Chapter 519 The Escape of More Than Ten Thousand Cultivators
The Yin-Yang Stellar Array was incredibly vast. Beyond the array, a powerful force hid in the dark void.
In one spot was a ma.s.sive black s.h.i.+p. The s.h.i.+p was about 15,000 kilometers long, comparable to an ordinary planet. The s.h.i.+p was made of special black materials that emitted a cold aura, causing frost to condense in the surrounding void. Ordinary Imperial Lords would instantly freeze if they approached it. At the black boat’s bow, a black-robed, black-haired man stood with his hands behind his back as he silently stared at the Yin-Yang Stellar Array.
Swoosh.
A bolt of lightning tore through the void and condensed into a short, stocky elder. The elder had a lightning mark between his eyebrows. Lightning swirled around his body-it was terrifying enough to horrify Imperial Lords. The short, stocky elder looked at the black-haired man and said respectfully, “Senior Dong Jing.” “Brother Jiao Zuo, if you were any later, you wouldn’t have made it in time,” said the black-haired man calmly. “How many subordinates did you bring?” “I brought three Tribulation Eminences and 15 Imperial Lords,” said the short, stocky elder respectfully.
Jiao Zuo was also one of Black Fiend Hall’s official members. He was a Fourth Tribulation Eminence that was skilled at the lightning lineage. He was one of the river system’s strongest, but his status was much lower than that of the black-haired man, Dong Jing.
Dong Jing was one of the three Fifth Tribulation Eminences that presided over the hunt.
“Three Tribulation Eminences and 15 Imperial Lords?” The black-haired man pondered for a moment. With a wave of his hand, the frost in the void condensed into a map of the void. He pointed at one of the areas. “You and your subordinates will guard this empty region.”
The short, stocky elder looked at the void map and replied respectfully, “Senior Dong Jing, don’t worry.”
The black-haired man continued, “Patriarch Black Dragon is very stubborn. He is forcefully using the Yin-Yang Stellar Array to protect all the cultivators, allowing all of them to flee to the array formation’s periphery. This array formation is set up by 64 Grand Yang Stars and 64 Grand Yin Stars. It covers too vast an area, so we can’t blockade it completely.”
The short, stocky elder nodded slightly.
Back then, Patriarch Black Dragon had paid a huge price to set up the defensive array formation. He had requested a Tribulation Eminence from Eternal Tower to help him set up this array formation together.
Patriarch Black Dragon would find it difficult to move so many Grand Yang Stars and Grand Yin Stars alone.
“Many will definitely slip through the net. Therefore, we have to capture the big fish,” said the black-haired man. “All you need to do is guard this empty region. Tribulation Eminences will intercept Imperial Lords while Imperial Lords will kill Supremacies. Do you have the confidence to do so?”
“Of course I’m confident.” The short, stocky elder smiled. “I reckon there won’t be many Imperial Lords fleeing towards the region I’m defending. However, there will be many Supremacies. I’m afraid we won’t be able to intercept all of them completely.”
“Just kill as many as Supremacies you can,” said the black-haired man indifferently. “Let fate decide.”
The short, stocky elder nodded. “Yes.”
The black-haired man waved his hand slightly.
Swoosh.
Jiao Zuo transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly vanished.
Eternal Tower’s Tribulation Eminences are all fools. The black-haired man coldly stared at the Yin-Yang Stellar Array. They can clearly kill a bunch of Imperial Lords with a single breath, but they still have pity in their hearts. They set rules for themselves so that they have to conduct ‘fair trade.’ What a joke. The law of the jungle is the law of survival of all living beings.
He didn’t agree with Eternal Tower from the bottom of his heart.
The juniors in his homeworld trembled when they saw him. He still had intentions of repaying the karma he owed his homeworld, so his att.i.tude towards his juniors was much better. However, he didn’t care about other outer realm cultivators. He slaughtered them without even flinching.
Inside the Yin-Yang Stellar Array, a faint glow could be seen, but it affected one’s visibility.
With Meng Chuan’s eyes, he could only see tens of thousands of kilometers around him.
Whoosh.
He had already flown to the Yin-Yang Stellar Array’s periphery. The array formation formed a barrier, preventing him from leaving.
The Yin-Yang Stellar Array covers a very vast area. More than 100 stars occupy the inner region already. More than 10,000 cultivators will scatter and flee. We’ll all be quite far away from each other. Meng Chuan looked around, but he couldn’t see any other cultivators.
Even if Black Fiend Hall’s spies were hiding inside the array formation, they couldn’t report every cultivator’s exact location. It was also very difficult for Black Fiend Hall to blockade the area completely.
However, I can see the outside world clearly. Through the array formation’s barrier, Meng Chuan could see the void outside.
The outside world was dark. In the distance, he could see stars and worlds with life. However, he failed to discover a single Black Fiend Hall expert. Black Fiend Hall’s experts had clearly hidden, making themselves undiscoverable.
Suddenly
Oh? Meng Chuan saw something.
A nine-story building flew out from the array formation barrier.
