Chapter 313 - 272: Devouring the Dark Demon Dragon, The Array is Complete, The Crisis Has Just Begun
BUZZ! BUZZ!
The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with light, and a series of distorted images appeared before Xu Qing’s eyes. Within these scenes, it was as if he had entered an ancient, wild era.
Here,
Xu Qing saw all sorts of terrifying, colossal beasts. Even the smallest among them was as large as a mountain, while the truly massive ones were as immense as stars.
They were truly, utterly terrifying.
Just then,
Xu Qing saw a Devouring Python. It was enormous, fighting and slaughtering its way across the Ancient Wilderness Continent, devouring flesh and blood to grow, step by step.
Finally,
after devouring enough flesh and blood, this Devouring Python grew further. Its body expanded once more, and its power increased.

[Cabbage Flower Snake LV41: 15 Trillion / 10 Trillion (Upgradeable!) (Has mastered ten percent of both the Devouring Law and Space Law…)]
…
ROAR!!!
Having broken through Level 40, the Cabbage Flower Snake’s body grew even larger as it underwent a transformation. In a short time, its massive ten-thousand-meter-long body stretched to twenty thousand meters—a full ten-thousand-meter increase.
“This King Beast… it got stronger again…”
“Hiss…”
“This King Beast just devoured the Dark Demon Dragon. It broke through.”
“How terrifying!”
“…”
Everyone cried out in astonishment.
“Continue,” Xu Qing said. “Upgrade the Cabbage Flower Snake.”
Soon, the Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with light.
Xu Qing once again saw the same scene. It was as if he had entered a primeval world, his consciousness descending upon a Devouring Python, experiencing its growth and transformation.
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Cabbage Flower Snake LV42: 5 Trillion / 20 Trillion (Has mastered twenty percent of both the Devouring Law and Space Law…)]
…
ROAR!!!
Immediately after,
the Cabbage Flower Snake transformed again, letting out a series of deafening roars that sounded like the wrath of heaven. Its enormous, twenty-thousand-meter-long body gradually grew and morphed, eventually reaching a length of thirty thousand meters.
Another ten-thousand-meter increase.
“Not bad.”
Xu Qing watched the Cabbage Flower Snake’s transformation and felt the power of the Level 42 Cabbage Flower Snake. He nodded in satisfaction. ’It really is powerful.’
Most importantly, Xu Qing had mastered the Beast Taming Technique and could wield the power of the Level 42 Cabbage Flower Snake.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
With a single thought,
Xu Qing raised his right hand. In his palm, the Devouring Law and the Space Law combined, and he too unleashed the Divine Technique ’Devouring Space’.
Evidently,
Xu Qing could control the power of the Level 42 Cabbage Flower Snake.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
RUMBLE!!!
At that moment,
Xu Qing heard the roars of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts and felt a massive tremor. The crowd was also shocked, their attention finally drawn to the changes in the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array.
In the time it took for the Cabbage Flower Snake and Wang Miao to join forces and annihilate the Dark Demon Dragon, Cangba Dao and the others had focused all their energy and finally returned the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts to their proper positions.
With that,
the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array was successfully deployed.
“The array is complete!”
BOOM!
Cangba Dao roared as he shot up from the high tower. An extremely powerful might surged from his body, and the Divine Beast Power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts coiled around him.
One could say that this mighty Divine Beast Power had an effect similar to Emperor Dragon Qi. Although it wasn’t as potent, it was still incredibly strong.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
BUZZ!
Golden Cicada put his palms together and slowly rose from the high tower. With his hands joined, Buddha’s Light shone everywhere, as if the Western Paradise had manifested. The power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts also swirled around him.
“Infinite Celestial Venerable.”
BOOM!
Guanglingzi also appeared.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Immediately after,
Ye Qiuming, Cangxian Daoist, and Deng Chunqiu also shot out from the high towers one after another, ready to command the power of the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!!
The next moment,
a total of one hundred and two Venerable Ultimates appeared one by one. Each of them also possessed a portion of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts’ power.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Everyone looked up.
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
The Cangzhou Dao Bell chimed repeatedly. Invisible waves of sound spread out, accompanied by an expanding, formless barrier of light that enveloped the entire Cangzhou Prefecture.
At this very moment,
the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array was finally complete.
“Good, good, good.”
“We did it! We really did it!”
“The Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array is complete.”
“This is wonderful!”
“…”
The crowd was thrilled and excited.
Outside the city,
the Level 42 Cabbage Flower Snake had completed its transformation. Wang Miao, holding the Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod in his right hand, gazed calmly at the completed Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array.
“You’re celebrating too soon.”
Wang Miao took a deep breath. He retracted his gaze and looked toward the sky around Cangzhou Prefecture, sensing the emergence of various terrifying auras.
“The real crisis is only just beginning,”
Wang Miao said gravely.
Indeed.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array had used the power of the Ten Thousand Spirits and people to summon the power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts, which in turn fortified Cangzhou Prefecture, forming the array itself.
However,
summoning the power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts also attracted terrifying, mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits. These mindless entities would surely engulf the entire Cangzhou Prefecture.
Therefore,
the Dark Demon Dragon was merely an appetizer.
Now,
the real crisis was only just beginning.
“Everyone,”
Cangba Dao’s gaze was solemn as he said gravely, “Prepare for battle.”
“Alright.”
“What’s coming will come.”
“Even if we hadn’t set up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array, these mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits would have descended eventually. It was only a matter of time.”
“Now that we’ve completed the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array, we can protect all of Cangzhou Prefecture and borrow the power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts. This will increase our chances of victory.”
“Prepare for battle.”
“…”
the crowd shouted one after another.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The next moment,
a sudden, shocking change occurred. Everyone looked up to find that the sky had abruptly darkened. High above, a crescent Blood Moon had appeared.
It was as if the entire Cangzhou Prefecture had been dragged into an Alternate Space.
Everyone was utterly horrified.
A strange aura of a Law was spreading.
“This aura…”
Xu Qing frowned. The aura felt familiar. After a moment of contemplation, he remembered.
“It’s that ’Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman’.”
Xu Qing said in a low voice.
Indeed.
It was the same ’Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman’ that Xu Qing had encountered before. This time, however, the intensity of its aura was far greater, as if it had broken through to a higher, more powerful Realm.
That was why
everyone saw a Blood Moon, and the entire Cangzhou Prefecture had been pulled into the Fishing Space of the ’Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman’.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!!
The next moment,
the sky fractured, and countless thin lines and hooks descended. There were so many they were a dense, uncountable mass.
BANG! BANG! BANG!!!
But
the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array activated. A formless barrier of light manifested, blocking all the thin lines and hooks, preventing them from entering Cangzhou Prefecture.
Furthermore,
in addition to the protection from the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array, there was also the National Protection Array of the Great Zhou Martial Country.
With the protection of a dual array,
the ’Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman’ could not get its lines and hooks into Cangzhou Prefecture.
“Good, good, good.”
“The Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array is truly worthy of its name.”
“Yeah! Yeah!”
“All the lines and hooks from the ’Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman’ are blocked! They can’t enter Cangzhou Prefecture.”
“This is great!”
“…”
the people exclaimed, excited and thrilled.
BOOM!
The next moment,
an incomparably massive hand descended from the sky. The giant hand was simple and unadorned, passing through space and time to appear over Cangzhou Prefecture.
Most importantly,
this incomparably massive hand was merely a severed hand, cut off at the wrist. Just a single, simple, unadorned hand.
This hand slapped down upon the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array.
