Chapter 568: The Yu Family's Forbidden Array

Under everyone's watchful eyes, just as the barrage of ferocious attacks was about to overwhelm Ye Chen, he suddenly moved!

A vast, ancient dragon's roar suddenly echoed between heaven and earth. A phantom image of a True Dragon soared into the sky, its mighty aura seeming to suppress the entire world and shake the very heavens!

The first thing to disintegrate was the cyan hurricane.

Ye Chen threw a single, casual punch, and the hurricane shuddered violently as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

It was like smashing against a towering, unbreachable Divine Mountain; it ultimately scattered in all directions, failing to affect Ye Chen in the slightest.

Next came the black ripples.

Driven by Yu Sanqiu, the Soul-Suppressing Banner unleashed astonishing power. The black ripples layered over one another like ocean waves; the moment they dispersed, they would instantly reform, seemingly endless and enough to plunge one into despair.

But as the True Dragon's phantom image flew past, the countless black ripples melted away like snow under a warm sun.

Yu Sanqiu's expression changed drastically. He had wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, but due to the backlash from their connected auras, he was also affected. He let out a muffled grunt, nearly dropping the Soul-Suppressing Banner in his hand!

Finally, it was Xiao Long's turn.

Facing this martial arts fanatic who wielded a meteor hammer with wide, sweeping, and overwhelmingly powerful attacks, Ye Chen showed no intention of backing down.

He met the charge head-on, relying on nothing but his bare fists to forcibly beat back the flurry of hammer shadows.

"You truly live up to your name as the number one expert in the Dongxuan Province Cultivation Realm. To be this powerful at such a young age—and this isn't even your Peak strength!"

"In all the thousands of years of the Black Triangle's history, has there ever been such a prodigy?"

Fearless and undaunted, Xiao Long's fighting spirit surged like a tidal wave.

He swung his meteor hammer, and every shadow it cast kicked up an earth-shattering shockwave, as if intending to shatter the world and crack open the void. His methods were exceedingly crude, yet utterly eye-catching.

But Ye Chen, not to be outdone, clashed head-on with the meteor hammer over a hundred times in the blink of an eye, using only his fists.

His fists seemed to be forged from immortal divine metal, incredibly sturdy. No matter what Xiao Long tried, he couldn't shake this pair of iron fists.

The experts from the Yu family stared blankly at the scene, a tempest raging in their hearts.

Who could believe that a young man with no Spiritual Cultivation could fight the three top-tier experts of the Black Triangle to a standstill, still not losing ground?

The members of the Huo family, amid their shock, breathed a secret sigh of relief.

It was clear that everything seemed to be within Ye Chen's control. The situation had not yet reached an irreversible point.

"This can't go on!"

"We can't let this brat continue to act so wantonly!"

Yu Sanqiu was growing furious. The successive setbacks had left him feeling utterly indignant.

"Form the array!"

His voice was like thunder, shaking the heavens.

The experts of the Yu family immediately reacted. Each took up a position and began to channel their full cultivation.

Countless intersecting patterns appeared in the sky as a massive Forbidden Array materialized, emitting an aura so immense it made one's heart tremble!

"They set up a Forbidden Array here long ago! They were just waiting for us to walk right into their trap!"

Huo Wuji's gaze was solemn. He could, of course, tell that this Forbidden Array had likely been reinforced long ago, just waiting for the right moment to be activated to catch them completely off guard.

It was also meant to prevent any of them from slipping through the net and escaping.

But who would have thought that Ye Chen, this unexpected variable, would appear and force them to reveal their hidden Forbidden Array?

RUMBLE...

The Array began to operate, letting out a series of massive roars.

Empowered by the Yu family's killing array, the qi and blood in Yu Sanqiu's body surged ever more violently. He resembled a colossal, towering deity, so immense and vast that none could look directly at him.

"To die under this Forbidden Array can be considered your honor!"

Yu Sanqiu's face was grim. Bolstered by the Array, he felt his power become incredibly frenzied, giving him more confidence in dealing with Ye Chen.

However, he wasn't particularly happy about it.

Being forced to this extent by a young man with no cultivation was, without a doubt, an utter humiliation. It was too shameful to even speak of.

'The power of an array, is it...?'

Ye Chen frowned.

Yu Sanqiu himself was at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm. With the power of the other Yu family experts amplifying him, his aura was approaching the Divine Might Realm, even surpassing that of the martial fanatic, Xiao Long.

Even Ye Chen now felt a powerful threat!

'My current strength... I still haven't recovered enough.'

Ye Chen felt a sense of helplessness.

'If only I could have gotten my hands on the Cyan Dragon's flame seed, why would I even be stuck fighting characters like these for so long?'

'I would have suppressed all of them long ago!'

"Ye Chen, let's see how you turn this around now!"

Yu Sanqiu rose into the air, his robes fluttering though there was no wind. Mighty Spiritual Power flowed through his limbs like a great river, endless and inexhaustible, and his aura was overwhelmingly immense.

"Using an array already?"

"I was hoping to exchange a few more moves with the kid. Looks like that's not happening."

Xiao Long watched the scene and couldn't help but shrug.

He knew, of course, just how much effort Yu Sanqiu and the others had spent to set up this grand array.

This was the Yu family's foremost killing array. Its killing moves were exceptionally sharp, and it could gather the power of many to bolster the array's controller. Its methods were flexible, varied, and profound.

No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he ultimately had no Spiritual Cultivation.

With Yu Sanqiu attacking with the combined power of all the Yu family's experts, how could he possibly fail to deal with a young man who had no cultivation?

"We have no choice. Delays breed complications, and we don't have time to drag this out," Qiu Chenfeng said lightly. "None of us expected this kid to be so difficult to handle. Since the three of us together couldn't take him down, we have no choice but to use our trump card."

"Speaking of trump cards... when does your Black Tiger Tribe plan on revealing yours?" Xiao Long glanced at Qiu Chenfeng, a faint, unreadable smile on his face.

Qiu Chenfeng's brow furrowed slightly. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you perhaps referring to..."

"I'm referring to that Spiritual Treasure, of course! We both know this full well," Xiao Long said.

Qiu Chenfeng fell silent.

'He knew perfectly well that Xiao Long was referring to the legendary Void Level Spiritual Treasure that was said to have belonged to the Profound Mirror Celestial Master: the Seven Fiends Cold-Gold Spear!'

It was precisely because the Black Tiger Tribe had obtained the Seven Fiends Cold-Gold Spear that they were able to severely wound a Patriarch-level figure like Huo Qiguang, leaving him bedridden and immobile to this day!

Qiu Chenfeng pondered for a long moment before finally replying, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Fellow Daoist Xiao."

"A Spiritual Treasure of that caliber is exceedingly precious. It's not something I can use so easily."

"Is that so?" Xiao Long said noncommittally. "It's a bit of a shame not to be able to witness the power of a Void Level Spiritual Treasure."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Qiu Chenfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. "You should be able to see it very soon."
