Chapter 584 - 265: I Know There’s a Misunderstanding, but What Does That Have to Do with Me Wanting to Kill Someone? (2)

At that time, the Old Dragon Emperor used only the highest standards to look at the current cultivators.

He believed the human race was quite impressive and creative.

The cultivation industry had developed for so many years, and such level of array formations should have been the norm long ago for array masters.

Thus, he forced Lu Wenwu to learn a lot.

Whether actively or passively, he memorized it with his mind and body.

You might not know how to build it, but at least you should know how to solve it.

So, as soon as Lu Wenwu entered Celestial Secret City, he discovered the incomplete grand array, which the cultivators of the Immortal Dao Alliance had patched up with some messy "codes" and barely made it run in a strange way.

However, the Old Dragon Emperor never expected that such an important and powerful array inheritance like the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Slaying Array would face severance in its home of the human race.

It could only be said that for short-lived species, trying to preserve something for as long as possible is quite challenging.

Along the way, all sorts of inexplicable things happen, resulting in a series of baffling accidents.

What can survive to this day must have both strength and quality, and somewhat good luck.

Of course, this was convenient for Lu Wenwu.

Even before the grand auction began, he had already sent Mao Mao and the Celestial Fire Demon God out to make minor adjustments to the grand array according to his strategy guide.

A scholar with a full set of designs and familiarity with various backdoors, launching a sneak attack on a group of students who had self-studied with incomplete blueprints...

Stealing control and leaving some contingencies was almost effortlessly easy.

Any array, during its construction and design phase, would inevitably leave behind a backdoor.

This serves as a life-saving method for the designer and operator.

Just that Five Elements Array Venerable did not know how.

What?

Can Mao Mao and the Celestial Fire Demon God defeat the Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators on guard?

What a joke?

Beside the Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God, you call Mao Mao a Xiu Dog and the Celestial Fire Demon God a Soul Pendant, and I don’t argue with you.

But out there, what should you call this combination?

Mao: The Quasi-Demon God at the half-step Divinity Transformation, a pure-blooded Divine Beast Huo Dou, the Sun-Devouring Divine Monarch’s inheritor, trained in the Foundation Level Technique Celestial Dog Eating Moon Technique, the demon giant demon munching hundreds of Golden Cores as snacks, an absolute fierce beast that could bite off a Peak Nascent Soul’s head in one bite, a top millionaire with fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones and two hundred million ordinary spirit stones.

At the same time, there’s the Celestial Fire Demon God, who once almost ascended and had been the pinnacle fire attribute demon god’s soul and world spirit for thousands of years!

What is this?

Isn’t this simply a heavenly prodigy with a top-level godfather?

Putting this duo into the Doupo World, it is akin to Xiao Yan starting with Ninth-Turned Dou Venerable peak strength, Purifying Lotus Demon Fire, fully activated Xiao Family Divine-grade Emperor Bloodline, Celestial Rank Supreme Technique, and free access to the Little Pill Tower’s resources.

Plus, in the ring, there’s the peak half-Emperor level Void Devouring Flame.

This would be considered an absurd cheat setting even in brainless escalation fantasy novels with extra-large plots.

Even Soul Emperor would curse half an hour before disintegrating peacefully.

In this kind of setup, unless they encounter a late-stage Divinity Transformation, they could ravage all around.

If not for Lu Wenwu repeatedly urging: do not make a move unless necessary, and hide as much as possible.

With Mao Mao’s personality, eagerly greeting everyone with its tongue out, the Celestial Fire Demon God might have already defeated legions of Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Picking Mao Mao alone, it is truly fierce.

Just that Lu Wenwu has overshadowed its glory.

But Xiu Dog doesn’t care, Xiu Dog just knows playing with its master is happiness!

Xiu Dog doesn’t need to establish a family!

The ruins of the grand auction...

Oh, there are no ruins anymore.

Centered on the grand auction, everything within a two-kilometer radius has turned into flat ground covered with a layer of dark orange metallic liquid.

The molten metal liquid gathered together, pouring into the cracks opened in the earth.

