Chapter 377: Huang Xuanzhi
Since cooperation had come knocking at his door, Liu Bai naturally would not refuse it.
Although he still did not know exactly how strong Huang Xuanzhi was, he was definitely much stronger than these three pieces of trash, so Liu Bai had already prepared himself mentally.
Of course, the prerequisite for cooperation was settling the division of spoils first. Otherwise, no one would be able to trust the others afterward, and this so called cooperation would become a joke.
"Cooperation is fine, but after we succeed, the quasi Saint Grade blood essence will be split equally among the five of us. In other words, the two of us will take forty percent!"
Liu Bai's words caused the expressions of the three opposite him to change slightly, while Lin Cang coldly said, "We came to cooperate with you, not her!"
Clearly, he looked down on Jiu You, who was not even a Heavenly Sovereign yet. However, as the person involved, Jiu You could not refute him.
Liu Bai merely spread his hands and said nothing.
The meaning was obvious. These were his terms. If they refused, then there would be no cooperation.
He had already figured out that among the three, the one truly capable of making decisions was Kong Ling'er. The other two were arrogant and clearly not suited for negotiations, so it was obvious they had already decided beforehand to let Kong Ling'er handle the discussion.
Seeing Liu Bai's attitude, Kong Ling'er hesitated for a moment before finally gritting her teeth and saying, "Fine, forty percent it is!"
Lin Cang and Xiao Tian immediately looked over with dissatisfaction, but after seeing the subtle look in Kong Ling'er's eyes, they swallowed the words of objection that had reached their lips.
"Then, happy cooperation."
Liu Bai could easily guess what these three were planning.
However, he did not care, because he had the exact same thoughts. They were merely using each other, so there was no point saying too much.
Afterward, Kong Ling'er explained the plan the three had originally discussed.
It was simple. They would use the quasi Saint Grade blood essence beast as bait and set up a trap to confine Huang Xuanzhi. Then the four of them would capture the blood essence beast as quickly as possible before retreating.
Simply put, they did not even dare entertain the thought of directly fighting Huang Xuanzhi.
"It seems Huang Xuanzhi has left quite a deep shadow in your hearts…" Liu Bai could not help but laugh after hearing the plan.
"Hmph. Do you really think the title of number one genius among the flying beast race is undeserved?" Xiao Tian of the Heaven Dragon Crane Clan snorted coldly in response.
Kong Ling'er looked somewhat troubled as she hurriedly smoothed things over. These men would start competing with each other at every turn, and she was honestly tired of it.
"How do you plan to trap Huang Xuanzhi? With his strength, that will not be easy," Liu Bai stopped provoking the other two and looked at Kong Ling'er as he asked.
"With this…"
As Kong Ling'er spoke, she took out an object.
"An Array plate?"
Feeling the familiar fluctuations, Liu Bai raised his brows and his heart stirred slightly.
"Correct."
"This Array plate contains a Void Spiritual Array, a Grandmaster Array at the Immortal Grade level. Although it is not very strong offensively, it is extremely suitable for trapping people. Once caught inside, even an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign would be trapped for several days at minimum."
Kong Ling'er smiled sweetly.
Liu Bai's eyes immediately lit up. This Array was excellent.
Although he currently possessed two powerful Grandmaster Arrays, he truly lacked this kind of specialized trapping Array. He had not expected one to be delivered right to him.
This was truly an unexpected delight!
Without the three noticing, a layer of spiritual light appeared deep within Liu Bai's pupils as he rapidly examined the Array patterns engraved upon the plate.
At this point, Liu Bai's mastery of Arrays had already reached a realm never before seen even within the Great Thousand World. Furthermore, his Real Heart Eye had completely fused into his eyes, allowing him to perceive through any Array with a single glance.
Even for a Grandmaster Array of this level, he could see through most of its core principles in an extremely short amount of time.
Completely replicating it was impossible, but by using those principles as a foundation, Liu Bai was confident he could deduce a new Array. That alone was enough!
Kong Ling'er naturally knew none of this. She did not even know Liu Bai was also a Spiritual Array Ancestor, so she never imagined what he was doing and continued speaking.
"With this Void Spiritual Array, all we need is for Brother Liu to cooperate with us and force Huang Xuanzhi into the Array's range…"
"As long as he enters the Array, our plan will already be seventy percent successful!"
Liu Bai nodded. These three had indeed prepared everything thoroughly. Unfortunately, they had underestimated Huang Xuanzhi's strength.
Of course, that was another matter entirely, and Liu Bai had no intention of warning them. Thus, he directly agreed to their plan, and the five quickly headed toward the location of the quasi Saint Grade blood essence beast.
