CHAPTER 1548: CHAPTER 1507 SEEKING DEATH

"Lu Chuan... isn’t it done yet?"

Inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda, the Tower Spirit furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled.

He had already secured five minutes for Lu Chuan, yet Lu Chuan had not completed the Blood Sacrifice Array formation. Could it really be as Empress Wu Zong said, that Lu Chuan chose to flee?

No, that couldn’t be.

No one understood Lu Chuan’s character better than she did, having spent so much time with him.

He never claimed to be a good person, but he also never initiated any heinous acts. His nature was very obstinate; once he decided on something, he would see it through no matter the cost. Lu Chuan would never choose betrayal at such a moment!

With this thought, the Tower Spirit extended her perception ability to search for Lu Chuan’s presence. Sure enough, in a certain area of the Sky-reaching Giant Tower, she detected Lu Chuan’s trace!

"I knew it, you rats lurking in the gutters wouldn’t pass up such a golden opportunity!"

Gazing at the three Spirit Dividing experts blocking him, Lu Chuan let out a long sigh.

"From the beginning, the target was only me, wasn’t it?"

"Master Han Qian was right. Just one look is enough to recognize your identity. You resemble that foolish father of yours quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s face instantly darkened.

"What did you say?"

"Didn’t hear me clearly? No issue! In the past, I personally struck your father with a slash on his back, and today, I’ll do the same to you!"

"You’re asking for death!"

Mentioning his father made Lu Chuan’s anger surge, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

With the thought merely surfacing, Lu Chuan’s arms appeared behind him, pressing heavily together.

"In this place, Spiritual Power is forbidden!"

As long as the influence range was narrowed, the intensity of the Precepts would rise a notch. Lu Chuan had long mastered the use of the Precepts, instantly sealing the Spiritual Power of all three!

It’s important to know that within the same realm, it was challenging for Lu Chuan to encounter an opponent who could match him. One reason was the existence of these Precepts.

Once he blocked the opponent’s Spiritual Power, with his physical strength enough to contend with Integration Realm experts, he usually gained a significant advantage!

At the moment the Precepts took effect, Lu Chuan lunged forward, turning into a shadowy blur and appearing before the man, his Golden Luster Stick smashing down heavily, a crisp sound echoing as the Three-foot Green Peak in the man’s hand fractured on impact!

"How... how is this possible!"

The man widened his eyes, a touch of shock crossing his mind!

However, how could Lu Chuan give him a chance to resist?

"You fool headed for death, I’ll fulfill your end right now!"

Lu Chuan’s sole reverse scale was his own family — his wife, parents, and grandfather. He could disregard everything else, but not his family, no one was allowed to harm them!

Darting forward, Lu Chuan transformed his palm into a fist, launching a blow that stirred fierce winds, sweeping away sand and stones!

"Lu Chuan! Don’t waste time, finish the fight quickly! The Empress’s power is recovering; Old Master Situ won’t hold out for long!"

The Tower Spirit’s urging voice echoed in his ear, and Lu Chuan gritted his teeth, abandoning the thought of torturing them. With a shake of his arms, he became a streak of light and swiftly cut down the three!

Yet although their physical bodies perished, the three’s Divine Souls swiftly fled. Lu Chuan initially wanted to pursue them to silence them completely, but after hesitating for a moment, he abandoned the idea and resumed marking the formation!

"Lu Chuan!"

"Coming! It’s finished!"

As the formation finally became complete, Lu Chuan clasped a spell in his mouth, and the formation immediately activated. That overwhelming murderous intent dyed the sky red, seemingly becoming the only tint in the world. The Ancient Demon Beasts enveloped within the formation seemed to sense danger and frantically tried to escape. But by now, it was far too late!

Spiritual Power gushed from Lu Chuan’s body, constantly pouring into the formation. In the next moment, Lu Chuan watched as those slightly weaker Demon Beasts suddenly exploded, turning into a mass of blood mist rising continuously. More and more Demon Beasts became sacrifices, and in the sky, a Blood Lake seemed to condense, reflecting like a mirror parallel to the heavens!

The pungent smell of blood permeated the air, and seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath!

"What... what on earth is this?!"

"Damn it! It’s actually a Blood Sacrifice Array?!"

Empress Wu Zong naturally recognized the function of this formation and immediately wanted to destroy it. But how could Old Master Situ be just an empty name?

"Trying to hinder my grandson-in-law? You must get past me first!"

The old master shouted, and Yin Yang Power swirled from above, manifesting the Heaven and Earth Grinding Plate, blocking the path of Empress Wu Zong!

"Get out of the way, don’t block my path!"

Seeing this, the Empress clasped a spell and transformed into a stream of light, crashing heavily into the Heaven and Earth Grinding Plate!

Unfortunately, even with the Empress’s strong physical body, without sufficient strength, she couldn’t unleash matching combat power. After several attempts, she still couldn’t break through successfully!

"Damn it, it’s too late now!"

Watching the Blood Sacrifice formation, which nearly created a life void area, the Empress’s face became increasingly grim.

Using countless Ancient Demon Beasts as sacrifices, Lu Chuan’s strength would surely surge because of it!

"It’s begun."

Gazing at the blood lake in mid-air, the Tower Spirit finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Chuan was seen stepping onto the clouds, voluntarily plunging into the blood lake, allowing violent demonic power to continuously pour into his body!

This was undoubtedly a prolonged and painful process. Fortunately, once the Blood Sacrifice Array was activated, it could no longer be forcibly stopped by external force. Even if Empress Wu Zong were let loose now, she wouldn’t be able to stop Lu Chuan.

Feeling the demonic power condensing within, Lu Chuan’s face instantly flushed, as if countless sharp daggers were continuously cutting and tearing his flesh, that feeling of being neither painful nor itchy was most excruciating!

Lu Chuan incessantly scratched his own flesh until his skin turned raw and bloody, and yet the itchiness still didn’t subside!

However, this was merely the beginning.

The blood-colored lake began to contract suddenly, Spiritual Power and demonic power flooding into Lu Chuan’s body frenziedly, continually destroying and reorganizing his body. The drilling pain seemed never-ending, and through countless cycles of destruction and rebirth, Lu Chuan even began to feel numb.

Of course, the cost of enduring pain was that Lu Chuan’s realm also progressed rapidly!

In just a quarter of an hour, Lu Chuan had already broken through to the Soul Division Seventh Stage and was even steadily advancing!

It must be known that the Blood Lake had only shrunk by less than a third of its area!

This meant that before the Blood Lake was entirely depleted, Lu Chuan completely had a chance to reach the Nine Levels of Divided Spirit, and supplemented with the Blood Pill, he might even be able to break into the Integration Realm!

Noticing Lu Chuan’s aura, Empress Wu Zong’s face turned dark as water.

"Tower Spirit, is this your strategy? You still win no matter the massacre, how are you any better than me?"

"I never claimed to champion justice. Have I not caused enough slaughter? Just adding another tally, it doesn’t matter. I can bear it!"
