Chapter 1641: Chapter 853: Bloody Battle (Part 3) He was a sinner, a prisoner, condemned to plunge into purgatory, subjected to endless torture, never to be reborn for all eternity. His Divine Soul was contaminated by Evil Qi, violently trembling. Pain voraciously devoured his mind. His spirit, too, tormented and struggling, threatened to leave his body. Spirit Blood Prison Pupil! And this was an even more profound, powerful Blood Prison Pupil Skill than Water Yama, with Evil Qi even more intense! Xie Liu, caught by this pupil skill, in an instant, suffered tremendous damage to his Divine Soul, standing as if soulless, a look of pain and despair on his face, like a puppet of agony. "Still thinking of running?" Master Xiao sneered, wielding a sword light through the air, severing Xie Liu’s arm, defenseless and entrapped by the Blood Pupil Skill. Xie Liu’s arm was severed; blood splattered, and the severed limb fell to the ground, still clutching the Water Prison Forbidden Box. But this intense pain brought Xie Liu back to his senses. Despite his Divine Soul’s violent trembling, a splitting headache, Evil Qi seeping into his Sea of Consciousness, everything before him cloaked in blood-red, unable to see, Xie Liu still struggled towards his severed arm. Moving toward the box within the severed hand, which sealed the highest inheritance of the Water Prison Sect. "I, my..." But it was already too late. Master Xiao had already stepped before him, first to seize the Water Prison Forbidden Box from the severed arm. Watching Xie Liu frantically approach, Master Xiao’s expression turned disdainful, the corner of his mouth curling into a sneer. But halfway through his laughter, it abruptly caught in his throat. Behind Xie Liu, stood another person. Unknown when Mr. Witch, who used to appear somewhat timid, now with a grim face, suddenly loomed behind Xie Liu. Seizing the moment Xie Liu’s severed arm was gravely wounded, combined with the breakdown from the Pupil Skill, Mr. Witch, with a darkened expression, suddenly lunged at Xie Liu, biting into his neck, frenziedly draining his blood, even... his flesh. Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically, and Mo Hua also sensed something amiss, hurriedly shouting: "Stop him!" Master Xiao hesitated no more, swinging another sword, but it was already too late. Mr. Witch, having fed on Xie Liu’s flesh, his limbs began to twist, his skin suddenly sprouting scales. Master Xiao’s sword struck the scales, not causing even a fraction of damage, instead provoking "Mr. Witch’s" fury. Covered in Scale Armor, in a half-human, half-demon state, Mr. Witch shrieked: "A bunch of beasts! A bunch of swine! Desecrating the Divine Lord, all must die!" Then his figure flickered, dragging Xie Liu, leaping together into the Blood Pool. In an instant, the filthy, foul Blood Pool corroded, thoroughly engulfing them both. The sudden change was too drastic, catching everyone off guard. "Is this Mr. Witch seeking his own death?" Master Xiao’s face turned grim. Mo Hua glanced at the Blood Pool, recalling the scales on Mr. Witch’s body, eyes narrowing. He knew in his heart, it might not be so simple... Everyone present seemed to realize something likely was about to happen. Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, at this moment, finally broke free from the Water Prison Skill’s control, arriving in front of Mo Hua. Though the two appeared somewhat battered, their hearts bore a deep fear. Mo Hua also sighed internally. The control of this Water Prison Skill was much stronger than he had anticipated. Compared to the Water Prison Technique, it was entirely on a different level. No wonder the Water Prison Sect revered it as their Sect Protecting Faction’s Ultimate Technique, not passed down except to the Sect Leader. If given the chance, Mo Hua truly wanted to learn it himself, but alas, his Spiritual Power was too weak. Even if he learned it, he might not be able to use it effectively. However, now was clearly not the time to ponder these matters. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 Mo Hua released his Divine Sense, perceiving the surrounding Blood Pool, then solemnly declared, "The Formation is activated..." No sooner had the words left his lips, when suddenly a "rumbling" sound arose, and the ground trembled. The altar in the center began to rotate, sinking down. The surrounding Blood Pools abruptly surged, blood waters howling and rushing, destination unknown. Columns of White Bone shot up from the Blood Pool, spiraling upward, converging. In the unseen, lines of Formation Patterns lit up. The Blood Pool’s whereabouts unknown, the ground kept twisting and changing, more bone columns emerging from the pools... Everyone could only do their best to protect themselves, adapting to the shifting terrain, avoiding the peculiar bone spikes shooting up from everywhere, while steering clear of the filthy blood waters... Fortunately, this seemed to be merely the "activation" phase of the Formation, and this Formation did not primarily aim at slaughter. After a while, the Formation settled, and the surroundings stabilized. Standing firm, when they looked around, they saw the once vast sea of blood transformed into a pale, bone-white forest. Dense clusters of White Bone, like masonry, constructing towering, bone-spurred walls and halls. These walls and halls, winding and turning, stretched without end, resembling an entire "White Bone Maze." Mo Hua was shocked but unsurprised. Upon seeing the blood sea, he had vaguely sensed that buried within it lay a Mystery Formation and a corresponding "Maze." Just like before, in the Bronze Maze within Bi Mountain Demon Cavern. In this Dragon King Temple, there stood an entire "White Bone Maze." However, for it to be so grand in scale, so bizarre in transformation, to create a maze of bone was beyond Mo Hua’s expectations. This appeared to be a structural form of the Evil God Altar. Building a maze outside the altar, using the maze to shield and surround the altar. Only now, they were trapped in the maze, yet the "altar" was nowhere to be seen. Mo Hua sighed. He knew well enough, this altar would not be so easily seized by him. Mo Hua looked around, finding everyone there, and although they encountered some disturbance when the Formation activated, they were unharmed, silently releasing a breath of relief.
