Chapter 334: Chapter 299: Extracting the Spirit Vein, the Meat Mountain Breaks the Array

’Perhaps when Venerable Red Fox gets here, he can have a huge battle with He Daozhen.’

Knowing Dragon Star’s Divine Sense techniques were extraordinary, Jiang Zuo wasted no more time.

He linked his Divine Sense to the Mysterious Stele.

Instantly, black chains shot out from the void of his Sea of Consciousness, emerging from the Mysterious Stele.

"Impossible! How can you control it?!"

Dragon Star was utterly shaken by the sight.

He still clung to a sliver of hope and tried desperately to dodge.

But once targeted by the black chains, he was like a man trapped in a mire, unable to move.

All his skills were rendered completely useless.

The black chains of the World Destruction Stele were just that terrifying!

In a single moment, Dragon Star was tightly bound by the black chains, completely immobilized.

And as Jiang Zuo deployed the black chains of the Mysterious Stele...

Red Fox Sect.

Venerable Red Fox was in secluded Cultivation.

Suddenly, his Divine Sense stirred, and the black Jade Stone appeared in his hand.

The Jade Stone emitted a faint glow.

Within the light was a force, pointing in a certain direction.

"That’s... the Divine Wood Sect!"

"It really is him!"

Venerable Red Fox’s gaze was like lightning, piercing the void and landing on the distant Divine Wood Sect.

He transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and tearing across the heavens like a meteor as he plummeted toward the Divine Wood Sect.

"Ten Thousand Miles Manifestation!"

"Is Master in some kind of hurry?"

In the Red Fox Sect, several of Venerable Red Fox’s disciples couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

They had rarely seen Venerable Red Fox in such a rush.

However, they had no right to interfere in the affairs of a Venerable.

After instructing the sect’s disciples to be on high alert, the Red Fox Sect quickly returned to normal.

Divine Wood Sect.

Jiang Zuo opened his eyes, and the red phenomenon around his body quietly vanished.

’The senior from the Upper Realm is awake! I must inform Elder Ge immediately!’

An old man guarding Jiang Zuo saw this and was inwardly delighted.

He was just about to send a message when Jiang Zuo, moving like a phantom, appeared before him in an instant and struck with his palm.

BANG!

The old man was knocked unconscious in an instant.

Leaving the man behind, Jiang Zuo moved, circling East Divine Mountain in a flash.

One by one, he planted Array Flags into the core nodes of the array.

’Isn’t that Gu Changqing? What’s he doing?’

Some disciples who saw Jiang Zuo’s figure couldn’t help but wonder.

They were completely baffled.

But before they could figure out what was happening, East Divine Mountain suddenly trembled.

"Rise!"

Jiang Zuo slowly floated into the air and plunged the final Array Flag into place.

Following the tremor on East Divine Mountain, beams of light from the array shot up into the sky from all directions.

Ge Fangrong was in the middle of handling some trivial matters. The moment the array activated, he snapped his head up, his gaze instantly locking onto Jiang Zuo, who was floating in the sky.

’Gu Changqing? Or the one from the Descent Realm? What is he doing?’

’Is this... a Spirit Vein extraction array?’

For a moment, Ge Fangrong couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

But he was no stranger to a Spirit Vein extraction array.

"Stop! Halt the array at once!"

Staring at the pillars of light from the array, Ge Fangrong roared furiously.

A high-grade Spirit Vein! This was the true foundation of the Divine Wood Sect!

He couldn’t imagine what would happen if the Spirit Vein was taken!

But Jiang Zuo had been meticulously planning this for years; he wasn’t about to listen to him.

With a cool glance at Ge Fangrong, Jiang Zuo waved the Array Flag in his hand even faster.

BOOM!...

East Divine Mountain shook more violently, but extracting a high-grade Spirit Vein was far more difficult than extracting a mid-grade one.

If this had been a mid-grade Spirit Vein, it would have already burst from the earth and fallen into Jiang Zuo’s hands by now.

But the high-grade Spirit Vein beneath East Divine Mountain was still resisting.

"Kill him!"

"Quick! Everyone, attack!"

A considerable number of Divine Wood Sect elders resided on East Divine Mountain.

Startled by the commotion, they all emerged from their cave abodes.

They were all stunned by the scene.

After coming to their senses, they roared one by one and charged toward Jiang Zuo in the sky.

’As expected, it’s not that simple. Flesh Awakening!’

Jiang Zuo thought.

BANG!

Beneath the ground, the Puppet Body that had been waiting quietly suddenly burst into motion.

Its Primordial Flesh and Blood entered a state of awakening, and the Puppet Body’s flesh violently swelled in an instant.

Before it could completely transform into a mountain of flesh, the Puppet Body, still in a semi-humanoid form, leaped into the sky.

Facing the Divine Wood Sect elders coming from all directions, fleshy tendrils erupted from the Puppet Body, lashing out wildly at them.

