I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 152 - 132: The Power of the Tier Three Array
Yu Daoist put down the teacup, a cold smile curled up at the corners of his mouth:
"What’s wrong with you two? Could it be you’re wondering why I haven’t fallen for your trap?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spat out several pitch-black worms.
The worms fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound, emitting white smoke. They were precisely the "gu insects" Zhou and Wang had hidden in the tea. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Zhou Guanglu and Wang Juhui’s faces changed dramatically, unable to keep up the pretense any longer.
"Now that you’ve seen through it, don’t blame us for being rude!"
Zhou Guanglu shouted in a low voice, summoning a golden ring, which expanded rapidly in the air, emitting sharp golden light aimed to lock onto Yu Daoist.
Wang Juhui then summoned a heavy black seal, which carried immense power as it came smashing down toward Yu Daoist’s head.
The two cooperated seamlessly, one locking and one striking, clearly well-prepared.
"Hmph, petty tricks!"
Yu Daoist snorted coldly, his figure transforming into a bloody shadow, disappearing instantly from the spot.
Zhou and Wang’s attacks hit empty air, the golden ring and black seal collided with a muffled boom.
Before they had time to react, Yu Daoist’s figure appeared behind them.
The aura around him suddenly surged, the pressure of Foundation Establishment Perfection sweeping out like a tide.
The blood-colored banner in his hand moved without wind, numerous twisted human faces on the banner let out tragic wails, and streams of blood-colored figures flew out, pouncing towards Zhou and Wang.
"Foundation Establishment Perfection!"
Zhou Guanglu and Wang Juhui’s faces turned ashen, eyes filled with despair.
They never expected that this seemingly gentle scholar was actually a Foundation Establishment Perfection Demon Cultivator!
The blood-colored figures instantly enveloped the two, tragic screams echoed through the mountains and forests.
In just a moment, the two silhouettes were completely consumed by the blood-colored figures, leaving only two withered corpses.
"Return!"
Yu Daoist shouted in a low voice, numerous blood-colored figures retreated back into the banner.
His complexion became rosy, satisfaction flashing in his eyes — after devouring the essence blood and divine souls of two Foundation Establishment cultivators, his strength had further increased.
Just then, he suddenly raised his head, looking towards Celestial Capital Peak.
The Spiritual Qi tide that had gathered over Celestial Capital Peak dissipated like a punctured balloon, and the Spiritual Qi of the world returned to calm.
Clearly, Tingyu Daoist’s Core Formation attempt had failed!
"Heaven-sent opportunity!"
Yu Daoist’s eyes flashed with ecstasy, no longer bothering to conceal himself, he transformed into a streak of blood light, rushing towards Celestial Capital Peak at the fastest speed.
The blood-colored banner in his hand shook violently, countless blood-colored figures flew out from the banner, swarming towards the Mountain Protection Array of Celestial Capital Peak like locusts.
"Swish! Swish!"
Blood-colored figures landed on the array light, gnawing at the array’s spirit light like ravenous wolves.
The array light flickered intensely, quickly being gnawed into a blood-colored passage.
"Indeed, an empty shell!"
Yu Daoist sneered, striding through the passage towards the cave where the source of the Spiritual Qi lay.
However, when he passed through two layers of array light, the scene before him suddenly changed.
The cave that had been right in front of him vanished, the mountain path beneath his feet turned into an endless expanse of water, with a bright full moon hanging in the sky, its moonlight casting ripples on the water’s surface.
"How is this possible? This is... the Tier Three Water Moon Illusion Array!"
Yu Daoist’s face changed dramatically, a bad premonition surging in his heart.
He had seen records of Tier Three illusion arrays in ancient texts, such arrays could create indistinguishable illusions, trapping those within forever if they couldn’t see through it.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, he focused all his power on activating the Blood God Banner.
Countless blood-colored figures flew out from the banner, obscuring the sky and gnawing frantically at the surrounding illusion realm.
The water surface stirred by the blood-colored figures surged with massive ripples, and the moonlight’s glow dimmed.
"Break for me!"
Yu Daoist roared, his mana continuously pouring into the Blood God Banner.
The attack of the blood-colored figures became more fierce, cracks began to appear on the water’s surface, and the moon wobbled.
Just when he thought he was about to break through the illusion, the scene before him suddenly reverted — the water remained calm, the moon still bright, as if the previous attack had been futile.
