With no other choice, Celestial Concealnt could only use Spear Aura to face the King Corpse.
Because he sensed that the magical power within this King Corpse was actually on par with his own—it was clearly at the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator Level.
If he were struck by a King Corpse of Nascent Soul Great Cultivator Level, the outco was all too clear.
Even if he wasn’t killed instantly, he would absolutely be gravely wounded.
By comparison, Lin Chang’sheng was only at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul—there was no way his power could match that level of force.
Celestial Concealnt thought that, relying on his Nascent Soul Great Cultivator body, he could definitely withstand that punch.
Seeing Celestial Concealnt dismiss his attack, Lin Chang’sheng’s lips curled into a cold sneer.
Boom—
Boom—
In the very next instant, two violent attacks clashed with a thunderous explosion that shook the heavens.
Celestial Concealnt t the King Corpse head-on. The King Corpse was no match for the might of the Spear Aura and was sent flying through the air.
Yet the King Corpse’s body was terrifyingly tough, suffering little actual harm.
On the other hand, when Lin Chang’sheng’s Fist Aura landed on Celestial Concealnt, it was an extraordinary blow. Celestial Concealnt was smashed straight into the distance, crashing a hundred yards away and carving a deep crater ten yards wide into the earth.
Seizing the advantage, Lin Chang’sheng raised his bow, not hesitating as nine Thunder Fla Poison Arrows burst forth, piercing toward the crater below.
Rumble—
The nine Thunder Fla Poison Arrows hamred into the pit in rapid succession, erupting in a deafening cacophony.
When the dust finally settled, a charred, blackened figure slowly erged from the crater, battered and utterly disheveled.
In this mont, the Celestial Concealnt Divine Master no longer possessed even a trace of arrogance—he had clearly been severely wounded by Lin Chang’sheng.
His clothes were in tatters, his flesh and blood a ss.
"How... How is this possible—"
The followers gathered around Celestial Concealnt Divine Master were utterly dumbfounded by what they had just witnessed.
A Nascent Soul Great Cultivator like Celestial Concealnt Divine Master wounded—by Lin Chang’sheng, a re Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator?
Celestial Secret Tower.
Celestial Secret Daoist’s heart lurched when he sensed this shift in montum.
This boy is only at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, yet he can fight a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator head-on—and wound him within three moves?
What kind of monster is this?
"Master, Celestial Concealnt’s losing to him—that’s good news for us, isn’t it?"
The Little Divine Master, seeing Celestial Concealnt routed like this, couldn’t help but smile.
If Celestial Concealnt lost—or even died—it could only benefit their Celestial Secret Sect.
After all, right now the Beimu Immortal Realm was dominated by the Celestial Concealnt faction.
Even the Beimu Immortal Emperor had to yield to him, and was thinking of handing the throne over to Celestial Concealnt’s grandson.
They now stood alone atop the world—it was no longer a tripartite balance of power as it once was.
"He can lose, but he can’t die. Otherwise, a great calamity will befall my Beimu Immortal Realm!"
There was a flicker of worry in Celestial Secret Daoist’s eyes.
From the start, he’d never held Lin Chang’sheng in high regard—after all, the boy was only at Middle Stage Nascent Soul. How could he possibly win against a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?
Knocking the edge off Celestial Concealnt’s arrogance would be enough.
But if Celestial Concealnt Divine Master fell, that would be a trendous loss to the Beimu Immortal Realm.
Worse—if Lin Chang’sheng sought to annihilate the Beimu Immortal Realm, perhaps no one would be able to stop him.
"It can’t be that serious, can it?"
The Little Divine Master’s heart trembled. Middle Stage Nascent Soul shattering a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?
This was truly unheard of!
...
Imperial City Center Square.
Brooding within the massive stone statue, Bi Xi seethed with fury when he sensed Celestial Concealnt’s aura growing feeble.
"Trash, absolute trash—after all the effort I put into cultivating you! You can’t even deal with a re Middle Stage Nascent Soul ant!"
