Chapter 1087 - 550: The Four Sufferings of Mortals (Part 2)
Thus, they can attack when advancing, defend when retreating, and escape when defeated, standing on the land of undying immortality, truly a delightful prospect~
Cough, cough, in any case, having prepared for defeat before victory, Chen Xuantian no longer hesitated, and immediately showcased his entire skill to exterminate the demon!
"Caw—!"
With a cry of an eagle, the Blood Eagle soared through the sky, heading first to the southwest corner, where gray fog shrouded, and dust filled the fissure in the ravine, plunging downward.
Standing high above, surveying the terrain of the Earth Veins from the horizon, it was almost identical to the earth trench opened by the Corpse Resolving Immortal in Genzhou in the past, naturally where the ’Patchwork Elder’ presided over the Magic Altar. However, compared to Genzhou’s earth-shattering scene, the depth and width of this earth trench were much lesser, covering merely a few miles of deep valley fissure.
Chen Xuantian was not in a hurry to break the Array, but hid among the clouds, hovering in the sky, sweeping a gaze over the depths of the fissure, observing the flow of the Qi Body within this Array.
Although he didn’t dare claim to know the Divine Skills of Kunlun, nor even the name of this move. However, the way of Arrays leads to the same outcome; just from the previously detected setup, upon looking at the Array again, one could roughly figure out one or two things.
If Chen Xuantian didn’t guess wrong, the other party’s Array, mobilized by gathering four Demon Path experts, was probably based on the principles of birth, aging, sickness, and death, the four sufferings of mankind.
The blood light in the northeast corner symbolizes the pain of life and sin, the gray fog in the southwest corner signifies the difficulty of aging, the pink smoke in the northwest indicates the disease of pestilence, and the black wind in the southeast represents the harm of silent death.
Using these four sufferings of mankind to induce resentment reaching the heavens, causing earth and sky anomalies, triggering a reversed birth killing intent of the world.
Once activated, the four Arrays would rapidly expand, indiscriminately capturing the vitality of the world, sacrificing all living beings within the Array’s scope as offerings, transforming them into storms of Evil Qi representing the four sufferings.
And as these four Arrays launch furiously, when the killing energy reaches its maximum like a hurricane, it would precisely roll straight to the core, the Yunmeng Palace.
Just waiting for the power of the four sufferings to gather, striking from all sides simultaneously, to twist and destroy the Dragon Palace, break its feng shui, ruin its Earth Vein, and uproot its Dao Foundation!
Such a relentless attack, day and night, would inevitably reduce Yunmeng to ruins, turning into a domain of death, with blood-polluted Earth Veins, collapsing palaces, and all creatures suffering utter devastation!
At that time, even the millennia-old Dragon King would be uprooted and twisted into the catastrophe, reduced to ashes; within Yunmeng Palace, not a single chicken or dog left behind, fishes and shrimps of the entire lake, inescapable!
Such an Array fully reveals the dueling style of the time of the Divine Lord; it is utterly unscrupulous and considerate of nothing!
It is fierce! It is domineering! It is ruthless! Without a single word, it’s a strike! As soon as the Array is set up, it’s a boom!
Who, like the Mystic Sect People, calculates things this way and that, exchanging glances over Arrays, and only takes action at the last moment?
Damn it, just! Go! For it!
Sigh, compared to this, the Divine Lord truly seems like an arty youth, even equipping the Ten Absolute Array with a poem...
Cough, cough, overall, when this Array activates, let alone the confirmed destruction of the Dragon Palace, now the residents along Yun Meng are likely to be engulfed in the four sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death, all becoming fuel for the Great Array.
Considering the recent years’ abundant ’fuel’ arriving from the Northern lands, along the lake, at least tens of thousands of people, needing only at most seven days’ work, Yunmeng Swamp will likely be turned into a marsh of corpses by this Array.
However, although this situation seems perilous, it’s actually not hard to solve.
After all, this Array only attacks without defense, doesn’t consider longevity, and doesn’t calculate how to maintain balance when externally interfered, only seeking to convert the four sufferings’ Evil Qi to strike into the Array.
Therefore, it doesn’t involve much technical skill; as long as one strikes fiercely and attacks, killing the Array setters and damaging the Array Eye shrine would nullify it.
However, Chen Xuantian was still in no hurry to make a move, just circling in the sky round after round, watching the limitless gray fog spread from the valley, seeing the vast vegetation withering and decaying, witnessing the wild beasts aging and dying en masse. Watching those unable to escape, the woodcutters, mountain folks, and hunters, shrouded by the gray fog, suddenly aging momentarily, being drained of Essence Qi, their faces wrinkled, wailing miserably, until they could move no longer, collapsing in the wilderness, dying of old age upon the ground.
