Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

The Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array is already a super array that has reached the Heavenly Rank level. It is a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, extracted from the mind of an Array Master of the Yin Hall who once entered the Xuanyin Cave, an unsurpassable array.

The Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit has resided in the Xuanyin Cave for many years and possesses a highly mystical ability. Over countless years, it has inadvertently killed many elders of the Yin Hall.

Although this Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array is like a Little Witch compared to the perfect version of the Myriad Star Blood Gathering Array of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, it is not something that just anyone on the Tenglong Continent can break.

The small skirmishes on the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield only seal some of the peripheral array points, something even mid and low-level Earth Rank array masters can achieve.

However, when it comes to the twelve core array points of the Impermanence Island, even a low-level Heavenly Rank array master might find themselves helpless.

Previously, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit had said those words only to avoid some unnecessary trouble. Now, seeing that Yun Xiao showed no sign of compromise, it could only place its confidence in the strength of this Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array.

Moreover, there is a hidden connection between these twelve core array points, meaning even if someone could seal one of the points, unforeseen changes would occur during the sealing of the second point.

Chichi...

Beams of blood-red light shot out between Yun Xiao’s right hand fingers, quickly forming a mysterious pattern around the array point.

When Yun Xiao took out a dozen Array Flags from his Waist Storage, combined with the Ancestral Vein Fire, the blood-red beam soaring into the sky was directly suppressed, seemingly severing the connection between the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array and the stars above the Nine Heavens in an instant.

”You do have a bit of skill, but it’s a pity you’re overestimating yourself!”

Seeing the suppressed beam and the changes in the swallowing of blood energy, the Water Flow Body of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit was indeed furious but still carried a fair amount of confidence.

As its cold laughter echoed, a non-existent pair of eyes fixed deadly on the coarse-clothed young man already on the move.

At this moment, after sealing the first array point, Yun Xiao had already moved his steps to the position of the second array point, beginning the seal of this second array point.

Swa, swa, swa!

Following his routine with the Ancestral Vein Fire, when a dozen Array Flags were planted around that array point, the blood energy transmission of this array point in the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array was also entirely cut off.

”Hmm?”

However, as Yun Xiao let out a breath, preparing to walk towards the third array point, his expression slightly changed, he immediately turned his gaze back to the position of the first array point.

”Heh, did you finally notice?”

Seeing this, the Water Flow Body let out a delighted sneer, having been waiting for this moment. It said: ”Human, you underestimate the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array too much, and your strength is too weak!”

This was the greatest reliance of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit. These inner core array points, compared to the outer array points of the cities far apart, had some form of connection, causing a chain reaction when one was broken.

”Puff!”

After Yun Xiao turned his head and the delighted voice of the Water Flow Body resonated, a powerful force erupted from the first sealed array point of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, instantly breaking the sealing array.

It is noteworthy that while the first seal was broken, the seal on the second array point remained intact, seemingly unchanged.

”So that’s how it is!”

Disregarding the sneers of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, Yun Xiao recalled the situation when he studied the Myriad Star Blood Gathering Array in the past, feeling suddenly enlightened.

The Myriad Star Blood Gathering Array of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud is an even more formidable Holy-grade level array, difficult to break even for a Holy-grade Array Master.

In his previous life in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the Long Xiao Battle God, relying on his own strength, managed to break a Myriad Star Blood Gathering Array and ultimately slay the formation master at its core.

Comparably speaking, this Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array on the Tenglong Continent seemed like child’s play to Yun Xiao. He wouldn’t have expended so much effort if it weren’t for his current limited strength.

In any case, Yun Xiao hadn’t yet broken through to the true Heavenly Rank level, nor did he reach the level of a Heavenly Array Master in the realm of Array Formation.

Therefore, Yun Xiao could only temporarily seal the array points of this Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array but couldn’t break it from the outside. From this point of view, he was indeed different from a true Heavenly Array Master.

However, because Yun Xiao was a Holy-grade Peak Array Master in his previous life, his understanding of theory and practice far surpassed that of the array masters on the Tenglong Continent, quickly realizing the problem’s core cause in an instant.

