Chapter 513 - 511: Little Gadgets

The Array Talismans floating in the air shimmered with a golden glow, pulsing with Jiang Xuanyuan’s surging Elemental Power. With a fierce wave of his hand, they took over the majority of the space behind him.

It seemed that methods of controlling the ground were of little use against him. The Array Talismans could just as easily be arranged in the air. Under Jiang Xuanyuan’s control, several dazzling beams of light appeared behind him before solidifying into a giant Great Sword that thrust mercilessly toward Lin Xuan.

The Great Sword tore through the void as it stabbed forward. The frigid air across the entire arena was split in two, and the solid ice in its path was violently shattered, leaving a deep trench in the ground!

The enormous Giant Sword took up nearly half the arena as it swept toward Lin Xuan. Its aura far surpassed the power of his previous attacks—one could say it dominated the entire field!

It seemed Jiang Xuanyuan had finally acknowledged Lin Xuan’s strength. If he didn’t increase his own power, he would have no way of breaking through Lin Xuan’s defenses.

The Great Sword’s momentum was overwhelming, but Lin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged. He was as calm as ever, a golden glint flickering in his eyes. "Impressive power, but it’s useless against me... An Array, is it? Once I break your Array, you’ll be nothing!"

In that instant, the Golden Dragon King’s Soul Possession activated. With a deafening ROAR, his entire body flickered with golden light. Golden Dragon Scales emitted a dazzling radiance, and the Golden Dragon Power within him erupted.

Golden Dragon Power radiated from his body, transforming into an indestructible golden aura that made him look like a veritable Golden Dragon! After this complete eruption of power, he stomped on the ground and charged toward the incoming Great Sword, swinging his fist to smash it—attacking with his bare body!

A fist. It was still just a fist, but its power was a whole level higher than when he had faced Mu Qianlong!

Under the possession of the Golden Dragon King’s soul, the effects were of course drastically enhanced. The Ten Thousand Year Golden Dragon Bone in his body was activated, giving his golden Dragon Scales a hardness on par with a Divine Artifact!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

A series of explosions rang out. Immediately after, a streak of golden light shot out from the dust cloud, heading straight for Jiang Xuanyuan. The master of this golden light was none other than Lin Xuan. He emerged completely unscathed, his tyrannical punch still surging forward, its power even greater than that of the Great Sword!

The moment he burst out, a sinister glint flashed through Jiang Xuanyuan’s eyes. ’I knew it!’

He immediately took out two slender, needle-like Divine Artifacts and threw them without hesitation. As the needles flew, a blast of air surged forth, locking firmly onto Lin Xuan.

"That’s the God-Chasing Needle! Jiang Xuanyuan is truly enraged!"

"This time, he’s dead for sure! The God-Chasing Needle will never stop until it hits its target!"

"The God-Chasing Needle is incredibly powerful, and he doesn’t even have a Weapon! If he tries to block it head-on, there’s no way he’ll escape unscathed!"

...

The God-Chasing Needle, a very powerful Weapon. Once thrown, it locks onto a target and will not give up until it hits. The key thing was that there were two of them. Jiang Xuanyuan was truly extravagant, casually tossing out two God-Chasing Needles of considerable power.

At the same time, the Array behind him condensed once more, forming countless Giant Swords in preparation for an even more ferocious assault!

’Divine Artifacts?’

Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate to swing his fists, completely ignoring the two incoming Divine Artifacts. Just as everyone thought he would be injured, he suddenly threw two punches. CLANG! CLANG! It sounded like his fists had struck solid armor, and the two Weapons were sent flying.

After spinning countless times in the air, they smashed heavily against the protective barrier before turning to pursue Lin Xuan once again. This was the nature of a Nightmare Level Divine Artifact. Even if knocked away, it would continue its pursuit!

The crucial part, however, was that Lin Xuan was completely unharmed. At most, the Dragon Scales on his arm were slightly dented. Other than that, not a single drop of blood was shed.

He wasn’t injured in the slightest, leaving the crowd dumbfounded. Was that really a human body? They had thought the Dragon Scales were just for show. After all, many Cultivators had absorbed Dragon Blood, but very few could withstand an attack from a Divine Artifact.

Now, Lin Xuan had easily knocked away two Divine Artifacts and, in the blink of an eye, had closed the distance to Jiang Xuanyuan, smashing a heavy punch against the shield protecting him.

"BOOM!"

Under the heavy blow, the shield was instantly covered in a dense web of cracks. The next moment, with a loud SHATTER, it broke into countless fragments and vanished into the air. Jiang Xuanyuan had now lost all protection and was completely exposed before Lin Xuan!

"Scram!"

Lin Xuan snorted coldly and continued to swing his fist. Jiang Xuanyuan’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to be so tyrannical—not only were the Divine Artifacts ineffective against him, but even the protective shield had been useless.

"Protect!"

Jiang Xuanyuan roared, and a burst of light erupted from his body, enveloping him completely. He too was wearing a protective Divine Artifact. For a genius of his Level, Divine Artifact Clothing was practically standard issue; to have nothing would be far too shabby.

"BOOM!"

Another heavy punch smashed forward. Without caring what it was, the rampaging Golden Dragon Power roared and pierced through toward Jiang Xuanyuan. He was instantly sent flying. The moment he landed, his feet touched the frost, which, like a snake, rapidly coiled up his legs.

"Burst!"

Jiang Xuanyuan bellowed, and a dazzling light erupted from his body, blasting away the frost at his feet and clearing a small area so he was no longer touched by it. This world-freezing effect was formidable, but that didn’t mean it was invincible. It could be cleared with a powerful enough burst; it just took some effort.

Nevertheless, he had still suffered some internal injuries from the shock of Lin Xuan’s tyrannical Golden Dragon Power. His face was slightly flushed, and a sweet taste welled up in his throat. He could feel that the internal injuries he’d sustained were not light.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

At that moment, the Array Talismans floating in the air exploded, shattering into countless fragments that rained down to the ground. Lin Xuan had broken them all. This made Jiang Xuanyuan’s face twitch. ’Those were extremely precious Array Talismans!’

"You... How could you find the weakness in my Array?" Jiang Xuanyuan’s expression was grim. An Array couldn’t be destroyed so easily; one had to find the Array Hub to break it.

Lin Xuan had just casually found the Array Hub and destroyed it. The same went for the shield protecting Jiang Xuanyuan earlier; it had been shattered with a single punch because he had found its Array Hub.

When an Array Hub is found and attacked, it becomes extremely fragile. Of course, some Array Hubs are very sturdy and difficult to destroy without a high level of Cultivation. Lin Xuan’s Cultivation was not weak, so naturally, he broke it with ease.

"It’s simple. I could tell where the weakness was at a glance..." Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "Your Array may be a nightmare for your peers, but to me, it’s nothing special!"

The reason he could find the Array Hub so easily was the key: memories! He possessed the souls of many powerful experts in his mind, including several who had studied Arrays. If only he had the materials, he too could be considered an Array Master by now.
