Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 135 The Beginning and End of the Event
"Shenhuang is really powerful, everyone's skirts are torn, don't fight, goodbye!"
Catherine, who had already retreated to the core formation, stepped on it heavily, and all the bloods present under the sacred tree disappeared in an instant and teleported away.
The Nine Colored Divine Phoenix is still in the position of fighting Catherine, and she is not not not chasing, but has more important things to do.
The three holy fruits she protected were more or less infected with blood qi, and if they were not dispersed in time, they would probably "deteriorate".
"Sister, don't you chase it?"
"The Holy Fruit is important, and where they teleport still needs to be investigated, so they can't be in a hurry." The Divine Phoenix hurriedly took out the Holy Fruit, and carefully and repeatedly used the Holy Light to disperse the blood and qi infected in the fruit little by little.
"This group of blood clans is really angry with me! They even broke into my secret garden to steal the fruit! Yaoxing was so angry that he couldn't do it.
"Catherine's plan is thorough, I don't know how many years she has been preparing, it's normal to suffer a loss this time, I will make her pay." The Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix was quite calm, and while dissipating the blood and qi of the fruit, he treated Yaoxing, who had suffered a flesh wound.
"What does a bad woman want to do when she grabs the fruit?"
"The normal Holy Fruit belongs to the light attribute, and it is useless for the Blood Clan, but if it is infected with blood qi and some special treatments, the huge amount of energy in the Holy Fruit can be absorbed by them. We use the Holy Fruit to help break through to the Soul Heaven level and the God Destroying level, and other races can do the same, Catherine should be about to break through to the Martial God level. ”
"Bad women are more than a thousand years old, and they have to break through the Martial God, they are so weak!" Yaoxing said disdainfully.
"Catherine is not weak, she is not a hundred years old and is a supreme dark mage, haven't you been injured by her?"
"Hmph, when I destroy the god level, I can win her casually, sister, give me one of the holy fruits." Yaoxing hadn't eaten the holy fruit yet, and he wanted to know what the holy fruit tasted like.
"You can break through to the God Destroying level by yourself, and it's a bit of a waste to give you the Holy Fruit, it's better to give it to those partners with less talent."
The most important role of the Holy Fruit in the Nine Colored Divine Phoenix is to help the spirit beast break through to the Soul Heaven level or the God Destroying level, which can be said to be an extremely important strategic resource, which is also the reason why the Divine Phoenix gave up pursuing Catherine twice to protect the Holy Fruit.
"Huh? Don't give me food......" Yaoxing was very disappointed, and most of his spirit was lost at once.
"You, you know how old you are, and besides, if the secret garden needs combat power, the fruit will be used for you to break through the god destroying level."
Yaoxing was full of vitality in an instant, and even looked forward to the fact that the secret garden would be in trouble and need to go out on his own.
With the ability of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, it didn't take much time to completely dispel the infected blood qi in the Holy Fruit. After about a quarter of an hour, the blood qi was completely dissipated, and the three holy fruits recovered from their reddish state in gold, shining golden and exuding a rich fruity fragrance.
Yaoxing looked at the fruit and smelled the fruity aroma and drooled, and wanted to ask for it from the Nine Colored Divine Phoenix.
Shenhuang didn't give her a chance, so she directly put away the holy fruit and said, "Catherine may still be in the secret garden, let's go find her." Thunder Cang, White Fire, you are responsible for cleaning up the remaining blood clans in the secret garden, act now! ”
"Yes!"
Lei Cang turned into a spirit eagle and spread his wings and flew away, and the white fire turned into a horse and galloped away.
……
The virtual main array, one of the three main formations of the blood clan.
The purple mystical brilliance flashed, and the virtual main array, which originally only had one dark priest to maintain the operation of the main array, was suddenly "overcrowded", Catherine, the three archbishops, the ten dark priests, and a group of judges, blood knights, punishers, and elite blood clan warriors all teleported over, and most of the high-end combat power of the Scarlet Holy See was here.
If you want to teleport a large number of people to Modoc's teleportation array, Catherine needs to bring her men here first, just as they were the first to arrive when they came in.
"Blood Empress" Catherine, this year is 1,169 years old, the blood clan is second only to the elves of the longevity race, the lifespan of ordinary blood clans is two thousand years old, Catherine is a supreme-level dark magician, and the lifespan will be greatly extended, plus the identity of the Scarlet Holy See Empress is easy to get some heavenly treasures, there is no problem with longevity.