Bi Xi bellowed. If not for his own body’s destruction, even with just one hand he could have crushed Lin Chang’sheng with ease.
But his body was gone, his primordial spirit weak—he had the will but not the ans.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding here, lying in wait for a chance at rebirth through possession.
"Use the Grand Array. Trap and kill this one!"
Bi Xi transmitted his voice to Celestial Concealnt—without enough power, he shouldn’t act recklessly. With the Grand Array, ensnaring and killing Lin Chang’sheng would be effortless.
...
Hearing Master Bi Xi’s voice in his mind, Celestial Concealnt Divine Master dared not delay. He imdiately slipped into the Cloud Concealnt Tower and activated the Turtle Shell Array taught to him by Bi Xi.
Later improved through the efforts of Cloud Concealnt, the array was now even more suited to set up in this Immortal Relic Land.
After all, the required materials were not easily found here in the Immortal Relic Land.
To set it up was all the more difficult.
Especially since the formation demanded powerful Immortal Crystals as its foundation.
But such crystals were nearly impossible to find in the Immortal Relic Land—so Celestial Concealnt had to substitute with a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to establish the so-called Celestial One Turtle Shell Array.
Buzz—
As he activated the Grand Array, a pillar of light streaked skyward from the top of Cloud Concealnt Tower, spreading out like a fishing net once it hit midair, cascading down in all directions.
Seeing things turn dire, Lin Chang’sheng imdiately deployed the Secret Technique of the Ends of the Earth in an attempt to escape the Grand Array’s coverage—yet he was still a step too slow.
Rumble—
The Grand Array crashed to the ground barely ten yards ahead of Lin Chang’sheng, enveloping him in its confines.
The massive array blanketed nearly a third of the Imperial City.
And Lin Chang’sheng was not the only one trapped within it.
Countless civilians and Imperial City Guards—and even many from Cloud Concealnt Tower—were all caught inside as well.
Trying to move, Lin Chang’sheng found his feet rooted to the spot, body as if bearing the weight of ten thousand catties on his back—unable to budge.
"Lin Chang’sheng, this is the Celestial One Turtle Shell Array, a gift from Master Bi Xi, fused with all my life’s insights. To perish beneath this array—consider it your honor!"
Celestial Concealnt’s lips curled in a smile. Once the array was activated, let alone Nascent Soul cultivators—even those at the Divinity Transformation stage would find it inescapable.
Only those who control the array plate could be spared, and even then—only within the plate’s circle of safety.
"Celestial Concealnt Master, why are we being trapped by this array too?"
"Yeah! Hurry and lift the restriction!"
"It feels like there are ten thousand mountains pressing down—can’t breathe!"
"Lord Cloud Concealnt, save us—"
...
Outside the Cloud Concealnt Tower, a group of Celestial Concealnt Divine Master’s attendants began frantically begging for help.
But Celestial Concealnt only regarded them with utter indifference.
"Those who accomplish great things must endure sacrifice. To die for Master Bi Xi—this is your highest honor!"
Celestial Concealnt scoffed. Once the array began, there was no way to shut it off. Only when all the Spirit Stones were exhausted would the formation collapse.
The array covered a third of the Imperial City—all the way to the Imperial Palace itself.
Even now, the Beimu Immortal Emperor could sense the overwhelming pressure.
"Celestial Concealnt Divine Master, are you trying to kill along with him?"
From several miles away, the voice of the Beimu Immortal Emperor echoed in outrage.
Has this Celestial Concealnt Divine Master gone completely mad?
"Your Majesty, this old subject ans no harm—he must be slain. If this one is not extinguished, my Beimu Immortal Race will never know peace. After the deed is done, I will beg your forgiveness!"
Celestial Concealnt responded, though he felt not a trace of guilt inside.
Because, in Celestial Concealnt’s mind, Master Bi Xi’s command outweighed everything.
He’d even sacrifice his own grandson to let Bi Xi possess him—what could he possibly not do?
