Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"The sect founded by the Martial King does have some substance!"

The grand array formed a dome-like cover resembling a large bowl, flipped upside down, protecting the Extreme Martial Sect and continuously absorbing the essence qi from the surrounding heaven and earth to strengthen itself.

At the same time, the mountains were also vibrating, combining momentum with the grand array, extending mighty power in all directions.

"At this moment, even if the Concentrated Spirit Demon Fiend approached, its divine soul would be crushed by this mighty power!"

Wei Fan sensed the invisible mighty power for a moment and instantly came to this conclusion. This was the strongest mighty power of a grand array he had ever seen; even the mighty power emanating from the Imperial Capital did not compare to this array. The Martial King who founded the Extreme Martial Sect must have put a lot of effort into this grand array back in the day.

Moreover, this grand array has not only this capability.

"You stay here, I’ll go take a look!"

Wei Fan left Ji Qingyue and floated towards the Extreme Martial Sect’s grand array.

Inside the grand array, countless disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect stared in shock at Wei Fan. The sect had existed for thousands of years, and the number of times the grand array was activated could be counted on one hand.

Disciples who had read the sect’s miscellaneous records remembered it being activated only twice: once during the Battle of the Fallen Saint, when the sect’s founding Martial King master fell, and the sect’s mountain protection array was forced to be activated.

The other time was when the Demon Hunter Organization descended upon the Wilderness and almost clashed with the Desert Martial Alliance, and the Extreme Martial Sect activated the grand array then.

Both times were earth-shattering events, and this time, it was actually because of a Martial Venerable, something the founding master could never have imagined, that the grand array he set up would one day be used to guard against a Martial Venerable.

"Is this Wei Fan? He looks younger than me!"

"Not just young, reportedly not even twenty years old, simply a frightening prodigy!"

"Does he plan to break through our Extreme Martial Sect’s grand array with his own strength? This is the array set by the Martial King, and only a Martial King can break it."

"How did the sect provoke this Killing God? I’ve heard that the sects that provoked him no longer exist!"

...

The disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect whispered softly, all looking up at Wei Fan.

"The Martial King Array, huh?"

Wei Fan raised his eyebrows and slowly lifted his fist, intending to test if he could break the array set by the Martial King.

"Stop!"

Jiang Li couldn’t hold back any longer, he flew out from the depths of the Extreme Martial Sect, coming to the side of the grand array’s light screen to confront Wei Fan: "Wei Fan, don’t push us too far. You killed our sect elder, and we let it go, but now you attack the Extreme Martial Sect..."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect were somewhat dumbfounded. The sect leader’s tone was no longer as dominant as before, but like a young girl who had been wronged.

The Extreme Martial Sect had never suffered such a great humiliation; having an elder slaughtered without daring to avenge was one thing, but having the killer come to settle accounts was something else.

Wei Fan pulled his fist back: "I killed your sect elder because he was courting death. I said whoever provokes me, I will destroy them entirely. Your Extreme Martial Sect relied on its strong influence to try to suppress me, but I’m just more skilled. Don’t make it look like I’m bullying you.

There are so many sects in the world, why don’t I go after them, but I come for your Extreme Martial Sect?

If you are innocent, why would you open the grand array to kill me before I even reached your sect?"

Jiang Li was stunned; opening the grand array was merely to guard against this Killing God, but to him, it became an attempt to kill him.

Would it be expected for this Killing God to come, and we respectfully invite him into the mountain gate?

His expression was very unpleasant: "What exactly do you want? The Extreme Martial Sect simply doesn’t want mutual destruction, not because we’re afraid of you!"

It was truly intolerable; he had lowered his stance, but Wei Fan was still aggressive.

Wei Fan’s expression was as calm as an ancient well: "Either the Extreme Martial Sect disbands, or I kill you all. It’s that simple; you make the decision yourselves!"

He didn’t necessarily want to kill all the thousands of disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect; most of them were innocent. As long as the sect disbanded and surrendered its resources, it would be enough.

Jiang He flew up: "Senior brother, don’t waste words with him, when has the Extreme Martial Sect ever feared anyone? If we disband, what differences are there compared to being killed!"

Relying on the array set by the Martial King, if they were scared by one name into disbanding, they would be the laughingstock of Jianghu.

"Wei Fan, that day my junior brother Jiang Yi went only to mediate your conflict with the Mist Smoke Sect, without malice, yet you killed him. Bullying isn’t supposed to be like this!"

Another elder from the Extreme Martial Sect flew up, glaring at Wei Fan.

"Whether there was malice, you know better than I. My matter with Mist Smoke Sect has nothing to do with your Extreme Martial Sect, isn’t it because of your sect’s power that you wanted to suppress me from exacting vengeance on Mist Smoke Sect."

Wei Fan gently shook his head: "No more nonsense, Jianghu is about fists. Now I give you ten seconds to consider, disband the Extreme Martial Sect yourselves, or I will disband it!"

Jiang Li coldly said: "No need for ten seconds, I can tell you directly that the Extreme Martial Sect will not disband. If you have the skill, come in!"

As he spoke, he and Jiang He retreated a few steps, sneering at Wei Fan outside the grand array.

Although Wei Fan managed to take down Niu Dingtian and He Jiuling, breaking through the mountain protection array of the Extreme Martial Sect was still beyond him. If the Martial King Array could be easily broken by a Martial Venerable, then the Martial King wouldn’t have needed to put effort into setting such an array.

"All disciples beware, if Wei Fan attacks the grand array, retaliate immediately!" Jiang Li snorted coldly.

