Within the human heart, there exist great desires.
Great evil's filth, incubated from the desires of the human heart, grows in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness. It integrates perfectly with the mind and spirit, blooming like a poppy flower. It constantly spreads, then borrows the divine powers of master gods to protect itself, unseen by gods or ghosts, even deceiving the Hollow Void.
Originally, everything was absolutely safe, if not for the small evil creature Mo Hua from the Too Void Gate. With his divine thought transformed into a sword, he split open the sea of consciousness with a single stroke. The poison of these evil desires could not possibly have flowed out and fallen into the eyes of these old ancestors.
"This damnable little brat, he truly deserves a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices!" Elder Shen immediately bit his teeth. "Things have been exposed, we cannot wait any longer—"
His right hand, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly turned pale, transforming into a demon's sharp claw. He directly twisted off his own left arm, tearing off tendons and skin. From the dripping fresh blood and flesh, he drew out a section of white bone.
Elder Shen silently recited an evil incantation.
Above the white bone, a red light flickered slightly, as if array patterns were activating.
But the next instant, a path of sword light suddenly chopped over, directly cutting off Elder Shen's right arm. Fresh blood splashed, interrupting his incantation.
Elder Shen suffered a backlash, spitting fresh blood from his mouth. He turned his head to look and discovered that Elder Shen from the Qian Dao Sect's Feather Transformation Realm was pointing a sword-finger at him.
Around him, array formations set up by the Qian Dao Sect's array law Elders sealed off the surroundings.
Several other Feather Transformation Realm sword cultivation Elders from the Shen family also pointed their swords at Elder Shen, completely surrounding him.
Elder Shen said indifferently, "Regarding the matter of Lonely Mountain, my Shen family thoroughly investigated it and discovered your traces 'Elder Shen' secretly inside."
"I am under the old ancestor's orders to specifically watch you. You had best not move lightly. I can still leave you one life to be questioned by the old ancestor."
"Should you make a single restless move, you will be dismembered by ten thousand swords on the spot. Take care of yourself."
Elder Shen grinned, blood in his mouth, his tongue wriggling.
"You court death!"
Elder Shen's gaze turned severe. He immediately thrust a sword forward, a cold light flashing. The sword tip pierced through Elder Shen's mouth and tongue, emerging from the back of his head. Sinister fresh blood dripped down along the sword tip, falling onto the ground like deadly poison, corroding bricks and stones.
But even so, Elder Shen's mouth and tongue still wriggled, emitting obscure, ancient tones.
Elder Shen's pupils shrank. He hurriedly said,
"Join forces! Completely exterminate him!"
The surrounding crowd of Qian Dao Sect Elders dared not hold back any longer. Their knives, swords, and dao methods were all unleashed, aiming to execute 'Elder Shen' on the spot.
With blood covering his body and his mouth and tongue pierced by a long sword, Elder Shen still smiled sinisterly. Between the wriggling of his mouth and tongue, he uttered two words.
These two words were very vague, yet they echoed sinisterly and strangely in everyone's hearts:
"Too late—"
The white bone from Elder Shen's left arm suddenly cracked open, a dazzling red light emanating from it. Then, the array patterns above merged into the void, like a 'key', connecting to the great array.
Then, a blue light flashed, and Elder Shen directly disappeared.
The killing moves of the crowd of Qian Dao Sect Elders all struck empty space, unable to wipe out Elder Shen.
Elder Shen was greatly angered, yet powerless.
But just as Elder Shen was about to teleport away using the five-grade great array.
On the View Sword Tower, the Shen family's old ancestor's face turned cold. With a bare hand, he drew a sword energy that merged into the void. When it reappeared, it chopped into the air above Debate Dao Mountain, cutting off space in mid-air. This directly cut the about-to-escape but not-yet-completely-escaped Elder Shen into two halves.
Elder Shen's escape method was forcibly interrupted.
His body was chopped into two halves. These two sections of his body, again due to the void fracture and spatial turbulence, were distorted into blurry, deformed, and ugly flesh and blood.
But even so, Elder Shen seemed still not dead.
His two sections of flesh and blood still retained vitality, wriggling as if wanting to re-fuse together and continue escaping.
In the Hollow Void Great Hall, the previously one-eyed old ancestor immediately said sternly,
"Evil creature!"
With a bare hand, he grasped the void. A bronze-colored large hand appeared out of nowhere and descended upon Elder Shen's entire body.
