Chapter 562: I Don't Need It

"This Array is truly infinitely profound!"

Having obtained the method to control the Array from Gu Ying, Shen Yu was able to control a portion of the Array's power and gained a clearer understanding of the Array covering this place.

Feeling the mysteries of this Array, Shen Yu had to admit that it indeed possessed unique qualities.

It not only relied on the natural Great Array outside but also utilized the terrain of the mountains and rivers to draw in the light of the sun, moon, and stars.

This continuous replenishment of power made this Great Array as solid as a golden fortress, such that even after a thousand or ten thousand years, it would not suffer much depletion.

The person who set up the Array must certainly be a top-tier Array master.

As he walked, Shen Yu familiarized himself with the Great Array while adding quite a bit of his own understanding to it as a supplement.

At the same time, he bolstered the Great Array with his own power. With the control of an expert like Shen Yu, the power of the Array surged violently.

An Array controlled by someone and an Array running on its own are absolutely two different concepts. Moreover, the one controlling the Array was an Array master like Shen Yu.

He knew what to do to unleash the maximum might of the Array, so his actions were naturally incomparable to before.

"The power of the Array has been strengthened, how is this possible!"

Facing the power that was clearly suppressing him, the suppressed Mo Xi was extremely familiar with it; now that it had suddenly strengthened, he was naturally furious, and at the same time, inevitably felt some panic.

"You can actually control the Great Array, this is impossible!"

Surprised that Shen Yu could actually control the Great Array, he immediately reacted. The Great Array was Gu Ying's Great Array; how could others control it so easily?

The only possibility was that this subordinate had already betrayed him—this traitor!

"Traitor, traitor!"

In a fit of rage, Mo Xi wanted to activate the hidden hand he had left behind, only to discover that he seemed unable to control Gu Ying's Life and Death at all.

How could this be? Clearly, a single thought from him should have been enough to put him to death; this was the very foundation of how he manipulated these subordinates. Now, it had completely failed.

Immediately following this, the response he received was Ten Thousand Jun Thunder. Under Shen Yu's control, dark clouds churned above the sky, with ten thousand zhang of thunder hidden within.

The Ten Thousand Jun Thunder descended and charged directly into the seal. Accompanied by a massive "Boom—", the Black Mist was worn away quite a bit in the blink of an eye amidst the lightning and thunder.

At the same time, the Vast Righteous Energy around Shen Yu's body erupted, and a wisp of Great Sun True Fire emerged along with it.

The Vast Righteous Energy and the Great Sun True Fire almost fused together; in mid-air, it was as if a small sun had appeared, emitting unimaginable light and heat, bringing light and warmth.

Once that extremely rigid, upright, bright, and vast power appeared, it began to rapidly wear away the Black Mist constantly churning within the Array, just like hot water melting snow.

However, the Black Mist in the Array was too much and too thick; even with Shen Yu using all his methods, for a moment, there seemed to be no significant change.

The worn-away mist was replenished as soon as it dissipated, as if it were endless and impossible to kill off.

"Junior, give up. How could you, a mere junior, possibly contend with this seat?"

From within the black mist came Mo Xi's voice, hoarse and tinged with anger. If not for the obstruction of the Array, Shen Yu suspected the other party would have bitten him twice.

"Brat, even if you occupy the advantage, even if you seem to restrain this seat, all of this is nothing but an illusion!"

"A mayfly shaking a tree; this seat is undying and inextinguishable. How could an existence like this seat be something a junior like you can fathom!"

"As long as there is negative emotion in this world, as long as people still have greed, anger, and evil, I will have an endless source of power, and I will be able to exist continuously, living forever and looking down upon the world."

The Black Mist churned, bringing with it that domineering voice, as if it wanted to swallow the world, making one unable to help but want to bow down in worship.

"Junior, you have such strength at a young age; you are a genius. We can cooperate!"

"I can give you power, give you longevity, and give you everything you want!"

"And you only need to pay with your loyalty; serve me, and you shall possess everything!"

The voice full of temptation seemed to constantly corrode one's will, making one's heart sway and soul tremble.

First, he introduced himself domineeringly, making himself sound invincible, and then he tempted him, wanting them to be willing to pledge loyalty and do things for him.

With a golden thigh like me right here, don't you want to hug it? I'll give you a chance to let me take you to fly; I'm just asking if you're willing or not!

This routine seemed quite practiced, and the special power within the voice that could subtly influence one's judgment was indeed easy to collapse a person's will in an instant.

Presumably, his previous subordinates were fooled in this exact way.

But looking at the endings of those people, one knows what kind of outcome comes from conspiring with a tiger.

When he needs you, he talks big and promises all kinds of benefits for free; when he doesn't need you, he tosses you aside, not even glancing at you if you die. Following a heartless person is better than following you.

"I don't need it!" Shaking his head, Shen Yu said very calmly, "I am already invincible in this world; I already possess everything, so why would I need you to give it to me?"

"You, a prisoner, what could you possibly give me!"

"You!" Once these domineering words were spoken, it directly stifled Mo Xi quite a bit.

Yet he had to admit that, given Shen Yu's current power, in the absence of old monsters, he could indeed be called invincible in the world.

Being invincible means one can possess everything—status, power, beauties—as long as one speaks, everything is naturally there for the taking!

"I can give you endless power, allow you to go a step further, and allow you to surpass your current realm!"

"Still talking about endless power? I don't think so!"

With a disdainful smile, Shen Yu looked up at the Heaven and Earth Lock firmly blocking the outside of the Array, his smile becoming increasingly contemptuous.

"I have already sealed this place; you are completely unable to absorb that so-called power, so you may look powerful now, but in reality, you are just duckweed without roots!"

"Even if I can't grind you to death for a moment, it doesn't matter. I can grind slowly; if one day isn't enough, then two days; if two days aren't enough, then ten days. I don't believe I can't finish you off!"

"Scoundrel!" Filled with rage and a trace of fear, at this moment, he was truly panicked.

Originally, he could absorb power from the outside, but previously, a golden light had suddenly appeared outside the Array, directly severing all his connections to the outside.

One must know that the Array trapping him had the ability to constantly weaken him.

In other words, even if Shen Yu didn't make a move, this broken Array could wear him down significantly.

He also hadn't expected that, while it was said that only Mental Power could resist and wear down his power—and no expert of the same level ever found him anything but a headache—

But the current Shen Yu had taught him a lesson: the power of thunder could do it, and the strange power on his body that seemed to completely restrain him made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It felt as if the other party's entire set of skills was prepared specifically for him; he was being completely countered.

His power appeared not to have been worn away, but only he knew the true bitterness. The mist appeared not to have decreased, but in fact, a careful look would show it had already thinned significantly.

These anomalies formed by negative energy were the source of his power and the foundation of his life.

If all of this were to be completely worn away, then they would have reached their end. They could only shrink into a ball just like at the very beginning, guarding only the last bit of their origin, enduring bitterly through countless days and nights.

Hoping that one day some unlucky child would fall by their side again, just like Gu Ying did back then.

He had already lived through such days for countless years, and he did not want to go on living them anymore.

The Black Mist suddenly began to churn and shift, as if it had strengthened significantly in an instant, appearing to want to break through the constraints of the Great Array.

Yet, no matter how the Black Mist struggled, it was still blocked back entirely.

Watching this scene, Shen Yu only gave a faint smile; it was merely a deathbed struggle. What a joke, if it were truly capable of breaking through the seal, he would not have waited until today.
