Chapter 349: The Array of the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate

Everyone who had come was a sect master or the leader of a powerful force. Nobody thought that the Starry Sky Immortal City could withstand the attack led by Yi Zhen.

“Fire!” Yi Zhen took out the Dharma treasure. He was the first to fire at the Defense Array.

Nobody lagged behind. Every sect master on Yi Zhen’s side used their Dharma treasure almost at the same instant as Yi Zhen. Everyone did their best. Nobody held back any tricks.

They did not do that because the Defense Array was too strong, but because they were worried that Yi Zhen would tell that they were not trying their best. They had to go all-out in order to prove to Yi Zhen that they were on the same side as the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect.

Jing Luowen, who had taken out her Dharma treasure a long time ago, was determined to injure Yi Zhen severely that day, even at the cost of her own life. Even if it had not been for the Immortal World, she would have done so to take revenge for her junior sister, Jing Luolin.

Although everyone around Di Jiu had taken out their Dharma treasures, their trembling hands and pale faces revealed that they would be doomed once the Defense Array was defeated.

Other than Jing Luowen, who was relatively calm, the only person who remained calm was Di Jiu. He watched countless Dharma treasures bombard the Defense Array before he turned to Jing Luowen. “Sect Master Jing, is there any top-notch array Dao expert among them? For example, an Immortal Array King?”

Di Jiu was more worried about the presence of a level-seven Immortal Array King. As long as there was a level-seven Immortal Array King, he would probably get severely injured, even if he could protect the Starry Sky Immortal City.

However, becoming a level-seven Immortal Array King was not that simple. The reason he could succeed was due to the Golden Dao Law, the Book of the World and the Universe Membrane Fragment. Without the Golden Dao Law, Di Jiu would not be able to succeed even after 100,000 years of research.

After that Dao left him, he made use of the fragment of the Membrane of the Universe so that his physical body would undergo nirvana. His physical body could be considered an extension of the universe, and his ability to feel and understand all creations was higher than almost the entire world’s.

Jing Luowen was a little surprised and very impressed by Di Jiu’s composure. “No, the Eternal Truth Array Sect’s Array Dao is the best among them. After the sunset arrived, the Eternal Truth Array Sect shut its doors. It was rumored that the entrance of the Eternal Truth Array Sect was guarded by a Defense Array that exceeded the Immortal Level. Unless the Immortal World is destroyed completely, no one will be able to find the entrance once it’s shut.”

“After the Eternal Truth Array Sect, the Vast Array Immortal Sect had the most powerful Array formations. The strongest array master in the Vast Array Immortal Sect was merely a level-six array master, so they were not involved in the attack. The most powerful array master among the attackers must be Yi Zhen, who is a level-six Immortal Array Great-Master.”

Di Jiu sighed with relief, as the gap between a level-six array master and a level-seven array master was extremely big. Yi Zhen would not be able to become a level-seven array master in his entire life if he did not get the right opportunity.

Boom! Crack! The Defense Array shattered into nothing before one attack was even over. Even the big words floating above the auxiliary city shattered completely.

A broad road leading to the auxiliary city appeared in front of the crowd. As a result, Di Jiu, Luo Jingwen and their people were exposed in front of everybody.

Anyone could dash over to Di Jiu and seize him easily.

Of course, that was what the attackers thought. It was not Di Jiu’s idea.

In the distance, the people who were not involved in the attack shook their heads speechlessly. The cultivator who had built the Starry Sky Immortal City had to be an idiot.

Even though building a level-three Immortal Array was quite challenging for a cultivator who had just ascended, it was not an impossible task. However, such a Defense Array was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of sect masters from great sects and experts from powerful forces.

Furthermore, these experts had survived after the Immortal World had faltered. Before sunset came, any Immortal Supremacy could pulverize the Starry Sky Immortal City.

“Sect Master Lu, what should we do now?” A Grand Zenith Immortal cultivator expressed his worry.

Even more of the cultivators who followed Lu Xikun became worried. After all, the Defense Array of the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate was really weak and it did not seem like there was any other trick left in the city.

Lu Xikun frowned and said, “We will go in directly after Yi Zhen and his people conquer the auxiliary city. This place does not belong to a single person, so everyone can get a share of it. If Yi Zhen tries to stop us, we will just fight him.”

There were no more rules to speak of now that things had progressed to this stage. Giving up on the Starry Sky Immortal City was like giving up on the chance to stay alive.

“Do not show any mercy. Just kill all of them!” Yi Zhen commanded as he dashed towards Di Jiu.

Di Jiu knew what he wanted to create. He would show this weakling from the Cultivation World that dying was not difficult. The real challenge was to stay alive.

Di Jiu sneered and threw the maroon array flag in his hand. The entire auxiliary city transformed in a split second.