After about the time it takes to burn one incense stick, Liu Bai's expression gradually became solemn.
Because within his perception, somewhere ahead of the five of them, there was an extremely terrifying fluctuation of blood energy rippling outward.
The strength of that blood energy was far greater than any blood essence beast he had encountered before. Even from such a distant range, it was enough to make one's heart tremble.
The five gradually approached, and soon they could see a gigantic creature crouching at the bottom of the sea in the distance.
Its entire body was blood red, resembling both a phoenix and a sparrow. Although its massive wings were folded together, they still spanned thousands of zhang, while strands of nearly tangible blood energy continuously surged outward, causing endless tidal waves.
"It is gathering blood energy and attempting to break through into the quasi Saint Grade realm."
Looking at the enormous creature, Liu Bai spoke with a solemn expression.
At this moment, this massive creature should be at Immortal Grade Late Phase, yet it had already obtained the opportunity to break through.
The wonders of creation were truly mysterious. This blood essence beast possessed no intelligence, yet it could still grow to such a level.
Fortunately, although it possessed immense blood energy, it could not fully unleash its power. Otherwise, even a genuine Late Phase Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign would likely be unable to deal with it.
"We should hurry and make preparations."
Kong Ling'er also became nervous and quickly reminded everyone.
Then she tossed out the golden disc in her hand. A streak of golden light shot forth, and the disc floated within the seawater as golden light rapidly spread outward.
Countless strands of spiritual light intertwined within it, and after dozens of breaths, a massive Spiritual Array slowly took shape.
None of this escaped Liu Bai's Heart Eye, giving him an even deeper understanding and comprehension of the Void Spiritual Array.
As the Array formed, powerful Array fluctuations spread outward, causing the nearby seawater to churn violently.
"The disturbance you are making is too great."
Seeing this scene, both Lin Cang and Xiao Tian frowned and could not help but speak out.
With such an obvious display, Huang Xuanzhi would know it was a trap without even looking. How could he possibly fall for it?
Kong Ling'er clearly had not expected this situation either. After all, she herself was not a Spiritual Array Master and did not understand the specifics of the Array plate.
Seeing this, Liu Bai shook his head and said, "No matter. We only need to set up a Spiritual Array nearby that conceals spiritual energy."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and countless Spiritual Seals shot out from within it. In the end, another Array formed around the outer perimeter of the Void Spiritual Array.
After the Array was completed, the surrounding space rippled like water, and both Spiritual Arrays merged into the surrounding seawater.
Not only were they impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, even their spiritual energy fluctuations could no longer be sensed. This scene left Kong Ling'er and the other two staring in shock.
"I never expected Brother Liu to possess such attainments in the path of Spiritual Arrays as well!" Kong Ling'er's beautiful eyes locked tightly onto Liu Bai, her entire demeanor becoming increasingly alluring.
Lin Cang and Xiao Tian also frowned. To achieve a level where even they could not detect anything meant that this Liu Bai was at minimum a Spiritual Array Ancestor. No wonder Fang Jing had not even managed to flee before dying in this man's hands.
With such mastery in Arrays, combined with a surprise attack, Fang Jing indeed would not have been able to escape.
Liu Bai could not care less about the assumptions the three were making.
Nor was he afraid of exposing his identity as a Spiritual Array Ancestor.
At present, the only person in the entire Divine Transformation Pool capable of causing him trouble was Huang Xuanzhi. And with Huang Xuanzhi's arrogance, how could he possibly place an ordinary Spiritual Array Ancestor in his eyes?
"Alright, let us begin preparing."
Liu Bai glanced at the three and spoke.
Afterward, he instructed Jiu You to leave first. Otherwise, if Huang Xuanzhi encountered her, who knew what sort of accident might occur.
"Be careful."
Jiu You did not object. Instead, she looked at Liu Bai with concern and softly reminded him.
Although the Liu Bai she knew never did things without confidence, the people they were about to face were far from ordinary, so her worry was only natural.
Liu Bai smiled and nodded before watching Jiu You depart.
In any case, Jiu You carried the jade talisman he had given her, which contained one of Liu Bai's Divine Abilities engraved within it. At a critical moment, it could block an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign's attack for a short period. With that amount of time, Liu Bai would already be able to rush over and rescue her.
Once everything returned to calmness, the only thing remaining within this stretch of seawater was the enormous creature still accumulating power while sleeping heavily.
Only after half an hour passed did a streak of golden light break through the seawater from afar.
It was Huang Xuanzhi.
