Chapter 504 - 13: Great Black Heaven (Part 2)
"Ugh..."
Yuan Hui’s body stiffened, staggering back two steps.
He looked down, only to see lightning seeming to flicker beneath his skin, surging continuously.
"No!"
His face was filled with unwillingness, ultimately unable to suppress the riotous Thunderous True Force within, he roared skyward.
"Boom!"
Blinding lightning erupted from all his pores, shredding his flesh into fragments, his blood and flesh splattering on the spot.
Fang Zheng landed lightly on the ground, seemingly never having exerted his full effort, reached out towards the ground, and immediately a Relic flew out from the bloody mess.
"Heh..."
He shook his head and spoke:
"Even one who has entered madness can cultivate a Relic?"
"Master."
Meanwhile, Shangguan Duo had also resolved the walking corpses in the arena, hurried over, looking at Fang Zheng with excitement:
"Are you alright?"
The fact that the Master has such strength at such a young age, wouldn’t that mean attaining the Martial Sect isn’t impossible?
No!
It should be said, the possibility is very high!
The thought of his own Master becoming a Martial Sect in the future made Shangguan Duo’s body tremble with excitement.
"I’m fine."
Fang Zheng put away the Relic, scanning around.
The duel between him and Yuan Hui took place only in the Great Hero Hall, but their cultivation base was so high that the aftermath directly swept the surroundings.
With the Great Hero Hall as the core,
Nearly half of Cien Temple had already turned into ruins, the vast majority of the buildings reduced to rubble.
As for others...
Most of the guests today were ordinary people, even though there were a few Jianghu people, their cultivation base wasn’t high, and at the moment they exchanged blows, they were knocked unconscious by the residual Qi Force, now it’s completely silent.
"Let’s go."
Fang Zheng looked towards the outer gate, the warning from the Celestial Secret Compass prompted him to move forward without hesitation:
"Let’s get out first."
The presence that triggered his warning wasn’t Yuan Hui, but something else.
"Yes."
Shangguan Duo dared not disagree.
Just as they took a few steps, a figure appeared ahead.
"It’s you!"
Seeing the newcomer, Shangguan Duo first tensed his body, then showed disdain:
"Didn’t you leave first?"
"How could I?" Shi Bumi feigned a dry laugh:
"I was hiding to launch a sneak attack, didn’t expect Brother Fang to be so powerful, Yuan Hui was too weak in front of you."
"Well said."
Fang Zheng chuckled lightly, raising his hand for a strike.
Five Thunders!
"Boom!"
A flash of lightning burst from his palm, hitting the unguarded Shi Bumi dead center in the chest.
Lightning,
directly blasted him ice-cold through and through, his body flying backward to the ground.
Shangguan Duo gaped, his face filled with astonishment, then his body tensed, over a dozen Golden Needles flew out from his long sleeves, swirling around him.
But against the fallen Shi Bumi who struggled to stand up, glancing at the gaping wound through his heart, showing confusion:
"I concealed the traces of my actions with an Array, controlled him secretly, claiming not the slightest flaw."
"How did you find out?"
"I didn’t see through it." Fang Zheng shook his head:
"I just tried it casually."
"If Shi Bumi’s body were normal, with Righteous Strength automatically protecting him, that strike at most would heavily injure him."
The person before them isn’t Shi Bumi at all!
Or rather...
Shi Bumi has already been killed, now leaving only a corpse, which is controlled by some existence.
Yet a corpse cannot have Protective Force.
"Heh..." ’Shi Bumi’ chuckled lightly:
"I see!"
"No wonder you could kill Yuan Hui, destroying the puppet I painstakingly controlled."
He retreated a step, licking the corner of his mouth:
"Without Yuan Hui, replacing you is even better."
"With the help of your abundant Qi and Blood, I’m sure I can progress further and achieve the Profound Demon Body!"
"Perhaps..."
"I might even become a Celestial Demon, standing alongside the Ten Great Celestial Demons!"
His excitement grew as he spoke, his face twisting, looking increasingly less human.
"Oh!" Fang Zheng’s eyes moved slightly:
"Who are you?"
"Heh heh..." ’Shi Bumi’ retreated a step, the black shadow behind him expanded, instantly covering the entire Cien Temple within.
At the same time, his eyes looked bizarrely and said:
"Can you guess?"
"An Array!" Shangguan Duo’s cultivation base wasn’t high, yet as a genuine Mage, his face changed drastically when he saw this:
"Master, we’re trapped in an Array, if we cannot break it, we might not be able to get out."
"I know."
Fang Zheng looked up, appearing thoughtful, with the inheritance of Master Jiuyuan, he was more aware than Shangguan Duo of the current situation:
"It’s the Great Black Heaven Embryo Array of the Western Buddhism, it seems you have some deep connection with the Western Buddhism."
"Gah gah..." ’Shi Bumi’ laughed bizarrely:
"You actually know the Great Black Heaven Embryo Array, then you should know, you absolutely cannot escape."
"Now, the entire Cien Temple is completely shrouded in the Array, everything inside has been turned into the power of the Array."
"Being against me, means being against the entire Cien Temple!"
Fang Zheng had already realized.
An invisible black aura enveloped Cien Temple, seemingly dividing the inside and outside into two worlds.
"Not good!"
Shangguan Duo’s heart pounded wildly:
"The Mana within me is draining, this Array is consuming my Mana!"
"The Great Black Heaven Embryo Array is like a large furnace, refining everything inside as a part of itself." Fang Zheng explained:
"It is said, in ancient times, there was a Demon God that could devour heaven and earth, who was later subdued by Buddha and transformed into the Buddhist Divine Beast, the Great Black Heaven."
"That’s the origin of this Array."
"However, setting up this Array requires the cultivator to fully release their mind and body, so it can’t escape death if it’s broken."
"Gah gah..." ’Shi Bumi’ laughed bizarrely:
"Well said!"
"But no matter how skilled you are, if you’re not a Martial Sect Master or a True Master, you won’t be able to break my Array, even if the military array down the mountain can break it, they’ll likely be too late to arrive."
