Chapter 2044: The Owl Array Master

Seeing Blackie cursing at him with such vigor, Zuo Li’s expression kept on changed as he too wanted to curse back at the former.

For it to be unharmed after sustaining two consecutive blows from him, with the second one launched with the Demonstone Engraving, Zuo Li could not imagine what manner of monster Blackie was.

Zuo Li was no weakling, although his strength had not reached the third level beneath a Supreme Saint, he was not far off, and was definitely no weaker than Cang Long or Yan Ba and the likes.

Although he did not cultivate the Demonic Tiger Roar Portrait, it was still the same demonic exercise contained in the Demonstone Engraving, and was essentially the same. Thus, he was able to unleash the Demonstone Engraving’s devastating power.

Based on Zuo Li’s estimation, that blow earlier was something even a top-level sacred artifact would not be able to withstand, and inevitably suffer damage.

Could it be that Blackie’s physical body was stronger than a top-level sacred artifact?

Or was there something different about Blackie’s body?

“I don’t believe I can’t do anything to you!”

A cold glint appeared in Zuo Li’s eyes as the Heavenly Demonic Qi emerged out of his body in a frenzy.

With the Heavenly Demonic Qi gushing out, a large amount of black water to appeared. This was the Dark Water and it was extremely toxic, able to dissolve everything.

The Dark Water Zuo Li had cultivated could dissolve even top-level sacred artifacts into nothingness.

Suddenly, the Dark Water covered a large area and continued to expand, seemingly wanting to submerge the world in it.

Whooosh!

A black dragon a thousand foot long leaped out from the Dark Water, exuding an extremely violent aura, disturbing the vitality of the realm within thousands of miles.

This scene was extremely similar to the one engraved on the Demonic Frenzied Drake Portrait.

“RAAAWRRR!”

The black drake roared, kicking up violent waves as it charged at Blackie.

Seeing the black dragon charging over, Blackie instead showed a look of contempt as it sneered. “Child’s play, how dare you sneak attack me twice in a row. Let me show you how I’ll deal with you.”

While saying that, Blackie did not dodge and instead pounced at the charging black drake.

One could see Blackie’s body lit up in scarlet red fire, and like a crimson cloud, emitted extreme temperature as it caused the space to ripple subtly as it burned it.

BAAAMMM!!

The two sides collided, and forming an extremely terrifying shock wave.

Whoosh!

Blackie was sent flying once again, and was knocked into a daze.

And that black dragon burst into pieces, transforming into Dark Water as it spilled all over the place.

Affected by the Netherwater’s corrisiveness, many pits of different sizes appeared on the ground immediately, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

“Aiyaya, you sure are too much. You think I don’t have my own face to uphold?”

In a blink of an eye, Blackie flew over from a distance, its furious eyes were opened so wide that they looked larger than a cooper bell, as blue smoke appeared all over its body.

Obviously, after being sent flying for the third time, Blackie was royally pissed.

Seeing that Blackie was still unscathed, while Zuo Li was surprised, he no longer bore any fear towards it, as he sneered. “So what if your defense is strong? You’ll only end up as my punching bag, hand over the Demonstone Engraving.”

He had basically determined that Blackie was not very powerful, with simply just amazing defenses, and was no threat to him.

As he said that, Zuo Li once again activated his demonic exercise as an even larger black dragon leaped out from the Dark Water, setting off huge waves.

“Damn it, it if werent for some problems during my rebirth, I would have annihilated a demon cur like you with just a single breath.” Blackie was extremely annoyed.

When it was searching for its body in the Sea of Yin and Yang for rebirth, there was an accident. Not only it grew an owl’s head but it could not control its former powers, and even after such a long time, the problem still remained unresolved.

Blackie now had only a powerful body but was unable to unleash the corresponding strength, which made it really depressed.

Amidst its anger, Blackie flapped its wings as a formation seal more than a hundred feet in diameter suddenly formed and met the black dragon.

Unable to rely on its martial strength to defeat Zuo Li, then it shall use its formation arts that it was best at.

BAAMM!!

Although the black drake was powerful, it was still shattered by the formation seal in an instant.

“When I did not show off my skills, you really took me for a sick cat didn’t you. Now, die!”

Blackie roared as it flapped its wings and blasted out a series of formation seals.

