Chapter 298 - 297: Celestial Thunder Array
Looking in from the outside.
Inside the Spatial Domain, the laws of physics were being violated.
It was as if everything was disintegrating, space itself shattering like a mirror.
The edges of the Domain reflected all sorts of bizarre sights.
The neon lights of the city, the roars of Star Beasts in the mountain forests, waves crashing against a lighthouse, and even the faint projections of citizens miles away... Scenes from different spaces were all reflected here, contained within the barrier.
"Young Master! What is the meaning of this?!"
Liu Wushuang shouted from outside the Domain.
"Why have you shut me out?"
"Elder Wushuang, I told you before I came that you could join this battle, but only on the condition that you follow my commands completely."
Facing Liu Wushuang’s interrogation, Qin Yang remained calm. He split his focus, using his Clone to maintain the Domain while placating Liu Wushuang.
"And now is precisely when I need you!"
"Hm?"
Liu Wushuang was stunned, staring at the Spatial Domain’s barrier in utter confusion. "How does teleporting me out here help you in any way? Stop messing around, Young Master! Let me in, quickly!"
"I swear I won’t hold you back!"
As the words left Liu Wushuang’s mouth, a sudden silence fell over the Domain.
Several seconds of silence passed.
Inside, Qin Yang lowered his gaze, seemingly contemplating his words with great gravity while Liu Wushuang began striking the barrier, trying to force a way into the Array.
But soon, Qin Yang’s reply reached Liu Wushuang’s ears.
"After it’s all over, you can collect our bodies."
Qin Yang spread his hands, standing in a line with the other Venerables. "The Heaven-Blasting Gang has mobilized. All my seniors are here, and the Beast God Sect is here today as well. We will therefore enact divine punishment and annihilate them in this trap... Even in death, we will have no regrets."
As his voice fell,
"???"
Inside the Domain, the Nine Celestial Venerables heard this and tugged at his robes, completely dumbfounded.
’What kind of reverse trap is this?’
’You set a trap?’
’We were the ones who laid the trap!’
"This is bad!"
At that moment, as this thought struck the Nine Celestial Venerables and Meng Tianxuan, they suddenly realized something. Their expressions turned incredibly ugly as understanding finally dawned.
No wonder the Heaven-Blasting Gang had been so cold and merciless before.
Qin Yang and his people could have left, but they had insisted on waiting for the Ten Fierce Array to activate, remaining in place and even abandoning Li Zixuan.
In the end!
They never planned on making it back alive.
They were all here to self-destruct!
’After all this...’
’I’m the turtle in the jar?!’
"The Heaven-Blasting Gang really is a bunch of lunatics."
The Nine Celestial Venerables numbly clenched the corner of his robe and looked at Meng Tianxuan beside him. "Senior Brother, how did you provoke these kinds of..."
"What are you spacing out for, Junior Brother!"
Seeing this, Meng Tianxuan broke out in a panicked sweat and smacked him on the back of the head, his eyes blazing with fury. "Keep activating the Ten Fierce Array! If we don’t crush these lunatics, we’re both screwed when they really fucking self-destruct!"
His words were a harsh wake-up call!
The Nine Celestial Venerables snapped back to his senses. He looked up at the sky again and, without further hesitation, raised his hand in a grasping motion while chanting an ancient, profound mantra.
BOOM!
The Ten Fierce Array began to operate once more!
Qiongqi and Taotie opened their fanged maws. The Ancient Giant Beasts seemed to swallow the heavens and devour the sun, as if the world was returning to the primordial Chaos at the dawn of time...
The ten colossal Fierce Beasts strode closer. With every move, they stirred the Star Force. The heavy, lead-gray clouds parted, and a vast mist spread out...
...
Miles away in Jianghai City, the ceaseless sounds of traffic were drowned out as the sonic wave of a Fierce Beast’s roar swept over the metropolis, silencing all other noise.
A tremendous boom erupted!
