Chapter 780 - 513: Exotic Beast of Candle Flame, Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array

Within this Grand Array, it seems only Candledragon is the sole Great Demon Beast guarding the place.

Apart from the central region where one can see, everywhere else is shrouded in mist.

This forbidden land spans about a hundred thousand miles—its vastness truly incomparable.

Even Candledragon has been trapped here all along; clearly, brute force alone can't break through this place.

Only by finding the exit of the forbidden area can one hope to leave.

Rumble—

The sounds of battle ahead echoed relentlessly; the Frost Demon Emperor realized her humanoid form was no match for Candledragon and instantly revealed her true self.

Fire and ice—two powers clashed together again and again in the heavens above.

At once, the skies dimmed and the world was cast into chaos; even the sun and moon lost their color before such a battle.

Only the strongest can contest here; it's not a matter that can be decided in a short time.

That battle raged for three days and nights before the two beasts finally began to exhaust their power.

[Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array: Entry Level!]

Finally, after three days of enlightenment, Lin Chang'sheng comprehended the array of this forbidden land to entry level.

He gained a deeper understanding of this region.

This array was marvelously intricate, composed of 108 Array Foundations, 6 Array Hubs, and 3 Array Plates.

No wonder even Demon Beasts at the Immortal Realm could be sealed here.

[Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array detected. Do you wish to consume 12,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify it?]

At that instant, a prompt popped up on the panel.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang'sheng chose simplification without hesitation.

Only by simplifying the array and cultivating it to perfection could he find a way to break through it.

[The Great Dao is Simple: Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array simplification in process... simplifying... completed. Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array == Seal Immortal!]

"Seal Immortal?"

Lin Chang'sheng muttered inwardly—how could that seal anything?

Was he really supposed to seal Immortal Realm experts himself?

No way!

By logic, the simplified version should be much easier than that.

"If I just carve the word 'Immortal' and cover it up with dirt, would that work?"

Lin Chang'sheng thought to himself, then traced the character for 'Immortal' into the ground and buried it with earth.

Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array Experience +1!

Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array Experience +1!

...

Instantly, the experience for Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array began skyrocketing wildly.

"It actually works!"

Joy filled Lin Chang'sheng's heart; if he could grind the Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array to Perfection, he was sure to break through it.

BOOM—

While Lin Chang'sheng was grinding array experience over here, up ahead the two Immortal Realm-level Demon Beasts unleashed another thunderous collision.

The Frost Demon Emperor was sent crashing to the ground by Candledragon's impact, gouging out a massive pit in the earth.

Both had suffered considerable injuries.

On the ground, the Frost Demon Emperor was scorched by flames, while Candledragon bore deep cuts from the frost, blood staining his scales.

In this fight, Candledragon clearly held the upper hand.

"No wonder you've inherited the Dragon Race's bloodline—your strength truly is overpowering!"

Lin Chang'sheng thought silently.

"Die!"

Candledragon roared, jaws agape in mid-air, unleashing endless flame upon the Frost Demon Emperor below.

The raw, divine might of his flame twisted the very air.

Seeing such an attack, the Frost Demon Emperor dared not be careless. She instantly pushed her Immortal Power to its limit, unleashing her Frost Power.

She struck with both palms, sending a surge of extreme cold charging forward.

Rumble—

In mid-air, Frost Profound Ice clashed violently with the Power of Fiery Flame—each impact resounding through the sky as the two forces battled for supremacy.

If Lin Chang'sheng were at the Immortal Realm now, he could deeply wound them both.

Unfortunately, with his current cultivation, he couldn't hope to injure either, so he could only watch.

After all, the Frost Demon Emperor wore Profound Ice Armor; without Immortal Realm cultivation, its defense couldn't be pierced.

Meanwhile, Candledragon's huge body was armored with thick dragon scales—ordinary attacks couldn't hope to break through.

All Lin Chang'sheng could do was wait for the right moment.

After a short stalemate in the sky, it was evident the power of flame was beginning to overwhelm the Frost Demon Emperor, encroaching on her position.

Seeing she couldn't win, the Frost Demon Emperor swiftly dodged away.

