My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Gu Qing silently recited in his heart.

next moment.

The array base that Blood Tiger had painstakingly refined suddenly disappeared within the array's restricted space, causing the entire Crimson Sky Array to tremble.

The crimson sky where Gu Qing was located seemed to have been paused, and the blood-fiend energy stopped flowing.

Just a moment ago, Blood Tiger Master was still fantasizing about the scene of Su Changge completely breaking down after Gu Qing's death.

But what awaited them was not Gu Qing's death.

Instead, he broke through his own defenses.

When he saw the blood-red sky freeze and stop flowing, his expression changed in succession. First, he was puzzled, then surprised, and then he was shocked into disbelief.

In the end, he was overwhelmed with shock and anger, and his defenses completely crumbled.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!!"

"This crimson sky array is a domain-type array restriction technology secretly developed by the Wei family. It is the most cutting-edge immortal technology."

"What exactly did that kid do?"

"Why did the Crimson Sky Canopy Array suddenly malfunction? It just stopped working as soon as it was supposed to."

"Even if you put the array formation blueprints in front of that kid, it would take him several years, even a decade or more, to learn them!"

Boom...

Just as Blood Tiger was filled with shock and rage, the blood-red sky that had stopped flowing on the ground, like a glass wall, instantly collapsed into countless blood-red fragments amidst the sword lights of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect disciples, and fell from the sky.

It then melted and evaporated in mid-air, turning into wisps of bloody aura that dissipated between heaven and earth.

The entire Crimson Sky Curtain Array has a total of six array bases.

However, after Gu Qing broke one of them, the blood-red giant bowl that originally covered the entire Qingdi Sword Sect within a radius of two hundred miles instantly collapsed and disappeared by one-sixth, instantly turning into a huge broken bowl.

The moment the Crimson Sky Curtain Formation was broken, numerous rogue cultivators flew out from Qingdi City, wielding magical artifacts and attacking the Tiger Fiend Sect disciples within the formation.

In this life-or-death battle between the Tiger Fiend Sect and the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, they will help whoever wins.

"The Azure Emperor Sword Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred place of swordsmanship with a ten-thousand-year heritage. I knew they had a trump card."

"The Tiger Fiend Sect is too arrogant; disaster is bound to befall them."

"Kill them!"

"Expel the Tiger Fiend Sect and reclaim the family property they have seized."

Many small cultivation families, as well as the family cultivators of the eight major merchant guilds, followed suit and went out of the city to besiege the disciples of the Tiger Fiend Sect.

Under the watchful eyes of Blood Tiger True Man, as the Crimson Sky Curtain Formation was broken, the Tiger Fiend Sect disciples were thrown into a panic. Under the siege of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect disciples and many rogue cultivators, they were on the verge of a complete rout.

Not only that, Su Changge, who had been chasing and slashing at him, was now looking at him coldly.

As for Bone Spirit True Man, he and Su Changge's clone were getting further and further apart, and the other party seemed to be preparing to slip away.

"That kid, you deserve to die!"

Staring at Gu Qing, who was heavily protected by the disciples of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, Blood Tiger True Man's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If looks could kill, Gu Qing would have died a thousand times over.

Near the base of the Crimson Sky Canopy Array.

Seeing the abnormal changes in Gu Qing's flesh, with fleshy growths appearing, Ye Zhi Qiu quickly went to Gu Qing's side and asked, "Elder Gu, are you alright?"

"Here is the Three-Patterned Evil-Dispelling Pill you refined before..."

Gu Qing waved his hand and said:

"It's no use. This isn't an ordinary injury. It's a profound and mutated change in the domain. We have to use the power of the domain to expel it."

"Or... take control of this power."

"Control?"

Upon hearing Gu Qing's words, Ye Zhi Qiu looked bewildered, not understanding why Gu Qing would say such a thing.

Based on what Gu Qing revealed, the crimson domain contains at least ten basic mysteries of bloodlines. How could anyone possibly control it?

Gu Qing did not continue to explain, but instead sat cross-legged next to the blood pool where the array base had just been placed.

Equipment slots.

Gu Qing silently recited it in his heart.