But still, he did not make a move.
The timing was not yet right.
Wait, wait, and then... here it comes!
"Splash—! Boom—!"
Suddenly, a massive whirlpool rose in Yunmeng Swamp, raising towering waves in an instant!
The lake water surged and roiled like flames! A giant wall of water soared up from the ground!
Then Magic Light shot to the sky! A burst of dazzling Divine Light burst forth! Followed by Water Light rising skyward, a white dragon broke water and flew out! Soaring into the sky!
From a glance, it truly seemed as though Spiritual Qi overflowed the heavens, its presence intimidating! Making no concession to the True Dragon!
However, it was not a True Dragon! But Daoist energy!
This ’dragon’ was clearly transformed using the extraordinarily high-level Mystic Nether Escape Technique! A dragon-shaped Dharma Manifestation of the Method of Heaven and Earth, Divinity Transformation and Sanctification!
Yes! The Prime Minister, deeply hidden within Yunmeng Palace, finally made a move!
After all, this person was of the Mystic Sect People, how could he not see the peril of this Array!
These four suffering’s Evil Qi were so rampant and overwhelming! And its momentum fierce and difficult to subdue!
Even if the Dragon Palace could rely on the Great Array’s foundation, sealing the Earth Veins to survive seven days, the beings of the Water Mansion feared they couldn’t endure that long!
Thus, he had to break the Array with all his might right when it activates! The longer delayed, the harder it becomes to battle! How could one wait for reinforcements to arrive?
And the Water Dragon’s battle style, too, was as Chen Xuantian expected!
The Flying Dragon soared through clouds, touring once in the sky, sweeping its unmatched Divine Light across the four corners, instantly spotting the Weakness of the Array! Charging straight for the blood light at the northeast corner!
Yet it was also as previously calculated, the master of the northeast corner’s main Array was already prepared, striking out red light Thunder Flash!
The red light barely waved against the heavenly Water Dragon’s blow! Clashing tightly together! Instantly followed by the pink, black, and gray, three bouts of Evil Light, booming down from all sides! Joining forces against the Water Dragon!
Indeed! That Array of Life Evil was evidently presided over by the Inverted Immortal himself! This Immortal was certainly the core of this calamity, the key in leading and summoning everyone!
The other Demon Path experts, from far Kunlun, came to assist, how could they stand by and watch? Of course, preparations were made long ago to join forces in attack!
So, as the surging Demon Light streamed forth, clearly visible, even in the fissure in the ravine presented was a human bone staff!
The staff bore a talisman flashing explosively! Directly shooting out sky-shocking Demon Light! Boundless Demon Qi! Together with everyone, jointly besieging the Water Dragon!
And, at the very instant the Demon Light breached the gray fog! Chen Xuantian struck!
The Blood Eagle spread its wings, spinning once, swooping down instantaneously! Like lightning! Like a falling star!
Straight towards the earth’s ravine, diving in the sky, coalescing into a Blood Sword in mid-air! Swift as a flash of lightning, fine as a red needle shuttle!
The Sword’s speed was too rapid to discern! Only a brief flash could be seen! That red line plunged into the depths of the valley!
The next moment, after an instant of deathly silence, the staff’s light dimmed completely, falling down from the sky.
"...Boom!!!"
In the next moment, the mountains crumbled, the earth shattered! The Earth Altar Shrine was engulfed by the uncontrollable runaway Evil Qi, exploding violently, sending sand and stones flying, countless rockfalls!
Yes! If slowed down to a thousand times and replayed, would show the Red Sword descending from the sky, piercing the ground, penetrating mountains in one swift strike! Breaking into the Earth Vein depths!
Thus, that hunchback, hidden deeply under the soil, full of wrinkles, wasn’t even able to utter a word, pierced through the heart with a single sword!
Right from the human skin patchwork clothing’s top Divine Court, bore open a bloody mouth! Through brain and heart! Shattering bones, splitting lungs!
Tragically, facing the Blood Talisman Divine Sword, the Divine Edge crowned atop! Skewering through the heart in one sword! Dao Soul Perishes! Divine Slaughter Blood Punishment!
Thus, in this split second, under a single sword strike.
The Old Age Array lost control, while this hunchback was entirely buried by sand and dust, ground into powder, vanished into the vast earth!
Patchwork Elder! Dead!!
