Chapter 839: Nine Chapters Bone Destruction, the Fall of Heavenly Pillar Mountain
Chapter 839: Nine Chapters Bone Destruction, the Fall of Heavenly Pillar Mountain
A powerful Demon Emperor, comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, had fallen at the foot of Heavenly Pillar Mountain without any resistance.
Just as the three Lu brothers were about to take a step forward, they were shocked and stopped in their tracks.
Within the Heavenly Capital Sect, many disciples lay scattered on the ground due to the self-detonation of the Fiery Giant, their lives hanging in the balance.
Those who remained conscious couldn't help but cheer.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
On top of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the four True Monarchs also sensed everything and couldn't help but show their delight.
But in the next moment, their faces changed dramatically.
"Don't let the demoness escape!"
Inside the Bagua array, Jinxiu Immortal, who was already shrouded in a hazy mist, seemed to sense the changes outside and began to desperately break through the array, disregarding the consequences.
Her graceful figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, as if she could break free from her prison at any moment.
This scene naturally caught the attention of Luo Chen and his two companions.
"The White-Robed Demon Cultivator is skilled in transformation and escape, possesses Yin attributes, and has that faint trace of aura. This demon must be the one who gave me a heart-pounding feeling in Tyrant Blade Domain."
"With a sudden burst of power, the three of us combined with the grand array of the Heavenly Capital Sect to vanquish it."
"Now that the most threatening one is dealt with, we can act more calmly."
Jinxiu Immortal flicked her golden feather, her innate spirit weapon, and it flew towards the nearest Thousand Threads Demon Emperor, engaging in a fierce battle that darkened the sky and shook the earth.
The Fenghua Fairy didn't hesitate, her eyes flashing with determination as she charged towards Huang Fengke.
The two figures transformed into a blue and a yellow whirlwind, chasing and intertwining with each other, expanding the battlefield beyond the gates of the Heavenly Capital Sect and sweeping across a vast area.
In the end, only the three Lu brothers remained!
They were the strongest among the remaining enemies, each seemingly below the mid-stage of the fourth level, but all proficient in array formations.
Especially with their similar appearances, they must know the art of fighting together, making them even more formidable than ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Luo Chen decided to take on this enemy himself!
Even if Jinxiu Immortal broke free from her predicament and joined forces with Luo Chen and his companions, along with the four from the Heavenly Capital Sect, they would still have a chance in battle.
Luo Chen's eyes flashed with golden light, and he stood tall with his sleeves fluttering, blocking the three demons.
"Luo Chen of the Alchemy Sect, please give me some guidance!"
Hearing Luo Chen introduce himself, the three brothers' expressions changed almost simultaneously, all slightly surprised.
But it was clear that they were not afraid.
"Lu Changsheng!"
"Lu Changqing!"
"Lu Chang'an!"
"Please give me some guidance!"
Before they could finish speaking, Lu Chang'an waved his black banner, and a whirlwind swept through, spreading a dense demonic energy.
Seeing this, Luo Chen didn't hesitate and retreated.
With a boom, Luo Chen appeared a hundred feet away.
Then, stepping on the Moon Step, he dodged the black demonic energy and rushed towards the three demons.
His movements were so strange that they were hard to fathom.
However, Lu Changqing slapped his hand on the bronze mirror and shouted, "Slow! Slow! Slow!"
Three consecutive shouts of 'slow' echoed, and the mirror shot out three clear beams of light.
Whoosh! The first beam was easily dodged by Luo Chen.
Whoosh! The second beam brushed past him as he barely had time to react.
Whoosh! The third beam forced Luo Chen to turn and look at the moon, causing him to suddenly stop, barely avoiding it, but his robe's corner was stained with a trace of green light.
It was this very trace that caused Luo Chen's movements to suddenly become sluggish.
Whoosh...
A large amount of black energy surrounded him from all directions, trapping Luo Chen.
