Chapter 835

"Wisdom Eye Array Heart!?"

Seeing the spiritual array fluctuations around Xun Er, the Hollow Array Emperor's gaze flickered, and his heart sank.

As a Spirit Array Master himself, he understood better than anyone how extraordinary this talent was.

Spirit Array Masters can cultivate the Heart Array State; entering this state frees the arranger from the constraints of physical sight, allowing them to perceive arrays directly with the heart, where array trajectories move according to their will. The Heart Array State has three tiers: high, medium, and low.

This is a cultivation method for Spirit Array Masters, but before such a method existed, there must have been a reference point from which this cultivation technique was invented.

Before such a cultivation method existed, only those born with the Wisdom Eye Array Heart possessed the innate Heart Array State—requiring no cultivation.

Zhi zhi—Xun Er's eyes sharpened slightly, revealing a cold gaze; she swung her brush, using heaven and earth as her canvas. Hu la la la—a deafening sound—and the Zhu Bamboo suddenly emitted blinding Spiritual Light, countless Spirit Arrays merging into the bamboo, mysterious array lines like cosmic laws. Dang—one resonant clang—and the entire Ning Tian Continent blazed with brilliant emerald light.

"She's using Spirit Arrays to control the entire continent's power—she's seized the main vein!"

"Using the Array Core to command the continent's will, transforming all things through arrays—who is this woman, achieving this with only Lower Earth Supreme cultivation?!" Outside Ning Tian Continent, Spirit Array Masters were stunned; even ordinary high-level Spirit Array Patriarchs might not command an entire continent to form a Spirit Array!

At this moment, Xun Er, drawing upon the Spirit Arrays and the Zhu Bamboo's power, truly controlled the entire continent's Spiritual Veins—she was now the sovereign of Ning Tian Continent!

Weng—one Spiritual Light appeared, and a massive Spirit Array emerged, centered on the Zhu Bamboo.

"High-level Patriarch-level Spirit Array?!"

"How is this possible? How can a Lower Earth Supreme summon a High-level Patriarch-level Spirit Array?!"

When the dense cluster of Spiritual Seals around Xun Er formed the array and shimmered like stars, even the Hollow Array Emperor's expression changed drastically, shock flooding his eyes.

Weng!

The space where Xun Er stood erupted in intense emerald light, then, before countless stunned gazes, transformed into an impossibly complex array diagram.

A single leaf of lush vitality drifted down, landing precisely before Xun Er, allowing the Hollow Array Emperor's array—charged with furious, unstoppable force—to strike it.

Gong gong gong—the sky trembled as the furious Spirit Array surged wildly, yet every pair of eyes tightened in shock: the array shielding Xun Er remained utterly unharmed.

"A Lower Earth Supreme blocked the Hollow Array Emperor's array—and suffered no damage?!"

"No—she didn't block his attack. She saw the weak points in the array, shattered it by targeting its vulnerabilities!"

Some experts had discerned the truth: Xun Er wasn't resisting with cultivation power, but with technique.

Spirit Arrays aren't about spiritual force cultivation—arrays are constructed, so they have weaknesses.

"One Leaf Severs Heaven."

In Xun Er's hand, the Silver Phoenix Sacred Pen blazed with blinding white light; instantly, a vast river of Supreme Spirit Liquid surged from the center of the Zhu Bamboo, hundreds of millions of Supreme Spirit Liquids merging into Xun Er's array.

As Xun Er spoke, the emerald bamboo leaf before her transformed into a massive blade; the array's glow became like flashing swordlight and knife shadows—seen from afar, it radiated lethal sharpness.

One leaf can sever heaven—under the full power of Ning Tian Continent and the Zhu Bamboo's aid, Xun Er's One Leaf Array can cleave a Great Perfection! One leaf pierces space, the heavens collapse—this One Leaf Array is invincible.

"One Leaf Severs Heaven Array! Ningzhu Array Master's famed Spirit Array!!"

"Heaven Hollow Defense!"

The Hollow Array Emperor's face darkened; Xun Er's array was too terrifying—he never imagined a Lower Earth Supreme could unleash such a fearsome array!

With a roar, he hastily reacted, scrambling to erect a protective Spirit Array around himself.

Bang—in that instant, even the Hollow Array Emperor, a high-level Spirit Array Patriarch and Great Perfection Earth Supreme, could not withstand Xun Er's pre-prepared array assault!

Gong—a thunderous explosion—the entire protective array shattered under the One Leaf; the Hollow Array Emperor even sent the four Earth Supremes trying to profit from the chaos flying backward with thudding impacts. Such terrifying force would have reduced any other to blood mist.

