Chapter 566: Chapter 386: Self Shadow, Capture! External Incarnation’s Plan

The illusion realm shattered.

The sky turned dark.

Countless shadows struck at the three like a swarm of venomous snakes.

The Heaven, Earth, and Three Talents Array was activated.

The Tier Seven Array, driven by top-grade Spirit Stones and the Qi of the Five Elements, was as solid as a rock.

Zhu Xing grasped the head of a snake formed from dark energy.

The three’s vast and pure True Essence swirled within the array, dispersing the invading dark energy completely.

"Such pure darkness?"

"Even with a Dark Spirit Root, it’s extremely hard to cultivate such powerful darkness within the Cultivation Realm."

All three looked up.

A massive Divine Venerable sat within the heavens and earth, shining eternally like an ancient Haoyang.

However, strands of darkness coiled around its body.

"This... this is the incarnation of Immortal Venerable Huihuang..."

Zhu Xing gazed at the darkness in the sky, a trace of longing flickering deep in his eyes.

"No, it’s more than that... This incarnation might even contain a strand of divine sense from Immortal Venerable Huihuang! From the Immortal Soul! Otherwise, it couldn’t have endured for so long!"

Intense white light flickered in Zhu Xing’s eyes.

It seemed that he was using some kind of pupil skill and identification skill.

Meanwhile, Zhong Heng was busy.

While Zhu Xing murmured, he swiftly extracted numerous array components from his Storage Space.

Driven by the Array Disc, he infused True Essence and Divine Sense.

The three arrays overlapped heavily.

Ordinary array masters, even a Tier Seven Array Master, would only be able to set up a single array of the same level.

High-level array masters might find it easier to set up lower-level arrays, but even stacking two arrays of the same level is quite difficult.

Otherwise, array masters wouldn’t need to develop multifunctional arrays; they could just stack different arrays together.

What is extremely difficult for any array master—a layered array within an array—was not hard for Zhong Heng.

The Qi of the Five Elements connected the three arrays.

Tier Seven Array, with the Heaven, Earth, and Three Talents Array at its core.

Outside, the Five Elements Sacred Beast Formation was arranged, with five sacred beast phantoms hovering, distributing power, the Power of the Five Elements circulating layer by layer, protecting the three.

On the outermost layer was the Array of Ten Thousand Transformations.

The Array of Ten Thousand Transformations theoretically allows the array master to release any element-based magic, given enough expertise in the magic arts.

The power is comparable to the magic cast by a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a Celestial Spirit Root of that attribute.

At the same time, it acts as a magic turret, with considerable power.

As Zhu Xing focused on the Divine Venerable,

In this realm, something seemed to awaken.

The Primordial Continent.

According to Monieya, it should be a place of picturesque mountains and rivers, rich in Spiritual Qi.

The area is not too large, smaller than a medium-sized Secret Realm.

However, it contains many spirit veins and has given birth to numerous spiritual races, where many deities dwell.

The mythical Divine Court of the Gods Continent is modeled after the Primordial Continent.

But now...

Dark clouds and black mist enveloped this realm.

A bitter wind roared, with winds piercing to the bone.

The earth was parched, riverbeds ran dry, only remnants of dead wood scattered on the ground, faint traces of blood red emerged from the black mist.

Amid the endless darkness, only the light emanating from the Divine Venerable dispelled the dark, becoming the sole illumination here.

In the darkness, three figures appeared.

Zhu Xing mumbled softly: "That dark energy, it’s eroding the Immortal Venerable..."

"They seek to obtain that strand of divine sense from Immortal Venerable Huihuang..."

"However, the divine sense means that we might have a chance to receive the Immortal Venerable’s inheritance."

"As far as I know, Immortal Venerable Huihuang hasn’t passed his path onto many, this might be an excellent opportunity..."

The next moment, Zhu Xing’s words came to an abrupt halt.

In the shadows, three people emerged.

One was a woman, her face seemed carved from ice and jade, yet devoid of emotion. She wore a deep blue robe adorned with intricate silver sword patterns.

Her demeanor was cold.

Another wore an ethereal, elegant azure robe fluttering in the wind, his stance as upright as bamboo, a smile on his face.

The last donned a meticulously crafted dark robe, with subtle patterns embroidered on it, his eyes appeared to harbor a sea of stars.

Emerging from the darkness were indeed those three!

At this moment, each of the three felt a surge of overwhelming shock.

Not because the figures mirrored themselves, such techniques aren’t exceedingly rare within the Cultivation Realm, not enough to astonish.

What surprised them was the boundless intent to kill emerging from within.

It was a cry from their very blood, from their True Essence, from their souls, from the realms of Jiuzhou!

"Kill them!"

In an instant, the darkness of heavens and earth engulfed the three.

A flicker of space power danced.

Zhong Heng could feel his Heaven, Earth, and Three Talents Array losing its link.

Zhu Xing and Yunmiao vanished from his side.

Zhong Heng looked up.

Like looking into a mirror, a figure almost identical to him stood before him.

The demeanor, the gaze, the aura, the cultivation were indistinguishable from his own.

"Kill you, I can obtain the gifts from heaven and earth?"

Two voices echoed almost simultaneously.

Zhong Heng and ’Zhong Heng’ moved with identical actions, tone perfect matches.

"Interesting,"

The same homogenous voice resounded again.

Zhong Heng’s Qi mechanism shifted, all three arrays operating in unison.

The counterfeit Zhong Heng nearly moved at the same time, both sets of three overlapping arrays grinding against each other like two massive millstones.

Zhong Heng attentively perceived the opposing array.

This experience of sensing a replicated array through conflict evoked some realization.

Light suddenly flickered in Zhong Heng’s eyes.

The River Map Analysis Ability initiated.