The broad road disappeared and the space became blurry. The sound of the Dao runes from all kinds of arrays was created as killing intentions condensed and swept across in a horrifying manner. Murderous intentions lurked in the air while everything was in a state of chaos.

More than 1,000 cultivators that were charging towards the auxiliary city suddenly realized that their field of vision was only three feet. The Five-Element aura between heaven and earth disappeared instantly and they seemed to be in a vacuum-like space where all their Five Elements were controlled.

A sect master who was at the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm pounced onto one side before his Dharma treasure exploded with many light rays. He used almost all his strength to launch this attack.

Boom! When he launched his Dharma treasure, the countless horrifying rays acted like a whirlpool and squashed him completely.

The depleted Immortal Spirit Qi swarmed towards the Starry Sky Immortal City and filled the great strangulation array.

Di Jiu grabbed an array flag and passed it to Jing Luowen. “Sect Master Jing, this array flag contains the clue for the way out. Please follow me and lend me a hand.”

Di Jiu dashed into the foggy Great Killing Array after finishing his sentence.

The stunned Jing Luowen finally understood what was going on. How was this a level-three Immortal Array? It was definitely a level-seven one. No, this was not a level-seven array. It was a level-eight strangulation array…

Jing Luowen realized very quickly that this was not a level-eight strangulation array either. She could not tell what kind of Immortal Array it was. She recalled what Di Jiu had told her in the City Lord Manor in the past.

This is my place. Why should I escape?

She only understood the meaning of his words fully now. The reason Di Jiu had given her the array flag was probably so she could tackle Yi Zhen and the other Immortal King experts. Di Jiu definitely did not need her to deal with the ordinary cultivators.

The thought of this made Jing Luowen charge into the Strangulation Array without hesitation.

Regardless of whether she did this for the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, to take revenge for her junior sister, or to save the Immortal World, there was no reason for her to hesitate. Initially, she had thought that she would battle until her death. However, thanks to the help of the great array chain, she only needed to follow Di Jiu and tackle the enemies.

Although Di Jiu was a level-seven Immortal Array King, he had brought the Floating Flame Flag with him to the auxiliary city. He activated the Floating Flame Flag and the Major Five-Element Array. The Major Five-Element Array triggered his level-seven Strangulation Array, Confinement Killing Array, Concealment Killing Array, and Illusion Array…

Thanks to the help of the Seven-Star Aqua Flag, the gigantic array leveled up to a level-eight Chain Strangulation Array. As long as his Floating Flame Flag remained, the power of the array would not decrease.

Di Jiu did not intend to hold back any tricks, as two high-grade Immortal Spirit Meridians were supplying him with Spirit Qi. Before he had built the Starry Sky Immortal City, he had mentioned that they had to kill to stop murder and create new rules in the Immortal World. The Starry Sky Immortal City would be a joke if he did not get rid of all those selfish fellows.

“Oh no! This is a level-seven Confinement Killing Array…” Yi Zhen was the first to realize that he had been dragged into a terrifying Immortal Killing Array.

Before he could even finish his sentence, he understood that this was not a level-seven Immortal Killing Array. The Confinement Killing Array seemed to have two top-notch, priceless treasures working in concert with one another. These treasures upgraded the array from level seven to level eight by force.

However, no one could hear his words at the moment. Once Di Jiu activated this gigantic chain Strangulation Immortal Array, he would not give the cultivators in the array any opportunity to communicate.

Yi Zhen responded in the right way by using his defense Dharma treasure instead of launching any further attacks. The more one attacked in such a gigantic chain Strangulation Immortal Array, the worse it would backfire.

He was not very frantic, as the Immortal Spirit Qi there would not be sufficient for the array to function, no matter how strong it was. As long as the rest of them launched continuous attacks, the Immortal Spirit Qi would be depleted eventually and a level-nine Immortal Killing Array would be useless too.

He was burning with fury because he could not understand how a weakling could set up a level-eight Strangulation Array.

He was not being careless, as even he could only set up a level-four Immortal Killing Array in this place. It was extremely commendable that Di Jiu be able to build a level-three Immortal Killing Array. He had never imagined that the level-three Immortal Killing Array would be a decoy.

He had been trapped because he could not understand this.

At the same time, all the cultivators who had entered the city were trapped by the array like Yi Zhen. Other than some cultivators with an extremely high cultivation level and defense, most of the cultivators who had attacked the city had been killed by the array.

Every sect master was capable and competent in their own way. They realized very quickly that all they could do was wait for the others to attack the Strangulation Immortal Array. They would escape after the Immortal Spirit Qi had been depleted.

The situation inside the great Confinement Killing Immortal Array seemed to become less chaotic very quickly. However, Di Jiu did not launch the array. If he activated the Confinement Killing Array, the people in the array would have no choice but to attack. He intended to kill them one by one first and deplete some of their energy.
