Chapter 2349 - Breaking the Array

Chapter 2349 Breaking the Array

The Eight Sons of Life and Death’s Indestructible Great Array might be powerful, but Zhang Ruochen was not alone. It might not be impossible to break the array if he released Lord Bladehell, Lady Wind, Lord Sinluo, and Yue Tinghai from the Violet Gourd.

However, this was the home planet of the Yanluo Clan. Not only did they have The Eight Sons of Life and Death and Xi, but they also needed Yan Huangtu, Yan Wushen, and a large number of Supreme Saints.

If Lady Wind and the others were released, the Yanluo Clan would definitely view him as their greatest enemy and would only mobilize stronger forces to deal with them.

Zhang Ruochen reverted to his true form and said, “Wu Wuji is still in my hands. Do you not care about his life or death?”

“If Supreme Saint Ruochen kills Wu Wuji, there will naturally be someone with the surname Wu to avenge him,” said Xi.

As Xi said that, his eyes emitted a dark ray. He softly chanted two words, “Soul Capture.”

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s vision darkened and he felt dizzy.

Soul Capture was one of the most powerful techniques of the Path of Wiccan. With Xi’s cultivation, if he wanted to, he could control all living beings within a radius of 10,000 kilometers and be controlled by him.

Xi’s spiritual power was one of the best in the Yanluo Clan. It had reached the 65th level and was no weaker than Zhang Ruochen’s.

That was why he could use the Path of Wiccan to influence Zhang Ruochen.

Whoosh

Whoosh

The Eight Sons of Life and Death, who had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, all put their hands together. The power of the Path exploded from their bodies.

Four of them were covered in white light. Four of them were covered in black light.

The Power of Death and the Power of Life interweaved. Each of the eight was accompanied by a book. In addition, the book emitted both white and black light. A slew of enigmatic words jumped on it.

“The Indestructible Great Array is about to take shape. Zhang Ruochen’s defeat is already set. I didn’t expect to take him down so easily.” The cultivator in the wide black cloak on the 17th floor laughed hoarsely.

Yan Huangtu’s tensed nerves relaxed slightly, “Xi and The Eight Sons of Life and Death are working together. Even though I know them very well, I’m still afraid of them. Zhang Ruochen has never fought with them before and lacks vigilance. That’s why he was ambushed by Xi.

“Coming to the Yanluo Clan’s headquarters, even the Lan Ying and Que have to hide carefully. Zhang Ruochen exposed his tracks, so he’s doomed to die today,” said the cultivator in the wide black cloak.

Yan Huangtu did not let his guard down completely. His eyes stared at the array in the distance.

Xi chanted an ancient incantation. The ebony staff in his hand gave off a gray light.

Xi looked at the drowsy Zhang Ruochen and could not help but smile.

Killing Zhang Ruochen was something that many people wanted to do.

If Zhang Ruochen died in his hands, there would be endless benefits for him in the future.

All of a sudden, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, which had been dull, opened wide and burst with a fierce and terrifying light. His whole body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and his brain hurt.

“Oh no, it’s a spiritual power attack. How could he attack me with spiritual power?” said Xi.

Xi didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen had already divided his Saint Soul into six parts. Although the Soul Capture technique was powerful, it could not target the six Saint Souls at the same time. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen was only slightly affected.

The reason why he looked sleepy just now was that he was waiting for an opportunity.

The more Xi wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen, the greater the flaw in his state of mind and the weaker the defense of his spiritual power.

Zhang Ruochen took advantage of the situation. His spiritual power of the 65th level erupted in full force. It flew out like thousands of needles and rushed into Xi’s body. Even though Xi was shocked in time, he was unable to completely block it. His spiritual power was severely harmed.

Xi’s face turned extremely pale. He took a few steps back.

‘Zhang Ruochen… Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power is actually not weaker than mine… how is this possible? This is impossible…’ Xi thought. He was shocked. He quickly adjusted his state of mind and recuperated from the spiritual power injury. Xi cultivated the Deva Path of Great Wiccan, and his spiritual power was far superior to Zhang Ruochen’s.

The main reason Xi was injured by Zhang Ruochen was his desire to win.

The more Xi wanted to kill his opponent, the bigger his weakness would be.

Zhang Ruochen did not continue to attack Xi. In his opinion, the biggest threat was still The Eight Sons of Life and Death. His hands formed palm prints and struck out like lightning toward a Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm in front of him.

After breaking 30 shackles, Zhang Ruochen’s Demigod-level physique released a large amount of divine power. As he struck out, the air instantly exploded with a thunderous sound.

The Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm was calm and collected. The white Book of Life hovering above his head flipped quickly. His hands formed a mark to meet Zhang Ruochen’s palm print.

Boom

The moment the palm prints collided, dense words flew out from the other seven books and rushed into the light of the Book of Life above the Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

The combined power of The Eight Sons of Life and Death contained a certain degree of amplification.

Zhang Ruochen’s palm seemed to hit an iron wall. The other side did not move at all, but he was thrown backward.

The Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm behind Zhang Ruochen took advantage of the situation and took a step forward. His right hand formed a finger print and poked at Zhang Ruochen’s back.

Both his speed and strength had reached an incredible level.

He would be pierced through if he was hit by Zhang Ruochen’s fingertip, no matter how strong Zhang Ruochen’s physical body was. Swoosh

as

The space was distorted. The finger that was clearly aimed at his back pierced through Zhang Ruochen’s armpit.

Zhang Ruochen twisted his body in mid-air. Using his arm as a sword, he slashed at the neck of the Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm with a brilliant light.

The body of the Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm suddenly shrank and turned into a streak of black light. He retreated to his original spot.

Zhang Ruochen’s sword cut through the air.

In the other direction, another Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm seized the opportunity. He clenched his fist and shot out a thunderlight pillar as thick as a bucket.

The thunderlight pillar swooped down on Zhang Ruochen. It circled around Zhang Ruochen and flew back in the opposite direction, affected by the Profound Spatial Dimension. It collided with the Supreme Saint’s fist in the Hundred-Shackle Realm’s Great Perfection stage.

Rumble

The exchange just now seemed to be one move after another.

In fact, their speed was extremely fast. Other than a few elites like Yan Huangtu, the other cultivators could only see human figures flashing. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Ear-splitting sounds kept ringing.

Only the true elites understood the danger.

“Bell of Time.”

A large bell slowly condensed and formed from countless Mark of Time’s light spots, spinning rapidly, with Zhang Ruochen’s body as the center.

“Return to your positions.”

Any cultivator knew how terrifying the Power of Time was. The Eight Sons of Life and Death stopped attacking and returned to their positions. The power in their bodies burst out completely. They activated The Book of Death and The Book of Life above their heads.

BOOM!

The Bell of Time rang, and a large number of Mark of Time’s light spots fell down. Together with the sound waves, they rushed in all directions like waves.

The light of The Book of Death and The Book of Life collided with the Mark of Time’s light spots and quickly annihilated them.

BOOM!

The bell rang again.

Dense ancient characters flew out of The Book of Death and The Book of Life and collided with the Mark of Time’s light spots. The two disappeared into nothingness once again.

BOOM!

BOOM!

The bell kept ringing, but the Mark of Time’s light spots could not reach 900 meters away.

Xi’s spiritual power recovered. He stood at the edge of the array and observed Zhang Ruochen in the Bell of Time, he said, “It’s pointless. No power can break the Indestructible Great Array once it is activated. The Eight Sons of Life and Death can trap a Supreme Saint of the Banshi Isshou Realm for a moment, let alone you.”

An eight or nine-year-old child stood in a city courtyard filled with seven-colored begonias. His entire body was bathed in silver light.

That boy was the number one powerhouse of the Asura, Lan Ying.

Lan Ying looked in the direction of the battle ripples and revealed an evil smile. “What a powerful Indestructible Great Array. The Eight Sons of Life and Death of the Yanluo Clan are not easy to deal with!”

Hong Futu was four meters tall and his blood-red muscles were exposed. He stood not far away and his fists were bigger than an ordinary person’s head, he said in a deep voice, “That’s only if they have the chance to form an array and surround their opponent. Only then can they unleash their strongest power.”

Lan Ying nodded. “Que is more powerful than I thought. He actually found a scapegoat like Zhang Ruochen.”

“No matter how powerful he is, he’ll still be chased by us until he can only escape,” said Hong Futu.

Lan Ying shook his head and said, “If he didn’t have the Supreme Artifact, even if the two of us joined hands, we might not be his match. Que is very powerful. As long as I can devour him, I will definitely rise to a higher level.”

Hong Futu said, “Why don’t I devour Zhang Ruochen first? It is said that Zhang Ruochen has cultivated the Grade Two Saintwill. If I devoured him, I would definitely grow to be stronger than Que.”

“You’re probably right. However, Zhang Ruochen has fallen into the Indestructible Great Array. I’m afraid he has no chance of survival. What a delicious dish. I can only watch him be destroyed.” said Lan Ying. He shook his head and sighed.

