Chapter 1241: Blood Servant of the Death Nes (2/2)
Houston shifted his focus back onto the illusory formation hidden within the Blood-refining Formation. The illusions were extremely powerful. With Houston’s current strength, he could not create them, nor could he destroy them. However, he knew the way in.
Houston still ended up entering the formation after hesitating slightly. He followed the method he had learned from the Empyrean Demon Orbs and made his way through the formation.
Houston was extremely cautious. He checked every single step several times and would only take a step after confirming that it was completely correct. He knew that he would end up trapped in the formation if he took a single wrong step, and it would be very difficult for him to escape.
After taking several hundred steps, Houston finally passed through the formation. At that moment, he felt his surroundings ripple as the landscape around him suddenly changed. He had already unknowingly arrived in an underground cavern.
The cavern was round, around thirty meters across. The entire place was filled with dense Soul-devouring Force and a two-meter-long, square pool sat in the middle of the room. The pool was filled with blood-red liquid, which seemed just like blood.
When Houston’s gaze fell on the pool of liquid, he immediately became extremely excited. His head began to violently beat in an uncontrollable manner. He could recognize what the liquid was with a single glance. It was Soul-devouring Force that had condensed into liquid because of the high density of Soul-devouring Force in the cavern.
“I understand now. All of the Soul-devouring Force produced by the Blood-refining Formation above was actually all stored here. This Death Nest is basically a holy land made for practitioners of the Empyrean Demon Arts. Although I’m still uncertain as to who made this place, the Soul-devouring Force here has already become so dense, and the Blood Servant up above has not taken on a master either. The expert who created this place must have died if he did not leave.
“If I cultivate here and absorb the Soul-devouring Force in the pool, my strength will definitely skyrocket. Whatever. I may have reached Saint Emperor already, but that’s only the beginning of the path of cultivation. I’ll devote myself to cultivating here over the next few days,” Houston murmured before sitting down beside the small pool. He began to practice the Empyrean Demon Arts.
However, what he did not know was that when he had passed through the Empyrean Demon Mirage and was sent into the cavern by a strand of Spatial Force, the illusory formation had exploded apart with a boom.
In the surroundings, there were even more powerful and even more profound formations that Houston had not discovered. These formations were connected to the Empyrean Demon Mirage. The explosion of the illusory formation lead to the self-destruction of the other formations at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The formations were very powerful. With a string of violent rumbles, the powerful ripples of energy released from the self-destruction of the formations made the entire Death Nest violently shake.
The formations that had exploded were extremely powerful trapping formations, which actually trapped the origin energy that had disappeared from the Tian Yuan Continent for countless years. Now that the origin energy was freed, it immediately dispersed into the surroundings, but the entire place was still enveloped by a formation and a barrier, so the energy was unable to break free no matter what.
An extremely powerful pulse appeared in the void. Another extremely vast formation appeared out of nowhere. If Jian Chen was present, he would definitely have been able to recognize the formation to be similar to the ancient teleportation formation he had seen in the divine hall of the Underworld Sect.
The only difference was that the formation in the Death Nest was even larger and even more profound than the one in the Underworld Sect.
At this moment, a violent gust of wind suddenly rose through the Death Nest. It sucked in all the origin energy from everywhere, causing it all to enter the huge formation in the end.
The formation immediately began to shine with bright white light as it slowly revolved in the empty air, creating an extremely powerful pulse of energy. However, it was obscured by the barrier and formation outside the Death Nest, such that outsiders could not sense it at all.
Everything was connected to the moment Houston passed through the illusory formation into the cavern and to the consecutive explosions and the appearance of the huge formation.
As soon as someone passed through the Empyrean Demon Mirage and was sent into the underground cavern by the Spatial Force, the other formations would be activated. The illusory formation’s self-destruction would activate the trapping formations containing the origin energy, and the origin energy would the activate the huge teleportation formation in the air. This had all been planned by someone long ago.
