Chapter 851 - 288: Heaven-Deceiving Array
...
"Everyone, be careful now, we’re entering the territory of the Wind-Chasing Fire Thunder Beast."
"This fierce beast is very powerful, skilled in thunder and fire demon techniques, and incredibly fast. We..."
In the mountain forest, three figures cautiously sneaked forward, speaking in hushed tones.
Their auras were strong, almost reaching the level of a Grandmaster.
Suddenly, the leading man’s eyes sharpened as he looked at the burly man ahead.
They saw that the Wind-Chasing Fire Thunder Beast, which they had set traps and ambushes for a long time, was now wavering on the brink of death, held in the hands of an ordinary-looking man.
"It’s yours now."
Lin Zheyu smiled and tossed the beast’s body over to them.
He had already heard their conversation clearly with his powerful perception.
After staying in the Chaotic Star Sea for so long, Lin Zheyu hadn’t found Shi Weiping, but he had gained a deeper understanding of the customs and practices of this place.
Here, it could be said to be even more like the Immortal Realm he had imagined.
The leading man caught the Wind-Chasing Fire Thunder Beast and was forced back several steps by the powerful force.
After stabilizing himself, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, senior, thank you!"
Lin Zheyu smiled slightly, no longer paying attention to the three cultivators.
Though there were many strong individuals in the Chaotic Star Sea, there were only a few truly powerful ones.
Lin Zheyu found that with his Foundation Establishment Peak strength, comparable to the Golden Core realm, he could almost walk unimpeded here.
He stepped forward, and the ground under his feet seemed to shrink. In just a few steps, he had disappeared from sight.
The three people earlier exchanged glances and swallowed, looking at each other in surprise.
"Damn, we forgot to ask to be his apprentice!"
The man with a full beard on the right regretfully exclaimed.
"Come on, at your age, no one would take you."
"Besides, we’ve already been deeply corrupted by demonic wills, and our path forward is already blocked."
The leading man said, somewhat dejectedly.
Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.
The rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy of the Chaotic Star Sea gave them stronger physiques and faster cultivation speeds than in Great Wei.
But at the same time, the demonic energy intertwined with the spiritual energy was constantly eroding them.
If one had amazing talent and was discovered early by a strong sect, taken in as a disciple, and brought to Dongtian World for cultivation, they could still purify the demonic wills within them.
But given their age and years of cultivation, it’s almost impossible now.
In the mountain forest.
A cyan phantom swiftly traversed through.
Lin Zheyu fiddled with the Tracking Compass, aimlessly wandering the sea, waiting for the latest positioning information.
Shi Weiping was really good at escaping, very slippery.
Lin Zheyu had been in the Chaotic Star Sea for over a month, running around following the Compass’s location, still unable to catch him.
"Maybe Shi Weiping has some kind of magical artifact that can conceal his aura."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
That would explain why he could still roam free for so long.
"It’s here!"
Lin Zheyu’s expression changed as he looked at the positioning information on the Compass.
After confirming the location, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
This time, Lin Zheyu didn’t believe he would escape!
The location on the Tracking Compass was very close to Lin Zheyu, only a dozen kilometers away.
With Lin Zheyu’s full-speed pursuit, he reached it within seconds.
A powerful surge of Qi Blood erupted, and Lin Zheyu’s form flickered as he fully activated the Inch Shrinking Skill, boosting his speed to the extreme.
In an instant, he soared to an astonishing thirty times the speed of sound!
"Not here..."
"Not here either..."
"Impossible, at such a close distance, how could he still get away? Could it be that his speed exceeds mine?"
Lin Zheyu’s powerful perception spread out, searching for Shi Weiping’s aura.
Yet no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find the other’s position, causing Lin Zheyu to start harboring some thoughts of giving up.
"Expand the search range!"
"Try it for another half month, and if he still can’t be found, give up this task."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
His form flickered, constantly expanding his search range.
After searching several locations, he came to a small island about ten kilometers in circumference.
The spiritual energy on this island was much denser than other places, and defense arrays and a Purification Array were set on the island.
"This island has cultivators stationed..."
Lin Zheyu hovered over the sea outside the island, frowning slightly.
If the Island Master of this island was too strong, he would have to give up.
Risking the offense of powerful cultivators for a single task wasn’t worth it.
His perception spread out.
Although Lin Zheyu’s knowledge of arrays was shallow, his high Martial Arts Realm and strength allowed him to see many things.
"It’s just a common Defense Array. Although the method is exquisite, due to the lack of strength of the person who set it up, it can only rely on skillful techniques to enhance the array’s strength."
"It seems the Island Master’s strength shouldn’t be too strong."
Lin Zheyu pondered silently.
He weighed it in his heart; if he were to break the array, with one full strike using the fourth cut of the Seven Extremes Blade, he could easily break through this array.
Normally, the arrays covering the island and protecting the cave mansion would have power above one’s own strength, otherwise, there wouldn’t be any need to set them up.
Setting up an array one could break through with a single strike was purely a waste of time, effort, and Spirit Stones.
Therefore, the Island Master’s strength should be below his own.
