Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Ninefold Celestial Palace Five Elements Yin Yang Thunder Domain Array

Then there was the Divine Sense of Daoist Master Bai Hua, Liu Yunhua—a fragrant wisp laced with venomous calculation and gloating malice. Having been so thoroughly humiliated by him, she naturally delighted in Xu Yunfan’s misfortune. If the battlefield weren’t so ferocious, she might have even been tempted to land a vicious sneak attack.

Beyond them all...

The vast, unfathomable will of the Sect Leader, the Great Daoist Master at Foundation Establishment Perfection, Celestial Derivation Daoist Master, watched on. And beside him, Li Wei’s gaze carried an inexplicable meaning.

These people.

They watched this magical combat with anticipation, calculation, indifference, or scrutiny.

Some wished to see the Divine Sky Peak Master fall. Others wanted to use this opportunity to see just what this suddenly ascendant fellow was truly capable of.

At this thought, Xu Yunfan’s mind was made up in an instant.

"Blood Demon."

Xu Yunfan’s voice was clear, piercing through the roar of thunder and the wails of a million ghosts from the Sea of Blood. His eyes were deep, and all the Magical Power around him converged inward.

"Your lifespan is depleted, the five turbidities cling to you, and your six senses are clouded. Are you truly going to pave the way for another, only to meet your end here in mutual destruction?

"If you retreat now, I can, in consideration of your difficult path of Cultivation, allow you to crawl back to the Scripture Pavilion and eke out your final days."

"HAHAHA!!"

The Blood Demon roared with laughter at his words. The Sea of Blood seemed to wail with the cries of ten million souls, and his half-yin, half-yang ghostly face twisted to its absolute limit.

"It’s all over, Xu Yunfan! You destroyed the only Human Cauldron that could have extended my path of the Dao! This body, sunken through five lifetimes, has long been utterly polluted by the filth and corruption of the earth. Even if I go back, I won’t live another ten years.

"Rather than rot into mud, I’d rather take this one chance! I will take your life, your Dao Foundation, and offer them as a sacrifice to my sea of filth.

"Perhaps if I refine you into the core of my Sea of Blood and absorb the Origin and Destiny of your Dao Foundation, I can revert my sea of filth from turbidity back to its source, forcefully condensing a sliver of a life-bound Filth Golden Core and continuing my immortal path for another lifetime!

"This is the will of the heavens! You were born to be my great medicine!"

The corner of Xu Yunfan’s mouth twitched.

’What a load of bullshit.’

That Qi Hanfeng had clearly been a pawn whose fate was manipulated by others, a simpleton who had stupidly postured before him.

The Blood Demon’s lifespan was ending. Five lifetimes had passed; a sixth would mean sinking into oblivion.

Setting aside other Sects, this was the fate of those in the Primordial Sect who failed to make preparations in advance, who were overconfident in their Cultivation. In their final years, they became like this.

They became someone else’s blade.

"Truly an Old Demon. Perhaps killing you can serve as a sacrifice for my own Ritual."

Killing was not forbidden within the Primordial Sect, and now that this enemy had come knocking on his door, he couldn’t be blamed for what happened next.

Before his voice had even faded, the boundless sea of filth violently collapsed inward, condensing.

Monstrous blood waves churned up trillions of viscous, filthy, blood-colored light filaments, which coiled viciously toward the core of Xu Yunfan’s Purple Mansion Thunder Realm. It was trying to forcibly strip his Dao Foundation from his Thunder Pill and pollute it.

The Blood Demon was now utterly consumed by madness, burning his remaining lifespan and life-bound filth Essence to unleash the "Blood Sea Heaven-Eroding and Foundation-Seizing Technique."

"Incorrigible."

The last trace of impatience in Xu Yunfan’s eyes vanished, leaving them profoundly deep.

"Then I shall let you see what is meant by the right time, the right place, and the right people!"

Xu Yunfan abruptly withdrew a portion of the Magical Power deadlocked with the Sea of Blood. Beneath his feet, atop the main peak of Divine Sky Peak, a Grand Array was stirring—an array he had diligently built, pouring countless years of effort and materials into it. An array that fused his perfected enlightenment from the Initial Understanding of Array Dao with the profound mysteries of Array Mastery.

For the first time, a corner of its majestic form was revealed to the world.

"Ninefold Celestial Palace Five Elements Yin Yang Thunder Domain Array, arise!"

Following his low shout, which was imbued with Divine Thought, the entire Divine Sky Peak seemed to awaken in an instant.

The mountain trembled, and a draconic roar echoed from the Earth Vein.

