Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1353 - 1350: Upgraded Four-Spirit Blood Formation
"Of course it’s true. How could I lie to you about such a major matter? And since our collaboration began, when have I ever deceived you?"
The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace sensed Yang Fei’s interest and immediately became spirited, saying, "In my opinion, why should you care about the lives of other cultivators? As long as you don’t mind them and join me in slaughtering those demon beasts, you can quickly grow stronger."
Yang Fei frowned and said, "They are my friends and family. How can I abandon them?"
"You don’t seem at all like a cultivator. Cultivators are no longer ordinary mortals; how can they be burdened by mundane affairs? Most humans here haven’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Compared to them, you’re not even the same species anymore, so why care about their lives? Kid, you need to change your mindset quickly. In the cultivation world, the strong dominate, and the truly strong don’t care about the life and death of the weak." The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said.
Yang Fei frowned and said, "Let’s talk about business. Don’t try to brainwash me. I have my own judgment on how to be a person and a cultivator, understanding when to choose and when to let go. I won’t insist when things become impossible. Let’s first discuss ways to solve the current crisis."
The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said, "Since you can’t let go of these weaklings and insist on protecting these burdens, then you’ll have to use everything to its fullest, making the Heaven-devouring Beast and Hook Snake sacrifice themselves. Otherwise, even if you reconstruct that Four Spirits Blood Array, with those demon beast spirit puppets you refined, it won’t last long."
Yang Fei’s eyes flashed as he asked, "If we use the Hook Snake and Heaven-devouring Beast, can the Four Spirits Blood Array be maintained indefinitely?"
The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said, "With the Ancient Jianmu providing endless Life Qi Mechanism and this location sitting on top of a top-grade spiritual ore, it can last ten years. If you can continuously slaughter more demon beasts as a supplement, I can even nourish the Hook Snake and Heaven-devouring Beast, extending the duration of the Four Spirits Blood Array."
Yang Fei’s eyes gleamed, and he asked, "If you nourish them, can the damage they’ve suffered be compensated?"
The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said, "It depends on the situation. As long as I’m strong enough, I can nourish and compensate for the deficits in Qi and Life Qi Mechanism."
Yang Fei’s heart trembled with caution as he asked, "You don’t have other schemes in mind, do you?"
"Hmph, you kid aren’t treating me as a true friend, constantly on your guard against me. I’m helping you right now. Once the Four Spirits Blood Array is built, I won’t be able to leave, which is detrimental to my growth. If you insist on holding your ground here, we could find a way to the Southern Domain Cultivation World, and it would definitely allow us to grow faster than staying here. Yang Fei, listen to me, abandon this place, and let me take you to soar." The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s voice was filled with a bewitching tone.
Yang Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I’ll think about it."
He withdrew from communicating with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.
Taking advantage of the demon beast army’s temporary hesitation and not launching an attack, Yang Fei took Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu to cultivate, trying to replenish the day’s consumption as much as possible.
As the three of them nurtured their primordial spirits together, Yang Fei communicated the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s suggestion to the two girls, and the three of them discussed and exchanged their divine sense, eventually deciding to follow the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s advice and give it a try.
After all, for them, there were no better options available at the moment.
Monica only woke up the next morning.
This was due to Yang Fei previously giving her a Yun Shen Pill. Otherwise, given the backlash and spiritual exhaustion she suffered this time, she probably wouldn’t have woken up in ten days or half a month.
Yang Fei mentioned to her about using the Hook Snake to create a more powerful Four Spirits Blood Array.
Monica was hesitant at first, but after Yang Fei persuaded her, combined with the advantage of staying at the Peak White Jade City where she could feel her cultivation rapidly improving and the Yun Shen Pill Yang Fei provided, which was a great help to her spiritual power, she eventually agreed after considering everything.
During the communication with the Hook Snake, the Hook Snake was extremely terrified and unwilling, but Monica was its master, and it couldn’t disobey her orders.
