Chapter 475: Divine-level Array, Impregnable

Hm?

Hearing Fang Xi’s words, Elder Yan froze on the spot.

‘Never be able to leave in this lifetime?’

‘What does he mean?’

In his mind, no matter how many Arrays there were here, there would eventually come a day when they were all broken.

At that point, they would naturally be able to walk out.

Bai Di retorted, “Elder Fang, you must be joking with Elder Yan, right? But I have to say, your joke isn’t funny at all.”

“I am not joking!”

Fang Xi said with a grave expression.

What?

‘He’s not joking?’

The expression on Bai Di’s face stiffened.

Fang Xi asked in return, “Elder Yan, you are a Saint-level Powerhouse. Haven’t you noticed that many of the Arrays here are identical?”

“Well… that does seem to be the case.”

Elder Yan nodded.

For example, take the Fire Snake Array they first encountered. They had run into more than ten of them in a row afterward, all of which he had shattered with a single punch.

Fang Xi sighed. “In truth, the Fire Snake Arrays you destroyed might have all been the very same Array.”

“What? The same Array?”

Elder Yan’s eyes widened in shock.

Fang Xi said, “Even if it wasn’t the exact same one, there are at most three Fire Snake Arrays here. Yet you’ve broken more than ten.”

“That doesn’t make any sense!”

Bai Di objected, “Every time Elder Yan breaks an Array, we walk straight forward. Logically, we should have left the area of the initial Fire Snake Array long ago.”

An Array only covers a specific area.

In ten days, he and Elder Yan had traveled for what felt like thousands of miles. They should have been far outside the specific area covered by the Fire Snake Array.

Fang Xi countered, “But have you entered Qingyang City?”

“This…”

Bai Di was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief, “Elder Fang, are you saying that for the past ten days, we’ve just been walking in circles around the outskirts of Qingyang City?”

Fang Xi nodded heavily.

Elder Yan’s face turned grim. “Fellow Daoist Fang, do you know what’s going on?”

“Nie Xiang, why don’t you explain!”

Fang Xi beckoned.

“Yes!”

Nie Xiang walked up to Elder Yan and Bai Di.

Elder Yan said in surprise, “You’re the Pupil Technique genius, Nie Xiang, the one with the Green Ghost Eye that can see through all illusions and falsehoods?”

“That is I!”

Nie Xiang nodded. “Based on my observations over many days, not only are there deadly offensive Arrays here, but there are also many Illusion Arrays.”

“Illusion Arrays?”

Elder Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

Nie Xiang nodded. “Yes. It’s because of these Illusion Arrays that you mistakenly believe you’ve traveled thousands of miles. In reality, you’ve just been walking in circles within a certain area, or perhaps not even moving from the spot at all.”

“Can’t we just break these Illusion Arrays?”

Elder Yan pressed.

Nie Xiang shook his head. “The Illusion Arrays here are countless and interlinked. It’s impossible to see through them, let alone break them!”

“Not even with your Green Ghost Eye?”

Elder Yan’s brows furrowed deeply.

Nie Xiang sighed. “My Green Ghost Eye has some effect, but there are simply too many Illusion Arrays. We don’t even know how many we’ve fallen into at the same time.”

“Sometimes, we might break one, but we can’t break the second, or the third… At the same time, we have to withstand attacks from other Arrays, so we’re naturally powerless.”

“There’s one more thing, and it’s crucial!”

“What is it?”

Nie Xiang took out the food and water he had fought for and placed it before Elder Yan. “May I ask, where did this food and water come from?”

At these words, Elder Yan was completely stunned.

A crazy idea began to form in his mind.

Nie Xiang sighed. “It’s just as you’ve guessed. The people of Qingyang City are afraid we’ll starve to death, so they drop in some food and water for us every so often. In other words… we’re being kept like livestock.”

BOOM!

It felt as if Elder Yan’s mind had just exploded.

