Chapter 429: Activating the Great Array

After Duan Fengyun finished speaking, Chen Jingchou also secretly transmitted his voice to the Gold Protector and the others:

"You go out and meet them.

I am going to give them a big surprise in a moment!"

After receiving Chen Jingchou's nod, the Gold Protector, the Water Protector, and Shuxiang, who were in the shadows, all walked out.

As for Ning Ke, she was a traitor, and Chen Jingchou dared not bring her before Duan Fengyun and the others.

Who knew if Ning Ke would expose herself later, so Chen Jingchou put Ning Ke into the Demon-Suppressing Pot and locked her up.

Seeing the Gold Protector, the Water Protector, and Shuxiang walk out from the tower, Duan Fengyun mocked:

"What is it, has your Demon Realm run out of successors?

Are you defeated losers here again?

Where are your Demon Lord and your Lady Ning Ke?

Hurry and let them come out.

If they don't come soon, I won't wait for them; I am going to activate the Lost Array."

The Gold Protector spoke up:

"Duan Fengyun, stop being so arrogant. Just by relying on you lot, you want to fight the Demon Lord? Keep dreaming!

If you want to fight the Demon Lord, you must first get past us."

Seeing the Gold Protector, who was so unafraid of death, Duan Fengyun became interested. Just as Duan Fengyun picked up the Xuanyuan Sword and was about to walk toward the three, he was stopped by Guyue Xianren.

Guyue Xianren said:

"Duan Fengyun, this must be their conspiracy.

They want to exhaust your cultivation and physical strength first, so that you will be at a disadvantage in terms of stamina and cultivation when you face the Demon Lord later.

You must not fall for their trick. You are our final trump card; save your physical strength and cultivation first.

Leave these three to us. Do you still not trust the strength of this former Earth Emperor?"

Duan Fengyun nodded and handed the Gold Protector and the other two over to Guyue, Ran Weng, and the Diren Tribe Queen.

The Gold Protector and his companions looked at Guyue and the others. The Gold Protector had never seen Guyue before, so he spoke up:

"Who are you? State your names quickly.

I won't hold back against you later.

Especially that beauty beside you; we wouldn't mind enjoying her after we defeat you."

Hearing the Gold Protector use such vulgar language, the Diren Tribe Queen was instantly filled with rage and said:

"You demon, to be so vulgar! Today I will make sure you have no place to be buried.

What are you still standing there for?

Attack and deal with them for me."

The Diren Tribe Queen had never suffered such humiliation before, so she was extremely angry now.

Guyue stopped the Diren Tribe Queen and said:

"Yuyu, don't be angry. I will vent your anger for you in a moment."

Guyue Xianren looked at the Gold Protector and the others and said:

"I believe the three of you are the Gold Protector and Water Protector from the Demon Realm Five Protectors, and the other one should be the Book Spirit of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Shuxiang, right?"

The Gold Protector nodded:

"Correct, that is us.

Looking at your appearance, you shouldn't be an unknown person. Who are you?"

Guyue laughed:

"I am Guyue, the former Earth Emperor and the guide for the current Earth Emperor.

This fellow beside me is my old companion Ran Weng, and this is the Diren Tribe Queen."

Upon hearing Guyue's lighthearted words, the Gold Protector's heart tightened. He had not expected Guyue and the others to have such significant backgrounds. That woman was actually the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms, the Diren Tribe Queen.

Guyue looked at the three with a smile, then suddenly launched an attack, striking at the Gold Protector with lightning speed.

Although Guyue had a gentle personality, the Gold Protector had dared to insult the woman he loved most; how could Guyue easily let him go?

Before the Gold Protector could react, his face was struck by several heavy slaps from Guyue Xianren.

Guyue Xianren said with a stern face:

"Those few slaps just now were a lesson for your insolence!"

"You!"

The Gold Protector held his face, pointing his finger at Guyue Xianren. He had been completely off-guard just now and had been unable to react at all.

【The old book friends of ten years recommended a reading app to me, Wild Fruit Reading! It's really damn good to use. I rely on this for reading and listening to books to pass the time before driving or sleeping. You can download it here】

It was mainly because Guyue's speed was too fast; he simply had no time to react.

The Gold Protector knew this was because Guyue's strength far exceeded his own cultivation, which was why this outcome had occurred.

Guyue looked at the Diren Tribe Queen and smiled:

"Yuyu, are you satisfied now?"

The Diren Tribe Queen nodded with satisfaction; her man had never let her down.

Seeing the Gold Protector humiliated, the Water Protector rushed up, wanting to help the Gold Protector regain his standing.

Seeing the Water Protector attack, the Gold Protector and Shuxiang naturally followed suit.

Guyue went straight to face the Gold Protector, Ran Weng took on the Water Protector, and the weakest, Shuxiang, was naturally left for the Diren Tribe Queen.

Of the battles between the three pairs, the one between Shuxiang and the Diren Tribe Queen was the first to be resolved.

As the queen of the Diren Tribe Tribe, if she wanted to keep the Diren Tribe from being invaded by other tribes, the Diren Tribe Queen's own strength would naturally not be low.

Shuxiang's strength was simply not enough to look at in front of the Diren Tribe Queen; the Diren Tribe Queen knocked Shuxiang to the ground with just a single Shulong Shu.

Guyue was also gaining the upper hand in his exchange with the Gold Protector.

Firstly, Guyue's talent and natural gifts were outstanding to begin with; otherwise, how could he serve as the Earth Emperor.

