Chapter 1828: Immortal Astral’s tenth sun, I Disagree! (Second Update)

Just now, when they were discussing this matter inside the palace, Yan Luan immediately saw that this matter was equivalent to a tremendous stroke of fortune. Summoning the Heavenly Ox Soul and transforming it into Soul Armor to wear on one's body not only drastically increased cultivation but also provided unimaginable benefits for truly elevating one's own cultivation.

However, this kind of opportunity was not available to everyone; one could only achieve it after establishing a certain connection with the Heavenly Ox Soul. Moreover, the greater the connection with the Heavenly Ox Soul, the more terrifying the increase in cultivation.

Although the increase was temporary, once achieved, it would undoubtedly make it much easier than for ordinary people to ascend into this Realm again in the future.

Furthermore, such an opportunity was extremely rare to encounter. It required all members of the Sects on the Tianniu Continent to activate the Heavenly Ox Seven Acupoints Grand Array when facing a crisis of invasion like this.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Ox Soul must not be summoned too many times. If it is, the Heavenly Ox Soul will dissipate over a large area, and the entire Tianniu Continent will be affected as a result.

These matters could affect Mortals and shake the Foundation of the Tianniu Continent!

Despite this, there would still be some insane individuals who would choose to disregard the suffering of the populace and force the issue. If that happened, that person and all those who indulged them would certainly face punishment from the Imperial Clan!

This was an unquestionable command across the entire Immortal Clan Territory, one that had been passed down for tens of millions of years, and no one dared to violate it!

If violated, one person dies, one Sect dies, one Continent dies!

The command was that unless the life and death of a Continent's Cultivators were at stake, the Soul of the beast sealed from beyond the heavens must not be harmed! However, the invasion by the Cultivators of the Green Devil Continent had now caused this ancient command to become relaxed.

Yan Luan naturally yearned for such an opportunity, and Xu Dongde yearned for it too, as did those three dimmed Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivators. However, they couldn't compete with Lü Wenran. Even though Lü Wenran's cultivation was currently weakened due to injuries, based solely on his contribution to this battle, they couldn't speak up.

The muffled loud noises above the Underground Palace were still continuing. The roaring sound was like the scythe of death, ready to fall and sever the traces of life at any moment.

"Fellow Daoists, please sit cross-legged, release all your cultivation power, and let your Divine Thought manifest the Heavenly Ox. Join me in using this array to summon the Heavenly Ox Soul to materialize!" Lü Wenran was extremely excited. He had waited a long time for this opportunity. He knew that this Soul Armor certainly carried risks, but they weren't too great. Most importantly, if he missed this chance, the next one might only come after endless years.

Moreover, this time, including himself, seven people in total across the seven acupoints of the Heavenly Ox would obtain this qualification. These seven people would certainly hold illustrious positions on the Tianniu Continent in the future!

Hearing his words, the thousand-plus Cultivators below fell silent for a moment, then sat down cross-legged. They had no choice; this was the only method.

Although Yan Luan and the others behind Lü Wenran were unwilling, the general trend was set. They all sighed internally and sat down cross-legged. In the entire space, only Lü Wenran stood there, the excitement in his eyes completely undisguised.

He looked toward the Old Man Zhou and nodded.

Old Man Zhou dared not refuse. He quickly performed Hand Seals with both hands and recited an Incantation only he could hear. His cultivation was insufficient, but the reason he was sent here to be the person in charge, and why he didn't need to participate heavily in every major battle, was precisely because his constitution was extremely suited for communicating with the Heavenly Ox Soul.

Furthermore, here, similar to a Green Devil Emissary, his identity was named Heavenly Ox Attendant!

Wang Lin sat cross-legged in his Immortal Cave, his eyes flashing. He did not act rashly but chose to wait!

Outside the Immortal Cave, Old Man Zhou bit the tip of his tongue, and as he spat out blood, he raised his right hand, grabbed the blood, and molded it into a Bloody Hand Seal.

"Heavenly Ox Sacred Soul, by my blood, I summon the Soul to return!" Old Man Zhou looked extremely solemn. He waved the Bloody Hand Seal forward, and immediately, this mark burst out with endless crimson light, enveloping the entire Immortal Cave Underground Palace.

"Fellow Daoists, pour your cultivation power into this crimson light!" Old Man Zhou suddenly roared.

Following his roar, the thousand-plus Cultivators below sat cross-legged, one by one releasing all their cultivation. Layers of ripples spread across the ground. After the cultivation power of the last Cultivator was released, looks of pain appeared on their faces, as their internal cultivation power was completely sucked away by the crimson light covering the area.

The endless bloody light absorbed the entire cultivation of the thousand-plus Cultivators, suddenly rolled back, and rushed straight toward the Hand Seal that was emitting the crimson light. With a boom, it condensed, causing a vast expanse of gray mist to appear between heaven and earth.

Centered around the bloody mark, this mist swirled above the Underground Palace, slowly forming a gigantic Vortex. This Vortex materialized and rotated, gradually speeding up.

As it rotated, roaring sounds continuously echoed. To the naked eye, the depths of the Vortex seemed to lead to a strange space, and roars filled with monstrous resentment violently streamed out from within that strange space.

Roar!!

The moment this sound appeared, the Underground Palace immediately shook violently. The thousand-plus Cultivators below had their minds impacted by the sound, and they instantly turned pale, spitting out blood simultaneously, their expressions becoming listless.

