Chapter 655: 655

The area around the Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body rippled as he withstood the might of the Immortal Vanquishing Array .

“Numinous Treasure . ” Fiend Ancestor looked at the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure . “I have slipped up this time, but it was not because of you, but Qin Yun . I never expected him to attain a perfected Great Dao in just a few thousand years! To attain a perfected Great Dao… is sufficient to make any cultivator ecstatic . They would instantly have their Dharmic powers and Essence Soul break through . The result would stir the Three Realms, but although Qin Yun was ecstatic, he was able to repress his emotions and plot out a scheme against me . “

“Haha, there’s no reason to regret your failure under such circumstances!” Numinous Treasure was rather delighted .

“Yes, I fully admit defeat . ” Fiend Ancestor looked coldly into the Huifeng Great World .

In fact…

To Qin Yun, the greatest threat was the Itinerant Immortal tribulations . Transcending them would earn him a carefree eternity with his family .

As for attaining a perfected Great Dao, it only gave his outlook on transcending the tribulations a glimmer of hope . Qin Yun naturally wanted to raise his strength further, which meant making his Intrinsic Flying Sword turn into a Merit Cardinal treasure . By being both a Connate Cardinal treasure and Merit Cardinal treasure, the Misty Rain Sword’s might would reach an even more astounding state . His hopes of surviving the Itinerant Immortal tribulations would be greater .

He was always seeking for hope to transcend the tribulations; therefore, he came up with a plot the moment he broke through!

A second opportunity to plot against the fiends would be rare!

Meanwhile in the Huifeng Great World, the inside of the massive Misty Rain Array was a brand new world of an equally massive size . That world was even in flux .

“You want to kill me?” Patriarch Spirit Devouring looked at the Misty Rain Array with eyes filled with rage . “I, Daoist Wen, have survived to cultivate to this day . I have devoured the disciples of the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure and the Buddhist Ancestor’s Merit Gold Lotus . Many want me dead, but I have lived to this day! Yet, a short-lived Itinerant Immortal like you wishes to kill me?”

Even a rabbit will bite when things turn nasty .

How could a perfected Great Dao expert surrender?

“Hum . ” Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s body phased away and shifted into his true form . He was a blood-colored mosquito about 5000 kilometers in size . Its wings were translucent and the moment it shook its wings, it lunged toward the Misty Rain Array’s periphery .

He was the first mosquito born out of the Chaos .

He kept a low profile and enjoyed delivering sneak attacks . Through various fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation of Daoism, Buddhism, and the fiendish ways, he finally forged the Spirit Devouring Dao .

As he charged over, his sharp proboscis which appeared like a needle was actually formed from the combination of six thin needles . They stabbed at the world’s boundary and sucked!

“Rumble!” The Misty Rain Array’s periphery rumbled when it was stabbed . Sword Qi surged but it remained intact .

“Oh?”

While maintaining the Misty Rain Array, and controlling the Misty Rain Sword flashes to destroy the Fiend Ancestor’s array formation, Qin Yun sensed Daoist Wen’s counterattack inside the array . He could not help but prick up his brows . He saw that Daoist Wen had returned to his true form and was frantically attacking different spots in the array formation . Clearly, he was attempting to find the array formation’s weakness .

“As expected of Daoist Wen . If I were still a pinnacle Itinerant Immortal, he would probably have succeeded in cracking my Misty Rain Array with his first attack . ” Qin Yun thought . “However, I have long broken through . The Misty Rain Array is the technique I have put in the most effort in . It’s meant to withstand the Itinerant Immortal tribulations, so to think one move could crack it?”

Qin Yun was in no rush .

He even looked forward to finding weaknesses in his array formation through Daoist Wen’s counterattacks .

However, even if there were weaknesses, the array formation produced by his Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure was not something Daoist Wen could crack .

“Obliterate . ” Qin Yun looked into the distant land as more than ten Misty Rain Sword beams swept over . Finally, they blew up the ground and dug up an array disk from deep within .

…

While Qin Yun was patiently destroying the Fiend Ancestor’s array formation, he temporarily sent his disciple, Qing Shuang, to the Wei Nation’s capital .

“Qing Shuang, I’ll probably take some time to kill this Daoist Wen . I won’t be able to divert my attention to taking care of you,” said Qin Yun via a voice transmission .

“Master, don’t mind me,” said Qing Shuang immediately .

She stood above the Wei Nation and felt her mind turn adrift .

“Sister Qing Shuang . ” A voice sounded as Princess Wei Ran flew to her side .

“Princess Wei Ran,” said Qing Shuang .

“I never expected Daoist Feng to be the legendary Sword Immortal Qin,” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring . “Furthermore, Sword Immortal Qin’s strength has reached an unfathomable state . The fiends have two lineages that are called fiends among fiends—the sea of blood lineage and the spirit-devouring lineage . Now the spirit-devouring lineage’s Patriarch Spirit Devouring is entrapped by Sword Immortal Qin and seems to be in a perilous situation . “

Princess Wei Ran had a strong backer, so she knew much about the important figures in the Three Realms .

