Chapter 867 - 810: Stirring Up the Game After All

Di Liuxin’s expression froze, somewhat unnatural.

Whether it succeeds or not seems difficult to define.

Or rather, they only succeeded halfway.

When the Golden Cicada was first created, it was infused with the power to restrain the cultivators of the Yama Hall.

The initial plan was to use it to counter the hidden hands of the Yama Hall, but midway, the Celestial Dao Sect discovered that this restraining power was not ideal in the Golden Cicada.

Or rather, it didn’t meet expectations.

As seen earlier, the Golden Cicada could only restrain Wu Tang’s Dharma Aspect and couldn’t restrain other areas, while another restraining cultivation technique could never merge with this power.

Therefore, while the Golden Cicada restrained the Dharma Aspect, it wasn’t very strong itself. It could deal with slightly inferior Divine Dao Realm experts, but without Wu Tang being severely injured in advance, he could actually capture the Golden Cicada without relying on the Dharma Aspect.

In this way, the role of the Golden Cicada was greatly diminished, even reduced to its initial purpose.

This was also what Wujiu wanted to know. He watched the array continuously descend, already from afar against the high platform, his face iron blue.

Below the high platform, as the light faded, it gradually revealed a gigantic golden six-winged cicada, with its chirps resonating continuously.

"He really isn’t human!"

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but exclaim. No wonder it always felt Yi Xian had been strange since he changed, it turned out there was such a thing hidden inside his body.

Or it should be called a Dharma Aspect.

Unlike other Dharma Aspects, this Golden Cicada Dharma Aspect was nearly in a solid state; at first glance, it was almost indistinguishable from a living being.

Perhaps this thing could indeed be nurtured into a living creature by the Celestial Dao Sect!

Wujiu saw this, his eyes full of shock beyond compare. Every scene before him unmistakably indicated that the Celestial Dao Sect had indeed succeeded.

"From the very beginning, your goal was the array, right? Even setting things in motion thousands of years ago?"

This was quite terrifying, equivalent to being in the Celestial Dao Sect’s setup from the start.

"Why?"

Why, clearly having the ability to stop them from the start, still let them complete the array setup?

"Because we need your array to operate for a while."

Di Liuxin spoke calmly, but the mocking expression on his face never stopped.

This meant that the Yama Hall, seemingly in endless glory from the start, had always been within the Celestial Dao Sect’s plan.

Playing fools.

In the old way of saying, that’s basically how it was described.

Things seemed to be coming to an end by now.

When the array descended to less than a hundred meters from the high platform, the Golden Cicada suddenly leaped, its six pairs of wings stirring up torrents of air as its gigantic body soared high, landing directly above the array.

Interestingly, the array, which should have been invisible, felt solid under the Golden Cicada, as the enormous body crouched atop it, its huge mouthparts viciously plunging into the center of the array!

Boom!

A loud noise reverberated!

The array involuntarily began trembling, rumbling like muffled thunder, echoing ceaselessly under the firmament.

"Devour!"

Wujiu’s face was already filled with horror, realizing this thing’s purpose was to devour their array!

"Courting death!"

He tried to make one last effort, stepping onto the Asura, charging down directly.

How could Di Liuxin allow him to act?

Now all he needed to do was hold Wujiu off, waiting for the high platform and the Golden Cicada to devour the Yama Hall’s array completely, and everything could be settled.

"In this game, you too should exit."

As Di Liuxin said this, the Dharma Aspect merged into one, intercepting Wujiu with a hundred-meter Dharma Aspect, and the two clashed once again.

"Eventually, I have to act!"

With a sigh, Han Yu lamented, now the situation’s tone had truly been set.

If he didn’t act, the Yama Hall might truly have to exit sadly.

He looked up at the Dharma Aspect and Golden Cicada overhead, his complexion exceedingly complex, especially at that one array.

Once devouring countless souls of the Central Continent, bringing such great casualties to it.