Zuo Li’s expression changed immediately as he quickly roused his demonic exercises and conjured a thick column of water, trying to block the formation seal.

BAAMM!!

Although the water column was powerful, it could not withstand the devastating power contained inside the formation seal, and shattered upon contact.

“For a formation seal casually formed to be so powerful. Is this weird owl an Arch Array Master?” Zuo Li’s emotions were roiling as a guess faintly arose in his mind.

The three interlocking Ninth-Rank Formations outside the Sect of the Blood God must have been restored by an Arch Array Master, as common Array Masters would not have the ability to do so.

Could that Array Master be it?

Zuo Li had originally thought that he had good luck and ran into a weaker opponent. But with things as it is, things were far less simple than he had thought.

Zuo Li’s expression became serious and he dared not look down on Blackie any more.

At the same time, all of the spectating cultivators widened their eyes and most of them had a look of astonishment.

“What’s going on? That owl’s skills in formation arrays is so high. An owl array master, this…”

“To so easily block Zuo Li’s attack, mostlikely an Arch Array Master, heh.”

“That’s better, otherwise this gambit battle would be boring. I really look forward to see that owl turning things around.”

…

For a moment, countless cultivators became excited, if the famous Zuo Li was being beaten down by an owl, then things would be very interesting!

On the Sect of the Blood God’s side, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After seeing Blackie being sent flying again and again, all of them were worried that Blackie would fudge up this time, and hand the Demonstone Engraving over to the foe.

And the atmosphere on the Black Demon Realm’s side became slightly grim, as what was happening was obviously not what they had hoped to see.

A moment ago, they all thought Zuo Li’s victory was at hand, but unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, everything became unknown again.

The means available to an Arch Array Master is mysterious and unpredictable, and was impossible to judge using the usual understanding of things.

According to the rumors, powerful Arch Array Masters were strong enough to even rival Supreme Saints.

Mo Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and even he was slightly worried for Zuo Li at this moment.

If Zuo Li loses to that owl, and cost them another Demonstone Engraving, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for him to accept.

BOOM!!

On the battlefield, following a series of explosions, the Dark Water columns that Zuo Li had conjured exploded one by one.

Blackie continued to strike, blasting out over a dozen of formation seals as he bombarded Zuo Li with overwhelming power.

In this situation, Blackie quickly gained the upper hand, and had taken the initiative while Zuo Li could only passively defend himself.

“Come on, weren’t you so arrogant earlier? I’ll let you see how powerful I am!” Blackie yelled with seething arrogance.

Clearly, the flames of anger had been fanned in its heart, and it will be really unhappy if it did not vent it out.

Blackie lifted its feet, and suddenly a fourteen-layer formation circle formed as they layred on top of one another, locking onto Zuo Li, completely blocking his escape.

A murderous intent appeared in Zuo Li’s eyes, as he hissed coldly. “You’re looking down on me too much. So what if you are an Arch Array Master? You’ll still be stomped into the ground by me.”

As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Zuo Li’s body, rousing the vitality of heaven and earth within a radius of thousand of miles, causing the area covered by the Dark Water to expand rapidly.

“You still think of mobilizing the precepts of heaven and earth, and the power of the land before me? You’re just too naive.” Blackie sneered.

VOOOSH!

Seven black array flags flew out from Blackie’s body, forming a great formation array.

“The Seven-Star Heaven’s Blockade Formation, seal up!”

Blackie released its majestic spiritual power and infused into the seven flag poles, fully activating the great formation.

The great formation array activated and warded the area off, causing the radius of thousand of miles to be completely isolated from the outside world.

Instantly all of the mobilized precepts of heaven and earth, and power of the land immediately fell silent, with Zuo Li unable to draw upon them.

For a Precept Dominion-realm powerhouse, being unable to draw upon the precept of heaven and earth, and the power of the land, their strength will be greatly diminished, and they would not be able to use many techniques.

“Sh*t!”

Zuo Li’s heart sank, and was unable to remain calm anymore.

Without any hesitation, Zuo Li immediately roused his demonic exercises, while dealing with the fourteen-layer formation circle, and the attack of the Seven-Star Heaven’s Blockade Formation as he tried to break them open as soon as possible.

For a moment, the waves surged into the sky, and sweeping across the land, submerging the fourteen-layered formation circle and blocking it off. At the same time, a series of black water jets blasted into the air and crashed into the great formation in a frenzy.