At the peak, the massive Thunder Stone that served as the array’s core erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant flash of lightning. This light was no longer the singular purple of the Divine Sky, but split into the dazzling gold of metal, the scorching red of fire, the deep black of water, the heavy yellow of earth, and the sharp white of platinum.

Finally, the Five Elements merged with the intermingling Yin Yang Qi, forming a magnificent array diagram that covered the heavens, flowing in a ceaseless, grand cycle.

In an instant.

The heavens themselves transformed!

The clouds swirled as if churned by a great, invisible hand, forming a massive vortex. Boundless heavenly might was drawn down from the infinite heights, transforming into roiling Pure Yang Heavenly Gang Qi that poured into the Grand Array.

The Five Elements Earth Vein Qi was forcibly extracted, organized, and harmonized. Divine light of five colors—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—soared into the heavens. They cycled and revolved, forming an indestructible Five Elements Boundary Wall, which in turn fed back into the Thunder Power within the Grand Array.

Wisps of Earth Evil Qi were even drawn forth and fused into the thunderbolts, imbuing the Thunder Technique with a domineering, heavy power capable of suppressing the Nine Netherworld and grinding down ten thousand demons.

This was no longer a simple Thunder Array, but an absolute kill domain that integrated the foundation of Five Elements Reincarnation, the power of Yin-Yang Harmony, the might of heaven and earth’s pressure, and the glory of the Divine Sky Thunderbolt.

It was the supreme culmination of Xu Yunfan’s years spent studying the Array Dao and researching arrays.

It drew upon the immense power of heaven and earth from all eight directions, and it converted the Earth Vein Spirit Mechanism of Divine Sky Peak—a Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land—and its accumulated ten thousand years of thunderous will into its own power source.

At this moment, Divine Sky Peak was the largest, most unstoppable Magical Treasure in Xu Yunfan’s hands.

Standing at the core of the Grand Array, Xu Yunfan’s figure merged as one with the magnificent array diagram.

Facing the sea of filth crashing down from the sky, he made a move that made the hearts of all onlookers stop.

"Huh?!"

A trace of gravity appeared for the first time on the otherwise relaxed and carefree expression of the Primordial Sect’s Sect Leader, the Great Daoist Master at Foundation Establishment Perfection, Celestial Derivation Daoist Master, as he witnessed the birth of this Grand Array.

The individual Array Runes within the Grand Array were not exceptionally profound or brilliant, but its design was a work of Celestial Craftsmanship. Using a Divine Sky Thunderbolt Attraction Array as its hub, it combined various attribute arrays—over a thousand nested arrays, layered one upon another—without the slightest sign of collapse.

On the contrary, it was exceedingly stable.

If he were in Xu Yunfan’s place, caught by this Grand Array, could he contend with it?

After a long moment of thought, Celestial Derivation Daoist Master felt that without resorting to his ultimate trump cards, he would have no choice but to retreat.

’An Array Dao genius!?’

On another peak, Lu Chuan shot to his feet, his eyes wide with astonishment and shock.

"He actually has this kind of ability?"

At this very moment.

Xu Yunfan actually took the initiative to withdraw the Purple Mansion Thunder Realm Light Curtain that protected him.

He completely exposed his Purple Sky All-Heaven Transformation Thunder Mansion Dao Foundation Thunder Pill—which appeared all the more divine under the reflection of the filthy Sea of Blood—to the Blood Demon.

Xu Yunfan formed a Mantra Seal with both hands, and his Magical Power surged.

"Purple Heaven Venerable Thunder Dharma Aspect! Condense!"

HUM!

The void thrummed, and the music of the Great Dao vibrated through the air.

Under countless horrified gazes, the massive Thunder Pill manifested by his Dao Foundation—a deep purple orb covered in thunder Origin Runes—transformed into a Thunder Pool and then explosively expanded, taking shape.

Countless Thunder Runes became its flesh and bone. Boundless Thunder Essence condensed into its infinite majesty. The immense power of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Thunder Domain Array became its heaven-propping Divine Armor.

In a flash, a hundred-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect of a thunder giant stood proudly atop Divine Sky Peak. It wore a Thunder Emperor’s Crown, was draped in the flowing five colors, and had a cape made of Yin Yang Qi.

The face of this Purple Heaven Venerable Thunder Dharma Aspect was indistinct, save for its eyes, which were like two Thunder Suns that had condensed countless tribulations. Where its gaze fell, lightning sparked in the void, and all evil was vanquished.

Its left hand made a grasping motion, pulling upon the magnificent heavenly might of the entire Ninefold Celestial Palace Five Elements Yin Yang Thunder Domain Array and condensing it into a massive Celestial Punishment Thunder Halberd wreathed in destructive lightning and vast Divine Sky Runes.
