Nine Absolute Death God Array (Third Update)

Emerging from Su Xiu's Otherspace, Lu Yiping frowned.

Originally, he had subjected Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect to a soul search, hoping to find clues to Yang Dong's whereabouts from his memories.

But Su Xiu, like Wu Mo, had no knowledge of Yang Dong's location.

So, he had to keep searching.

Afterward, Lu Yiping and his group went to several other Otherspaces in the Black Prison Forest, subduing three more lightning-type exotic beasts.

Chen Yongyuan's mount was also a God Realm Thunder Kirin Horse.

Just as Lu Yiping and the others were taming several lightning-type exotic beasts, He Shao and Yu Xin fled in panic from a certain Otherspace on the Battlefield of the Gods.

No sooner had they escaped the Otherspace than they saw a massive phoenix covered in golden flames fly out.

The giant phoenix opened its mouth, and a sky full of golden phoenix fire came crashing down.

He Shao looked at the cascading phoenix fire, his face turning pale as he frantically channeled all his divine power.

"Meteor Flame!"

Divine power blazed fiercely.

He transformed into a streak of flaming meteor, carrying his disciple Yu Xin as he tore through the void to escape.

They had barely fled far when a thunderous roar echoed behind them.

Behind them, hundreds of miles in every direction were engulfed by the sky-filling golden phoenix fire.

Everything on the ground was incinerated.

He Shao was drenched in cold sweat, ignoring everything else as they fled with all their might.

Fortunately, the phoenix did not pursue them further; after that single strike, it retreated back into the Otherspace.

Even so, they fled in panic for a long time before finally collapsing in a desolate wasteland, gasping for breath and utterly disheveled.

Only after confirming the phoenix was not chasing them did He Shao heave a huge sigh of relief. Then, his face filled with bitterness—he had found the Phoenix Divine Tree, but he never expected it to be guarded by such a terrifying phoenix.

"Could that phoenix be an Undying Golden Phoenix?!" Yu Xin said, still shuddering at the memory of what had just happened.

The Undying Golden Phoenix's status within the phoenix clan was equivalent to that of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon among dragons—the pinnacle of the phoenix race.

He Shao, still unsettled, replied, "It is indeed an Undying Golden Phoenix, and I'm afraid it's already at the late-stage True God peak!"

"What? A late-stage True God peak Undying Golden Phoenix!" Yu Xin was stunned.

He Shao smiled bitterly. "So, we'd better forget about the Phoenix Divine Tree. That Undying Golden Phoenix didn't want to kill us; otherwise, even with ten lives, we wouldn't have escaped."

"We'll find another way to deal with your bloodline issue."

"Let's head back to the Medicine King Hall first."

In the blink of an eye, over a month passed.

A month later.

Deep underground somewhere on the Battlefield of the Gods, Lu Yiping stared grimly at the endless array of Formation Talismans before him.

The ground was covered by a massive formation—a long-lost ancient formation called the Nine Absolute Death God Array.

Over the past month, he had been investigating the truth behind Yang Dong's disappearance, piecing together clues until he finally arrived here.

"Is this the Nine Absolute Death God Array?!" the Dragon Horn Golden Ox said, staring wide-eyed at the boundless Formation Talismans, uncertain.

Lu Yiping hummed in acknowledgment, his voice low.

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

It stepped forward to examine the dense, strange flower patterns on the ground within the formation, its expression growing more solemn with each look. "Are these Ghost Flowers?!"

"Legend says that every time the Nine Absolute Death God Array devours a Divine Soul above the God Realm, it condenses a Ghost Flower. With so many Ghost Flowers in this array, how many gods' Divine Souls must it have consumed?!"

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox felt a chill run down its spine.

At the same time, it wondered in astonishment how the Nine Absolute Death God Array had managed to devour so many Divine Souls.

Guessing the Dragon Horn Golden Ox's thoughts, Lu Yiping said slowly, "The War of the Gods."

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

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

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

And this place was the underground space of the Battlefield of the Gods.

For this Nine Absolute Death God Array to devour so many Divine Souls above the God Realm, it could only have happened during the War of the Gods!

Back then, the countless gods, true gods, heavenly gods, and even beings above heavenly gods who fell in the War of the Gods—all their Divine Souls were devoured by this Nine Absolute Death God Array!

The War of the Gods back then was indeed a conspiracy!

"What does he want by setting up this Nine Absolute Death God Array and devouring so many Divine Souls?!" the Dragon Horn Golden Ox murmured, its throat feeling dry.

Lu Yiping's eyes flickered. "There is a technique that cultivates by devouring all kinds of Divine Souls."

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox asked in astonishment, "Devouring that many Divine Souls to cultivate—what realm has this person reached?!"

Lu Yiping said nothing.

This place was extremely hidden, and its restrictions were formidable; if not for his current strength, he would never have been able to discover it.

The War Chariot hung in the air, slowly entering the Nine Absolute Death God Array.

Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, and the other two flew ahead, their divine power circulating as they remained fully alert, watching for any sudden changes.

On the War Chariot, Lu Yiping stared at the Ghost Flowers blooming on the ground, his expression growing darker. Some of these Ghost Flowers were newly grown.

Back then, after Yang Dong entered the Battlefield of the Gods, he had ultimately come here as well.

If so, the outcome was likely grim.

With this thought, Lu Yiping urged the Dragon Horn Golden Ox to speed up.

Before long, they arrived at the array's eye.

Looking at the array's eye, Lu Yiping summoned the Qiankun Cauldron and swung it down with all his might.

Boom!

As Lu Yiping struck, a world-destroying might swept through layers of space. The entire Battlefield of the Gods trembled violently, the billions of Death Spirits and corpses quaking, and all the experts who had entered the battlefield were horrified.

Struck by the Qiankun Cauldron, the array's eye of the Nine Absolute Death God Array exploded, vanishing entirely, replaced by a terrifying pit tens of thousands of miles wide.

The Dragon Horn Golden Ox was dumbfounded.

That was way too brutal!

Lu Yiping sneered coldly. Now that the array's eye was completely destroyed, let's see how you repair this Nine Absolute Death God Array. Then, with a wave of his hands, countless Formation Talismans flew out, transforming into heavenly dragons that vanished into the void.

This was the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Array!

It could suppress all evil.

If the one who set up the Nine Absolute Death God Array ever came here, they would trigger the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Array. He wanted to see who had laid this array!

"Let's go," Lu Yiping said.

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

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