Chapter 116: Fierce Spirit Blood Formation

She quickly realized that something was amiss.

The thunder tribulation was spreading!

Diana gritted her teeth, narrowed her eyes, and instantly changed the tune of her flute.

The fierce beasts that had not yet been affected by the thunder tribulation immediately retreated into the formation, while those already tainted by it were abandoned by her.

But how could Alexander possibly give her this opportunity!

He also followed the herd, blending into the midst of the beasts.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck, immediately affecting hundreds of fierce beasts.

Diana, expressionless, once again separated the fierce beasts affected by the thunder tribulation from the group.

Back and forth, Alexander had only endured five true lightning strikes, yet he had rendered nearly eight thousand fierce beasts useless.

System: "Host, well done!"

Alexander squinted and said, "No, she’s scheming against me!"

Upon hearing this, the system was momentarily stunned and said, "What did you say, Host?"

And at that moment, Diana, standing in the center of the formation, suddenly let go of her flute and stared coldly at Alexander.

Because Alexander had followed the fierce beasts into the Fierce Spirit formation.

In that instant, Diana swiftly formed a seal, and the edge of the Fierce Spirit formation lit up with a crimson glow.

Some of the fierce beasts that had not yet entered the formation were instantly bisected by the red light.

A translucent blood-red shield covered the entire sky.

System: "She’s locked the formation!"

Alexander squinted and said, "She must have deliberately shown me a flaw that I could exploit, using ninety thousand fierce beasts to lure me into the formation. I only just realized her intent. This woman is truly venomous!"

System: "Host, are we doomed then?"

Alexander smiled slightly, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said, "It remains to be seen whether this is a case of ’inviting the gentleman into the urn’ or ’letting the wolf into the house’. It’s too early to draw conclusions now!"

The system was stunned. Such stylish words, were they really spoken by the Host? Suddenly, it felt quite impressive.

Alexander is serious, and when he is serious, it feels significant.

Diana looked at him coldly and said, "You used the thunder tribulation to kill thousands from the Order of the Wandering Oracles. Today, you enter my domain, so don’t expect to leave alive!"

Alexander responded with a light smile, "I not only intend to live well but also expect to outlive you!"

Diana fell silent, and in the next moment, her eyes suddenly opened wide, enveloped by a surge of crimson light.

"Fierce Spirit Blood Formation! Blood Essence! Activate!"

In that instant.

Alexander saw within the Fierce Spirit formation, the bodies of thirty thousand fierce beasts suddenly exploded.

Their blood instantly coalesced, forming towering waves that surged towards the sky, the blood morphing into shapes, struggling to form faces and limbs, becoming waves of blood.

[Ding! Warning! Warning! Target level far exceeds host’s strength, once in contact, host’s survival rate: 0]

Diana coldly said, "I’d like to see where you can escape to this time!"

In an instant, under Diana’s control, the blood waves surged towards Alexander, covering the sky.

System: "Host!!"

Alexander squinted, his expression becoming utterly serious.

"System, how’s the decoding of the Yardstick?"

"It has already been completed!"

"Good!"

In a flash, a beam of white light appeared in Alexander’s hand.

A pitch-black ruler appeared in his hand, and a vast amount of spiritual power immediately spread from his hand to the ruler.

"Yardstick! Rise!" Alexander roared.

In an instant, he controlled the Yardstick to charge towards the blood waves.

The next moment, the Yardstick grew exponentially in response to the wind, instantly draining all the spiritual from Alexander’s body.

In a flash, the Yardstick expanded tens of thousands of times, creating a broad wall between Alexander and the blood waves.

Boom!!

The blood waves crashed against the Yardstick, causing the earth itself to tremble.

[Ding! Yardstick’s durability is rapidly decreasing, remaining spiritual in the host’s body: 11%]

Alexander, undeterred, continuously consumed Pills to restore the spiritual depleted from his body.

He maneuvered Excalibur, turning into a beam of golden light, and rushed up along the wall created by the Yardstick.

[Host’s spiritual power is rapidly recovering, 21%, 42%, 65%...]

When the spiritual power recovered to 70%, Alexander suddenly shouted. "Sword, come!"

In an instant, three thousand spirit swords burst forth from him, transforming into a stream of swords that sped along the Yardstick.

Each sword blade carried fifty fire spirit talismans.

A total of one hundred and fifty thousand fire spirit talismans!

The next moment, the stream of swords split into three, bursting in three different directions under the cover of the Yardstick.

[Warning! Warning! Yardstick’s durability is insufficient, about to break!]

Almost simultaneously with the system’s alert, a loud crack was heard.

The Yardstick cracked, one fissure after another, as the blood waves broke through its confines.

But at the same moment, Alexander landed on the second node of the Fierce Spirit array.

He suddenly raised his head, gave the stormy sky the middle finger, and shouted: "Is this pathetic lightning supposed to tickle me? If you dare, strike me with more!"

System: "!!!!"

As if the gods themselves heard Alexander’s challenge.

The next moment.

Boom, boom, boom!

Three bolts of lightning struck down from the sky.

Alexander was immediately hit by the three bolts, his blood surging violently, on the brink of death.

And the node where Alexander was standing turned into scorched earth amidst the thunder.

