At this moment, at the blood pool in the front hall.
The five City Lords, including Edgar and Chen Yang, were still activating the formation, and at this time, the five of them had many more Xuan Apertures than before.
Chen Yang's body flashed continuously, and after counting, he had more than two hundred and ninety Xuan Apertures. In a short period of time, nearly thirty Xuan Apertures had been opened.
Sun Tu and the others had opened about the same number of Xuan Apertures, and the bright starlight emitted from their bodies was much brighter than before. Naturally, there was no lack of surprise in their eyes.
When Shao Ying and the others saw this, there was no lack of envy in their eyes. However, they knew that both their status and strength were far inferior to the five City Lords, so naturally, they did not dare to say anything.
The formation was now operating much faster than before. The pentagram above Edgar and the other four City Lords was several times larger than before, and the blood-red beam of light it projected was also much thicker than before.
The surrounding blood-red light barrier was also much denser than before, and countless runes appeared on it, making a low whistling sound as it operated.
The black statue under the five City Lords had also changed a lot at this moment. The original black body had now turned black and red, and rays of blood-red light were projected from the statue's body. In particular, the statue's eyes shot out two long rays of blood-red light, which looked quite strange.
Sun Tu and the other three City Lords looked at the statue under them and the changes in the surrounding blood-red light barrier, secretly shocked.
Chen Yang and Sun Tu looked at each other and saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, although the surrounding blood-red light barrier had changed, there was still no restrictive force coming from it, which made them feel much more at ease.
At this moment, the surface of the blood pool had dropped a lot, revealing an even larger crystal skeleton, which looked like it was about to reach the bottom.
Hualala!
The blood in the blood pool suddenly rolled violently, forming a vortex several feet in size.
Then, a blood-red ball of light the size of a person emerged from the depths of the vortex, emitting waves of astonishing energy.
This energy wave was quite strange. It was not simply the power of the stars or the power of qi and blood, but a mixture of the two, which was very similar to the Sulphuric Flame Blood Cloud.
Moreover, the waves emitted by the blood-red ball of light were unusually strong, and even Sun Tu and the others were shocked.
"Sacred Remains?" When Sun Tu and the others saw the blood-red ball of light, they put aside the uneasiness in their hearts and revealed a look of surprise.
Even though Fang Chan and the others could not see the blood-red ball of light in the deep pit, they could still feel the sudden and powerful fluctuation. They were all moved and raised their heads to look.
"My fellow cultivators, the Sage's corpse has appeared. Let's work harder!" Ekow's face was also filled with joy. He shouted loudly and his hands moved faster.
The speed at which he chanted the incantation doubled.
When Sun Tu and the rest saw this, they hurriedly activated the formation.
Rumble!
The devouring power emitted by the five statues immediately increased, and the bloody water below churned even more intensely. It actually soared into the air and turned into five pillars of bloody water that entered the five statues.
The blood pool's water level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a short while, all the blood pool's water had disappeared, devoured by the five statues.
The scale-like patterns on the surface of the five statues flashed a few times, and their originally blackish-red bodies suddenly turned completely blood-red.
The blood-colored ball of light also revealed its true form. It was a blood-colored door of light. Beyond the door of light was another world, with countless blood-colored lights surging within.
The powerful fluctuation came from the door of light. There was no sign of the Sage's corpse at the bottom of the pool.
Moreover, it seemed that because of the absence of the bloody water, the fluctuation emitted from the door was even stronger.
"City Lord Ekow, what's going on?
Where is the Sage's corpse? "Sun Tu's face darkened as he looked at Ekow.
The other three also looked at Ekow.
Ekow was sitting cross-legged on the blood-red statue, his eyes closed, his hands still moving, his mouth quickly chanting the incantation. He ignored Sun Tu's question.
Rumble!
The statue under him suddenly emitted a dazzling blood-red light, which shone on his body and dyed him red.
Then, with a series of "pu pu" sounds, seven or eight thick blood-colored light tentacles shot out from the statue. They danced up and down, and merged into Ekow's body.
Ekow's body shook a few times, but immediately calmed down. His eyes suddenly opened, and they had become blood-red.
Not only that, his body seemed to have inflated a lot, and red lines appeared on the surface of his body. He looked like a devil from hell.
When Sun Tu and the other three saw Ekow's change, their expressions changed.
Among the four of them, Qin Yuan was the most shocked. He suddenly stood up from the statue and was about to leave.
However, at that moment, a crystal-clear blood-colored light suddenly rose from his lower abdomen, radiating from inside out.
This blood-colored light rotated and turned into a hazy blood-colored cloud, wrapping half of Qin Yuan's body in it.
Countless runes vaguely appeared in the blood-colored cloud, resonating with the statue under him. Qin Yuan's body seemed to be frozen in ice, and he could not move.
Almost at the same time, blood-colored light suddenly rose from the bodies of Chen Yang and the other two. With a flash, it condensed into a blood-colored cloud, shrouding half of their bodies.
The bodies of the three of them could not move at that moment, and they were imprisoned there.
