Chapter 1788: Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array

“A million human sacrifices!” At this point, he closed his eyes in agony.

“A million human sacrifices?” said Tang Wulin in astonishment.

Zang Xin nodded. “Precisely. It requires a million human sacrifices. That is the prerequisite of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. Moreover, it needs to be hosted by an exceedingly powerful evil soul master. The great array utilizes a special core circuit to trigger the vengeful thoughts of the living souls and converts the vengeful thoughts into energy that becomes the anchor for the great array. Fresh blood is used by the evil soul masters as the medium to summon the souls.”

Tang Wulin immediately realized something as well. He widened his eyes in surprise and said, “So, that means that Shrek City in the past…” At this point, he could not continue anymore.

Shrek City was completely destroyed in the past causing the deaths of a few hundred thousand people in one day. All that happened during those times were the acts of the Holy Spirit Cult! The hundred thousands of living souls were snatched away ruthlessly and infused into the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array.

Not only that, there was also the great catastrophe that dawned on the Heaven Dou City. It was the city with the densest population of the continent!

These evil soul masters were the cause of all the catastrophes. Subsequently, they accumulated a million souls to complete the great array.

In the beginning, Tang Wulin thought that the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was made by the abyssal plane. He did not expect the Holy Spirit Cult to be behind it all.

The numerous Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s powerhouses had reddened eyes from the grief they felt at the moment. Countless lives used in the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array had actually come from Shrek City in the past! How could they not feel the intense agony in their hearts?

“B*st*rds, b*st*rds!” A Ruheng cursed in rage. “They don’t deserve to be human!”

Tang Wulin clenched his fists and furrowed his brows tightly. He asked in a deep voice, “Your Excellency, is there any other use for this Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array apart from defense?”

Zang Xin said, “It can be used to devour souls. As soon as a living creature is dead, its soul will immediately be absorbed into the great array to strengthen its structure until the great array is saturated. Moreover, the term ‘Godkiller’ reflects the most disturbing part about the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. It’s not referring to the act of killing god, but rather it means killing to become a god. It devours the souls by killing a large quantity of living creatures to elevate the great array’s host to the rank of godhood. If I’m not mistaken, the host of this great array is precisely the Holy Spirit Cult’s Demon Empress! She is the Demon Empress who is at the top of the hierarchy! She is the real dominator of the Holy Spirit Cult.”

Indeed! How could the Demon Empress not partake in such an important event of bringing in the abyssal plane?

“The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array is set up in the abyssal passage so its coverage is only within this area. There’s nothing much we can do, but what about her?” asked a puzzled A Ruheng.

Zang Xin said with a bitter smile, “You’re too naive. After the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array has completely taken form, the great array can be moved by one person alone. Hence, we’re about to fight against the completed Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array which will provide support to the abyssal legion in attacking us. The most worrisome part of this is if our side suffers major fatalities, the Demon Empress may force herself to achieve Godhood by committing a massacre!”

At this point, most of them had a drastic change of expression.

It was troubling enough to think about the presence of the abyssal Sage King. No one had any idea if he would come to the Douluo plane. In addition, the Demon Empress might utilize the great array to achieve Godhood. How were they going to fight them?

“Sir!”

Long Yuxue walked into the room in long strides. She was greatly relieved when she saw Tang Wulin in the meeting room. She took a glance at him before she said, “The command post is requesting for the Tang Sect Master and His Excellency, the Heartless Douluo in the meeting room.”

Tang Wulin and the Heartless Douluo gazed into the eyes of one another. At the same time, an idea simultaneously emerged in their minds, and they figured out something.

However, it was not the time for speculation. They dared not delay any further as they headed to the command post.

At present, the federal military command post was all quiet. In the command post where all the high-ranking personnel were gathered, everyone’s expression was extremely solemn.

The final battle that had some success initially had to be halted due to the opponent’s powerful defense. The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array’s defense was truly formidable. The full force blast of ten rank-9 fixed soul ammunitions could not break it.

There was no way to obtain a cumulative explosive force from the fixed soul ammunitions. They could only be blasted at different angles. Launching them simultaneously at one specific spot at the great array did not produce the cumulative effect needed for a penetrative attack.

In any case, the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition was already the most powerful attack-type soul weapon in the federal military.

“The situation is really bad. If I’m not mistaken, it’s highly possible that it’s an extremely evil array known as the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array,” said the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie solemnly.

As soon as he mentioned the great array’s name, Tang Wulin realized that the military should be familiar with the power and function of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array.

As expected, Chen Xinjie explained the situation with the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. His explanation was in greater detail than the one given by the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.

“The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array will become increasingly powerful after devouring more living creatures. Moreover, the power will be channeled back to the host of the great array. If that person is the Demon Empress, it’s highly possible that she can utilize the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array to achieve Godhood. Even if she can’t truly be a god, she’ll be awfully close. When that happens, she’ll be irresistible based on the existing technologies!”

At this point, Chen Xinjie turned unusually solemn. No one would want to fight against such an enemy. If this were to happen, it would make the current situation even more difficult than it already was.

Yu Guanzhi looked at everyone on the scene and heaved a sigh. “I didn’t expect our attack-type weapons to be so deficient.”

The Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue said, “How about we try to shoot heavy ion beams at high intensity?”

Yu Guanzhi said, “We’ve done some detailed calculations. The heavy ion beam can perhaps penetrate the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array and cause harm to the abyssal creatures inside. However, it’ll only damage some portions but not break the entire array. In addition, we’ll need to unleash the high intensity heavy ion beams at close range. Even then, the overall damage to the array will still be limited.”

Under normal circumstances, the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition was already considered the most advanced attack weapon. Although the Federation’s soul technology was considered cutting-edge, not much had been achieved in terms of developing the most powerful attack-type weapons.

In the past, the Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition was developed for this purpose. However, it was halted due to its high consumption of resources.

The Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit was touted as the correct research approach, but the amount of rare metals required was too much such that the entire Tang Sect could only afford to use it to forge a set of divine mecha.

During his explanation, Yu Guanzhi shifted his gaze to look at Tang Wulin. “Unless there is an even more powerful soul device, we can’t possibly break the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. Besides, we’ve no time to lose!”

Tang Wulin appeared calm on the surface, but he was well aware that his speculation earlier was right. Perhaps, this was why they were summoned by Yu Guanzhi.

Was the so-called more powerful soul device referring to the Eternal Heaven?

They went to great lengths to acquire the Eternal Heaven. The Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition, a strategic weapon, played a crucial role in the stable development of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Consequently, the Federation refrained from any action on these two great organizations. The Spirit Pagoda similarly feared them.

Frankly, Tang Wulin was reluctant to hand over the Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition. Yet, how could they break the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array if not with the Eternal Heaven? It would be close to impossible to break the terrifying great array formed from a million human sacrifices.

Tang Wulin looked toward the Heartless Douluo without giving it much thought. Cao Dezhi looked back at him. They met one another’s gaze. Tang Wulin pursed his lips and nodded slowly. “There is. There’s a weapon that’s powerful enough.”
