Chapter 99: Slaying the Array Formation, Nine-Colored Dragon-Kunpeng (Part 1)

The man believed that by unleashing a sea of fire, he could keep the thin, fiery threads from being detected, allowing him to kill without a trace.

Yet what he did not know was that under Mengchen's Supreme Technique, the Traces of the Heavenly Dao, all illusions were futile; those thin, fiery threads had long since been clearly captured in Mengchen's eyes.

Ten thin, fiery threads shot over to kill him. Mengchen dodged them, and those lightning-fast threads carried a terrifying, biting gale that seemed to slice through the void, emitting an exceptionally sharp and piercing hissing sound.

Seeing Mengchen dodge, the man felt deeply surprised. He controlled the fiery threads from afar, and in an instant, they turned back to kill, their chilling aura making one's heart tremble.

Mengchen dodged the swift and terrifying fiery threads by repeatedly leaning and bending, then charged forward violently. Immediately, sheets of Runes surged from his hands, and the Immortal Scripture Runes within his body were driven to their limit.

At this moment, his hands were like those cast from red gold, as hard as immortal gold. He thrust both hands out, grabbing all ten fiery threads in his grip.

Seeing this, the man was shocked. He had actually caught them with his bare hands! What surprised him even more was that his fiery threads were incomparably sharp, capable of cutting through gold and stone with ease, yet his hands had not been severed.

He immediately changed his hand seals, and with a *chi* sound, a red light shot out. Electric sparks crisscrossed over those fiery threads, turning them intensely red, and in an instant, mysterious Runes surged upon the threads, scorching and dazzling.

"So this magical treasure relies on inscribed Runes to be controlled!" Seeing the Runes surging on the ten fiery threads, Mengchen understood in an instant.

From this, he also knew that he only needed to refine these Runes away, and this thin-thread magical treasure would become an ownerless object. Once he inscribed his own Runes onto it, the treasure would change hands.

"Boom!" In an instant, a brilliant red-gold light flared on Mengchen's arms as the Immortal Scripture Runes were drawn out from his body.

The Immortal Scripture Runes surged explosively, instantly enveloping the erupting, violent Runes and refining and burning them with a very overbearing posture.

In just a moment, the violent Runes had been deeply penetrated by the Immortal Scripture Runes, and more than half had been refined away.

"Little thief, how dare you!" Sensing that his control over the magical treasure was becoming increasingly powerless, the man roared with a ferocious expression.

"Chi... Boom!" The violent Runes were completely refined and vanished by the Immortal Scripture Runes.

Following this, Mengchen tucked it into his pouch, leaving it to be inscribed with his own Runes after the battle, making it his own magical treasure.

The sharpness and toughness of this thin-thread magical treasure exceeded his expectations; with it in the future, he would have one more sharp weapon to kill without a trace when encountering enemies.

"Ah... Little thief, return my magical treasure!"

The man went straight into a frenzy. Since obtaining this magical treasure, he had spent nearly thirty years refining it and had slain countless enemies with it. Now, it had been snatched away by a junior in the Mingwen Jing, so how could he endure this?

"Heh... Didn't you say you wanted to give it to me? Then I naturally won't decline. How can there be a reason to take back something given as a gift! You probably don't even know you still have a human face!" Mengchen ignored the man's roar and mocked him with a frivolous look.

"You have successfully angered me! Divine Fire Extinguishes the World!"

The man unleashed his precious technique again. With a sweep of his large sleeves, the fiery glow obscured the sun and sky, intending to envelop Mengchen.

"Hmph! You have also successfully angered me!"

Mengchen's voice turned cold. In an instant, all eleven of his Cave Heavens opened wide, golden light flourished, and the world rumbled in resonance. High above his head, the sky was densely covered in brilliant golden clouds, shrouding him.

At this moment, he had driven all his Divine Power and divine abilities to their limit, and light rained down from the high sky.

Mengchen formed seals, and eight Heavenly Dragons, one red lotus, one golden pupil, and one Kunpeng emerged from his Cave Heavens in an instant, erupting with terrifying might beneath the falling rain of light.

The eight Heavenly Dragons—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and gold—roared as they charged out.

As the red lotus rotated, its heart bloomed toward the man, and the lotus petals shot out streaks of lethal red light.

The golden pupil embedded itself into the high sky, suddenly opening wide, and a terrifying, brilliant beam of light erupted and shot out.

A giant Kunpeng appeared and disappeared within the golden clouds; as it flapped its wings, the Runes transformed into thousands of sword feathers that shot down to kill.