Near the deep pit, Fang Chan, Duan Tong, Xuanyuan Xing, Shi Chuankong, and the short and fat elder of Xuanzhi City saw this scene, and their expressions changed. They subconsciously wanted to go forward.
With a blur, three figures appeared in front of them. They were Shao Ying, Zhu Ziyuan, and Zhu Ziqing.
"Everyone, the five city masters are activating the formation. It's better not to go forward and disturb them," Shao Ying said calmly, and a strong pressure exploded from his body, pressing down on Fang Chan and the others.
Fang Chan and the others felt as if their bodies were being pressed down by a huge mountain. They suddenly sank, and it became difficult for them to breathe.
They looked at Shao Ying in shock, and subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
Among the people present, only Madam Liu Hua stood quietly at the side. Her expression was calm, and she did not speak or do anything.
Inside the blood formation, Ekow slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at the four of them.
At that moment, his eyes were emitting a threatening red light, and there was no trace of the gentleness from before.
When Sun Tu and the others saw Ekow's expression, their hearts could not help but skip a beat, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
"City Master Ekow, what are you doing?"
Fu Jian struggled with all his might, but the blood clouds around him seemed thin, but they were as steady as Mount Tai, and did not even tremble. He forced a smile and asked.
"The sacred remains have yet to appear, so the four of you can't just leave like that. Without you, how is this blood formation going to operate? So, I had to make the four of you stay," Ekow said slowly with a faint smile.
"Oh, stop pretending. It seems like everything here is part of your scheme.
However, we have been very careful, and we have not let our guard down. When did you do this to us? "Sun Tu shouted coldly.
"Sulphuric Blood Clouds!" Chen Yang looked at the crystal-clear blood clouds around him, and his eyes flashed as he blurted out.
When the other three heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
"In the end, Brother Chen's mind is sharp, and you reacted first.
Not bad, the Sulphuric Blood Clouds are really good stuff! "Ekow said with a smile.
"City Master Sun, City Master Fu, didn't you say that you did not obtain the Sulphuric Blood Clouds in the Sulphuric Mist Sea?" Qin Yuan suddenly thought of something, and asked Sun Tu and Fu Jian.
When Sun Tu and Fu Jian heard this, their expressions froze.
When Qin Yuan saw their expressions, he immediately knew that they were lying. The two of them had also obtained the Sulphuric Blood Clouds, but they had kept it a secret for some reason.
Chen Yang took a deep breath and slowly asked, "So the Sulphuric Blood Clouds suddenly appeared in the mist sea because of you. You began to plot against us at that time. City Master E, what are you trying to do?"
"You will know very soon!" Ekow's blood-red eyes swept over the four of them, and he threw his head back and laughed.
As he laughed, the blood formation around him shone brightly, and countless blood-red lines appeared out of thin air. As they intertwined, they formed a blood-red formation that was several times more complicated.
Countless lines also appeared on the blood-red light barrier around them, and with a flash, it suddenly turned into a semi-solid blood-red light barrier that enveloped the entire deep pit, as well as Chen Yang's group of five.
The statues under Chen Yang's group of four suddenly burst out with dazzling blood-red light. The light enveloped the four of them, and it surged into their bodies.
Sun Tu's group of four's expressions changed, and they tried to struggle with all their might. However, the blood cloud restriction firmly confined their bodies, and they could not move at all. They could only watch as the blood-red light from the statues invaded their bodies.
Blood-red lines in the shape of earthworms appeared on the bodies of the four of them, and these lines writhed on their bodies like living creatures. The four of them trembled, and expressions of pain appeared on their faces. They could not help but let out miserable screams.
When Fang Chan and the other four saw this, their expressions changed greatly.
"City Master!"
When Fang Chan saw Sun Tu's miserable appearance, he became anxious, and he no longer had time to estimate Shao Ying's strength. He was the first to rush out.
When Duan Tong, Xuanyuan Xing, and the short and fat elder saw this, they immediately followed.
Shi Chuankong did not rush out, and instead retreated a distance.
Shao Ying sneered, and immediately rushed forward. He waved his hand, and white light shone from his palm.
Five sharp forces shot out like a hurricane, and it was as if five divine swords were slashing through the air. Everywhere they passed, five deep marks were left on the ground. The sharp force spread out, and Fang Chan and the other three were completely enveloped in it.
Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing followed closely behind, and they also flew out.
…
At this moment, in the rear hall, Han Li was walking out quickly.
His expression suddenly changed, and he stopped in his tracks. Then, his body fell to the ground with a "plop".
Rays of blood-red light swarmed out from his lower abdomen, and formed a blood-red cloud that enveloped his body.
"This is … So the Sulfur Flame Blood Cloud was secretly tampered with by someone!" Han Li's Divine Sense swept through his body, and he immediately sensed the source of the blood-red cloud.
At this moment, two blood-red cloud-shaped lights appeared in the Dantian of his lower abdomen. Countless incomparably small blood-red runes were rolling within them, and they emitted a powerful restrictive force that firmly confined his body.
