Although the blood-red statue had not moved, everyone present became extremely alert.
It feels like... something really extraordinary has been triggered.
If anyone did such a thing outside, he would be looking for death. It is so stupid and he is digging his own grave.
The statue is just there, why would you touch it? But this is the Hades Temple, so this step must be taken.
Knowing that there is danger, you still actively trigger the danger. In this case, you cannot escape this step.
If you don't trigger the danger, you will not be able to leave here and will be trapped here forever.
Trigger danger, resolve danger, this is the process of the Hades Temple. Those who come in cannot change it and can only obey.
What's more, exploring the Ancient Temple of the Underworld is tantamount to heading towards a dangerous place even though one knows there is a tiger there.
At this moment, the eyes of the blood-colored statue suddenly opened, but its eyes were still golden.
A thought emanated from it, echoing between heaven and earth.
"You have made a huge mistake."
Everyone was slightly surprised; they didn't expect that the statue could speak.
The two-headed dog beast lord growled and asked:
"Who are you?"
"I don't know who I am anymore, but I know you will be doomed."
The blood-red statue continued, "I have tried my best, at the cost of my own life, to use the Golden Sun Divine Puppet as a container to seal the evil spirit here, so that it will never come out of the world."
"But you made a big mistake and polluted my seal with the power of life. Now my seal is about to be broken, and the evil spirit is about to be born. Although it is no longer in its peak state, it is still not comparable to you."
As he spoke, the eyes of the blood-colored statue began to turn blood red.
"The Golden Sun God Puppet is comparable to the realm of the third refinement of true blood. The materials used are top-notch and difficult to damage. With the evil spirit possessing it, its strength will be even stronger. When my consciousness is completely annihilated, the seal will be completely broken, and the forbidden magic array here will also be mobilized by the evil spirit. By then, no one can stop it unless a master of the Earth Realm comes."
"By then, with your strength, you will all die here."
Hearing these words, everyone was shocked.
A puppet of the third level of true blood refining was actually within the capabilities of everyone. After all, there were three venerables of the second level of refining here, so it was easy for them to deal with a puppet without intelligence.
But with the addition of an unknown evil spirit and the power of the forbidden magic array here...
This is indeed a tricky situation.
The aura that the blood-colored puppet burst out at this moment is frightening. That evil creature is definitely not simple.
No one can defeat him unless a master of the Earth Realm comes. This evaluation of strength is quite high.
However, Zhou Qing's heart moved. The Golden Sun Divine Puppet sounded very powerful. He wondered if there was a chance to get it.
Well, he is the only one here who has the leisure to think about these things at this moment.
"However, I once found a method that can completely kill the evil spirit, but I no longer have time to implement it. I can only leave it to future generations."
"Before I died and sealed the evil spirit, I set up the Five Saints' Great Array to slay the evil spirits. I left behind instructions to tell future generations how to completely kill the evil spirits. I am waiting for future generations to come here and completely solve this disaster."
"I don't know how many years have passed. It's been so long that I have forgotten most things, but no one has come here yet."
The blood-colored puppet continued, "Now, I will tell you the method. Whether you can achieve it depends on your luck."
"If you can fully activate the Five Saints Demon-Slaying Formation, then you can still kill the evil spirit after it revives, and you can survive."
"Please give us some advice, senior. We will definitely work hard to fulfill your last wish and bring peace to the world!"
Zhou Qing cried out loudly, truly out of a desire for justice.
At the same time, he was also secretly sending messages to Ao Xuanwei and the other three.
"I have a feeling that the Five Saints Demon-Slaying Formation must be related to the five platforms and the patterns on them. Maybe it requires the power of those five patterns."
When the other four heard this, they all felt that what Zhou Qing said made sense.
There are only so many things here, except for the statue and the platform. The statue is the place where the evil spirits are sealed, so the platform should also have its own function.
"I have the blood of the five kinds of creatures with patterns like the real dragon and the phoenix. I'm giving it to you now. If the Five Saints Demon-Slaying Formation is really related to those five patterns, we can just take the blood and seize the platform!"
"No matter what, we are asked to kill evil here, so controlling the formation will definitely be beneficial."
