Chapter 2900  : The Arrangement

Li Yue’s expression was extremely ugly. He had originally wanted to control the power of the Nether River to wipe out Chang Mang’s consciousness.

However, he realized that he could not do anything to Chang Mang no matter how hard he tried because Chang Mang’s divine sense merged into the Nether River.

If he wanted to erase his consciousness, the prerequisite was to eliminate the power of the entire Nether River.

Li Yue roared angrily, but he immediately made the best choice.

Instead of continuing to fight Chang Mang, he focused all his energy on guiding the power of the Nether River into his body.

“Chang Mang, control the power of the Nether River and absorb it into your body.”

Xiao Hai’s voice rang out in Chang Mang’s sea of consciousness.

“Alright, are you competing in the soul power? I’ve never been afraid of anyone before!”

Chang Mang revealed a sinister smile.

Chang Mang was standing on top of the Nether River.

The split Nether River entered his body and the violent power instantly shattered his body.

Then, the bloodstains formed a new skeleton and the power of the Nether River continued to enter his body.

When Chang Mang’s body was rebuilt, a dense killing intent erupted from his body.

This was a body constructed from the power of the Nether River, and so was Li Yue on the other side.

After realizing they could not destroy each other, they fought for the power of the life and death gates with all their might.

“Li Yue has the power of the Heart of Saint Kingdom, so he seems to have more advantages than Chang Mang. He has probably seized 60% of the Nether River’s power.”

Jue Wu frowned and said.

“40% is considered not bad.”

Xiao Hai said with a frown. They were fighting to the death.

Moreover, Li Yue had been planning for nearly a hundred years.

Chang Mang was still able to survive under such desperate circumstances and had even snatched 40% of the Nether River’s power. This was already much better than he had expected.

The two of them fought for a while, but the distribution of power was already a foregone conclusion.

The lock of beech wood pierced through Chang Mang’s body and swept him into the Investiture of Gods’ space.

“Xiao Hai, let me out! I’m going to fight the sinister fellow for 300 rounds! He has stolen my Heart of Saint Kingdom!”

Chang Mang panicked and his body exploded with immense power.

The tremendous power caused the Investiture of Gods’ space to shake. Xiao Hai could not suppress that terrifying power at all.

“Brat, don’t do anything rash! Let’s hear Xiao Hai’s next suggestion first.”

Jue Wu was more reliable than Chang Mang. She kicked Chang Mang in the face to calm him down.

Seeing Jue Wu fly into a rage, Chang Mang immediately wilted and didn’t dare to be impudent anymore.

He was not afraid of anyone, but only this Loli auntie.

“The Blood Sea Nether River Formation set up here was activated due to a strange combination of factors. The power of the gates was divided between you and Li Yue. Now that you have absorbed the power of the Nether River, it will be difficult for you to completely perish as long as the Nether River is not destroyed. Therefore, it is useless for you to fight with Li Yue now. The outcome is a waste of time.”

At this moment, Xiao Hai also learned more about the secrets of this formation.

“The current power is indeed very strong, but my Heart of Saint Kingdom was snatched away!”

Chang Mang said unwillingly.

He had absorbed the power of the Nether River. He was indeed not inferior to the time when he had the power of the seven Boundless. He was even more powerful now.

However, Chang Mang felt that he had let Qin Yu down by allowing Li Yue to snatch the Heart of Saint Kingdom.

“Don’t worry. There will definitely be a battle between the two of you. How can the mortals possess the Nether River Blood Sea? We’ve only revealed the tip of the iceberg now. When the true formation is activated and the person behind the scheme appears, this power will ultimately be empty.”

Xiao Hai had recovered some of his strength. He shot out a beam of power of the beech wood.

Every one suddenly appeared in a zero-degree land.

Countless ice crystals formed in their bodies although they had a high cultivation realm. Then, the ice crystals spread along their meridians, wanting to completely freeze their bodies.

Boom!

A flame burst out from Jue Wu’s palm.

The flames of the Divine Phoenix enveloped everyone. The fatal chill was reduced by a lot.

“What a terrifying chill! Even the phoenix flames are about to freeze. We have to leave this place as soon as possible.”

Jue Wu was also a little surprised. This extreme coldness had already made her consume her strength rapidly.

“This is the core of the formation and the Taihang Forbidden Zone. This place has involved the core of the Saint Kingdom. Even though Li Yue used a portion of the Holy Lord’s power to forcefully change the terrain, the structure of this place was completely unaffected.”

“In other words, what we did just now was only to speed up the operation of the formation to a certain extent, but we can’t interfere with it at all. Even if we ascend to the position of the Holy Lord, we can’t affect the core of this formation. When it finally operates together with the other gates, it must be when the person behind the scheme appears. Moreover, I guess it’s most likely related to the will of the Nether River’s ancestor.”

Xiao Hai analyzed what he had seen. The more he analyzed by using the power of the Investiture of Gods, the more creeped out he felt. The secrets of the life and death gates alone had already undergone countless changes. Furthermore, according to what happened in the Dao Mystical Saint Kingdom, this grand formation was based on the 18 Saint Kingdoms. It couldn’t be damaged even if it was exposed.

The 18 Saint Kingdoms had existed since the Primordial Chaos times. Even the most ancient mighty realm cultivator could not understand the foundation of its establishment.

This was an unbreakable truth just like the division of the world.

This time, the grand formation was set up with this foundation. One could imagine the ability of the person who set up the array.

“Are you saying that even if Chang Mang absorbs the power of the Nether River, he might still end up giving it to someone else?”

Jue Wu frowned.

“Who cares? When the time comes, we’ll deal with it!”

Chang Mang, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression.

“Chang Mang, I’ll give you a mission. You must familiarize yourself with the Way of Slaughter and the power in your body as soon as possible. The Nether River’s ancestor uses the Way of Slaughter. You must obtain the recognition of this power in the process of killing. Then, you can snatch the Hearts of Saint Kingdom from Li Yue and become the new Holy Lord of this place. Only then can I carry out the following plan.”

Xiao Hai knocked on his head. The continuous high-intensity deduction was starting to make him feel a little tired.

“There’s another question. What if Li Yue gathers all the Hearts of Saint Kingdom first? At that time, he will combine the power of the Holy Master and Chang Mang will find it difficult to match him.”

Jue Wu still felt a little worried.

If Xiao Hai hadn’t turned the tide, they would have suffered a crushing defeat.

“He won’t. There’s one Heart of Saint Kingdom with Qin Yu, so he can’t gather all 81 Hearts of Saint Kingdom.”
