light, enveloping the old man in golden light.
The blood mist that was constantly gushing out from the stone pillar and the arrangement in the stone forest that could corrode a cultivator's soul did not seem to affect the old man at all.
Feeling the changes in the stone forest, the old man opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Such a Bloodthirsty Demon Array, I fear that only an ancient demonic path giant could arrange it. Even after so many years, it still has such power and influence!"
"Let them fight for a while first. It won't be too late for me to make a move when the last one is left."
After muttering to himself, the old man closed his eyes again, as if he did not care about the changes in the stone forest.
The stone pillars in the stone forest were constantly moving. Under the effect of the array, the cultivators who entered the stone forest encountered each other more and more often, making the battle more intense.
Although they had lost their minds, all the experts had a very good fighting instinct. Some of the spells and magic treasures that they were familiar with could be used in battle.
Under the effect of the blood mist, all the cultivators became more and more courageous as they fought. The killing intent on their bodies was almost condensed into a substance.
The two clans had a large number of cultivators, but now there was probably less than 1% of them left. Only the experts were left.
The battle continued. The endless blood mist had already drowned the stone forest. From outside the stone forest or in the air, the tall stone pillars could no longer be seen.
In the blood mist, in addition to the sounds of the cultivators fighting, there was also a burst of demonic sound. It was as if thousands of demons were roaring together, causing one's expression to change.
What was even more strange was that the blood mist could condense into shapes. They were all hideous and terrifying. They were tall, as if countless bloodthirsty demons had gathered here.
The cultivators who were in a state of madness did not care about the changes in the environment. They killed blindly and died in the slaughter.
Having lost their minds, the experts of the two clans naturally did not band together or cooperate. They even frequently attacked experts of their own clans.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Lingyu was naturally extremely advantageous. Even if he did not release the eight black armor clones or use any magic treasures, he could still easily kill Saint God experts. Even if he was surrounded by several Saint Gods who had lost their minds, he could still kill his way out.
However, the situation was so chaotic that everyone only knew how to kill. They did not know how to rest or avoid danger. In the frenzy of battle, injuries were naturally inevitable. At this moment, even Xiao Lingyu's body that was comparable to an ordinary saint artifact was covered in wounds.
Blood continuously flowed from his wounds, but Xiao Lingyu did not know how to seal them.
No one leaped into the air. Instead, they walked quickly on the ground of the stone forest in search of their opponents. Every step they took left behind bloody footprints, as if they were demons crawling out from a sea of blood.
The stone pillars were constantly moving in order to gather the scattered cultivators together. Any cultivator who entered the stone forest would not be able to escape the slaughter.
At this rate, there would definitely be only one cultivator left in the stone forest, and that cultivator would naturally be the strongest.
Of course, in a state of madness, the cultivators' strength would be greatly reduced. However, the degree of reduction would not be the same. Some cultivators who were clearly very strong when they were sober would have their strength greatly reduced after going berserk. They might not be able to defeat weaker cultivators who were weaker than them but whose strength had not decreased by much in a state of madness.
In a battle below the Heavenly Ascension Realm, Xiao Lingyu's advantages were too obvious. Especially with his fleshly body that was comparable to a Sacred Artifact, as well as the extremely powerful Primal Truefire, he was able to stand in an invincible position in this kind of crazy battle.
In addition, such battles would drag on for a long time. No one would deliberately recover their strength. Xiao Lingyu had countless blood crystals to help him store his strength, which was also a great advantage.
A strong body, powerful Primal Chaos Truefire, and sufficient strength. These advantages could be used automatically even in a state of madness. It was not like some spells or magic treasures that cultivators who had lost their rationality could not use or control.
Less than a month had passed since the stone forest began to be filled with blood mist. There were only two cultivators left in the stone forest who had gone berserk, and one of them was Xiao Lingyu.
However, the foreign race expert was already an arrow at the end of its flight. His body was covered in terrifying wounds and his body was swaying.
Even so, the foreign race's Saint Deity did not hesitate to attack Xiao Lingyu. However, just as he reached Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu sent him flying with a kick.
The foreign race's Saint Deity's body fiercely smashed into a stone pillar and fell heavily. However, he struggled to get up and pounced at Xiao Lingyu again.
When he approached again, Xiao Lingyu grabbed the foreign race's Saint Deity's arms.
Ha!!
Xiao Lingyu roared and tore off the foreign race's Saint Deity's arms, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
The foreign race's Saint Deity only cried out in pain and then tried to bite Xiao Lingyu with his mouth.
On the other hand, Xiao Lingyu's hand was like a blade as it chopped down on the Saint God's neck, instantly beheading him.
The only cultivator left who had gone berserk was Xiao Lingyu.