The eldest brother, Lu Changsheng, sat cross-legged on the ground, his hand resting on the bronze mirror. He pressed down hard.
Click, click, click...
The mirror began to spin, emitting an unpleasant mechanical sound.
"As expected of a powerful cultivator with the name 'Demon Slayer,' it's so difficult to suppress."
Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, bit his lip, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood infused with pure spiritual energy onto the mirror.
As if lubricated, the mirror's spinning speed increased, and the unpleasant sound faded.
As the mirror spun rapidly, Lu Changsheng rose into the air from his seated position on the ground.
Looking down from above, Lu Changsheng glared at Luo Chen and shouted.
"Friend, please enter the array!"
With a press of his hands, a terrifying pressure emerged within a hundred li radius, even forcing the ground to sink several zhang.
Under this terrifying pressure, Luo Chen was forced to enter the grand array.
"Using array formations during combat, even with the combined strength of three people, shows the prowess of array masters."
Luo Chen stood tall amidst the dense black fog, his expression peculiar.
He gazed at the three figures that appeared and disappeared intermittently in the air and asked aloud,
"What is the name of this array?"
The voices of the three Lu brothers drifted over.
"So that you can die with clarity!"
"This array is our brothers' original creation, named Nine Chapters Bone Annihilation."
"Those who enter the array will have their flesh and blood destroyed, their souls eroded, and their bones annihilated!"
The three voices came from different directions, indicating their constantly changing positions.
And with these three as the core array core, constantly changing, it was difficult to capture, and it was clearly a "living array".
As soon as the voice fell, a mass of black mist rolled in.
Luo Chen didn't hesitate and struck out with a palm.
The Great Qingyang Handprint collided with the black mist, annihilating each other.
A fire phoenix screeched and flew out, entangled with the newly formed black mist, annihilating it into nothingness.
"Roar!"
A thunderous dragon's roar sounded, and outside the grand array, a flame dragon descended upon the world.
As if in response, a black dragon made of black mist drilled out from within the array, and it fearlessly charged forward.
Under the watchful eyes of countless low-level disciples of the Heavenly Capital Sect, two giant dragons roared and collided with each other, their powerful spirit energy causing a mountain to be crushed into powder.
Lu Changsheng was overseeing the grand array, his heart trembling and his eyelids twitching.
"Nine Chapters Bone Annihilation, with three as the limit. In the blink of an eye, three chapters have passed, and the Dan Zong's reputation is truly well-deserved. In such a short time, our grand array has been passively activated to this extent."
Lu Changqing transmitted his divine sense, "Big brother, we need to increase our spirit energy, otherwise, the operation of the array will encounter problems."
Lu Changsheng shouted, "You must not act rashly, leave it to me and our third brother!"
"Yes!"
Inside the array.
Luo Chen retracted his hand gesture, his face revealing a look of solemnity.
Suppressed internally, the external attacks were ineffective.
This array formation wasn't as easy to break as he had imagined! Especially with three living Demon Emperors as its core, constantly moving, even if he pushed his Illusion-Breaking Eye to its limits, he wouldn't be able to find the array core and its feet in a short time.
Perhaps he shouldn't have entered the array?
At that time, with Luo Chen's ability, as long as he was willing to pay a price, he could always forcefully create some distance.
But if he didn't enter the array, these three Demon Emperors probably wouldn't pay him any attention and would instead attack the Heavenly Capital Sect, reducing the pressure on Jinxiu Immortal.
And once Jinxiu Immortal escaped her predicament, the consequences would only become more severe.
"Fine, since they use an array to suppress me, I'll respond with an array as well!"
Luo Chen let out a cold laugh and stomped his foot heavily.
"Sword Array, activate!"
In the next moment, countless sword energies emerged from the ground!
With a terrifying cutting intent, they swept across the eight directions.
Countless black mists rushed forward, but often before the mists could take shape, they were shredded by the sword energies.
