Chapter 2055: The Divine Book of Light
There was a strange look in Mo Sheng’s eyes when he saw Zhou Yu coming. He then went up to greet him.
“What took you so long, Zhou Yu?”
While speaking, he looked at the azure dragon of Zhou Yu, his heart skipping a beat.
This azure dragon was an ancient remnant. Its bloodline was stronger than most dragons. More importantly, the energy it exuded was more powerful than that of a typical Path’s Anterior cultivator.
He could not believe that Zhou Yu could tame such a powerful azure dragon.
“It took me a while to catch this beast. But by the looks of things, I am still not too late for the party, am I?” Zhou Yu let out a faint smile.
Mo Sheng looked not too happy when he heard that. How could he not know what Zhou Yu meant? Zhou Yu was clearly belittling them.
“There are three Nine Stratum Arrays outside the Sect of the Blood God with a Supreme Artifact as the array eye. Can you defeat it, Zhou Yu?” asked Mo Sheng calmly.
He would want to see what Zhou Yu could do since Zhou Yu thought they were useless and could not take down the Sect of the Blood God even after so long.
Zhou Yu cast a casual glance at the guardian formation of the Sect of the Blood God and then took out a diamond-shaped gemstone with the flip of his hand. The gemstone was dark green, with many mysterious patterns engraved on it. Even the top Nine-Step Saint Kings would feel dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
“We accidentally got this Inscription-Suppressing Stone when I caught this beast. Let’s see what it can do,” said Zhou Yu.
There was a strange look in Mosheng’s eyes as he fixated on the dark-green gemstone. “Inside the Sect of the Blood God is an array master, who controls the three Nine Stratum Arrays. Can this Inscription-Suppressing Stone defeat the arrays?”
“You will know the answer soon,” said Zhou Yu in a flat tone of voice. But anyone could hear the confidence in his words.
While speaking, he casually cast out the Inscription-Suppressing Stone and propelled it with his saint Qi.
Intertwining and ever-changing mysterious inscriptions appeared on the surface of the Inscription-Suppressing Stone as it came down to suppress the guardian formation of the Sect of the Blood God.
“Not good. That’s the Inscription-Suppression Stone.”
Blackie’s expression changed when he saw what was coming.
No one knew the Inscription-Suppression Stone better than an array master. This object came from an array master, extremely difficult to refine. Not only did it require extremely high array attainment, it also needed to find the right special material.
The Inscription-Suppression Stone had only one function, which was to suppress formation inscriptions and weaken a formation, or even render it ineffective.
Any non-Nine Stratum Array would lose its effectiveness at the release of the Inscription-Suppression Stone.
If two array masters with similar formation attainment fought, the one with the Inscription-Suppression Stone would undoubtedly have a tremendous advantage over the other who did not.
Baroom!
The three Nine Stratum Arrays shook violently as soon as the Inscription-Suppressing Stone released its energy.
Part of the formation inscriptions dimmed, causing great flaws to appear in the formation.
“This is the time.”
Mosheng’s eyes were gleaming with light. He quickly activated the Wheel of the Nether Sun to launch an attack.
This time, the Wheel of the Nether Sun transformed into a gloomy sun and fell at high speed from the sky.
Boom!
The shield formed by the three Nine Stratum Arrays could only last for a moment before it quickly collapsed.
Blackie reacted at the first instance when he noticed the collapse of the formation. He grabbed the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and fell back to Yingzhu Peak at the fastest possible speed.
“We are in trouble, Zhang Ruochen. Zhou Yu has not only come but also brought an Inscription-Suppressing Stone. I am afraid that the defense of Yingzhu Peak will not last long,” said Blackie anxiously.
“Can’t you defeat that thing with your ability?” Zhang Ruochen’s brows were knitted together.
“That stone is not ordinary stuff. It defeated the Nine Stratum Arrays that I just restored in a snap. If I am not mistaken, it should have come from the hands of the King of Sea and Land. With my current array attainment, which has just been restored to the level of Lord of Mountains and Rivers, it is extremely unlikely I can defeat the Inscription-Suppressing Stone,” said Blackie.
The so-called Lord of Mountains and Rivers and King of Sea and Land were ranks of array masters. They were of different levels and the power of the formations they set up differed vastly.
Rumors had it that the most powerful array master could rival the best Supreme Saint.
Normally, those who became an array master in his Saint Kinghood could only attain the level of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers. It was often only a beginner level, not advanced.
Everyone present looked serious when they heard what Blackie said, as they truly realized they were in deep shit now.
Outside of the Sect of the Blood God, the many cultivators of Darkdemon Realm were in high spirit. No one could stop them anymore after the collapse of the guardian formation.
“We need to make this quick. Except for Empress of Thousand Bones’ scion, none of the others should be spared.” Mosheng ordered.
Those cultivators of Darkdemon Realm swooped down from above as they all tried to enter the Sect of the Blood God.
The Sect of the Blood God had sunk hundreds of yards into the earth now.
Mosheng activated the Wheel of the Nether Sun, releasing a massive amount of divine power to block the Sect of the Blood God’s escape routes.
He did this mainly because he wanted to prevent Zhang Ruochen from escaping.
