Chapter 1278: First Cycle of the Six Cycles, Open! Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

*Rumble!*

The fiendish blade Nirvana flashed with black and silver lightning, cleaving apart the sea of stars!

Xia Fei’s target was not one of the Dark Spiritualist leaders, Pakstre and Bei Cangying, nor was it the fiercest of them, Sadid; rather, it was Qin Qing, the only woman among the five peak Dark Spiritualists, the one hiding all the way in the back!

Xia Fei did not believe that this group of Dark Spiritualists had some Devourer Black Ant ultimate technique. If they really had this kind of defensive technique, they would not have lost to Xia Fei and Lone Peak Turbid Shadow back at Spirit Mountain. Thus, Xia Fei had used the Thriclopean Fiend Clan’s Ocular Cognition, Origin of Heaven moments ago!

Just as Xia Fei expected, Devourer Black Ant was actually a kind of spatial transfer technique, a little similar to the ability Little Goldie used to open up passages to dark space. That black fog was linked to some other space. Qin Qing had teleported away the impact from the warship explosion!

As long as Xia Fei killed Qin Qing, the Devourer Black Ant would fall apart!

*Rumble!*

An incredibly fast strike! It was right about to strike Qin Qing in the head! Qin Qing, who was entirely focused on transferring the damage being done to her four comrades, had never expected Xia Fei to be so wicked as to make a sneak attack on a woman! Alas, in Xia Fei’s eyes, there were no men or women when it came his enemies; to him, there were only foes to end. Nirvana howled over and almost arrived instantly!

“Dark Lineage! Fierce Current!”

*Rumble!*

Besides Qin Qing, the other four acted in unison, thrusting their hands at the ground. A black fog erupted from the top of Qin Qing’s head like a volcano and unleashed an immense power!

Xia Fei had been planning to cleave Qin Qing in half from top to bottom, and this move did the exact opposite, the immense power pushing back against Nirvana and sending Xia Fei high into the sky. Fortunately, this move was simply the impact created from a concentrated energy explosion, and Xia Fei had the Annihilator-gradearmor Fiend Scar, so he was unharmed. He was now able to look down coldly at the five peak Dark Spiritualists from a higher vantage point.

“It’s some kind of array,” Xia Fei muttered.

With Firmament Source, Xia Fei could clearly see that, while those five seemed to be standing around in random places, there was a special connection between them. Energy flowed between the five, and at that moment, Pakstre had sent his energy to Qin Qing, creating that powerful force, which had pushed Xia Fei away.

In the end, they were peak Spiritualists. While Xia Fei had the power of an Annihilator, he still could not contend against these five experts all at once.

In the distance, by the five-hundred-soul-core array, Nan Shazi had finished the third energy transfer. Right now, he had his hands placed on an energy recovery device so that he could absorb energy and once more fill his depleted seventh brain region.

They were utilizing a very strange method. Rather than directly transferring energy to the dragon beast’s remains, they had fourteen Annihilators absorb energy first before having everyone send energy into the corpse at once.

It had already been three million units of energy, but the corpse of the Water Dragon Roar remained thick with death energy. However, it was clear that the pile of lifeless flesh now had a faint luster, indicating that there was still some vitality in the Water Dragon Roar. However, reviving it would probably require an astronomical amount of energy.

Glancing into the distance, Nan Shazi commented as he absorbed energy, “It seems like they’ve started fighting.”

Shu Yuhe grunted. “It’s too shameful! Pakstre’s group has five people, but they’re unable to instantly kill Xia Fei! Xia Fei even managed to destroy the warships that they’re on! Teacher, you should let me go!”

Nan Shazi smile and said, “If you went, wouldn’t Pakstre’s group be even more humiliated?”

Shu Yuhe was shocked. Nan Shazi’s words were right on the mark. If Shu Yuhe went, it would not be hard to instantly kill Xia Fei, but then Pakstre’s group would feel even more ashamed. They could not beat him and even required the help of their colleague? What else was there to be said?

Nan Shazi was truly a fiend of a generation. He could clearly understand how to buy the hearts of others and make his servants willing to die for him.

“There’s no need to worry. Pakstre has the Five Spirits Life Array. Perhaps because they’ve only recently learned this array, they’re still not very good at using it.” Nan Shazi spoke lightly.

At this moment, the largest of the thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons said loudly, “Get ready for the fourth energy transfer! We’re starting in one minute!”

“Four million!” Radix said worriedly as another nova lit up space.

Xia Fei frowned. It was clear that the soul array was more frightening than he had imagined! What sort of soul array could take four million units of energy and still not activate? Did the Dark Spiritualists want to go against the heavens this time?!

Bei Cangying and the other four peak Dark Spiritualists also stopped their attacks, but compared to Xia Fei’s concern, they were happy and excited.

“Afraid yet?! Once the sixth cycle begins, all of you will die!” Bei Cangying crowed.

“Idiot!” Pakstre glared at Bei Cangying, rebuking him for discussing the secrets of the Dark Spiritualists in front of Xia Fei.

“What are you afraid of?!” Bei Cangying waved his hand and spoke brusquely. “You think that this kid can escape? We can take care of him in a matter of minutes.”