This scene caused the faces of the three Deer brothers to change dramatically.
"When did he set up this sword array?"
"It should have been before he dealt with Bai Lan. If he can suddenly kill, there must be a backup plan!"
"Release three more chapters, second brother, it's up to you to break this sword array!"
The three of them shared a mutual understanding, and in a short exchange, they understood what each needed to do.
A black flag fluttered, shaking the heavens and earth, and violent black energy surged out, transforming into numerous small deer with prominent horns and antlers, charging into the sword array.
The black deer and the sword energies clashed, annihilating each other.
Luo Chen watched the familiar forms of the small deer and, recalling the name of this array, realized something.
"So the original bodies of these three demons are Nine Zhang Deer!"
He wasn't unfamiliar with this type of demon.
In the past, there was a group of low-level Nine Zhang Deer blocking the path between the Great River City and the Heavenly Immortal City in the Nine Iterating Mountains, forcing them to take a detour.
These types of demons prefer to live in groups, relying on their collective strength to dominate an area.
Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare provoke them.
But this type of demon also had its weaknesses. The ferocity of their group living masked the weakness of their individual strength, and their upper limit was extremely low.
It was rare to hear of a Nine Zhang Deer breaking through their bloodline restrictions, advancing to the fourth stage, and transforming into a cultivator.
But who would have thought that this time, they would encounter not one, but three Demon Emperor Nine Zhang Deer!
"After three thousand years of accumulation, the million great mountains of the Eastern Wilderness have indeed nurtured an extraordinary existence!"
Luo Chen muttered, his amber eyes sweeping the surroundings.
His Great Five Elements Sword Array, under the impact of the black mist, was on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, a faint azure light shot out from outside the array.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five beams of light, each faster than the last, shot out in succession.
The five sword pellets were forced to expose themselves within the grand array.
The sword energies that were cutting through the eight directions also gradually dissipated at this moment.
Looking up, in the sky, a Daoist with a gourd hairpin and a colorful floral robe held a bronze mirror, remotely controlling the Five Elements Sword Pellets.
Seeing this, Luo Chen felt a sense of regret and immediately retrieved the Five Elements Sword Pellets.
"If it weren't for the difference in the grades of the five sword pellets, how could they be so easily exposed in a collision?"
"But!"
"Enough!"
Luo Chen's face turned stern, and his spirit energy erupted, causing the Withering Prosperity Divine Seal within his body to quietly unlock.
A terrifying surge of spirit energy filled the surroundings of the grand array, and even the external spiritual energy of the heavens and earth responded, rushing towards him.
The Forest of Death!
With the power of his domain, he transformed into a red light and charged towards the Daoist with the gourd hairpin in the sky.
"How is this possible? How is he unaffected by the grand array's suppression of the heavens' response?"
"It's the sword array from before. It temporarily countered the Nine Chapters Bone Annihilation Array's isolation power, so he was able to gather his domain and is no longer suppressed by our array."
"Old Second, you've exposed yourself!"
With this question and answer, the eldest of the Deer brothers, Lu Changsheng, was so anxious that he couldn't help but curse out loud.
Lu Changqing, the second eldest, naturally understood his current predicament.
To break the Great Five Elements Sword Array, he personally activated the Bronze Mirror, disrupting the flow of the Five Elements, but in doing so, he also exposed his true position.
Seeing Luo Chen rushing directly towards him, it was clear that he intended to break the tripod's balance.
If he succeeded, the Nine Chapters Bone Annihilation Array would also be broken.
"Please help me!"
Lu Changqing cried for help, and as he gritted his teeth, he transformed into a green light and began to frantically move within the array.
The other two brothers dared not slack, especially the third eldest, whose spiritual power was already faltering, causing him to spit out essence blood as he forcibly activated the array.
"Seventh Chapter, Bone Annihilation Qi!"
A deep and boundless black mist erupted from the flag, rushing towards Luo Chen.
