Chapter 970 - 303: Curtain Falls (Part 5)

Above the battlefield.

The Black Dragon was initially worried that the old man from Purple Sun Mountain who escaped the battle circle would ruin the entire plan.

At this moment, catching a glimpse of Shen Wenxing and another pushing back a Nascent Soul True Monarch alongside a peculiar skeleton, the Black Dragon felt a surge of joy and immediately launched into a fierce attack against the opposing Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

The power of the Forbidden Grand Array increased, making these foreign Nascent Soul True Monarchs even weaker!

Elsewhere, in Lu Benshui’s battlefield, an unfortunate foreign Nascent Soul True Monarch had already been injured by him, shrieking as he plummeted toward the magma-filled ground below.

In the void outside the Forbidden Grand Array, Shen Chongzhen watched Shen Wenxing and Xu Zhan battling the old man from Purple Sun Mountain below, his lips moved as he earnestly wished for Chu Xiangyu to assist in slaying that old man from Purple Sun Mountain.

"I can’t break through this Forbidden Grand Array."

Chu Xiangyu seemed to sense Shen Chongzhen’s thoughts and solemnly said, "Great Prosperity True Monarch’s mind is meticulous, his myriad plots are truly admirable."

"With him protecting you, the Shen Family people will likely come to no harm."

Watching the endless sea water rushing in, Chu Xiangyu sighed, "Let’s go, the Yangnao Land no longer exists."

"It is time for us to return."

"After all is settled, once the Shen Family regains stability, we can discuss the matter of you and Xuan’Er becoming Dao companions."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongzhen reluctantly gazed at the now ruined Yunshui City within the Forbidden Grand Array.

Gazing at his father standing proudly with a sword in the void, he turned with repeated glances back and stepped towards the Ice God Boat.

Once he and Zhou Xuan were aboard the Ice God Boat, Chu Xiangyu also cast a final glance at the top of the Forbidden Grand Array, where Xu Xiu and Feng Jingyang were battling both the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect, before gracefully landing at the bow of the Ice God Boat.

The Ice God Boat transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the distance!

...

"Green-faced King, after all these years, your power has hardly progressed compared to back then."

Xu Xiu lightly hooked his finger, and with an invisible thread, dismembered a transformed Underworld creature into countless pieces, sneering as he glanced at the weakened Green-faced King.

The femine face of the Green-faced King was full of anger, with fists clenched tightly, exclaiming, "Old bastard, I didn’t expect your power not only to have returned to the peak but also to have mastered the Forbidden Formation."

Xu Xiu chuckled upon hearing this.

"The timing and the power..."

"This time, killing you all is just a small interest I collect."

"One day, whether it’s the Ancient Central State Domain or the Netherworld Domain, I will personally pay a visit."

"Rest in peace; it won’t be too long..."

After saying this, an ethereal and transcendent aura suddenly surged around Xu Xiu’s body!

This aura steamed upward in the void, gradually forming transparent threads!

Numerous threads crisscrossed throughout the expanse of the void.

"This is the Thread-pulling Immortal Skill; dying under such a skill could be considered your honor."

At this moment, Xu Xiu appeared like an Immortal descending, looking down upon the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect with a face of sympathy.

His left hand rested behind his back, while his right hand lightly plucked at the void in front of him.

Threads, nearly invisible, interweaved slowly, harvesting the lives of these Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

The power of the Forbidden Formation became increasingly potent, and these foreign Nascent Soul True Monarchs, now restricted by the formation, had their prowess reduced to about the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

With such strength, they stood no chance against Xu Xiu, who wielded "Immortal Skills."

Having seized control of the situation, Xu Xiu developed a cat-and-mouse mentality; though he could easily slay them all at once, he insisted on taking them down individually.

Watching their faces filled with anger, despair, and helplessness, the resentment Xu Xiu had harbored for thousands of years was finally unleashed.

He recalled how several major forces had humiliated him in such a manner before, forcing several of the Yangnao Seven Sons to die tragically before his eyes.

That old man from the Tribulation Fire Sect was right.

He did use the Yangnao Seven Sons, but those were two separate matters: usage and relationships.

Moreover, among the Yangnao Seven Sons back then, some were truly admired by him.

Like Luo Tianxing, Master Dragon Taming, Cyan Bamboo Sword Immortal Qu Ziguai...

Pft!

While simultaneously mourning old friends and toying with the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect people before him, Xu Xiu suddenly felt a severe pain in his abdomen!

He snapped back to reality, looking down in bewilderment at his Dantian, where a bloody hand emerged, holding his Nascent Soul radiating endless light!

Xu Xiu was stunned, turning his head with difficulty, only to see a familiar face.

"Jingyang, you..."

Pft!

Before he could finish his words, Feng Jingyang’s hand abruptly withdrew, clutching his Nascent Soul, with a mocking expression, "Great Prosperity True Monarch, surprised aren’t you."

Feng Jingyang’s voice had changed, his aura transformed.

Even the flesh and bones on his face twisted bizarrely, turning into a visage that initially left Xu Xiu bewildered but soon full of astonishment.

"Louni Bald Monk!?"

"How could it be you!?"

Xu Xiu still couldn’t comprehend how Venerable Louni, whom he had imprisoned in Dragon-slaying Valley to attain the Dao Source of the entire Celestial Dragon Temple Secret Realm, transformed into Feng Jingyang’s form and emerged.

What puzzled him even more was that not only had the other deceived his perception, but even the Forbidden Grand Array hadn’t detected him!

Given the Forbidden Grand Array was arranged using the remnants of Dao Source power from Yangnao Land, Venerable Louni wasn’t a native cultivator of Yangnao Land; it should’ve been impossible to elude the array.

No matter how perfect his disguise was, if he had been affected by the Forbidden Grand Array, Xu Xiu would inevitably have noticed and been on guard.