Bei Cangying was telling the truth. In a one-versus-five, Xia Fei had no advantage at all. Five Peak Spiritualists in an array was a formidable force, so Xia Fei was truly hard-pressed. If not for his speed and the protection of Terror Genesis and Fiend Scar, he would have already died.

Xia Fei’s face was grim and his hands were trembling. Just now, his clash with the array of the five Spiritualists had given him internal injuries.

This ability of the five to transfer energy between one another was quite frightening. Once their energy was concentrated on one person, it would create an unstoppable explosive power!

At this moment, a thunderous bellow resounded through the sea of stars!

“Which scoundrel just said that they’re going to kill one of my Skywings?!”

Such a brutish and unreasonable voice! It was none other than Skywing Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng!

Everyone was so focused on the soul array that they had not noticed the arrival of the Skywing wolves!

Pakstre and the others quickly turned their heads and saw that all sixty-five of the Skywing experts, who were Law Gods or above, had arrived! As expected of the Skywings, they would only come early, never late!

*Whoosh!*

The wolfpack scattered! The slowest of them broke one million meters per second and instantly surrounded the five Dark Spiritualists!

Xia Fei showed no joy. On the contrary, he became abnormally stern.

He took out from his spatial ring a metal hoop used for transmitting brain waves and put it on his head. “Assemble the array!”

*Boom!*

The Skywing wolfpack soul array was complete in the blink of an eye, each person having at least one soul weapon that could serve as a soul core for the array.

“This is…” Pakstre and Bei Cangying stared, terror on their faces. They had seen soul arrays before but never moving soul arrays that used warriors as their mediums! The wolfpack soul array had not been activated yet, but it was already overwhelming them!

“No time to chatter! Unrestricted Spirit Surekill Soul Array! Great Lake Dragon Head!”

*Rumble!*

Xia Fei activated the termination array without hesitation!

There were many kinds of soul arrays: control, absorption, illusion, et cetera. Of these, the termination array was known as the surekill array! It used the most energy and also had the greatest lethality!

The array of sixty-four Skywings began to stir, while the grand ancestor went to protect Xia Fei.

Spirit energy rapidly gathered in the array, forming five giant pillars, but these were not five round pillars; rather, they were five giant snake heads, looking down from high above with disdainful eyes!

Yes, the Great Lake Dragon head was a beastform soul array! It simulated a powerful exotic beast’s lethal attack within the soul array!

Restrained by the soul array, the enemy would feel like they were in a beast cage, unable to escape even if they wanted to!

“I can’t move!” Qin Qing cried in terror. The five of them found it hard to move while being bound by the array.

“Give all your energy to me! I’ll break the array!” Pakstre shouted.

“Alright!”

The black fog covering the Dark Spiritualists instantly converged on Pakstre, making his body seem rather swollen.

“Dark Spirit lineage! Army Slaughterer!” Pakstre roared. Behind him, tens of thousands of venomous fangs shot out! Each one was like a black wolf tooth, several kilometers long!

The five white snakes in Xia Fei’s beastform soul array were instantly covered in holes!

However, the white snakes did not seem to care in the slightest, opening their maws and taking a bite at the people in the soul array! They were not real exotic beasts but rather phantoms made from spirit energy. They did not fear such attacks.

*Rumble!*

The five snake heads bit down on the heads of the five Dark Spiritualists, instantly turning into five globs of white liquid that completely sealed the five Dark Spiritualists.

One second later, sharp lines appeared beneath the soul array.

A Soul Mark!

It was actually a Soul Mark! The Unrestricted Soul Mark!

*Whoosh!*

The Soul Mark was gone in a flash!

The soul array and the five Dark Spiritualists within it were all gone, too!

“Not good! We’ve lost the life signature of Pakstre and Bei Cangying’s group! Xia Fei’s soul array may have killed them!” Shu Yuhe said in shock to Nan Shazi.

Nan Shazi’s eyes turned cold. While in the middle of recharging for the fifth round, he said, “They weren’t killed but were, instead, sent into primal chaos! Xia Fei had used the Unrestricted Sect’s Bestial Termination Array! Each use takes five thousand units of spirit energy! I didn’t think that someone as young as Xia Fei could proficiently use a sixty-four-core array! To think spirit energy reserve would be so huge! From what I saw, Xia Fei has used up ten thousand spirit energy units in the space of twenty minutes!”

Shu Yuhe was startled, sweat forming on his face. Ten thousand units of spirit energy?! Shamefully, not even he could take out that much energy!

As the saying went, energy was a warrior’s everything!

While Xia Fei was a lower level than the five great Dark Spiritualists, he had energy! Energy to make an even stronger soul array, realizing an instant kill against the five Spiritualists!

“I’ll go!” Shu Yuhe said. He loathed Xia Fei, and this was already his second time requesting to enter the battle.

Nan Shazi smiled. He took his head away from the energy receptacle, his eyes flashing. “No need! The sixth cycle is about to begin! No one will be able to escape!”

Sure enough, as he finished speaking the five-hundred-core super soul array surged with murderous energy! All the Annihilator experts had finished their final preparations!

The tallest Devil Shadow Dragoon looked coldly at his men and said, “This is the final time! The first cycle of the six cycles will soon open! Let this universe hear our bloody warcry!

“Awoooo!”

The thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons and the more than one hundred Dark Spiritualists let out frenzied howls!