The one-eyed old ancestor then pinched, shattering the void. Along with the void, the two lumps of flesh and blood that were Elder Shen were also pinched to pieces, bones and flesh breaking. Even the sinister and filthy blood was evaporated by the power of the void.
Elder Shen of the Feather Transformation Realm thus perished. He truly turned to ashes and dust, not a single drop of blood was left in the world.
But despite exterminating Elder Shen, the one-eyed old ancestor's expression did not show relaxation.
He did not feel as if he had 'killed' anything, but rather like he had crushed a rotten flesh maggot.
And just as Elder Shen's flesh and blood were completely extinguished.
Between heaven and earth, a huge 'buzzing' sound rang out again.
This was the spirit howling.
It was produced when a large-scale array was operating and massive spirit stones were devoured, transforming into a flood of spirit power, like the sharp howling sound of towering sea waves.
This meant that the five-grade Debate Dao Mountain great array had begun operation again.
And this time's spirit howling sound, like before, was extremely huge, shaking hearts and souls, indicating that the five-grade Debate Dao Mountain great array was in full operation.
Above the sky, light flashed up again, covering the sky and hiding the earth.
Vast void power flowed in the sky, causing shock and fear.
But this time's light was different from before.
The array was only in operation, yet it did not reveal a single hint of killing intent.
The cultivators watching the battle all showed eyes of bewilderment, not knowing what had happened.
Meanwhile, the crowd of Hollow Void old ancestors' expressions greatly changed, foreseeing that something bad was about to happen.
The previous operation of the great array was to counter the Hollow Void dharma image and protect the Debate Sword disciples—mainly that small monster Mo Hua from the Too Void Gate.
At the same time, it also protected the watch battle cultivators on the entire Debate Dao Mountain from being affected by the terrifying spirit tide during the Hollow Void battle.
Although protecting Mo Hua made this group of old ancestors unhappy in their hearts, this was the normal rule of the great array's operation, and they couldn't say anything.
But now it was different.
There was no trigger condition, yet this five-grade great array suddenly began full operation. "Someone has—tampered with the five-grade great array?!"
"What is the purpose?"
Not a few Hollow Void old ancestors turned their heads to look at Old Mister Xun.
Old Mister Xun from the Too Void Gate was one of the few five-grade array dao old ancestors in the Qian Xue state boundary.
Old Mister Xun's brows were tightly furrowed. He looked at the array light on the edge of the sky, perceiving the flow of the array patterns. In his heart, he deduced the structure of the array hub during the array's operation and concluded that the law structure involved in the great array's re-operation was not killing, not defending, not protecting disciples, but—
Old Mister Xun's heart trembled:
"Teleportation?!"
He immediately realized something, his heart chilled to the bottom. He hurriedly said sternly,
"Quick! Notify the Debate Dao Mountain Elders to forcibly seal the array eye and isolate the great array's spirit power supply!"
He could not intervene in the five-grade great array of Debate Dao Mountain.
The purpose for building this great array was precisely to protect the Debate Sword disciples and isolate all external interference from the field.
These interferences, first and foremost, were precisely the Hollow Void old ancestors from each sect and family.
After all, if the Hollow Void old ancestors truly interfered with the competition, no one could stop them.
This also meant that the primary targets of this Debate Dao Mountain great array were precisely the Hollow Void old ancestors in the field.
They could not interfere with anything inside the great array, nor were they allowed to interfere.
Therefore, forcibly sealing the array eye and cutting off the array, such matters, Old Mister Xun could only let the Elders of Debate Dao Mountain do it themselves. He could not intervene.
But this kind of matter was extraordinary, and Debate Dao Mountain would not easily make a decision.
Moreover, at this moment, everything was already too late.
The death of 'Elder Shen' was precisely the key, which activated the great array.
The great array began full operation according to plan. One after another 'teleportation' blue lights began to flash.
All the disciples who had participated in the Shura War, were defeated, and retreated, were reverse-teleported, re-entering the 'field'.
Inside a barren Shura field.
One after another human shadows who had once 'died' began to reappear.
Ling Hu Xiao, Ouyang Xuan, Cheng Mo, Si Tu Jian, the Tai A five brothers, Hao Xuan—
These disciples from the Too Void Gate, with the flashing blue light, re-gathered around Mo Hua.
