Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha
Chapter 271: Go Break the Earth Fiery Array!
CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 271: GO BREAK THE EARTH FIERY ARRAY!
Nezha flew up into the air and saw Qin Wan.
Qin Wan naturally recognized Nezha, his face turning even colder and his gaze more hateful: "Nezha, you killed my fellow disciple. If you’ve come here to die today, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Nezha responded coldly, "What cause and effect are you talking about? Yao Bin first set up the Soul Falling Array to harm my Martial Uncle, so I killed him afterward. Regardless, the reasoning of Heavenly Dao is on my side.
We both serve our masters. Today, let’s settle this with our skills in a battle of life and death. You are merely at the Golden Immortal Realm. My iron spear has already slain several like you!"
"How bold! Then come!"
Qin Wan, enraged, charged forward with his golden rod.
But Nezha had no intention of entering the array. He wanted to kill Qin Wan before he could enter, so that no matter how dangerous the Heavenly Termination Array was, it couldn’t harm him.
He had killed Yao Bin and disrupted Ran Deng’s plans, which made Ran Deng want to take his life in return.
If he didn’t die, what could Ran Deng do?
Nezha knew he shouldn’t hesitate, but these events happened in an instant, causing him to think a bit more.
This slight hesitation made him a moment too slow.
His punch only broke Qin Wan’s magic treasure, the golden rod, but did not kill him.
Qin Wan, seeing that his magic treasure which had been with him for thousands of years couldn’t withstand one punch from Nezha, was nearly scared out of his wits. He thought to himself, he had long heard of this star of calamity’s ferocity but hadn’t expected it to be this overwhelming.
"No wonder he has the Nine-Pattern Divine Pill; his body is even harder than a magic treasure. Judging by cultivation alone, I fear I am not his match."
Qin Wan did not hesitate and transformed into a breeze, entering the gate of the Heavenly Termination Array.
Nezha retracted his fist, thinking it a pity.
From above, Ran Deng’s voice resounded: "Nezha, why haven’t you entered the array to annihilate the enemy?"
Nezha’s face turned sullen, thinking to himself, "Old rat, I am entering the array to kill the enemy, and yet I have to guard against your threats and schemes from the back."
Though he was resentful, he also knew how dangerous the Heavenly Termination Array was.
At this moment, Zi Chen spoke silently, "Just go in, this Heavenly Termination Array can do nothing to you."
Nezha asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Zi Chen replied, "The Heavenly Termination Array disrupts the Four Extremes, though it has its own small paths. When you enter the array, I will merge into your muscles and bones, using Holy Power to protect your body. Your flesh will become its own world. Though the array can disrupt the world inside the array, it cannot disrupt the world within your body."
"Then it’s all up to you, Zi Chen." Nezha took a deep breath and flew into the array.
Seeing Nezha being so obedient, Master Taiyi on the city wall remarked, "This rebellious disciple has never been so obedient."
Ran Deng laughed, "Junior Brother, you are mistaken. He is not rebellious; he is clever. Entering the array to fight may be dangerous, but it still offers a chance for survival. If he were to shrink back and avoid battle, it would demoralize the army - such a grave sin, who could save him then?"
"Senior Brother, you are insightful."
Hearing their conversation, Cihai Daoist instinctively took a few steps back, thinking to himself, wasn’t this exactly what you wanted?
The third generation disciples couldn’t hear the conversations of the second generation disciples.
Lei Zhenzi only asked, "This Heavenly Termination Array is dangerous. Do any of you have a solution?"
Muzha shook his head, eyes revealing worry, and said, "Nezha entered the array like that, I wonder if there is any way to break it."
"Are you truly stupid or just pretending to be? Nezha’s life ends here. Second Brother, can’t you see it?" Jinzha stood beside, arms crossed, laughing. From the start, he had seen that this was all orchestrated by their masters.
Nezha’s time had come to an end.
Regardless of today’s outcome, Nezha had already formed a grudge with Chengtang long ago. Now Xiqi also wants to kill him. Both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are his deadly enemies. He couldn’t see any place in this world where Nezha could find refuge.
Moreover, Nezha was likely to die today.
"He has cultivated for only a few years, how could he have the skills to break Heavenly Monarch Qin’s long-renowned Heavenly Termination Array!"
"Elder Brother!" Muzha’s eyes were red with tears.
