Chapter 1850 - Reactivating the Sundial (1/2)

Awesome, the Little Taoist arrived at East Region Holy City the next day. Coming with him was Guoguo, Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit.

The Demon Ape, however, stayed put on the Royal Mountain.

Awesome, the Little Taoist’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the Nine-Flag Array of Mr. G.o.dcliff. “Excellent stuff! Excellent stuff! A set of flag arrays made from cold tungsten is super rare. Let me take a closer look!”

He put his hand on one of the flagpoles and touched the surface with his fingers. He was totally infatuated as if he was stroking the white, beautiful leg of a woman.

“Awesome. It is really awesome! There are seven different array inscriptions in the Nine-Flag Array. Five of them are Eight Stratum Array. Whose work is this? This is awesome!”

“Who is better when compared to your array skill?” said Zhang Ruochen.

“He is a little better than me. But in theoretical terms, I am still far ahead of him. As soon as my cultivation and spiritual power are elevated, my array setup and technique would easily defeat him. You have got to understand, Zhang Ruochen, that it needs a tremendous amount of spiritual power to author array inscriptions.”

It was a theoretical talk again.

Blackie also used to boast his theory was invincible.

“I tested the Nine-Flag Array and didn’t get good control of it. It didn’t matter if I used spiritual power or Saint Qi for activation, the seven array inscriptions would appear, clas.h.i.+ng with and neutralizing each other. The result was none of the arrays worked,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Awesome, the Little Taoist chortled. “There is only one array in a normal flag array and control is pretty straightforward. Even cultivators without particular knowledge of it could use it. But this set of flag arrays has seven array inscriptions. It needs at least an array master to control it, like this.”

With the wave of his hand, he struck the nine flag poles up in the air to form an array, engulfing Zhang Ruochen in it.

“All-round Illusion Array!” Awesome, the Little Taoist chanted softly.

A vast amount of white fog appeared around Zhang Ruochen.

It looked as if the entire world had turned white. Zhang Ruochen could not see through the white fog, even though he had opened his Heaven’s Eye.

Just then, a white armored knight formed inside the white fog.

The white-armored knight carried a dragon lance. As he struck it out, the Path’s energy caused the dimension to distort. Ripples formed and struck at Zhang Ruochen’s chest.

Zhang Ruochen immediately summoned the Eight-Dragon Umbrella to parry the dragon lance as he was forced to retreat a dozen steps.

“Spatial Domain!”

After releasing Spatial Domain, Zhang Ruochen could finally see through the illusion.

The Eight-Dragon Umbrella rapidly spun. Its powerful air current blew the white fog away to reveal the position of the Nine-Flag Array.

Elated, Zhang Ruochen lunged toward one of the flagpoles.

the entire array would lose its effectiveness as soon as one flag pole was destroyed.

“Nine-Eye Wind Array!” Awesome, the Little Taoist chanted as he controlled the Nine-Flag Array.

Something changed. With the Nine-Flag Array in the center, nine ma.s.sive vortex formed and released astral winds around the array.

Zhang Ruochen plunged into the vortex and the astral wind hit him as if knives slashed his body. Lucky for him he had the Divine Mark protecting him. Otherwise, he would have been badly injured.

He performed a Dimensional s.h.i.+ft and got out of the array.

“Awesome flag array! Even a Nine-Step Saint King with Greater Precept World-level of cultivation could die inside,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Awesome, the Little Taoist, retrieved the array. “It depends on who is controlling the flag array. If it is me, not even the Precept Domain elites would get stuck inside, let alone a Nine-step Saint King with Greater Precept World.”

“Then I will count on you to take care of the flag array for now,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“With this set of flag arrays in hand, I will be invincible in the Kunlun Realm. What are we waiting for, Zhang Ruochen? Let us attack the awakening Saint Lands and Divine Lands.”

Murong Yefeng stood not far away with his arms folded in front of his chest. “Don’t get too c.o.c.ky. There are tons of other powerful figures in the Kunlun Realm, and the cultivators from the major macroworlds are eyeing a piece of the action, too. Our current level of strength is only sufficient for self-defense. But if we b.u.mp into the real elites, we will struggle to defend ourselves.”

“Who is that guy, Zhang Ruochen?”

“For you, he is only a junior.”

“Ahh, a junior.”

With the flick of his hand, Awesome, the Little Taoist, struck out the Nine-Flag Array in nine different positions around Murong Yefeng. Nine-Eye Wind Array was activated as soon as he directed his spiritual power into the flag array.

Murong Yefeng stood motionless on the spot. He was shaking his head lightly.

Boom!

He stomped his right foot down and a powerful Saint Path power burst out, sweeping the Nine-Flag Array away, sending Awesome, the Little Taoist, flying backward, cras.h.i.+ng through a wall before hitting the ground.
