Chapter 1337 – Contest of Spiritual Arrays
Large contingents followed behind Liu Wuxie. After all, Liu Wuxie’s feat of taking first place in all three events placed immense pressure on the other forces. At this point, their only option was to eliminate a threat like him.
“Brother Liu, there’s a large crowd following us,” Vanya said, walking shoulder to shoulder with Liu Wuxie. After what they had been through with the nether clan, something subtle had changed in their relationship.
“You need not bother with them. Let’s head to the second level’s entrance as quickly as we can,” Liu Wuxie said. He had set his sights on the treasure at the very top, and it no longer mattered if he could secure first place in this event.
Securing first place in three events was enough to make the Heavenly Dragon Sect agree to his terms of setting up an interstellar teleportation array. The fact that Zhuge Ming led the expedition and the sect master’s intervention from the shadows had proven that his talent had caught the attention of the sect’s upper echelons.
He invoked Ghost Eye and captured everything within billions of miles. It could no longer be considered Ghost Eye as it contained a hint of the Ghost Pupil’s power. As for the Ghost Pupil, he would only use it in battle.
“The Divine Sun-Shooting Tower is constructed with countless spiritual arrays, and the entrance will keep shifting. We’re going west,” Liu Wuxie said, steering the group to the west.
“Junior Brother Liu, but the entrance is clearly to the east,” someone protested.
Even from afar, they could see the entrance that resembled a crystal wall, but it wouldn’t be easy to enter it.
“Just do as I say,” Liu Wuxie answered. He needed unquestioning obedience from the group, and there was no need for him to explain anything to them.
A’Lei immediately pivoted to the west, leaving the large group behind them confused. They had no idea what Liu Wuxie was planning.
“Why is Liu Wuxie heading west?” everyone asked curiously as they came to a stop.
“Ignore him,” someone suggested.
Those without a feud with Liu Wuxie turned to the east. As for Liu Wuxie, no one paid any attention to him. Only a small portion continued to follow behind him, believing that Liu Wuxie had to have discovered something.
“Senior Brother Mu, where do we go?” asked a disciple of the Grand Unity Sect.
The Grand Unity Sect had been divided into multiple teams, and one of them followed behind Liu Wuxie. The leader of this team was a prodigy called Mu Qingshan. He couldn’t be compared to Mo Hong in terms of his alchemy talent, but his martial talent wasn’t inferior. He had led the squad this time to kill Liu Wuxie.
“Follow up,” Mu Qingshan said, waving his hand as the team closed in at once.
Aside from disciples of the Grand Unity Sect, there were members of the faceless clan, the abyssal race, and beastkins following behind. With how Liu Wuxie had secured first place in the three events, they had a feeling that they wouldn’t lose out if they followed him.
The farther they walked, the more off-route they drifted. The west was completely barren; there was no one here at all.
“Senior Brother Mu, should we make a move now?” asked the Grand Unity Sect disciples.
Liu Wuxie’s side had a little over three hundred disciples, but the Grand Unity Sect had three hundred people on their side, and they had brought a powerful artifact as well.
Mu Qingshan’s gaze locked onto Liu Wuxie. With a wave of his hand, the group of three hundred charged forward and instantly surrounded Liu Wuxie’s group. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and a battle could break out at any moment.
The Divine Sun-Shooting Tower had no treasures, and it was a competition in killing. Many forces would use this chance to weaken their rivals. In the past, humans rarely participated in the Divine Sun-Shooting Tower, which was unusually dominated by the abyssal race and the demon race.
However, this year was different, as a monstrous prodigy like Liu Wuxie had appeared.
“Liu Wuxie, you’re finished!”
Not all of the Grand Unity Sect’s three hundred troops belonged to it. Liu Wuxie even spotted experts from the Sky Cloud Star and the Tranquil Meteor Star among the group.
“You need this many people to kill us? Don’t you find it hilarious?” Liu Wuxie asked with a mocking smile.
The eyes of the one hundred disciples from the Heavenly Dragon Sect turned green with greed. These three hundred people were equivalent to thirty million astral stones, one hundred thousand for each of them.
The disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect all turned to look at Liu Wuxie, itching to make a move.
“Liu Wuxie, you’re still so stubborn even at the death’s gate. Do you really think that we’re going to rely on these many people to kill you?” Mu Qingshan sneered as the three hundred people swiftly spread out to form a spiritual array.
The spiritual array could be constructed instantly, but it couldn’t move, unlike Liu Wuxie’s Moon Tribulation Incineration Array, which was capable of shifting at will. The moment the spiritual array took shape, a powerful pressure descended from the sky.
An even more terrifying scene occurred as a colossal longsword hovered in the mid-air. It was an artifact no weaker than the Heavenly Primal Wheel.
The Grand Unity Sect had spared no expense to kill Liu Wuxie, as they took out another artifact without any hesitation.
“Brats of the Grand Unity Sect, come and die!” A’Lei roared. He immediately took his position in the spiritual array’s Qian position, and the Moon Tribulation Incineration Array took form instantly.
Meanwhile, A’Li took the Kun position. Qian represented Yang, and Kun represented Yin. Together, they formed a fusion of yin and yang.
Mu Qingshan squinted the moment the spiritual array was formed.
