Chapter 401: What Kind of Immortal Array Is This?
"Qingfang Great Emperor, I’ve figured out what Lan Xiaobu is relying on. This is an extremely tricky eighth-grade immortal array. I was right all along—Lan Xiaobu is a peak eighth-grade Immortal Formation Lord."
Kong Kai excitedly transmitted his thoughts to Qingfang Great Emperor Shen Sen, confident that he had finally deciphered the immortal array Lan Xiaobu had set up on the Void Stone.
Upon hearing this, Shen Sen was overjoyed and immediately asked, "What kind of immortal array is it?"
Kong Kai transmitted back, "This is a transfer and entrapment killing array. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary concealment and entrapment array, but if you try to break it using conventional methods, you’ll definitely fail. I suspect Lan Xiaobu is already half a step into the ninth-grade Immortal Formation Emperor realm. I can break this array..."
Shen Sen was ecstatic and immediately said, "As soon as you see Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan make their move, you break the array."
Kong Kai had just responded with a "Yes" when he heard the Immortal Court King of Weixing Immortal Domain, Bai Xun, speak in a cold tone, "What kind of insignificant Five Universe King are you to dare dictate the distribution of Void Stone positions? Just because you know a bit about array formations? There are at least seven or eight ninth-grade Immortal Formation Emperors here. Where do you get the courage to say such things?"
Lan Xiaobu glanced at Bai Xun but didn’t bother to respond.
Instead, he turned to the many Immortal Court Kings and loudly declared, "I’ve set up entrapment and killing arrays here. I’ll give you all three breaths to retreat. Otherwise, I’ll activate the array. Three..."
As soon as Lan Xiaobu counted to "three," several Immortal Court Kings quickly retreated.
No matter what Shen Sen might say in the future, Lan Xiaobu’s warning about activating the entrapment and killing array was their excuse.
After all, if someone is about to activate such an array, wouldn’t you want to leave?
Many others seemed to think the same way, and after those few Immortal Court Kings retreated, a whole group of them followed suit.
"Attack!" At the same time, Shen Sen transmitted his order to Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan, who were by his side.
Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan almost teleported to Lan Xiaobu’s side, while Kong Kai took advantage of the moment to unleash dozens of array flags.
Two immortal energy handprints clearly grabbed Lan Xiaobu, and the distant Immortal Court Kings who were still retreating sighed inwardly.
The Five Universe King was truly delusional to think he could deal with a powerhouse like Qingfang Great Emperor with just an eighth-grade entrapment and killing array.
Shen Sen didn’t hesitate and shouted, "Kill!"
Nearly thirty Immortal Emperors charged toward the Void Stone right behind Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan.
By this time, Lan Xiaobu had only just counted to "one."
Everyone knew that Shen Sen’s final command to "kill" wasn’t directed at Lan Xiaobu, who had already been captured by Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan.
Shen Sen had sent these Immortal Emperors in to make a show of strength to the other immortal domains.
The message was clear: Qingfang Immortal Domain was the host, and they were flexing their muscles.
Anyone who didn’t like it could end up like Lan Xiaobu.
"Not good, retreat now!" Kong Kai screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
At that moment, the Lan Xiaobu that Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan had grabbed vanished like a bubble, disappearing without a trace.
In the next instant, not only Sai Wuyun and Fu Qikuan but also the twenty-six Immortal Emperors who had charged in disappeared without a trace.
The Void Stone also vanished at that moment, and a terrifying killing intent gathered above where it had been.
Everyone stared in shock at the spot where Lan Xiaobu and the Immortal Emperors had disappeared, their backs cold with fear.
To instantly trap so many powerful experts, what kind of array mastery was this?
Sai Wuyun was horrified.
After failing to grab Lan Xiaobu, he frantically tried to retreat but felt an overwhelming force sweep over him.
He immediately summoned his treasure and unleashed a powerful attack without a second thought.
Boom! A force nearly twice as strong as his own immortal energy rebounded, and Sai Wuyun spat out a mouthful of blood.
His chest was struck by the backlash, leaving him feeling suffocated and humiliated.
"Kid, you’ve entered Grandpa Bu’s immortal array, and you still dare to attack Grandpa Qi? You’re asking for death!" As the words "asking for death" were spoken, a massive pair of scissors snapped shut with a loud "crack."
Although Sai Wuyun didn’t dare to attack again, he still summoned his stone mortar treasure to block the scissors.
He didn’t dare to attack because the backlash from his previous strike had been nearly twice as strong as his own power.
He was certain that his opponent was far stronger than him.
To his surprise, the force this time was much weaker than the backlash he had experienced earlier.
In an instant, Sai Wuyun understood.
The earlier overwhelming backlash had been the result of his opponent using his own power against him.
With this realization, Sai Wuyun felt a bit more at ease.
Just as he decided to stabilize himself and look for a way out, a wave of killing intent swept through the space.
Sai Wuyun knew that in this entrapment and killing array, it was best not to move.
But if he didn’t move now, he would be dead.
Sai Wuyun quickly sidestepped, but his face turned pale as he realized he had moved directly into the path of the closing scissors.
"Pfft!" The scissors snapped shut, cutting Sai Wuyun in half.
"Haha, Grandpa Bu is amazing. What half-step Immortal Emperor? In Grandpa Qi’s eyes, you’re just an ant!" Gong Yunqi laughed heartily as he grabbed Sai Wuyun’s body and turned around.