And besides the Too Void Gate, the four great sects, the eight great gates, and even some of the twelve streams' prodigy disciples, also flashed into presence one by one—
Shen Zang Feng, Ao Zheng, Xiao Ruo Han, Shi Tian Gang, Ye Zhi Yuan, Qin Cang Liu, Feng Zi Chen, Song Kui———
Looking around, it was densely packed, all of them Mo Hua's 'enemies'.
But at this time, they did not have time to 'seek revenge' against Mo Hua. They only faced each other, completely confused, not understanding exactly what had happened, why they had already been defeated and retreated, only to be transmitted back again.
No one answered them.
Moreover, the teleportation continued.
The blue light began to brighten and dim again. These disciples gathered in the Shura field disappeared one after another.
When they came back to their senses, their shocked souls just settling, they looked around and saw mountains high and clouds low, mist lingering. They had ascended to the absolute peak.
One hand connected to the sky, all mountains were small, a floating, immortal feeling.
Soon, some disciples reacted:
"Hanging Sky Peak!"
"This is Hanging Sky Peak?!"
The highest place on Debate Dao Mountain, one peak and one tower.
The peak was Hanging Sky Peak, and the tower was View Sword Tower.
The View Sword Tower was the place for the world's clans' old ancestors, Dao state direct descendants, and Court Pavilion nobles to view swords. It was hidden in the clouds, and ordinary people could not see it.
The highest place on Debate Dao Mountain that the crowd could see was precisely the towering peak that reached into the clouds, like a sword pointing to the sky, Hanging Sky Peak.
And Hanging Sky Peak was also the final battle ground for the 'Heaven' character Debate Sword of the Debate Sword Assembly.
The prodigies from each sect who successfully advanced through the 'Earth' character Debate Sword war would gather at the top of Hanging Sky Peak and engage in the final battle with the strongest prodigy in the Qian Xue state boundary to decide the winner.
But at this moment, these prodigy disciples suddenly discovered that all of them had unexpectedly been teleported to Hanging Sky Peak.
"What happened?"
"What does this mean?"
Their hearts were shocked, their faces bewildered.
But even at this point, the teleportation did not stop.
Above the five-grade great array, an extremely dazzling light suddenly burst forth.
Even sharper spirit howling sounds rang out.
Massive spirit stones were instantly devoured, transforming into spirit power to supply the great array.
Powerful spirit power fluctuations, like a hurricane, swept towards the four directions.
Vast blue light, like a vast ocean, instantly rushed to the sky, directly entering the clouds. Majestic light directly covered the entire Hanging Sky Peak.
The operation of the five-grade Debate Dao Mountain great array was almost reaching its limit.
Then, under the unbelievable gazes of ten thousand cultivators, the majestically standing, towering Hanging Sky Peak, was severed at its roots by the power of the void, and then directly—
Disappeared.
The crowd was horrified.
The Hollow Void old ancestors were also all greatly shocked.
Hanging Sky Peak—was teleported away?!
The Hanging Sky Peak, which had stood in the Qian Xue state boundary for ten thousand years, was actually teleported away by the five-grade Debate Dao Mountain great array?
And on Hanging Sky Peak, there were still several hundred of the most top-tier disciples from the four sects and eight gates!
These were the true heart's meat and marrow blood of each great sect.
"Quick!" A Hollow Void old ancestor said in shock and anger, "Check where Hanging Sky Peak was transmitted to!"
Teleportation involved the power of the five-grade Hollow Void.
The conditions for teleportation were harsh, and the restrictions were also extremely numerous. Moreover, such an enormous Hanging Sky Peak, even if it was teleported away, could not teleport too far, at most only near the five-grade Qian Xue state boundary.
One by one, the Hollow Void old ancestors released their divine senses.
One after another, shocking Hollow Void powers unscrupulously swept across the land of the entire Qian Xue state boundary.
Some Hollow Void old ancestors also took out the supreme treasure, the Peep Heaven Mirror, and looked at the entire state boundary.
Soon, a crowd of Hollow Void old ancestors had a discovery.
"Southwest direction!"
"Edge of the three-grade Yan Fall Mountain!"
Yan Fall Mountain was precisely the location where Mo Hua had once exterminated the demon sect.
Immediately, old ancestors operated the Peep Heaven Mirror, shining it towards the southwest direction, where the eight hundred li swamp was everywhere, poisonous fog and miasma filled Yan Fall Mountain. A scene of heaven and earth spinning changed.