If not for the prior blockade of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Slaying Array, the entire Celestial Secret City might have ceased to exist—though now it isn’t much better, with only the vast outer city and a small inner circle remaining.

"Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, stop beating around the bush, what exactly do you want?"

Saint Venerable Heng Ru racked his brains thinking how to help everyone escape, constantly probing Lu Wenwu’s true intentions.

"Although it sounds strange, I observe that you seem not to be a bloodthirsty person. Moreover, since you restrained us, you have not immediately begun a slaughter, so I think you must have some demands."

"Demands? I don’t really have any demands." Lu Wenwu shrugged, "Oh... if you could give me some Nascent Souls and Primordial Spirits, I would be very grateful. Or the lifebound flying sword of a sword cultivator would do, those are quite tasty."

Tasty... tasty?

Infinite Sword Venerable nearly burst with anger.

Saint Venerable Heng Ru almost lost his composure again.

Opening your mouth and asking for Primordial Spirits and Nascent Souls, who wouldn’t think you’re a demonic cultivator?

Even Master Kong Liao’s expression stiffened, perhaps not expecting such an outrageous request from Lu Wenwu.

Saint Venerable Heng Ru endured and squeezed out a wry smile: "Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, this request I cannot fulfill, please ask for another..."

"Another one?"

Lu Wenwu crossed his arms and leisurely approached Saint Venerable Heng Ru.

Four eyes met, directly facing the overwhelming killing aura, Saint Venerable Heng Ru felt cold sweat down his back, and the vast righteous qi within him was wilting.

"Confucian Sect, Vast Righteous Qi... tsk, and you call yourself a scholar?"

Scanning Saint Venerable Heng Ru up and down, he clicked his tongue lightly.

Then he reached out and grabbed the Ancient Bronze Soul Suppressing Bell in his hand.

"This bell is interesting, it’s mine now."

Saint Venerable Heng Ru’s divine sense was not strong, unable to completely refine the Soul Suppressing Bell.

Lu Wenwu’s soul power surged like a river, instantly crushing the other’s divine sense imprint, and quickly seizing absolute control over the Immortal Ancient Relic.

Saint Venerable Heng Ru’s face turned pale, an even greater shock in his eyes.

In this vast cultivation realm, even excluding whether any loose immortals truly exist, he prided himself on his strong divine sense and ranked among the top three.

Yet the Immortal Ancient Relic, notoriously hard to refine, was scrubbed of divine sense imprint by the other in moments and refined within breaths?

It had taken him over a year to gain preliminary control initially!

Watching the gradual transformation of the ancient bronze Soul Suppressing Bell, Saint Venerable Heng Ru felt an overwhelming sense of confusion.

If trading this Soul Suppressing Bell could save everyone’s lives, shouldn’t it be the utmost...

Before he could finish contemplating, Lu Wenwu’s next words made him see stars.

"Here’s the deal, since I’m temporarily undecided on what to have you guys do, just swear under the Heavenly Dao Oath."

The half-human, half-dragon Lu Wenwu tossed the increasingly refined Soul Suppressing Bell up and down, speaking lazily, as if somewhat unmotivated.

"All of you owe me a task, once I figure out what you should do, you must comply. Even if I ask you to slaughter your own sect, you have to do it."

"Of course, you can choose not to, only the heaven’s punishment is no biggie... merely ten times more potent than an ascension tribulation, nothing too severe, manageable with some skill."

"Impossible!"

"You are going too far!"

Five Elements Array Venerable and Infinite Sword Venerable roared simultaneously, their eyes filled with indescribable rage.

"Calm down, calm down... I haven’t finished speaking yet, hundreds or thousands of years old and still so impulsive."

Lu Wenwu gestured with both hands, a suffocating oppressive force enveloped the two like a judge circling half the names in the Book of Life and Death.

Seeing the two instantly calm down, he then revealed a sunny and cheerful smile, continuing.

"You might have misunderstood, I wasn’t just referring to you eight."

"I mean everyone in this grand array!"

"What!"

This statement caused an uproar.