‘Keeping powerhouses from the Sacred Lands like livestock?’

‘The people of Qingyang City… aren’t they a little too bold?’

Nie Xiang continued, “The people responsible for dropping the food and water also continuously repair the Arrays we destroy. That’s why the Arrays here can never be fully broken.”

“How dare they!”

Bai Di roared in anger.

Elder Yan frowned. “Aren’t they afraid of offending the major Sacred Lands and drawing their combined wrath?”

“Attack? With so many Arrays here, do you think you could even get in?”

“Did anyone get out to send a message?”

Nie Xiang rolled his eyes.

They had come to Qingyang City in search of a Saint-level Spiritual Vein. The people back at their Sacred Lands had no idea. Even if they wanted to avenge them, they wouldn’t know who to look for.

For all they knew, their Sacred Lands already considered them dead.

Bai Di said resentfully, “You might not know, but our Canglan Sacred Land knows. We came here on the Saint Master’s orders.”

“The Canglan Saint Master knows about this place?”

Nie Xiang and the others said in surprise.

Bai Di said coldly, “That’s right. If we’re trapped here and don’t return, our Saint Master will come here to kill his way in personally.”

“Does that mean we’re saved?”

“Hahaha, so heaven has not forsaken us!”

“The Canglan Saint Master will surely gather all the Array Masters in the Cangxuan Realm, break all the Arrays here, and slaughter his way into Qingyang City.”

Everyone inside the Arrays was overjoyed.

Bai Di said viciously, “Once our Saint Master breaks these Arrays, I, the Saint Heir, will personally flatten Qingyang City and avenge the humiliation you elders have suffered during this time.”

“Thank you, Saint Child!”

Fang Xi and the others were so excited they couldn’t stop smiling, and they all cupped their fists toward Bai Di.

But just then…

A cold voice suddenly rang in their ears. “You said you were going to have your Saint Master come break the Arrays, did you?”

Hm?

The expressions on their faces froze simultaneously.

In all these days, this was the first time they had heard someone from outside the Arrays speak to them.

‘Could it be the one who set up the Arrays?’

Bai Di said coldly, “If you know what’s good for you, release us immediately. Otherwise, when our Saint Master breaks these Arrays, Qingyang City will run with rivers of blood.”

“Break my ass!”

Su Mo was so exasperated by these guys he actually laughed.

These guys were already fish in a barrel, yet they still dared to bark like mad dogs. Their arrogance was off the charts.

“Elder Su, let me go down and slaughter them.”

Huang Xu said, his killing intent surging.

Su Mo waved his hand. “Don’t kill them just yet. They might be useful later. For now, let’s upgrade all the Arrays here.”

“Upgrade the Arrays?”

Huang Xu’s eyes lit up, feeling that he could once again learn a great deal about Arrays from Su Mo.

The two of them got straight to work.

RUMBLE!

After Su Mo finished modifying all the Arrays, he summoned the Golden Dragon Earth Vein and infused all the Arrays with Divine Power.

In an instant, all the Arrays here transformed into Divine-level Arrays.

“Divine-level Arrays…”

Huang Xu was dumbfounded.

Su Mo shook his head. “They aren’t true Divine-level Arrays, just Pseudo-God Level ones infused with Divine Power.”

To set up a Divine-level Array, one must have a Divine-level Array Map.

At the very least, a Saint-level Array Map is needed.

The current Arrays were all evolved from Tier Seven and Eight. After being infused with Divine Power, the highest they could reach was the Pseudo-God Level.

However, that was more than enough.

Over three thousand Pseudo-God Level Arrays… they were as impenetrable as a fortress of steel.

Forget the Saint Masters of the various Sacred Lands; even if those reclusive Divine Level old monsters showed up, it would be more than enough to make them suffer.

Su Mo said coldly, “You were just talking about breaking the Arrays, weren’t you? Now, why don’t you try and break one for me.”
