Chapter 1596: Landscape as Painting, Enemy’s Blood as Ink

In the array, Lin Xun couldn’t help but show a hint of embarrassment as he watched the leading figures of the eight domains get more and more exasperated.

No matter what amazing talent you have, how strong your foundation is, how powerful you are…so what?

When you are trapped, you will still lose your head and panic like crazy!

“Ah—” Shrill, miserable screams rang out.

Under the oppression of the power of the universe, a youngster wearing a crown of feathers suffered a sneak attack from one of the Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits that tore his body apart and blood rained everywhere.

Before his mutilated body even hit the ground, it was already trampled into mush and a pool of blood by a group of Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits that sped across. He died an extremely tragic and violent death.

Kun Shaoyu and the others assumed solemn expressions, casting away all distracting thoughts in their minds, and fought with everything they had.

Boom!

Immediately, dao arts swept the battlefield, Saint treasures flew across like a tide, and glorious rays of light beamed across the land, causing the surrounding space to collapse.

It was just that this time it was different from before. As the Great Thousand Ghost Array was activated to its full power, its three forbidden powers, Imprisonment Circle, Controlling Ghosts with the Mind and Combined Power of the Universe, were all unleashed.

The level of power astonished even Lin Xun.

If he had not noticed the danger in the beginning, then he would have been the one trapped in the array and facing the calamity!

It was obvious that Kun Shaoyu and the others had gone to great lengths to kill him, but unfortunately for them, they still failed in the end.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

In the battlefield, the stress that Kun Shaoyu and others were under multiplied. Each one of them was as majestic and mighty as a divine being as they attacked left and right. The power they unleashed could only be described as extraordinary and earthshaking.

Lin Xun thought to himself that if it were a head-on battle, he would not be confident of winning a victory against such a group of fierce and powerful characters.

He might even have to take evasive actions!

After all, he was not only outnumbered, but each of his opponents was also a top supreme Saint. How terrifying was their combined strength?

Unless he was truly invincible in the supreme Saint Stage, then he could only choose to retreat and fight only when appropriate.

It was a pity that Kun Shaoyu and the others had fallen into a pit of their own digging, trapped in the array they set themselves and in a precarious situation!

Without hesitation, Lin Xun grasped the Stabilizing Saint Orb, and mobilized the power of the array to start the killing spree.

Buzz!

In midair, the power of the universe gathered together before integrating with the dense dao runes and condensed into a dazzling heavenly sword.

The sword represented the will of heaven and earth. Filled with the power of the great array and able to manipulate the power of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, it wielded absolute power like a ruler of the universe.

Kun Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and yelled out, “Quickly dodge!”

Boom!

A deafening rumble shook the world. A slash of the heavenly sword left a spear straight crack in the vast void like it was a canvas. The leading figures all turned ashen-faced at the destructive aura still lingering in the air.

Although Kun Shaoyu had warned them, some people failed to evade the attack in time.

It was not that they did not want to, but they could not!

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Three supreme Saints, two men and one woman, were instantly killed as the dazzling heavenly sword passed, their bodies pulverized in the torrent of sword qi.

Everyone shuddered.

It was also at this moment that they realized how frighteningly powerful the array arranged by Zhu Yingkong was, which was originally prepared for Lin Xun.

But now, it was used on them instead.

Zhu Yingkong was the most aggrieved and furious. He was well aware that once the array was activated to its full power, even Big Saints would not be able to survive.

He should have been the one operating the array and killing Lin Xun in the array. Unfortunately, everything had changed...

Buzz!

In the void, the power of the universe accumulated once again. Clouds scudded across the sky and the wind raged, gathering into the heavenly sword. The sword slashed down the thousand foot high sky like a divine punishment unleashing upon the world.

Bang!

Chi Wushu thundered and brought out a jade pestle with scarlet clouds flowing around it. It was a miraculously tough Saint treasure with incredible power.

But in just an instant, it was severed by the unstoppable slash of the heavenly sword. Its magnificent light dimmed before it was completely destroyed.

Chi Wushu felt his heart ache, and his face twisted with horror.

The power of the great array is beyond terrifying.

When the heavenly sword landed, another two were killed on the spot once again. So what if they were Saints? Under the sword, they were exterminated like weeds!

Those bloody scenes turned the faces of Kun Shaoyu and others more and more grave.

They were trapped in the array and faced with the oppression of three types of dangers.

The first was the attacks from the Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits. They were not particularly afraid of their powers, but they had to admit they were outnumbered.

The second was the oppression of heaven and earth. When the great array was activated, it drew upon the power of the mountains and rivers across thousands of miles away, which was enough to petrify all ghosts and demons.

The third was being manipulated by Lin Xun. He gathered the power of the universe and mobilized the killing power of the great array to send a heavenly sword slashing down from the sky just like a divine punishment unleashed upon the world.

The combination of the three dangers posed a serious threat to Kun Shaoyu and the others. They all tensed up and felt their spirits were constrained.

“Slash!”

Lin Xun, who was standing inside the World Stabilizing Saint Array, showed no intention of stopping and continued to kill without mercy.