The stench was unbearable.
Luo Chen held a poison-neutralizing pill in his mouth, not dodging or evading, and charged straight into the mist.
The Mysterious Dust Armor moved on its own, forming an inner and outer layer.
The armor's aura spread, constantly eroding the mist.
Amidst the hissing sounds, the Mysterious Dust Armor's true form also began to show signs of wear and tear.
But Luo Chen stubbornly endured the seventh chapter, his pale golden eyes fixed on a certain location.
"Since you've exposed yourself, don't even think about hiding from me again!"
He grinned sinisterly and reached out a claw towards that location.
A green light shot out, but the Probing Cloud Divine Claw was delayed and missed its target.
However, Lu Changqing's figure was exposed once more.
Luo Chen charged forward again.
A mysterious and eerie wind blew towards him, eroding his soul and consciousness, causing him to fall into a trance.
Was this the eighth chapter?
Luo Chen realized what was happening, but he didn't have a good solution. He took a deep breath and faced the wind.
His powerful spiritual foundation was fully activated, and the Opening the Veil Technique continuously unfolded in his sea of consciousness, keeping him lucid.
His speed slowed noticeably.
However, his determination to advance remained unwavering!
The three array masters revealed looks of horror, "How is this possible? The Erosion Soul Wind obtained by the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian from the Soul Cliff cannot erode this person's soul. Just how profound is his spiritual foundation?"
"This won't do, we can't let him break free!"
"Ninth Chapter, come out!"
The three of them decided without hesitation.
A sound of a flagpole breaking echoed in the air, and a large amount of black mist burst out from the shattered flag, flying into the bronze mirror and the compass.
With the black mist's replenishment, the two treasures began to rumble and expand, forming a giant object like a grindstone.
The two enormous grindstones, one on the left and one on the right, rotated in different directions, moving towards Luo Chen.
This was the final chapter of the Nine Chapters Bone Annihilation Array, named Yin-Yang Grindstone by the three brothers. It could not only erode a cultivator's powerful spiritual power but also their fragile physical bodies.
Even in the midst of a million great mountains, this technique had achieved remarkable results, once erasing a powerful fourth-stage Demon Emperor.
Huff...
After enduring the Erosion Soul Wind, Luo Chen suddenly regained his senses.
Then, he saw two enormous grindstones slowly approaching him.
Although they seemed far away, with ample space to maneuver, when he attempted to use his spatial techniques like Sky Splitting and Moon Step, he found the space constricted, making it difficult to move.
"It's a Spatial Restriction!"
"This array contains numerous basic restrictions, including Spatial Restrictions, to prevent enemies from escaping."
With his array knowledge, Luo Chen instantly understood everything.
Not only that, but with his combat awareness, he soon realized that if he tried to escape, he wouldn't be able to get out before the Yin-Yang Grindstone closed in.
"If I can't escape, then I'll destroy it!"
Luo Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he pointed a finger at his chest.
The boundless source energy, nurtured for over a hundred years, instantly surged through his body.
His body expanded like a demon beast revealing its true form, growing larger and larger.
A nine-zhang-tall giant appeared before everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
He didn't dodge or evade, raising his palm, as large as a hill, and slammed it towards one of the enormous grindstones.
This scene was truly terrifying.
But the most shocking was another deafening sound.
Boom!
When no one expected it, countless dazzling lights erupted from the Bagua Diagram.
The powerful force unleashed upon the nearby Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
With a single strike, the core of the Heavenly Capital Sect, the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, was severed in half.
The towering mountain seemed to have been broken by someone, crashing towards the ground.
Jinxiu Immortal, reappearing in the world!
Not only that, a white light shot out from the collapsing mountain, flying towards the battlefield where Golden Feather was located.
"Be careful, there's a cunning evil being! It swallowed the Nascent Souls of my three junior brothers!"
Tian Quanzi's mournful and piercing cry echoed through the heavens and earth.
