Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 188: Facing Foundation Building Late Stage, the Soul Burial Formation

The influence of the Bagua·Heaven and Earth Domain on the Guhuo Bird is immense, just like how it is the most fundamental and important spiritual energy for cultivators.

Entering Zhong Cang's Bagua Domain, it was as if she had entered a place without any spiritual energy. Although she could still absorb some spiritual energy, each time she did so, it required several times more effort than before.

In this situation, the spiritual energy within her body was gradually diminishing, and her spells lost their resonance with spiritual energy, causing their power to decrease several times over.

Just this alone was unbearable for her.

In addition, the wind hindered her swift movement, water vapor gathered towards her wings, attempting to increase her weight... These abnormalities were all signs of the rejection from heaven and earth.

Faced with this situation, while she was shocked, her killing intent towards Zhong Cang also surged.

"Such an extraordinary talent, this person must not be allowed to live!"

The Guhuo Bird had killing intent, and coincidentally, Zhong Cang... also had it.

"Roar!"

"Yo!"

On the small island in the lake, as the Bagua Heaven and Earth Domain unfolded, golden, red, green, and yellow lights appeared from Zhong Cang's chest and abdomen.

These four colored lights, the moment they appeared in the outside world, transformed into four Spirit Beasts: ape, tiger, deer, and turtle.

Subsequently, these four Spirit Beasts resonated with the previously summoned Dragonfish.

"Hum..."

The resonance of the Five Elements caused the spiritual energy in the world to gather towards this place. The bodies of the four Spirit Beasts rapidly absorbed the spiritual energy, expanding and growing at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, five thirty-meter-tall Spirit Beast deities appeared beside Zhong Cang.

"Kill her!"

"Roar!"

"Yo!"

As Zhong Cang gave the order, the five Spirit Beasts simultaneously roared angrily towards the Guhuo Bird.

Amidst the tiger's roar and the dragon's chant, the four Spirit Beasts either leaped up (ape), flew with the wind (dragonfish), or summoned lightning and thunder (spirit deer), all attacking the Guhuo Bird together.

The Guhuo Bird naturally did not fear this attack.

"You are seeking your own death!"

"Squawk!"

With a mournful cry, the blood feathers around the Guhuo Bird burst, turning into streams of blood blades that shot towards the five Spirit Beasts like a torrential rain.

As for herself, she transformed into a half-human, half-bird monster, wielding a blood spear and attacking Zhong Cang, who was protected by the giant turtle.

The four Spirit Beasts naturally would not be willing when their master was under attack.

Among them, the Flame Giant Ape was the most ferocious.

Faced with the incoming blood feathers, it did not resist but instead had flames burning all over its body, even internally.

[Fire Consumes All]

"Boom!"

The burning spiritual energy caused its body to continuously shrink, but under the explosion of spiritual energy, its speed and strength both increased dramatically.

In this situation, it leaped up like a shooting star and threw a punch towards the Guhuo Bird.

"Bang!"

The powerful punch even shattered the air.

Such an attack had to be treated with caution even by the Guhuo Bird.

"Shh..."

The blood spear, like a dragon, suddenly thrusts forward.

With the power of the Law Weapon and the fiery heart, the spear of the Guhuo Bird pierces through the fist of the Explosive Ape.

However, before it could show any joy, with a roar accompanied by the Explosive Ape's anger, it disregards the injury to its arm and smashes its fist onto the Guhuo Bird.

"Bang!"

With the boost of flames, this powerful punch sends the Guhuo Bird flying hundreds of meters.

Because of its overwhelming force, this punch even creates a sonic boom around the flying Guhuo Bird.

This is a supersonic punch.

"Splurt..."

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Heavily injured by the ape, the Guhuo Bird spits out a mouthful of blood, and her expression becomes even more furious.

However, before it can unleash its anger or even stabilize its body, a series of attacks fall upon it.

These attacks are not from the Explosive Ape, as it is not that monstrous to instantly catch up with a flying enemy while knocking them away.

But it has teammates.

"Boom!"

The Spirit Deer walks elegantly, but on its antlers, there are dazzling flashes of lightning, constantly flickering.