[Equipped Item: Blood Tiger True Man's Carefully Refined Array Base]

[Rank: Rank 1, Tier 10]

Completeness: 100%

[Equipment Effect: Gain experience from Blood Tiger Master controlling the Crimson Sky Curtain Array, acquire the array restriction imitation domain technology corresponding to the Crimson Sky Curtain Array, and acquire the ten basic bloodline mysteries corresponding to the Crimson Sky Curtain Array.]

[Note: Equipment time exceeding one day grants permanent experience gained from controlling the Crimson Sky Curtain Array by the Blood Tiger True Man. Equipment time exceeding one year grants permanent effects from the Array Restriction Imitation Domain technology. Equipment time exceeding ten years grants permanent access to ten basic Bloodline Mystic Arts.]

……

As Gu Qing absorbed the knowledge gleaned from the equipment panel, countless ideas about array restriction and imitation technologies flooded his mind.

Just a moment.

Gu Qing's understanding of the Crimson Sky Curtain Array already surpassed that of Blood Tiger True Man.

To Blood Tiger Master, he was merely a tool who could only use the Crimson Sky Curtain Array in a simple way. Just like an ordinary person's understanding of a mobile phone, how the phone works internally is a black box to them.

The same reason.

For Blood Tiger Master, the operation of the Crimson Sky Curtain Array was also a black box.

He only knew how to use the various functions of the Crimson Sky Curtain Formation in a formulaic way, without understanding its core operating mechanism.

Despite possessing a foundation in the Dao of Immortal Kingdoms, Gu Qing was able to understand the core of the Crimson Sky Curtain Array.

Gu Qing opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils seemed to flash with layers of blood-red light.

"The Profound Mystery of Blood!!"

"Blood discoloration?"

Looking at the tumors growing on his body, Gu Qing's palm lit up with a mysterious crimson light. He gently brushed it across his body, and the tumors disappeared on their own, and his body returned to normal.

"Forehead……"

Ye Zhi Qiu stayed by Gu Qing's side the whole time, protecting her.

In just a few breaths, Gu Qing inexplicably mastered the profound mysteries of bloodline. His eyes widened instantly, like a bull's, and he wanted to ask, but didn't know how to begin.

"I really can't understand this kind of perversion."

"Ever since Elder Gu joined the sect, he's never lived a normal life..."

"I had too high expectations for Elder Gu... He has never been a decent human being, he always has been."

"..."

Watching Gu Qing cast spells on the blood pool beside him, Ye Zhi Qiu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Gu Qing then cast a series of magic seals.

Gu Qing channeled his spiritual energy into the blood pool, manipulating the blood-fiend energy gathered there. He replaced the array base with himself, and streaks of blood-red spiritual patterns spread outwards from beneath his feet.

soon.

Both the disciples of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect and the disciples of the Tiger Fiend Sect stared in shock in the direction where Gu Qing was.

Because they discovered that the Blood-Red Sky Curtain Array, which had just collapsed, was actually recovering. A blood-red curtain rose from the ground, soaring straight into the sky and connecting with the other five still-operating array bases of the Blood-Red Sky Curtain Array.

"Damn it!!"

"Could it be that the Tiger Fiend Sect feigned defeat when the crimson sky was broken, in order to lure out cultivators who were hostile to them, and then carry out a thorough purge after defeating the Azure Emperor Sword Sect?"

"Have we been tricked?"

Among the group of independent cultivators, a man of great intelligence suddenly filled in the blank.

The other independent cultivators also hesitated upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, doubt leads to defeat.

While these rogue cultivators were filled with doubt and surprise, the disciples of the Tiger Fiend Sect were as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their morale instantly became overwhelming.

A disciple of the Tiger Fiend Sect made a move in an instant. His five fingers, like tiger claws, pierced through the chest of the hesitant rogue cultivator, and he held a beating heart in his hand.

……

Above the sky.

Bone Spirit True Man looked at the suddenly restored crimson sky array, a hint of joy appearing on his face. He secretly transmitted his voice to Blood Tiger:

"Blood Tiger, I never expected you to have completely mastered the Crimson Sky Curtain Array."

"Well done."

however.

Blood Tiger Master, looking completely bewildered, explained telepathically, "It wasn't me, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense."
