Chapter 709

His speed of attack was too fast; even Lin Moyu could not react in time.

No one could have expected him to strike at his own kin.

If General Wang Lin had not reacted quickly enough, Senior Ye Hao would be dead right now.

Jiang Yi, at level 98, had already crossed the threshold into the Half-step Super God realm; with his command over Laws, killing Senior Ye Hao would be effortless.

Senior Ye Hao said coldly, "You are not God Yi. Who exactly are you?"

Jiang Yi spilled all the blood onto the ground and chuckled, "I am Jiang Yi, the God Yi your ancestors spoke of."

Senior Ye Hao roared, "Impossible! The God Yi my ancestors spoke of was willing to shed his blood and sacrifice his life for humanity; it is absolutely impossible for him to raise a hand against his own kin."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Jiang Yi let out a series of sinister laughs, his entire demeanor changing as he exuded a frigid aura. "That is because you know nothing of this exalted one."

"Not only do you not understand this exalted one, but your ancestors did not understand me either."

"Of course, I don't know much about you all either."

"During the great battle back then, if that coward Ye Boran hadn't run away, I wouldn't have died in battle."

"Did you really think I would fight to the death for humanity? I had no choice!"

"You don't understand! None of you understand!"

Jiang Yi's expression became increasingly ferocious, and he laughed wildly, the sound shaking the heavens.

Lin Moyu suddenly realized he had missed something.

The records stated that Jiang Yi had accidentally obtained the Extraterrestrial Magic Gold.

But it didn't say when he obtained it.

Magic Gold possessed the property of bewitching the mind; only top-tier Professionals could resist it.

If Jiang Yi had obtained the Magic Gold before his Third Awakening…

Did that mean Jiang Yi had not been normal since then?

The impression Jiang Yi gave of being a Half-step Super God made people subconsciously ignore the time he had obtained the Magic Gold.

"Wrong, completely wrong!"

"This guy has been acting. From the moment I entered the secret realm and he made soul contact with me, he has been acting."

"I was too weak at the time and didn't notice anything unusual."

"Antares must have known, but he didn't say anything."

Combining this with the few sentences Jiang Yi had just said, Lin Moyu suddenly understood everything.

Jiang Yi was never the God Yi who sacrificed himself for the greater good of the race.

He had his own agenda, and as for what that goal was, it would be revealed soon.

The blood spilled onto the ground was quickly absorbed.

Then, a blood-red formation emerged.

The space around Lin Moyu distorted, and Meng Anwen appeared beside him with Shenxia Tower, accompanied by Yan Kuangsheng.

Lin Moyu had just sent them a message, and they had rushed over immediately.

Seeing the formation, Meng Anwen's expression changed slightly. "Is this a Blood Formation?"

Lin Moyu asked, "What is a Blood Formation?"

Meng Anwen said, "It is a very evil formation. It absorbs the blood of powerful individuals and converts the energy within, allowing one to level up rapidly."

Lin Moyu knew that there was always a price to pay for gain. While leveling up quickly, one would inevitably have to pay a price.

Meng Anwen continued, "As long as there is enough blood from powerful individuals, one can level up very quickly, even reaching the Third Awakening in a single night."

"But the aftereffects are also very severe. Some people who used the Blood Formation either went insane or exploded and died. Even those who succeeded were unable to make any progress for the rest of their lives, their foundations shattered."

"The Blood Formation appeared a long time ago and was recorded, but it later disappeared. How could there be a Blood Formation here?"

Jiang Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Meng Anwen. "You are quite a good God-level Formation Master, and you've reached level 96. My efforts to save you last time weren't wasted."

As his voice fell, the formation roared into life, and a blood-red light shot into the sky!

Chapter 689: Jiang Yi Never Existed, Never

A curtain of blood-red light shot into the sky, breaking through the original formation of Fortress No. 9 and soaring into the firmament, dyeing the dim sky of the Yuan Battlefield blood-red.

Suddenly, a nauseating smell of blood filled the air.

Meng Anwen's expression changed drastically. "This is not just one formation!"

In his perception, as the Blood Formation in Fortress No. 9 activated, the ones in No. 8 Fortress, Fortress No. 7…

Every fortress had a Blood Formation being activated.

Fortress No. 9 was not the only Blood Formation; it was merely the source.

There were Blood Formations in every fortress, yet he, a God-level Formation Master, had not discovered them for so many years.

This could only mean one thing: the level of the person who set up these formations was far above his own.

Jiang Yi stood in the center of the Blood Formation, licking his lips with an expression of enjoyment. "How is it? Are you shocked?"

"The reason you didn't discover the existence of the Blood Formations is simply that your level is too low."

"However, it is too early to be shocked; there are even more shocking things to come."

Jiang Yi stomped his foot violently. A thunderous roar resounded, and the heaven and earth shook violently.

Outside the fortress, beams of blood-red light shot into the sky, and formation after formation emerged from the earth of the Yuan Battlefield.

Blood Formations… there were Blood Formations everywhere.

As far as the eye could see, the entire Yuan Battlefield had been dyed blood-red.

Meng Anwen's expression was extremely ugly. He communicated with the formations in the fortress, and he could see everything most clearly.

There were Blood Formations both inside and outside the fortress, with a massive number of them covering a large area.

