Chapter 2173: Chapter 2118–2119: Blood Sacrifice to Heaven Severing, Nine Palaces Takes Action (Part 2)
A gust of cold wind blew from the air, as everyone gazed at the head of Lu Tong in the opponent’s hand, all the cultivators fell silent. Just moments ago, a vibrant and powerful Taoist Academy strong figure had his lifetime of cultivation turn to dust and his form and soul utterly obliterated.
“Lu Tong is dead, is there anyone else who wishes to die?” Daoist Yi Zhen raised Lu Tong’s head high, speaking coldly.
With the defeat of the first battle, the entire scene suddenly fell into silence, utterly quiet.
Before Fire God City, the atmosphere of killing intent pervaded the entire battlefield. Although holding the head of a fellow Taoist, his expression was calm. Slaying a Taoist Academy strong figure would be considered an honor for others, but for Daoist Yi Zhen, it’s nothing much.
“Who dares to come for a battle?”
Despite anything, the victory of the first battle brought the momentum to its peak, drawing in endless primordial qi. Daoist Yi Zhen lightly flicked the horsetail whisk, piercing through the void, striking fear.
“Have you noticed, the array momentum has weakened, go ahead Nine Palaces and break the Heavenly Extinction Array!” Fourteen Instructor, the strongest in the field, spoke with keen insight. Huge spiritual consciousness enveloped the air, the power of the Eight Trigrams Divine Array just trembled for a moment, seeming unchanged, but Fourteen Saints understood it had an impact.
Of course, the key factor is the suppression of the Eight Trigrams Array Diagram by the Two Diagrams Map, otherwise sending many cultivators into it would result in death, having no effect but only increasing the power of the absolute array, providing energy.
Although mourning the fall of his disciple, such a powerful figure values the objective more, having witnessed many disciples fall over ten thousand years wouldn’t affect him much.
Moreover, now that the Gods Sealing List has launched, even if Lu Tong has fallen, he hasn’t entered reincarnation but his divine soul entered the Gods Sealing List, relatively better compared to others.
“As you instruct, sir.”
Nine Palace Taoist, wearing a golden crown, his eyes emitted divine glint, his long robe flowed, looking extremely poised, stepping forward, lotus patterns condensed under his feet, step by step forming a lotus, in such a realm.
“Taoist Friend, persistence it is. The Five Emperors return, the Saint will emerge, Dynasty replacement inherently involves little with us, why lay such evil array, senselessly depriving yourself of vitality! Now quickly withdraw the evil array, while there’s a slim chance, hope Taoist Friend won’t miss this opportunity.” Nine Palace Taoist’s voice was calmly harmonious, filled with endless charm, like a devout Taoist attempting to persuade the wicked to lay down their weapons.
Once Nine Palace Taoist acted, many realized the opponent not only cultivated the way of Array Formation but also practiced some Buddhism School’s command divine ability, having the effect of Buddhism School’s conversion.
“Nine Palace Taoist, don’t try to hoodwink me, coming with the Eight Trigrams Divine Array this time, certainly it’s the arrival of you all, utterly helpless, wanting me to withdraw the great formation, pure delusion.” Daoist Yi Zhen wasn’t moved at all.
“In that case, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Nine Palace Taoist pointed indicating, divine symbols materialized and fell, protecting him, gathering air currents to form a canopy, blocking the aggression ahead.
“Suppress the Five Elements.” Daoist Yi Zhen acted without hesitation, aggressively, aware of the difference in cultivation between him and Nine Palace Taoist, even though both are top-tier supreme overlords, the power disparity is enormous, insurmountable, if not for having the great formation’s protection, he wouldn’t dare make a direct move.
Three thousand dust-brush filaments descended, like myriad divine swords, piercing through everything, shattering the void into fragments, thrusting towards Nine Palace Taoist. If truly struck on him, even if Nine Palace Taoist has divine abilities for protection, his physical form might be destroyed.
“Nine Palace Heaven Suppressing,” Nine Palace Taoist remained unmoved, his divine eyes deep, hands intertwined, softly uttering Daoist Truth. His Nine Palace Array had reached the Transformation Realm, not only useful for confining and suppressing but also for defense.
