Nine Absolute Death God Array

Lu Yiping emerged from the Otherspace where Su Xiu was and frowned.

Originally, when he searched the soul of Su Xiu from the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, he had hoped to find clues to Yang Dong's whereabouts in his memories.

But like Wu Mo, Su Xiu did not know where Yang Dong was.

So he still had to keep searching.

Afterward, Lu Yiping and the others went to several other Otherspaces in Black Prison Forest and subdued the remaining three lightning-elemental exotic beasts.

Chen Yongyuan's mount was likewise a Thunder Kirin Horse in the God Realm.

Just as Lu Yiping and the others subdued several lightning-elemental exotic beasts, He Shao and Yu Xin fled in panic from an Otherspace somewhere in the Battlefield of the Gods.

The moment they escaped the Otherspace, they saw a gigantic phoenix covered in golden flames fly out.

The giant phoenix opened its beak, and a skyful of golden phoenix fire came crashing down.

Watching the phoenix fire descend with a thunderous roar, He Shao's expression changed drastically as he frantically activated all the divine power in his body.

"Meteor Flame!"

Divine power blazed fiercely.

His entire body became like a flaming meteor, carrying his disciple Yu Xin as he fled through the air.

They had only just escaped into the distance when a tremendous explosion rang out behind them.

Behind them, everything within several hundred miles was swallowed by the skyful of golden phoenix fire.

Everything on the earth was incinerated.

Cold sweat drenched He Shao's body. Unable to care about anything else, the two fled with all their strength.

Fortunately, that phoenix did not continue pursuing them. After one strike, it retreated into the Otherspace.

Even so, the two fled in panic for a long time before finally collapsing onto a stretch of wasteland, gasping for breath in utter disarray.

Only after confirming that the phoenix had not chased after them did He Shao let out a long breath. Then, with a bitter expression, he said, "I found the Phoenix Divine Tree, but I never expected it to be guarded by such a terrifying phoenix."

"Could that phoenix be an Undying Golden Phoenix?!" Yu Xin said, still shaken by what had happened.

The Undying Golden Phoenix held the same position among phoenixes as the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon did among dragons. It was one of the phoenix race's most supreme beings.

He Shao was still unsettled as well. "It was indeed an Undying Golden Phoenix, and it has most likely reached the True God Late Stage Peak!"

"What? An Undying Golden Phoenix at the True God Late Stage Peak?!" Yu Xin was stunned.

He Shao gave a bitter smile. "That is why we should forget about the Phoenix Divine Tree. That Undying Golden Phoenix simply did not wish to kill us. Otherwise, even if we had ten lives, we would not have escaped."

"We'll think of another way to deal with your bloodline problem."

"Let's return to Medicine King Hall first."

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

More than a month later.

Somewhere beneath the Battlefield of the Gods, Lu Yiping stared grimly at the boundless formation runes before him.

On the ground was an enormous formation, one that had already been lost since ancient times—the Nine Absolute Death God Array.

Over the past month, he had investigated the truth behind Yang Dong's disappearance. After piecing together every clue, he had finally tracked it here.

"This is the Nine Absolute Death God Array?!" Dragon Horn Golden Ox stared wide-eyed at the endless formation runes before it, asking in disbelief.

Lu Yiping gave a low hum, his voice deep.

Hearing Lu Yiping confirm that it truly was the Nine Absolute Death God Array, Dragon Horn Golden Ox exclaimed in shock, "It really is the Nine Absolute Death God Array! Who actually set up such a massive Nine Absolute Death God Array here?!"

It stepped forward and carefully examined the densely packed patterns of strange flowers within the formation on the ground. The longer it looked, the graver its expression became. "These are Ghost Flowers?!"

"Legend has it that every time the Nine Absolute Death God Array devours the Divine Soul of a Deity Realm expert or above, it condenses a Ghost Flower. With so many Ghost Flowers in this Nine Absolute Death God Array, how many Divine Souls of Deities must it have devoured?!"

Dragon Horn Golden Ox felt every pore stand on end.

At the same time, it was baffled. How had this Nine Absolute Death God Array devoured the souls of so many Deities?

Guessing what Dragon Horn Golden Ox was thinking, Lu Yiping slowly said, "The War of the Gods."

"The War of the Gods!" Dragon Horn Golden Ox jumped in fright. "Master, are you saying this Nine Absolute Death God Array was set up before the War of the Gods?!"

Lu Yiping's voice was exceedingly grave. "That's right. These Ghost Flowers are not newly formed."

He could tell that these Ghost Flowers had condensed over countless years.

And this was beneath the Battlefield of the Gods.

For the Nine Absolute Death God Array to have devoured so many Divine Souls of Deity Realm experts and above, it could only have been during the War of the Gods!

During the War of the Gods, the Divine Souls of countless fallen Deities, True Gods, Heavenly Gods, and even experts beyond Heavenly God were all devoured by this Nine Absolute Death God Array!

The War of the Gods had indeed been a conspiracy!

"What did he want to do by setting up this Nine Absolute Death God Array and devouring so many Divine Souls?!" Dragon Horn Golden Ox muttered, its throat dry.

Lu Yiping's eyes flickered. "There is a cultivation technique that can devour all kinds of Divine Souls for cultivation."

Dragon Horn Golden Ox asked in alarm, "If that person cultivated by devouring so many Divine Souls, what realm has his strength reached?!"

Lu Yiping did not answer.

This place was extremely well concealed, and its restrictions were powerful. If not for his current strength, he would never have discovered it.

The War Chariot hovered in the air and slowly entered the Nine Absolute Death God Array.

Zhang Jin and Zhao Wen, along with the other two, flew ahead. They circulated their divine power, remaining utterly vigilant for any sudden change.

Aboard the War Chariot, Lu Yiping looked at the Ghost Flowers scattered across the ground, his expression growing increasingly grim. Some of these Ghost Flowers were newly formed.

After Yang Dong entered the Battlefield of the Gods back then, he had eventually come here as well.

That meant his fate was most likely grim.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiping had Dragon Horn Golden Ox increase its speed.

Before long, they arrived at the formation eye.

Looking at the formation eye, Lu Yiping summoned the Qiankun Cauldron into his hand and swung it down fiercely.

Boom!

As Lu Yiping struck down, a heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating force swept through layer upon layer of space. The entire Battlefield of the Gods shook violently, and the hundreds of millions of Death Spirits and corpses throughout the battlefield trembled. All the experts who had entered the Battlefield of the Gods turned pale in horror.

Struck by the Qiankun Cauldron, the formation eye of the Nine Absolute Death God Array exploded. The entire formation eye was blasted out of existence, leaving behind a terrifying crater spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Dragon Horn Golden Ox was dumbfounded.

That was far too violent!

Lu Yiping gave a cold laugh. Now that the formation eye had been completely destroyed, he wanted to see how that person would repair the Nine Absolute Death God Array. Then, with a wave of both hands, countless formation runes flew forth and transformed into heavenly dragons before vanishing into the void.

This was the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Array!

It could suppress all evil demons.

As long as the person who set up the Nine Absolute Death God Array came here in the future, the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Array would be triggered. Lu Yiping wanted to see exactly who had set up this Nine Absolute Death God Array!

"Let's go," Lu Yiping said.

Then, he and Dragon Horn Golden Ox left the underground with the others.

After leaving, Lu Yiping did not linger in the Battlefield of the Gods any longer and headed back toward its edge.