Countless Blood Formations connected into one, containing unimaginable, powerful energy.

All this energy was the accumulation of the Yuan Battlefield. Countless powerful individuals and monsters had died here, and their blood had been silently swallowed and accumulated by the Blood Formations, only to erupt at this moment.

Jiang Yi laughed even more crazily and unscrupulously. "Do you see? Do you see!"

"A total of 999 Blood Formations. After all these years, you actually didn't notice them."

"Too weak, you are truly too weak!"

"You humans are truly incompetent!"

Meng Anwen said coldly, "Jiang Yi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Jiang Yi did not answer Meng Anwen but muttered to himself, "I should have achieved the Super God status 600 years ago. It's all the fault of those idiots in the Abyss, and a few cowardly humans."

"I was besieged back then. If they hadn't run away without authorization, I would have collected enough blood long ago."

"Blame yourselves, it's all your fault!"

"Fortunately, I am immortal and indestructible, and I left a contingency plan, which is why I can return as a king today."

"After today, I will become a Super God and become the leader of this human race."

Meng Anwen said in a deep voice, "You are using the power of the Blood Formations to advance; you may not succeed."

"Short-sighted fool, what do you know!" Jiang Yi shouted. "You don't understand the Blood Formations at all. The Blood Formations were never meant to serve you. I am their creator, and only I can control the Blood Formations!"

Meng Anwen was shocked again; Jiang Yi's words revealed another layer of information.

Meng Anwen continued, "The Blood Formations first appeared 800 years ago, and Jiang Yi wasn't even born then. Who exactly are you?"

Jiang Yi laughed loudly. "Who I am? Once you merge with me and become my clone, I will naturally tell you."

"A level 96 Formation Master, although not great, is good enough."

"Once you become my clone, I will naturally have a way to help you reach the Super God Level."

Lin Moyu felt something was wrong; Jiang Yi was talking too much. He whispered, "Teacher, he is stalling for time!"

Meng Anwen also realized this and shouted, "Attack!"

Yan Kuangsheng and Bai Yiyuan attacked almost simultaneously.

Yan Kuangsheng swung his long blade, and a black murderous aura, carrying the Law of Slaughter, swept down.

Bai Yiyuan's iron fists also descended from the sky.

Meng Anwen pointed his finger, and the Shenxia Tower shed light as he waved his hand to form a formation; ten thousand weapons flew together, bombarding Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi disdained the attacks of the three, not even bothering to move.

He stood in the center of the Blood Formation, shrouded by the pillar of blood-red light, which acted like defensive armor.

The three's attacks landed on the blood-red pillar of light like a clay ox entering the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

Jiang Yi said coldly, "It's useless. With your meager attack power, you can't even break the Blood Formation, let alone deal with me."

"Just obediently wait for me to reach the Super God Level, and then I will finish you off one by one."

At this moment, Jiang Yi looked at Lin Moyu beside Meng Anwen. "Little guy, I remember now. It seems you were the one who helped me bring the Dragon Pearl to Antares."

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, it would have taken a long time for me to resurrect."

"Antares is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that it only cares about transactions and won't interfere with matters here. You can only pray for your own survival."

Meng Anwen and the other two attacked repeatedly, but it had no effect at all.

The Blood Formation was like a turtle shell; it was indeed unbreakable.

Lin Moyu's eyes showed deep thought. He analyzed every word Jiang Yi said, looking for the key points.

The Blood Formations first appeared 800 years ago, when Jiang Yi was not yet born.

This indicated that the Blood Formations were unrelated to Jiang Yi.

Yet the Jiang Yi before him claimed to be the creator of the Blood Formations.

Lin Moyu thought of the Magic Gold. He kept referring to himself as "this exalted one"; this "exalted one" did not refer to Jiang Yi, but to the Magic Gold.

"Jiang Yi wasn't bewitched by the Magic Gold; he was possessed by it!"

This thought suddenly popped into Lin Moyu's mind, and he felt his guess could not be wrong.

"Jiang Yi was no longer Jiang Yi the moment he obtained the Magic Gold; it was the Magic Gold."

"It's even possible that the Magic Gold sought out Jiang Yi. How could there be so many accidental acquisitions in the world?"

"The Magic Gold comes from outside the world; this must be true. The Detection Spell would not lie, and this cannot be hidden."

"It is possible that the soul of a powerful individual was hiding inside the Magic Gold and came here. It is also possible that the Magic Gold is a unique race itself."

"Antares once said that the outside world is full of wonders, and there is no need to be surprised by anything."

Lin Moyu's mind suddenly opened up, and he guessed various possibilities.

Finally, he got the answer.

The Blood Formations were evil and had severe aftereffects, and these aftereffects acted upon the soul.

But for the Jiang Yi before him, the Blood Formations did him no harm.

In that era, there were constant battles, which indeed made it easier to collect the blood of powerful individuals than it was now.

And precisely because he needed to collect the blood of Demon King-level beings, Jiang Yi had always charged to the front in every battle.

He was not fearless of sacrifice for the sake of humanity at all.

He was purely doing it for himself.

Furthermore, he had secretly buried the Blood Formations in the Yuan Battlefield and the fortresses.

All just to soar into the sky and reach the Super God Level directly.

Yet, in the end, because of one failure, he had wasted hundreds of years in vain.
