Chapter 262: Chapter 261: The Great Battle (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance)_1
"Fang Xi, with the power of the array behind you, you’ve killed my beloved disciple. I must tear your body into ten thousand pieces and annihilate your soul; only then will my hatred subside!"
Yuan Fei glared at Fang Xi, his face twisted with extreme venom.
Clearly, this Supreme Elder of the You Family had developed an extreme hatred for Fang Xi!
A chill ran through Fang Xi’s heart, but his face betrayed a mocking, nonchalant smile, "Core Formation elder... I’m so scared! And what about Master Yan? Why not call him out too? Let me witness the prowess of a Golden Core of the Nascent Soul major sect..."
"Hmph, to deal with you, I alone am enough. Didn’t the Song Family also rely on a third-grade array and an elder Formation Master at the peak of Foundation Establishment? Are they still around now?"
The purple brilliance in Yuan Fei’s eyes flickered continuously, seemingly attempting to see through the protective array of the island.
As for the Core Formation mid-stage Master Yan? Obviously, he was tasked with assaulting the Green Wood Sect of the Wood Kingdom.
Although Old Qing had been gravely wounded, being at mid-stage Core Formation, if not contained by another at the same level, he would still pose a significant nuisance.
"The Song Family, huh..."
Fear was evident in Fang Xi’s expression, "Could it be that the Yiling Valley has won over Prime Taoist Mu?"
"To break a third-grade array, there’s more than one method. How could simpletons like you know the sublime secrets of the Upper Sect’s techniques?"
Yuan Fei snorted coldly, and Core Formation-level magic power surged as thick, pitch-black iron stakes flew out from his sleeves.
Roar Roar!
Three fire dragons coiled around the iron stakes, causing them to erupt with terrifying might, clearly a third-grade treasure!
"To be able to see the ’Sealing Spirit Stake’ before you die, consider yourself lucky!"
As Yuan Fei spoke, he continuously cast magic spells onto the stakes, causing them to rapidly expand and grow enormous... forming the arrangement of the Three Talents!
Boom Boom Boom!
The three black iron stakes, like pillars that reached the heavens, thunderously drove into the spiritual veins near Dragon Fish Island.
The lake’s water surged wildly, with countless fish turning belly-up and floating to the surface.
The spiritual veins and earth energy near the entire Dragon Fish Island appeared to be destabilizing.
"This is..."
Fang Xi’s face turned pale, "A treasure that disrupts the earth’s veins and spiritual energy?!"
"Humph, you do have some insight... Haha, this ’Sealing Spirit Stake’ can temporarily seal the spiritual veins and spiritual energy... Even if Dragon Fish Island still has a hidden third-grade spiritual vein, it is now useless..."
Yuan Fei’s eyes flashed with an odd light, seemingly piercing through the array, "Oh? It seems there really isn’t any hidden third-grade spiritual vein... I overestimated you. But no matter... Even a second-grade spiritual vein under such a seal will struggle to exert its power... Now that your array has lost the support of the earth’s energy and spiritual veins, relying solely on Spirit Stones, its power will decrease by far more than a mere ten percent, won’t it?"
This treasure was borrowed from Master Yan and must be returned after use for the assault on the Green Wood Sect’s gate.
Although it still fell short of the ’Earth-shaking Array’, it was enough to reduce nearly half of a third-grade array’s power, which was already astounding!
Due to the sealing of the earth’s energy, a minor earthquake even occurred on Dragon Fish Island.
A great number of Cultivators turned into Escape Light, looking up at the sky in panic.
"What’s the fuss about?"
Zhong Hongyu watched and couldn’t help but scold, "Believe in the Island Master... he... he..."
Thinking of the earlier surge of Core Formation-level magic power, even she turned pale and looked to Yuan Feihong.
"Core Formation elders are attacking..."
Yuan Feihong’s hands were drenched in sweat, only he knew the terror of a Core Formation elder, which couldn’t possibly be resisted by those at Foundation Establishment!
Had it not been for the third-grade Great Array on Dragon Fish Island, he might have been waiting in despair for death...
"Island Master..."
Taishu Hong’s eyes held a cold gaze as he looked towards the Individual Cultivators, "Dragon Fish Island has been generous to all of you. If anyone dares to stir chaos tonight, they will be executed without mercy!"
Under attack from a Core Formation elder, there was a chance that some Individual Cultivators would think about ’abandoning the darkness to seek the light.’
Fortunately, in the Cultivation World, power was still supreme.
As long as the three at Foundation Establishment could hold on, there wouldn’t be any significant chaos—at least, that’s as long as the protective array remained active.
Otherwise, it would be like a scattered troop fleeing the falling tree...
...
On the edge of Dragon Fish Island, Fang Xi’s expression was as dark as water. Abruptly, he formed a magic spell, and countless black fogs surged in, engulfing his figure.
"Struggling in vain!"
Yuan Fei, surrounded by six fire dragons, suddenly released a fear-inducing third-grade talisman!
The talisman exploded with intense silver light, and as it traveled, the very space it passed through seemed to twist continuously. It was a third-grade ’Prohibition-breaking Talisman’!
Normally, a third-grade ’Prohibition-breaking Talisman’ would have a limited effect on a third-grade array, but under these circumstances, it was deadly.
Rustle Rustle!
The talisman struck the array, and the silver light erupted, dispersing the black fog, revealing Fang Xi attempting to flee and most scenes from Dragon Fish Island.
Roar Roar!
With Dragon Chanting, Yuan Fei turned into a streak of fire light, with astoundingly fast escape speed, he chased after Fang Xi.
Whoosh!
