Stellar Transformation-Chapter 511: Episode 15 - 20 The Strongest Killing Array
"Xiong Hei, three steps ahead of you lies the next formation. If you can break it, then you qualify to taste my strongest killing array," Qin Yu’s clear voice echoed over Mini Mountain.
Xiong Hei looked up at the peak of Mini Mountain and roared arrogantly, "Qin Yu, you better hide well on the mountain. Once I break your formation, I’ll use this Heavenly Divine Artifact to crush your skull and destroy your True Spirit!"
Having said that, Xiong Hei took big strides forward again.
Mini Mountain was nearly two thousand meters high. Qin Yu was near the peak, and once Xiong Hei stepped into the formation, he couldn’t see Qin Yu due to the formation. However, since Qin Yu had set up the formation, he could clearly know every move Xiong Hei made within it.
"Destroy my True Spirit?" Qin Yu muttered. He was well aware that the True Spirit was consciousness.
Uncle Fu respectfully said, "Master, for ordinary Divine Beings or even weaker ones, once their soul is scattered, the True Spirit also dissipates automatically as it’s too weak to exist on its own. But once the soul reaches the Nascent Soul and attains the Heavenly God Realm, even if the soul scatters, the True Spirit can still exist independently, provided it isn’t attacked by others."
"True Spirit or not, can it still be revived?" Qin Yu looked at Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu respectfully replied, "If the True Spirit exists, although revival is quite difficult, there are still the most precious pills in the Divine World that can revive a person."
"Besides, a person with only the True Spirit left can be revived by a master of the Heavenly Venerable level," Uncle Fu added.
Qin Yu shook his head and chuckled, "Heavenly Venerable? How many have actually seen the legendary Heavenly Venerables?"
"Not just the Heavenly Venerable, a long time ago, when the old master was still in the Divine World... There was an extremely prominent God King, known as the ’Life God King.’ This Life God King possessed the Divine Skill to revive a person from just their True Spirit!" Uncle Fu respectfully answered.
"Oh, the Life God King? To possess a Divine Skill that allows revival, aren’t there any restrictions?" Qin Yu asked in surprise.
To be able to revive from just the True Spirit was akin to defying the heavens. How could there be no restrictions to achieve this?
"There should be no restrictions, according to the old master. In the entire Divine World, among the God Kings, none surpassed the Life God King in ability to save others," Uncle Fu said with a sigh, "Unfortunately, the Life God King is dead."
"How did she die?" Qin Yu curiously asked.
How could a God King level master die so easily?
"War!" Uncle Fu said, "In the Divine World, there’s a war that spreads across the entire realm every sixty billion years. Usually, God King level masters rarely fall in battle, but it has happened throughout history." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Qin Yu nodded slightly.
"Uncle Fu, how long until the next Divine World war?" Qin Yu thought, as becoming a master of Artifact Refining, he could benefit even more once the war started.
Uncle Fu respectfully said, "It should be more than ten billion years."
"That’s too long," Qin Yu muttered to himself.
"Hm?" Qin Yu suddenly brightened, as at this moment, Xiong Hei had already entered the formation located in the middle region of Mini Mountain. The formation was an Illusion Array, and Xiong Hei was clearly caught off guard facing it.
"Haha... This foolish bear, using brute force to break an Illusion Array, is very difficult," Qin Yu smiled as he watched Xiong Hei in the formation.
...
The hovering Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu also became puzzled.
"Why does Xiong Hei keep walking in circles within that three-step range? And why does he keep smashing the ground, always within that three-step range? How much area can he possibly destroy?" Mei Ji frowned.
The most proficient in formation diagrams within Black Dragon Pond was none other than Daoist Liu Xu.
Even Gongsun Jin often sought advice from Daoist Liu Xu, whose prowess in the realm of formation diagrams had already peaked at the second-level array. However, research into formation diagrams was overly complicated. Without guidance, one could easily lose their way in the boundless ocean of formation techniques and head down the wrong path.
Not everyone had the meticulously instructive books left behind by the Artisan God, Che Hou Yuan.
"Xiong Hei must have entered an illusion array; right now, he probably doesn’t even realize he’s going in circles, nor is he aware that he’s been smashing the same spot on the ground." Daoist Liu Xu continued watching Xiong Hei within the large array.
...
Indeed, just as Daoist Liu Xu had guessed, Xiong Hei had no idea that he was striking the same area. Right now, all he saw was an expansive land, and he was focused solely on smashing the ground.
With each swing, his massive Wolf Fang Club, ’Mountain Breaker’, created a huge pit; he would run a distance, then smash another hole.