Had the Hollow Array Emperor not taken the brunt of the array's attack, even Upper Earth Supremes would have been reduced to ashes.

Several spat blood violently—the force was capable of destroying heaven and earth.

As Xun Er used her array to guard the Zhu Bamboo and protect this region, the Hundred Vine Medicine King—who had never intended to claim the Ningzhu Array Master's inheritance—struck at the same moment.

In that instant, a Teleportation Spirit Array appeared; the Hundred Vine Medicine King barked: "Act."

In that moment, the Medicine King roared, and figures emerged from the Teleportation Spirit Array—one after another—each concealing their true bodies with Spirit Arrays, each at Earth Supreme level, several even Great Perfection Earth Supremes, their spiritual power overwhelming—undoubtedly, they were the Hundred Vine Medicine King's hired allies.

Under the Hundred Vine Medicine King's command, the several Earth Supremes concealing their true forms surged directly toward the massive pit where the Soul Sect resided.

One palm shattered the Soul Sect's Space Lock, revealing the vast Soul Sect.

Seeing this, even the masters of Zi Yun Cave and Lei Yin Temple, the dominant powers of Tian Luo Da Lu, flickered with intent—everyone knew the real prize lay with Xiao Yan.

"We move too!" The three Zi Yun Elders exchanged glances, nodded, and led a group of Earth Supremes toward the Soul Sect, ready to seize Xiao Yan's treasures.

"Qi!" At this moment, an old man stood in the sky; his hands drew immediate attention—as if soaked in endless blood.

Weng—the old man activated his technique; a faint glow emerged from deep within the Soul Sect, pinpointing Xiao Yan's location—he was locked, with no escape possible.

"Hmph! Don't get arrogant!" In that instant, from deep within the Soul Sect, a figure shot upward, suppressing all heavens—he stood, and heaven and earth shrank, all things retreated.

When he stood there, dragon qi surged massively—it was the Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor!

Before the Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor, even Zi Yun Elder, Lei Yin Venerable, and other Great Perfection Earth Supremes appeared insignificant, utterly incomparable.

Though the Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor did not reveal his true form, when his physique erupted, one step forward and he swung his massive axe—everyone understood why the Dragon Clan was the foremost race.

Gong—a thunderous crash—one axe slash cleaved heaven and earth, severed the cosmos.

Even Zi Yun Elder and the other two, veteran powerhouses who had long surpassed Great Perfection Earth Supreme, could not resist—though all were Great Perfection Earth Supremes, the gap was immense.

The three instantly joined forces; gong—a thunderous crash—they condensed their spiritual power into a single fist; bang—the fist shattered all things, striking the Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor!

"Break!"

At this moment, even the combined assault of Zi Yun Elder and the other two was struck down by the Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor's single blow, flung backward.

In that instant, all disciples of Zi Yun Cave, Lei Yin Temple, and Golden Eagle Mansion joined hands, activating their Sect's Demonic Array; zi—the spiritual power surged like a tidal wave, forming a colossal shield that blocked the Dragon Emperor's dragon qi and dissipated its force.

"Bai Teng, this is no place for you. In the spirit of our shared sect ties, return whence you came." Before the Hundred Vine Medicine King and his allies, Nu Shan Medicine Saint slowly emerged from Space, standing before them all.

Not only Nu Shan Medicine Saint—beside him stood two old men, both Upper Earth Supremes, allies he had summoned. Time was too short; even though Nu Shan Medicine Saint was a master Alchemist with wide connections, he could not find stronger allies within just two or three days—they simply couldn't arrive in time.

"Senior Brother Nu Shan, this matter benefits our Ancient Ten Thousand Grass Prairie. If you seek the Lower Plane's Pill Refining Inheritance, simply take the Lower Plane—you'll obtain it naturally. Why obstruct us?" The Hundred Vine Medicine King's voice rang out—all of them had set their sights on the Dou Qi Continent.

Nu Shan Medicine Saint's intervention was no trivial matter—he was a half-step Grandmaster Alchemist.

"Hahaha! Too bad—I Nu Shan, having been taught, owe a debt to my teacher!" Nu Shan Medicine Saint laughed loudly. "No need for words—attack! Let me see how strong your master's pupil truly is."

"Kill!!" The Hundred Vine Medicine King roared—he would never abandon the Dimension Embryo.

The Dimension Embryo achieves its greatest value in the hands of an Alchemist; all knew it could help Great Perfection Earth Supremes break through to Sky Supreme—but none knew it was also the primary ingredient of a certain Elixir.

And that elixir would drive even an Earth Supreme mad.

