226: Chapter 226 The Five Bones Heaven-Seizing Array

Boom! Boom! Boom... After dozens of suicide attacks, the Shura transformed from the Blood Prison Shura Formation had become tattered and broken.

The twelve Elders also spat out blood one after another, their auras weakening as they suffered the backlash.

"Everyone! They are at the end of their rope! Don't hold back, crush them!"

Old Man Yin Gu shrieked as his figure flickered, appearing directly in front of the Shura. His withered palm slammed hard into the Shura's chest, injecting his Life-Bound Poison into its body before he detonated himself.

The Shura finally could not hold on any longer; its figure became illusory and completely shattered in the next second.

The twelve Elders groaned in unison, their auras becoming even weaker.

"Let's fight them to the death!"

A Blood-Robed Elder roared and lunged directly into the densest part of the crowd, then exploded with a bang.

Terrifying blood-colored energy swept out, instantly engulfing three or four Mahayana Stage Cultivators.

However, as the energy dissipated, the figures of the several Cultivators condensed once more, completely unscathed.

"It's useless! Totally useless! You're practically just tickling us!"

The resurrected Mahayana Cultivators mocked them, their offensive becoming even more fierce.

The remaining Blood Prison Sacred Land Elders remained silent, simply rushing toward these Cultivators one by one in an attempt to stall their advance.

On the altar, the Tribulation Crossing Old Ancestor watched this scene, his eyelids twitching wildly.

He could tell that these Elders were using their lives to buy time.

Turning his head to look at the blood pool in front of him, the pool was boiling more and more violently, and that ancient will was becoming clearer and clearer. Just a little longer, and the grand Formation could be activated.

But when he looked up again, all twelve Elders had been wiped out, and of the eleven Formation cores, only five remained, which were still being destroyed at an extremely fast pace.

He clearly saw the madness in the eyes of those Mahayana Stage Cultivators; even he couldn't help but feel a sliver of chills.

"What kind of method is this? Could it be another Ancient Immortal?"

However, he no longer had time to think deeply.

"I can't wait any longer!"

A trace of heartache flashed through the eyes of the Tribulation Crossing Stage Old Ancestor.

He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood containing his life-bound essence, merging it into the blood pool.

At the same time, his hands formed seals, and the immortal fetus within his body vibrated.

"Boundless Blood Sea!"

He growled low, summoning a towering sea of blood out of thin air.

But the blood sea, which could have easily drowned everyone, did not surge forward. Instead, it flowed back, completely enveloping the entire altar into a massive blood sphere, the blood sea turning into a thick barrier.

Having completely broken through the Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods and Fiends Formation, the crowd arrived before the altar.

"Want to be a shrinking turtle? Break for me!"

Old Man Yin Gu shouted sternly, working together with several other Mahayana Cultivators to blast the blood sea barrier.

Boom!

The barrier trembled violently, and a huge dent was blown into its surface. Blood light flowed, and the dent quickly began to repair and heal.

"What a hard turtle shell!"

A Mahayana Stage Cultivator frowned.

Heavenly Valley's expression was grave:

"This old ghost used his own essence blood and the power of a Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator to condense this barrier; its defense is no small matter."

"Who cares what kind of shell it is, just smash it!"

Old Man Yin Gu didn't care at all:

"I don't believe this turtle shell of his can withstand our continuous bombardment! Fellow Daoists, continue, don't give him a chance to breathe!"

For a time, attacks poured onto the blood-colored barrier like a violent storm.

Inside the barrier, the Tribulation Crossing Old Ancestor sat cross-legged at the edge of the blood pool, his face pale.

This move had not only consumed ten thousand years of his Lifespan but also three-tenths of his immortal fetus Origin.

He coughed violently, his body incredibly weak, but his gaze toward the blood pool was full of fanaticism and anticipation.

The boiling of the blood pool reached its peak, and the thick blood arched upward as if alive, slowly lifting an object.

It was a massive, dark red heart, its surface covered in blood vessels, and it was throbbing.

Thump... Thump... Thump... The heavy and powerful throbbing sound penetrated the barrier, clearly reaching the ears of every Cultivator.

They only felt their blood surging and their Divine Souls swaying, almost about to leave their bodies.

"That is... the heart of an Ancient Immortal!"

Everyone cried out in surprise, and then their eyes were filled with fanaticism.

They had already expected this, but they hadn't thought they would find a part of the Ancient Immortal's body so soon.

The moment the Tribulation Crossing Old Ancestor saw this heart, a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes; he knew it was time.

The other three altars in the Eastern Region, Western Region, and Southern Region were already prepared, along with this altar in the Central Region and the Northern Region altar at the place where the Ancient Immortal fell.

All five altars were ready, each containing a part of the Blood Sea Demon Venerable's body: the head, heart, left arm, right arm, and legs.

"Five remains gathered, Heaven-Seizing Grand Formation, activate!"

The Tribulation Crossing Old Ancestor's voice was hoarse as he let out a long howl.

Thump—!!

The heart of the Blood Sea Demon Venerable let out a loud bang, and a strong blood light soared into the sky, turning into a massive blood-colored pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

At the same time, in four other distant locations in the Cultivation World.

In the Eastern Region, deep within the Endless Forest Sea, a blood light simultaneously soared into the sky from an altar surrounded by several Blood-Robed Cultivators.

The Western Region, Southern Region, and the Northern Region that had long been eroded by the Immortal Burial Battlefield... five blood-colored pillars of light appeared simultaneously in the East, West, South, North, and Central Regions, shooting straight into the clouds.

They converged in the sky, intertwining to form a massive, complex, and sinister Formation that enveloped the entire Cultivation World.

The sky of the entire Cultivation World was dyed an ominous blood-red at this moment.

All living beings, regardless of their cultivation level, unconsciously looked up at the Formation in the sky that made them feel terror.

At the Central Region altar.

"Not good! Stop him!"

Heavenly Valley's roar was filled with unprecedented shock and anger.

The power of a Formation covering such a vast area was simply unimaginable.

If they didn't stop it now, billions of living beings in the entire Cultivation World would likely suffer.

Seeing the grand Formation rise, the Tribulation Crossing Old Ancestor laughed and left, having no intention of blocking the crowd at all.

Dozens of Mahayana Stage Cultivators combined their strength to attack the altar, but after a burst of rumbling, the altar was not damaged in the slightest.

"It's useless! Once the Five Remains Heaven-Seizing Formation is activated, the five altars become one. Without the power to destroy all five cores at once, any attack is merely in vain."

"Hahahaha! The Demon Venerable's return is already a foregone conclusion!"

The Tribulation Crossing Old Ancestor's figure disappeared, leaving behind only a burst of arrogant laughter.

The blood-colored Formation in the sky rotated slowly, and thick blood-colored mist began to drift out from the five altars. Any soil that came into contact with the blood-colored mist would become like the Immortal Burial Battlefield—dead and desolate.

Living creatures that inhaled the blood-colored mist would turn into Blood Beasts, with nothing left in their minds but the desire to slaughter.

"We can't wait any longer!"

Heavenly Valley's eyes were nearly splitting.

"We must interrupt it before the entire Cultivation World is completely eroded!"

"How do we interrupt it? This ghostly Formation simply can't be broken!"

Old Man Yin Gu roared irritably.

He had just tried several more attacks, but whether it was Spell bombardment or direct self-detonation, he couldn't leave a single mark on this seemingly ordinary altar.
