Chapter 619 - 433: Terrifying Talent, Immortal Master Zhengyang Takes Action, Sword Elder’s Intimidation

"What an incredibly sturdy Grand Array!"

Liu Wuya watched as an attack’s might crashed against the Grand Array, his heart instantly overwhelmed with shock.

Was this truly an array laid down by a cultivator at the Integration Stage? How could it be so terrifying, that even they, mighty Mahayana cultivators, found themselves trapped within?

"Attack together! Let us see how solid this array truly is!"

Unwilling to resign himself, Liu Wuya ordered Cao Yu and Zhou Tong to assault the array at his side; with the combined force of all three, they were sure to break through.

Zhou Tong and Cao Yu nodded emphatically in response, then mustered all the primordial power within them and struck at a single spot.

BOOM——

Yet in the next instant, their combined assault landed on the same point, an earth-shattering roar exploding outward.

The three believed the Grand Array would surely shatter under their might.

But when the thunderous rumbling faded, the Grand Array merely rippled briefly before all was still—their efforts like stones cast into the sea, as if no blow had ever landed.

"This..."

The sight made Liu Wuya’s heart lurch in panic.

The combined power of three, and still they couldn’t break through?

With the array set in motion, arcs of lightning flared within, while searing columns of heat danced along the ground.

The twin assaults of celestial thunder and earth fire were not so easy to evade.

And beyond just thunder and fire, waves of Divine Soul assaults slammed into them, leaving all three reeling with blinding headaches.

"We must break this array, or we’re doomed!"

Liu Wuya braced himself forcibly, fighting for composure.

If they couldn’t break free, perhaps they would truly perish inside the Grand Array crafted by Lin Chang’sheng.

This brat was only at the Middle Stage of Integration, yet could lay out such a formidable formation—the depth of his array talents was unfathomable, his future limitless.

Yet despite their impressive cultivation and some insight into arrays, breaking the Qiankun Godslaying Celestial Array was still far beyond their reach.

This array was the fusion of multiple Brahma Arrays, all blended together by Lin Chang’sheng—not something to breach so carelessly.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH——

As the Three Great Elders thrashed in agony within the array—

From afar, a flood of Immortal Palace disciples and various elders were already speeding to the scene.

As these disciples arrived and saw the Three Great Elders ensnared inside the array, each heart was set aflame with profound awe.

"Wait, isn’t that Elder Liu, Elder Zhou, and Elder Cao? How could they possibly be trapped inside an array?"

"Yeah! This formation looks terrifying—enough to imprison three full Mahayana experts! Who could possibly arrange such a thing?"

"Why is Lin Chang’sheng here? Could it really be him? That’s impossible! He’s only at the Middle Stage of Integration. How could he lay out a formation like this?"

"If not him, then who? They’re the only ones here!"

"If Lin Chang’sheng really set this array, then his talent with formations is downright monstrous!"

...

All around, shocked voices from the gathering disciples tumbled over one another in frantic speculation.

They were stunned—for one, that the Three Great Elders had been snared within the array.

And if it truly was Lin Chang’sheng who set it, then his gifts bordered on the unbelievable.

Among the gathered disciples was also Shen Yu, who had just captured Zhao Shuang’Er, intent on coercing Lin Chang’sheng to cripple his own cultivation.

Now, it seemed there was no need—Lin Chang’sheng was being hunted by the Three Great Elders?

Shen Yu wasn’t sure why Lin Chang’sheng had become their prey, but for him, this was nothing short of fortuitous.

How could Lin Chang’sheng possibly withstand the might of the Three Great Elders, all on his own?

Lin Chang’sheng glanced at the swelling crowd, realizing more onlookers were arriving by the moment, making up his mind to escape at once.

As much as he loathed leaving behind the Qiankun Array Plate and Array Foundation, if he delayed any longer and elders of even greater power from the Immortal Palace arrived, he might soon have no chance to flee at all!

"Lin Chang’sheng——"

Just as Lin Chang’sheng turned away, preparing to make his escape, an overwhelming pressure crashed over him, freezing him on the spot, his limbs locked in place.

"A Tribulation Crossing Stage expert?"

Lin Chang’sheng’s heart skipped a beat in dread.

He saw, in the distance, a figure in white tearing through the sky.

"It’s Immortal Master Zhengyang!"

"I can’t believe matters have escalated enough to draw out Immortal Master Zhengyang himself!"

"If he hadn’t intervened, Lin Chang’sheng would have gotten away!"

"Why has the sect suddenly turned on Lin Chang’sheng? Is his talent that threatening?"

"I think there’s more to it than that—maybe he’s actually a spy from another sect, planted inside the Immortal Palace!"

"Impossible! Someone this gifted, a mere spy?"

...

The disciples all around chattered and speculated endlessly.

"Lin Chang’sheng, with such unparalleled talent in cultivation, why stoop to evil techniques?"

Immortal Master Zhengyang hovered above, gazing down upon Lin Chang’sheng.

He had once favored Lin Chang’sheng greatly, never expecting that he would fall to the path of the Evil Dao.

As soon as Lin Chang’sheng summoned that Corpse Puppet, thick with Evil Qi, Zhengyang had sensed it from afar.

Was this not the very Corpse Refining Technique of the Immortal Corpse Sect?

"Second Elder, those words are misplaced. Magic in itself is neither good nor evil—it depends on the user, just like a weapon. It can kill, or it can save. Yes, I’ve practiced an ’evil technique’, but I’ve never harmed the innocent! Does that truly make me an evil cultivator?"

Lin Chang’sheng countered Immortal Master Zhengyang, eyes unwavering.

But Immortal Master Zhengyang only shook his head: "Evil techniques are evil techniques. Since the days of old, light cannot coexist with shadow. Cast away these forbidden arts, and I will ask the Sect Leader to spare you. Otherwise, I fear—"

"That I won’t survive?"

Lin Chang’sheng scoffed coldly.

Now he understood why the Immortal Palace had produced no prodigies for so long—entrenched in their own ossified dogma.

"Since you understand, why do you hesitate to abolish these evil techniques?"

Immortal Master Zhengyang fixed Lin Chang’sheng with an intense gaze, hoping he would make the wise choice.

To abolish immortal techniques was no simple matter.

Not only would his Divine Soul suffer, his body would be wounded as well—at best, his cultivation realm would plummet; at worst, he might spend the rest of his life as a halfwit.

But Lin Chang’sheng would do no such thing.

"Second Elder, quickly—break this array!"

Liu Wuya and the others, already driven halfway to madness by torment within the Qiankun Godslaying Celestial Array, could no longer care for their dignity, shouting desperately to Immortal Master Zhengyang.