Unexpectedly, one day he’d have to stomach his disgust to protect it.

"Life is impermanent, utterly stomach-churning."

With this sigh, Han Yu made his resolution.

With a maneuver of stealth, he slowly revealed himself under Yuan Rong’s feet.

Di Liuxin was not a fool; the decay of the high platform’s power could absolutely grab his attention first, necessitating his dealing with Yuan Rong.

Yuan Rong was in shock over everything happening before his eyes when suddenly feeling something, he abruptly turned his head towards below, a figure so unexpectedly appeared in his view.

Even how the other came over was unknown to him; he wanted to observe well, only to find not a hint of spiritual power fluctuation from the other.

Yet, the aura of sharpness on the opponent was undeniably present.

At once, he realized who the other was!

Among those with such traits, there was one on the Yama Hall’s must-kill list, Han Yu!

Yuan Rong was first thinking Han Yu had come to pick off the stragglers and kill him, but was stunned by the other’s next words.

Han Yu glanced at him with disgust, sighed helplessly, and spoke, "Today I’m with you guys. I’m here to disrupt."

Disrupt?

Usually, when Han Yu appeared, it was mostly with the Celestial Dao Sect.

Now he actually said he came to disrupt the Celestial Dao Sect’s game.

Initially, Yuan Rong didn’t believe it, but Han Yu’s words continued.

"In a moment, I’ll sabotage the high platform. When you regain your freedom, can you hold off Di Liuxin for me?"

Han Yu had never dared to hope this could be done without anyone knowing. Facing the unknown change, it was better to cooperate briefly with the other side.

Enduring the disgust this time, and if the opportunity availed itself next time, he’d still strike to kill as needed.

Astonished, Yuan Rong was bewildered, understanding every word the other said but feeling it’s altogether strange.

Firstly, the fact that Han Yu could sabotage the high platform was simply incredible.

Even he couldn’t accomplish such a thing.

Next, was the idea of the other wanting to collaborate?

Does this mean Han Yu isn’t with the Celestial Dao Sect?

Then, which side could this dark horse belong to?

Surely not theirs?

Yuan Rong immediately dismissed this thought, since he was indeed one of the top five halls, and if Han Yu were theirs, he would know, the top five halls would know.

Besides, Han Yu had always, whether intentionally or unintentionally, been against them from start to finish.

How full would the Yama Hall have to be to cultivate such a being to trouble themselves?

No matter what Yuan Rong was thinking, Han Yu already delved back into the ground. Beneath the high platform’s base, Han Yu’s face turned serious, taking a deep breath.

A key in his hand appeared, instantly transforming into the shape of a strange blade, silently plunging into the altar’s base.

Boom!

The high platform seemed to suffer some kind of trauma, suddenly shaking uncontrollably.

Di Liuxin, who was entangling with Wujiu, evidently noticed the situation there, couldn’t help but glance over, and his aura immediately sank into the earth.

From this, Han Yu’s trail was entirely revealed.

"It’s him?"

Evidently, Han Yu’s survival took Di Liuxin by surprise, stopping him from acting.

But very quickly, it turned into iron blue.

Because he could feel the power of the high platform continuously dissipating.

How could it be?

How could he have the ability to sabotage the high platform, something even Yuan Rong couldn’t accomplish?

His immediate response was he couldn’t allow the other to continue.

Just as he was about to charge downward, the nemesis Wujiu instantly grasped the situation, bursting into laughter.

Now the circumstances had changed; he didn’t allow him to descend.

"I knew it; how could they not focus on such an important location."

Han Yu sighed, relying on the abilities from his own aura; nothing above could hide from him.

Fortunately, he never intended to do this silently from the start, otherwise he’d likely court his own disaster.

Yuan Rong, with a peculiar expression, gazed at the intact empty land below the high platform as if he’d seen a ghost.

He never thought Han Yu could affect the high platform; he could even feel the power binding him was fading...
