Chapter 160: Dao Heart Damage! Merge! Heavenly Wrath!

Chapter 160: Dao Heart Damage! Merge! Heavenly Wrath!

Upon sensing Su Changqing's calm gaze, a sense of fear emerged in Xiao Fan's eyes.

The Su Changqing before him was clearly only at the Divine Body Realm, yet he felt a deep sense of powerlessness from the depths of his heart.

It wasn't a sense of oppression from strength, but rather a blow from the disparity in their innate talents.

Looking at Su Changqing, who stood upon the Golden Dragon of the Killing Array, bearing the ancient Dao diagram, Xiao Fan understood.

As long as Su Changqing remained alive, he would never have a chance to surpass him.

No matter how high his cultivation might reach in the future, the shadow cast by Su Changqing today would forever linger in his Dao Heart.

"How dare you!"

At that moment, outside the valley, Fang Lin's voice echoed with a rage that could shake the heavens.

The prince of the Xiao Clan, his grandson, had his limbs brutally crushed right before his eyes, leaving him helpless. When they first arrived at the Wu Family, he, along with the Xiao Clan and Fang Family, confidently assured that there would be no issues, and they would return with great success.

But now, not only had they lost the Heaven-Shielding Formation, but they also hadn't comprehended much of the Emperor Killing Formation.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan's limbs were severely injured, and even if he could recover, he would undoubtedly suffer from lingering health issues.

Such an outcome left Fang Lin wondering how he could face returning home. Thinking about returning to the Eastern Region, he couldn't help but feel the astonishment of the Fang Family and the scolding from the Xiao Clan, and his anger surged.

"Wu De! We came across regions for friendly exchanges and mutual progress!"

"But you went so far as to cripple my grandson's limbs! The Wu Family must give an explanation for this!"

Fang Lin glared at Wu De, his eyes filled with rage.

The members of the Fang Family standing nearby also looked at him with anger, their faces showing resentment.

"Hey, don't go around making baseless accusations, Brother Fang."

Wu De crossed his arms and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "I did say before that we should each focus on our own cultivation and not cause trouble."

"It was your suggestion, wasn't it? Let the younger generation handle their own affairs."

"How come now that I agreed to Brother Fang's suggestion, it's become my fault?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Wu Family couldn't help but smirk.

What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?

Hey, this is it!

The Fang Family's high-handedness had backfired, and they ended up slapping themselves in the face, which made the Wu Family members feel incredibly satisfied.

"You..."

Fang Lin's face alternated between paleness and redness, but he was speechless, unable to refute even a little.

He had thought that Xiao Fan would definitely win, which was why he had acted so confidently. But who could have known...

Fang Lin glanced at Xiao Fan lying in a pool of blood, his face darkening.

He understood very well that this wasn't his fault, nor was it Xiao Fan's.

It was Su Changqing's insight... It was too terrifying.

Facing such a monstrous talent, let alone Xiao Fan, even if he, Fang Lin, were to personally step in, he would likely be crushed as well.

"Open the formation!"

Fang Lin took a deep look at Su Changqing and then strode towards the valley.

Wu De chuckled and waved his hand lightly, and the formation within the valley immediately opened.

Fang Lin carefully lifted Xiao Fan, stopping the bleeding from his wounds, and then fed him a precious pill.

After a simple treatment, Fang Lin carried Xiao Fan away from the valley.

"Uncle Wu."

Inside the valley, after Xiao Fan's departure, Su Changqing pointed at the Golden Dragon beneath his feet and hesitantly asked,

"The match is over. Can I continue my comprehension for a while longer?"

Su Changqing didn't plan to completely comprehend this Killing Array but wanted to silently record it first and then study it slowly after returning.

It had been almost two months since he left the Little Immortal Sect.

The Heavenly Demon Pool was about to open, and he didn't have much time to waste here.

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing Su Changqing's question, Wu De didn't hesitate to wave his hand and laugh, "Nephew Chang Qing, feel free to comprehend. Comprehend as long as you wish."

Hearing this, Su Changqing smiled and bowed respectfully, then sat cross-legged again.

"Grandfather, wait a moment before leaving."

Xiao Fan, with a pale face, looked at Su Changqing in the valley, "I want to see for myself just how big the gap is between us."

Fang Lin, who was about to leave, paused and looked at Xiao Fan with a dark expression in his eyes.