Rumble—

The force of Candledragon's flame fell upon her previous location, roaring explosively and leaving another deep crater in the scorched earth.

Dragonbreath blazed on, refusing to die out, burning on and on.

"Insignificant clown, you dare to act arrogant before me?"

Candledragon sneered, his gaze shifting to Lin Chang'sheng. "Boy, now it's your turn!"

With those words, Candledragon prepared to attack.

"Wait!"

Just as Candledragon was about to strike, Lin Chang'sheng raised his hand to stop him.

"Got any last words?"

Candledragon scoffed, convinced Lin Chang'sheng was just a coward clinging to life.

"You've been trapped in this place for years—surely you've thought about leaving?"

Lin Chang'sheng's words sent a jolt through Candledragon's heart.

Could it really be possible to leave after entering here?

If he could escape, he wouldn't have languished here for a thousand years.

"Ridiculous. If I could get out, would I still be stuck here?"

Candledragon retorted impatiently, refusing to believe this insignificant human had a way out.

"Just because you can't escape doesn't mean I can't. If you do as I say, I swear I can lead you out! Deal?"

Lin Chang'sheng smiled faintly.

He knew Candledragon was desperate after so many years—he'd surely want out.

As long as the other party wanted freedom, he'd have him in the palm of his hand.

"Oh?"

Candledragon was surprised; this kid seemed awfully confident that he could leave.

"How long till you break the array?"

Candledragon asked curiously.

"Depends—how quickly can you kill her?"

Lin Chang'sheng glanced at the Frost Demon Emperor, infuriating her.

This bastard clearly had no intention of letting her go!

Trying to make others do his dirty work.

"Aren't you two together?"

Candledragon was momentarily confused. Had he been tricked?

"We did come here together, but that doesn't mean we're on the same side!"

Lin Chang'sheng grinned. "Kill her, and I'll guarantee your escape from this place!"

"Fine, give me three days—I'll end her!"

Candledragon declared confidently, eyes fixed on the Frost Demon Emperor.

The Frost Demon Emperor sensed things turning grim and immediately turned to flee.

This Candledragon's strength truly couldn't be underestimated; fighting him to the brink, or even dying, simply wasn't worth it.

It was better to preserve strength and search for an array-breaking technique—a way out would be best.

However, even as she tried to dash away, Candledragon showed no mercy and immediately gave chase.

Maybe it was Candledragon's mastery over mist—whenever he drew near, the surrounding fog within ten miles parted, leaving the Frost Demon Emperor nowhere to hide.

Two Immortal Realm Demon Beasts, one fleeing, one pursuing, turned the forbidden place into living chaos, mountains shattered and stones collapsing all around.

That fight lasted another full two days.

[Mist Seal Immortal Illusion Array: Perfection!]

By now, Lin Chang'sheng had already comprehended the array to the Perfection Realm.

In an instant, all memories of the grand array surged into his mind.

Within mere moments, Lin Chang'sheng had mastered every Array Hub, Plate, and Foundation of the array.

"The exit is here?"

Lin Chang'sheng whispered, his gaze locking onto the mountain Candledragon had just circled.

This peak was the tallest in the entire forbidden area, right in the center.

Taking advantage of the beasts' battle, Lin Chang'sheng sped toward the towering mountain ahead.

Once near the peak, Lin Chang'sheng noticed a massive cave halfway up the mountainside—one so large even Candledragon's colossal body could fit inside.

After stepping in, Lin Chang'sheng discovered the cavern wasn't dim, but rather dazzlingly bright.

Inside were heaps of Immortal Crystals and Spirit Treasures without number.

Clearly, Candledragon had inherited the Dragon Race's love of gold and riches.

Most likely, these treasures belonged to those who perished trying to escape this forbidden land.

When it came to the crystals, Lin Chang'sheng didn't hesitate—he swept them all into his Storage Ring.

"There's even a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure here?"

After storing the Immortal Crystals, Lin Chang'sheng discovered that among the piles of treasures was actually a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure.

Evidently, some great powerhouse had once ventured here, only to never escape alive.
