Chapter 772: The Undying Graveyard

Wuuuu!! At the very moment the Spirit Array rose, horn blasts sounded like Dragon Roars and Tiger Roars, echoing across the entire Shan Mai with a mighty, heroic force; under these horn blasts, a million troops instantly brimmed with killing intent, spiritual energy surging as they prepared for battle at once.

"It's really going to happen!"

Whether within Xin Region or beyond it, every sect and school that heard this horn blast were stunned.

It's real!

"The Three Great Marshals and Eighteen Divine Generals of Wan Xiang Tower have all arrived—Lord of Wan Xiang Tower must be here too."

"He's definitely here. If the Four Great Sects all fell to the Spirit Array Masters of the Soul Temple, even the Three Great Marshals couldn't take down the Soul Temple without Lord of Wan Xiang Tower showing up."

The disciples and strong ones of Wan Xiang Tower made no sound, but they held weapons in hand, arrows nocked, every weapon gleaming with chilling, soul-shaking light; facing the Spirit Array Xun Er had summoned, they had no intention of retreating.

Troops massed before the Heavenly Tomb, countless soldiers lined up outside it, a chilling, deadly atmosphere spreading across the entire Sky.

"Xun Er, how is Xiao Yan now?" Seeing Xun Er emerge from seclusion on time, Cai Lin asked urgently.

Xun Er shook her head and said, "Brother Xiao Yan is cultivating the Supreme Body in a mysterious Space—only those with Dou Qi can enter that Space. Xiao Yixian possesses the Eternal Calamity Poison Body, so she entered the Space."

Unlike Xiao Yan, Xun Er was in seclusion studying Spirit Array knowledge, so when Wan Xiang Tower's countless troops arrived on Ning Tian Continent, she sensed it immediately and rushed over.

"Xun Er, can your Spirit Array hold them off?" Gu Yuan's expression was grave too; having been in the Great Thousand World for nearly half a year, his Cultivation Realm had risen noticeably.

With ample Supreme Spirit Liquid, Gu Yuan's Cultivation Realm not only reached Ninth Rank Supreme Peak, but he also mastered a new Great Round Divine Technique, refining the Emperor Seal Technique into the Annihilating Heaven Seal, and his Supreme Body had already taken form—though only ranked seventieth, his power remained formidable.

Yet even with his Supreme Body, Gu Yuan could not fight three at once; the Three Great Marshals of Wan Xiang Tower were no ordinary foes.

Xun Er's face was equally grave; her gaze passed beyond the three front-line Wan Xiang Tower Marshals, fixed on a divine pavilion standing in Space, and she said grimly, "Though I now control the Ice Bamboo Divine Array and can handle three Ninth Rank Supremes without issue, my Cultivation Realm has not yet reached Earth Supreme—I cannot unleash its full power."

At that moment, an old man stepped out from the divine pavilion. His hair was white as snow, yet his back was straight, his eyes piercingly sharp, as if they could pierce through the sun and stars of the heavens.

"Lord of Wan Xiang Tower, Wan Sanqian!!" Seeing this old man appear, Qiao Shihong's face turned pale—he was a famed Earth Supreme who had already been one a hundred years ago!

After becoming an Earth Supreme, Wan Sanqian went to Jiu Ming Continent and founded Wan Xiang Tower, dominating the region; Qiao Shihong knew this time there was no escape, and collapsed to the ground, face ashen.

Though Wan Sanqian had not yet reached Upper Earth Supreme, he was unquestionably a seasoned Lower Earth Supreme; from Wan Xiang Tower possessing three Ninth Rank Supremes alone, it was clear that ordinary Earth Supremes were no match for him.

Even the powerful ones from distant sects and schools watching from the horizon exchanged glances—Wan Sanqian was a name renowned far and wide; even on Ning Tian Continent, far from Jiu Ming Continent, his fame was known.

For Wan Sanqian was not merely a Lower Earth Supreme—he was also a Divine-Star Spirit Array Patriarch! That was precisely why he had set his sights on Ningzhu Array Master's legacy!

And Zhu Ye had indeed had some connection with Wan Sanqian; once, Zhu Ye had traveled to Jiu Ming Continent, and Wan Sanqian, impressed by Zhu Ye's extraordinary Spirit Array talent, had invited him to join Wan Xiang Tower.

Zhu Ye naturally refused.

So Zhu Ye was never a disciple of Wan Xiang Tower—he was merely "a hair's breadth" away from becoming one, yet now they claimed him as their final disciple, coming here to avenge him.

Wan Sanqian appearing in person today meant this war would be to the death.

"You Soul Temple, you murdered my final disciple! Today, Wan Xiang Tower shall act in Heaven's name to avenge my disciple!" Wan Sanqian spoke, his voice like metal and stone, audible to all.

Hearing this, Cai Lin's face turned icy. "To frame someone, you need no excuse! If Wan Xiang Tower insists on war, we are no cowards—come at us if you dare!"

During Xiao Yan's seclusion, Xun Er managed internal affairs while Cai Lin handled external matters; even on Dou Qi Continent, Cai Lin had been the supreme military commander of the Yan Alliance, commanding all warriors, wielding military authority, and waging campaigns to expand the Yan Alliance.

To Wan Sanqian, wiping out Ning Tian Continent without an Earth Supreme was effortless—even if an Earth Supreme appeared, he was unafraid, for he had backing.

Few factions in the world could afford to offend him.

"Kill!" Wan Sanqian sneered, waving his hand; the countless troops roared as one, instantly splitting into three streams like steel torrents, surging toward the Heavenly Tomb, charging into the Spirit Array.

They were like three razor-sharp blades stabbing straight into the heart of the Heavenly Tomb.

Xun Er said nothing; the enemy was the invader, and they could only wait for Xiao Yixian to find Xiao Yan—if Xiao Yan succeeded in forming his Supreme Body and emerged, he would at least possess Earth Supreme power.

Sssss!! Xun Er gripped the Silver Phoenix Sacred Pen, swept her sleeve, and the pen touched Space; instantly, countless Spiritual Seals were carved into the air, and in an instant, thick ice mist rose from the Heavenly Tomb.

Over these past months, Xun Er had already laid a powerful Spirit Array over the Heavenly Tomb, strengthening its energy bodies.

A rushing sound like water—rivers of Supreme Spirit Liquid burst forth from Xun Er's space ring; lacking sufficient Cultivation, she used Supreme Spirit Liquid instead—a stream of spiritual energy merged into the Spirit Array, and instantly, a vast Spirit Array enveloping the entire Heavenly Tomb surged upward.

Strengthened by Xun Er's Spirit Array, the Heavenly Tomb's energy bodies grew stronger—especially those in the third layer who had reached Half-Saint or even Saint levels, now as powerful as in life.

"It's been so long since I fought so freely—hahaha!"

Upon a Shi Zuo, a figure sat proudly, a dark red Ghost Head Great Knife resting before him; a thick, bloody odor wafted from the blade like mist, swirling around the mountain peak.

The Blood Knife Saint gripped the Blood Knife; after arriving in the Great Thousand World, the energy bodies in the third layer had changed—those that had lost most of their memories, drifting in confusion, had regained their spiritual awareness.

Just like the Blood Knife Saint—he had been a Half-Saint in life, and now his power had reached the Supreme Realm, and within the Spirit Array, he could even wield his former life's ultimate techniques.
