CHAPTER 660: CHAPTER 117: DRAGON BLOOD ARRAY

"Fresh blood refers to human blood?" Upon hearing that Qian Luo needed human blood, the expressions of the people present varied, with heightened curiosity toward Qian Luo’s new Transmission Array.

Due to the importance of the transmission’s effectiveness, those with lesser cultivation levels such as Qing Zizhu, Shalman, and Chi Xi were naturally excluded.

The array was of utmost urgency, and naturally, Qian Luo’s own blood could not be used.

The remaining members, Long Rui, Yue Jinghua, Ji Yun, and that Dragon Knight glanced at each other.

"Ji Yun, we’ll use your blood," after scanning the group, Long Rui finally settled on Ji Yun.

Among the few, Ji Yun was pampered and had a sizable build. Moreover, having constantly nourished himself with precious Elixir Pills and spirit wood, his blood was definitely the most useful.

"Why my blood?" Ji Yun’s scalp tingled. They were about to create a massive array that would transmit seven or eight people. How much blood would that require? Did they really think he was a pig?

"Whose blood should we use, if not yours? Everyone else’s cultivation can’t compare to yours. Are you not a man?" Long Rui’s own cultivation was not much different from that of Ji Yun’s, but after all, she was a woman.

As for Yue Jinghua... her cultivation level was unclear to Long Rui.

However, she was aware of Yue Jinghua’s true identity, and it wouldn’t do to have a female sacrifice her blood.

"I am a man, but isn’t he one as well?" Ji Yun had seen Yue Jinghua’s skills. Although he wasn’t sure of the extent she excelled at concealing them, he was certain that her cultivation should be strong.

"Stop dithering and acting so squeamish," Yue Jinghua, impatient, interjected, "Qian Luo, use my blood. Begin the array formation immediately. The Transmission Array won’t hold for much longer."

Having said that, Yue Jinghua began to remove her clothes and armor, revealing her arm.

Her wrist was delicate and seemed to be made of clear crystal, much like a piece of exquisite jade. Looking at her skin, it was so smooth that not a single hair or pore could be seen.

Such a pair of arms, how could they

Ji Yun and Qing Zizhu, standing beside her, were taken aback.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yun stared at Yue Jinghua’s face, then bit his lip and said, "Fine, use my blood instead."

"How rare for you to finally man up, but it’s a pity, my blood is the most suitable," Yue Jinghua flashed a radiant smile and drew the Sky Shrieking Dagger across the crook of her elbow, making a cut.

Her words implied that her cultivation was the most superior among everyone present.

Could Yue Jinghua be a Dark Heavenly Master?

Bright red blood emerged and flowed from Yue Jinghua’s hand, a stream rich with Life Force.

Qian Luo narrowed her eyes, swiftly forming hand seals, using the blood for Dan Sha, and began inscribing new Dark Array patterns.

Under her hand, the Dan Sha Pen moved like a swimming dragon, transforming the fresh blood into Array Patterns imbued with powerful Dark Power.

As the Array Patterns gradually became complete, a newer, smaller-scaled, yet more concentrated Dark Array was taking shape.

"Blood as the medium, with the power of heaven and earth, turning blood into the array. Dragon Riding Array, to ride the winds, break through the waves, and traverse the Four Seas," Qian Luo at this moment had also transformed into her original form, with black hair and black eyes, and what appeared to be a pair of black wings on her back.

An Alien Race?!

But at this moment, nobody had the mind to pay attention to these details.

The Dark Array beneath their feet was now as blank as a piece of paper, on the brink of collapsing.

At Yue Jinghua’s wrist, the stream of blood continued to flow like a fountain.

As the blood drained away, Yue Jinghua felt the Dark Power within her also seeping out continuously.

She intended to take out the Green Liquid to replenish her depleted Dark Power, but her body stiffened up, frozen.

"Jinghua," Shalman, standing at the side, looked at Yue Jinghua with concern as she grew paler.

"Everyone, step into the Dragon Riding Array now," Qian Luo alerted loudly.

At that moment, from her pen, the blood-drawn dragon was already taking shape, poised as if to soar into the sky.

The group quickly entered the newly drawn Dark Array.

"Mistress, you should also enter the Dark Array immediately," Qian Luo, hovering midair, reminded Yue Jinghua.

Upon hearing this, the latter remained motionless as if in a trance.

"Jinghua, come in quickly," as the Transmission Array under Yue Jinghua’s feet grew more and more fragile, Shalman became anxious. Ignoring Qian Luo’s restraint, she attempted to pull Yue Jinghua into the formation.

But as soon as her hand touched Yue Jinghua,

The Blood Dragon under Qian Luo’s pen let out a dragon’s hum.

Amid the humming of the dragon, the already fragile Transmission Array instantly collapsed, and Dark Energy dissipated.

The surrounding scene changed abruptly, like a fleeting white steed, and like Thunder Flash across the sky.

In just an instant, Dark Light flickered.

"Boom--" Suddenly, the surroundings turned into a sea of clouds.

Everyone felt as if they were being yanked by a pair of giant hands and plummeted into an endless abyss.

The wind was howling in their ears, and the fresh air, carrying a salty taste, slapped their cheeks.

Fresh air? The Dragon Riding Array succeeded.

Realizing the transmission was successful, "Dragon Pattern," the Dragon Knights did not hesitate for a moment, promptly summoning their Sub-Asian Dragons.

Qian Luo also reacted immediately, grabbing Chi Xi with one hand and Shalman with the other.

"Jinghua!" Shalman immediately looked around, only to see a sea of clouds everywhere, and with Chi Xi’s help, they remained midair.

Beneath them was an endless azure ocean.

Next to her, Ji Yun’s Sub-Asian Dragon also caught the falling Long Rui, Qing Zizhu, and others.

Everyone was present, except Yue Jinghua was nowhere to be seen.

Remembering the moment right before the collapse of the Transmission Array, when Yue Jinghua seemed off, Shalman immediately felt a desperate urgency in her eyes.

"Look below," suddenly a figure was seen plummeting rapidly from the high sky.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yue Jinghua.

For some reason, Yue Jinghua did not show any reaction; she fell straight down like she was in a coma, plunging into the deep sea.

The speed was so fast that not even the Sub-Asian Dragons and Qian Luo could react in time.

At that moment, no one had a way to help; with their Cultivation, they simply couldn’t reach Yue Jinghua’s side in such a short time.

"Quick, save her," Shalman had already let out sobbing cries, hating her own helplessness.

"Damn it, why can’t I move my body, as if it is bound by ropes?" Yue Jinghua was also bitterly complaining.

When the Dragon Riding Array was activated just now, she felt as though she soared along with the dragon’s hum.

But her body still couldn’t move at all.

Watching as her body fell at a terrifying speed,

The severe cold sea wind brought by the high-speed fall was like blades upon blades.

If this continues, with no way to use Dark Energy, and unable to summon the Dark Beast from the Star Sea within her Sea of Consciousness, falling from the high sky into the sea, even the strongest body would smash to pieces.

"Could it be that I am to die like this?" Yue Jinghua cursed.

Suddenly, the severe cold sea wind beside her vanished, and her body sank into a bundle of warmth.

That warmth eased the unease in Yue Jinghua’s heart as well.

In the sky on the other side, everyone was also shocked.

Beside Yue Jinghua, that was...
