**Chapter 689: Jiang Yi Never Existed**
A blood-red light screen shot up into the sky, breaking through the original formation of Fortress Nine, reaching the sky, and dyeing the dark sky of the Yuan battlefield blood-red. The smell of blood filled the air, making people nauseous.
Meng Anwen’s face changed drastically, "This formation is not the only one!"
In his perception, as the blood formation of Fortress Nine was activated, the blood formations in Fortresses Eight, Seven...
Each fortress had a blood formation being activated.
Fortress Nine was not the only blood formation, it was just the source of the blood formations. Each fortress had a blood formation, and as a god-level formation master, Meng Anwen had not discovered them all these years.
This could only mean one thing: the person who set up the formations was far superior to him.
Jiang Yi stood in the blood formation, licking his lips with a look of enjoyment, "How does it feel? Surprised?"
"The reason you didn’t discover the blood formations is simply because your level is too low."
"But it’s too early to be shocked; there’s more to come."
Jiang Yi stomped his foot, and a rumbling sound echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Outside the fortress, blood-red pillars of light shot up, and formations emerged from the ground of the Yuan battlefield.
Blood formations...
Blood formations were everywhere.
As far as the eye could see, the entire Yuan battlefield was dyed blood-red.
Meng Anwen’s face was extremely grim. He communicated with the formations in the fortress and saw everything clearly.
Inside and outside the fortress, there were blood formations, and a large number of blood formations covered a vast area.
Countless blood formations were connected, containing unimaginable powerful energy.
These energies were accumulated from the Yuan battlefield, where countless strong individuals and monsters had died, and their blood had been silently absorbed by the blood formations, only to erupt at this moment.
Jiang Yi laughed even more crazily, "See? See?"
"A total of 999 blood formations, and you didn’t discover them all these years."
"Too weak, really too weak!"
"You humans are truly incompetent!"
Meng Anwen said coldly, "Jiang Yi, what exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Yi did not answer Meng Anwen but muttered to himself, "I should have become a super-god 600 years ago, but it was all ruined by those idiots from the abyss and a few cowardly humans."
"I was besieged back then, and if it weren’t for them running away, I would have collected enough blood long ago."
"It’s all your fault, all your fault!"
"Fortunately, I am immortal and left a backup plan, allowing me to return as a king today."
"After today, I will become a super-god and the leader of the human race."
Meng Anwen said in a deep voice, "You may not succeed in advancing with the power of the blood formations."
"Short-sighted fool, you know nothing!" Jiang Yi shouted, "You don’t understand the blood formations at all. The blood formations were never meant to serve you. I am their creator, and only I can control them!"
Meng Anwen was shocked again, as Jiang Yi’s words revealed another layer of information.
Meng Anwen continued, "The blood formations first appeared 800 years ago, before you were born. Who are you really?"
Jiang Yi laughed, "You will know who I am when you become one with me and become my avatar."
"A level 96 formation master, not great, but good enough."
"When you become my avatar, I will help you reach the super-god level."
Lin Moyu sensed something was wrong and whispered, "Teacher, he’s stalling for time!" Meng Anwen also realized this and shouted, "Attack!"
Yan Kuangsheng and Bai Yiyuan attacked almost simultaneously.
Yan Kuangsheng swung his long blade, and a black killing aura wrapped in the law of killing swept down.
Bai Yiyuan’s iron fists also descended from the sky.
Meng Anwen pointed his finger, and the Shenxia Tower scattered light, forming a formation, and countless weapons flew towards Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was disdainful of their attacks and didn’t even bother to move.
He stood in the center of the blood formation, enveloped by a blood-red pillar of light, like a suit of armor.
The three attacks fell on the blood-red pillar of light, disappearing without a trace.
Jiang Yi said coldly, "It’s useless. With your level of attack, you can’t even break the blood formation, let alone deal with me."
"Just wait until I reach the super-god level, and then I’ll deal with you one by one."
At this moment, Jiang Yi looked at Lin Moyu beside Meng Anwen, "Little guy, I remember you. You were the one who brought the dragon pearl to Antares, right?"
"Thank you. Without you, it would have taken me much longer to revive."
"Antares is indeed powerful, but it only makes deals and won’t interfere here. You can only rely on yourselves."
Meng Anwen and the others’ continuous attacks had no effect.
The blood formation was like a turtle shell, truly unbreakable.
Lin Moyu’s eyes showed deep thought as he analyzed every word Jiang Yi said, looking for the key points.
The blood formations first appeared 800 years ago, before Jiang Yi was born.
This meant the blood formations had nothing to do with Jiang Yi.
Yet the current Jiang Yi claimed to be the creator of the blood formations.
Lin Moyu thought of the Demon Gold. He always referred to himself as "I," but this "I" did not refer to Jiang Yi, but to the Demon Gold.
"Jiang Yi was not influenced by the Demon Gold; he was possessed by it!"
Lin Moyu suddenly had this thought and felt his guess was correct.
"Jiang Yi was no longer Jiang Yi when he obtained the Demon Gold; he became the Demon Gold."
"It is even possible that the Demon Gold sought out Jiang Yi. There are no such coincidences in the world."
"The Demon Gold came from beyond the heavens, which is true. The detection technique wouldn’t lie, and it couldn’t be hidden."
"It is possible that a strong soul was attached to the Demon Gold and came here. It is also possible that the Demon Gold is a unique race."
"Antares said that the outside world is full of wonders, and nothing should be surprising."
Lin Moyu’s mind opened up, and he guessed various possibilities.
Finally, he got the answer.
The blood formations were evil and had strong side effects, affecting the soul. But for the current Jiang Yi, the blood formations had no harm.
In that era, with constant wars, it was indeed easier to collect the blood of strong individuals.
It was precisely because he needed to collect the blood of demon kings that Jiang Yi always charged at the forefront in every battle.
He was not fearless of sacrifice for the human race.
He was purely doing it for himself.
Moreover, he secretly buried blood formations in the Yuan battlefield and the fortresses.
All for the sake of soaring to the super-god level.
But he failed once, wasting hundreds of years.
He claimed to be immortal, but Lin Moyu didn’t believe there was truly an immortal existence in the world.
Just like the formation in front of him, there was no unbreakable formation.
It was just that the right method hadn’t been found.
If the method was hard to find, then he would use brute force to destroy it.
Becoming a super-god wasn’t that easy!
At this moment, the 999 blood formations were connected as one, like the Eternal Great Wall, with terrifying defense.
Then he would cut off their connection.
Lin Moyu said, "Teacher, activate the Eternal Great Wall!"
Meng Anwen’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he directly controlled the formation to activate the Eternal Great Wall.
For nearly a decade, Meng Anwen had been responsible for maintaining the Eternal Great Wall formation and had the strongest control over it. The Eternal Great Wall, which had just been shut down, was reactivated, and a powerful defensive barrier rose.
But the formation was obstructed, blocked by the blood-red pillars of light, unable to fully activate.
Meng Anwen exerted all his strength to control the formation, but it was still to no avail.
Jiang Yi laughed loudly, "It’s useless. With your level of formation mastery, you can’t compete with me!"
The blood formation continued to operate, converting the accumulated blood of hundreds of years into powerful energy, continuously pouring into Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi’s aura was rising, growing stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt struck the blood-red pillar of light, exploding into a sea of purple lightning!