In an instant, the power surged from countless disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect, starting to connect with the key nodes of the grand array. Moreover, an elderly man with graying hair held a golden big banner, floating into the sky, gazing at Wei Fan outside.

The banner flowed with light, engraved with countless mysterious patterns, its aura merging into one with the entire grand array.

As the big banner waved, the entire grand array began to ripple, its momentum growing increasingly terrifying.

The array set up by the Martial King naturally possesses the ability to kill enemies, which is one of the foundations of the Extreme Martial Sect.

"Wei Fan, I’ll give you one more chance. Leave immediately, and the grievances between you and the Extreme Martial Sect can be written off. No matter the circumstances in the future, the Extreme Martial Sect will not be your enemy!"

Jiang Li was still making a final attempt, truly unwilling to make an enemy of such a seven-colored golden-bodied demon.

If Wei Fan is not killed today, the Extreme Martial Sect will inevitably be annihilated someday. If an agreement can be reached, he truly did not want to completely fall out with Wei Fan.

But in terms of killing Wei Fan, he wasn’t very confident. If Wei Fan realizes he can’t resist the grand array, he could easily retreat.

Wei Fan’s expression turned cold as well: "Do not let your foolishness drag down innocent people. I’ll also give you one more chance, disband the Extreme Martial Sect, and I will spare every one of you."

As he spoke, dazzling golden light began to rise from his body, his skin turned to a golden hue, and a seven-colored halo appeared behind him.

Under the powerful aura, fierce winds arose around them, the power of heaven and earth surged, and the light curtain of the grand array rippled in response, resisting the aura emitted by Wei Fan.

Jiang Li’s pupils contracted violently as he inhaled sharply: "Golden Body Eighth Forging!"

Wasn’t this demon only at Golden Body Seventh Forging recently? In such a short time, he’s broken through to Golden Body Eighth Forging.

At this rate, he might directly become a Martial King within a few months.

Jiang He felt his scalp prickling: "How is this possible..."

His voice trembled somewhat. The most gifted of Extreme Martial Sect was the current sect leader Jiang Li, but he recalled Jiang Li had reached Golden Body Eighth Forging only when he was nearly three hundred years old.

Being under twenty years old and achieving Golden Body Eighth Forging, it’s simply astounding.

With such a demon, should they really fight to death?

"It seems you believe I am unable to deal with this grand array!"

Wei Fan raised his hand and punched outward. With that punch, the essence qi of heaven and earth surged violently; he seemed like a meteor crashing against the light curtain of the grand array.

Boom...

The mountains and rivers trembled briefly, Wei Fan’s fist struck the light curtain, destructive ripples swept outward, destroying a forest, countless large trees were uprooted and shattered in mid-air.

"The Martial King Array is indeed impressive!"

Wei Fan’s eyes revealed a different color; his punch was enough to kill Niu Dingtian and He Jiuling simultaneously, yet he could not break the array, it was akin to an ant trying to shake a tree.

"It’s a Martial King Array, Wei Fan, you can’t break it. Extreme Martial Sect doesn’t want to oppose you. We were wrong about the previous incident. If you continue, we won’t be polite either!"

Jiang Li spoke again, feeling extremely aggrieved.

As the dignified sect leader of Extreme Martial Sect, when had he ever been so humble? Clearly, the mountain protection array was being attacked, yet he had to keep retreating.

The reason was Wei Fan’s cultivation speed once again shocked him, preventing that elder controlling the array from commanding a counterattack from the grand array.

"Just one wrong word and it’s over? Everyone who offends me just says ’it’s my fault,’ then anyone can step on me."

As he spoke, his forehead glowed, and the Tiger Soul Saber flew out from above his primordial spirit: "Let’s see how you’re ’not polite’!"

As true essence surged into it, the Tiger Soul Saber shimmered with cold light, emitting boundless sword intent.

A hundred-zhang-long sword aura appeared, he raised it high with both hands and fiercely slashed.

"Teach him a lesson!" Jiang Li saw Wei Fan take out his top-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldier, and spoke to the elder controlling the big banner.

Upon hearing this, the elder unfolded the big banner in mid-air, slashing toward Wei Fan from a distance.

The next moment, a hundred-zhang-long sword shadow rose on the light curtain of the grand array, sweeping horizontally towards Wei Fan.

Seeing this, Wei Fan turned the sword aura to clash with the sword shadow!

Boom!

In an instant, he just felt his arm tremble, a force that even he found hard to withstand surged forth like towering waves, the sword aura shattered after holding for a breath, then his body involuntarily retreated, sliding tens of meters in the air before stopping.

"You cannot break the grand array; we haven’t exerted our full strength. If we fully activate the array, it wouldn’t be as simple as just repelling you!"

Even though Wei Fan was at a disadvantage, Jiang Li still spoke softly.

Of course, not because he’s particularly kind-hearted, but because he knows he can’t provoke this demon Wei Fan, and if there were even eighty percent certainty, he would have already taken ruthless action against Wei Fan.

The one who becomes the sect leader of Extreme Martial Sect is by no means a merciful person.

Though they didn’t exert full force, being able to withstand a slice from the Martial King Array even proves Wei Fan’s fearfulness, for if it were him, he would have been slain by the array.

"The Martial King Array indeed has something to it!"

Wei Fan also showed delight in challenge, unhurried in breaking the array, wanting to see the limit of the Martial King Array.

He put away the Tiger Soul Saber, Jiaolong Sunset Bow and three arrows appeared in his hand: "You have not given your all, nor have I!"