Additionally, when Yang Fei released the Heaven-devouring Beast, and the Hook Snake saw that even the Heaven-devouring Beast had become an array foundation under Yang Fei’s ’persuasion,’ its initial resistance dissipated significantly.
It never expected such a weak cultivator to have a Heaven-devouring Beast as a spirit pet.
That was a fierce beast ranking among the top of the Ten Great Primordial Demon Ancestors during the peak of the Ancient Demon Clan.
If even it was willing to serve as the array foundation for the Four Spirits Blood Array, what else could it say?
Thus, around nine o’clock on the third night, the Four Spirits Blood Array rose again above White Jade City.
The moment the formation took shape, the terrifying pressure of Qi and Blood spread to a radius of ten miles.
Originally gathered at the foot of the Peak White Jade City, even some Great Demon Kings who had come to attack humans in White Jade City were scared out of their wits upon sensing the formation of this new array, quickly fleeing amidst cries of fear and panic.
"The power of this Four Spirits Blood Array is too strong. The demon beast groups previously lurking around nearby mountains have all retreated, and within a ten-mile radius, no demon beast dares to approach."
Soon, the Foundation Establishment cultivators patrolling the surroundings returned one by one to report the situation.
Everyone’s hearts were set at ease.
There was no need to look at those demon beasts driven ten miles away. The cultivators at the Peak White Jade City sensed the formation’s emergence moment, feeling a terrifying pressure several times stronger than before, knowing that the power of this array far surpassed the previous one.
Enveloped in such an array, although the surrounding demon beast groups were dispersed, there was a haunting feeling among everyone living inside, akin to a constant fear of having their essence and vital force drained at any moment.
"Yang Fei, this Bronze Furnace feels so evil. Is it really trustworthy? My essence and vitality are slowly depleting. If I can’t replenish them in the future, I’ll suffer permanent damage, and should I grow stronger, I’ll be of tremendous help to you. You can’t wholly trust this evil furnace; you must guard against it. I’m your contract spirit pet; I’d never hurt you, but it’s different. You and it are merely in a cooperative relationship. If you fail to control it, once it grows strong, it will retaliate against you." The Heaven-devouring Beast shivered as it communicated with Yang Fei through divine sense.
Yang Fei said, "I understand what you’re saying. Don’t worry; I’ll be wary of it. For now, I’ll have to wrong you a bit. It indeed has divine means to nourish Qi and vital essence. In the future, I’ll ensure it makes you stronger."
"Roar!"
The Heaven-devouring Beast growled lightly, communicating with Yang Fei through divine sense, "Alright, I hope your choice is the right one. Master, I need to fall asleep now, to slow down the depletion of Qi and vital essence."
Yang Fei sensed its panic and concern and, with a thought, threw a large bag of top-grade Spirit Stones into its mouth. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Receiving such a substantial offering of top-grade Spirit Stones at once, the Heaven-devouring Beast felt much more invigorated. Swallowing them whole, it contentedly closed its eyes and entered a hibernation state.
Yang Fei then went to where the Hook Snake was.
Monica was stationed there, keeping the Hook Snake company.
The Hook Snake wasn’t pleased to see Yang Fei, glaring at him with enormous hostile eyes.
Yang Fei handed Monica a large bag of top-grade Spirit Stones, saying, "Take these Spirit Stones for your cultivation. You could also find a way to let the Hook Snake absorb some of the spiritual power to make up for the losses."
Monica knew the benefits of Spirit Stones and did not hesitate to accept them.
The Hook Snake sensed the rich spiritual energy emanating from these top-grade Spirit Stones and was also satisfied. However, unlike the Heaven-devouring Beast, it did not have the divine means to consume the Spirit Stones to absorb the abundant spiritual power within quickly; it could only absorb them slowly, like a cultivator.
When the Four Spirits Blood Array was reactivated at White Jade City, Linglong cautiously appeared near the Teleportation Channel Entrance leading to the Southern Domain. Seeing no Earth cultivators ambushing or blocking her, she felt quite relieved, even though puzzled, and quickly piloted her Spirit Boat into the Teleportation Channel Entrance.