Even Yan Luan and the others changed expression simultaneously the instant they heard this sound.

This sound was the Roar of the Heavenly Ox!

Lü Wenran's expression of excitement could no longer be concealed; it was fully revealed. He stared at the strange space within the Vortex, listened to the Roar of the Heavenly Ox, and immediately burst into maniacal laughter.

The excitement in his heart had reached its limit. Desire and greed showed in his eyes. He understood that it wouldn't be long before he obtained a temporary burst of cultivation, which would also bring immense benefits for his future.

Wang Lin, inside his Immortal Cave, stared at the Vortex in the sky and heard the Roar of the Heavenly Ox that entered his mind. He was not unfamiliar with this roar!

The bloody mark was the first step in summoning the Heavenly Ox Soul. The cultivation power of the thousand-plus Cultivators was the power of the Vortex used to open the space where the Heavenly Ox Seal resided —that was the second step!

"Fellow Daoists, each person must draw nine liang and nine qian of Sacrificial Blood—no more, no less—and quickly concentrate it on your right index finger!" Old Man Zhou raised his right hand, and with a wave, a wound instantly appeared on his fingertip, from which nine liang and nine qian of blood flew out.

At the same time, the thousand-plus Cultivators below all raised their right hands. Having reached this stage, they had no retreat. Following the requirements of Old Man Zhou, they all squeezed out the same amount of blood, which transformed into streams of blood arrows flying out.

This large amount of blood instantly condensed together, astonishingly turning into a Blood-colored Chain. The chain swept across the space, one end rushing straight into the Vortex. After plunging deep into the depths of the Vortex and entering the strange space, it suddenly yanked violently outward.

The Roar of the Heavenly Ox echoed again. As the Blood-colored Chain pulled, it seemed intent on forcibly locking and dragging out the Heavenly Ox's Soul from within.

The roaring became more intense, and Lü Wenran grew even more excited. He licked his lips, and monstrous desire appeared in his eyes.

"This is mine, this belongs to Lü Wenran!! With this Heavenly Ox Soul Armor, I can fight my way out of here! Although the time is short, I will absolutely not easily return this Soul Armor during this period of chaos!" Lü Wenran stared at the Vortex, his expression agitated. He had waited a long time for this day!

The reason he targeted Wang Lin was actually because Old Ancestor Qing Niu's attitude toward Wang Lin made him feel threatened. Combined with both of them being assigned here, it led Lü Wenran to act as he had before.

As the red chain continuously pulled, the Roar of the Heavenly Ox gradually became clearer. Faintly, one could see an Ox Shadow spreading within the Vortex, being dragged out bit by bit by the chain.

But this process did not last long; the chain showed signs of being unable to pull further. Seeing this scene, a cold light flashed in Lü Wenran's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou!" Lü Wenran suddenly turned his head, staring at Old Man Zhou while also glancing at Yan Luan and the others behind him.

Old Man Zhou smiled bitterly internally. Gritting his teeth, he cupped his fists toward Yan Luan and the others.

"If the Heavenly Ox Soul does not emerge, I ask all Great Venerables to release your Primordial Spirits and join this junior in summoning the Soul!" As Old Man Zhou spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand and slapped his glabella. With a boom, Old Man Zhou's Primordial Spirit immediately flew out, turning into a small person that rushed straight toward the Vortex and grabbed the chain.

At the same time, under Lü Wenran's red-eyed, threatening gaze, the three Early Stage Empty Tribulation Realm Cultivators from Sects near the Extreme Heaven Grassland closed their eyes in silence. As they sat cross-legged, their Primordial Spirits immediately flew out. Filled with helplessness, they flew together toward Old Man Zhou and grabbed the chain.

"Elder Yan Luan, Elder Dongde!" Lü Wenran looked at the two of them, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Yan Luan sighed inwardly and no longer hesitated. She and Xu Dongde sat cross-legged, and their Primordial Spirits flew out simultaneously, grabbing the red chain. Combining the power of five Empty Tribulation Realm Great Venerables, and using Old Man Zhou's aura as a guide, they all suddenly pulled.

They saw that within the gigantic Vortex, the Heavenly Ox let out an earth-shattering roar. This roar spread throughout the Underground Palace, even escaping the underground area and reaching the land above.

Under that roar, a gigantic Heavenly Ox Phantom was forcibly dragged out from within the Vortex, and a terrifying pressure immediately enveloped the surroundings!

The moment the Heavenly Ox Phantom appeared, it shone with boundless light, capturing the attention of all the Cultivators below. Under a nearly suffocating shock, everyone saw the Heavenly Ox Phantom rapidly shrink, finally transforming into a set of Armor floating motionlessly above the Vortex!

The Armor was pitch black, emanating waves of Soul aura, and was extremely powerful!

The moment the Armor appeared, Yan Luan and the others' Primordial Spirits returned to their bodies. They opened their eyes and looked on with complicated expressions. Lü Wenran burst out laughing and strode straight toward the Armor.

"This Soul Armor of the Heavenly Ox's Three Acupoints belongs to me, Lü Wenran!"

But just as Lü Wenran was about to step forward, a long rainbow, moving with long rainbow speed, burst out from the Immortal Cave not far away, rushing straight toward the Armor!

"I disagree with the Soul Armor going to you!"