Just like that... he had struck over a hundred times.
"Huff, huff..." Xiong Hei panted, the Wolf Fang Club was a heavy attack weapon, and with each swing, he had infused it with a vast amount of Heavenly God Power; otherwise, how would he have managed to smash such a wide area of the Divine World’s rocks?
After more than a hundred consecutive furious smashes, Xiong Hei’s Heavenly God Power had depleted too much.
"What’s happening?"
Veins on Xiong Hei’s forehead bulged as he glanced from east to north, "Arrays, I’m still within an array! I’ve smashed hundreds of times, almost flattening half of Mini Mountain. How has the array still not broken?"
Xiong Hei, looking at the endless prairie that still surrounded him, grew somewhat angry.
"The most effective way to break through an illusion array is..." Xiong Hei put away the Wolf Fang Club ’Mountain Breaker’ and instead levitated, his whole body enveloped by green Heavenly God Power.
Around Xiong Hei, the space within ten meters began to distort.
The ’vast prairie’ that Xiong Hei’s eyes had seen also started to warp, turning into crumbled rocky terrain. That is, within a ten-meter radius around Xiong Hei turned into the real Mini Mountain, but the larger area still transformed into various landscapes.
"Haha... illusion arrays, mere minor tricks. In the face of the power of space, aren’t they just shattered?" Xiong Hei laughed loudly, flying forward. Everywhere he flew, a ten-meter radius area returned to reality, no longer able to affect his senses.
Just like that, Xiong Hei effortlessly passed through the illusion array.
Having passed through the illusion array, Xiong Hei had now reached the halfway up Mini Mountain.
"Qin Yu, aren’t you coming to accept your death?" Xiong Hei shouted loudly.
At this moment, Qin Yu, with his hands behind his back, stood at the peak of Mini Mountain and also spoke loudly, "Xiong Hei, breaking the illusion array is no great feat. Advance a bit further and you will encounter my most powerful killing array; I wonder how you will break through that?"
"Killing array? Haha, simple, so simple!" Xiong Hei was quite confident.
Although the killing array possessed offensive capabilities, at least it would not lead him to lose his way. In Xiong Hei’s opinion, he only needed to persevere for a while, and then use his Wolf Fang Club to create a landslide, destroying the array base as a result.
"Simple?" Qin Yu’s face had a faint smile, "Don’t be too confident; overconfidence could cost you your life."
Qin Yu was very confident in this killing array—it was his highest achievement in ’killing array’ technology up to now, being a third-level array formation. Moreover, in terms of power... it was even stronger than an average third-level array formation.
Because this third-level array mainly involved fire attribute attacks!
Qin Yu himself owned a "Refining Fire Bracelet," made from nine "Purple Origin Fire Pearls." With the aid of the Refining Fire Bracelet, Qin Yu set up a Fire Attribute Killing Array, which was incredibly powerful!
"I refuse to believe that you won’t die under the attack of the White Pure Fire!" Qin Yu’s face was filled with confidence.
The White Pure Fire was the True Fire within the bodies of Heavenly Gods. Relying on the perfect overlay of twenty-six array formations, combined with the assistance of the Refining Fire Bracelet, Qin Yu was just able to unleash an attack with White Pure Fire.
Facing the White Pure Fire, even Heavenly Gods could not withstand it unless they had Heavenly Divine Combat Clothes!
It was already rare for Xiong Hei to possess a Low Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact; how could he possibly have Heavenly Divine Defensive Armor? Thus, in this battle...
...once Xiong Hei stepped in, he would definitely be burned clean by the White Pure Fire, not even his True Spirit would remain.
...
Under the watchful eyes of Daoist Liu Xu, Mei Ji, and nearly ten thousand Divine Beings, Xiong Hei stepped into Qin Yu’s most powerful Killing Array.
"Killing Array, break!"
Xiong Hei excitedly extended his large tongue, licking his thick lips, his entire body wielding the Wolf Fang Club, ready to smash it fiercely toward the ground, but just then—
a burst of White Pure Fire erupted from the ground.
"White." Xiong Hei was startled, then suddenly came to his senses, "Ah, White Pure Fire!" Xiong Hei backed away frantically as if driven mad, but then another burst of White Pure Fire flew at him from behind.
Xiong Hei kept dodging; he dared not get close to the ground because bursts of White Pure Fire were emerging from it. And there were bursts of White Pure Fire in the sky as well.
The sky, the ground, all around! White Pure Fire flew at him from every direction. As time passed, the White Pure Fire became more abundant and even formed a cage, closing in on Xiong Hei.