Then, before the eyes of the many Divine Wood Sect elders, the Puppet Body transformed into a massive mountain of flesh.

Endless flesh surged forth from the fleshy mountain, its body growing to a shockingly immense size.

"What is that thing?"

The charging Divine Wood Sect elders were all horrified by the sight.

They were worldly and experienced in the Cultivation Realm, but they had truly never seen anything so bizarre.

There were more than ten Divine Wood Sect elders, but there were hundreds of fleshy tendrils sweeping toward them.

Although they desperately wanted to get closer and stop Jiang Zuo, they had no choice but to deal with the fleshy tendrils first.

"What the hell is this thing? It’s unkillable!"

But as their attacks landed one after another on the fleshy tendrils, they became even more terrified.

After being struck, these fleshy tendrils regenerated at an astonishing speed.

The wounds would heal in the blink of an eye.

Even if they severed a tendril with a Spiritual Sword, it would either reattach itself or simply regrow.

And in that moment of delay, the Spirit Vein in the ground could no longer resist the power of the array.

BOOM!

A huge white ribbon of energy shot up from beneath East Divine Mountain.

The intensity of its light was more than ten times that of a mid-grade Spirit Vein!

The great white ribbon, like a swimming dragon, struggled unwillingly but ultimately landed in Jiang Zuo’s hands.

"No!"

"Thief! How dare you!"

All around East Divine Mountain, cries of grief and roars of anger rang out.

"In this world, celestial fortune belongs to those who are fated to have it."

"This Spirit Vein’s fate with your Divine Wood Sect has run its course."

"And I... am its next fated owner!"

Jiang Zuo chuckled softly.

With a flicker of movement, he shot down like a meteor, landing inside the mountain of flesh.

The mountain of flesh then crashed heavily back to the ground.

A tendril shot out from underground, taking advantage of the chaos to fling Jiang Zuo outside the bounds of East Divine Mountain.

Jiang Zuo had already changed into new clothes, applied the Breath Rune Technique, and used a Concealment Talisman.

Glancing back at the Puppet Body, still fighting, Jiang Zuo sped away without a second thought.

"Quick, activate the Sect Protection Array!"

Sensing Jiang Zuo was trying to escape, Ge Fangrong shouted urgently.

BOOM!

The massive Sect Protection Array enveloping the entire Divine Wood Sect was activated.

’Too bad. Ge Fangrong reacted a little too quickly.’

’I almost didn’t make it out.’

Jiang Zuo thought with some regret.

If he could have, he would have preferred to leave quietly.

A sixth-rank Sect Protection Array could withstand attacks from a great cultivator at the Manifestation realm from the outside.

From the inside, it could even trap a Venerable for a time.

"Sight!"

However, Jiang Zuo had his own way of dealing with it.

All arrays have their weak points.

Especially one like this, designed primarily for external defense. From within, it was bound to have points of weak defense.

Using the Sight Rune Technique, Jiang Zuo could tell where the sixth-rank array was weakest with a single glance.

"Found it!"

Jiang Zuo flickered into motion, arriving at the edge of the array.

With a stir of his Divine Sense, Jiang Zuo summoned the Vermilion Bird.

After Great Black had swallowed its Inner Core, the Vermilion Bird had been training in the Time Cultivation Tower ever since.

Now, after more than nine years, it had long since reformed its Inner Core.

Aimed at the array’s weak point, the Vermilion Bird’s Inner Core, wrapped in azure flames, struck the array’s membrane of light like a clap of thunder.

BANG!

The array’s membrane of light merely trembled for a moment before a hole was torn open.

With a flicker of movement, Jiang Zuo slipped through, taking the Vermilion Bird with him.

The array had the ability to repair itself, and in just an instant, it was restored to its original state.

With the Divine Wood Sect in chaos, no one noticed that such a flaw had appeared in the Sect Protection Array.

After escaping the Divine Wood Sect, Jiang Zuo moved stealthily along the ground.

Before he had gone far, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a red streak of light was descending upon the Divine Wood Sect.

"Venerable Red Fox? He really came!"

Jiang Zuo’s heart went cold.

’I can’t let his Divine Sense scan me. I have to draw his attention away!’

Facing a great cultivator of the Third Realm, Jiang Zuo didn’t dare to be careless.

If Venerable Red Fox discovered him, escaping wouldn’t be so easy.

Jiang Zuo’s Divine Sense stirred.

On East Divine Mountain, a massive, bloody maw suddenly appeared on the Puppet Body of flesh.

The mountain of flesh, like a giant stomach, took a sudden, massive breath.

BOOM!

A colossal pillar of blood-red light erupted from within the mountain of flesh, blasting toward the Divine Wood Sect’s Sect Protection Array in the sky.

Under the assault of the blood-red pillar of light, the Divine Wood Sect’s Sect Protection Array shattered with a deafening crash!
