Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 246 - 192: Destroying the Giant Whale Gang! The Might of the Grand Array! Sister Zhen’s Illusion?
"Don’t get ahead of yourself. Once I get out, I’ll wipe your Giant Whale Gang off the map!"
Lin Chang’sheng shouted sternly.
He had been willing to let things go—just get him to the Celestial Ghost Sect and he’d pay ten thousand spirit stones. Who would’ve thought they’d try to stab him in the back?
Once he’s out, he’ll make sure to bathe the Giant Whale Gang in blood.
If they’re going to be heartless, then don’t blame him for being ruthless.
"Get out? What a joke! This is a grand array laid by a Demon Dao Patriarch when he broke through Hao Zhix. Forget Golden Core Stage—any Nascent Soul expert stepping in will still fall! You’d better experience the true might of this array for yourself!"
As Ao Chengfeng finished his words, he said nothing more.
In his eyes, Lin Chang’sheng was just courting death, arrogant to the extreme.
Did he really think this grand array was so easy to break?
This array was nothing like it looked on the surface.
Lin Chang’sheng cut the chatter, starting to observe the array closely.
Having fused numerous arrays before, Lin Chang’sheng quickly noticed this one was far from simple—it was even a living array?
A living array meant both the array foundation and array plate were constantly shifting—thus, a living array.
That made it much harder to break.
To crack it, you had to first locate the array plate.
"Chang’sheng, Chang’sheng, save me—"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng searched for the array plate, a voice echoed out inside his mind.
"Sister Zhen?"
Lin Chang’sheng’s heart clenched. Surveying the area, he saw not far off in the sea, Sister Zhen was struggling desperately.
Countless sea demons surrounded her, threatening to devour her at any moment.
Lin Chang’sheng ignored the danger, charging forward at once to try and rescue Sister Zhen.
Splaaash—
But just as Lin Chang’sheng got close to the surface, a massive orca-like sea demon lunged at him, jaws wide open.
"Die!"
Lin Chang’sheng struck out with his palm, but the blow seemed to do nothing at all.
If he hadn’t dodged fast enough, he’d already be in the demon’s belly—dead.
"No. No way. How could Sister Zhen possibly be here?"
Lin Chang’sheng finally realized—this was probably just a phantom, meant to lure him into the water so the sea demons could tear him apart.
"Chang’sheng, save me, hurry—"
Out in the sea, Sister Zhen kept calling for help, her voice pulling at Lin Chang’sheng’s mind.
Making it impossible for him to fully focus and find a way to break the array.
"Chang’sheng, you’re really going to just watch your own sister die here in the sea? Have you forgotten everything I’ve done for you?"
Sister Zhen kept flailing in the ocean. Seeing Lin Chang’sheng hesitate, she kept pleading with him.
"Dream on! This is just an illusion!"
Lin Chang’sheng said with resolve. If he hadn’t caught himself in time, maybe he really would’ve fallen for it.
"Chang’sheng, what are you saying? Please, save me! Save me—"
Sister Zhen’s voice grew harsher, even to the point of being torn and maniacal.
But Lin Chang’sheng still ignored her. After half a stick of incense passed, her figure vanished from the water’s surface.
Lin Chang’sheng thought the ordeal was over.
But then Yu Wenjing appeared above the waves, calling out to him again and again.
This made Lin Chang’sheng’s heart ache unbearably.
Even though he knew deep down it was just more illusion.
But watching Sister Zhen and Yu Wenjing plead for help right in front of him, powerless to do anything about it—
Wasn’t that its own kind of torment?
The longer it dragged on, the more Sister Zhen and Yu Wenjing’s voices echoed in his mind.
Guilt flooded Lin Chang’sheng, until a heart demon was slowly taking root inside, eating away at his sanity.
"Enough! All of you, shut up!"
Lin Chang’sheng roared, unleashing his peak Middle Stage Nascent Soul divine sense.
BOOM! BOOM!
With two thunderous blasts, the images of Sister Zhen and Yu Wenjing shattered in an instant.
If he hadn’t had peak Middle Stage Nascent Soul divine sense, this illusion realm might have consumed him entirely.
This array could even disrupt his heart and mind?
"Wh—What the... Nascent Soul divine sense?"
Outside the array, Ao Chengfeng watched Lin Chang’sheng vaporize the heart demons and goggled in shock.
This punk was only Golden Core Stage—how in the hell did he have Nascent Soul level divine sense?
Just what kind of monster is he?
Sans those voices in his ear, Lin Chang’sheng could finally study the grand array in depth.
[Heart Demon Devouring God Array: Entry Level!]
Moments later, a panel prompt popped up before him.
[Heart Demon Devouring God Array detected. Spend 2000 spirit stones to simplify?]
"Yes!"
Lin Chang’sheng chose "yes" without hesitation.
[Great Dao is Simple: Commencing simplification of Heart Demon Devouring God Array... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Heart Demon Devouring God Array ⇒ Concentrating Spirit!]
"Concentrating Spirit?"
That was straightforward enough. Without further thought, Lin Chang’sheng closed his eyes, calming his heart—eyes on the nose, nose on the heart, unifying soul and spirit.
Heart Demon Devouring God Array EXP +1!
Heart Demon Devouring God Array EXP +1!
...
In the next instant, Heart Demon Devouring God Array’s experience points kept climbing rapidly.
"So you shattered your heart demons, so what? If you keep burning your energy like this, you’ll still end up dead! Still acting tough in my Giant Whale Gang? You must have a death wish!"
Outside the array, Ao Chengfeng saw Lin Chang’sheng unmoving and thought he was still stuck, unable to break the formation.
Lin Chang’sheng was consuming magical power just to stay afloat. Eventually, he’d run dry.
By then, he’d be nothing but food for the sea demons in the array.
But how could he know Lin Chang’sheng was already on the verge of a breakthrough—soon to comprehend the array to perfection.
And then, not only would he break free—he’d claim the array for himself.
Half an hour later—
[Heart Demon Devouring God Array (Perfection)]
Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes snapped open, torrents of information about the Heart Demon Devouring God Array flooding his mind.
Right then, Lin Chang’sheng understood this array like the Demon Dao Immortal who first constructed it.
"So that’s where the array-breaking method is!"
Staring into the deep sea, Lin Chang’sheng dove down headfirst with a single motion.
The most dangerous place is always the exit.
Just like with his own Celestial Array of Divine Flame Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation, the way out was dead center in the volcano crater.
As for this Heart Demon Devouring God Array, its exit was inside the mouth of the largest giant whale in the deepest ocean.
That whale would carry you out of the array.
There was no escape in the sky above.
Stay up there and burn through your power—you’d still die in the end.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
Just as Lin Chang’sheng found the silver giant whale, a horde of sea demons swarmed out to surround and slay him.
"Saint Buddha Golden Body!"
Lin Chang’sheng didn’t hesitate, instantly releasing his Peak Basic Level Nascent Soul physical might.
The sea demons closing in each got swatted away by Lin Chang’sheng, one by one.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing the largest whale about to bolt, Lin Chang’sheng gave chase without delay.
That beast seemed to know Lin Chang’sheng was way out of its league—no way would it tangle with him.
But that massive body could never outrun Lin Chang’sheng.
He caught up in seconds.
"Eat me! Swallow me already!"
Lin Chang’sheng waved in front of its mouth, but the whale couldn’t care less.
Seeing the thing wouldn’t open up, Lin Chang’sheng simply pried its mouth open, dove inside, and stood right on its tongue.