In other words, Catherine is still "young".
It's not that if you have a lifespan of two thousand years, you will definitely be able to live to two thousand years old, the living conditions of ordinary blood clans are worse than those of humans, and even worse than orcs with few resources, which is especially obvious in the Eternal Night Spirit Kingdom, another country of the blood clan that practices an aristocratic system like the Nalan Empire.
After Catherine seized the position of Empress of the Scarlet Holy See more than 600 years ago, she reformed internal affairs with iron and blood, suppressed rebels, and made the power of the whole country highly concentrated in her hands, and then took a series of measures to make the living conditions of ordinary blood clans in the Scarlet Holy See much better.
Catherine, despite her uncertain temperament, is a very good empress.
Perhaps it is balanced by the long lifespan, whether it is strength or magic adaptability, the blood clan grows slower than humans, Catherine was able to break through to the supreme level dark mage at the age of 89, and she is a gifted existence in the blood clan.
Compared to her almost unprecedented magical talent, Catherine's strength cultivation talent is very average, and she has relied on time and resources to reach the Martial Saint level when she becomes a queen, but she is stuck at the peak of the Martial Saint level and cannot advance an inch.
Not everyone can achieve the god level, and Catherine knows that she needs to use foreign objects to achieve the Martial God.
Foreign objects that can help people break through to the god level must be artifact-level things, the question is how many artifact-level things can there be in this world? And it's an extremely precious thing that helps people break through.
Catherine can't find it herself, so she can only grab it from others, and the nearest place is the Spirit Beast Secret Garden in the territory of the Spirit Summoning Holy Country, which is at war with the Scarlet Holy See for many years, as far as Catherine knows, the Holy Fruit there happens to have this function.
It's just that the holy fruit is a light attribute, not only does it have no effect on the blood clan, but it is also a "poison", but this is not difficult for a supreme-level dark magician, and the method of changing the attribute can still be thought of for decades or hundreds of years.
However, the real difficulty is how to pick the holy fruit under the guard of the god-destroying level Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, Catherine's changeable temperament has no arrogance, and the strength of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, who thinks that she has lived longer than her, is stronger than her, and it is impossible to succeed if she kills directly to the Secret Garden.
Catherine needed to make a perfect plan, she used the Shadow Transformation Technique to disguise herself as an ordinary Spirit-Summoning Saint Nation for several years in a row, and entered the Spirit Beast Secret Garden to explore it herself, and traveled to every corner of the Secret Garden, even where the Holy Tree was located.
Catherine kept every mountain and river in the Spirit Beast Secret Garden in mind, and with her super-first-class formation knowledge, she created a formation that imitated the boundary membrane, and connected it with the ancient teleportation array, ordinary absorption array and some auxiliary function arrays, and then used multiple large and small array eyes as fulcrums to form a large array covering the entire territory of the secret garden.
The three main arrays represent the main functions of this large array.
The Realm Main Array produces a Boundary Membrane to block the inside and outside of the Secret Garden.
The random teleportation of the Void Main Array can disrupt the situation in the Secret Garden and facilitate follow-up actions, while the directional teleportation ensures that the Scarlet Holy See is the only force that can enter and exit the Secret Garden.
The main array is responsible for absorbing energy to ensure the operation of the large array, and at the end, absorbing the blood and qi of the entire secret garden, absorbing it and injecting it into the holy tree through the roots, infecting the holy fruit and changing its attributes.
The Great Array created by Catherine was her best tool to capture the Holy Fruit.
The next step is to make a plan, Catherine's plan is very detailed, from the overall process of winning the fruit, to the small things that each soldier and each high-end combat force have to do, and she has left a lot of room for error before finally capturing the holy fruit.
The most crucial part of the plan is her childhood sweetheart, "Shadowless" Brad, an assassin as gifted as she is.
Brad is not only Catherine's most loyal follower but also her staunchest suitor, yet Catherine doesn't have much feeling for him, and perhaps for the empress to be the strongest in the world is more important than love.
But Brad doesn't care about Catherine's attitude, he just wants to be her sharpest sword and help her accomplish what she wants to accomplish.
Brad's mission is to ambush the top of the sacred tree with superb stealth and concealment, wait for the god phoenix to intercept the blood qi and interfere, and then drag the god phoenix to let Catherine pick the holy fruit.