“Liu Wuxie, it’s futile even if you have a spiritual array. We have already sealed off the surroundings,” sneered a Grand Unity Sect disciple, and he got ready to attack. The fight had progressed into a contest of spiritual arrays.
Liu Wuxie said nothing as two array flags appeared in Vanya’s hands. As she formed a cross, the hundred disciples from the Heavenly Dragon Sect moved at once. They left behind afterimages, and no one knew where they would land next.
In Vanya’s eyes, the Grand Unity Sect’s spiritual array was pathetic, and it couldn’t even be compared to the Myriad-Phase Divine Buddha Array.
Seeing several weak points of their spiritual array punched through, many Grand Unity Sect disciples exclaimed, “How is this possible?! They found the flaws in our spiritual array instantly!”
It had all taken no more than half a breath; this was utterly unbelievable.
“Thunderclap Sword, now!” Mu Qingshan roared. He controlled the Thunderclap Sword to attack Liu Wuxie with an unstoppable momentum, tearing an opening on the Moon Tribulation Incineration Array.
Liu Wuxie merely stood in place as he allowed the longsword to fly in his direction.
“Close up!” Vanya ordered.
She rose to the sky and swung the array flags in her hands even faster. Liu Wuxie didn’t even have to act personally against this many people.
A’Lei and A’Li swiftly closed in and threw a punch together, unleashing a powerful shockwave. The two forces overlapped and combined with the power of a hundred Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples, transforming into a pinnacle strike.
With a loud rumble, the force swept through the heavens and headed straight toward the Thunderclap Sword. The collision produced a powerful impact that sent the Thunderclap Sword flying out.
This scene instantly caused fear to creep on the faces of every Grand Unity Sect disciple. The spiritual array under Vanya’s command was unbelievable, strong enough to rival cultivators at the pinnacle of the Void Realm.
The entire spiritual array was tight as well. No matter how the Grand Unity Sect disciples attacked, the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples would dissolve the oncoming attacks with ease.
After resolving the Thunderclap Sword’s suppression, the array flags in Vanya’s hands changed once more. The killings also began as the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples moved like starving wolves, performing bizarre footwork as they slipped into the Grand Unity Sect’s ranks. No one knew how they managed to accomplish it.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people around, as most cultivators had headed east.
“This is bad!” Mu Qingshan muttered as he took a step back.
He realized just how much danger they were in. The Thunderclap Sword would require at least two hundred disciples to control, but with their forces being suppressed by the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples, no one could come forward to control it.
A yell rang out among the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples. “Kill!”
They seized this opportunity to cut their foe down, instantly killing dozens of enemies. As for those who failed to kill, they charged in with an even more ferocious charge to kill.
“How could this happen? Why is our spiritual array so fragile?” the Grand Unity Sect disciples asked, sighing. They had spent the past three days practicing this spiritual array, but it couldn’t even last a moment before Liu Wuxie.
As the death toll increased, the number of people controlling the Thunderclap Sword declined, giving the Heavenly Dragon Sect more room to operate.
Mu Qingshan’s face turned dark, and he waved his hand to summon the Thunderclap Sword back to his hand. He alone couldn’t control the Thunderclap Sword.
“Retreat! Retreat!” Mu Qingshan roared as the Grand Unity Sect disciples fled in panic, scattering out in every direction.
“Kill them all,” Liu Wuxie ordered.
Receiving his order, Vanya waved the array flags down, summoning a powerful storm that swept across the battlefield with unstoppable momentum. The spiritual array could shift at will and even shrink to shield the hundred disciples in a tight defense. It could also expand to surround thousands of people, and this was the Moon Tribulation Incineration Array’s terror.
The hundred Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples swiftly took on a fan-shaped formation to surround everyone from the Grand Unity Sect.
The Grand Unity Sect disciples wailed, “How could this be?! How can they change their spiritual array as they wish?!”
They had never seen something like this, as movable spiritual arrays were so rare that there were only records of them in ancient texts. Those who could set them up had long since vanished.
It was no wonder the Heavenly Dragon Sect elders all had disbelief on their faces when Liu Wuxie mentioned movable spiritual arrays. After all, it had been lost for millions of years, and even experts at the Heaven Gaze Realm barely knew about them.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect surrounded the Grand Unity Sect, and another wave of slaughter began.
“Fight them to the death!” Mu Qingshan roared, determined to kill Liu Wuxie even if they had to suffer severe losses. After all, this was only the Divine Sun-Shooting Tower’s first level, and they had more traps planned ahead for Liu Wuxie.
The remaining two hundred experts from the Grand Unity Sect charged at the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples. However, Vanya changed her array flags yet again, commanding the hundred Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples to scatter, causing the Grand Unity Sect’s attacks to miss like striking cotton.
The Grand Unity Sect’s terror grew even further at this sight, and no words could capture their current feelings.
“Use the Thunderclap Sword to perish with them!” Mu Qingshan said and threw the Thunderclap Sword out. He planned to detonate the Thunderclap Sword and drag everyone down with him.
The Thunderclap Sword was comparable to the pinnacle of the Void Realm, and its detonation surely possessed unimaginable power.
Even Liu Wuxie wouldn’t be able to come out unscathed, and it would surely kill everyone from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Liu Wuxie naturally wouldn’t allow that to happen, so he turned to Vanya and nodded.