Although Ao Xuanwei and the others remained expressionless, they were extremely surprised in their hearts.
Do you have the blood of those five kinds of creatures? "I have collected the blood of many creatures in the past for my own needs, and these five kinds of creatures are among them. I didn't expect to use them now."
Zhou Qing didn't blush or feel nervous. He did collect the blood because he needed it. There was nothing wrong with that.
The four of them thought about it and felt that this was probably just a coincidence. It was impossible for Zhou Qing to have predicted everything here.
But such a coincidence is bound to make people sigh.
He is truly a person of great fortune, loved by heaven and earth.
Lu Yuanyuan then came up with an idea.
"Brother, what if this person is lying and his method is actually a trap?"
No, because my golden finger also suggests the same thing. I don’t trust this person, but I believe in the golden finger.
But Zhou Qing definitely couldn't tell anyone this reason.
But before Zhou Qing could speak, Shi Yi said:
"I think I should still give it a try. At a time like this, I'd rather take some risks."
"Brother happens to have five kinds of blood, which is undoubtedly good news. If we do nothing, it would be too passive and too wasteful."
Very good, Junior Brother Shi, I will give you credit for this achievement.
No one else had any objections.
"By the way, if you have a chance to get the Golden Sun God Puppet, you can give it a try."
Zhou Qing added: "That puppet doesn't look simple. If we can get it, then maybe we don't have to go to the Ancient Puppet Road anymore."
"But your safety should be the first priority. Don't take risks if there is any danger. A puppet is not worth the risk."
The four of them kept Zhou Qing's words in mind.
"You need to find the five spirits: the True Dragon, Phoenix, Black Turtle, White Tiger, and Golden Armor. Only with the power of these five spirits can you fully activate the Five Saints Demon Slayer Array."
As soon as these words were spoken, most people's faces turned grim.
Where can they find these five creatures in the Hades Temple?
Zhou Qing shouted again: "Senior, we have a real dragon!"
Ao Xuanwei’s blood is a real dragon that is as pure as it can be, and is much better than the real dragon blood collected by Zhou Qing.
But among all the people present, only Ao Xuanwei met the requirements, and the other four spirits did not meet the requirements at all.
There is a tiger here, but it is an ice tiger, not a white tiger. It is completely different and cannot be replaced at all.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, the blood-colored puppet continued, "If there are no five spirits, then five masters will be needed to hold the blood of the five spirits and replace the five spirits themselves to activate the formation..."
“Senior, we have five masters here, and we also have five spirit blood!”
Without thinking too much, you know who is speaking.
The others looked at Zhou Qing, "Why are you here again?" While Zhou Qing was talking, Ao Xuanwei and the others had already moved, rushing out and reaching the platform in an instant.
Ao Xuanwei went to the True Dragon Terrace, Murong Yanran went to the White Tiger Terrace, Shi Yi went to the Golden Armor Terrace, and Lu Yuanyuan went to the Black Turtle Terrace.
Because Zhou Qing had some connection with the Phoenix, he chose the Phoenix Terrace, which was also the farthest platform from them.
Seeing Zhou Qing and the others' actions, some people suddenly came to their senses.
This could very well be an opportunity! "Stay!"
Someone tried to stop Zhou Qing, but he just flapped his Tianji Phoenix wings and dodged directly, landing on the Phoenix Stage.
"Senior, the five of us are close friends and share the same thoughts. If we preside over the formation together, the effect will surely be better!"
The two-headed dog roared, "I also have real dragon blood here. With my strength, I am the best choice to preside over the formation!"
Then it attacked Ao Xuanwei directly. The power of the second level of true blood refining was extraordinary and extremely terrifying.
But before Ao Xuanwei could fight back, she saw a light curtain rising from the edge of the True Dragon Platform, protecting her inside.
Not only Baihu Terrace, but the other four platforms also underwent such changes.
"Very good. It seems that my legacy has not been lost. You came here well prepared."
The eyes of the Golden Sun Divine Puppet were almost completely dyed red.
"Apply the blood of the five spirits on the array platform, and you will be able to obtain the method to activate the Five Saints Demon-Slaying Array. Then, activate the array and slay the evil spirits!"