Yan Huangtu’s spiritual power had always covered the entire city. Even if Lan Ying wanted to sneak attack The Eight Sons of Life and Death and let Zhang Ruochen out, the chance of success was slim.

Zhang Ruochen stood upright in The Indestructible Great Array, still calm and collected.

“Come out.”

Zhang Ruochen opened his left hand. A black droplet appeared above his palm. He said to himself, “I can only test your power.”

The black droplet was a Dark Space-time Matter.

BANG!

Zhang Ruochen’s five fingers shot out. He activated the Precepts of Time, Dimension, and a small number of Precepts of Darkness. The Precepts hit the Dark Space-time Matter. Instantly, the black droplet exploded and released a strong dark ray.

The entire world turned pitch-black in an instant.

The entire planet of the Yanluo Clan was covered by a black light screen at this moment. The outline of the star became dark and blurry.

The city where the Indestructible Great Array was located fell into an extremely dark state.

At the same time, the space expanded violently and attacked in all directions. The powerful space shock wave hit The Eight Sons of Life and Death. Even with the protection of the Indestructible Great Array, they were still thrown back.

“Oh no, this power…”

Xi gathered the ebony staff above his head. In front of him, a 10-meter-wide round Mark of Wiccan condensed. However, his body still flew out and fell into the ruins.

“The power of the Dark Space-time Matter in an instant is so powerful. Furthermore, I have only released about one-third of the power of Time, Dimension, and Darkness with my current enlightenment.”

With that in mind, Zhang Ruochen transformed into a ray of golden light and flew into the sky.

The Precepts of Dimension in his body surged out at the same time, condensing into dozens of swords and circling his body as he approached the light screen of the array.

“Dimensional Sword Dance, break.”

Dozens of swords condensed from Power of Dimension merged together and stabbed out.

Wherever the sword tip passed, space shattered into pieces.

The Sword Qi ripped the space where the array’s light screen was torn apart with a bang, creating a massive hole.

Zhang Ruochen followed behind the Dimensional Sword and flew out.

The Dimensional Sword Dance was a spatial technique that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated in the Dark Star. It was harder to cultivate than the high-level saint technique of the Thousand-Koan level. Of course, this technique was extremely powerful and could break through anything.

Zhang Ruochen vanished after flying out of the array. It was almost as if he had vanished into thin air.

Yan Huangtu rushed to the city at the first moment. There was a vast area of ruins under his feet. It was filled with broken walls, and the ground was filled with potholes. It was pitch-black.

The dark power corroded the entire city and the area covered by the array.

“What happened just now? What power did Zhang Ruochen use?” Yan Huangtu shouted and questioned The Eight Sons of Life and Death and Xi.

Although The Eight Sons of Life and Death were blown away by the dimensional shock wave, their defense was strong and they were not seriously injured.

However, everyone was weak, as if they had aged hundreds of years in an instant.

With blood on the corner of his mouth, Xi crawled out of the ruins and said, “Darkness… Dimension… Time… is… is a Dark Space-time Matter. It was discovered by Zhang Ruochen. Cough, cough.”

Yan Huangtu’s figure flashed and came to Xi’s side. He pressed his palm on his back.

Divine Qi surged out of Yan Huangtu’s palm, helping Xi refine the Power of Darkness that had invaded his body.

Xi’s hair turned white, and his face looked like a dead person. He said, “It’s a liquid Dark Space-time Matter. Even though it’s just a drop, it expanded the space thousands of times in an instant. A speck of dust can expand to the size of a palace, or even larger.

“Even if the space around Zhang Ruochen expanded, the space shock wave that burst out could kill a Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm in an instant.

“In addition, a large amount of Power of Time and a small amount of Power of Darkness gushed out. It must be because Zhang Ruochen’s Path of Darkness is still in its early stages, with little Power of Darkness in the Dark Space-time Matter.

“That’s why I’m still alive.”

Yan Huangtu’s face turned ugly. He said, “If the Dark Space-time Matter is so terrifying, doesn’t that mean Zhang Ruochen is invincible? Who can control him on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting?”

Xi shook his head, “It’s not that simple! Although the Dark Space-time Matter could erupt with unparalleled power in an instant, it was difficult to control this power. Just now, the space was so small. Zhang Ruochen was also in the attack range of the Dark Space-time Matter.

“If I’m right, Zhang Ruochen must be injured. And it’s quite severe.”