”It’s just a small trick of energy mutual support among array points, nothing impressive at all!”

Under the complacent gaze of the Water Flow Body, Yun Xiao turned his head and said this, his voice filled with disdain and contempt.

”Hmph, this King’s array point chain supports each other fiercely. Don’t believe you can seal all twelve array points at once?”

Upon hearing Yun Xiao’s words, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit sneered derisively, believing that this human youth was merely putting on an act, with no better solution in mind.

After all, the twelve array points were spread along the entire shore of the big lake. Although the distance between two points wasn’t far, the furthest points stretched from one side of the lake to the other.

Even if this half-step Heavenly Rank human kid could fly, by the time he sealed this point and rushed to the next one, support between the points would have already been in place.

In this way, Yun Xiao could at most seal one or two points, which would be of little use to the current Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, and might even exhaust himself due to the consumption of Meridian Qi.

”A frog at the bottom of the well, daring to speak of the vastness of the sky?”

Hearing the scorn from the Holy Grade Strange Spirit, Yun Xiao shook his head, thinking how narrow-minded these folks from Tenglong Continent still were.

Nine-layered Dragon Cloud and Tenglong Continent were two completely unequal planes. What even the lowest cultivators of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud knew might be earth-shattering secrets if brought to Tenglong Continent.

For instance, this so-called Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array—a complete version of the Myriad Star Blood Gathering Array above it was likely unknown even to that Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit or the Master Heavenly Rank Array Master back then.

The Yun Xiao who could even break the Myriad Star Blood Gathering Array saw this Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array as nothing at all; at most, it was only because he hadn’t yet broken through to the Heavenly Rank, needing to expend more effort.

This minor support between the points had previously been overlooked, leading to unnecessary efforts, but now realizing this, he had dozens of ways to make the energy between these array points receive no support at all.

Shaking his head slightly, Yun Xiao calmly stepped back to the position of the first point under the cold gaze of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, his movements identical to before.

”Bluffing!”

Upon seeing this, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit began to mock once more, believing that the human youth was just trying to save face by pretending, with no real effect.

In the next moment, the eyes of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit turned to the position of the second array point from earlier. In its view, when the human youth sealed the first point, the seal of the second point was bound to collapse.

Swish, swish, swish!

Yun Xiao’s movements were swift, and as his Ancestral Vein Fire burst forth and the array flag fluttered, another sealing array swiftly formed.

At the moment the seal took shape, his gaze turned to the Water Flow Body with a faint smirk.

”This... this is impossible!”

At this moment, the body of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit Water Flow trembled violently, its hidden eyes fixed on the recent second seal.

For the second seal showed no sign of disturbance, unusually calm as if nothing had happened, which was completely contrary to what it expected!

”Explode, explode for me!”

Unwilling to believe the scene before it, the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit Water Flow Body roared fiercely, but unfortunately, at such a distance, its roar couldn’t affect the sealing array at all.

”I told you, you’re just a frog in a well, thinking you’re invincible with just a little knowledge of array arts?”

Boom!

At that moment, Yun Xiao’s soft voice came again, causing the Water Flow Body to shudder violently before suddenly exploding, turning into countless splashes that finally poured into the lake.

It was truly an explosion from rage, but after all, it was a water attribute Strange Spirit, entirely different from the self-destruction of human cultivators or Vein Demons, and wouldn’t die from it.

Splash!

In the next instant, the center of the lake surged again, and another Water Flow Body quickly formed, though its entire aura seemed barely contained.

”Do you believe now?”

For the regenerated Water Flow Body, Yun Xiao didn’t even blink, and with his soft rhetorical question, he directly bypassed the second point and headed toward the third array core.

”No, I don’t believe it!”

At this moment, the gaze of the Water Flow Body was locked onto Yun Xiao’s figure, or rather the third array point, which might be its last hope.

If the human youth could seal the third seal without any anomalies appearing in the first two, it meant he did possess some secrets. The Holy Grade Strange Spirit would have to take some reluctant actions.