Thus, the crowd saw on the Peep Heaven Mirror that Hanging Sky Peak stood solitary in the clouds, situated at the edge of the mountain boundary of the Qian Xue state boundary, just bordering the three-grade Yan Fall Mountain.
This geography greatly shocked the hearts of the crowd of Hollow Void old ancestors.
"This?!"
"Could it be"
Before they could react, Hanging Sky Peak indeed directly—toppled over in front of them.
Accompanied by a huge "rumble" sound, mountains and rivers deformed, smoke and dust filled the sky.
Hanging Sky Peak, which had towered into the clouds, after being transmitted to the edge of the five-grade Qian Xue state boundary by the five-grade Debate Dao Mountain great array, then directly rumbled and toppled from the five-grade state boundary, collapsing towards the territory of the three-grade Yan Fall Mountain.
Thus, the entire Hanging Sky Peak, like a "bridge", spanned the five-grade and three-grade state boundary.
And due to the restrictions of the heavenly dao laws, in the three-grade territory, these old ancestors of theirs also dared not intervene rashly.
What a great conspiracy! What a deep layout!
All the old ancestors, for a time, felt their hearts cold to the bone.
And almost at the same time, the sudden change of Hanging Sky Peak attracted the attention of almost everyone, from the old ancestors to the ordinary watch battle cultivators.
On the Shang Guan family's viewing platform.
Wen Ren Wan was similarly shocked by this scene. She raised her head to look at the disappeared Hanging Sky Peak, her arms tightly hugging Yu Er.
But the next instant, a human shadow flashed. A cultivator suddenly appeared beside Wen Ren Wan and stuck a jade pendant resembling a 'Debate Dao Jade' onto Yu Er's forehead.
Then, a blue light flashed, and Yu Er directly disappeared.
Wen Ren Wan only felt her arms suddenly empty. Yu Er was gone. Her face immediately turned pale, her heart like a knife twisting.
She turned her head to look. Her beautiful eyes immediately filled with anger, her voice hoarse with hate as she said,
"Shang Guan Wang Yi"
Shang Guan Wang sneered.
The sudden change on this side also attracted the attention of other Shang Guan family Elders. Some Elders said in shock and anger,
"Elder Wang, what are you doing?"
Shang Guan Wang sneered and said, "I am giving the direct son of the Shang Guan family an opportunity, so that this child can shed his mortal body and change his bones, transforming from a mortal to a god."
Having finished speaking, he then directly pinched and shattered a blood jade, and his entire person also disappeared.
Time was precious. There was only this tiny gap of the sudden change of Hanging Sky Peak. Once Shang Guan Yu was transmitted away, he had to immediately withdraw.
He could not delay for a single moment.
Once he was delayed, if a Hollow Void old ancestor came back to their senses and noticed him, then he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
The surroundings instantly became empty.
In just an instant, Yu Er disappeared.
Shang Guan Wang also disappeared.
Wen Ren Wan did not even know where Shang Guan Wang had sent her Yu Er, or what Yu Er's fate would be.
The scenes in her nightmare once again floated before Wen Ren Wan's eyes.
Yu Er bleeding dry, her internal organs dug out, her face covered in blood, her skin pale, her eyes empty, looking at her, asking her, as her mother, why she could not protect her child. Boundless fear spread from her heart.
Wen Ren Wan only felt a dagger, cutting on her heart little by little, pain like tearing her heart and splitting her lungs—
After the sudden change.
In a certain secret room in the Qian Xue state boundary.
Mister Tu transformed and emerged from a pool of flesh and blood again. He then put on a sacrificial robe. His entire person was sinister, tall, and thin, like a demon who had shed its human skin and revealed its true form, with long fingers and a deathly pale face.
"Everything is ready. The god fetus, the blood river, the flesh city, the blood eye, the bone hub, and the most top-tier—
Sacrificial offerings in the Qian Xue state boundary."
"Although it is a bit hasty, there is no other way—"
"That damnable little creature, if not for him"
Mister Tu's face was distorted and ferocious. He gritted his teeth, then suppressed his emotions, and slowly sighed,
"Alright, we cannot wait any longer—"
"Begin—"
Mister Tu knelt on the ground, kowtowing with his head. "Humble beings, respectfully welcome the birth of the Great Wilderness Lord——."
His eyes suddenly bulged out. Amidst the bloodlust, they revealed piety and madness.
"Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Great Array!"
"Open!"
