Chapter 1851 - 1718: Arranging the Killing Array
"As long as we can kill the Skull Venerable, any cost is worth it!" The Great Elder said decisively.
He knew well that the Lei Clan was lacking successors; if the strongest Death Creature, Skull Venerable, is not eliminated during his lifetime, the Lei Clan would be in danger!
In order to fulfill the ancestors’ legacy, and to completely remove the threat to their clan’s existence, both the Great Elder and the Clan Leader were willing to risk everything.
Seeing both the Great Elder and the Lei Clan’s Clan Leader agree, Ye Fan immediately contacted Bai Yan wolf and briefly explained the previously discussed matters.
Bai Yan wolf was originally sleeping soundly in the thatched hut of Thunderfire Grass, drooling over the Thunderfire Grass beside it. Upon hearing Ye Fan’s Transmission, it jumped up with bright eyes, with no signs of intoxication left.
Extremely greedy, it would never miss a chance to take advantage of the situation, and rushed to the residence of the Lei Clan’s Clan Leader.
Along the way, it didn’t know how many things it knocked over; even the cultivators of the direct lineage guarding the Clan Leader’s residence were knocked over like tumbling gourds.
"This... dog, what’s it going crazy for?"
The knocked-over Lei Clan cultivator from the direct lineage got up and mumbled quietly.
He also knew that Bai Yan wolf had once followed his ancestor. In terms of seniority, it was far beyond him. Even if it caused turmoil in the Clan Leader’s important residence, no one dared to do anything to it, they could only let it act crazily.
"Bang!"
Bai Yan wolf didn’t even bother to knock and directly slammed the door open with its big head, rushing into the living room and asking the Great Elder: "Old man, are you wanting to test my King’s Killing Array?"
The Great Elder stared dumbfounded at the door that was knocked to pieces; this creature’s head was too hard! That was a door made from Yin Spirit Wood, a specialty of this world, incredibly sturdy, yet it was shattered by a single headbutt from it.
"Hey, old man, you still haven’t answered me!" Bai Yan wolf impatiently glared at the Great Elder and said another sentence.
The Great Elder finally came back to his senses, glaring and saying, "I’m at least a strong person in the Venerable Realm, right? Can’t you just respect me a little? Moreover, I have a name, I’m called Lei Mingxiao, stop calling me old man all the time, am I that old?"
Seeing Lei Mingxiao and Bai Yan wolf bickering with anger and annoyance, Ye Fan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Clan Leader Lei Yuanhang was even more amused and helpless; in terms of seniority, Lei Mingxiao was a level higher than him, he should call him Clan Uncle.
Normally, Great Elder Lei Mingxiao was absolutely composed, showing neither joy nor anger, but today he was baited into a squabble with a wolf. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, feeling exceedingly stifled.
"Stop it!"
Bai Yan wolf arrogantly raised its big head and said, "Even if you’re in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, you’re still my junior, not calling you a brat is already a courtesy from my King."
This statement was absolutely outrageously arrogant, yet Great Elder Lei Mingxiao couldn’t retort.
Because what Bai Yan wolf said was true, Lei Mingxiao was only over a thousand years old, technically the great-grandson of Thunder Venerable, while Bai Yan wolf had followed Thunder Venerable, even lowering one generation, it was still higher in seniority.
"..."
Great Elder Lei Mingxiao bit his teeth and ultimately decided to endure it, why argue with a wolf? Winning wouldn’t be honorable, furthermore, he wasn’t skilled at verbal sparring.
"Old Bai, enough with the nonsense, we decided to eliminate the Death Creature on this Ancient Star, need you to arrange several Killing Arrays, how long will it take you to set up? Do you have confidence to kill the Death Creature in the Venerable Realm?"
Ye Fan diverted the topic to relieve the Great Elder.
"Kid, how can you say that? Others might not know my King’s Killing Array, don’t you know it?"
Bai Yan wolf squinted at Ye Fan, saying, "Not to mention Venerable Realm, even against Early-Stage Quasi-Emperor, my King can arrange several Emperor Killing Arrays and obliterate him."
"Uh..."
Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and Clan Leader Lei Yuanhang exchanged glances, then both looked at Ye Fan, meaning: Is this guy reliable, why does this sound so mysterious!
Ye Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled, he had no choice but to speak to Bai Yan wolf, "It’s not that I don’t believe, but they don’t believe. Hopefully, you can arrange a Killing Array to show them the power of the array, also give them peace of mind."
"Sure, sure!"
Bai Yan wolf’s attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, smiling and saying, "You want to test my King’s Killing Array, right? That’s quite simple, but wanting me to set up Killing Array requires at least a piece of Purple Crystal Divine Stone, correct?"
"..."
Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and Clan Leader Lei Yuanhang glanced at each other, and simultaneously thought: Why don’t you just go ahead and rob?
There are only two pieces of Purple Crystal Divine Stone in the entire Lei Clan, left by the ancestors, without a trace of a third piece on the entire Ancient Star, yet it just asked for one.
"You first set it up, if you can really kill the Skull Venerable in the Death Zone, my clan will give you a piece of Purple Crystal Divine Stone." Great Elder Lei Mingxiao grit his teeth, accepting Bai Yan wolf’s extortion.
However, he was someone who wouldn’t give away a rabbit without seeing an eagle; unless Bai Yan wolf’s Killing Array could be confirmed capable of killing the Skull Venerable, he wouldn’t provide it.
"Deal!"
