In the past, it was these nine powerful beings who had joined forces to seal the abyssal plane, and following the pa.s.sage of over 6,000 years, these badges had finally reappeared.
The nine badges vanished into the cave wall, and the entire abyssal pa.s.sageway immediately began to tremor violently. A vast expanse of golden patterns erupted with the nine badges as their origin points before extending into the depths of the abyssal pa.s.sageway.
A loud rumbling sound could still be heard ringing out from within the abyssal pa.s.sageway, but it had become slightly more stable.
Nine circular platforms slowly emerged from the cave wall. Blood One's body swayed, and he arrived first onto the platform that was situated in the 12 o'clock position before taking a seat upon it. The other eight Blood G.o.ds also descended onto each of the platforms before sitting down with their legs crossed.
”I offer my blood as tribute!” A plume of blood mist erupted from Blood One's body. The blood had been forced out of his pores, and as the blood mist permeated through his airs, his complexion instantly paled slightly.
”I offer my blood as tribute!” The other eight Blood G.o.ds repeated the same incantation before large plumes of blood mist also erupted from their bodies.
After the blood mist was released, it instantly descended and fused directly into the platforms that they were seated on without even a single drop being wasted. Golden runes instantly lit up within the entire cave, illuminating everything in the deepest part of the abyss so that it was clear as day.
Looking down from above, one could see a vast expanse of black mist swirling within the depths of the pa.s.sageway, and a string of loud shattering noises were ringing out in quick succession.
Dark purple light was flas.h.i.+ng deep within the abyss and attempting to spread upward.
However, with the injections of blood from the nine Blood G.o.ds into their respective platforms, the array immediately became more stable, and it was beginning to force the purple light downward.
”Innate spirits, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.” Blood One's vehement voice rang out in the air above the abyssal pa.s.sageway. The round platform beneath him was already glowing as bright as the sun, and a series of golden halos revolved around his body before rising upward.
Blood Two then immediately yelled, ”Spirit of water, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Three yelled, ”Spirit of fire, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Four yelled, ”Spirit of earth, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Five yelled, ”Spirit of wind, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Six yelled, ”Spirit of light, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Seven yelled, ”Spirit of darkness, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Eight yelled, ”Spirit of time, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
Blood Nine yelled, ”Spirit of s.p.a.ce, heed my call; the soul of Douluo will forge a foundation.”
As the nine incantations rang out, the nine round platforms all began to radiate lights of different colors. Water was blue, fire was red, wind was azure, earth was yellow, light was white, darkness was black, and the most peculiar ones of all were time and s.p.a.ce; time was of a golden color that was constantly transitioning between darker and lighter shades, while s.p.a.ce was of an ethereal rippling silver color.
With the blood of the nine Blood G.o.ds as a tribute, the nine innate spirits of nature completely activated the array down below.
This Blood G.o.d Array was created by those aforementioned nine powerful beings, and the seal hadn't just been forged by the powers of those nine beings. Instead, their powers were used as a catalyst in conjunction with some extremely complex symbols to gather the nine types of essential spiritual energy on the Douluo Continent to create this seal. They had drawn upon the power of laws of the Douluo Continent, which was resistant to alternate planes, and this was why the seal had managed to keep the abyssal plane at bay for such a long time.
Right as the seal was about to be completed, the powerful beings of the abyssal plane at the time resisted with all their might, and they were able to create a few small gaps around the seal that would allow some normal abyssal creatures to pa.s.s through without being killed by the seal. This was how the 36 branch pa.s.sageways came into existence. Otherwise, if the seal had been perfectly implemented, then the abyssal plane would've already been completely cut off from this world.
One of the most important duties of the Blood G.o.ds was to replicate the nine powerful beings of the past, drawing the nine types of innate spiritual energy toward the seal to activate it to its most powerful degree during times of grave peril.
