Chapter 784: All Must Die!

Within the Yanfu Great Array, danger is everywhere.

No sooner had one entered than Yin-thunder exploded, containing the thirty-six thunders of the heavens, shaking the soul and destroying the physical body.

Following this was a sea of ink-colored clouds, leaving the surroundings in pitch darkness, unable to see a sliver of light, constantly crushing the body and soul.

In the darkness, thousands of green lights flickered; these were the Yanfu Yin-thunders, and even experts who have passed the Fourfold or Fivefold Lightning Tribulation could be buried within them.

A moment later, countless giant green trees as thick as elephants flew over, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, crashing down violently. This was the "Azure-Yellow Wood-Element Thunder." The power carried by each one was equivalent to the full-force spear throw of a Martial Saint.

"No wonder this Yanfu Great Array is reputed to be able to kill even a Creator; even without a Heavenly Dragon presiding over it, it can still unleash such power," the Heavenly Dragon Sect Leader exclaimed. If not for Yu Liancheng taking action, she and Xing Yuxian would definitely have perished in this array, dying without a burial ground.

Yu Liancheng stood in the void, his divine sense enveloping the area. The Heavenly Mystery Dao began to spin frantically, and the Heavenly Weeping Scripture at the center of his brow also flickered with radiance, constantly performing deductions.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly. His deep eyes had already seen this great array clearly, leaving no part of it misunderstood.

This Yanfu Great Array is actually a Nine-Palace diagram.

The entire great array has palaces within palaces, with each palace connected to the next, like a massive labyrinth, with twisted and folded space, confusing and repeating time, filled with rolling black clouds.

And in each of the main palaces of the Nine Palaces, a magical treasure looms, releasing waves of powerful fluctuations, coordinating with one another to unleash astonishing power and maintain the basic operation of the array.

In the main palace where Yu Liancheng and the two others are currently located, there is a magical treasure: a tree as tall as a person, entirely cyan-jade in color.

In the other main palaces, there is a tripod, a banner, an incense burner, a seashell, a mirror, a spear, an egg, and a gourd.

It is precisely these nine magical treasures that maintain the operation of the entire Yanfu Great Array.

Yu Liancheng moved his body and descended onto a small island. Growing on this island was a green tree; it had no leaves, but had bare, branching twigs that looked like deer antlers, or perhaps a spirit fungus. This was the magical treasure in this palace—the Jia-Yi Azure Dragon Wood.

Yu Liancheng reached out and grabbed the Jia-Yi Azure Dragon Wood.

A roar emanated from the Azure Dragon Wood, wanting to break free and fly away, as if he were holding a real Qinglong.

However, it could not escape Yu Liancheng's grasp no matter what.

A fluctuation rose from the center of his brow, and his thoughts flew continuously into the Jia-Yi Azure Dragon Wood.

As his divine sense washed over it like a tide, he soon refined this divine artifact.

With this Jia-Yi Azure Dragon Wood, it would be much simpler to traverse the regions and master the other divine artifacts.

Soon, he mastered the second divine artifact, the Yin-Thunder Phosphor Reed, and the third divine artifact, the Heavenly Kui Divine Water Tripod...

Just as Yu Liancheng was preparing to collect the "Starfire Incense Burner," a thunderous shout suddenly rang out: "Stop! Champion Marquis, these things are not for you to touch."

"Hand over the divine artifacts. This Yanfu Great Array can only be controlled by our Saint families. Do not be mistaken, or you will only meet death."

The four heads of the families had finally arrived.

At the same time, the four of them drove their thoughts and Qi and Blood, launching terrifying great divine abilities.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe! Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill! Seven-Kill Infinite!"

"Liudao Brahma Heaven, Reincarnation of Beasts, Heavenly Human and Evil Ghosts, die for me!"

"Phoenix Nirvana, Bathing-in-Fire King Fist."

One after another, famous great divine abilities that had left their names in the long river of history were unleashed in a frenzy, causing the area for hundreds of miles to shake, layers of space to wobble, and air waves to roll.

Yu Liancheng held several divine artifacts related to the Yanfu Great Array, allowing him to control the array to a certain extent. Thus, as his mind shifted, the invisible fluctuations rising in the air annihilated the various terrifying divine abilities the four had unleashed. More accurately, they were absorbed by the Yanfu Great Array.

"Champion Marquis, it really is you!"

"Hurry up and hand it over; the Yanfu Great Array is not something you can lay your hands on."

"Divine objects belong to those with virtue. In this world, besides our Saint families, who else is qualified to master them? If you can hand over the Yanfu Great Array, our Saint families will not only refrain from making things difficult for you, but will even reward you handsomely."

Seeing that their great divine abilities could not kill Yu Liancheng, the four family heads paused temporarily, their expressions turning vigilant.