The task of a total of a few dozen words is indeed the most arduous, and only he can do it in the entire Scarlet Church, and Catherine can only count on him.
The plan is drawn up, all is prepared, and the next step is to implement it.
The first step is to infiltrate the Secret Garden.
It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but the beginning of Catherine's plan is not difficult, because she has done it several times, even if the Holy King appeared at the entrance of the Secret Garden, she could not see through Catherine's disguise, and successfully entered the Secret Garden with a few of her subordinates under the eyes of the Holy King.
The second step is to build a large array.
This step is not difficult, with the previous exploration, Catherine is very familiar with the Spirit Beast Secret Garden, and the subordinates brought in are all shrewd and capable people, and they have completed the construction while most people are still seeking spirit beasts in Thunder Cliff, Burning Fire Plains and other places.
The third step is to activate the large array.
This is even simpler, the large array was created by Catherine herself, and it is like an arm command. Catherine used a large number of high-level energy crystals collected over the years as the energy source for the beginning of the large array, first activated the virtual main array, created a random teleportation covering the entire secret garden, and then immediately teleported to the main array to generate a boundary film to block the inside and outside of the secret garden, and finally activated the main array to absorb energy to maintain the large array.
The fourth step is to slaughter living beings.
In order to obtain enough blood qi to infect the Holy Fruit, the easiest and most direct way is to kill. Catherine used the Void Main Array to bring in the Blood Clan warriors who had been waiting in the capital Modoc for a long time, and then teleported to various formations, taking advantage of the time when the human spirit beasts were randomly teleported and stunned, and slaughtered even ordinary animals.
During this period, Catherine herself also did a few things, she led the high-level combat power to the Holy Tree to set up a core array, containing the top combat power of the Nine Colored Divine Phoenix and other secret gardens, so that the Nine Colored Divine Phoenix mistakenly thought that she was plotting against the Holy Tree, but she used the large array to secretly calculate the time when the Holy Fruit would ripen.
Catherine also provoked the Divine Phoenix to make a move, and fought with her lightly, testing the strength of the Divine Phoenix a little, and it was at this time that Brad took the opportunity to go to the sacred tree.
However, Catherine didn't expect the main array of the realm to be breached, but fortunately, she left enough room for error to let the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom break through the boundary membrane "only 1 point".
The fifth step is to seize the holy fruit.
This was the hardest step in the whole plan, and it was also the most detailed step for Catherine.
According to the calculated ripening time of the holy fruit, Catherine activated the large array to let the blood and qi accumulated in the slaughter gather into the main array, and then sent her henchman Dark Priest "Dark Sacred Codex" to control the main array to inject blood and qi into the sacred tree, and she rushed to the top of the tree.
As she expected, the Divine Phoenix wanted to intercept the blood qi, and it was the star dragon that didn't look very smart to meet her, and she didn't need to use all her strength to accumulate strength for the upcoming battle to win the results.
The archbishops also deliberately slowed down the breakthrough according to her arrangement, and at this time the fruit was about to ripen, and the time was just right.
However, Brad blew himself up, which was not part of her plan.
The Phoenix is stronger than Catherine expected, and Brad has to blow himself up to complete the task of dragging the Phoenix down.
God-level powerhouses should not be restrained, let alone give their lives easily, but Brad's self-explosion shows that the true love of the blood clan really exists like blood. Brad was willing to give everything for Catherine and was ready to give his life from the start.
The moment Brad blew himself up, Catherine's blood core also trembled, and she felt unprecedented sadness.
Then she rushed to the top of the sacred tree, the holy fruit, and the first thing she did was to put away Brad's slightly cracked blood core.
The next picking of the holy fruit was also relatively smooth, Catherine finally got her wish and included the holy fruit in the space ring, in order to prevent the divine phoenix from chasing, she deliberately did not take all the holy fruits away, and the number left behind was also carefully considered.
Three of the five holy fruits were left, more than half of them, the divine phoenix would not give up the holy fruit to chase her, if only one or two were left for her, the divine phoenix might catch up with her ruthlessly.
Perhaps wanting to know how strong the Divine Phoenix was to force Brad to blow himself up, Catherine fought hard with her before retreating, and suffered a small loss.
Step 6: Evacuate the Secret Garden.
It's the easiest step to take now.
