Chapter 240: Chapter 190: Array of the Grand Moon and the Celestial Cover

Early on, when liberating the Skull Tower, Yan Qing realized that players acquiring the Celestial Calamity Karmic Force would inevitably lead to the complete destruction of the Secret Realm.

After all, the elite monsters and Demon Kings inside wouldn’t respawn, what purpose does the Secret Realm have then? Keep it to increase the server burden?

No wonder Yan Qing heard colleagues complaining about the massive workload of the Calamity version. With the Secret Realms gone, they have to immediately provide new ones, otherwise, wouldn’t there be no dungeons to raid in the game? Their production must meet the consumption of nearly a million players... this is simply an impossible task, and Yan Qing was curious about how they would solve it.

No wonder Si Wuxie is considered a Demonic Messenger, this alone is enough to pin him to the pillar of shame forever. Even if new Secret Realms are generated, they certainly won’t be in the same place, meaning Shu Dao Mountain has forever lost a Secret Realm.

It wouldn’t matter if it’s somewhere like Shu Dao Mountain, but what if it were the Three Mountain Secret Realm in the Ping City Military Camp? Or the Jingxin Small Residence controlled by the Shang Family? Or the First-Turn and Second-Turn Secret Realms by Xuanwu Lake?

Destroying a Secret Realm is equivalent to destroying the foundation of the clans and military towns, enough to sink any major force.

"No wonder the deeds of Si Wuxie are deeply shrouded, it’s because he wielded the Power of Calamity..." Blood Phase mused, "The solution along the way was probably the correct method to destroy the Secret Realm to obtain the Power of Calamity, but I haven’t obtained such power..."

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Prajna and then at Rabbit Heroine. Prajna remained expressionless with hands joined, while Rabbit Heroine was naturally blocked by the fierce Pharmacist’s Wish in front.

What Blood Phase could think of, everyone else could too. Along the way, no one exerted more effort than Rabbit Heroine and Prajna, only they could permanently reduce the vitality of the demons. Adding in that stone in Si Wuxie’s relics that no one else knew about, but only they desired, it was clear the heirs of the Power of Calamity were the two of them.

"If you were outside the mountain, you would surely be hunted by the righteous path to the ends of the earth. Everywhere you pass would become barren, and anyone associated with you would die without a grave." Blood Phase suddenly laughed, "It’s a pity, here on Shu Dao Mountain, there are only selfish Demonic Messengers."

"I rather think we’re all in big trouble," Beiyou said lazily. "Outsiders will surely believe that we five have collectively inherited Si Wuxie’s legacy."

"Not my problem. Next, I’ll either establish my Foundation or hide away, unaffected by the storm, unlike you." He looked playfully at Pharmacist’s Wish and Rabbit Heroine, "Perhaps in the future, I’ll hear of the bloodshed you cause... that’s real good news. Even inheriting Si Wuxie’s legacy didn’t make me this happy. Even without my intervention, you’ll live difficult lives."

Pharmacist’s Wish’s face darkened, but she knew Blood Phase’s words might very well become reality. There’s no need for them to leak anything; the disappearance of the Corpse Bone Forest Secret Realm would eventually get out, and everyone would realize Si Wuxie’s heir appeared, wielding the Power of Calamity, using Secret Realms as promotion resources.

By that time, the five of them would become everyone’s target, with all forces hostile to them. The only solution to break this impasse is to establish a Foundation!

Pharmacist’s Wish made up her mind, next she would first take Rabbit Heroine to lie low, find a Third-Turn Secret Realm to hone her kill moves, quickly push her Qi Blood Divine Soul to the Peak of the Third Transformation, then forcibly establish a Foundation by absorbing the Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends!

Though the success rate isn’t high, she simply doesn’t have the time to slowly look for a Foundation Establishment Pill, only by seeking life through death can she acquire enough strength to protect herself and her sister before danger strikes!