The Immortal Embryo Heaven Sovereign Pill's main ingredient is the embryo of a plane; its effect is simple—it allows a Spirit-grade Heaven Sovereign to ascend to Immortal-grade. In the entire Great Thousand World, no more than ten Alchemists can brew the Immortal Embryo Heaven Sovereign Pill!

As the Purple Cloud Grotto, Thunder Sound Temple, and Golden Eagle Mansion appeared, one after another Upper-Plane Earth Supreme, even a Fully-Realized Earth Supreme, emerged—the heavens and earth trembled, and the entire Ning Tian Continent sank as if crushed beneath weight.

This was merely an ordinary small continent; how could it possibly withstand so many Fully-Realized Earth Supremes appearing at once?

"My god, the continent's gonna sink!"

"Hah, get lost!" The Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor roared, knowing that if this continued, the entire continent would be crushed. With a clang, his colossal axe blazed brilliant as heaven and earth—the axe's radiance didn't merely illuminate the sky, but reached even the deepest reaches of the cosmos.

"Flying Dragon Soars Through Heaven!" The Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor bellowed, his bloodline erupting as he unleashed his utmost power toward his opponent.

"Supreme Divine Technique!"

"Damn, the Dragon Clan's Supreme Divine Technique!"

BOOM!! The thunderous explosion shook heaven and cosmos—its terrifying force instantly obliterated everything across ten million li of land; this single strike cleaved straight through the heavens.

The Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor's title as Dragon Emperor was no empty honor!

As the crowd fought, shattering heaven and earth, golden imperial edicts floated into the sky, ancient imperial characters appearing upon them.

The imperial decree radiated boundless Heaven Supreme power; each imperial character that surfaced was as heavy as Mount Tai—each one seemed capable of suppressing gods and demons!

Merely this one edict, written with the Spirit power of a Heaven Supreme, was a treasure—it could repel attacks and annihilate enemies.

With a hum, the imperial decree written by Emperor Xuan Shi suddenly ignited—a golden light emerged, and the next instant, a golden warship materialized from within the edict.

"Is Emperor Xuan Shi leading the campaign himself?!"

"No, that seems to be Huang Lie, Xuan Shi's First Xian Shi Zhan Shen, alongside the Banbu War Array Zongshi commanding ten thousand troops!" someone exclaimed upon seeing the golden-armored man seated at the rear of the Ancient Ship.

The Ancient Ship resembled a colossal mobile fortress, exhaling ancient radiance; the Spirit Arrays carved along its hull spun endlessly, radiating immense Spirit Array power—undoubtedly, this vessel could not only sail through the cosmos but also withstand attacks from Fully-Realized Earth Supremes.

Upon the Ancient Ship, blood qi surged like rainbows; several Fully-Realized Earth Supreme auras poured forth, their power unrestrained—this overwhelming pressure could be felt by all powerhouses on the Ning Tian Continent from afar.

"Hah!!" As the Ancient Ship arrived outside the Soul Palace, a million warriors lined its deck, roaring in unison—their collective voice rose like a tidal wave. These warriors' Battle Intentions were all controlled by a middle-aged man clad in black armor; unquestionably, he was a War Array Master, and his strength matched Huang Lie's—both were Banbu Tian Zhi Zun!

"Yan Nushan, Tian Yuanhao, if you leave now, out of respect for the Ancient Ten Thousand Grasslands and the Dragon Clan, this matter will be treated as if it never happened," said Huang Lie, clad in golden armor, rising to address the two.

Yan Nushan paid no heed, but the Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor sneered: "Hah, so it's you, Huang Lie. Just a dog favored by that old Xuan Shi, and you dare command the Dragon Clan?"

"Master Xiao Yan is a friend of our Dragon Clan. Others may fear your Xian Tian Zhan Dian, but my Tianlong Clan doesn't care. If you've got the guts, come kill us—let that old ghost Xuan Shi come out, I'm not afraid."

The Xian Tian Zhan Dian, with a Heaven Supreme residing within, was one of the Supreme Factions of the Great Thousand World, standing equal to the Xian Tian Zhan Dian, Ice Spirit Clan, and Fire Spirit Clan—each capable of erasing a Lower Plane at will.

But even Supreme Factions are ranked first, second, and third tier; how could the Xian Tian Zhan Dian, with only a Spirit-grade Heaven Supreme, be compared to the Dragon Clan? The Northern Heaven Dragon Emperor was not merely a Dragon Clan monarch—he was their emperor, and his presence here carried vastly greater significance.

At the very least, the Dragon Clan harbored goodwill toward Xiao Yan, for Zhu Kun was now not only a Supreme Divine Beast of the Dragon Clan but also possessed pure Zhu Dragon bloodline—perhaps one day becoming another Supreme Divine Beast.