Patriarch Spirit Devouring?

That was an existence that the Grand Supreme lineage feared .

“Sword Immortal Qin’s conjuring of the sword array instantly encompassed half a million kilometers, and suppresses an area of the Great World,” Princess Wei Ran marveled . “His strength really knows no bounds . “

Qing Shuang felt rather proud when she heard that since Sword Immortal Qin was her master .

“Congratulations, Sister Qing Shuang, for being a disciple of Sword Immortal Qin . ” Princess Wei Ran smiled . “Your future will be limitless . “

“I never expected this either . Master had been kind back then to save my life and impart to me his sword arts,” Qing Shuang said . Following that, she turned to smile at Princess Wei Ran . “Princess Wei Ran, perhaps all the mighty figures in the Huifeng Great World are aware of Master’s identity . Master has decided on the Wei Nation’s future, so I’m guessing that no one will dare interfere with his decision . “

Princess Wei Ran nodded with a smile .

She was previously worried, worried about the Black Wind Fiend Sect and the other fiendish factions . Now, she was worriless .

Sword Immortal Qin’s words were no doubt enough to shock and awe .

******

Moments later .

Qin Yun uprooted the entirety of the Fiend Ancestor’s array formation . Without the array formation’s influence, the Misty Rain domain’s might was no longer hindered as it began to bind Patriarch Spirit Devouring .

“Why is this domain so powerful?” Patriarch Spirit Devouring felt that even flapping his wings was tiring . With the endless bindings and repression, he could only produce a portion of his strength . However, his sharp proboscis did not fall in strength . It stabbed at the Misty Rain Array world in an attempt to penetrate it .

“Daoist Wen, I’ve allowed you so many attempts . It’s time for me to attack,” Qin Yun said . “Tornado . “

“Whoosh~”

The Misty Rain Array world seemed to usher in the apocalypse as countless Sword Qi transformed into violent winds that swept through the world within . Every spot was ground to dust .

Patriarch Spirit Devouring was also caught in the middle of the Sword Qi tornadoes as they continually battered him .

“Darn it . ” Patriarch Spirit Devouring surroundings naturally turned into a black hole vortex . He crazily devoured all the Sword Qi tornadoes that came at him, but there were just too many of them . Soon, they flooded the black hole vortex and began assaulting his body .

His body was fine except his abdomen, which began showing signs of damage from the lacerations, but the wounds also rapidly healed .

“Suppress!” Qin Yun cast another move of this Misty Rain Array .

The tornadoes in the Misty Rain Array world dissipated as black clouds appeared in the sky . They were formed from billions of Sword Qi as the cloud took on the form of a palm .

Boom!

The palm came swatting down .

With Heaven, Earth, and Man as one, the entire world’s powers were directed into that suppressive swat .

Patriarch Spirit Devouring had nowhere to hide, so all he could do was fend it off directly . As his wings flapped, black hole vortices appeared around him .

“Bam!”

When the dark cloud palm formed out of the billion Sword Qi swatted down, Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s body was smashed flat as purple blood spewed out from his mouth . However, his body rapidly recovered .

“You won’t be able to kill me . You won’t!” Patriarch Spirit Devouring looked up and glared at the gigantic black cloud palm .

“Seven Star Vanquishment!”

Qin Yun had already infused the Seven Stars Great Dao into his Sword Dao .

In the Misty Rain Array world, seven stars appeared in the shape of the Big Dipper .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The stars crashed towards Patriarch Spirit Devouring .

The first star’s might was about thirty percent of the previous black cloud palm strike, but with seven consecutive stars, they connected into a combo, each being stronger than the other .

The barrage of attacks caused Patriarch Spirit Devouring to wrap his wings around him to protect his body while withstanding the blows with great difficulty .

The stars crashed down with an apocalyptic rage, causing Patriarch Spirit Devouring to spew out blood three times from the seven blows . His eyes were filled with insanity as he looked up and let out a jarring roar . “Qin Yun, you won’t be able to kill me . You won’t!”

The mighty figures of the Three Realms were all watching this scene .

Upon seeing Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s hysteria, many fiends felt a sadness for the loss of their kind . When they thought about how Qin Yun abhorred evil and would eventually come for them, their hearts palpitated in fear . “This Qin Yun will not transcend his Itinerant Immortal tribulations . He will definitely die . ” If Qin Yun were to really transcend his Itinerant Immortal tribulations, the fiends would have a bleak future ahead of them .

“You sure cultivated your body well . You are even able to withstand the Seven Stars Vanquishment,” Qin Yun nodded and said . “From the looks of it, I still have to rely on the array formation refined by Master . Fiend Annihilation Array, arise!”

Every corner of the Huifeng Great World quaked .

Simultaneously, black chains condensed from the void . A total of thirty-six black chains extended over from every corner of the Huifeng Great World, tearing through the firmaments . Each of them bound Patriarch Spirit Devouring, who was already barely holding up from the Misty Rain Array’s suppression . He had no way to dodge .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The thirty-six black chains bound Patriarch Spirit Devouring, locking down the five-thousand-kilometer wide mosquito .