"During this process, the formation will protect you from the attacks of evil spirits. The rest of you need to fight against the evil spirits to buy time for the Five Saints' Evil-Slaying Formation to be activated."
Zhou Qing was secretly happy in his heart, good, good, this is good, he likes it.
He took the trouble to preside over the formation.
Except for Zhou Qing and his friends, no one can accept this. Let us fight against that evil spirit?
A venerable said: "With the combined efforts of many people, the Five Saints Demon Slaying Formation should be able to activate faster."
"I also have black turtle blood here!"
Zhou Qing was thoughtful when he heard this.
It seems that the blood of these five beasts is likely to exist in the levels before the core area.
Even if the explorer has not prepared the blood of the five beasts in advance outside, as long as he is lucky after entering the temple, he will have the opportunity to collect the five bloods and use them directly after arriving here.
After all, if they can't get it together, then it will be a dead end.
In this way, the normal process of clearing this Hades Temple should be:
The explorers enter and discover the blood of the five beasts. They break the evil seal in this core area. Finally, the five lucky people dominate the formation. In this process, fighting is likely to break out for position.
But because Zhou Qing was able to predict the future, he was one step ahead of everyone else and directly occupied the five formation platforms.
The five spirit blood obtained by others from various places in the Ancient Temple of the Underworld is naturally useless.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Their current use is to stop evil spirits.
After figuring it all out, Zhou Qing felt secretly happy.
You still have to [seek good fortune and avoid misfortune] and put yourself in a position where you can rest assured for the next period of time.
"Five people are enough. If there are too many people on each formation platform, there will be conflicts in power and the full power of the formation cannot be exerted."
Jin Yang Shen Kui said: "You don't have to worry. The blood of the five spirits has gathered and the formation has begun to activate. The evil spirit will no longer be able to mobilize the power of the formation here. With your strength, it is not impossible to delay for a while."
"The harm caused by evil spirits is endless. We must..."
The voice of the Golden Sun Divine Puppet suddenly became intermittent, and its eyes had lost their golden color, being completely stained with blood.
But at the last moment, the Golden Sun Divine Puppet still made its final sound.
"Kill the evil spirits!"
"boom!"
The terrifying aura reached its peak, and the Blood Sun Divine Puppet moved and stepped down from the altar.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you guys really surprise me..."
Midu took advantage of this last moment to say some helpless words.
“We were supposed to be working together as a group to collect the blood of the five spirits in the temple, but the five of you ended up occupying all the positions. This is really hard for us.”
The two-headed dog lord roared, "Boy, you took away my opportunity and endangered my life. If you don't give me an explanation afterwards, even if you are from Xuandu Temple, I will personally come to you to ask for an explanation!"
"It's impossible that there is only danger here and no benefits. The five positions that preside over the Five Saints Demon-Slaying Formation are the ones who are most likely to benefit."
Reverend Bingquan's tiger eyes flashed with ferocity, "After this, if you really get any benefits, you have to give me some, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"That's right. We fell into your trap and protected you from disaster. If you take all the benefits for yourself, we will not give up."
“…”
Others made similar comments at this time.
They were filled with hatred and resentment, and felt that their trip to the temple was just to help Zhou Qing and the other four.
Not only might he not get the greatest benefit, but he would also have to bear huge risks and fight for Zhou Qing and the other four.
If the people standing on the five platforms at this time were from different teams, then although the others who wanted to fight against the evil spirits would still feel unhappy, they would not have such great resentment.
But before Jin Yang Shen Kui even finished speaking, Zhou Qing and the others had already occupied five seats, shocking everyone.
Wow, there are only five people in your team, but all five of you went to enjoy the benefits. It is more likely that the benefits that come later will also belong to you five people.
What is this? You guys take all the benefits, and we bear all the risks?
This is too infuriating, who can stand it! Especially those who collected the blood of the five spirits in the temple, they were even more furious at this time.
That should obviously be my seat!
Essentially, they were not angry that someone else could enjoy the benefits on the array, but that the person enjoying the benefits was not themselves.
Zhou Qing didn't take these people's threats seriously at all.