At a certain moment, as the Spirit Deer lifts its hooves and slams them down, the dazzling lightning, like a thunderbolt, rushes straight towards the Guhuo Bird.

The swift thunderous strike adds insult to injury for the Guhuo Bird.

But this threat is not the most severe. The flying Dragon Fish and the Tiger with wings are soaring in the sky, accelerating desperately.

At a certain moment, when they reach their maximum speed, they charge towards the Guhuo Bird from the left and right.

"Roar!" "Howl!"

The sound of the tiger's roar and the dragon's roar make the Guhuo Bird feel the danger. It knows very well that if it is caught between the two, it will definitely be injured.

Therefore, it doesn't care about its own injuries and forcefully activates the Blood Ignition Secret Technique, preparing to escape from this attack.

However, just as it activates the secret technique, a "sizzle" sound is heard, and sudden flashes of electricity appear all around its body.

This electricity resists the demonic energy that surrounds its body, and more importantly, the lightning carries paralysis, causing its body to stiffen for a moment.

Although, in an instant, the Guhuo Bird, relying on its beastly body, quickly recovers.

But in this short moment, the flying Dragon Fish and the Tiger, accelerating and intersecting, fiercely collide with it.

"Bang!"

The collision from both sides causes the Guhuo Bird to spew out a mouthful of blood, worsening its injuries.

However, it must be said that being able to grow to Foundation Building Late Stage and transform into a Demonic Beast, this Perfected Being Guhuo Bird is indeed powerful.

Being heavily injured only stimulates its ferocity.

"You all die!"

In a roar, its long spear continuously thrusts like a shower of stars, poking several holes in the large bodies of the Dragon Fish and the Tiger.

Blood blades also surround it, madly slashing at the Dragon Fish and the Tiger.

In an instant, the Dragon Fish and the Tiger are covered in wounds.

Even the Spirit Deer walking leisurely nearby doesn't fare well, being cut dozens of times by the blood blades.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Fish and the Tiger are not human but energy beings, which weakens their attacks and defenses.

But as energy beings, they have no weaknesses.

The continuous attacks only deplete some of the energy of the Dragon Fish and the Tiger.

And because the five Spirit Beasts have been present all along, the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array has been continuously operating.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged towards this place.

Due to Zhong Cang's Heavenly Heart resonating with the heavens and earth, the spiritual energy attracted by the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array was particularly abundant.

At this moment, under Zhong Cang's control, these spiritual energies, like raindrops, continuously flowed into the bodies of the Dragon Fish, Giant Tiger, and Exploding Ape, constantly repairing their bodies.

In this way, the bodies of the five Spirit Beasts were sustained, and the fierce battle unfolded in the sky.

The Monkey God was furious, burning everything within itself, launching a frenzied attack on the Phoenix.

This burning, even with the replenishment of Zhong Cang's spiritual energy, still caused its body to continuously shrink.

However, despite the heavy losses, its attacks were also the most dominant.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Every punch it threw required the Phoenix to exert all its strength to withstand.

The Giant Tiger was sharp, with its sharp teeth, it could directly break through the Phoenix's defense.

As for the Dragon Fish, it entangled without equal.

Forming its body with water flow, it possessed the characteristic of water flowing even when the blade is drawn.

The Phoenix's attacks, whether it was the Blood Blade's cutting or the Blood Spear's piercing, could not cause serious injuries to the Dragon Fish.

Instead, the Dragon Fish could tightly entangle the Phoenix with its body of rushing water, making it difficult for the Phoenix to escape.

The Spirit Deer was the most serene, with electric light emanating from its antlers, constantly launching thunder attacks on the Phoenix from a distance.

Moreover, its lightning could also form a connection with the Dragon Fish.

When the Spirit Deer's lightning struck the Dragon Fish, the Dragon Fish's body of rushing water would be filled with thunder and lightning.

In this situation, its strike of the Divine Dragon's Tail was no weaker than the Exploding Ape burning itself.

The four Spirit Beasts each had their own characteristics, tightly entangling the Phoenix Perfected Being, making it unable to break free and instead suffer endless attacks.

What made it even more angry and desperate was that although its attacks could injure these Spirit Beasts, the constantly gathering Five Elements spiritual energy was also constantly repairing their injuries.