But Jinzha was also right. Among those on the city wall, apart from the straightforward Lei Zhenzi, who couldn’t yet discern the situation, who else hadn’t seen through it?
At this moment, Han Dulong suddenly spoke, "Look, Nezha is fine!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked into the Heavenly Termination Array in unison:
They saw Heavenly Monarch Qin waving his banner, but Nezha was protected by a Holy Artifact, remaining immovable.
Seeing this, Nezha smiled, "Qin Wan, the Heavenly Termination Array cannot harm me. We have no personal enmity. Dismantle your array today and return to Golden Turtle Island."
Qin Wan shouted, "What, Nezha, do you think I can’t see? If you kill me today, my soul will return to the Enfeoffment Platform. If you let me go, Ran Deng will never spare you!"
Nezha asked, "Knowing how dangerous this place is, why did you still venture into these troubled waters?"
Qin Wan replied, "Heavenly Dao has already shifted; victory or death is uncertain. We have an old friendship with Master Wen. When he came seeking help, how could we stand by and do nothing?"
Nezha said, "If that’s the case, your Heavenly Termination Array is already broken. Why not retreat?"
Qin Wan cursed, "Who do you think I, Qin Wan, am, that you show me pity? Breaking the Heavenly Termination Array does not mean you’ve won. You impudent child, do not underestimate our Taoist skills!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wan attacked, employing Taoist laws, instantly filling the sky with lightning.
Nezha saw this and, with a frown, charged forward without giving an inch.
Since the opponent was being unreasonable, he had no need to show mercy. After thirty exchanges, Nezha transformed into a streak of lightning, swiftly taking Qin Wan’s head.
Exiting the Heavenly Termination Array, Nezha saw Master Wen approaching with a golden whip.
Having fought intensely, Nezha felt exhilarated. Seeing Wen Zhong, he manifested his three-headed and six-armed form to greet him.
Wen Zhong was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, who had learned Mystic Skill early on and became the Grandmaster of the world.
As the saying goes:
Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous among marvels; Mysterious, mysterious, more mysterious than mysterious. Moving and speaking, demonstrating Dao; Silent and still, embodying divinity. In the palm, like beads; in the sky, like a full moon. Having accomplished, transcending the world, directly entering the Grand Luo Heaven.
Seeing Wen Zhong making a move, Wei Hu was the first to want to step forward but was stopped by Dao Xing Tianzun:
"Stay put and watch."
Everyone, although not many had a deep friendship with Nezha among those on the city wall, he had two blood brothers there. Yet now, after all these intense battles, only Wei Hu, whom he had once offended, was willing to step forward.
Everyone else watched the fierce battle below with growing astonishment.
In the previous battle, although Master Wen had been forced to retreat into the city by their combined efforts, his divine might was undisputed.
But now, he was being suppressed by Nezha, having little ability to fight back.
Master Wen’s cultivation was not weak. Nezha’s combat strength in the Golden Immortal Realm truly defied the heavens," Huang Long Perfected approached Taiyi.
"Hmph, even if I were in the Golden Immortal Realm, Master Wen would not be my match."
Hearing Taiyi’s words, Huang Long Perfected laughed, "Perhaps, but among those in the Golden Immortal Realm, you are not Nezha’s match either."
...
Nezha’s iron spear had just moved forward when a sword in his other hand, like violet lightning in the sky, and like ice emerging from a valley, executed within twenty rounds, making Master Wen regret coming out.
At this time, Zhao Jiang from the Ten Heavenly Monarchs stepped forward to battle Nezha: "Well, Nezha, you killed my brother, dare you come face my Earth Fiery Array today!"
On the tower, Ran Deng’s expression remained unchanged as he called out, "Nezha, return!"
Nezha’s victory over Qin Wan and breaking the Heavenly Termination Array were already unexpected, but with Deng Hua dead, nothing had fundamentally changed from before.
However, if Nezha killed Zhao Jiang now, the subsequent chain reactions might spiral out of control.
Seeing his martial uncle calling Nezha back to the array, Han Dulong, watching from the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought, after all, Uncle Ran Deng is such a personage, how could he deliberately harm a mere Nezha.
But he had not fully exhaled when he heard Ran Deng say, "Han Dulong, where are you!? You go face Zhao Jiang and break his Earth Fiery Array. Don’t bring shame upon our Chan Sect!"
"Ah? Me?"
