“Their advantage is only the treasures they have. At the same time, their weakness is apparent–they are unable to absorb the energy in this world. Thus, they have to depend on Deity crystals to regain energy after consuming them during battle. There might be some strange treasure which allows them to forcefully take in energy, but the rate is extremely slow. If they die in battle, they could refine another avatar out, but the price is higher too.” Pang Yi said, “And in contrast, we are the opposite, we have an endless amount of energy. Even if we die in battles, we could refine another avatar out. Besides, Bloodshed’s technique allows us to refine another avatar… improving the superiority we have in overall power. Thus, they rarely take the initiative to attack us in the war until now.”
Xue Ying nodded.
Bloodshed God-Emperor then said, “Other than this stone pillar, you should be able to carefully observe the other regions using the connection between the arrays.
“Oh?” Xue Ying thoroughly inspected. He was able to discover within moments that this black stone pillar beneath his legs had a grand power that contained many layers of arrays which extended out to 500 billion kilometers away. They had linked to other locations far away. With Xue Ying’s current sensing ability, he was able to discover those places swiftly.
“Two pillars, three, four, five…” Xue Ying soon discovered them.
Surrounding the base of Ancestor Mother Religion, in the world above and the ground below, in regions of differing distances, there were a total of ten black stone pillars currently interconnecting with one another, forming an incomparably colossal array. It contained a grand power. Every single stone pillar had massive amounts of shackles enveloping them. Those shackles were somehow restricting that base of Ancestor Mother Religion through the void.
“According to the “Myriad Catalog” which you provided me, I discovered an array within called the ’12 Primal Pillars’.” Bloodshed God-Emperor said, “I’ve relied on the materials we have to refine these 12 Primal Pillars. Even though the materials we have are slightly lacking, the array refined and other aspects are entirely the same. The power it contained should be about 50% that of the original version.”
12 Primal Pillars? There were apparently 10 stone pillars, yet the array was called the 12 Primal Pillars?
Xue Ying was bewildered.
“The array itself contains 12 Primal Pillars, but the array is extremely complex and planting every single Primal Pillar requires us to spend a huge amount of time.” Bloodshed God-Emperor mentioned, “The Ancestor Mother Religion is not foolish too. They will appear at critical moments to prevent us from constructing the pillar. Currently, we have constructed 10 Primal Pillars in total, and we could not plant the 11th… precisely because we lack manpower. The moment we finished planting the 12 Primal Pillars, it will completely trap the Ancestor Mother Religion, sealing that base of theirs. It will prevent them from coming out ever again. Being trapped within, they aren’t able to obtain any resources or energy and cannot cultivate. Neither can they come out, and it would represent their defeat.”
“Thus, they are doing their utmost to prevent our construction.”
“But before the 12 Primal Pillars have formed the complete array, every single Primal Pillar contain a slightly weaker power. It requires Rulers to protect it could we prevent the offense of Ancestor Mother Religion. Without a Ruler protecting it… the many Religious Leaders from the Ancestor Mother Religion will be able to destroy the arrays within a single Primal Pillar.” Bloodshed God-Emperor said, “Once a part is broken, we can only reconstruct it. Once we lose one of the most important Primal Pillars, it will be very troublesome to refine it again.”
“Thus, we have to have someone protecting it.”
“Currently, Purgatory, Monarch Green and Primal Master have two avatars each. They are defending a total of six Primal Pillars scattered around the place.” Bloodshed God-Emperor said, “Abyss Primogenitor has two avatars protecting a single Primal Pillar, and Pang Yi has two avatars protecting another pillar as well.”
“Temporal Island Lord and Myriad God Palace Head are both teaming together to protect another Primal Pillar.”
“The final tenth Primal Pillar will usually be protected by me.” Bloodshed God-Emperor said, “But since I have to construct the 11th Primal Pillar… my true body and avatars will have to move together. Furthermore, I still require Black Bird to aid me. Only then could we construct the array while under the attack of Ancestor Mother Religion. But at that time, we can only have Empress Qian He alone to defend this tenth Primal Pillar, yet she could not do so herself. Thus, we have been prevented from moving forward with the 11th Primal Pillar.”
Empress Qian He helplessly said, “The protectors of the Primal Pillars are required to fight directly, and have harsh requirements on the protector’s power. My frontal combat is ultimately too weak.”
“Both Temporal Island Lord and I have two avatars each, and we could only protect a single place with four avatars. Empress Qian He, this could not be blamed on you.” Myriad God Palace Master added.
Xue Ying completely understood after hearing it.
Bloodshed God-Emperor’s true body and avatar, adding Black Bird Fifth Uncle Master were required to work together in order to construct a new Primal Pillar…
And thus, it had to be other Rulers protecting the pillars!
Purgatory Ruler, Monarch Green and Primal Master were all very powerful. They could defend two pillars each.
Pang Yi and Abyss Primogenitor were slightly weaker and could only secure a single pillar each.
Temporal Island Lord and Myriad God Palace Head had to work together to defend a pillar.
Empress Qian He was not stronger than Temporal Island Lord and Myriad God Palace Head… thus, she was too lacking in terms of power to protect even a single pillar.
“I originally hoped for you to become a Ruler using the Dao of Slaughter. That way, our overall combat power will be much stronger.” Bloodshed God-Emperor said, “Even though you are a new Ruler, with you teaming with Empress Qian He, and adding the prowess of the Primal Pillar array… you will be able to defend a single pillar still. But now, you became a Ruler using the Dao of Mirage.”
The other Rulers felt slightly regretful too.
Using the Dao of Mirage to become a Ruler gave him powerful survival capabilities, but it was much weaker in terms of frontal combat.