Upon seeing the enormous creature below, Huang Xuanzhi did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately unleashed an attack with a raised hand.
However, just as he attacked, sharp eagle cries and crane shrieks suddenly rang out throughout the surrounding space. In the next moment, three streams of spiritual light containing the full strength of their users blasted forth like torrents capable of piercing heaven and earth, directly reducing the seawater within tens of thousands of zhang into nothingness as they viciously closed in on Huang Xuanzhi in a triangular formation.
Such an offensive was incomparably fierce. Even a true Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign would be heavily injured if caught by it.
Yet Huang Xuanzhi merely laughed loudly. He waved his sleeve in reverse and struck toward the void with a palm.
Boom!
Space itself shattered beneath Huang Xuanzhi's palm. Spatial cracks spread outward carrying destructive force, directly tearing the three attacks apart piece by piece.
This scene caused the expressions of Kong Ling'er and the other two to become extremely ugly.
Their carefully prepared attack had actually achieved no effect whatsoever. Huang Xuanzhi's strength was truly terrifying!
"Kong Ling'er, Lin Cang, Xiao Tian, you three really refuse to give up, huh?"
Huang Xuanzhi looked at the three with a smile and leisurely spoke.
"With just the three of you, are you not overestimating yourselves a little?"
"We will only know after fighting!"
Kong Ling'er let out a sharp cry, and immediately afterward, nine colored spiritual light spread around her body.
Within the spiritual light, a clear peacock cry echoed through heaven and earth. A beautiful nine colored peacock emerged, and as its gorgeous feathers danced, astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations erupted from it.
Seeing Kong Ling'er reveal her true form, Lin Cang also transformed. A gigantic golden eagle appeared, except this eagle possessed nine heads. Its eagle eyes shone with golden light as though capable of tearing apart the heavens.
As for Xiao Tian, his true form was a gigantic crane tens of thousands of zhang in size. However, the crane's entire body was covered in dragon scales, and even its claws were dragon claws that emitted endless cold light. With a single swipe, space itself shattered.
"Well now, this feels like Journey to the West. Even the Peacock Princess and the Nine Headed Bird have shown up."
Hidden in the shadows, Liu Bai watched the battle with great interest.
It had to be said that these super divine beasts truly possessed innate advantages over human Heavenly Sovereigns. Just their true forms alone were probably stronger than the Sovereign Celestial Bodies ranked within the top thirty of the Sovereign Celestial Body Ranking.
However, despite the terrifying strength of these three giant birds, none of them could make Huang Xuanzhi retreat in the slightest.
He simply laughed loudly and actually launched the first attack against the three gigantic beasts.
Seeing this, Kong Ling'er and the others naturally refused to show weakness.
The Nine Colored Peacock released hundreds of millions of streams of colored radiance. The radiance descended from the sky, appearing dazzling and beautiful, but once entangled by it, even an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign would be restrained and have their spiritual energy sealed, losing all combat power.
Meanwhile, the Nine Headed Golden Eagle displayed its most tyrannical aspect. Its gigantic golden claws directly shattered space, countless spatial fragments gathering beneath them like miniature black holes. A single claw strike carried terrifying might.
The Heaven Dragon Crane let out a roar toward the sky, and from its beak erupted a torrent tens of thousands of zhang in size. Like dragon breath, it radiated destructive fluctuations, annihilating everything before it.
The moment these three attacked, they directly unleashed their ultimate moves.
But looking at Huang Xuanzhi.
The golden flames flying from his hands directly wrapped around Kong Ling'er's nine colored radiance. Then the radiance, together with the surrounding spiritual energy, was burned away completely by the golden flames!
Likewise, the incomparably fierce claw of the Nine Headed Golden Eagle was split apart by a long blade transformed from a single strand of golden hair from Huang Xuanzhi's head. The seemingly indestructible eagle claw was nearly severed entirely by that strike, leaving only miserable eagle cries behind.
As for the Heaven Dragon Crane's dragon breath, it fared even worse. Two golden beams erupted from Huang Xuanzhi's eyes and directly forced the attack back, crashing into the Heaven Dragon Crane itself. Instantly, its scales shattered and golden blood splattered everywhere. It was nearly killed by that single blow alone!
Even Liu Bai was somewhat shocked by this scene. Huang Xuanzhi's combat power was truly unexpectedly terrifying. The three super divine beasts together could not even survive a single exchange against him.
Of course, while watching the show, Liu Bai still did what needed to be done.
He raised his hand, and a Golden Sun Divine Lotus appeared within his palm. Then, with a gentle toss, the golden lotus silently drifted toward the top of Huang Xuanzhi's head.
