“Did you think that I would let you do as you wish?” Xin Yu had already decided to use her full strength, so she naturally wouldn’t hold back! She threw out the ball of spiritual energy in her hand and it flew towards the slowly operating Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array!
The countless souls of the deceased let out excited cries! One by one, they crawled out of the spiritual energy ball and flew towards the array.
The number of the undead increased until they covered the sky and the sun! The originally bright and beautiful sky had now become a sky for the dead. It turned pitch black.
Ling Qingyun’s eyes widened. The spiritual energy ball was only the size of a little girl’s palm, but it contained more dead souls than the 100,000 cultivators!
These undead weren’t the ordinary souls she saw in the small world of Avici Hell. They were all souls with cultivation!
The weakest was at the Qi cultivation stage, and the strongest was at the foundation establishment stage! There were close to a million of them!
Muahahahaha! Countless souls laughed sinisterly! They had finally seen the light of day again! With a hatred for the living, they madly bit and tore at the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array. The illusory souls intended to devour the dragons condensed from spiritual energy.
“Detestable!” Ling Qingyun could feel the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array trembling.
Right now, she was condensing her first attack, one of the Nine Heavens, A Sorrowful Heaven Without Mourning! The array did not have any energy to spare to deal with these miscreants.
Humph! A hint of slyness flashed in Xin Yu’s eyes. The Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array was good at distributing damage and its attacks were extremely powerful!
However, its weakness was that it could only unleash one attack at a time and required a long preparation time!
Xin Yu smiled. Then, she stretched out her hand and another spiritual energy ball with countless souls trapped in it appeared in her hand!
“She actually has another one! How many dead souls does she have?” Ling Qingyun looked at the ball of spiritual energy in Xin Yu’s hand in disbelief!
Even after 1000 years, it was impossible for the five upright sects to have more than a million cultivators. There weren’t even that many cultivators, so how could Xin Yu have so many dead souls?
“If we continue to let the dead souls bite the array, it might be defeated before it can launch its first attack,” Ling Qingyun thought bitterly. She could feel countless things gnawing at every inch of her skin! If they didn’t quickly deal with these dead souls, they would definitely be defeated!
“This ball of spiritual energy is exactly the same as the first one,” Zhou Yun murmured as he looked at the spiritual energy ball in Xin Yu’s hand that contained countless souls.
boxn ov el. c o mHe realized that when Xin Yu condensed the second ball of spiritual energy, the great momentum of heaven and earth around her distorted momentarily!
“Could it be that the distortion of the great momentum of heaven and earth is related to Xin Yu’s ability to condense a second spiritual energy ball that is exactly the same as the first one?” Zhou Yun speculated.
At the same time, Ling Qingyun was doing her best to prepare the first attack of the array and had no way of dealing with the souls.
Zhou Yun knew that he could not rely on her. As for all the disciples, they were providing all their spiritual energy for the operation of the array. If he didn’t think of a countermeasure soon, they would be defeated before the array could truly fight against Xin Yu!
“Perhaps this is an application of the great momentum of heaven and earth. It allows Xin Yu to release the exact same martial technique!” Zhou Yun had been in the Enlightenment State all this while. He was frantically thinking about Xin Yu’s usage of the great momentum of heaven and earth and all its possibilities.
“If I can identify the logic behind Xin Yu’s use of the great momentum of heaven and earth, I will be able to use it too. Perhaps I can stop her from releasing the second spiritual energy ball that contains countless undead,” thought Zhou Yun as he stared at Xin Yu’s every move with a burning gaze.
As expected, after Xin Yu had condensed the spiritual energy ball that contained countless undead, Zhou Yun saw another wave of great momentum of heaven and earth distort around her.
“I think I have grasped her trick! Although I still don’t know how she uses the great momentum of heaven and earth to complete this operation, I might be able to stop her.” Zhou Yun realized that every time Xin Yu did something to the ball of spiritual energy, she would need to draw from the great momentum of heaven and earth again.
Perhaps this was his chance! When Xin Yu was about to initiate her next move, he would be able to stop her and prevent her from releasing any more spiritual energy balls.
“But how am I going to stop Xin Yu from drawing the great momentum of heaven and earth while I am inside the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array?” Zhou Yun wondered worriedly.
Suddenly, Xin Yu raised her hand high, as if she was mocking Ling Qingyun’s futile efforts. She raised her hand high and the great momentum of heaven and earth was slowly disrupted. Endless spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and surrounded her.
The ball of spiritual energy in her hand slowly became filled up. The screams of nearly a million undead inside reverberated throughout the space. When Xin Yu unleashed this ball of spiritual energy, the array formed from 100,000 cultivators would be completely destroyed.
“Detestable!” Ling Qingyun looked at Xin Yu’s actions and cursed out loud. She hadn’t expected that the first attack of the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array would take so long to charge up. When faced with a nascent soul cultivator, it felt like an eternity!
In that same span of time, Xin Yu had summoned a million souls twice. It was so long that all their efforts would be in vain. They would be defeated.
Just as Xin Yu was feeling smug and Ling Qingyun was gritting her teeth in anger, a completely different energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space.
This fluctuation was very subtle. In fact, it was insignificant compared to Xin Yu, who seemed to have become the protagonist of the world. However, it was real.
Following the fluctuation of the great momentum of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy ball that Xin Yu had condensed in her hand and was ready to release was instantly reduced to nothingness.
Xin Yu’s attack had actually been neutralized. Ling Qingyun was overjoyed. Now, the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array would definitely be able to last until the first attack was completed!
On the other hand, Xin Yu’s facial expression became serious!
She was very familiar with what this fluctuation was! This was a movement that would only happen when the great momentum of heaven and earth was drawn! There was actually someone who was able to mobilize the great momentum of heaven and earth when she was in complete control of the world!
Could it be that another nascent soul cultivator had appeared? Xin Yu stopped playing around and inspected her surroundings cautiously! Could it be that mysterious Venerable Xunling had come?
She looked around cautiously and followed the fluctuation of the great momentum of heaven and earth. Finally, she found the person who was the cause of this!
“Zhou…Yun? It’s you!” Xin Yu was stunned. She never imagined that a cultivator at the foundation establishment stage could actually disrupt the great momentum of heaven and earth that she had complete control over.
She exclaimed, “This is impossible, no matter how much of a prodigy you are. Right now, you can only slightly comprehend the great momentum of heaven and earth. You can’t even use it! You are just like a beggar who happened to pick up a spiritual stone! How could you rely on this spiritual stone to instantly comprehend and cultivate up to the golden core stage? In fact, what you did is even more ridiculous than this metaphor!” She couldn’t believe that such a ridiculous thing could happen!
She looked at Zhou Yun’s current state and was stunned. She was speechless!
