Chapter 1344: Chapter 1345: Capture Them All
“Sect Master Xue, do you know why I, as Peak Master, never bother with formations?”
“Because there’s no need!”
“In the face of absolute power, any petty tricks are mere decorations, utterly meaningless!”
“You’ve estimated that I’ve got only two hundred Saint Realm Demonic Beasts at my disposal? Then I’ll show you today what true strength looks like!”
Li Xiaobai curled his lip into a mocking smile. His mind dove into the System Mall, throwing out another hundred Godzillas as if tossing candies, watching them crash down with thunderous force.
Xueshenzi assumed that relying on his array of Saint Realm cultivators and formations would be enough to counter two hundred Saint Realm Godzillas. So Li Xiaobai decided to simply overwhelm them with numbers, completely forgoing the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. He smashed these Saint Realm Godzillas down one by one; eventually, the opponent would be crushed under their sheer weight.
“Form the array!”
Xueshenzi shouted decisively. The numerous Saint Realm cultivators took peculiar positions and began creating hand seals. More than a dozen blood-colored formations gradually intertwined and merged in the void, forming an enormous Slaughter Array Pattern. Crimson energy surged skyward, the massive formation expanding unlimitedly and quickly spreading over half of the Southern Continent within mere breaths.
The intimidating momentum was undeniable.
“Kid, run quick, Lord Buddha has a talisman ready!”
Ergouzi clutched a golden talisman in its little paw, a fierce flame consuming it, yet it had no effect. The void had already been sealed by the Saint Realm cultivators, making teleportation talismans useless. Not that there was a need for them anyway.
Li Xiaobai’s expression remained indifferent. He raised his hand slightly and said, “What’s the rush? Isn’t it just a matter of comparison? When have I ever been weaker than others in this lifetime?”
As soon as his words fell, the heavens above roared with furious growls and cries. One terrifying beast after another descended from the skies, directly landing on the enormous blood-colored formation without melting into the void.
“Three hundred now. What do you say?”
Li Xiaobai asked Xueshenzi nonchalantly.
His wealth amounted to a full two trillion premium Immortal Stones. If he truly wanted to, he could flood the entire Central Origin Realm with Demonic Beasts.
“Hmph, theatrical antics!”
“Pay it no mind. Focus solely on maintaining the formation and wearing down these beasts. Their Blood Qi is a significant nourishment—everyone, absorb freely!”
Xueshenzi snorted coldly. From within the haze, a beam of black light shot out, integrating into the formation to reinforce it. They didn’t need to directly attack the Godzillas. At the moment, every Saint Realm beast was enveloped by the blood-colored formation, and as long as they kept the formation intact, they could gradually grind them down one by one.
Furthermore, the Saint Realm experts present could even use the Heart of the Blood Demon to continuously extract the terrifying Blood Qi inside the Godzillas for their own benefit, allowing for constant replenishment at any moment.
“Four hundred!”
Li Xiaobai took a drag of his Huazi cigarette and calmly stated.
“Five hundred!”
The black-robed cultivators didn’t flinch, their faces unwavering as they diligently repaired the formation to keep the slaughter array running. Already, several Godzillas had been ground to dust.
“Six hundred!”
Another swarm of massive, mountain-like bodies fell, crashing onto the blood-colored formation.
Down below, many black-robed figures stumbled, barely managing to hold the formation steady.
“Seven hundred!”
The Saint Realm experts, though still fighting tooth and nail, showed signs of faltering, unable to hold on much longer.
“What’s going on?”
“Didn’t Xueshenzi say he only had two hundred Saint Realm Demonic Beasts?”
“This damn thing is up to seven hundred now! We can’t hold out!”
The cultivators grumbled, their pupils contracting, confidence beginning to waver.
“Eight hundred!”
The blood-colored formation flickered and blurred, unable to withstand such a massive assault from the beast horde, showing signs of collapse and disintegration.
“Yan Zuzi! What are you dazing around for?!”
“If the Blood Demon Sect falls, you won’t fare any better. Get in there and support us!”
The black haze roared, seemingly furious beyond measure. They had believed the opponent could only muster two or three hundred Saint Realm Demonic Beasts at best, yet now there were eight hundred—without showing any signs of slowing down!
This was the Central Origin Realm. What was the concept of eight hundred Saint Realm Demonic Beasts?
Enough to oppress not just this era, but the next and even beyond. Such a force concentrated on a single junior was inconceivable.
Was this backed by some higher powers?
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Within the darkness, flashes of starlight twinkled and the entire Blood Demon Sect was partitioned by silver threads into a massive chessboard. The ground fractured, with enormous chasms crisscrossing the terrain.
Simultaneously, rows of copper Terracotta Soldiers emerged from the shadows, wielding spears in their dead-eyed gazes. They charged at the beasts before them, twelve soldiers combining forces to topple a Godzilla to the ground.
“That’s the Dutian Twelve Divine Calamities!”
“Bringing out your ultimate move, yet unwilling to show your true form? Clearly, you’re ashamed and lack the dignity to face me!”
Li Xiaobai watched the Terracotta Soldiers dominating the chessboard. This was undoubtedly Yan Zuzi’s covert involvement, though the strikes weren’t fatal—clearly aiming to repel the Godzillas rather than kill them outright.
Some measure of conscience remained. Still, this only heightened his curiosity about what force could possibly drive these apex powerhouses to abandon their grudges and actively defend Xueshenzi, the overlord of the Demon Path.
“Doesn’t matter—nine hundred!”
Li Xiaobai casually released another hundred Saint Realm Godzillas. Whatever tactics the opponent employed, he didn’t care. His sole objective today was domination—absolute, all-encompassing, crushing dominance that left no room for resistance!
Pure and simple, by the numbers. These Saint Realm Godzillas hadn’t even activated their gravitational fields. With just the Red Lotus Karma Fire and the power of thunder, the blood-colored formation began tearing apart, massive openings yawning wider and wider.
The Saint Realm black-robed cultivators faced mounting difficulties and intense pressure but had no choice but to persist. Why? Above their heads, the formations were crammed with money-backed Saint Realm Demonic Beasts. If the array completely shattered, allowing the beasts to crash down, their deaths would be guaranteed!
Xueshenzi felt a twinge of existential doubt. His opponent had not utilized any counterfeit Sea-Calming Divine Needle replicas nor equipped these Godzillas with golden armaments for defense—simply kept hurling Saint Realm Demonic Beasts. Yet the quantity was ridiculous. How could it be possible to command nearly a thousand Saint Realm Beasts? Throughout all of Central Origin Realm’s history, the number of Saint Realm dual-Divine Fire experts couldn’t possibly exceed this figure!
“One thousand!”
Li Xiaobai didn’t overthink. Seeing the opposition still resisting, he threw out another hundred. Anything solvable with money was no problem at all—and this situation was clearly a problem solvable with money!
A full thousand Saint Realm Godzillas roared together, their furious cries shattering the blood-colored formation entirely, fragmenting it piece by piece. Below, the black-robed individuals panicked, scattering in terror.
“Activate domains!”
“Don’t let anyone escape!”
“Old folks these days lack discipline—capture them all and bring them back to Sword Sect’s Second Peak to clean toilets!”