He understood very well that after this match, Xiao Fan's Dao Heart had been damaged...

...

Inside the valley, without Xiao Fan's interference, Su Changqing immersed himself fully in the Golden Dragon Killing Array before him.

This time, instead of choosing to comprehend, he opted to memorize by rote, committing to memory the array patterns on each dragon scale and the combinations of various nodes.

The complexity of this formation far surpassed that of the Sky-Shielding Great Array, with intricate and varied array patterns that could easily make one's head spin.

If it were anyone else, even with rote memorization, it would take at least three to four months.

But let's not forget Su Changqing, who could read hundreds of ancient books in a single day, and whose specialty was precisely this method of memorization!

However, after a mere five days, Su Changqing stood up, his eyes bright as stars.

Wu De, who had been quietly waiting, was taken aback and asked, "Nephew Changqing, is something wrong?"

"Hmm? Nothing's wrong."

Su Changqing was startled, then waved his hand and smiled, "Uncle Wu, you can disperse this formation now."

"I've memorized it all. I'll take my time to comprehend it later when I have the chance."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Even though they had witnessed Su Changqing's extraordinary comprehension before, they still found it hard to accept when he did it again.

After all, this was the Emperor Killing Formation!

In just five days, he had memorized it completely?

Xiao Fan let out a bitter smile, clearly realizing the immense gap between himself and Su Changqing.

Even with the aid of a Supreme Treasure from Buddhism, he had initially estimated that it would take at least three months.

But Su Changqing did it in five days!

In just five short days, without any assistance, he had committed it all to memory.

This gap was enough to make one despair.

"Grandfather," Xiao Fan said, closing his eyes tightly, his voice trembling. "Let's go."

Fang Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and after one last glance at Su Changqing, he led the Fang family away.

But he had already made up his mind; no matter what, he had to get his hands on the complete Sky-Shielding Formation from Su Changqing!

...

At this point, no one was paying attention to the Fang family anymore.

The elders of the Wu family were excitedly rubbing their hands, eager to be the first to comprehend the Sky-Shielding Great Array, but they seemed hesitant to speak up.

Su Changqing smiled at their eagerness and said, "Please wait a moment, elders. I'll be right back."

As his words fell, his gaze turned to the ancient array diagram behind him.

Due to Xiao Fan's interruption, his original plan to take the final step in condensing the Seal Heaven Dao Seal had been disrupted.

Now, the first of the Heavenly Medicine Nine Mystic Needles could finally condense the Dao Seal!

"I wonder what wonders the Lifebound Dao Seal of the Heavenly Medicine Inheritance holds," Su Changqing mused with anticipation in his eyes.

Since beginning his cultivation, he had increasingly felt the extraordinariness of the Heavenly Medicine Inheritance, as it was the only cultivation technique he found truly challenging.

Even the Open Heaven Divine Body taught by Teacher Wu was quickly mastered by him, but not the Heavenly Medicine Nine Mystic Needles.

After more than two years of comprehension, he had barely managed to condense the first Dao Seal, which made him anticipate it greatly.

Su Changqing focused his mind and energy, gazing at the ancient array diagram before him. With his fingertips forming intricate gestures, he took a sip of air and shouted, "Merge!"

Hiss!

A vast silver radiance suddenly enveloped the entire Heavens.

Nine Mystic Needles, formed from countless array patterns, violently spun in the void, and a massive vortex appeared in the sky.

Within the vortex, the nine Mystic Needles slowly merged into one.

And in that instant of fusion, a towering silver radiance soared into the depths of the clouds.

The next moment—

Boom!

The cloudless sky, once bathed in bright sunlight, suddenly darkened.

Thick, heavy clouds swiftly emerged, covering the sky like overlapping mountain ranges, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Within those dense clouds, enormous, twisted thunder serpents writhed, unleashing a devastating aura that could destroy the heavens and earth!

Su Changqing's face paled, and a life-and-death crisis that made his scalp tingle suddenly arose from the depths of his being.

The intensity of the crisis was such that his hair stood on end, and he felt as if he might die and dissipate in the next instant.

Outside the valley, Xuan Qingzi, who had maintained a calm expression, suddenly turned pale.

He looked up at the catastrophic Celestial Tribulation that could destroy the heavens and earth and muttered incredulously,

"Heavenly Wrath!"
