How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 560 - 559: Miao Shou Alters the Four Seasons Great Array
CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 559: MIAO SHOU ALTERS THE FOUR SEASONS GREAT ARRAY
Feng Ji’s hair moved without wind.
He had already made it clear!
His hostility towards the Yin Yang Temple was fully evident.
How dare he turn his face in this manner at this time?
Could it be that Li Chushui and Lu Sanqian have arrived?
At least she knew that her Master Hua Miaoyi hadn’t arrived. Her Master was currently in seclusion and could not be disturbed unless it was an exceptional situation, so even when they encountered Zheng Tianyan, she did not send a message to her Master until it was absolutely necessary.
Yang Jiu Lie gave a chilling smile: "So, you came to my door today not to sincerely negotiate a deal with my Yin Yang Temple, but to directly target me?"
Lin Xiaosu replied: "A sincere negotiation can still be sincere, but not with you, Yang Jiu Lie. Having Master Yin alone is more than sufficient."
Yang Jiu Lie laughed, full of mockery: "In front of me, you intend to tear apart the Yin Yang Temple?"
"Tear apart the Yin Yang Temple? Hahaha... I gladly admit!" Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily: "Do you know why I want to tear it apart? Because having one Taoist temple with two masters is a joke! I will help Master Yin remove you, and the Yin Yang Temple will only have one master left. I believe Master Yin will be delighted."
"Nonsense!" Yin Jiuyou’s face suddenly darkened.
Even though Lin Xiaosu’s proposal pleased him, and he very much hoped for his senior brother to pass away, he couldn’t admit it!
Being a giant of the Enlightenment Realm, he had the basic awareness that he absolutely could not kill his senior brother. Even trying to forcefully kill him would result in mutual destruction.
The Taoist path is not suitable for mutual destruction.
He had given up on that approach eight hundred years ago.
However, he would be happy to see his senior brother kill this reckless boy.
He was also quite curious to see what trump cards this boy might have.
If the boy had the ability to go down with his senior brother, Yin Jiuyou might even consider enjoying a good drink and a feast that night.
At first, emotions surged in Yang Jiu Lie’s heart.
Could it be true that Yin Jiuyou had such thoughts?
But Yin Jiuyou denied it to his face.
This denial reassured him.
If Yin Jiuyou really had some underhanded dealings with him, there would be no need to deny it after their showdown; a sneak attack would be sufficient.
Yin Jiuyou did not launch a sneak attack and denied it to his face.
That proved that even if they had some secret negotiations, nothing had truly been achieved.
"Boy, has any of your elders ever told you that self-inflicted sin is not meant to survive?" His voice echoed with infinite eeriness, and under the cold waves of sound, his Taoist robe suddenly split and descended!
Feng Ji’s face changed dramatically!
With a lift of her hand, her sword unsheathed!
However, something strange happened!
Yang Jiu Lie’s attack, still three meters away from Lin Xiaosu, was suddenly blocked by a golden stream of light that appeared in front of Lin Xiaosu like a curtain.
Boom!
Yang Jiu Lie’s Taoist robe collided with this golden light stream and shattered!
Yang Jiu Lie’s eyes suddenly widened...
Yin Jiuyou’s expression also changed drastically!
He raised his gaze, looking at the scene before him, as if he had seen a ghost.
An Array!
He and Yang Jiu Lie were enveloped in a Great Array.
And Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji, at some point, had exited this array.
"An Array?" Yang Jiu Lie growled lowly.
Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily: "Do you think I entered your Four Seasons Array just to help you understand the Array nature of the Yin Yang Temple? All I wanted was to trap both of you self-proclaimed Array Masters of the temple within the array."
"Boy! How did you do it? You didn’t even use an Array Pen..." Yin Jiuyou’s mind was filled with confusion.
Indeed, Yang Jiu Lie didn’t understand either.
Yin Jiuyou never really trusted Lin Xiaosu and neither did he.