Secondly, the Gold Protector had been shorn of an arm by Duan Fengyun, greatly reducing his strength.

As for the battle between Ran Weng and the Water Protector, Ran Weng was on the losing side.

After all, Ran Weng was not someone with outstanding talent like Guyue, and the Water Protector had not sustained any injuries.

After the Diren Tribe Queen injured Shuxiang, she joined the battle between Ran Weng and the Water Protector.

Duan Fengyun stood beside Yu Xiaoxue, cautiously guarding the surroundings; he was worried that someone in the shadows might do something to Shuxiang.

His peripheral vision was also focused on the battlefield; if any trouble arose on their side, he would immediately step in to help.

Meanwhile, the battle between Yuwen Tuo and Juhai was finally coming to an end.

Yuwen Tuo and Juhai did not usually coordinate with each other, yet the two of them were surprisingly in sync.

Juhai carried Yuwen Tuo as they charged and smashed through, while Duan Fengyun brandished the Xuanyuan Sword, its terrifying Golden Sword Qi reaping the lives of the Eight Great Heavenly Kings.

Five of the Eight Great Heavenly Kings were left severely injured and collapsed to the ground due to the attacks from Juhai and Yuwen Tuo, while the remaining three continued to hold on.

But with only the three of them left, how could they withstand the dual onslaught of Yuwen Tuo and Juhai?

Under the full-force attacks of Yuwen Tuo and Juhai, the remaining three Heavenly Kings followed the fate of the previous five, left severely injured on the ground by Yuwen Tuo and Juhai.

Guyue also easily finished off the Gold Protector on his side, and everyone's gaze turned to the battle between the Diren Tribe Queen, Ran Weng, and the Water Protector.

The Diren Tribe Queen and the Water Protector were both experts in water-based techniques; neither could do anything to the other, and they fought to a stalemate.

However, with Ran Weng by the Diren Tribe Queen's side, the Diren Tribe Queen successfully knocked the Water Protector to the ground with Ran Weng's assistance. Now that all the minions of the Demon Realm had been knocked to the ground, Duan Fengyun laughed loudly:

"Demon Lord, your minions have all been defeated now.

If you don't appear, we are going to activate the Lost Array.

Once we activate the Lost Array, you and your Demon Realm will have to say goodbye to the Human Realm!"

After Duan Fengyun finished speaking, there was still no response.

Chen Jingchou, who was in the shadows, did not panic; he believed that once the Lost Array was activated, it would not be possible to seal the Scar of the Sky immediately.

Chen Jingchou also wanted to see just how powerful the Lost Array was.

If the Demon Lord were here, he would likely be angered to death by Chen Jingchou.

Once the Lost Array was activated, Duan Fengyun would receive the blessing of the power of the Five Divine Artifacts, making him even harder to deal with; yet Chen Jingchou actually wanted to wait for the Lost Array to be activated.

Seeing that there was still no response, Duan Fengyun guessed that the Demon Lord must be observing from the shadows, waiting for them to activate the Lost Array so he could catch them off guard.

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Since the Demon Lord won't come out, let's go activate the Lost Array.

Everyone, let's go!"

Guyue walked at the very front, leading everyone into the Tongtian Tower.

Guyue brought everyone to an Array Formation, where each of the five corners of the array had a placement slot.

Guyue pointed at the placement slots and said:

"This is where the Five Divine Artifacts are placed.

The Kunlun Mirror is at the top, the Kongtong Seal and the Shennong Cauldron are on the two sides, and the Fuxi Zither and the Nuwa Stone are at the two bottom positions.

Place the Five Divine Artifacts in their respective spots as I just described; remember, you must not place them in the wrong positions, or I don't know what will happen.

Every time the position of one of the Five Divine Artifacts is changed, a different major array will be activated, so you must be careful."

Duan Fengyun took the Kunlun Mirror, the Shennong Cauldron, the Kongtong Seal, and the Fuxi Zither out from the Void, and then everyone followed Guyue's instructions to place the four artifacts in their respective positions.

After placing the four artifacts, everyone's gaze turned to Yu Xiaoxue, and Yu Xiaoxue spoke up:

"Immortal, what should I do?"

Guyue Xianren replied:

"Xiaoxue, your Nuwa Stone is different from the other artifacts.

The Nuwa Stone is your heart; it cannot be taken out.

But you can replace the Nuwa Stone; go to the position of the Nuwa Stone and then channel your magic power."

Yu Xiaoxue nodded, walked to the position of the Nuwa Stone, sat cross-legged, and began to channel her magic power.

With the Five Divine Artifacts gathered, each emitted a brilliant light, and the Lost Array was officially activated.

Guyue Xianren shouted:

"Duan Fengyun, enter the center of these Five Divine Artifacts and let them help you complete your final mission."

Holding the Xuanyuan Sword, Duan Fengyun walked into the array step by step.

Then, a red light appeared in the air, and a suit of silver-glistening armor suddenly appeared on Duan Fengyun's body.

Seeing this armor, Guyue wore a smile; once upon a time, he too had relied on this armor to complete the heavy responsibility of saving the common people.

Guyue smiled and said:

"Duan Fengyun, this is the Xuanyuan Armor worn by your master, the Xuanyuan Huangdi, when he defeated the Demon Realm.

Go quickly and complete your mission!"

With the armor on his body, Duan Fengyun felt that he was filled with power at this moment.

At this time, Chen Jingchou, who was in the shadows, watched through gritted teeth; all of this should have belonged to him.

That suit of silver-glistening armor should have been worn by him, and the central figure of everyone should have been him as well.
