Xuanwu War Sovereign

RUMBLE!

One after another, several bolts of lightning rained down!

The vast bolts of light, like slender Thunder Battle Halberds, blasted massive craters into the ground where they struck.

If one were to be struck, they would be blown to smithereens.

His form blurring like a wisp of wind, Qin Feng wretchedly dodged several bolts of lightning and appeared near the Array Hub.

A faint light gleamed in Qin Feng’s dark eyes. Though his dodging seemed desperate, his footwork was fast but orderly.

Qin Feng surveyed his surroundings. The Thunder Essence Qi gathering within the array was growing more active. The light blue Celestial Thunder Power surged, and from time to time, a bolt of lightning would crash down from above.

In just a few breaths, Qin Feng had already figured out the altered Sky Thunder Refining Array. At this point, escaping would only take him a few moments.

Qin Feng turned to glance at Liu Canyang. ’Just leaving now would be letting him off too easily.’

In Qin Feng’s powerful Spiritual Sense, Liu Canyang seemed to be constantly absorbing Void Essence Qi to strengthen himself. His aura was as vast as a misty sea, stronger than that of Du Pingxia and Lû Chunyang combined.

He was already exceedingly close to the peak of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.

Like the sun at high noon, his power eclipsed all other contenders!

Qin Feng estimated that with Liu Canyang’s strength, passing through the Sky Thunder Refining Array would not be difficult. At most, it would only delay him for half a day.

While fighting two opponents at once and single-handedly suppressing Du Pingxia and Lû Chunyang, Liu Canyang still had the spare energy to watch Qin Feng. Sensing Qin Feng’s gaze, he looked up, and a sharp glint of gold from his eyes sent a chill through Qin Feng’s heart.

’No, Liu Canyang is too tyrannical. Even if I master the fourth wave of the Tidal Extinction Sword, I might not be able to defeat him!’ A chill crept into Qin Feng’s eyes. Liu Canyang was simply too strong.

’I have to find a way to hold him back. I can’t let him pass through the Sky Thunder Refining Array so easily!’

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the area and suddenly landed on the Array Hub. His eyes lit up as an idea struck him. ’That’s it! This Sky Thunder Refining Array is the perfect opportunity!’

’The Array Hub for this formation is a Yin Yang Bilateral Thunder Spirit Wood. This is a high-level Spirit Wood, capable of anchoring not just a Third-level Array, but even a Fourth or Fifth Level Mysterious Array!’

Qin Feng’s eyes darted about as a plan instantly formed. ’Perfect. I have an upgraded version of the Third-level Sky Thunder Refining Array in my mind—a Level 4 Thunder Attribute Formation, the Chaos Divine Thunder Array!’

Qin Feng moved without hesitation, immediately getting to work on upgrading the Third-level Sky Thunder Refining Array. It was time to trade in his rifle for a cannon and turn this into a Fourth Level Chaos Divine Thunder Array.

Qin Feng appeared in the center of the array. His eyes fell upon a Spirit Wood that emanated a blue and red lightning glow.

The Spirit Wood was quite peculiar. The two trunks were no more than knee-high, their roots intertwined as they grew together, looking like two unremarkable, charred stumps.

With a scorched exterior and crude roots delving deep into the earth, they looked like two tree stumps that had been chopped down and placed side by side!

’So this is the Yin-Yang Thunder Spirit Wood?’ Qin Feng glanced at the hideously ugly Spirit Wood, a flicker of temptation in his eyes.

Suppressing the urge, Qin Feng darted around, altering several nodes. Following the layout from the Array Hub, he made his way to a few of the Array Feet and casually took out the only pieces of Crystal Jade he had on him to reset them.

Gradually, unbeknownst to anyone, the distinctly separate Yin and Yang Celestial Thunders of the Yin Yang Bilateral Thunder Spirit Wood in the Array Hub began to merge into a single, pale gray thunderbolt.

The moment this thunderbolt appeared, a chill ran down Qin Feng’s spine. An overwhelming sense of crisis washed over him, making him even more cautious.

’This is Chaos Destruction Divine Thunder. A single strike from this light could shatter the very Void!’

Qin Feng was meticulous and careful. To the onlookers in the distance, it merely looked like he was being chased all over by the Sky Thunder Refining Array, appearing utterly wretched.

No one knew that the foundation of this Grand Array had already changed.

It had transformed from a Third-level Sky Thunder Refining Array into a Fourth Level Chaos Divine Thunder Array. The thunderbolts it contained were no longer the intertwined Yin Yang Celestial Thunder, but the terrifyingly aberrant Chaos Divine Thunder.