Any anomalies Lin Xiaosu had within the Four Seasons Array couldn’t have escaped the eyes of the two Array Masters.
He merely used his fingers to probe around, without any chance to set up an array.
How did he manage to transform the Four Seasons Great Array into a trapping array?
They didn’t understand, and of course, Feng Ji understood even less.
But she didn’t need to understand the array; she only needed to grasp the situation...
She clearly knew that Lin Xiaosu’s actions against the Yin Yang Temple had entered a substantive phase.
He was hundreds of times more aggressive than she had initially anticipated, not using words to persuade or strategies to outwit. Instead, he used the Array Path to set up an inconceivable scheme.
The Array Path was the strongest domain of the Yin Yang Temple.
Yet, he focused precisely on their strongest point.
This move, no one could have predicted!
Lin Xiaosu extended a single finger: "You both specialize in Array Formations. Do you know what ’Innate Array Body’ means?"
Innate Array Body!
The masters of the Yin Yang Temple were all petrified.
They realized where the problem lay.
He had the Innate Array Body!
He didn’t need an Array Pen!
His fingers themselves were the Array Pen!
When he entered the array earlier, he touched the four Array Eyes, modifying the Four Seasons Array right under their noses!
What a case of a lifetime of hunting geese, only to be pecked in the eye by a goose.
Yang Jiu Lie slowly raised his head: "No matter how you alter the Four Seasons Array, its power is not enough to hold the two of us. Boy, are you ready? After I break the array, I will execute you by Lingchi!"
His voice, infinitely sinister!
He raised his hand, a bronze array pen appeared in it, pointing forward!
That place was the Array Eye.
Lin Xiaosu could see the Array Eye of the Four Seasons Array, Yang Jiu Lie could also see the Array Eye of this altered array.
With his Enlightenment Realm cultivation, and the array power accumulated over hundreds of years, breaking this trapping array was naturally a matter of ease, without suspense.
However, just as the array pen rapidly enlarged, forcefully piercing towards the Array Eye with an unstoppable momentum...
Lin Xiaosu lightly waved his hand!
In front of the Array Eye, a Void Rift!
Poof!
Yang Jiu Lie’s array pen plunged into the Void Rift, and the pen tip shattered instantly.
Yang Jiu Lie was shocked: "Space Law!"
Yin Jiuyou was equally shaken, staring at the rift, jaw dropped.
Space Law!
How could this be possible?
"Surprised, aren’t you?" Lin Xiaosu said leisurely, "I have long told you, your Kun Cang Enlightenment Realm isn’t all that remarkable!"
Yang Jiu Lie’s face twisted in rage, finally losing the demeanor of an enlightened master: "Your Space Law is just superficial, you can’t harm me at all!"
"Oh really? Then witness the combination of Space Law and ’Patrol Array’!"
Lin Xiaosu’s left hand stretched out, drawing an exquisite trajectory.
The terrifying rift suddenly swept towards Yang Jiu Lie.
Yang Jiu Lie’s heart was pounding, he dodged frantically.
The Void Rift swallows everything, whether you are in the Enlightenment Realm or the State of "Holding," meeting it means death, nothing can resist it.
You can’t block it, only evade it.
He successfully evaded it, but his mind was in turmoil, feeling as if his soul was leaving his body: "This is impossible... space cannot move, it’s a cardinal rule!"
As he screamed crazily, Lin Xiaosu’s voice came: "Space cannot move, true enough, but, the array under your feet is a Patrol Array, arrays can move!"
As the voice fell, the speed of the Void Rift’s movement suddenly increased tenfold.
No, this wasn’t space moving, it was the array beneath him moving.
The array moved, carrying Yang Jiu Lie to constantly smash into the Void Rift, equivalent to the Void Rift crashing into him. It’s akin to two different methods of killing fish — some stab fish with a knife, Indians fix the knife and push the fish against it.