On the streets, every citizen turned in unison to look toward the city gates. Dark clouds pressed down upon the city, shot through with surging bolts of lightning. Faintly, the towering phantom of a colossal beast could be seen, reaching from the earth to the sky, as high as a mountain range piercing the heavens.
Even in the city center, a terrifying aura could be felt drifting over, blanketing everyone. Fear spread like spilled ink...
"Holy shit, what’s going on? An earthquake?!"
"Look at the sky over there! It’s completely black!"
"A Beast Tide? Don’t tell me another fucking Beast Tide is here!?"
"No way! The last one just ended a short while ago. How long has it even been?"
"Alright, everyone, let’s not overthink it."
A middle-aged man with a cigarette dangling from his lips tried to console himself, his hand trembling. "If one was really coming, the Star Martial Police Bureau would have sounded the alar—"
But before he could finish his sentence,
WEE-WOO—
An alarm siren blared overhead!
It shrieked madly like a cuckoo announcing a death, and the voice from the Star Martial Police Bureau’s city-wide speakers echoed above them.
"Attention all citizens! Breaking news: an emergency has been declared on the Jianghai Border Line. All citizens are advised to remain indoors and not approach the Da Li Mountain Range..."
The broadcast ended.
The man with the cigarette froze, spilling embers all over his pants.
"Holy shit?!"
...
「Da Li Mountain Range.」
Turbulent currents surged high in the sky.
Within the dark, gloomy fog, phantoms of ferocious Fierce Beasts coiled, flexing their claws as if trying to break free from their worldly shackles.
"Let’s see how you handle this!"
The Nine Celestial Venerables formed a Mantra Seal with both hands, a crazed look on his face. He continuously controlled the Ten Fierce Array, tightening its grip in an attempt to completely compress the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s room for movement.
’This is not good,’
Standing outside the Domain, Liu Wushuang watched the array contract, breaking into a cold sweat for Qin Yang and his men.
Inside the Domain.
The black mist swirled.
’Good timing. This is a perfect opportunity to test the power of my new Clone Technique.’
Qin Yang’s expression was composed. He glanced at the nearest Venerable, giving him a meaningful look. A thought was transmitted, and the Venerable immediately understood his orders.
SWOOSH!
His robes billowed.
He strode forward, charging straight for Meng Tianxuan below, his body descending like a thunderbolt!
The force behind him was as heavy as Mount Tai!
Qin Yang had already implanted the runes of the Thunder Heaven Array inside these Clones. The runes flowed ceaselessly along their meridians. Coupled with the boost from his own power, which was approaching the Celestial Venerable Realm, they had long possessed the capability to annihilate Meng Tianxuan!
"Activate," Qin Yang uttered softly, giving the indifferent command.
On this day, above the Da Li Mountain Range, inky clouds stretched for miles across the sky. Lightning snaked through them like roaming dragons. A single figure became a fuse, plummeting downward.
The next moment,
CRACK!
A small corner of the Ten Fierce Array shattered!
The phantom of one of the Fierce Beasts dissipated, and the Venerable broke through the mist, flying straight toward Meng Tianxuan.
"Damn it! He’s heading this way!"
The Nine Celestial Venerables and Meng Tianxuan watched the Venerable hurtling toward them, instantly sensing the danger.
That was no Venerable!
It was clearly a human bomb!
"Block him!"
Meng Tianxuan flipped his palm and struck out at the incoming Clone, attempting to block it with his own Star Force.
BOOM!
Two terrifying forces collided.
But it was useless!
Up in the sky,
The Heaven-Blasting Gang’s Venerable passed right through the palm strike, moving like a fish through water. With every breath, he let out a shocking thunderclap. It was as if divine punishment itself was falling from the heavens, tearing through the clouds. Meng Tianxuan and the others had nowhere to hide and no way to run!
"It’s going to blow!"
The expressions of the Nine Celestial Venerables and Meng Tianxuan changed drastically. They trembled uncontrollably as they frantically channeled the Star Force within their bodies, raising a vast Star Curtain.
In an instant!
A human figure plummeted straight down. The ground exploded with a deafening roar, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
Space itself trembled!
