Chapter 779: Forceful Shattering of the Clan-Protecting Grand Array

Boom!

A black-and-white pillar of light pierced through heaven and earth, shooting out from the Clan-Protecting Grand Array. Its radiance spread across hundreds of thousands of miles, carrying an overwhelming aura of destruction.

Wherever it passed, space vanished in utter silence—like an eraser wiping away ink from paper, leaving nothing behind.

Clean, flawless, without a trace.

Facing such an attack, Liu Xi's entire body was enveloped by dazzling golden light—layer upon layer, like endless tides in the sea, spreading outward in steady waves.

When the black-and-white pillar arrived a myriad meters before him, it stepped into Liu Xi's divine domain. The instant it entered the golden tidal glow, its speed rapidly slowed, the light column gradually dissolving under the pressure of the surging golden brilliance.

By the time it reached not far before Liu Xi, the Spiritual Energy within the pillar had already been reduced to less than one-tenth of what it was. Yet even at that level, it was still enough to kill a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

But the one before it… was Liu Xi.

He clenched his right hand into a fist. Facing the pillar, all he did was casually swing forward. Yet with that single punch, endless divine power erupted. The entire world was instantly drowned in gold.

The black-and-white pillar exploded violently. A fierce shockwave burst forth, racing backward along the light column—everything it touched detonating into fragments.

The raging power storm tore its way all the way back into the Clan-Protecting Grand Array. A loud bang echoed across heaven and earth as one corner of the grand array collapsed outright.

A massive rupture appeared where the array shattered—like a deep, devouring black hole. Boundless Spiritual Energy leaked out wildly, billions of rays erupting like a storm.

The surrounding array patterns shone brightly, as if revitalized. Layers of Spiritual Imprints fluttered frantically, attempting to repair the breach.

But Liu Xi gave them no chance.

With divine power surging, the golden radiance descended like molten mercury—rushing straight into the opening of the clan-protecting array.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

It was like jamming a metal rod into the gears of a precise machine—its entire mechanism immediately malfunctioned, and even its operational rhythm faltered drastically.

What followed was Liu Xi's full display of divine might. He rampaged within the Buddha Clan's Clan-Protecting Grand Array, each punch and kick carrying unfathomable power.

The grand array that covered the entire Pagoda Realm—so massive that no one could grasp its full extent—was like a hulking giant: enormous strength, but utterly useless before Liu Xi's invasion.

At the distant spatial gate, Zi Yan and Qing Lin had followed behind Liu Xi. Seeing him tear through such an enormous array with such ease, both felt an uncontrollable surge of admiration.

"Hubby is just too strong… watching him makes my whole body go soft."

Zi Yan giggled sweetly. The Scorpio Poison Dragon Beast, the Ancient Dragon Bear, the Deepsea Flood Dragon… so many draconic bloodlines—all pointed to one simple truth:

—Dragon nature.

Ever since Zi Yan matured, the number of times she hungered after Liu Xi's body far surpassed the number of times he hungered after hers.

"Exactly." Qing Lin nodded rapidly, heart pounding, unable to conceal the tremor in her voice as she watched Liu Xi.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The massive Clan-Protecting Grand Array ruptured again and again—one dark abyss-like hole after another opening wherever Liu Xi smashed through.

Golden radiance surged into each breach, completely preventing the array from repairing. What once could barely maintain operation now dimmed rapidly under Liu Xi's violent dismantling.

Behind the array, countless Buddha Clan experts watched with pale faces as Liu Xi blasted hole after hole into their sacred grand array. They had no power to resist. None.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

With Liu Xi's final punch, the already riddled grand array collapsed completely, unable to bear the strain. Billions of rays scattered as the array dissolved.

A devastating Spiritual Energy storm swept across hundreds of thousands of miles, overturning the once grand, majestic Pagoda Realm from top to bottom.

Liu Xi withdrew his divine power, and Spiritual Sense erupted outward, blanketing the entire Pagoda Realm within moments. He quickly found what he was searching for.

He moved instantly, body turning into a faint shadow streaking through the sky, vanishing from sight.

Zi Yan and Qing Lin exchanged a glance, then followed immediately—dodging the raging Spiritual Energy storm as they flew into the depths of the Pagoda Realm.

Deep within the realm, a grand, solemn palace stood tall. Before it—

A dense crowd had gathered. Every single person here was incredibly powerful. The weakest had reached Perfect Earth Sovereign. The strongest—such as the head of the Xuan Lineage, Xuan Guang, or the head of the Mo Lineage, Mo Tong—were Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.

All of them were pale, trembling.

Their eyes were filled with nothing but fear. A cold, sinking dread clung to their hearts.

Suddenly—

A faint shadow shot through the air, descending lightly before them.

His azure robe rippled gently as Liu Xi appeared—expression indifferent, one hand held before him, the other behind his back, every gesture exuding refined elegance.

His gaze swept across the crowd. He recognized many faces: Xuan Guang, Mo Tong, Qing Tian… The first two he had beaten—and even taken hostage. The last one had been the one who came to ransom them.

When Liu Xi's eyes swept past them, the entire group of Buddha Clan experts lowered their heads. None dared meet his gaze. They looked like frightened quails, wishing the ground would open so they could hide.

Where was the dignity of Heavenly Sovereigns?

Where was the majesty of a so-called Ancient Clan?

They had watched firsthand as Liu Xi destroyed Pagoda City… and shattered their Clan-Protecting Grand Array.

Under the weight of that terror, they didn't even dare breathe too loudly, fearing one wrong sound would cost them their lives.

Liu Xi frowned. He still couldn't sense Qing Yanjing's aura here. Logically, if she were anywhere in the Pagoda Realm, nothing should be able to hide her from him.

He stepped forward.

The Buddha Clan experts stepped back in unison.

He stepped again.

They retreated again.

Liu Xi alone overpowered the entire clan. Not a single person dared face him.

Forced back until they could retreat no further, the Buddha Clan experts instinctively parted to the sides—opening a path.

Liu Xi frowned slightly and walked forward, heading straight to the main seat. He turned and sat down calmly.

The next moment, Zi Yan and Qing Lin arrived. Seeing the scene, both women became mischievous. They rushed to his sides—one massaging his shoulders, one pounding his legs.

Two peerlessly beautiful women—one regal and proud, the other coldly alluring—serving like attendants.

The sight completely shattered Liu Xi's image as an untouchable powerhouse… and made him look more like an idle, pampered young master.

Liu Xi couldn't hold back a helpless smile. He reached out and rubbed Zi Yan's soft purple hair. Then he looked down at the trembling Buddha Clan experts and spoke coldly.

"Tell me—where is Qing Yanjing?"