Funny enough, Pharmacist’s Wish came to Shu Dao Mountain for Foundation Establishment resources, now that she has the resources, she lost the chance to develop. Yet she felt no discouragement, rather her fighting spirit burned even more fiercely. She’s the type to become more motivated by pressure, and now she has her sister to fight alongside. What could she possibly complain about?

As they stepped out from the bulwark, the early morning sunlight stung their eyes slightly. Everyone just realized they hadn’t been in the Corpse Bone Forest for long, it wasn’t even time for lunch yet. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Speaking of which, we haven’t had a meal together in days." Prajna said, "How about a banquet before we part ways?"

"No thanks, just looking at your faces makes me lose my appetite." Blood Phase shook his head, "Don’t misunderstand, I don’t specifically mean those two little girls, you two are just as hard to look at."

"I understand, after all, we’re all bathed in bloodlight in your eyes," Beiyou said, "So you’ve probably been having your meals with your brother’s corpse, right? When you’re short on dishes, you can even pick a maggot off your brother’s body to eat."

Pharmacist’s Wish and Rabbit Heroine also refused the offer. In fact, these past days they’ve been eating takeout ordered by Rabbit Heroine from Jiangnan City. Not only have they avoided the camp’s food, they haven’t even drunk the camp’s water. They wouldn’t have a meal with the three Great Guardians either.

No one responded to the suggestion, Prajna didn’t insist, gently sighing, "Oh well, this poor monk just thought that our meeting was a fate in itself, parting like this feels a bit regrettable..."

"Boss Beiyou!"

A Demonic Messenger rushed towards them, Beiyou raised an eyebrow. Normally, while they’re in the Corpse Bone Forest, any issue should be handled by the subordinates. If someone was sent over, it meant something had come up that the subordinates couldn’t decide.

"Did Dongxing send you? What’s wrong?"

"He..." The Demonic Messenger glanced at Blood Phase, looking a bit hesitant. Beiyou stood between him and Blood Phase, sternly saying, "Speak up!"

"Someone saw Hongfeng bringing three strangers up the mountain, all cloaked and unrecognizable, we don’t know who they are!"

Hongfeng is the subordinate Blood Phase recently promoted, managing affairs in Changle City. Previously, this position was held by Zhong Ji, but for well-known reasons, Zhong Ji can now only dine with Blood Phase.

At this juncture of unlocking Foundation Establishment inheritance, with Blood Phase’s most capable subordinate suddenly bringing unknown outsiders up the mountain, what could it possibly be for? Prajna immediately became alert, standing beside Beiyou, and drew his Zen Staff to subtly face Blood Phase, while Pharmacist’s Wish pulled Rabbit Heroine aside, preparing to leave this place of trouble.

Blood Phase looked at Prajna and Beiyou expressionlessly, his hands now wearing blood-covered gloves entwined in black mist, gripping a longsword glowing with a dark red light. He usually fought demons barehanded, only using the longsword when dealing with Rabbit Heroine.

"Blood Phase," Beiyou turned his head to look, "You—"

Just then, a sharp whistle echoed across Shu Dao Mountain camp. Before anyone could react, an arrow suddenly flew over the entire camp, over the bulwark sealing the Corpse Bone Forest, accurately landing in front of the Corpse Bone Forest Secret Realm entrance!

Then a clear, crisp, and ancient voice echoed throughout the camp:

"Passage through this place is forbidden."

An indescribable, unseen, and irresistible overwhelming force enveloped the entire camp. Everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts as if shackles weighed down their bodies, even the sunlight turned chilly. Only Yan Qing knew clearly what had happened because Rabbit Heroine’s health bar showed a hair-raising negative status:

"Taiyin Huagai Array"

"Source: Hunting Bow of Inconstancy"

"Source: Divine Skill: Drawing Dungeon"

"Duration: Permanent, until the spell is halted"

"Effect: Prevents all beings inside and outside the array from passing through. Enhanced by ’Drawing Dungeon,’ all teleport items, tools, and divine skills cannot penetrate this array."

In a moment of stunned silence, Blood Phase suddenly charged toward Prajna and Beiyou, while Prajna immediately swung the Zen Staff in a hard sweep!
