Chapter 455 (2/2)

The other powerful existences were not split or seated in any hierarchy, though all of them were mighty in their own ways. There were about close to a hundred of them! Some had come from the Dark Abyss, while others were the subordinates of the Bloodshed God Emperor. The largest group was formed of idle powerful existences coming from various organizations. After all, powerful existences were all prideful by nature, and most refused to sit under other people. Even the powerful existences under the Bloodshed God Emperor, the Temporal Island Lord, or the Myriad God Palace Head were not necessarily simple servants.

For instance, the Bloodshed God Emperor had quite a few subordinates, but a portion of them had joined as a means to evade danger, while others joined due to a teacher-student relationship…

Other than powerful existences, there were a number of stage four World Deities who had come over to participate in the feast! However, the largest portion of this group was actually made up of experts from the Bloodshed God Palace. Most stage four World Deities from other organizations were not qualified to attend such an event.

“Old monkey, is it true that you’ve found a Sun Star Essence Rock in the Sun Star?”

“Who’s spouting this rubbish about a Sun Star Essence Rock? No such rock has been found in the Sun Star since more than a hundred billion years ago, so how could I get one? You all must have been thinking about it so much that you’ve turned mad.”

“Quick, come join us for a drink, Old Brother Wu. It’s been too long since we two last met, right? I didn’t think for a second that you’d come over to participate in this Myriad Flower Feast.”

“I’ve finished a closed-door cultivation session, and I’ve gained quite a lot from it, so I thought I’d to come out for a stroll.”

The powerful existences were all talking amongst themselves. The ones who were relatively close would sit close to each other, while those who shared enmity would maintain some distance.

“Fellow ladies and gentlemen,” from his high position, the Bloodshed God Emperor began to speak in a low voice. “So many good friends have come today. I am truly happy to see the Myriad Flower Feast so crowded. You can all keep on drinking and chatting amongst yourselves… but while you do that, how about we watch those youngsters from my Bloodshed God Palace fight each other?”

The many powerful existences turned over to look in the distance, their vision landing on the nineteen hundred Deity experts. Since only the members of the Bloodshed God Palace could accept disciples, most of the powerful existences had simply come to enjoy the crowd.

Forefather Scarlet Flame was also part of the latter group. He had refused to join the Bloodshed God Palace and was instead one of the idle powerful existences.

“Let it begin, then,” the Bloodshed God Emperor calmly ordered. In the eyes of this existence who had always been standing at the apex, the Myriad Flower Feast was nothing more than a gathering of old friends. The matter of choosing disciples was no more than an afterthought. Even ordinary existences of high status would rarely select disciples, while the Bloodshed God Emperor would usually not care enough even to select grade one True Meaning Transcendents.

Powerful existences saw this as no more than a small event and more of a small pleasure. But to Xue Ying and the other Deities, this was a hard-earned opportunity! They sought to make as good a use of this moment as possible, for it was truly rare to see so many powerful existences gathered in the same place!

“Prepare yourselves.” A blood-armored commander walked out from the inner section. As a stage four World Deity, his aura was vast and mighty. He swept his gaze across the nineteen hundred Deity experts. “I’ll be sending you all inside now. The battle will begin soon.”

Xue Ying, Seventh Mei Yu, Jiu She, Drunk Guest, and many other extremely formidable Deity experts were all quietly waiting.

Finally–

The commander from before activated the arrays, and the region where the nineteen hundred Deity experts stood began to glow a golden light. An invisible force then promptly moved the consciousness of Xue Ying and all the others to a distant location, while their true bodies were cut off from their senses.

“Mn?”

Soon, Xue Ying could see a towering mountain stretching up before him. It was surrounded by many other mountains, with which it connected into a chain. The mountain was littered with caverns, and a fog of various colors—from violet, to black, to golden—spiraled within.

With a sweep of his gaze, Xue Ying detected the other Deity experts who were hovering in the distance. Clearly, all nineteen hundred of those Deity experts were scattered across this mountain range.

So formidable. That array was actually able to move our consciousness here? Xue Ying inspected the body his consciousness currently inhabited. This body is very similar to my true body, being at the third level of Time Immemorial Body and also powered by the Great Chaotic True Force.

The Bloodshed God Palace Battle was known as the safest stage precisely because only the consciousness of a participant would ever be sent into battle! Even if this body perished, their consciousness would simply return to the original body.

Is that Dong Bo from the Calm Sea Prefecture? He took first in the ranking battle and second in the survival battle. One of the experts noticed Xue Ying and immediately flew away to some other place with a frown.

Indeed, Xue Ying ranked very high amongst the nineteen hundred Deities. Only someone with a grade one Deity Heart could hope to suppress him.