"Impossible! This can’t be happening!"
Yu Daoist’s face showed madness, he stared deathly at the illusion before him:
"Just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could they set up a genuine Tier Three Water Moon Array?!"
Unbeknownst to him, high above the array where he couldn’t see, Chen Sheng stood with his arms folded, looking indifferently at him, as if watching a clown.
With the power of the Tier Three Array, Chen Sheng’s Divine Sense had already enveloped the entire perimeter of Celestial Capital Peak.
Besides Yu Daoist, several other Loose Cultivators, and even Qi Cultivators hoping to take advantage of his "Core Formation failure," were trapped in different illusion realms at this moment.
"A bunch of foolhardy individuals."
Chen Sheng shook his head, a cyan Main Array Banner appearing in his hand.
With a gentle shake, under the water, countless strands of Water Spirit Qi coalesced into menacing Water Flood Dragons, pouncing on the trapped Loose Cultivators.
"Swish! Swish!"
The screams followed one after another, those cultivators hoping to fish in troubled waters were instantly torn into a bloody mess by the Water Flood Dragons, completely obliterated by the power of the array.
Having dealt with the riffraff on the outskirts, Chen Sheng’s gaze returned to Yu Daoist:
"The remnants of Blood Refining Hall, let’s see if you can surprise me."
He shook the Main Array Banner again, the full moon in the sky suddenly descended, transforming into a massive moonlight phantom, exuding an eerie and cold aura.
Wherever the moonlight phantom passed, the blood-colored figures Yu Daoist released froze instantly, then shattered into ice crystals and dissipated into the air.
The suffocating pressure descended, causing Yu Daoist’s legs to give way, and he fell to the ground with a "thud."
His face was as pale as paper, the mana within him boiling like hot water, threatening to scatter at any moment.
"No! I can’t die like this!"
Yu Daoist’s eyes flashed with madness, suddenly spitting out a large mouthful of essence blood, which fell upon the Blood God Banner, causing it to erupt with blinding blood-colored light.
"Blood God Devours Heaven!"
He roared, trying to perform a Forbidden Technique.
But just then, the calm water surface suddenly raised a gigantic wave, a massive Water Flood Dragon burst out from the water, swallowing the Blood God Banner in one bite.
Then it submerged back into the water, disappearing without a trace.
With the Blood God Banner taken, Yu Daoist’s last hope was dashed.
He slumped on the ground, eyes filled with despair.
The next moment, the massive moonlight phantom fell into Yu Daoist’s eyes.
His eyes instantly became hollow, like a marionette, he began to stammer out his innermost secrets:
"I... I am under the command of Venerable Soul Manipulator from Blood Refining Hall... ordered to collect essence blood of cultivators in Thousand Peaks Mountain Range... refine Blood Spirits..."
Before he could reveal all his secrets.
A blood-colored light suddenly flashed in his head, then with a "boom", his head exploded, and his Divine Soul was completely obliterated.
This was a restriction planted in Blood Refining Hall cultivators. Once their identity was exposed, it would self-detonate, preventing any secrets from leaking.
Chen Sheng looked at the dissipating corpse of Yu Daoist, nodding slightly:
"Blood Refining Hall’s restrictions are indeed ruthless."
"Venerable Soul Manipulator should be a Fake Pill Cultivator, truly a tough opponent that refuses to die!"
He waved his hand, and the Water Moon Array gradually dispersed, restoring Celestial Capital Peak to its previous state.
Chen Sheng turned, transforming into a streak of cyan light, returning to the cave. He needed to quickly adjust his state to prepare for the next Core Formation attempt.
With the Evil Pill as a backup, he intended to achieve perfection in both Body Refining and Qi Cultivation this life, leaving no regrets.
...
Outside West River Immortal City, in a secluded hill.
An elderly man with a slightly plump figure emitted the mana fluctuations of a Fake Pill Cultivator; sensing the Blood Jade’s shattering, he snorted coldly:
"Useless fool!"
"But the news Yu Daoist sent, is it true or false?"
"Is that junior Tingyu truly a Body Cultivator at the Sixth Layer Perfection?"
Venerable Soul Manipulator’s eyes reflected deep thoughts, pondering on the refining of his Magical Treasure, and ultimately deciding to pay a visit.