The system yelled: "Alexander! Don’t provoke the gods!! If you disrespect the gods, you will be judged!"

Alexander gritted his teeth: "System, how long can I live?"

System: "At the current rate, two minutes!"

"Good!"

A flash from Excalibur in his hand, he dragged his battered body and instantly appeared in the small world of Excalibur.

He wasted no time, the moment he stepped into the small world, he waved his sleeve, and the yin-yang energy he had accumulated through dual cultivation with his wives instantly surrounded him.

He sat down, took a deep breath.

Instantly.

All the yin-yang energy was absorbed into Alexander’s body.

His battered body began to heal at an unimaginable speed.

[Ding! Heart function restored to normal...]

[Ding! Liver function restored to normal...]

[Ding! Skin and muscles restored to normal...]

[Ding! Spiritual rapidly recovering, 60%, 80%, 100%]

The next moment, a fully rejuvenated Alexander stood up silently and returned to the outside world.

He solemnly said: "Ten days inside, one hour outside, a time ratio of one hundred and twenty to one. It took me thirty seconds to recover inside, just a moment outside. With this, I will be invincible!"

The Yardstick collapsed, and the blood waves rolled in.

But Alexander was not tense at all. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the images of those three thousand flying swords flashed through his pupils.

He immediately controlled the flying swords with his mind. The sword stream, carrying one hundred and fifty thousand fire spirit talismans, charged towards the other three nodes.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!!

Three sounds of terrifying explosions echoed, akin to nuclear bombs detonating. The three array nodes were blasted apart.

Alexander opened his eyes wide and declared deeply, "This formation is destroyed!"

And in the next moment, as he uttered these words, the entire array began to collapse, the red light burst forth explosively, and the blood waves instantly crumbled.

On the other side of the blood wave, Diana’s face turned deathly pale.

"How... how is this possible! No! Impossible!"

Because this happened in less than two minutes, even before her blood wave had fully risen. Alexander had destroyed five formation nodes in such a short time.

"No! No!"

She suddenly looked up, her face ashen, looking towards the countless souls rushing towards the sky as the array broke apart. Those were the unmerged souls of her ancestors!

Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more!

[Ding! Fierce Spirit array is broken, congratulations to the host for completing the task!]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the task reward: Soul-Nailing Needle x1]

[Soul-Nailing Needle: Inserted through the forehead, it can obliterate the soul!]

In an instant, a silver steel needle about the length of a hand appeared beside Alexander, its tip blood-red, looking more like a spike than a needle.

Diana suddenly turned her head, through the collapsing blood waves, looked at Alexander with hatred and said, "You destroyed my formation, causing my ancestors’ souls to scatter. Our enmity cannot coexist under the same sky!"

But she did not immediately attack Alexander; instead, she soared into the sky, rushing towards the swirling souls above.

System: "Host!! Quick! Those souls in the sky are the pure soul force nurtured for thousands of years inside the bodies of fierce beasts by an ancient powerhouse. It can greatly enhance the host’s soul strength! Host! You absolutely cannot let that woman absorb all the soul force!"

Alexander smiled slightly and said, "Got it!"

In an instant, Alexander, wielding Excalibur, soared into the sky towards the swirling souls.

Diana, furious, with her hair flowing, said, "You dare touch my ancestors’ souls! I will have your soul scattered to the winds!"

Alexander replied with a light smile, "Finders keepers, the good stuff naturally goes to the one who gets there first!"

"You despicable man! Take this!" Diana clenched her teeth, and in an instant, a flash of blue light in her hand revealed an ice-cold sword blade, appearing suddenly in her grasp.

In an instant, the sword split from one to two, two to four, and four to eight, quickly turning into a torrential sword rain.

[Ding! Target weapon analysis complete: Ice Sword, forged from the extreme cold ice of the Antarctic, capable of multiplying into millions. Host, be careful!]

A smirk appeared on Alexander’s lips.

And just as the countless icy swords were about to envelop him, accompanied by a flash of golden light, Alexander’s body instantly disappeared into Excalibur.

All that remained in the sky was the swiftly fleeing golden giant sword.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

A series of crisp sounds echoed.

The countless blades striking against the body of Excalibur instantly exploded.

System: "Wow!! Host! You’re so clever!! Excalibur is an ancient divine artifact. Although you, Host, cannot use all of its power, this sword is definitely not something ordinary weapons can contend with!"

Seeing this, Diana gritted her teeth in anger.

This was cheating!

Blatant cheating!

How did this guy carry so many treasures on him!

Utilizing Excalibur to get through the torrential sword rain, Alexander’s body reappeared. He smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand, and made a fierce grab towards the sky, intending to seize the souls above.

Diana, infuriated and humiliated, said: "You bastard, stop it right now! How dare you do this!"

But at this time, it wasn’t a moment for fighting; she had to seize as many souls as possible before he did!

In an instant, she propelled herself with a gust of wind towards the souls in the sky.

Above the sky, in the midst of their struggle, Alexander managed to forcefully snatch half of the soul force from Diana’s grasp with his own ability.

The soul force in his hands suddenly condensed into a pale red orb.

Both retreated, each having captured half of the available souls.