After this person entered the array, his expression suddenly changed; the six fire dragons roared, spewing out vast swathes of flames.
Clusters of black fog enveloped him, immediately closing the pathway created by the third-grade Prohibition-breaking Talisman, untouched by the flames.
"What?"
For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Yuan Fei’s face.
Crack! Crack!
In the void around him, the scenery of Dragon Fish Island and even the escaping Fang Xi shatter like the reflection of the moon in water, revealing a space of black and red.
In the center of the space stands a giant black tree with an immense trunk, its canopy obscuring the sky and blotting out the sun.
Fang Xi is standing under the tree, holding a green spiritual sword, surrounded by a circle of second-tier Puppets, many of which are in the form of monster beasts.
But there are also a few human figures among them.
Especially one in the center, with gray-white hair and a large head, wielding a huge Array Flag, waving it continuously.
A powerful magic power fluctuation of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage is constantly emanating from this person...
This scene causes You Kun’s eyes to twitch slightly: "Old Ling the Demon? And this Monster Tree... Where exactly is this? How is it possible that your array is unaffected by the ’Sealing Spirit Stake’? Impossible... Unless the energy you’re using for your array isn’t spiritual energy at all!"
’A Monster Tree forming a Demon Realm hardly needs spiritual energy...’ Fang Xi grumbles internally, but his hands don’t stop moving: "Less talk, I have two arrays here for you to witness, Senior!"
Whoosh, whoosh!
Under his control, the ’Nine Nether Profound Wood Array’ roars to life as pitch-black pillars of light keep crashing down.
In the void, numerous dark chains stretch out, spreading like tentacles towards You Kun.
Roar, roar!
You Kun’s complexion twitches slightly as he spews out a beam of red light from his mouth, within which a semi-transparent cover appears, topped with bright yellow flames - this is the ’Three-Yang True Fire’, a name of grand prestige in the Cultivation World!
This is a third-tier magic treasure—the Three Yang Divine Fire Cover!
The cover shields him, deflecting all the incoming pitch-black pillars, and the dark chains are burnt to ashes by the Three-Yang True Fire.
Yet, even so, spirit marks are constantly flickering on the cover, prompting a slight change of expression on You Kun’s face: "This formation is indeed unaffected and not weakened... its power is even comparable to an average third-tier medium-grade array..."
"Ao-woo!"
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t have much time to be surprised before he saw the opposing Puppets forming a battle array.
One after another, the Puppets open their large maws, spitting out Array Flags or Array Disks, inundating them with immense magic power.
Clouds of hazy, gray radiance appear, coalescing into a magnificent silver wolf phantom, which howls towards the sky.
Even within the array, it seems as if bright moonlight descends, empowering the wolf phantom with increasing magic until it reaches the third-tier level!
—Sky Wolf Battle Array!
"An array within an array, a chain formation... You are actually a third-tier Array Master?!"
You Kun senses the threat from the wolf and truly pales with shock.
He’s somewhat realizing that attacking Dragon Fish Island tonight might have been a mistake.
But, having experienced many storms and stress, he quells all such thoughts in an instant, spitting out a round pearl that’s entirely red.
Inside the Spirit Pearl, it appears as though nine little dragons are chasing and frolicking with one another, and the surface of the bead is covered with a multitude of flickering runes, moving unpredictably.
The moment it emerges, it unleashes a brilliant glow, transforming into three beams of red light that fall onto three Fire Dragons.
Roar, roar!
The three Fire Dragons coiling around You Kun’s body instantly roll and swell in size, their claws sharp and eyes livelier, lunging ferociously towards the wolf phantom, biting viciously at the vulnerable points on the wolf’s neck.
Unfortunately... The wolf is just a phantom with very little substance and continues to hurl wind blades, unharmed.
The two Fire Dragons pause, surprised, then with another roar, they transfer their power into the central Fire Dragon.
This one suddenly grows threefold and sprouts three heads, transforming into a three-headed Flood Dragon matching the wolf in size, entangling and battling it fiercely...
Fang Xi does not pay much attention to this battle with his Divine Consciousness.
Because You Kun also understands that within this dangerous formation, the only way to truly resolve the crisis is to first kill the Array Master.
After directing the three Fire Dragons to tangle with the wolf, he points at Fang Xi.
Roar, roar!
The last three Fire Dragons coiling beside him suddenly roar and charge toward Fang Xi beneath the Monster Tree!
’This tree looks extremely sinister at a glance; it might be one of the critical points of the Great Array...’
You Kun knows well that a third-tier Great Array can shift space, not expecting to take down Fang Xi immediately, but is intent on destroying this Monster Tree!
"Rise!"
Fang Xi brings out an Array Disk, embedded with dazzling top-grade Spirit Stones, and suddenly bellows.
Sheets of pitch-black light appear, breached one by one by the three Fire Dragons.
During this process, however, one Fire Dragon gets drawn into the fog and vanishes without a trace.
Facing the remaining two Fire Dragons, Fang Xi takes a deep breath, wields the Green Barley Sword, and slashes fiercely!
Swish!
A hundred-zhang-long streak of green Sword Light fills the heavens and earth!
The Immortal-slaying Sword Qi flashes wildly, engulfing one of the Fire Dragons within the Sword Light, erasing it in a few flickers!
The remaining Sword Qi continues unabated, striking the ’Three Yang Divine Fire Cover,’ causing even this magic treasure to tremble violently.
"A third-tier magic treasure?"
You Kun’s expression turns fierce as he channels the surge of his Core Formation level Magic Power into the last Fire Dragon: "Let’s see how many more swords you can produce?"
