Dominating Martial King

Chapter 1732 - 576: Too Late

The scene remains at the West Mountain of Wang’an City, in a spacious underground cavern.National Master Yu Kunlun stands at the center of a grand formation, eyes shut in deep contemplation.

Beneath him is a massive array with a diameter reaching twenty miles, all shaped in an imposing octagonal design.

Within this formation, there are precisely one hundred and eight fiery cages. Inside each cage is a Giant Spirit, ranging in height from eighty zhang to one hundred and fifty zhang.

It is widely known that Giant Spirits over eighty zhang in height are generally first-grade; those surpassing one hundred and thirty zhang have entered the ranks of super-grade.

At present, they are trapped in the cages, unable to move,

These Giant Spirits are entwined from head to toe with scarlet chains, nailed through with great spikes nearly a foot thick, and their mouths stuffed with massive iron balls.

Their muscles are taut and bulging, evidently struggling mightily, yet unable to break free of those chains, not even able to utter a sound, only letting out low gurgles from their ’throats.’

Should Chu Xisheng arrive here now, he would find himself where Chu Fengge cast ’Inverting Yin and Yang.’

Not long ago, it was discovered here by National Master Yu Kunlun and transformed into this formation to clone the initial generation’s Heavenly Gaze.

At this moment, Yu Kunlun feels unexplainably uneasy.

After all, the target of his cloning is the initial-generation Heavenly Gaze, which nearly exterminated the Divine Continent Clan.

It is inevitable for Yu Kunlun to wonder whether his actions are correct.

A moment later, Yu Kunlun suddenly exhales a murky breath, his gaze gradually firming.

To counter the Gods, the strength of the Four Ancestor Corpses is indispensable.

They are four Ancestor Corpses who have embarked upon the ’Inner Heaven and Earth’ path, possessing upper-god-level fighting power.

Only by leveraging their strength can Emperor Jianyuan pacify the Divine Continent and complete the northern expedition, unfulfilled by Emperor Xuanhuang.

Just then, Emperor Jianyuan descends from above through the passage.

"National Master can begin."

Emperor Jianyuan hovers above the Array Altar: "The Daluo Ant Clan has escaped, and Chu Xisheng has already been led to Liang State by those Ant Clans."

He then shows a touch of surprise in his gaze, surveying his surroundings: "Is this the source of the blood and flesh the National Master mentioned? From where did the National Master obtain it?"

Truth be told, this was not what he imagined.

Emperor Jianyuan thought Yu Kunlun would capture some human Martial Cultivators and young adults as the source of blood and flesh for this initial Heavenly Gaze.

After all, that is precisely what the Buzhou Mountain Giant Spirits did.

It is widely known that the Human Clan inherits the wisdom of Pangu; they are the spirits of all things, an excellent sacrifice for various secret techniques.

This sacrifice is easy to obtain, not to mention the countless undocumented black households scattered among the rural areas; now, in the north of Wang’an City alone, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees.

As long as they are slightly cautious in gathering sacrifices, it won’t attract attention, easily amassing ten to eighty thousand.

The key is where Yu Kunlun obtained so many Giant Spirits?

It must be known that even on Buzhou Mountain, the number of first-grade Giant Spirits residing there is only around two hundred.

The nine cages at the very core of this massive array alarm Emperor Jianyuan.

The Giant Spirits inside are all without exception over one hundred and thirty zhang in height—astonishingly, nine super-grade Giant Spirits!

"Your Majesty, these are what I’ve accumulated over ten thousand years."

Yu Kunlun responds without expression: "I have roamed the world for many years using Divine Split Avatar, seeking various methods to combat the Giant Spirits. Throughout my years, many secret techniques I’ve mastered require the Blood and Flesh Spirit, hence whenever an opportunity arises, I capture the strong ones from the Giant Spirit Clan into dream sleep, raising them at my place.

These Giant Spirits have a lengthy life expectancy; it’s not unusual for first-grade Giant Spirits to live over ten thousand years. Just providing a bit of food and water lets them survive for years."

"I see!"

Emperor Jianyuan shows relief, then slightly furrows his brows: "It’s just—"

The Giant Spirits of Buzhou Mountain clone the Heavenly Gaze using human blood and flesh as a base.

"Your Majesty need not worry; I have not only reversed engineered their cloning dharma gate but also improved it."

Yu Kunlun stands with his hands behind his back: "The Heavenly Gaze was originally crafted by blending the god bloodlines, and using first-grade Giant Spirit flesh to craft it will only make it purer, stronger. Though it’s still a flawed product, it requires step-by-step completion."

Only then does Emperor Jianyuan relax, smiling: "How could I not have complete faith in the matters handled by the National Master?"

He thinks this plan is good; using the blood and flesh of these upper-grade Giant Spirits to craft the Heavenly Gaze might seem extravagant.

But it is far more concealed, more easily evading those Divine Sects and Demon Sects.

It would be easier to explain afterward, avoiding angering those who fancy themselves virtuous, preventing unrest.

His figure settles down at the center of the Array Altar: "If the National Master is ready, then we can start immediately."

Yu Kunlun, however, casts a doubtful glance up at the entrance above.

Emperor Jianyuan glances at it and shakes his head in explanation: "Mr. Zong won’t be coming this time; he’s gone to Jizhou to oversee."

"Jizhou?"

Yu Kunlun is startled, quickly realizing: "Mr. Zong going to Jizhou is to guard against the Green-eyed Military Governor Qin Muge? Has Your Majesty planned some significant move?"

Emperor Jianyuan laughs heartily: "I finally activated this pawn of the Daluo Ant Clan; if it merely distracts Chu Xisheng and those Divine Sects and Demon Sects, it would be too wasteful, so I prepared an extra gift for him."

Saying this, Emperor Jianyuan grins: "Courtesy requires reciprocity; two months ago, he broke into Wang’an and almost stomped my dignity into the dirt, could I not respond?"
