Chapter 578: Essence Tranferral Array Formation

The group discussed their strategy and with Lilith giving them various inside information, they were able to come up with a great plan. However, when they reached the point of fighting against the Lord of Asgard, the group became silent.

"Among all of us, only Jiu Shen might be able to land a blow against the Lord of Asgard." Asmodeus cupped his chin with the palm of his right hand. His other hand tapped on the table as he put on a thoughtful look.

Lilith nodded her head in agreement. She had already fought the entire group so she knew about their current strength. In her point of view, only Jiu Shen was indeed capable of fighting against the Lord.

"There is a way for us to ensure the victory of Jiu Shen." Elena voiced out her words in a somber tone.

Her words immediately made the others glance her way.

"How?" Jian Wang asked with eyebrows furrowed.

"Essence Transfer..."

The eyes of Lilith widened upon hearing this term, while the others stared at each other in confusion. Only Asmodeus had a bit of understanding about it.

"You're not serious, are you?" Asmodeus glanced at Elena with a serious look.

Essence Transfer was a Forbidden Type of Magic. With the use of an Essence Transferral Array Formation, one person can transfer all of his powers to another! The issue was that whoever transfers their power would lose all their cultivation. Meanwhile, the person who accepts the power would have a temporary boost in strength and when the effect wears off, he/she would eventually die!

This was used as a last resort by an old sect, but the said sect no longer exists in the Primordial God Realm. The blueprint of the Essence Transferral Array Formation was also gone along with the sect.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Elena glanced at him coldly.

Asmodeus turned his head away from her and sighed.

Asgard has become a silent threat to everyone in the Primordial God Realm. It was necessary to destroy it before they could bring harm to the populace.

"Do you know how to make it, Asmodeus?" Jiu Shen suddenly asked.

Asmodeus turned his head towards Jiu Shen and looked at him with a frown. "I do know how to make it. In fact, it's not even complicated to create. However, the receiver of the power would die from the side effects of this array. Even the donors would become mortals. Are you sure about this?"

"I've already died once. And if you guys become mortals once again, you can use the Cultivation Hall in my store. I will inform Theia about it." Jiu Shen said in a calm voice. He wasn't afraid of dying. With the Hall of Life and Death, he could just ask Asmodeus and the others to revive him. Though the process might take millions of years...

Their faces hardened when they heard his words. In the end, they still nodded their heads. Only the destruction of Asgard would give them peace.

"Alright. It's decided. We will use the Essence Transferral Array Formation. Asmodeus, what items do you need?"

"I already have everything. I just need a bit of time." Asmodeus answered sternly.

"How long?"

"Probably around two days. The fastest would be fourteen hours." Asmodeus made a rough guess.

"Alright. Everyone, inform your subordinates about the next attack. We will move in three days. Dismissed!"

Jiu Shen stood up and left the room. He had to inform Theia about all this. Although he didn't mind dying, Theia might hold a different opinion about it.

Soon, Jiu Shen arrived inside the topmost room of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

A cold-looking blonde beauty was seated behind a desk, signing a bunch of documents. She raised her head when she heard the arrival of someone. When she noticed that it was Jiu Shen, her face lit up with a smile. "How is the meeting with the other Celestials?"

Jiu Shen could not help but feel guilty when he saw her charming smile. He grabbed her hands and pulled Theia into his embrace. Her warmth gave him a sense of calmness.

Theia was slightly startled by his actions, but she didn't stop him. She placed her head on his chest and listened to the beating of his heart.

"I'm sorry. It seems like I have to leave you again." He muttered.

"What are you saying?"

Instead of answering, Jiu Shen caressed her face and gave her a deep kiss.

Theia pushed him gently and looked at his face. "You have to explain everything to me..."

Jiu Shen sighed and nodded his head. He then told her what they had discussed earlier during the meeting and when he told Theia about the Essence Transferral Array Formation, she tried to hold back her tears. "Why does it have to be you?" Her voice quivered.

"The others could not last long if it's them. With my body, I'm the only one who can control the chaotic energy for a long period of time. We need every second to ensure the defeat of Asgard." Jiu Shen patiently answered her queries.

***

Asmodeus immediately began creating the Essence Transferral Array Formation.

He took out all the materials he needed and placed them all around him. The process of making the array wasn't complex, the only issue was that this array needs more diagrams drawn which lengthened the creation time.

Asmodeus kept on sighing as he made the array. "Well, I've become bored living as a Celestial. It's not too bad to become a mortal. I can just recultivate myself. There's a Cultivation Hall anyway..."

"I just hope that Jiu Shen doesn't fail in killing the Lord or all of our efforts will be in vain. We had already sacrificed a lot just to destroy Asgard. Now that we have reached an endpoint, I hope nothing goes wrong..." Asmodeus sighed once again. He then focused his attention on making the array. Thinking about random thoughts would only increase his worries.
