Chapter 1870: Devouring Blood (2/2)

In just a second, his body dried up with wrinkles everywhere. He became several decades older in appearance after losing half of his vitality.

“Activate!” The once-confident old man was finally scared. He roared and used more imperial arts in order to escape but he found that it was useless. There was a matchless sucking force pulling him forward.

“Again!” The aghast old man took out an imperial item of the prenatal Violet Force level.

“Boom!” It turned into an armor, intending on stabilizing his vitality.

Blood still shot out of the armor just like before. This Grand Emperor’s armor was useless like a net trying to stop water from flowing through.

“No!” The king became horrified but it was too late.

“”Ah!” All of his blood was drained at a rate much quicker than before. This suction force was terrorizing and took all of his blood as if his body was a sieve. One would think that something had pierced countless holes in his body. Only skin and bones were left of the king.

All of his blood started flowing from the altar down the gaps to the monument. With a buzz, all the blood suddenly disappeared without a trace as if it had been devoured by the monument.

Even an imperial artifact couldn’t protect him to the horror of the crowd. The ma.s.s began to weigh themselves, thinking whether they were stronger than River Dragon King. Even if they were stronger, they didn’t have an imperial weapon anyway.

The princess composed herself after watching this scene: “It’s too strong, he couldn’t even fight back with an imperial weapon.”

“It has nothing to do with strength.” Li Qiye shook his head: “It’s due to a disparity in power between him and the imperial artifact; this nullified its effectiveness. If he were to use his own dao weapon, it would have been better. Before this altar, one needs a delicate balance between the defensive artifact and their own power in order to protect the vitality using the true fate.”

“What kind of logic is that?” She asked.

“You need to ask the person who created it and what they wanted to do.” Li Qiye chuckled in response.

The ma.s.s became silent after seeing the death of River Dragon King. It was suicidal to attempt anything after this clear example.

“How amusing.” Someone suddenly broke the silence. His voice wasn’t loud but each word struck a mental chord like a heavy piece of metal.

An old man wearing a gray robe was standing on a peak. When he opened his eyes, everyone felt time pa.s.sing by faster. He looked imposing enough to suppress an entire domain.

“High G.o.d Shangguan.” Someone shouted with reverence.

Another cultivator from the same generation became envious and said: “Shangguan Tu has finally crossed through that boundary after waiting for one generation to become a High G.o.d.”

He was from the previous generation with decent talents. It took him this long period but he still managed to overcome the Dao Celestial realm to become a High G.o.d with one totem.

“The High G.o.d is about to try.” Someone cried out.

In the eyes of the spectators, Shangguan Tu was still a High G.o.d despite having only one totem. He was still much stronger than someone at the Dao Celestial realm. They wanted to see whether he could do something to this stone monument.

Shangguan Tu’s eyes lit up to become as bright and scorching as a sun. There was no doubt that he was very interested in this monument.