No matter which method, if Yang Jiu Lie touches this deadly rift, no matter his otherworldly abilities, death would be inevitable.
Yin Jiuyou’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest...
He too was within the array at the moment. Although Lin Xiaosu wasn’t aiming to push him into the Void Rift, his brother’s dire situation was clear to him — how could this kid possibly possess such Divine Skills?
Clearly not yet at the Observing Heaven stage, yet able to threaten giants of the enlightenment realm.
At this moment, Lin Xiaosu’s voice came through: "Master Yin, now is the time for you to make a choice! Kill Yang Jiu Lie with your own hands and secure your position as the sole master of the Yin Yang Temple!"
"Young Master Lin, let’s talk this over, no need to be so decisive," Yin Jiuyou said.
"Haha, Master Yin, are you naive, or do you think I, Lin Xiaosu, am naive? The situation before us cannot end well, but if you’re willing to kill Yang Jiu Lie, you’ll be the sole master of the Yin Yang Temple. If you don’t want brotherly conflict, that’s fine too, I’ll kill both of you and erase the Yin Yang Temple from existence!" Lin Xiaosu’s voice was cold: "You have only three breaths’ time, any wayward thoughts after this phase, there will be no opportunity to repent!"
Yin Jiuyou abruptly fixed his stance.
In his eyes, a chilling light surged.
Just as Yang Jiu Lie used the Taoist Nine Shadows Body Technique to dodge the Void Rift’s attack, he caught sight of Yin Jiuyou’s eyes.
Yang Jiu Lie’s heart raced: "Junior brother, you really..."
His voice was utterly wretched.
"Senior brother, all these years, your suppression knew no bounds, you have long betrayed the camaraderie of our early days, today, don’t blame your junior for acting ruthlessly!"
As the words fell, Yin Jiuyou’s True Essence transformed, his height towering over thirty feet!
A palm strike unleashed!
Covering the heavens and earth!
Yang Jiu Lie roared furiously, his body suddenly also stretched taller, also reaching thirty feet!
Both were standard Enlightenment Realms, when exerting full power, even reaching a hundred feet was not uncommon, but within the great array, their combat power was suppressed to a mere tenth.
Even just a tenth, but the full-blown clash of Enlightenment Realm, what an earth-shattering momentum!
Boom!
The earth trembled, the mountains swayed.
Feng Ji’s heart shook greatly, would this strike destroy the great array?
Fortunately, after a moment’s tremor, the great array operated as usual.
Yin Jiuyou was utterly desperate.
A moment ago, he had harbored some thoughts, this strike, if it could collapse the great array, it would mean the brothers had joined forces to break Lin Xiaosu’s siege, and then, he would reconcile with his brother.
But alas, under Lin Xiaosu’s control, the great array was too formidable, even the combined might of the two Enlightenment Realms couldn’t break through, leaving extreme measures as the only recourse!
He waved his hand, suddenly countless leaves appeared in the air.
The leaves fluttered, shooting towards Yang Jiu Lie.
"Taoist Thousand Leaves!" Yang Jiu Lie roared: "Junior brother, you’re serious this time..."
"What’s real or not?" Yin Jiuyou waved his large sleeve, the thousand leaves turned into a thousand sharp blades, shooting towards Yang Jiu Lie.
Yang Jiu Lie’s Taoist Robe parted: "Lonely Platform Lamp!"
As the voice fell, his figure suddenly rose taller.
A high platform formed under his feet, he stood atop the platform, with radiance enveloping behind his head, such is the wondrousness of the Lonely Platform Lamp, shielding against all attacks!
Yin Jiuyou’s Taoist Thousand Leaves soared gracefully, but midway, they fell one after another.
It was clear by this, even on pure cultivation, Yang Jiu Lie surpassed Yin Jiuyou by a level.
As the two Enlightenment Realms unleashed their ultimate techniques, the great array’s gleaming flow also flickered, seemingly unable to withstand such caliber of clash.