With so many authentic Demonstone Engravings on Zhang Ruochen’s body, the last thing he wanted after doing so many things was to find Zhang Ruochen slip away.
Zhou Yu did not hesitate but brought the azure dragon to enter the Sect of the Blood God when he saw the cultivators of Darkdemon Realm take action.
“Aah, what’s going on? Why is my vitality losing so quickly?”
Someone screamed in horror.
A Three-Step Saint King of Darkdemon Realm had a frightened look on his face. He rapidly aged, with wrinkled skin and gray hair.
Immediately afterwards, a few other Saint Kings also encountered the same situation.
The phenomenon spread like a plague. It affected not only ordinary Saint King cultivators but also the Nine-Step Saint King powerhouses.
Amid the panic, a dimensional crack with a width of ten yards appeared out of nowhere, slicing the body of a Five-Step Saint King in half, with the upper body being swallowed by the dimensional crack.
Immediately afterwards, a chunk of dimension collapsed and swept two nearby Darkdemon Saint Kings into it.
“Hold your horses, everyone! Good one, Zhang Ruochen! He has rigged the Sect of the Blood God with Time and Dimensional Formations beforehand,” Mo Sheng shouted, his face turning grave.
All the Darkdemon cultivators calmed down spontaneously, watching their surroundings cautiously as they stopped moving.
“These cheap tricks he pulls are nothing but just a joke in front of absolute power.” Zhou Yu had not much expression on his face.
After that, he extended a hand. A sacred light appeared in his palm, dazzlingly bright like a small sun.
The sacred light rapidly expanded as it flew out. It shone sun and illuminated the inside of the Sect of the Blood God like a rising sun.
The next moment, the sacred light shattered, turning into countless light spots before slowly dissipating.
On Yingzhu Peak, Zhang Ruochen had a grim look on his face as he stared at Zhou Yu from a distance.
He could clearly sense how powerful Zhou Yu was using the time and dimensional arrays he had laid down in the sect.
This guy had unfathomable skills. Without causing any damage, he had destroyed all the time and dimensional formations that Zhang Ruochen had laid.
“What an awesome Path of Light. The Precepts that Zhou Yu has cultivated are definitely over one hundred thousand.” Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat.
Zhou Yu was the master of the Light. He had been well trained by those big guys of the Fane of Light. He always had an extraordinary bit of serendipity. So he could be considered the blessed one.
Zhang Ruochen was not the only one impressed. Those Darkdemon cultivators were all shocked. Even Mosheng had a serious look on his face.
Mosheng was always proud of himself. Especially after he had activated the Wheel of the Nether Sun. He became even more arrogant, exalting himself as no less powerful than Zhou Yu.
But when he saw Zhou Yu’s skill, he suddenly felt Zhou Yu was far more unfathomable than he thought.
Some of the Darkdemon cultivators could finally free themselves after the time and dimensional formations were gone. But some others were dead.
Even though they were rescued, most of them were severely injured. Recovery was not that easy.
Zhou Yu shifted his attention to Yingzhu Peak, staring at Zhang Ruochen from a distance. “Zhang Ruochen, follow me to Heavenly Realm, and you may get a chance to live.”
Zhou Yu’s thinking was that Zhang Ruochen had many secrets hidden in him. If he could unearth them, it would be more valuable than killing him directly.
Of course, if Zhang Ruochen was not cooperative, then he would not mind obliterating him.
In any case, Heavenly Realm would never allow Zhang Ruochen to live, as it deemed him a time bomb.
“Heavenly Realm hates my guts and can’t wait to grind my bones to dust. I can’t believe that you say you will spare my life. Do you think I’m a fool?” Zhang Ruochen sneered. “Besides, it is not up to Heavenly Realm to decide my fate.”
Zhou Yu did not get angry at hearing those words. He just shook his head slightly. “Zhang Ruochen, I have offered you a way out. It is you who do not cherish it. If so, I will have to take your life then.”
The Inscription-Suppressing Stone flew straight up Yingzhu Peak with the flick of his hand.
Meanwhile, a book glowing with sacred light appeared in his hand, with countless Precepts of Light intertwined on, and a strong immortal energy emanating from it.
“The Divine Book of Light!”
Mosheng’s heart skipped a beat.
This book was a legacy of the immortal who practiced Path of Light. It contained countless saint techniques of light attributes. As long as one’s cultivation base was high enough, activating the book would release various powerful saint techniques of the Light.
Apparently, Zhou Yu wanted to break the defense of Yingzhu Peak and then kill Zhang Ruochen.
The Inscription-Suppression Stone had been reactivated and instantly suppressed some of the divine inscriptions on Yingzhu Peak.
Cracks appeared in the defenses of Yingzhu Peak. Its defenses were no longer impregnable.
As Zhou Yu slowly opened the Divine Book of Light, a bright, sacred light shone out from it. The light then turned into a sword of light and struck like lightning at Yingzhu Peak.
Immediately afterwards, another sacred light flew out, turning into a thunder of light with a terrifyingly destructive aura.
Boom!
The defenses of Yingzhu Peak could not withstand Zhou Yu’s attack and quickly collapsed.
