144. Chapter 144: Array Formation (Cultivating Immortality in the Demon-Martial Chaotic World, Making Up for a Missed Update 1)
Thunder clouds rolled.
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan held a purple orb, struggling to hold on.
Suddenly!
The earth shook and the mountains swayed, and a large patch of the thunder clouds actually collapsed!
"An opportunity!"
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan was a rogue cultivator by origin, having cultivated all the way to the False Jin Dan stage. She had experienced countless battles, large and small, and her experience could be called incomparably rich.
Although she didn't know why the grand array had collapsed, she keenly seized the opportunity.
"Go!"
She formed seals with both hands, and a drop of essence blood was forced out.
The purple orb merged with the essence blood, suddenly bursting with brilliant light, and carrying traces of blood color, it transformed into a blood-feathered purple bird that flew into the thunder clouds, countless runes appearing around its body before it suddenly exploded.
Boom—!
The thunder clouds filling the sky dissipated instantly, revealing a clear sky for ten thousand miles.
On each mountain peak, the various disciples of the Wan Shouzong Sect all had their expressions change, spraying out mouthfuls of essence blood.
Three rays of Foundation Establishment light surged aggressively toward Fang Xing to kill him.
They were all smart people; unwilling to join the False Jin Dan battlefield, they went to find trouble with Fang Xing instead.
"Wan Shouzong Sect, for today's events, this Immortal will surely repay you in the future."
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan had a slender figure, wore a long purple dress, and had a beautiful face, but her words were extremely overbearing.
"In the future? I'm afraid you won't live to see that day."
Elder Zong stepped on a four-winged flying snake, retracted his magic treasure, the black saber, to guard himself, and stroked his spirit pet, a look of regret appearing on his face: "I originally didn't want to use this move. That damned Lian Cheng, even if he doesn't die, after returning, I will execute him according to sect rules!"
As the array master, he was very clear about the changes in the array.
He knew it was the trouble caused by that inner disciple, Lian Cheng, who had rashly trapped a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the array.
The key was that he couldn't kill the opponent, and instead was counter-killed by the opponent, destroying a corner of the array.
Otherwise, Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan would absolutely not have been able to break out of the array and would have been worn down to death sooner or later, and he wouldn't have had to pay such a high price.
But now, that was no longer possible.
"Xiao Qing..."
Elder Zong let out a sharp shout, took a bottle of pills from the storage bag in his bosom, and threw the medicine bottle directly into the mouth of the Rank 2 High-Grade four-winged flying snake beneath him.
The giant demon snake exerted a little force, and the jade bottle turned to powder, the scarlet pill inside quickly swallowed into its belly.
Hiss hiss!
The four-winged flying snake immediately hissed toward the sky, its snake skin cracking, and a small bump grew on the top of its head, as if a single horn was about to emerge.
Seeing this scene, Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan thought of something: "I heard that old ghost Lian obtained a great benefit from the desolate lands, and the 'Horned Python' he raised advanced to Rank 2 Mid-Grade... That Horned Python has half the bloodline of a flood dragon. Could this pill be the 'Dragon-Transformation Pill' refined from its blood?"
"Not bad, it is indeed the 'Dragon-Transformation Pill'. Although it is only a fake, it is enough to make my spirit pet possess the blood of a flood dragon for a short while."
Elder Zong sneered, then formed seals with both hands and began to chant.
His magic power surged, and that False Jin Dan was actually pushed to its limit, emitting terrifying magic power fluctuations.
Beneath him, that four-winged flying snake, which seemed about to transform into a dragon, twisted its body uneasily...
"Not good, the Spirit-Attachment Technique?!"
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan was greatly alarmed, raising her hand to reveal a talisman.
Countless violent cyan thunderbolts, like cyan pythons, swept toward Elder Zong; it was actually a Rank 3 Wood-Attribute Divine Lei Fu!
Rumble!
Endless thunder light swept past, but was completely blocked by that pitch-black long saber magic treasure.
Those cyan thunderbolts, carrying indescribable power of destruction and vitality, landed on the pitch-black light screen transformed by the black saber, only to be silently dissolved...
