Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Breaking the Situation

For this moment today, Huangfu Yongchun had meticulously prepared for ten years.

He calculated all aspects, orchestrating a flawless trap, repeatedly scrutinizing any potential flaws to ensure no suspicions would arise in those who entered.

The Langya Cave Heaven is fake, the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion is real, the limitation of two people entering at a time is fake, in reality, three can enter.

Breaking the seal is real, but the Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array is created by Evil Cultivators, requiring the blood soul of a High-Order Golden Core who meets certain criteria as a sacrifice!

Truths and falsehoods, layers upon layers entangled.

Huangfu Yongchun believed that with Wang Chen’s youth and experience, he could not possibly see through the trap he laid.

And indeed, Wang Chen entered the fray just as he wished.

But this peak Golden Core cultivator never imagined that Wang Chen had hidden his true cultivation level.

Wang Chen was not at the seventh level of Golden Core, but at the peak of Golden Core realm!

The same Golden Core, the Primary Tier and the Middle Tier have a great gap, Middle Tier and High Tier are as different as heaven and earth, and reaching the peak tier is another realm altogether.

The Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array can suppress any Cultivator below Nascent Soul, but the power unleashed by a peak Golden Core should never be underestimated!

Realizing something was wrong, Huangfu Yongchun immediately called his brother to act together.

The two peak Golden Cores controlling the Array together meant unless Wang Chen was a true Nascent Soul, there was no chance he could break the Array.

Huangfu Yongchun reacted swiftly, but Wang Chen moved even faster.

He raised his head and spat out a lustrous golden pill, the powerful Pill Force bursting out suddenly.

It forcibly expanded the surrounding space, temporarily isolating the suppressing force of the Array.

“First Grade of Golden Cores!”

This scene made Huangfu Yongchun’s eyes split with rage!

But what shocked him even more followed; as Wang Chen sacrificed his Golden Core, he reached forward with his left hand and suddenly grasped a Five-Colored Plume Fan, waving it fiercely in front.

A rainbow light instantly swept across, the binding force of the surrounding space rapidly melted away like boiling water splashed on snow.

Fourth Order Spiritual Treasure!

Huangfu Yongchun could hardly believe his own eyes.

At this moment, the Cultivator in black robes was already fully activating the power of the Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array, but before the powerful Array could suppress Wang Chen, the latter pointed the fan towards an Array Plate on the ground.

Huangfu Yongchun’s Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array consists of eight Array Plates, each a top-grade Magical Treasure, and the Array they form matches the prowess of a Fourth Order.

And the Array Plate itself is protected by the Array, indestructible until the Array itself is destroyed.

Yet with a single pointing gesture from Wang Chen, the Five-Colored Plume Fan suddenly emitted a fierce rainbow light, striking the Array Plate directly.

The protective barrier of the Array seemed non-existent!

Accompanied by a muffled “bang”, the extremely valuable Array Plate shattered into pieces!

The Cultivator controlling the Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array instantly groaned, blood seeping from his nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.

Clearly, he suffered the intense backlash of the Array.

The Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array was broken!

If it were a standard Array, even if one node was destroyed, it could still function partially.

Some Arrays could even bear more than half the loss and still remain effective.

But with an Array set up temporarily using Array Plates, there is fundamentally no redundancy, once broken it’s irreparably destroyed!

“Damn it!”

Huangfu Yongchun completely lost his mind, immediately raising his palm and striking towards Wang Chen in the air.

With the Soul Devouring Extinction Spirit Array gone, his hope of breaking into the inner sanctum of Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion vanished, his decade of planning dissipated in an instant, the bitterness and resentment in his heart were immense.

This palm gathered all of Huangfu Yongchun’s Mana, the force of the palm surged like angry waves voiding the sky, its might enveloping heaven and earth!

Then, Wang Chen, holding the Five-Colored Plume Fan, casually waved his hand and easily dissolved the palm force he had launched.

Huangfu Yongchun, finding his strike ineffective, felt as if he had been doused with ice water, snapping back to reality instantly.

The Fourth Order Spiritual Treasure in Wang Chen’s hands was extremely peculiar, capable of annihilating array power and mana. Without a Spiritual Treasure of the same tier to counter it, he and his brother together would not stand a chance.

Not to mention the black-robed cultivator was already injured.

Therefore, despite the suffocating frustration in his heart, Huangfu Yongchun still displayed the decisiveness expected of an experienced High-Order Golden Core cultivator.

“Retreat!”

He sent the signal to retreat to his brother.

Although they could not defeat Wang Chen, Huangfu Yongchun still held an ace up his sleeve.

That was his partial control over the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion. As long as they retreated from this Cave Heaven in time, they could temporarily trap Wang Chen here and deal with him after a few days.

What Huangfu Yongchun never dreamed of was that just as he shouted the word “retreat,” a large sword suddenly soared into the sky, silently splitting into seven Flying Swords.

Huangfu Yongchun was utterly astonished to find that all seven Flying Swords were Top-Grade Magical Treasures.

And they each unleashed different powers.

Heaven, Earth, Man, Wind, Thunder, Fire, Rain!

Qijue Sword Technique, Qijue Sword Formation!!

Huangfu Yongchun was dumbfounded.

He was extremely familiar with the Qijue Sword Technique, having spent countless time and effort mastering it.

It was precisely to form the Qijue Sword Formation that Huangfu Yongchun had organized the Qijue Club and even taught the precious sword technique to others.

It was thus that Wang Chen had acquired the Leijue Sword Technique.

Huangfu Yongchun knew that Wang Chen was quite skilled in the Leijue Sword Technique, and this was one of the reasons he lured Wang Chen into the scheme.

But what Huangfu Yongchun did not know at all was that Wang Chen had mastered the complete set of the sword techniques.

And he even refined the Qijue Flying Swords!

The shock he felt at this moment was immense and unparalleled.

While Huangfu Yongchun was still stunned, the seven Flying Swords in the sky fell all at once, their Sword Qi crisscrossing and weaving into a dense net in mid-air.

Enveloping both Huangfu Yongchun and the black-robed cultivator within.

At this moment, Wang Chen had already instantly moved a hundred steps away.

Huangfu Yongchun hesitated for just a moment, and that was when he missed his last chance to escape!

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!!

When the full might of the sword formation came crashing down, Huangfu Yongchun still couldn’t believe it was real.

A High-Order Golden Core, how could he possibly manipulate seven Magical Treasure Flying Swords simultaneously, executing the profoundly complex Qijue Sword Formation?

But the reality was indeed so cruel!

Facing two peak Golden Core cultivators, Wang Chen did not dare to hold back at all, triggering the strongest strike of the Qijue Sword Formation.

The might of this strike had already reached the true Fourth Order level!

Lights on Huangfu Yongchun flashed continuously. The Jade Decree at his waist, the ring on his hand, and the Taoist Hairpin in his hair, all burst open simultaneously.

But these life-saving treasures only managed to protect Huangfu Yongchun for a brief moment before he was mercilessly swallowed by the fierce Sword Qi!

Before Huangfu Yongchun, his brother, the black-robed cultivator, didn’t even have time to groan before he was instantly ground into powder.