The blood mist in the stone forest churned even more violently. The roars of countless demons were like thunder that shook the sky.
The entire stone forest was shaking, and the stone pillars were moving at a much faster speed.
What was even stranger was that many of the stone pillars, which were originally erected on the ground, stuck close to each other as they rapidly moved. Some of the stone pillars even rose from the ground and piled up together.
In ten minutes, all the stone pillars in the stone forest stopped moving and a tall and majestic fortress that occupied an extremely large area was formed.
There was a wide and tall stone platform in the middle of the fortress.
The stone platform was like a plaza, but it also looked like a colosseum.
The structure of the fortress was very simple. From the outside, it looked like a flat wall made of huge stones. From the inside, it looked like a circle of stairs that led to the audience seats of the arena.
The demons formed by the blood mist were all on the stairs. Their bodies became more and more solid as they bared their fangs and brandished their claws and roared wantonly. They were like demons from the underworld that had been resurrected from ancient times.
If Xiao Lingyu was conscious, he would definitely feel his scalp go numb. But now that he had lost his mind, he was still waving at the demons around him. It was as if the demons were cheering for him and cheering for him.
At this moment, the elder who had not been affected by the array flew down from the top of the fortress and landed on the stone platform. He was only a few hundred feet away from Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu, who had lost his mind, naturally rushed up excitedly when he saw an opponent on the platform.
When the old man saw that Xiao Lingyu was charging towards him, he did not panic in the slightest. With a piece of jade on his head, his body was wrapped in a circle of faint golden light. When Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of him, his body swayed and he moved two feet to the side.
Xiao Lingyu, who was charging at him aggressively, naturally missed. Furthermore, his left shoulder was tightly grabbed by the elder.
The elder pulled hard. He thought that he would be able to tear the other party's arm off, but instead, he flung the other party's entire body away.
"His physical body is so strong!"
The elder was a little surprised, but he moved again. In a flash, he was in front of Xiao Lingyu again.
After Xiao Lingyu was flung away, he crashed onto the stone platform. Before he could get up, the elder had already raised his foot and stomped down viciously.
Xiao Lingyu, who still had 70% of his combat strength, was not slow at all despite his madness. He rolled his body and dodged the other party's kick.
Bang!
The seemingly weak old man stomped his foot down, creating a huge hole in the incomparably hard stone platform.
With the large hole as the center, there were even more than ten cracks in the stone slab.
If this stomp had landed on Xiao Lingyu, even if his body was comparable to a Saint artifact, he would probably vomit blood even if a few of his ribs were not broken.
After rolling, Xiao Lingyu quickly got up. He pushed his feet back and dove towards his opponent like a fish.
Although Xiao Lingyu's movements were as fast as lightning, the elder was even faster. Before Xiao Lingyu could reach him, the elder had already dodged to the side and raised his elbow to smash Xiao Lingyu's back.
The force of this elbow was very strong. Although Xiao Lingyu was thrown a few feet forward, he still landed heavily on the stone slab and could not help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
Regardless of whether it was strength or speed, the elder was much stronger than Xiao Lingyu at this moment. He far surpassed the other Sacred Gods and was probably at the Heaven Ascension Realm.
Only a Heaven Ascension Realm expert could maintain such a large advantage in front of Xiao Lingyu.
After landing again, Xiao Lingyu quickly got up again. He was in a state of madness and did not feel the slightest bit of pain.
The elder frowned slightly and muttered to himself in a low voice, "This formation is too strange. It actually restricts the use of divine abilities and spells. It also does not allow me to communicate with any power between heaven and earth. I can't even use any magic treasures. Otherwise, I would be able to destroy this kid in one move!"
Since he was always at a disadvantage in close combat, Xiao Lingyu instinctively formed the Primal Chaos Seal. However, the Primal Chaos Seal did not appear. He also found that he could not release his power and his consciousness was firmly confined in his sea of consciousness.
However, Xiao Lingyu, who was unconscious, did not mind whether or not he could cast spells, nor did he want to use any magic treasures. He rushed towards the old man again.
However, no matter how Xiao Lingyu charged, the elder was able to dodge with a simple movement and use his fists and legs to attack him.
Although the elder's fists and legs were strong and could easily injure an ordinary Sacred God, Xiao Lingyu's body was too strong. Even if he was hit repeatedly by the elder, he would only suffer a surge in his blood and Qi.
Moreover, whenever Xiao Lingyu was hit, the special energy in his body that he had absorbed from the Thunder Fiend Karmic Fire would help him reduce the impact of the attack.
As a result, it would be very difficult for the elder to finish off Xiao Lingyu in a short period of time.
The elder gradually discovered that the spatial pressure on the stone platform was gradually increasing. His and his opponent's strength would be greatly restricted.
