Chapter 458: Blood Array and Sacrifice of Fatty

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas StudiosThat person who was going through tribulation seemed to be in great pain. Within less than twenty lightning strikes, his skin had already opened up and flesh was showing. The dharma artifacts around him were all consumed. He couldn’t even sustain enough spirit qi to resist the thunder from the sky.Lonemoon felt a bit disgusted. I thought he was supposed to pass it smoothly? Looking at the way he was, if he didn’t have any other way, he probably won’t manage ten tribulation lightnings, before he was smashed to dust.Indeed, within less than five lightning strikes, he was already unable to sustain himself. He collapsed on the ground, the spirit qi in his body started to dissipate, and even the Nascent Soul in his body showed signs of disappearing. Another tribulation lightning cut through the sky, and it was about to completely destroy his Nascent Soul.Suddenly, red light shone from the ground, and the array underneath his feet was instantly activated. Blinding red light shot up towards the sky, directly blocking the lightning which was going to take his life.“Eh?” Lonemoon was stunned. “Chef, what’s this array?”“An ordinary protective array.” Chef nodded and responded. He started frowning as well.Was it an illusion? Why did the lightning from the array just now seem to reduce the power of the tribulation lightning?Before they could think carefully, one lightning followed by another came down, but all of them were blocked by the protective array, and did great harm to the person within. The cultivator undergoing tribulation had a chance to rest, and the injuries on his body started recovering with visible speed. He was using the spirit qi from the tribulation lightning to mend his body. In a short while, those horrible wounds on him had pretty much disappeared.After a total of 81 tribulation lightnings were completed, tribulation clouds started scattering, and many bright, colorful light rays shone from above. Thick spirit qi filled the entire Divine Imperial Sect, and the cultivation of the cultivator in the middle rose right to Soul Formation.“Look at the sky!” Someone suddenly cried out in surprise. “It’s a vision! A vision of heaven and earth!”Lonemoon and Yi Qing also looked up subconsciously. Indeed, they saw that the sky which was originally filled with colorful clouds suddenly showed a faint shadow in the shape of a dragon. It stayed in the sky above the sect, emitting a faint golden light.Yi Qing’s mouth twitched. He frowned somewhat awkwardly.It was a vision of heaven and earth indeed. Such visions would only appear when people with deep karma pass through tribulation. It is the affirmation of Heavenly Dao to the person passing through tribulation. When the spirit qi in the tribulation lightning was thick enough, such that it surpassed the level of spirit qi and even immortal qi, with signs of turning into God Power, only then would faint shadows of the divine race be seen.But the person who was just experiencing tribulation had no amazingly great karma on him, and even his successful passing of the tribulation was partly by luck. Yet he still triggered the vision of heaven and earth? There is really something wrong with the nomological force of this small world after all!That vision of dragon appeared very briefly, disappearing within less than five seconds. At the same time, a wave of special spirit qi that was light and fresh swept over. Immediately, large patches of flowers bloomed all over Divine Imperial Sect, as though spring had come. There was a big bush of flowers sprouting beside Lonemoon’s feet.Those top-tier cultivators on the high platform to the right had already walked together into the square and started congratulating the cultivator who just successfully ascended. In a moment, many people started gathering around them again.Just as Lonemoon was about to say ‘hurry and find Fatty’, Shen Ying who was eating melon seeds while watching suddenly stopped.She stopped for a moment, looked at the seeds in her hand and said, “Do you… smell something?”Lonemoon took a breath subconsciously, but breathed in a nose-full of pollen. “Cough cough… what smell?” He only smelled pollen of mixed flavors.But Yi Qing’s face suddenly darkened. He spoke in a cold voice, “Blood!”What?Lonemoon was shocked. He let his Divine Perception out to search and found the problem in an instant. His eyes widened abruptly. “It’s that array on the ground!” Mixed with the spirit qi which was used to make the array, there was also a thick smell of blood. That was actually a blood array. “The blood smell comes from the array!”“No…” The two was going over for a closer look, but Shen Ying suddenly pulled them, threw her fruit seed on the ground and said, “It comes from underground.”“…”In a brief moment, the two understood. Lonemoon directly made an earth-opening spell, and the three figures disappeared from where they stood.And in the next instant, they appeared directly in rays of red light.This was the place directly underneath the square. It looked like an enclosed space, but it was as wide as the area above, and there was a giant red array shining on the ground. The light from it made the whole space blood-red. And in the middle of the array laid a round figure upon which were capturing spells. His aura was so weak that it almost couldn’t be sensed!“Fatty!” The three cried out together.The three figures flashed, and they were already in the middle of the array. Lonemoon directly waved a hand, releasing the spell which captured him. He looked carefully, and only then did he realize that there were several wounds on his limbs that were so deep that the bones were exposed. Fresh blood was flowing constantly out of the wounds and into the array under his body. The fresh blood gathered to a place in the middle and then started flowing upwards like it was weightless.And up above, was exactly the protective array with which that person just went through his lightning tribulation!Only then did they understand whose blood was used for the blood array above. Inexplicable fires of anger rushed in their hearts. Yi Qing waved to produce several sword qi which cut right through the blood-consuming array around them. The array dimmed immediately. They made a few spells which stopped Fatty’s bleeding.But he was still unconscious, and the aura on him became weaker and weaker. His whole body was ice cold, as though he’d die any moment. Yi Qing used spells to contain the livelihood on him which was almost dissipating completely. Lonemoon also took out an elixir and forced it into his mouth hurriedly. Then he drew upon a bit of spirit qi to help get the medicine in it through his body. His complexion finally started to get better.“Hey! Fatty!” Shen Ying called out several times.After a long while, Hui Ze finally, slowly, opened his eyes. He gave Shen Ying a blank look. “Miss Shen? Am I… dreaming?” His eyes fluttered, as though he wasn’t completely conscious yet,. “Am I already… dead? Or how can I see… or…”He was suddenly shocked, and his particularly small eyes widened into two circles in an instant. In the next moment, drops of tears started emerging from his eyes like peas dropping out of a bag. “You… How are you dead too!” With that said, strength came to him from nobody knows where. He took Shen Ying into his arms and started crying loudly.“Ah… Miss Shen, why are you also dead? Did I cause you troubles? Don’t you die, ah… Even I didn’t want to die, how can you be dead! Ah, ah… Can you get back to life?”Lonemoon, “…”Yi Qing, “…”Shen Ying, “…”Yi Qing’s hands tightened, making a series of clanging sounds. He couldn’t help it anymore. He directly grabbed a certain person’s collar and tore him away from Shen Ying like tearing off a band-aid. Casually, he threw him towards Father Niu, then he turned and hugged his own Master like she was a treasure.“Get away!” Little bitch. “Do you wanna die again?” I don’t mind sending you on your way.Fatty was frozen by his icy look. He looked somewhat blankly at Lonemoon, who moved to support him, then at Yi Qing, and finally, at Shen Ying.“Fellow Daoist Niu?!”Lonemoon, “…”“Fellow Daoist Chef?!”Yi Qing: “…”How the hell did you figure out these two ways of address? Hello?