Bai Yan wolf responded readily and then said, "I need nine Heaven Grade Spirit Stones, each no less than fist-sized, and also need Thunder Stone, Divine Blood Soil, Netherworld Water, Death Spirit Grass..."
It listed over a dozen materials in one breath, making Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and Clan Leader Lei Yuanhang look at each other.
These materials, the Lei Clan actually had them; after all, they’ve lived and propagated on this Ancient Star, managing it for over ten thousand years, they had this kind of savings.
In these hundreds of thousands of years, numerous geniuses and demons from Linxian Ancient Star had passed through here, and they traded various materials with these people.
"Old Bai, are you taking advantage of the situation?"
Ye Fan used divine consciousness Transmission to inquire Bai Yan wolf, as he had seen Bai Yan wolf arrange Killing Arrays before but never using so many materials.
"Kid, what do you mean?" Bai Yan wolf glanced at him displeased, saying, "Does this King look like such a lowly wolf?"
"You do!"
"Alright! We’ll provide the materials, please let the great White Wolf King showcase the power of the Killing Array!" Great Elder Lei Mingxiao spoke to Bai Yan wolf almost ingratiatingly.
"I’m tired, we can talk about it tomorrow!"
Bai Yan wolf yawned, swaggering out without giving Lei Mingxiao and Lei Yuanhang another glance.
"..."
Great Elder Lei Mingxiao was so annoyed that he gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap this mischievous wolf into a meat patty, it was too infuriating.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan, Bai Yan wolf, Great Elder Lei Mingxiao, and Clan Chief Lei Yuanhang headed directly to the Death Zone.
Since the Killing Array needed to be tested, trying it in their own survival area was clearly not feasible; testing it in the Death Zone could also eliminate some Death Creatures.
"This time, it’s all up to you!"
Upon arriving at the Death Zone, Great Elder Lei Mingxiao shook his sleeve and dumped all the materials Bai Yan wolf mentioned yesterday onto the ground. Nine Heaven Grade Spirit Stones emitted dazzling light, suspended in the air without touching dust.
"Chomp!"
Bai Yan wolf directly held onto a Heaven Grade Spirit Stone and bit off half, eating as he said, "I’m tasting for authenticity!"
"..."
Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and Clan Chief Lei Yuanhang were completely defeated by it; this was a guy with no bottom line—whoever stays with it is bound to be infuriated.
However, Bai Yan wolf didn’t continue fooling around; instead, he started seriously carving the Killing Array, spitting out nine Qingyu Platforms one after another, each engraved with complex mysterious Array Patterns, using Heaven Grade Spirit Stone to power the operation.
"Kid, don’t stand idle either, go carve an ordinary Killing Array powered by Earth Vein Dragon Qi; my Killing Array will be set within yours, borrowing your array’s energy." Bai Yan wolf instructed Ye Fan.
"Alright!"
This time, Ye Fan didn’t refuse; he nodded, using the Earth Observation Technique from Dragon Seeking Formulas to examine the terrain and dragon vein direction here.
Soon, he had an idea in mind and began carving the Killing Array on a dragon vein in the Death Zone.
Compared to Bai Yan wolf, his skill in Array Patterns was far inferior, but Dragon Seeking Formulas was a remarkable book; besides secret techniques of observing heaven and earth, it had secret techniques for using Earth Vein Dragon Qi and celestial stars to arrange Killing Arrays.
Ye Fan had only learned a smattering, but it was enough to arrange a flawed Killing Array.
Kunlong Formation!
Ye Fan was arranging a powerful Killing Array recorded in Dragon Seeking Formulas, but due to his inadequate skill, he could only arrange a rough version, yet he could still activate the Earth Vein Dragon Qi.
At any rate, this Killing Array wasn’t the main part of the entire array; as long as it could provide Dragon Qi for Bai Yan wolf’s array, it was sufficient.
After spending half a day sketching, Ye Fan’s Kunlong Formation was finally completed; merely a light stomp of his foot could initiate the Killing Array.
Meanwhile, Bai Yan wolf had almost finished carving his array, nearly exhausting himself to the point of spitting blood, recovering only after gulping down two large mouthfuls of Divine Liquid.
"Buzz!"
Bai Yan wolf threw the array platform into the Void, where it vanished completely without a trace, even Martial Arts Heavenly Eye couldn’t detect any abnormality.
Once Bai Yan wolf arranged the array platforms, Ye Fan, Great Elder Lei Mingxiao, and Clan Chief Lei Yuanhang divided into three directions, commencing a massacre, attracting Death Creatures into the Killing Array.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Fan, followed by thousands of Death Creatures, charged into the Killing Array. Great Elder Lei Mingxiao and Lei Clan Patriarch Lei Yuanhang also followed with a large number of Death Creatures, rushing into the array, then retreated as guided by Bai Yan wolf.
Ye Fan’s eyes emitted two Dragon shaped Divine Light beams, stomping fiercely to initiate Kunlong Formation, the earth almost flipped upside down, the dragon vein reversed direction, and streams of Dragon Energy shot out like Divine Swords, shredding Death Creatures.
"Ye, come out quickly!"
Bai Yan wolf transmitted to Ye Fan, guiding him to a safe route, then also activated the Killing Array.
"Boom!"
The entire Killing Array activated as if creating and destroying the world, with chaotic energy surging, each strand of chaotic energy could crush countless Qing Tian, almost within an instant, tens of thousands of Death Creatures entering the array were utterly obliterated.
"So...so strong!"
The scene before them stunned Lei Clan’s Great Elder and Clan Leader into jaw-dropping shock, they stammered in disbelief.