They were quite organized in their division of labor, with one playing the bad cop and another playing the good cop.

The Fan family head and the Sun family head directly threatened him, displaying the overbearing nature of the Saint families, while the Wang family head used profit to entice him, yet remained high and mighty, causing one to feel disgust from the bottom of their heart.

"These Saint families have actually come; I fear there will be trouble this time." The Heavenly Dragon Sect Leader frowned slightly; she was very wary of these Saint families. Not to mention that the Saint family heads were all experts who had passed the Lightning Tribulation, the foundation of the Saint families was too strong, and they were linked together—if one suffered, all suffered; if one prospered, all prospered.

"Champion Marquis, be careful, especially that Fan family head, Fan Yuntao. The Fan family possesses the Six Paths Brahma Heaven divine ability, which can condense six incarnations, each with incomparably powerful strength. The other three families are not to be underestimated either, like the Wang family head, who once went into the mountains to compile the 'Dao Scripture' and the 'Martial Scripture'."

Yu Liancheng looked at the four high-and-mighty family heads who were constantly clamoring, and shook his head: "But in my view, these fellows all have a serious illness in their brains and need to be treated."

Upon hearing this, the four family heads all changed color.

They were high and mighty, and did not even hold the Great Gan Dynasty in their eyes.

After all, dynasties rise and fall every few hundred years, but their Saint families have been passed down for thousands of years.

As for the Great Zen Temple and the Supreme Dao, they were viewed as heterodox paths.

Since the day they were born, no one had ever dared to be disrespectful to them.

Whether in cultivation or status, they had long stood at the peak, looking down upon the common masses.

"Everyone, I will use the Liudao Brahma Heaven Fist again to kill this arrogant person; you all assist me."

The Fan family head gave a thunderous shout, and ten thousand thoughts rose from his body. At the same time, six figures split off from his body.

"Liudao Brahma Heaven, Endless Reincarnation, kill, kill, kill!!"

The Fan family head shouted and unleashed the Liudao Brahma Heaven Fist with all his might.

The six figures also erupted, their fist intent shaking the heavens and the earth.

Both the Dragon Girl and Xing Yuxian felt their hearts jump; they could only sense a strange and mysterious flavor from this punch.

—The power of reincarnation.

It turned out that the Fan family's Liudao Brahma Book already involved the power of reincarnation.

If one were to cultivate the Liudao Brahma Book to completion, and their own realm reached the level of the Sevenfold, Eightfold, or Ninefold Lightning Tribulation, they could completely demote a person to a beast.

If a person mastered the Liudao of Reincarnation, they could turn their opponent into a pig or dog, or an evil ghost; the methods were bizarre and unpredictable, strong beyond imagination.

"We will lend you a hand."

Rumble! The other three family heads suddenly shouted, each unleashing their own divine abilities, erupting with heaven-shaking power, merging into this punch of the Liudao of Reincarnation, making the power of this punch even more terrifying, as if it could destroy a small world.

"Originally, for the sake of your ancestors, I might not have been unable to spare your lives, but unfortunately..."

Yu Liancheng sighed leisurely.

The masters of the Hundred Schools were all sages of noble character, inspiring admiration in people's hearts.

But after they departed, their descendants formed one ancient noble family after another.

These noble families utilized rituals to create a system of moral education, devouring people without spitting out the bones, and became one of the greatest malignant tumors of this world.

These noble families were deeply rooted and stood together, and even during the rise and fall of dynasties, they were the ones pulling the strings.

They became the new evil dragons.

Yet no one could eradicate them.

The next moment.

"You are seeking your own deaths!"

The next moment, Yu Liancheng let out a long whistle, and a power like a mountain collapse or a tsunami erupted from the acupuncture points all over his body; a fist intent almost condensed into substance, merging with the power of his Qi and Blood, blotting out the sky and sun, carrying an indifferent and ruthless meaning, as if it were the Dao of Heaven. At the same time, a massive wheel seal emerged, slowly rotating, crushing everything.

Yu Liancheng liked the Heavens Life and Death Wheel.

This fist technique was boundless and overbearing, like a God King turning the wheel, with life and death both determined by him.

And his attainment in the Life and Death Wheel far exceeded even that of Hong Xuanji; he was a true God King who controlled life and death.

Boom!!

Boom-boom!!

The Liudao Reincarnation Fist, which fused the full-force strikes of the four family heads, collided with the Heavens Life and Death Wheel unleashed by a peak Human Immortal, instantly erupting with a sound like the Opening Heaven. Within the void turbulence, it was like a ten-thousand-foot raging wave, and violent air currents expanded in circles. Throughout the entire void, a black hole was revealed. Within a radius of a hundred miles, everything seemed to have turned into chaos.

Bang!!

However, under the crushing force of that Heavens Life and Death Wheel, the Liudao Reincarnation exploded with a roar, and the fist seal slowly crushed toward the four family heads.