Fighting for treasure in dangerous places, in the final analysis, is just a matter of ability. Taking risks is something everyone should be mentally prepared for.
It wasn't like Zhou Qing was deliberately trying to trick them, he was just more thoroughly prepared.
The path of spiritual practice is only about competition.
If others get it, you won’t have it.
If you fight for it, others won’t have it.
That's the truth.
Moreover, threatening him... Let's get through the evil spirit first before talking about other things! Zhou Qing did not hesitate and directly took out the phoenix blood and smeared it on the array platform. Murong Yanran and the others were doing the same thing.
Even Ao Xuanwei, the real dragon, was the same. He did not rashly use his own power to activate the formation for fear of some trap.
"roar!"
"cracking!"
“…”
The sounds of five beasts roared one after another, and then the shadows of the Five Saints, including the Phoenix, appeared and circled in the air.
The stone pillars at the edge of the square also began to glow, and the ordinary-looking lamp oil on the pillars burned at an extremely fast speed.
"call out!"
Rays of flames shot out from the stone pillars and poured into the phantoms of the Five Saints, making the phantoms of the Five Saints more solid and their aura more powerful, giving a feeling that a living spirit had descended.
At the same time, the Blood Sun God Puppet also jumped up. Its blood-red eyes were filled with madness and cruelty. It had been completely controlled by the evil spirit.
The evil spirit didn't seem to want to speak, and it was unclear whether it didn't want to or couldn't.
But the power he unleashed when controlling the Blood Sun Divine Puppet was truly formidable.
The two-headed dog had no intention of engaging the evil spirit head-on. It wanted to let others go first while it would just sit back and do nothing.
But the evil spirit went straight for it and punched it. The two-headed dog's face suddenly changed. It resisted with all its might, but was still blown away, with blood splattering everywhere.
This scene is terrifying.
A beast king in the second level of True Blood Refining was beaten into this state by a single punch. If this evil spirit had not been suppressed by the Five Saints Evil-Slaying Formation and could have controlled the power of the formation here, then it is hard to imagine how terrifying it would be.
"Attack together and go all out. Zhou Qing, Murong Yanran, don't delay there!"
Midu shouted, "Whoever holds back will never leave here alive today. This is not an ordinary Dark Ancient Temple!"
At this point, they have also realized the extraordinary nature of this ancient temple.
This level of danger is not something that ordinary temples can experience.
The high risk of the Hades Temple actually means high returns.
Some people get even angrier when they think of this.
But no matter how angry they were, no one really wanted to just do nothing.
There is no chance of survival! A fierce battle broke out, and everyone tried their best to fight against the evil spirit.
The lay Buddha ranked sixth on the Dragon List, the Holy Son of Yuchi Holy Mountain, the three great secondary-level refining masters, and several other slightly weaker masters, all fought desperately.
The evil spirit was really strong. Under such an attack, it was still able to dominate the world, but it was eventually temporarily repelled.
On the formation platform, Zhou Qing and the other four did not delay intentionally. They were all trying their best to activate the formation, wanting to activate it thoroughly as soon as possible, and pouring powerful power into the formation platform.
Although they are competitors, they are not so bad as to do something tasteless.
While trying his best to activate the formation, Zhou Qing was also paying close attention to the battle below. Seeing the evil spirits displaying their power, people would suffer serious injuries from time to time, and even die or be injured. This made Zhou Qing feel emotional.
So brutal.
Luckily I didn't have to fight.
Zhou Qing, come on, save everyone! After seeing the terrifying power of the evil spirit, Ao Xuanwei and the others were glad that they didn't have to fight against the evil spirit.
Especially Lu Yuanyuan, she felt that inviting her senior brother to come here to explore was really the best decision she had ever made.
The magic techniques are infinite and the magic weapons are powerful.
Blood splattered and life was lost.
This is a race against time.
Finally, the phantoms of the Five Saints changed again. They moved, roaring and rushing towards the Golden Sun Divine Puppet. They directly imprisoned it, making it unable to move anymore and let out a wailing sound.
When the others saw this scene, they immediately stepped back, feeling relieved and as if they had survived a disaster.
it's over.