"What an astonishing precious technique! But it's a pity, this alone cannot do anything to me."

While shocked, the man let out a *chi* sound, and a flaming blood-ruler was unleashed by him. The blood-colored flaming ruler slashed out, Runes surged, and a dragon's roar rang out, startling all directions.

Mengchen's eyes were stern. The four precious techniques bombarded it together, meeting the blood-ruler. A blood-colored great dragon rushed out from the ruler, unfolding a series of clashes.

That blood-colored great dragon was very realistic and lifelike; this should be the terrifying aspect of this blood-ruler magical treasure, like a True Dragon, majestic and peerless.

Although this blood-ruler was terrifying, Mengchen's three Supreme Techniques and the Kunpeng Precious Technique were not just empty reputations or flashy displays without substance.

In an instant, Mengchen's palms and fingers changed repeatedly, and finally, the four precious techniques combined their strength and slammed forward, shaking the surroundings, only then shattering that great dragon. Further away, Xiyao was too shocked to speak, her beautiful face filled with terror, her heart already in her throat.

Deep in her heart, she felt very conflicted. Originally, she was worried about Mengchen and terrified, but with the astonishing combat power Mengchen displayed, she should have been able to set her heart at ease.

Yet this not only failed to ease her worries, but instead made her even more terrified, completely beyond her control.

"This blood-ruler is not simple! It is actually stained with a trace of dragon blood."

Tianhu was startled, finally realizing the terrifying aspect of this flaming blood-ruler. Why was its aura so astonishing? It turned out to be stained with a trace of dragon blood.

Heizi was fully focused, watching carefully, not missing a single detail.

"Boom!"

The blood-colored great dragon was shattered, and the four precious techniques struck. The flaming blood-ruler was suddenly blasted to pieces, which also caused the man to be wounded again.

The man was forced back, his chest feeling stifled, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His clothes were tattered, and he looked very disheveled.

"So strong!"

The man exclaimed inwardly. He had still underestimated this bald man. If the flaming blood-ruler hadn't worn down most of the power of his four precious techniques, he would have been severely injured this time.

"As expected of the Array Formation Realm!" Seeing that the man had not suffered any substantial damage, Mengchen exclaimed in admiration.

Just now, if that strike had hit someone at the Great Perfection of the Mingwen Jing, they would have been crippled if not killed. He hadn't expected the man to only suffer minor injuries; the Array Formation Realm is truly a huge step above the Mingwen Jing.

Afterward, Mengchen took the initiative to attack, using the Gilded Zen Staff again. It was extremely brilliant, and he gripped it with both hands, charging forward with unstoppable momentum.

The man was an expert of the Array Formation Realm with terrifying strength, yet this bald youth was only in the middle stage of the Mingwen Jing, charging at him while wielding a Zen staff—it was truly speechless.

He had fought for so long and still hadn't taken him down, and now he was actually being attacked head-on by a junior of a later generation.

This was a humiliation! If this got out, how would he ever live it down?

Thinking of this, the man was full of resentment and unleashed a blood-colored great halberd.

"Clang!"

The great halberd met the Zen staff, the void trembled, and another blood-colored True Dragon rushed out from it. The dragon's roar shook the Nine Heavens, its massive body extremely intimidating.

"It's actually another magical treasure stained with dragon blood!" Tianhu felt deeply surprised.

Mengchen exerted his strength, and the Gilded Zen Staff emitted bursts of humming sounds, surrounded by auspicious clouds, strongly enveloping that blood-colored great dragon.

"Pop!"

Finally, the Runes exploded, and the blood-colored great dragon was refined into powder, dissipating in the air once again.

"Clang...!" Sparks flew in all directions.

The ensuing battle was intense; that Silver Halberd slashed repeatedly, colliding constantly with the Gilded Zen Staff in Mengchen's hands.

"Crack!" Finally, the blood-colored war halberd could no longer bear the strain and snapped into two pieces.

This made the Tianhu girl marvel even more; this Gilded Zen Staff was truly extraordinary, possessing boundless divine power.

Mengchen was also pleasantly surprised; this Gilded Zen Staff had infinite might and had never disappointed him.

"Ah... you junior, you have destroyed my treasures one after another; I will make you wish you were dead." The man felt deep anguish and let out an angry roar.

Immediately, the roaring man's entire body ignited with raging fire, which was extremely terrifying. He flew out in a fury, as sharp and fierce as a red phoenix, and engaged in a violent collision with Mengchen.

For Mengchen, this was a very powerful enemy.
