Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1137

The Hell Emperor's Divine Battle Array was an array formation Alex had learned back in Silvermoon city, near the Ancient Battlefield in the Northern Continent. He had bought it from an auction and had used it at the time to refine his intent.

At that time, he was certain that there would never come a time when he would ever use this technique, as he never saw himself being in an army, commanding soldiers of his own.

However, after he started gaining Blood Beasts, his mind slowly shifted back towards using this array.

Whenever he was on the islands to make pills or train, he would always remember to practice this array. It had only taken him a short time to realize just how valuable this thing was.

And today, he was going to show its value for everyone to see.

The hundred different beasts moved all at once in unison. They stuck to the array and flew into the sky to fight everyone that Alex had assigned as their enemy.

The beasts that were closer to them appeared first and attacked. The people in the sky tried to fight back, but it didn't take them too long to realize how weak they were.

About 40 of the 50 people were weaker than any single beast they were fighting against. Having to fight 2 or more was not what they had signed up for.

Before the fight could even properly start, many of them were injured, with one of them dying in a single strike.

The other beasts got closer as well and panic started to spread through the group of people there.

"Fight, you fools," the patriarch shouted at everyone to grab their attention, but that didn't work. Most of his people weren't able to fight at all.

Only the few Saint realm cultivators could actually put up any sort of fight at all. The patriarch looked around worried and quickly brought out a talisman to call for more aid. There were still people in the nearby islands that were staying there because he hadn't thought they would be needed.

However, now that he was looking at how things were going, he would need all the help he could get.

He noticed Alex flying towards him to fight, so he got ready to counter. He guessed that is he could kill Alex, he could most likely get rid of these bloody beasts as well. However, before the two of them could clash, his sister moved towards Alex. He tried to stop her, but he saw 3 different beasts come and attack her.

His sister didn't seem to be paying attention to the beasts as her mind was only on killing Alex, so he moved to protect her by fighting off those beasts.

The patriarch's sister had a crazy look on her face as she flew toward Alex. "I will not let you live another second!" she shouted as her palms started burning with flames.

Then, she shot it at Alex like a flamethrower.

The fire fell from the sky, falling towards Alex who hadn't expected to be fighting the crazy woman. He was making his way towards the patriarch, but it seemed he had to stop for this fight first.

He put his arms up and blocked the fire. He didn't even need to use any Qi at all. With just a bit of Intent and Dao, the fire couldn't hurt him at all.

Alex defended himself and then sent an attack flying toward the woman.

​ The woman, while crazy, realized that Alex had stopped her attack and knew that something was wrong. She made the right choice to dodge the attack and attack with her fire spray once more.

Alex blocked that fire too and only defended this time around.

He had to pay attention to over a hundred different beasts right now and that was quite hard for him. He didn't have to pay attention to their every move, but he needed to make sure that they were in the array.

If they weren't, his chance of victory today would be almost nothing.

He spent a second or two to make sure they were in an array, and then took control of the fire in front of him.

The woman was surprised that her control over her own fire had been stripped away and tried to take it back. However, before she could, Alex sent it back toward her.

The woman created a fire lotus in front of her and sent it down toward the attack Alex had sent back.

Since both of them were her own attack, they struck each other and created an explosive result that canceled each other out.

Alex noticed 3 of his best beasts being fought away by the patriarch and moved to stop it. He teleported right next to them, sending one of them to take his spot in the array.

The patriarch saw him appear and charged at him with his spear. Alex readied his own sword and clashed.

The two of them struck each other, creating a clash that sent them both flying backward.

Alex took the majority of the force, but he quickly brushed it off.

As for the Patriarch, he was stunned for a few seconds. He could not understand how Alex was so strong at all. He stood there in the sky, wide-eyed.

"How are you so strong?" he asked.

Before Alex could even think of answering, the crazy woman flew from the side and struck him once again.

Fire burst right where Alex was and it consumed the sky in front of her.

"Brother, attack him with me," the woman shouted and the patriarch finally got out of his stupor and jumped in with her to attack.

However, when the flame disappeared, Alex was nowhere to be seen in front of them. In fact, he had appeared behind the two of them and he struck with his sword as hard as he could.

The two turned around in time to see a sword with a black glow strike them.

God Rending Death Blade.

"Soften!" the man shouted instantly as he placed his spear in front of the attack. The black sword struck the crimson spear, and at the same time, a blue aura appeared from within the patriarch.

Alex was surprised when he felt his sword slow down significantly. Not only that, his attack seemed to have dropped in power by a lot as well.

"What?" he couldn't help but speak out in surprise. 'What was that?'

He quickly backed away and looked at the patriarch with caution.

"This little brat," the woman spoke. "Be careful, brother. He seems to be able to teleport freely. Must be sort of skill."

"Don't tell me to be careful when I'm the one that just protected the two of us," the patriarch said. "Prepare your attacks. We will end it now."

The woman nodded and a fire aura blossomed around her. At the same time, a water aura appeared around the patriarch.

Alex stayed behind with his 3 beasts slowly coming towards him to help him fight. He looked around at the battlefield and saw that his beasts were doing a good job, but more people were starting to come in and the number advantage that he had was slowly reducing.

He was sure his beasts would still win, but if he lost too many in the process that would be a major problem for him right now.

After all, the Hell Emperor's Divine Battle Array improved one's strength based on their number.

With 10 soldiers in the array with a single commander, their overall strength would improve by a single realm.

With 100, their overall strength would improve by 2 realms.

Alex was currently using these 100 blood beasts to improve his overall power by 2 realms. As such, his Saint Soul 3rd realm blood aura was becoming Saint Soul 5th realm in terms of what he could output.

With a bit from his Qi, body, and Sword Qi, his overall power would come close to the 6th realm, which was what the old man had right now.

However, if he were to lose too many of his blood beasts, or the battle was to prolong for too long, his blood aura would lose its power and he would no longer be able to fight as well.

He prepared his sword and looked at the two in front of him. Then he charged at them.

Along with him, an eagle, an octopus, and a lizard blood beast charged as well. Their blood aura was weaker than Alex's, but with the array's aid, they were also around Saint Soul 3rd or 4th realm in strength.

The woman in front of them lit up a fire in the shape of a lotus again and sent it downward.

Alex could feel the force from the fire and knew it was strong. He tried to control the lotus, but it was too far away. Due to the lack of Qi in the atmosphere, he couldn't use his Dao as effectively.

Alex would've gotten rid of the phoenix flames by now, but that would mean that his opponent would no longer be in the boat as him, unable to use their dao to the fullest.

So, instead of using his dao on the lotus, he sent the eagle first.

The eagle increased its flying speed by a lot and zipped through the sky as it appeared close to the lotus.

The woman quickly activated her technique, exploding the lotus next to the eagle. The eagle also attacked, it's wings creating a massive wind attack that struck the lotus as it exploded.

The explosion lit up the night sky, and Alex used the opportunity to sneak in an attack.