Nine Palace Array Patterns dispersed, guarding Nine Palace Taoist’s body, extending a finger towards the sky, blocking Daoist Yi Zhen’s deadly blow.
For Nine Palace Taoist, his way of array is different from others and also different from Dayan Sect’s strong figures; others borrow arrays to fight.
His array is more like his own path, using array formation as divine abilities to attack, so he specializes in Nine Palace Dao.
“What a great Nine Palace Taoist, truly formidable.”
Daoist Yi Zhen’s expression changed, his face showing a hint of redness, immediately retracting the horsetail whisk in his hand, turning to step into the great formation.
That one strike just made Daoist Yi Zhen thoroughly understand the real difference in power between him and Nine Palace Taoist, without the power of the great formation, he even cannot withstand a single strike from the opponent.
Top-tier supreme overlords touching the threshold of the Immortal Path have their strikes containing Power of Laws of the Immortal Path, neutralizing all divine abilities, moreover the opponent used the power of the Nine Palace Array, having higher accomplishments in this array than his own.
This doesn’t mean Nine Palace Taoist is superior in array formation overall to him; when it really comes to foundation and wide exploration, Nine Palace Cultivator is absolutely not superior to him, but in designing and mastering the Nine Palace Dao, he’s stronger than him.
Between the two, neither is superior, one walks the most fundamental traditional path, solid in foundation, another walks a path of deviation, perhaps less involved in some aspects, yet possessing unique advantages in certain areas.
Currently, outside the array formation, relying on the Nine Palace Array, Nine Palaces True Man’s array formation attainments have an advantage.
Seeing the opponent enter the array, Nine Palace Taoist remained unmoved, stepping forward, a golden light path appeared under his feet, directly entering the Heavenly Extinction Array.
Inside the Heavenly Extinction Array, an independent Cave Heaven world formed, even condensing a phantom of a small world, lightning flashes, Daoist Yi Zhen stood above the Eight Tiagram Platform, shaking the Array Banner in his hand, strands of thunder power descended from the air, distributed according to Heaven and Earth Three Talents, terrifyingly.
“With mere Thunder Skill, can’t break my defense.” Nine Palace Taoist revealed a faint smile, patches of Nine Palace Array Patterns emerged, blocking the descending thunder power from above.
“The Heavenly Extinction Array was passed down by the Ancestral Master, condensed with Innate Qi, capable of sweeping through everything, even when a top-tier supreme overlord descends, they’ll lament, Nine Palace Taoist, you shouldn’t have been too arrogant, directly entering the Heavenly Extinction Array.” Daoist Yi Zhen’s expression cold, knowing the formidable power of the Heavenly Extinction Array, even having once used the Heavenly Extinction Array to slay a top-tier supreme overlord.
“It’s too early to declare, the Heavenly Extinction Array is indeed unmatched in its realm, but it cannot harm me.” Nine Palace Taoist clearly understood, if the Heavenly Extinction Array were intact, even upon entering it he’d lament, surviving it but highly wounded.
However, Lu Tong’s demise blood-sacrificed this Heavenly Extinction Array, thus revealing a slight flaw, if Daoist Yi Zhen possessed enough cultivation maybe still could mend it, but presently the opponent evidently blinded, overly trusting the power of his great formation.
This is also why he dared to enter the great formation confidently; otherwise, even if Mr. Fourteen requested it, he wouldn’t be arrogant enough to easily enter the array.
Inside the Heavenly Extinction Array, Daoist Yi Zhen shook the long banner in his hand, driving the whole formation’s power, gathering a strand of fierce airflow, ancient, rustic, mighty, sweeping towards Nine Palace Taoist.
“Nine Palaces Support Heaven!” Nine Palace Taoist’s face changed slightly, intertwining hands, condensing strands of Immortal Path Laws into Nine Palace Array Patterns, guarding in front of himself.
The terrifying airflow surged against the Nine Palace Array Patterns, continuously impacting.