In the next moment, with a flash, Qin Feng escaped the array under everyone’s watchful eyes and landed directly beneath the arched bridge in front of the Refining Spirit Hall.

"He succeeded?" Seeing Qin Feng successfully break out of the Grand Array, Du Pingxia was overjoyed. Lû Chunyang also tilted his head to look, a mocking expression on his face as he glanced at Liu Canyang.

"Qin Feng!" The cold glint in Liu Canyang’s eyes was almost tangible. His face darkened as he struggled to suppress the fury in his heart.

"He actually managed to break through?" Yuan Daozhen and Li Qiubai exchanged a glance, their faces filled with astonishment.

The looks in many people’s eyes changed!

A Martial Artist at the Peak of Martial Arts Seventh Layer had gotten ahead of all the Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven and Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven experts!

Behind the disbelief was mostly jealousy and killing intent! The Land of Spirit Refining was too important, and Qin Feng had beaten everyone to it.

Qin Feng turned, his gaze landing on Liu Canyang. A sharp, blade-like glint shot from his undisguised eyes.

Soon after, Qin Feng turned and walked toward the Refining Spirit Hall.

An almost tangible coldness erupted in Liu Canyang’s eyes. With a flash of his body, he broke free from Du Pingxia and Lû Chunyang’s entanglement. In the next breath, he appeared before the Sky Thunder Refining Array.

Liu Canyang was preparing to charge through the array. Qin Feng’s success had provoked him! He could no longer sit still.

All eyes converged on Liu Canyang. A worried expression appeared on Du Pingxia’s face. If Liu Canyang passed through the Sky Thunder Refining Array, he would probably attack Qin Feng immediately.

The purple-robed youth’s aura surged. His fully unleashed presence was like that of a purple-robed Demon God. His tyrannical aura soared, and a faint light seemed to flow around his body. CRACKLE, CRACKLE. The air itself seemed unable to bear the pressure and began to collapse with a mournful cry.

This level of power was almost a Divine Ability.

Not far away, the expressions of several Martial Artists at the Late Stage of Martial Arts Eighth Layer Heaven changed drastically. Even from several yards away, the terrifying pressure forced them back again and again, as if they were suffocating. They could only breathe a sigh of relief after retreating for dozens of yards.

Liu Canyang was finally displaying the overwhelming power that allowed him to suppress all the other geniuses!

At the Late-stage Martial Arts Nine Layers, his mighty aura was in no way inferior to that of some ordinary Condensing Vein Realm experts.

The purple-robed youth took a step onto the thunder path with a Dragon Walk and Tiger Stride, incomparably domineering. His figure shot through the Void like a streak of purple light. Liu Canyang didn’t just want to pass through the array; he wanted to crush it, to break it with overwhelming force and awe everyone into submission!

But in the next moment, a pale gray bolt of lightning swept across the sky toward him.

’What is this?’ Liu Canyang noticed that the previous Celestial Thunders were all light blue. Why was this one pale gray?

Danger. Extreme danger! A chill rose in his heart, and Liu Canyang roared, "Heaven cannot slay me, Earth cannot extinguish me, the Five Elements cannot invade, the five punishments cannot harm me... Seven Extremes Battle Body!"

Liu Canyang erupted with a brilliant golden light, looking from afar like an Invincible Vajra War Body.

A sliver of pale gray Chaos Sky-breaking Divine Thunder slammed into the purple-robed youth. With a CRACK, the light gold radiance fractured like glass. At the critical moment, a purple Divine Light appeared between Liu Canyang’s eyebrows and explosively neutralized the Chaos Sky-breaking Divine Thunder.

BOOM!

The next moment, the purple-robed youth was sent flying backward, his hair a mess as he coughed up blood.

With just one strike, Liu Canyang was severely injured!

"No, how is this possible!" Spitting blood, Liu Canyang knelt on one knee with his hair disheveled. His bloodshot eyes stared at the terrifying lightning, filled with utter disbelief.

Liu Canyang couldn’t accept this reality. He couldn’t believe that he had actually lost to Qin Feng!

The poor fool. He hadn’t even realized he’d been set up by Qin Feng, stubbornly taking a direct hit from the Chaos Divine Thunder!

However, this also served as a testament to Liu Canyang’s terrifying power; he had managed to withstand the Chaos Sky-breaking Divine Thunder with his physical body.

One must know that the Chaos Sky-breaking Divine Thunder could instantly kill even experts of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!

Yet Liu Canyang had only suffered heavy injuries and managed to retreat alive!