It’s Eternal Tower. When Meng Chuan and the other cultivators saw this, they immediately recognized the building as Eternal Tower.
The Eternal Tower flew out of the Yin-Yang Stellar Array. However, it was suddenly restrained by an invisible shackle.
An old man carrying a turtle sh.e.l.l walked out of Eternal Tower and said, “We are under the command of Lord Bloodblessings. This Eternal Tower is filled with cultivators under his command. We didn’t bring any cultivators from Heaven Peak River System with us. Please allow us pa.s.sage.” Lord Bloodblessings?
I can sense it. He’s not lying.
Forget it. There’s no need to fight Lord Bloodblessings for an Eternal Tower branch in a mere river system. The three commanders of the hunt communicated and made a decision.
If the temptation was high enough, the lunatics from Black Fiend Hall would boldly attack Eternal Tower.
Soon, the Eternal Tower flew away.
Meng Chuan didn’t find it strange at all as he watched this scene from within the array formation. This was only a hunt for weak cultivators. It wasn’t a battle between two top factions–Eternal Tower and Black Fiend Hall.
Even a war between these two top factions’ branches was highly unlikely. In a war between these two top factions’ branches, Sixth Tribulation Eminences would be involved. If a large-scale war between the two factions were to erupt, Seventh Tribulation Eminences like Ancestral Master Archean Eon would get involved. Such a war would shock the entire River of s.p.a.cetime.
Supremacies and Imperial Lords were just ordinary people in the outer realm. Tribulation Eminences decide the owners.h.i.+p of all resources and the rules.
Another two hours pa.s.sed.
Suddenly,
“In 30 seconds, all of you are to flee as fast as you can! Remember, the further you escape, the better. Don’t enter the River of s.p.a.cetime.” The familiar female dragon’s voice resounded in the array formation.
Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. Is it time to flee?
The moment 30 seconds had pa.s.sed, the array formation barrier disappeared without any warning
Go! Meng Chuan instantly transformed into a lightning bolt. The time flow around him changed, and his speed instantly soared as he flew into the distance.
At that moment, over 10,000 cultivators used all sorts of methods as they escaped the array formation frantically.
Although Black Fiend Hall was powerful, it had a limited number of experts. Although they had brought along six official Fourth Tribulation members, they still had lacking manpower.
Escape! Escape! Escape!
Flee!
Among the fleeing cultivators—which numbered more than 10,000—were five Tribulation Eminences and over 200 Imperial Lords. Some of them had quite the backgrounds. However, unless they were backed by a sufficiently powerful existence in the River of s.p.a.cetime, it was useless to use their names to beg for mercy from Black Fiend Hall.
Tere
At that moment, they were frantically fleeing for their lives. Although Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords had true bodies in their homeworlds, their true bodies in the outer realm also had Tribulation treasures and weapons. Typically, more than half of their wealth was on the true bodies that roamed the outer realm. Thus, they would not give up until the final moment of despair.
Meng Chuan was the same. If he died in battle and lost his Exile Prison, it wouldn’t be easy for him to escape the demons’ pursuit again.
Furthermore, Meng Chuan was unwilling to lose his large number of treasures.
Charge.
Flee!
All of them fled frantically.
Black Fiend Hall had set up hundreds of array formations outside the Yin-Yang Stellar Array, but they could only block less than half of the
area.
At that moment, some cultivators charged out of the Yin-Yang array formation and entered the array formations set up by Black Fiend Hall.
Some didn’t encounter any obstacles.
Almost instantly, battles erupted in many areas outside the Yin-Yang Stellar Array…
Boom!
The moment Meng Chuan rushed out of the Yin-Yang Stellar Array, he discovered dense water droplets appearing in the originally dark void. The water droplets were only a foot away from each other as they surged towards him. The moment Meng Chuan rushed into the array formation, his Chaos Hole domain struck many water droplets. He felt like mountains were pressing down on him.
Not good. I crashed into an array formation. Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. Furthermore, this array formation has greatly suppressed the void. I can’t use the Lesser Void Transference Talisman.
Inside the Yin-Yang Stellar Array, Meng Chuan naturally couldn’t use a Lesser Void Transference Talisman.
However, he never expected to fall into one of Black Fiend Hall’s array formations the moment he rushed out.
Black Fiend Hall’s array formations were set up by Tribulation Eminences. They were anti-escape array formations. Most people wouldn’t be able to escape from such array formations after encountering one.
This array formation was only one of the hundreds of array formations set up by Black Fiend Hall. Although it wasn’t as vast as the Yin-Yang Stellar Array, it was still presided over by one Third Tribulation Eminence and five Imperial Lords. The array formation spanned 65 million kilometers.
“One Imperial Lord and 65 Supremacies were intercepted by the array formation,” said a long-browed elder in charge of the array formation indifferently. “I’ll kill that Imperial Lord. Kill those Supremacies quickly.” “Yes,” replied the five Imperial Lords, who were also presiding over the array formation, immediately.
They needed to kill this group of prey before they continued chasing after other prey. The more they killed, the greater the credit.