He knew that two half-step Immortal Emperors had entered the array.
The entrapment and killing array on the Void Stone had activated, and in just an instant, twenty-eight powerful experts had vanished.
Shen Sen’s face turned ashen, and he roared, "Lan Xiaobu, if you dare kill even one Immortal Emperor from Qingfang Immortal Domain, I swear I’ll..."
Shen Sen’s words were cut short as he saw bursts of blood mist exploding in the hazy space where the Void Stone had been.
Even an idiot could tell that this blood mist didn’t belong to Lan Xiaobu or his people—it had to be from Qingfang Immortal Domain’s experts.
While Shen Sen was still threatening Lan Xiaobu, the latter had already begun a massacre.
"Attack this entrapment and killing array!" Shen Sen’s rage was almost tangible, and he wished he could drag Lan Xiaobu before him and skin him alive.
Another ten Immortal Emperors charged forward, including the third half-step Immortal Emperor from Qingfang Immortal Domain and Qian Qiong from Weixing Immortal Domain, who also joined the attack on Lan Xiaobu’s entrapment and killing array on the Void Stone.
Qian Qiong knew that in this situation, Shen Sen wouldn’t say anything if he made a move.
If they managed to capture Lan Xiaobu, he would seize Lan Xiaobu’s ring first.
Lan Xiaobu’s ability to set up such an array and arrive at the Void Stone in just three days meant he must have some great secrets.
Moreover, the three Domain Stones he had obtained in the Five Realms Immortal World had shattered, so Lan Xiaobu must have another one.
If he wanted to refine the Five Realms Immortal World in the future, he would need to get his hands on the Five Universe King’s belongings.
As soon as the dozen or so treasures were unleashed, everyone heard a series of cracking sounds from the space around the Immortal Emperors attacking the entrapment and killing array.
In the next moment, those dozen or so Immortal Emperors vanished without a trace.
Kong Kai’s lips trembled as he muttered, "What kind of entrapment and killing array is this? This can’t be a ninth-grade immortal array..."
"Kong Kai..."
Shen Sen’s voice was filled with both anger and fear.
"This is beyond ninth-grade..."
Kong Kai’s words trailed off as he suddenly thought of another possibility—a void array formation.
But how could that be possible?
Some of the Immortal Court Kings who had already retreated moved even further back.
"Yue Formation Emperor, what’s going on?" one Immortal Court King asked a ninth-grade Immortal Formation Emperor beside him.
The Yue Formation Emperor sighed and said, "The person who set up this array has reached an astonishing level of mastery. I became a ninth-grade Immortal Formation Emperor a million years ago, but I still can’t figure out what kind of array this is. I suspect it might be a void array formation."
"A void array formation?" The Immortal Court King was stunned, his eyes filled with fear.
The Formation Emperor nodded, "Yes. If this really is a void array formation, then no one can break it."
The Immortal Court King of Moon Spirit Immortal Domain, who had already retreated to a safe distance, was also stunned.
He stared at the spot where the Void Stone had been, now constantly erupting with blood mist, and felt a deep sense of awe.
Such methods... and he had thought Lan Xiaobu was dead.
Suddenly, he noticed a few people who had retreated even earlier than him and quickly clasped his hands in greeting, "Wu Qiancheng of Moon Spirit Immortal Domain greets you, fellow Daoists."
"Moon Spirit Great Emperor, your courage in the face of such power is admirable. We are from Mysterious Profound Immortal Domain," said Mi Youlan, the first to retreat, along with a few other Immortal Emperors from Mysterious Profound Immortal Domain.
Wu Qiancheng asked with a hint of confusion, "I’ve always admired the Five Universe King, so when he told us to retreat, I did so immediately. Why did you retreat even earlier?"
Mi Youlan rubbed his nose and glanced at the four Immortal Emperors from the Four Emperor Palace, who awkwardly smiled and said, "Well, this..."
Unless they were insane, of course they would retreat.
In fact, when they saw Lan Xiaobu standing on the Void Stone, they didn’t even approach.
Lan Xiaobu and Gong Yunqi—what couldn’t these two do together? They had single-handedly stormed the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool, a powerful sect, and wiped it out.
Just imagine, if they were so terrifying on enemy territory, how much more so on their home ground? Lan Xiaobu and Gong Yunqi had been stationed here for over ten days.
They must have set up everything they needed.
Staying in the front would have been suicide.
Far away, Shen Sen’s hands trembled slightly—not from fear, but from confusion.
He had experienced countless storms in his life, but at this moment, he had no idea how to handle this situation.
...
Qian Qiong was strong, but not stronger than Sai Wuyun.
He had brought a few subordinates and joined the Immortal Emperors from Qingfang Immortal Domain in attacking Lan Xiaobu’s entrapment and killing array.
But after just a few attacks, the space around them seemed to shift, and by the time they realized what was happening, they were already trapped inside the array.
Qian Qiong’s scalp tingled.
If he still didn’t realize that Lan Xiaobu had set up an entrapment and killing array outside the Void Stone, he would be an idiot.
He couldn’t understand why so many Immortal Formation Emperors here hadn’t noticed the array outside the Void Stone.
"Qian Qiong, I told you I would extract your soul and light it as a lamp. Today is the beginning of your soul lamp lighting," Lan Xiaobu’s voice echoed in Qian Qiong’s ears, sending a shiver down his spine.
