Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

Chapter 303: Chapter 302: The Array Map Activates

Just then, Yu was already standing in the middle of the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array, holding a Golden Jade Flower. His eyes were calm and serene.

Evidently, Yu had defeated Duan Hui, entered the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array, and obtained a Golden Jade Flower.

"I never thought you’d get this strong, Yu. A year ago, you beat me in ten moves. Now, it only took one," Duan Hui said ruefully, scratching his head.

Yu didn’t answer Duan Hui. Instead, his gaze burned as he looked toward Liuu Han.

SWOOSH!

Countless pairs of eyes landed on Liuu Han. No matter how composed she was, she couldn’t help but blush.

Seeing this, a flicker of disappointment showed deep in Guo Jie’s eyes, but it vanished just as quickly.

Yu smiled faintly. "I will get all three Golden Jade Flowers and give them to you."

With that, Yu put away the Golden Jade Flower and looked toward Bu Yanting.

At this moment, Wen Qingye also entered the Array Map from the direction of the Cyan Dragon. He was followed by Yingg Tian. Guo Jie, having just defeated Wei Shuang’Er, slowly walked in as well.

Wen Qingye scanned Yu, but he couldn’t sense the slightest trace of the Celestial Centipede’s aura.

’Could the Celestial Centipede already be dead? Or did Luo Xue lie to me?’ Wen Qingye wondered, his brow furrowed.

Only four people had made it into the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array.

Bu Yanting glanced at the four of them, a glint in her eyes as she smiled. "The Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array is about to activate. The second trial is the array’s test itself. You four should prepare yourselves. Whoever can last until the very end will win this Golden Jade Flower."

"Begin!"

As Bu Yanting activated the Array Map, the surrounding figures of the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise all seemed to let out a furious roar.

ROAR!

At that instant, the four participants in the center felt the sky go dark as the world around them changed. The area seemed to transform into a celestial river stretching across the heavens.

The four of them stood amidst an endless starry sky, seeming utterly insignificant.

WHOOSH!

A piercing Qi Aura shot past! It was as swift as a meteor, its power breathtaking!

Guo Jie twisted her body, narrowly dodging the Qi Aura.

’So fast!’

Cold sweat beaded on Guo Jie’s back, and her brows knitted together.

’This is definitely not an Emperor Grade Array Map,’ Wen Qingye thought as he felt the Qi Aura streak past, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Yu surveyed his surroundings, looking completely unconcerned, as if everything was well within his control.

Just then, the celestial river erupted with dazzling bursts of light.

Several Qi Auras crisscrossed the space, their piercing presence sharp enough to sting the senses.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Wen Qingye blocked with his sword, shattering the sharp Qi Aura and retreating four or five steps from the impact.

The others were also assaulted by the Qi Auras, and each used their own techniques to fend them off.

Yingg Tian’s expression was grim. He glanced around and muttered, "How is this Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array so powerful?"

Yu’s expression had also turned grave, all traces of his earlier confidence gone.

"Remember now?"

Just then, a voice sounded beside Yu’s ear.

Yu’s eyes fixed on Wen Qingye as he sneered, "Shangyou Country? That was so long ago. Why would I remember anything that happened there?"

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

More Qi Auras flew in from all sides, even faster and fiercer than before. An incomparably terrifying presence began to fill the air.

SLASH!

Guo Jie was a fraction too slow. A Qi Aura slashed across her arm, sending a spray of blood into the air.

"This... This is the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array?"

Everyone outside the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Only a few moments had passed, and Guo Jie was already injured.

At that, Qin Wuya shot a look at Bu Yanting. "Elder Bu, this Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array doesn’t seem like an Emperor Grade Array Map, does it?"

Bu Yanting nodded with a smile. "That’s right. This is a Low-Level Spirit Grade Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array Map that my senior sisters and I spent seven years refining."

"What!?" Qin Wuya, startled, shot to his feet. He stared coldly at Bu Yanting and said, "Don’t you think using a Spirit Grade array map for a test is far too dangerous, Elder Bu?"

The Jade Maiden Sect’s Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array Maps were normally Emperor Grade. Qin Wuya had never expected Bu Yanting to possess a Spirit Grade one. This was something he had not foreseen.

One had to understand that while Spirit Grade and Emperor Grade were only one level apart, the difference in power was like that of heaven and earth. A Spirit Grade item possesses a sliver of sentience, giving it power that an Emperor Grade item could never hope to match.

Bu Yanting shook her head. "Dangerous? Not at all. I have already refined this Array Map. I can stop it with a single thought. You can rest assured, Senior Brother Qin."

Hearing Bu Yanting’s words, Qin Wuya slowly sat back down, though he was still worried.

Another ten breaths of time passed.

Inside the Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array, the Qi Auras were becoming more and more numerous.

With a flip of his palm, Yu unleashed a torrent of Primordial Qi, as if an ocean had been overturned. It crushed the Qi Auras into nothing, and for a moment, none could get near him.

Wen Qingye’s steps were fluid as he weaved across the vast celestial river. With every seemingly casual swing of his sword, the Qi Auras emerging from the depths of the cosmos dissipated into nothing.

’This Four Extremes Ten Thousand Life Array must be a Low-Level Spirit Grade Array Map. The core of the array is most likely that point of starlight to the southeast,’ Wen Qingye thought, looking ahead. ’Yu’s strength is not to be underestimated; he’s leagues above Jin Ming. I just don’t know if he truly possesses an ancient toxic creature like the Celestial Centipede.’

The Celestial Centipede was an ancient toxic creature, and even Wen Qingye couldn’t be certain he would detect an attack from it. If Yu truly possessed such a creature, Wen Qingye naturally had to be cautious. He also still needed to verify whether Yu was the one who had poisoned Guann Xuan.

Twenty breaths!

Thirty breaths!

Fifty breaths!

Slowly, the time passed.

By now, several wounds had appeared on Guo Jie’s shoulders and thighs, but she kept her teeth clenched in determination. Yingg Tian wasn’t faring much better; he now had three bloody gashes on his body.

"That Yu is so strong! Even after fifty breaths, the Qi Auras still can’t get near him."

"That Wen Qingye is strange, though. It’s as if he knows which direction the Qi Auras are coming from; he’s always ready to move."

"If that’s the case, Wen Qingye’s luck is simply off the charts."

The crowd murmured in amazement as they watched Wen Qingye’s continuous, evasive footwork.

Just then, Yu thrust his palm toward the empty space in the distance, striking at four Qi Auras that were about to hit Guo Jie. In an instant, the four beams of Qi vanished without a trace.

But in that same instant, a different Qi Aura slashed across Yu’s cheek, and a drop of blood slowly fell.

"Yu!"

Guo Jie’s eyes filled with panic, and tears welled up in them.

’That drop of blood?’

Within the blood was a trace of emerald green. Most people wouldn’t have noticed, but Wen Qingye saw it with perfect clarity.

That green was the venom of the Celestial Centipede.
