Chapter 968 - 303: Curtains Fall (Part 3)

Seeing this, Xu Xiu shook his head and sighed, "Why must you all do this?"

"I already spoke kindly before, advising you to leave at once."

"Yet you were greedy, insisted on staying to wade into this muddy water, and now that the grand array is complete, you regret it."

"Since when does the world offer so many good things just to suit you?"

Speaking to this point, Xu Xiu clasped his hands behind his back and swept his gaze over the more than thirty Nascent Soul True Monarchs and the many Golden Core Purple Mansion Realm cultivators from all sides, saying blandly, "With the Dao Practice of thirty-seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs from outside the realm and over two hundred Golden Core Purple Mansion cultivators as the foundation, this Dao Source Secret Realm of mine will be superior right from the start to other Secret Realms."

"Brats of the Shen Family, fortune smiles on you."

He turned to look at Shen Wen’an and the few others in the city behind him, slowly putting away the smile on his face. "Black Dragon, you will protect them."

"Ben Shui, Jingyang, let us begin the harvest."

As his words fell, everyone present changed expression.

At first they had still been somewhat confused. The Dao Source of Yangnao Land clearly had not yet been completely extracted, so why would Xu Xiu choose to appear at this moment?

Now that the forbiddance array had surfaced, they finally understood.

The old bastard had used the remaining Dao Origin Power of Yangnao Land to lay down a forbiddance array specifically targeting cultivators from outside this world.

The forbiddance array could cut off cultivators’ use of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power and magic and Dao rules.

The grand array Xu Xiu had set up could not completely restrain the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present, but as they remained within the array, the suppression upon their strength would grow ever more severe.

As one side wanes and the other waxes, Xu Xiu and the other two, plus that Black Dragon, as native cultivators of Yangnao Land, would not be affected by the forbiddance array, while they in turn would be unable to use even the power of Dao rules and techniques, and could only become lambs waiting for slaughter!

"Great Prosperity True Monarch!"

"If you do not let us leave, do not blame us for acting against those Shen Family people!"

The King Yue Mountain of the Daqu Secret Realm clearly no longer wished to involve himself. He already sensed a faint crisis of falling to his death.

"Oh?"

Xu Xiu had just been preparing to stride forward and slaughter the few from the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect. Hearing King Yue Mountain’s words, his steps paused slightly, and a cold smile surfaced on his face.

"Ben Shui, kill him first."

Behind him, Lu Benshui, clad in a green Magic Robe, his face covered in fine scales, slightly cupped his hands. "Yes, my lord."

As his voice fell, his palm suddenly stretched out, striking toward King Yue Mountain!

At the instant Lu Benshui’s palm extended, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in a flash, and a gigantic cyan dragon claw abruptly appeared in the void!

His flesh body was that of a pure-blooded Dragon Species, his strength exceedingly terrifying!

The moment the cyan dragon claw appeared, it locked down the entire space where King Yue Mountain was!

Seeing this, King Yue Mountain’s brows furrowed slightly.

This claw of the other party clearly intended to crush him together with the surrounding space!

"Do not underestimate me!"

As a cultivator on the Cangmin Celestial List, King Yue Mountain naturally had his own pride.

Even if he had already had a tenth of his strength cut away by the forbiddance array, he still refused to suffer such humiliation!

His hands formed formulas, and majestic Earth Attribute Spiritual Power instantly surged out from within, condensing behind him into a colossal Dharma Idol over a thousand zhang tall!

The moment that Dharma Idol formed, it threw a punch straight at the incoming cyan dragon claw!

Seeing this, Lu Benshui’s scale-covered face revealed a strange smile!

The next instant!

Fist and claw collided!

The deafening explosion they imagined did not appear!

Lu Benshui’s dragon claw was as if grabbing tofu; it effortlessly crushed the Dharma Idol’s fist of King Yue Mountain, then rampaged onward, tearing apart the Dharma Idol’s arm and body into fragments as well!

"That is... the Dragon Species’ innate Divine Power, ’Lawbreaker’!?"

To the side, Tian Qi, master of Cangkong Mountain, saw this and his expression instantly grew grave.

The Dragon Species mostly shared a rather distinct trait—their flesh bodies were incomparably formidable.

Thus, many Dragon Species often disliked cultivating complicated techniques, and simply relied on instinct to fight their enemies.

And the innate Divine Power ’Lawbreaker’ was an existence against the heavens when placed upon them.

Immortal Dao cultivators facing a Dragon Species that had grasped the ’Lawbreaker’ Divine Power were far more despairing than when facing a Body Cultivator of the same Realm.

Just like King Yue Mountain now—his strongest offensive Dharma Idol, when facing the ’Lawbreaker’ Divine Power, was no different from something made of paper.

"Fellow Daoist Sikong, Fellow Daoist Tian!"

"And all of you, do you truly intend to become nourishment for this Secret Realm!?"

Realizing he could not win, King Yue Mountain could no longer care about face. While rousing his Spiritual Power to struggle free of the cyan dragon claw’s lock, he shouted loudly to those beside him!

"Once that old thing frees his hands, we will all die here!"

Seeing everyone still hesitate, King Yue Mountain shouted again!

Around them, the crowd looked at Xu Xiu and Feng Jingyang, who had already charged toward the people of the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect, then looked at the pressing Lu Benshui, and a resolute light flickered in their eyes!

"Everyone, we can’t wait any longer!"

"Strike together!"

"If we don’t want to become nourishment for that old thing’s Dao Source Secret Realm, we must escape as quickly as possible!"

"Right, kill these two Dragon Species and break this Sealing Array!"

The more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs quickly reached a consensus and all chose to act.

Seeing this, Lu Benshui’s expression suddenly grew grim.

These Nascent Soul True Monarchs before him had indeed had their strength suppressed by the forbiddance array, but they were still Nascent Soul True Monarchs after all.

He and the Black Dragon would have to respond with great caution.

Otherwise, if these people managed to injure those of the Shen Family, it would be a great trouble for Xu Xiu.

"Fellow Daoist Sikong, Fellow Daoist Tian, let us join forces against this man before us; the remaining Fellow Daoists will hold off that Black Dragon."