"If this continues... I will die!"

Thinking of this, panic and horror appeared in the Phoenix's heart, and then, without hesitation, she shouted towards the Bai Ling Perfected Being for help.

"Bai Ling, save me!"

...

She was seeking help, and the Bai Ling Perfected Being did indeed enter the Bagua Heavenly Realm.

However, compared to saving her, the Bai Ling Perfected Being wanted more to kill Zhong Cang.

He did not forget his main purpose this time, and more importantly, he had a premonition that letting Zhong Cang go would lead to something bad happening.

"Kill!"

"Hehehe!"

"So cold..."

"Why is it me who died..."

"Wuwuwu..."

With the command of the Bai Ling Perfected Being and waving the Evil Ghost Banner in his hand, with five evil ghosts at the forefront, hundreds of demonic spirits rushed towards Zhong Cang.

He was a Soul Master who enslaved evil ghosts.

However, just as he had anticipated, something bad happened.

While the Five Viscera God entangled the Phoenix Perfected Being and before the Bai Ling Perfected Being arrived, Zhong Cang was not just sitting idly.

He had been setting up the Earth Burial Soul Calming Array.

During the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon Zhong Cang a reward, which was to replicate the image of a Formation Master from the river of time.

Subsequently, the Heavenly Dao projected this image into Zhong Cang's sea of consciousness.

If Zhong Cang could fully absorb the experience and insights of this Formation Master, there was a certain probability that he would directly become a Formation Master.

Although, after advancing, he was immediately teleported and engaged in consecutive battles, which prevented Zhong Cang from having the time to absorb the insights of this Formation Master.

However, even in the short moment of the ceremony, Zhong Cang gained countless benefits.

Relying on the acceleration of his thinking through enlightenment, Zhong Cang obtained the methods for arranging dozens of single-attribute formations.

The Burial Ground Soul Calming Formation was one of them.

When the Hundred Spirit Evil Ghosts rushed over, with the help of the Giant Turtle, Zhong Cang's formation was also completed just in time.

...

"Cang..."

In a voice filled with ancient and desolate sighs, the central part of the small island in the middle of the lake under Zhong Cang's feet suddenly rose up.

The raised soil lifted Zhong Cang into the air, and the small island in the middle of the lake transformed into... a huge tomb due to the change in the soil.

"Come back!"

At the moment the huge tomb rose, the Perfected Being of the Hundred Spirit felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he was being targeted, and thus, he quickly called for his enslaved soul to return.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust—burial!"

With Zhong Cang's command, the huge tomb built according to the mountains, water, and earth veins instantly generated countless suction forces.

Under that suction force, the countless souls in the sky were like little cats being grabbed by the back of their necks, one by one, obediently being sucked into the huge tomb.

Many souls, including the five evil ghosts, had some resistance.

However, as Zhong Cang opened his mouth and suddenly sucked, the Qi Eaters were activated!

In an instant, countless five-colored radiance was sucked out of the bodies of the five evil ghosts by Zhong Cang.

With the absence of the five-colored radiance's protection, their aura immediately weakened several times.

Without the support of the Five Elements' power, these five evil ghosts could no longer resist the suction force of the huge tomb. Like obedient cats, they were collected into the huge tomb.

From this, it can be seen that the Burial Ground Soul Calming Formation restrains souls.

And after deploying the Bagua Heaven and Earth Domain, arranging various formations against the enemy according to the situation and terrain, this is also the most correct way to use this technique.

...

"Bastard, give my souls back!"

As Zhong Cang seemed to have realized something, and as he watched his enslaved ghosts being buried by the huge tomb, and the souls rapidly weakening under the burial, the Perfected Being of the Hundred Spirit was almost driven mad with anger.

In his fury, he charged straight towards Zhong Cang.

However, halfway through, his footsteps came to a halt.

A shocking scene appeared before his eyes.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

As Zhong Cang stretched out his hands and raised them flatly, it seemed as if countless depth charges were simultaneously detonating under the lake.

Continuous explosions caused the vast waves to be blasted into the sky, and countless water columns shot up into the air.

For a moment, the majestic lake water obscured the entire sky.