Although this Wood-Attribute Divine Lei Fu was Rank 3, the black saber was also a Rank 3 magic treasure, and Elder Zong had been prepared, only defending and not attacking, so he blocked it very easily.
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan was also chanting something, seemingly preparing a high-power spell, and sighed in her heart as she looked at the 'Purple Hair Orb' magic treasure in her hand.
Just now, in order to break the grand array, she had to reluctantly stimulate the full power of this low-grade magic treasure. Now, the 'Purple Hair Orb's' origin was damaged, and it had to be returned to her dantian to be nurtured before it could fully recover.
Using it to clash head-on with the black saber magic treasure offered little chance of victory.
And at this moment, Elder Zong had already completed the spell, his eyes carrying a trace of blood color, a strange smile appearing on his face: "Spirit-Attachment Technique!"
This was a secret divine ability of the Wan Shouzong Sect; every time it was cast, it required the sacrifice of a Rank 2 dragon-type demon beast, and the bloodline power had to be quite dense!
The previous Supreme Elder of the Wan Shouzong Sect was an alchemist who spent half his life conceiving a 'Fake Dragon-Transformation Pill' recipe, which could cause dragon-type demon beasts like pythons and carp to have their bloodline power explode for three hours!
It was just that refining this pill required the blood of a Rank 2 Mid-Grade or higher Horned Python as a medicinal primer.
That was why old ghost Lian cared so much about that ink jade python; it was all to advance his own Horned Python!
Now, as long as the Horned Python was bled regularly, they could continuously refine Fake Dragon-Transformation Pills, greatly increasing the strength of the Wan Shouzong Sect's various False Jin Dan and Jin Dan Immortals!
Amidst Elder Zong's roar, the four-winged flying snake beneath him let out a hiss filled with pain, and the single horn on its head suddenly emerged.
Then, a layer of blood-colored light burned from all the scales on its body.
The huge Rank 2 snake demon turned to ash in an instant, and only a demon soul like a poisonous dragon was extracted, landing in Elder Zong's hand.
Elder Zong looked at the poisonous dragon-like demon soul in his hand, a trace of pain and reluctance flashing in his eyes, then pointed at Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan: "Go!"
The poisonous dragon was like an arrow, arriving in front of Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan in an instant.
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan waved her hand, and a layer of purple crystal appeared out of thin air, transforming into a huge shield to guard in front of her.
That Purple Hair Orb magic treasure landed in front of her, dropping an exceptionally thick purple light screen, on which countless runes swam like tadpoles.
Pop!
The arrow transformed by the demon soul easily penetrated the purple crystal shield, leaving a hole in the light screen, its size shrinking by more than half, and the demon soul also becoming semi-transparent, yet it still drilled into Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan's forehead.
"Rank 3 means!" Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan's face immediately flushed with a layer of black energy, and she violently spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
The Spirit-Attachment Technique, using the demon soul as a medium, transformed into a soul-chasing poisonous arrow; those struck were like being hit by a bone-eating gangrene!
If it were old ghost Lian of the Wan Shouzong Sect casting it, even Jin Dan mid-stage or even late-stage cultivators would not want to take it head-on.
Although Elder Zong was only False Jin Dan, the Spirit-Attachment Technique he cast was a solid Rank 3 means, like a strike from a true Jin Dan, heavily wounding Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan!
Not only that, the strange poison carried by the poisonous dragon demon soul was constantly corroding Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan's physique, magic power, and divine soul... and even that False Jin Dan!
If she didn't get treatment, she would surely die within three days!
"What a Spirit-Attachment Technique... truly like the rumors, not losing to a divine ability."
Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan took out a spirit pill and swallowed it, barely suppressing her injuries, despair already beginning to grow in her heart.
"This time it cost me my spirit pet, you will surely die here today."
Elder Zong steered the black saber magic treasure, his expression ferocious.
Just then, he seemed to sense something and swept his divine sense.
He saw that of the sect's three Foundation Establishment cultivators, two had actually been head-shot one after another by a figure.
