Chapter 1259: Dual-Polarity Nine Palaces Array

A thunderous roar erupted!

The lightning Jingyu spat out transformed into a raging storm. Arcs of electricity writhed wildly, filling the sky as if they would tear the blood mist apart. At the same moment, Devil Lord Tongyou’s yin thunderbolts detonated all at once.

Daoist Master Chongyi remained calm, driving his secret treasure and sweeping out streak after streak of wondrous light. Qin Sang and the others each employed their own methods, joining the assault.

Their target was the black tower at the center!

Boom! Boom! Jingyu was right. The black tower withstood their bombardment as if it were real. There was no sign that it was an illusion.

Lightning exploded, churning the blood mist upside down as thunder rolled incessantly.

The vibrations spread far and wide, shaking the entire array.

***

Within the core of the Black Tower Array, the Sin Abyss cultivators had already broken through the illusion, found the passage, and entered the true world concealed beneath it.

It was a vast space, eerie and terrifying, filled with extremely dense blood mist. From within, one could clearly see the four black towers standing at the corners.

These four towers were real. Between them, a barrier isolated this space from the outside.

Like the Black Tower Array, the barrier had suffered some damage. However, being at the core, it had been well protected and was less damaged than the rest.

There were no other structures in this space. It was completely empty except for a square blood pool as large as a lake. The pool was filled with blood, and Blood Lake manifested outside the seal was formed from this very substance.

The stench of blood was overwhelmingly thick, laced with blood poison. A single breath would cause splitting headaches and muddled consciousness.

Around the edge of the pool lay numerous black chains. These chains, forged from an unknown material, gleamed like gemstones. They were covered in intricate runes, some broken, others intact. Each chain was as thick as a human head, interlinked and incredibly heavy.

One end of each chain was fixed at the edge of the pool, while the other extended deep into the blood, disappearing beneath the surface, its destination unknown.

Above the blood pool, Old Devil Ye sat cross-legged in mid-air.

To his left and right stood two figures. One was Daoist Master Tianzheng, and the other was Old Devil Ye’s blood devil incarnation, who had somehow returned to rejoin them.

The group gathered around them, all staring intently at the blood pool below as they continuously activated their astras to attack the seal.

The blood pool itself remained completely still. However, the black chains constantly emitted runes, blocking every incoming attack.

Under their relentless assault, the light emitted by the runes had begun to fracture. Tianzheng's expression suddenly changed. He flipped his palm and took out an ancient mirror. Before he could even activate it, a loud rumble shook the space.

He quickly infused true essence into the mirror. Having left preparations outside earlier, he immediately saw a group of figures attacking the black tower illusion.

But before he could make out the scene clearly, a cold snort rang out from within the mirror, and the image shattered instantly.

"Crap! They’ve caught up!" he shouted.

Everyone was shocked.

"How is this possible?!"

"They deciphered the Black Tower Array so quickly and found the core!"

They were all incredulous. Earlier, they had deliberately split the enemy forces and delayed them, believing everything was foolproof. Yet something had gone wrong.

The enemy had found this place ahead of time and even seen through the illusion. This was completely unexpected!

Tianzheng's expression shifted uncertainly. He glanced at Old Devil Ye, only to see him still fixated on the blood pool, continuing to attack the seal as if oblivious to the commotion outside. He then looked toward the blood fiend incarnation.

The incarnation sneered. "Don’t look at me. I personally lured them away. Unless there’s someone among them proficient in array arts, who knows how they found this place."

"Even Leng Yuntian of Yuanshen Sect does not have that ability!" Tianzheng said decisively, utterly unable to understand what had gone wrong.

But the facts were before them. There was no time to dwell on it. They had to respond and block the incoming enemies.

He glanced at the blood pool, then surveyed the surroundings and made arrangements. "The seal is about to be broken. No matter what, we cannot let them enter. Earlier, Daoist Ye and I used a secret technique gained from soul searching a devilish monster to carefully probe. The one sealed beneath the blood pool should no longer be capable of stirring trouble and is not a concern. With Daoist Ye and me here, it is sufficient. I ask the rest of you to assist Daoist Jiang Chenzi and set up the banner array at the entrance to block the enemy!"

As he spoke, Tianzheng looked toward Jiang Chenzi and the others holding the banners.

The banners were the Array Eyes. Jiang Chenzi and the others exchanged glances, then immediately moved to activate the banners.

Outside the illusion, under the relentless bombardment of Devil Lord Tongyou and the others, the illusory black tower became battered and unstable. It shook violently before finally collapsing with a thunderous crash.

At the moment it collapsed, all the fragments vanished instantly, leaving behind a dark void.

Jingyu transmitted that this was the entrance. Everyone was overjoyed and was just about to investigate when three small banners suddenly rose from within, followed by a burst of blood light.

At the same time, a loud shout rang out. "Get back!"

"A banner array!" Qin Sang let out a cold snort.

The Sin Abyss cultivators were indeed here. Having been alerted by the breaking of the illusion, they had set up a banner array and were lying in wait.

To enter, they would first have to break the array. In the next instant, the array enveloped them completely. It flashed briefly, and then boundless blood light filled their vision, engulfing them entirely.

Whoosh! The group was experienced. The moment the array formed, they attacked simultaneously, targeting one of the banners.

That banner transformed into a gate, fluttering loudly. As they approached, figures suddenly emerged from behind it, led by Jiang Chenzi.

"Break!" Jiang Chenzi roared and pointed a finger at them.

The banner gate surged, and waves of blood light poured forth like a raging river, carrying immense force. It scattered their Dao techniques and sent their astras trembling and breaking formation.

Everyone was shocked and quickly recalled their astras. In the next moment, the blood light surged again, and both the banner gate and Jiang Chenzi vanished into thin air.

This is the true power of the banner array. Fortunately, I reacted quickly back then when the Snake King and I went in. Otherwise, one of us might have been trapped inside. Qin Sang thought.

Back then, only Jiang Chenzi and two others had controlled the array, and it had not even been fully formed before Qin Sang used the Blood Defilement Divine Light to taint one of the banners and break the array.

Now, with multiple Spiritual Infant cultivators of Sin Abyss jointly forming the array, its power was on an entirely different level.

The Blood Defilement Divine Light had already been used, and Sin Abyss would not give him another chance to attack the banners.

For a moment, they were trapped within the blood light, unable to locate the three banner gates. Meanwhile, the array grew increasingly violent. Endless blood light surged into towering waves, its overwhelming force suffocating.

"Daoist Tongyou, quickly form the Dual-Polarity Nine Palaces Array!" Qingjun shouted.

Devil Lord Tongyou nodded and flipped his palm, producing several slender jade talismans.

These talismans were as thin as paper, each engraved with a vivid depiction of a celestial palace.

The Dual Polarity Nine Palaces Array was a set of array artifacts specially refined by the Two-Domain Alliance for the expedition into Blood Lake, requiring immense effort and resources to create.