The four family heads were all injured, and amidst roars, they exerted their full strength and began to flee, scattering in all directions.

And this wheel seal ultimately locked onto the head of the Fan family.

Who told this guy to have the strongest strength!

Bang!!

The physical shell of the Fan family head was directly blasted apart, and countless thoughts flew out; each thought emitted a fierce, angry roar, like an enraged bull, or perhaps a beast provoked to the point of completely losing its rationality.

Shame, what a shame.

This was an unimaginable humiliation.

As the head of a thousand-year Saint noble family, Fan Yuntao did not even hold the current Qian Emperor in his eyes. But now, his physical body had actually been blasted apart, and he was fleeing like a stray dog, in a state of utter wretchedness.

Just as the remaining thoughts wanted to escape, Yu Liancheng waved his hand, and a Dark Mandala appeared, sealing all of Fan Yuntao's thoughts so they could not escape.

"Champion, do you know how great a crime you have committed?"

"You actually dare to lay a hand on me, dare to lay a hand on the head of a Saint noble family."

"Quickly release me, you guy with dirty bloodlines, to actually dare to commit such an act of rebellion." Fan Yuntao was very angry, emitting a heaven-shaking roar, and seemed to carry a trace of confusion.

Why!? Why would he dare to attack a Saint family head? Could it be he had not a shred of reverence for Saints? Could it be he wanted to die that much?! The Hundred Schools of Thought stood together; if he dared to kill him, then almost all the noble families would riot.

"Is your brain really sick? Why would I fear you Saint noble families? As long as I pinch you four guys to death, who else would know that I killed you?"

Yu Liancheng shook his head; these Saint noble families were used to being arrogant.

The most effective way to communicate with them was to slap their faces hard.

After completely sealing Fan Yuntao's thoughts, Yu Liancheng's gaze looked into the distance again.

The other three family heads had already disappeared.

Whoosh!

A human figure flew out from between Yu Liancheng's brows and chased in a certain direction.

Today.

All of you must die!!

At the other end of the Ancient Dragon Tomb, the three family heads gathered together; the three pairs of eyes met, then withdrew like lightning.

They could all see a trace of joy in each other's eyes.

That's right.

It was joy.

The Fan family head was dead, so the Fan family would inevitably fall into chaos, and that would be the time for their other three families to make a move.

The Hundred Schools of Thought appeared to stand together, but they were far from as united as imagined.

The Fan family was too prosperous; only with the decline of the Fan family could the other families further grow.

As for the Champion Marquis, naturally, they would have to unite the Hundred Schools of Thought, and even the Great Qian Dynasty, to kill this guy who dared to offend the majesty of the Hundred Schools.

Boom!

Boom-boom!!

At this very moment, the expressions of the four family heads changed simultaneously, as they felt as if a sea of thunder had erupted within the entire void turbulence.

"What is that?"

The Wang family head only turned his head, and his expression changed wildly.

The other two turned their heads at the same time, their expressions no better than the Wang family head's.

They saw a burly figure dragging terrifying streamers of light, carrying boundless power, and bringing with it an incomparably terrifying momentum, rolling over from the distance.

A Human Immortal.

It was absolutely a Human Immortal, without a doubt.

And it was not even a bit inferior to Yu Liancheng.

"This seat is Haotian Jinzhang." The cold and ruthless voice echoed between heaven and earth. Every word was like a thunderclap, making the three family heads feel their spirits trembling.

Immediately, that figure appeared before the three family heads. He was as majestic as an ancient God Demon, his full head of red hair fluttering like flames, and his strong and massive presence was like a great sun hanging at the edge of the sky, boundless and terrifying. Then, this person pinched his five fingers, his Divine Fist holding up the sky, like a divine pillar propping up the firmament.

Boom!!

A fist smashed down with a roar.

Under this punch, the three family heads felt their vision instantly turn to Darkness; the fist blotted out the sky and sun, obscuring all light. Space trembled violently, and the waves of Qi surged like a wild tide. Space shook incessantly, even showing cracks, as if it might become Broken at any moment.

And this.

Was merely this person's one punch.

Upon seeing this punch, the three family heads seemed to witness the sky collapsing and the universe perishing; the violent power turned all matter within dozens of miles into tiny dust. Under this punch, they were like ants when a Divine Mountain collapses—insignificant, about to be crushed into meat paste at any moment.

"This punch..."

Boom!!

This punch finally smashed down.

The heavens and earth were in great upheaval.

"Sending you on your way."

PS: Happy New Year, everyone. I am taking a day off tomorrow. This book will likely conclude in one or two more arcs. I am already preparing the next book—it will be a martial arts crossover, invincible protagonist style. Writing high fantasy really doesn't come that naturally to me after all.