Those Qi Condensation disciples were even more miserable, chased down and slaughtered one after another by a silver-white figure.
"Elder Zong... save me!"
The last Foundation Establishment cultivator, carrying a large bell spirit tool, fled frantically toward Elder Zong.
He didn't know what was going on either; he had clearly just gone to kill that early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a terrifying body cultivator had suddenly killed his way out from underground, and his two companions had died in almost an instant.
Fortunately, the 'Gold Origin Bell' in his hand was a high-grade spirit tool, known for its defense, and had the ability to automatically protect its master.
Otherwise, he would have been punched to death just now!
'This person is absolutely not an ordinary Rank 2 body cultivator... he should be a quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator equivalent to a False Jin Dan cultivator!'
This Wan Shouzong Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator felt incomparable regret in his heart.
But the next moment, a figure had already rushed behind him.
The opponent seemed able to step on the air, his short-distance acceleration was incomparable, and his changes in direction were very flexible; he was simply not the body cultivator who was rumored to be bad at air combat!
This Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted while injecting all his magic power into the Gold Origin Bell.
The Gold Origin Bell grew larger and larger, enveloping his entire person.
Clang! Clang!
Fang Xing threw out punches and palms, hitting the surface of the golden bell, and accompanied by a deafening loud noise, the terrifying penetrating and vibrating power landed on the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Clatter!
The Gold Origin Bell suddenly lost all magic power support, transforming into a small golden bell.
A pile of rotten meat emerged from inside the bell and spilled into the sky.
And at this time, the cultivation clone also killed the last Qi Condensation cultivator and found a place to hide.
The battle of False Jin Dan Immortals was not something a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could participate in.
"Wan Shouzong Sect False Jin Dan... and Immortal Daoist Zi Yuan?"
Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, a sneer appearing on his face: "So it was you plotting here, but why did you have to drag me into it?"
"Audacious thief... how dare you slaughter my Wan Shouzong Sect cultivators!?"
Elder Zong's eyes were about to split: "Today I will surely not spare you!"
Although Fang Xing's aura was like a mortal's, in the eyes of the two False Jin Dan Immortals, it was simply ridiculous.
How could a mortal fly with their physical body?
Therefore, he must have used a breath-concealing technique; looking at the great strength from before, he should be a quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator, comparable to a False Jin Dan cultivator.
But a quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator's means were not as rich as a False Jin Dan cultivator's, so they would inevitably fall into a disadvantage in a fight.
Elder Zong was considered a powerhouse among False Jin Dan, and was even about to have the record of killing another False Jin Dan, so naturally he looked down on a quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator even more.
"Die!"
Seeing Fang Xing rush over, Elder Zong immediately pointed at his black saber magic treasure.
The black long saber roared, and a ghost head on the hilt immediately let out a soul-snatching scream, capable of attacking the mind.
This was because Elder Zong knew that most body cultivators had poor divine sense, so he specifically chose to attack this weakness.
Not only that, but a flash of light on the black saber magic treasure actually emitted a sheet of pitch-black wind blades.
Countless black wild winds were like sharp blades, forming a tornado, like a pitch-black giant dragon, swallowing Fang Xing into it.
Clatter!
Under this kind of attack, the nano-protective suit on Fang Xing's body actually began to shatter, revealing his skin, which looked as if he were wearing golden silk heavy armor.
'With my current physique, I cannot contend with the magic treasure itself... but as long as I dodge the magic treasure itself, these spell damages and splash... are just like a breeze brushing my face.'
Fang Xing performed the Dancing Sky Step, leaping out of the black tornado, and after a few steps, arrived in front of Elder Zong.
"Impossible..."
Elder Zong's eyes widened in anger; how could this body cultivator not only have an incomparably stable sea of consciousness, but also be so swift in his movement in the air?
But he had no time to think.
Two points of golden light flashed in Fang Xing's eyes, and his tyrannical martial will directly crashed into the False Jin Dan Immortal's sea of consciousness, causing him to lose his focus for an instant.
Then, he extended three fingers, on which countless forces gathered!