He did not think he could kill all opponents in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm; after all, the competition only lasted ten days, and there were far too many powerful enemies. But he also would not just sit still and wait for death.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yingkong would give him such a big surprise? Lin Xun took advantage of this gift to make a clean sweep of them.

Based on that, how would he show mercy?

The heavenly sword shone brilliantly in the sky, like the ruler of heaven. Wherever it passed, all was severed without question.

Suddenly, the inside of the array became turbulent and chaotic. No one dared to fight head-on, not even leading figures such as Kun Shaoyu dared to show off their strength.

However, while evading, they were surrounded by Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits and suffered the oppression of the power of heaven and earth. The slightest carelessness could lead to them killed by the heavenly sword.

In fact, casualties continued to rise!

Just as Zhu Yingkong was convinced that he was invincible and had the power to dominate the enemy with the array in his hand, Lin Xun also confidently launched a killing spree like he was invincible.

Bang!

One after another, Saint treasures were badly damaged and blasted back with ear splitting sounds. Every dao art was crushed with ease and turned into a shower of light.

Pu!

At the same time, tragic screams echoed endlessly and thick, scarlet blood splattered and dyed the blue sky red.

In just ten breaths.

Nine people had been slaughtered, both their body and spirit utterly destroyed.

Before their deaths, they were renowned geniuses in their domains, standing at the pinnacle of the world, and had an extremely bright future.

But at death, they could not even maintain an intact corpse. A lifetime of fame, a life of cultivation and years of pursuit all dissipated with the wind!

If a cultivator from the eight domains camp saw this, they would no doubt be petrified.

And if this spread back to the eight domains, it would no doubt strike the countless ancient sects, clans, and cultivators with horror!

It should be noted that every peerless genius talent was a hero-like existence, and they only rarely came into being.

The death of any of them would be a heavy blow!

At least, after these good seedlings who had potential of climbing the Emperor Stage were killed, the path of someone becoming an Emperor in the eight domain camps would be much dimmer!

At this moment, Lin Xun seemed to have become the executioner of those peerless geniuses.

If he could eliminate all the opponents and become victorious in the Conflict of the Nine Domains, then it would give the Ancient Wasteland Domain a chance to rise!

This was what it meant by ‘kill all enemies and stand forever’!

“Zhu Yingkong, you set up this array, is there really no way to destroy it?” Kun Shaoyu roared in anger.

His eyes were red with rage.

In just a short moment, more than twenty people on their side had been killed. He felt his heart bleed at such a huge loss.

“Everyone, hold on for a little longer. When this array is operated at full strength, it will exhaust the power of the mountains and rivers across thousands of miles in less than a quarter of an hour. When that happens, the array will collapse by itself!” Zhu Yingkong said aloud.

A quarter of an hour.

In normal times, that length of time would pass in the blink of an eye, but in such a perilous situation, every second felt as long as a year. The wait would be tortuous.

At this moment, many people secretly regretted their decision. If they had known about this, they would have directly surrounded and killed Lin Xun instead of setting up the array!

At least, in a head-on battle, their combined strength was enough to overpower him.

Unfortunately, they were all too wary of Lin Xun, especially after Xue Qingyi’s reminder, so they decided to act cautiously.

They believed that setting up a great array to kill him would be the safest way.

But who would have thought that they had shot themselves in the foot?

No matter what they thought, slaughtering was still happening in the array.

𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

On the other hand, for Lin Xun, killing the enemy was not as difficult as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was extremely effortless. While talking and laughing, he killed one dazzling figure after another.

He could not have asked for a better satisfying battle, and it would have been impossible without Zhu Yingkong sending him this big surprise.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

In the array, the casualties continued to increase. Kun Shaoyu and the others watched their comrades die one after another.

Their blood-curdling screams before death, their looks of bitterness and unwillingness, and the scenes of carnage made Kun Shaoyu and the others turn livid and their hearts twitched violently. They were furious and almost shattered their own teeth in anger.

“Lin Xun, do you dare to come out to fight me?!” Chi Wushu bellowed in a hoarse voice like a thunderclap. He could no longer stand it.

He seemed to be venting.

How would Lin Xun, who was in such an advantageous position, be so foolish to jump out and fight Chi Wushu head-on?

But to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun agreed!

Shua!

He did utter a word and just teleported out of the World Stabilizing Saint Array in a flash and stood before Chi Wushu.

Unbelievably fast!

Even the provocator Chi Wushu was taken aback. He seemed to have never expected that Lin Xun would agree in such a straightforward way.

Boom!

As a leading figure of a domain, Chi Wushu reacted very quickly. Without wavering, he swung the bone spear in his hand and thrust it forward.

Pierced by the spear, the surrounding space instantly collapsed, and terrifying dao light and law power burst forth like a river bursting its banks.

This was a blow of rage; it was full-on and boundlessly terrifying!

Lin Xun, who was already charging forward at him, just raised his fist into the air and swung it out. It was simple, direct, but it contained overwhelming tyrannical power!
