Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2884: Chapter 153: Battle at the Vermilion Bird Divine Altar (Part 2)

This is a true Vermilion Bird statue.

Its entire body is crimson red. Though evidently lifeless, its wings are as dazzling as glazed glass, as if fiery flames flow through them.

The Vermilion Bird holds a gold ring in its beak.

On the gold ring, there are marks from the burning of flowing fire, though now extinguished.

Under the Vermilion Bird, its two feet grasp at a magnificent and regal ”divine throne.”

Red-colored, vivid glazed crystals entwine around the golden divine throne like vines.

It seems as if the blood of the Vermilion Bird nourishes this throne.

And on the throne, there are carved solemn patterns.

These patterns range from thick to thin, branching orderly.

Mo Hua’s breath hastened as soon as he glanced at them.

For he had seen these patterns before.

They are true and closer to the origin... the patterns of the Divine Authority Tree, symbolizing the ancient deity’s power.

This means that this throne is indeed connected to some ancient divine authority.

And other cultivators from the barbarian tribes also fell into a frenzy almost instantly.

They might not understand what the Vermilion Bird and throne signify.

But just by glancing and sensing this aura, they know that it must be a ”deity’s” bestowed item.

It is truly an ancient deity, a divine relic left in the Wildland.

Such a holy artifact, how could it not drive people crazy?

Mortals will feel a frenzied desire instantly overpowering their rationality with just one glance.

Even more frenzied are shamans like Yan Zhu and Qing Zhu, who worship deities and practice the Divine Thought techniques.

They understand better than anyone the preciousness of this Vermilion Bird statue and the golden throne.

The divine aura condensing here is thousands of times heavier than the divine blessings they sought through a lifetime of cultivation.

Even the Young Master of the Wujiu Tribe and a group of Witch Vulture witches fell into prolonged shock.

They knew their pursuit was the ancient altar of Vermilion Bird Mountain, but never imagined that this altar would indeed be so incredibly ”precious.”

Thus, almost all the tribes and everyone frantically charged towards the divine altar.

Especially previously certain Upper Witches, Great Chiefs, Chief Elders, and several Golden Core Barbarian Generals, who controlled the situation without personally fighting, now all disregarded everything, desperately urging their movement techniques, creating streams of light racing towards the divine altar.

Yet, before anyone reached the altar, as they just entered the Divine Altar Square, they felt a fiery burning sensation.

Golden Core was better off, but some Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those at the Foundation Establishment Peak, couldn’t avoid clutching their faces, tearing at their skin, feeling their whole bodies scorch painfully.

Strangely, there was no abnormality on their bodies.

Simply, their Divine Sense felt the visceral burning sensation, causing their flesh to seem roasted by fiery flames.

This burning of the Divine Sense also directly ”killed” their heart and consciousness.

One after another, barbarian soldiers, struggled and wailed, crawling towards the Vermilion Bird statue, and died there.

Their flesh remained untouched, but their Divine Sense had been ”burned” to death.

Flesh remains, Divine Soul perished.

Chief Dan Lie’s face darkened, immediately shouting loudly:

”All Foundation Establishment barbarian soldiers of the alliance, retreat immediately, do not enter the square, or face no burial!”

Danque Tribe’s barbarians retreated first.

Other Flame Wings, Fire Eagles, Bi Fang, and allied tribes’ barbarians won’t follow his ”Great Hierarch’s” orders fully, but after ”spontaneous combustion”, more people dying, they also began retreating fearfully.

Wujiu Tribe also lost many barbarian soldiers.

After that, the Wujiu Young Master issued orders, stopping Foundation Establishment barbarian soldiers from charging the altar.

Foundation Establishment cannot charge, but Golden Core can.

The Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm cannot withstand the slightest ”burning” of the Vermilion Bird Divine Altar.

Golden Core, however, can endure for a long time.

Hence, the large Foundation Establishment soldiers from both sides, stood outside the Divine Altar Square, refusing to advance.
