Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 499: Divine Pattern Diagram

The group of five did not hesitate and continued to venture deeper into the ancient city.

They all noticed that as they proceeded, the depletion rate of their mana and lifespan was increasingly faster.

It wouldn’t be long before their cultivation realms would also be diminished.

"At this rate of depletion, I fear that ordinary Celestial Emperor Realms couldn’t last even half a day."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, if it weren’t for his mana being far thicker and purer than those of the same level, his cultivation realm might already be quickly diminishing.

As for the loss of lifespan, he wasn’t too worried. Although he was only at the Celestial Emperor Realm in cultivation, he had cultivated the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture, making his body incomparably superior to that of a typical Martial Cultivator.

Moreover, he had refined the Blood Divine Format and possessed the Heart of the Blood God, so his lifespan, though not comparable to the Divine Human Realm, was enough to rival those like Xiao Ningyue at the Celestial Venerable Realm.

"No wonder those seniors warned me not to easily enter this city before reaching the Divine Human Realm."

Ying Hongyu spoke, "Even if we don’t encounter other dangers, this Time Divine Array alone could unknowingly drain our cultivation and lifespan to death."

"Great crises are often accompanied by great opportunities. Although this Time Divine Array is terrifying, if we can find the inheritance of the Divine Human Realm, rapidly improve our cultivation power, and perhaps even step into the Divine Human Realm, then resisting the erosion from this Time Divine Array might not be impossible."

Xiao Ningyue mused slightly, then spoke.

"Look over there."

Suddenly, Xueyao exclaimed.

The group turned and gazed toward where Xueyao pointed, only to see several corpses lying in front of a very dilapidated palace.

These corpses were all with white hair, looking dry and shriveled, seemingly all dead from exhausting their lifespans.

Moreover, judging from the clothes on these corpses, they were likely the people who entered before them.

"It seems they must have touched the forbidden formations of the Time Divine Array, which caused their rapid demise."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke.

"Following that Huo Gong might not be safe either."

Ying Hongyu chuckled slightly and said.

"We must be cautious too so as not to trigger the banes of the Divine Array and end up like them."

Xiao Ningyue warned the group.

The five continued cautiously forward, trying to avoid those palaces with nearby corpses.

Even though they clearly understood that the buildings with corpses might contain treasure resources or even inheritances, they also knew that their current cultivation power wasn’t enough to venture inside.

Moments later, they arrived in front of a gigantic palace; this palace was not only grander than the surrounding ones but also well-preserved, almost as though it was new.

Most notably, there were no corpses around this palace.

"This palace is situated at the core of this area, and it must have been the residence of a powerful individual, likely containing strong inheritance."

Wen Qinglan gazed at the magnificent palace before them and said.

"Although there are no corpses around this palace, if it truly holds powerful inheritance, it must be filled with dangers."

Xueyao commented.

"Let’s have a look inside; we don’t have much time left."

Xiao Ningyue pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"All right."

Upon hearing Xiao Ningyue, Wang Ruoxie and the others nodded in agreement; they then stepped forward towards the palace.

Once inside, they saw many corpses on the ground, with blood still fresh, indicating they had just died - likely those who entered with Huo Gong.

"It seems Huo Gong and his group have already entered this palace before us."

Ying Hongyu’s eyes narrowed as he said solemnly.

"Look at the mysterious patterns on the walls."

Wen Qinglan directed the group.

Upon hearing this, all directed their gaze towards the walls of the hall, which were almost entirely covered in ancient patterns that formed incredibly complex designs.

The deeper they looked, the more complex the designs became.

Upon seeing the last few designs, the group felt their heads throb painfully and instantly dared not look further.

"These patterns are strange."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes flickered as he murmured.

Although he could not discern what these patterns represented or understand the mysterious symbols they were composed of, he could feel an ominous energy emanating from them.

"Could these deaths be related to these patterns?"

Xiao Ningyue said with a hint of intrigue.

"Let me try."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie mused for a moment before stepping forward to the wall, raising his palm, and placing it upon one of the patterns. Instantly, a surge of mana flowed into the pattern.

"Hum..."

At that moment, space vibrated violently, and then everyone saw the pattern glow brilliantly.

The next instant, a terrifying vigorous qi erupted from the pattern, shooting towards Wang Ruoxie.

"Ruoxie, watch out."

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, dodge quickly."

Xiao Ningyue and the others were astonished and hurriedly shouted.

They could sense that the vigorous qi contained an immensely terrifying power, enough to threaten their lives.

Wang Ruoxie’s heart trembled fiercely at this moment, and without a moment’s hesitation, he retreated rapidly to avoid the qi.

"These mysterious symbols must have been left by those Divine Human Realm experts, and these divine patterns formed from them might be their inheritance."

Wang Ruoxie glanced at the group and said.

"If that’s the case, we might be able to comprehend them. If we gain something from it, it won’t be a wasted journey."

Ying Hongyu looked towards the patterns on the wall and said.

"That’s right, if we could use these divine patterns to greatly enhance our cultivation power, we might not need to worry about the threat of the Time Divine Array anymore."

Xiao Ningyue nodded and said.

Without hesitation, the five began examining the designs from the first pattern.

The first pattern consisted of roughly dozens of divine patterns, making it the easiest to comprehend.

Wang Ruoxie let his divine thought enter the first pattern, immediately feeling a hugely powerful force enveloping his divine thought.

Suddenly, he felt as if he was completely merged within, or rather, he had transformed into one of the divine patterns.

"This is the Fire Technique, this is the Thunder Technique, this is the Wood Technique..."

As time slowly passed, Wang Ruoxie began to comprehend various heavenly techniques from these divine patterns.

He finally seemed to understand what divine patterns are.

Divine patterns are symbols created by Divine Human Realm experts, using divine power as a foundation to communicate with the Power of Heaven and Earth, integrate Law Profound Techniques, and consolidate into symbols.

In fact, it could be said that to those in the Divine Human Realm, divine patterns are like words, each divine pattern containing distinct Law Profound Techniques.