"How could there be so much White Pure Fire? Even Heavenly Gods couldn’t emit so much White Pure Fire." Xiong Hei was nearly crying.
There is only a little True Fire inside a person.
Who could use so much White Pure Fire to attack someone? But Qin Yu did it. He did it with the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure "Refining Fire Bracelet," and his own strongest Killing Array, creating a Fire Attribute Killing Array.
"This formation’s level is still too low; if it were a Fourth Level Formation, or a Fifth Level Formation, I estimate that the entire range of the formation would be endlessly filled with White Pure Fire, not just in bursts like now."
"Currently, my power is too low, although I have completely refined the ’Refining Fire Bracelet,’ the White Pure Fire it emits is too little. If my power were stronger, relying solely on the ’Refining Fire Bracelet,’ I could create a hell of White Pure Fire!"
Qin Yu was still lamenting in his heart.
...
Xiong Hei had already lost all hope.
Faced with White Pure Fire closing in from every direction, Xiong Hei didn’t know what to do. He was merely a Lower Heavenly God. If he were a Middle Level Heavenly God, with their understanding of space, he could easily form an "Absolute Domain" and escape effortlessly.
But as a Lower Heavenly God, the space constraints in the Divine World were too great. In the Divine World, he could only make himself fly, at most causing the surrounding space to warp a little.
"White Pure Fire..."
Xiong Hei looked at his Upper Grade Divine Artifact Combat Clothes and could only give a bitter smile. Faced with White Pure Fire, Upper Grade Divine Artifacts couldn’t possibly resist even for a moment. Xiong Hei lost hope and gave up!
Dense volumes of White Pure Fire flew towards Xiong Hei, now only a few meters away from him.
But at this moment, something happened that left everyone dumbfounded.
"Boom!"
It was as if everything had turned to chaos. Clusters of White Pure Fire seemed to lose control and flew haphazardly in every direction. Moreover, after flying only a few meters, all the flames were extinguished.
"This, this..." Xiong Hei stared blankly at this scene.
He had large holes in his thigh and chest, from which blood continuously flowed, but he paid no attention to these wounds.
Some of the wildly flying White Pure Fire had landed on him, and some had extinguished before even touching him. He had no idea why.
"Stacking twenty-six Array Formations, according to the deduced outcome, Xiong Hei should have died, but it seems the energy of the White Pure Fire was too great, affecting the Third and Eighth Arrays. The Killing Array, originally unified, just collapsed like that?"
Qin Yu found it hard to accept this result.
Setting up Arrays is a highly precise matter, especially when many layers are involved. Even if one layer encounters an issue, the entire Array will collapse.
"Master, this is why testing Arrays is so important. Deductions are just that, the most ideal scenarios. However, the more complex the Array, the harder it is to achieve the deduced result," Uncle Fu explained from the side.
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, "I understand this principle, but I didn’t expect... that Xiong Hei would actually escape death in this Array."
In the past, Qin Yu always looked forward to testing Arrays to spot mistakes in his deductions.
However, when mistakes occurred, Qin Yu felt a bit unwilling to accept them. After all, the Lower Heavenly God ’Xiong Hei’ was just a bit away from death. But now—
"Phew, phew, heaven is helping me, heaven is helping me!!!" Xiong Hei yelled excitedly, his forehead, face, and even his back drenched in cold sweat.
Xiong Hei used the remaining Heavenly God Power in his body to heal his injuries. For Heavenly Gods, bodily injuries are minor; they just require the consumption of Heavenly God Power, which in turn needs to be replenished using Divine Spirit Stones.
Flipping his hand, he took out an Upper Grade Divine Spiritual Stone, and Xiong Hei quickly healed his injuries.
"Xiong Hei, you’re really lucky!"
Xiong Hei looked up to see Qin Yu hovering in the air, only two to three hundred meters away from him.
"Qin Yu, even heaven is helping me!" brimmed with confidence, Xiong Hei declared, "Even your strongest Array is ruined, what can you do now, hahaha... Die!"
Xiong Hei charged at Qin Yu with great speed.
As Qin Yu watched Xiong Hei approaching, a phrase from "Array Dao," recorded in its 900 scrolls, crossed his mind: "Among the Killing Array, Trap Array, and Defensive Array, the most powerful is the Trap Array!"
"Array Dao" consisted of 900 scrolls, more than five hundred of which discussed the Trap Array, while the scrolls on Killing Arrays and Defensive Arrays totaled nearly four hundred.
"I hope this statement in ’Array Dao’ is true. If it’s false, it will force me to resort to physical force, and I’m not one who likes using force," Qin Yu muttered to himself, yet his entire body sprang into action...
