"Oh? Is that what you think?"
At the Daoist's mild remark, Blood God Child's heart jolted. He wasted no more words. With a thought, he sent the twenty-six encircled Asura Gods and Devils charging toward the Daoist's true body.
Blood God Child's objective had always been clear. He believed that, with his undying Asura body, there was no distinction between an original body and an incarnation, but the Daoist had no such ability. Thus, he sought only to kill the Daoist's original body and destroy his Primordial Spirit. Then the Myriad Phenomena Dao Domain, the Five Elements Sword Formation, and even the Inner Landscape Deities would naturally all disappear. Besides, he knew that although his twenty-six Asura Ghost Immortals did not fear the Daoist's eight Inner Landscape Deities, killing them all would probably take considerable effort, more than it was worth.

The Asura giant leading them held nothing but shields in his six arms. Pitch-black and seventy or eighty zhang tall, each shield bore a relief of a blood-colored Asura ghost face with jutting fangs, looking like a Ghost Gate leading into the nether underworld. The seven or eight Asuras immediately behind him mostly carried long weapons such as spears and hooks, easily two or three hundred zhang long, but each also held at least one shield. Now they raised them all, covering their bodies and extending their weapons beyond the shields, charging headlong like a scaled hedgehog.
At that moment, the Eastern King Wood Duke guarded the eastern position, precisely where the Asura horde was charging. Perhaps Blood God Child thought that, compared with the other deities, this ancient god governed vitality and represented the Daoist's attainments in
