Chapter 501: Class 8 Array

Chapter 501: Class 8 Array

Translator: jinzeffect

Crackle, crackle...

The walls of the array above the lookout island had multiple cracks.

The lookout island was constantly trembling. It felt as though a giant had sliced the island dozens of times and each slice would extend over dozens of miles to a hundred miles.

It wasn’t just no.5 lookout island, it was the same for the other lookout islands.

“Not good.”

On the iron tower, the imposing figure’s eyes contracted.

The lookout islands were enveloped with class 7 arrays and it wouldn’t possibly be broken unless it was attacked by a monarch or a demonic king.

Even if it was a monarch, it was impossible to break the array in just one or two attacks. Only high-level monarchs had the strength to destroy the array in a single strike.

It was obvious that it wasn’t a demonic king destroying the array. It was the waves from a stronger array that was destroying the foundation of the lookout island’s array.

If the array waves were able to gradually destroy class 7 arrays, even a fool would know that it must be a class 8 array.

Apart from class 8 arrays, class 7 arrays weren’t able to cover hundreds of thousands of miles of the sea region.

The limits of class 7 arrays were at best around 10,000 miles.

Only class 8 arrays could cover the range of hundreds of thousands of miles. It was said that the limit was a million miles.

He didn’t believe that the Red Flood Dragon King could set up a class 8 array. Only Law Phase Realm emperors or some Primary Sea Realm monarchs could set up class 8 arrays. But the precondition was that they were proficient in arrays. They must have a very high proficiency in arrays, otherwise, not even Law Phase Realm emperors could set up class 8 arrays.

If the Red Flood Dragon King could set up a class 8 array, the Red Rainbow Sect would have already been destroyed.

In terms of arrays, demonic beasts and demons knew nothing. Instead of believing they could set up class 8 arrays, it was more convincing if someone said that the Red Flood Dragon King had broken through to class 8 and became a demonic emperor.

“Stabilize!”

The imposing figure pressed down with his right hand. A massive and magnificent power stabilized the entire no.5 lookout island and the array.

Inner sect elders that could oversee the lookout islands were all monarchs that had cultivation beyond the 3rd level of Primary Sea Realm. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to deal with such emergencies. At the 4th level of Primary Sea Realm, it was possible for the imposing figure to oversee the lookout island that was a few hundred miles.

It was unknown how long could he hold it for.

“Everyone is to return to the lookout island.” The imposing figure burst out with a yell that reached out to thousands of miles.

“Hurry up and return. It seems like something huge is going to happen.”

“Go, I keep feeling ill at ease.”

All the Red Rainbow Sect’s elders and disciples desperately rushed back.

It was a pity that with the obstructions from the sea beasts, less than half the people could rush back to the lookout island immediately.

The imposing figure was actually a robust middle-aged man with greyish hair. At this moment, his forehead was perspiring with sweat.

Stabilizing the class 7 array that was about to collapse was much harder than he imagined.

It was the same feeling of someone trying to suppress the eruption of a volcano. The longer the suppression, the bigger the pressure.

“The first batch will teleport back now.” The robust middle-aged man spoke in a deep tone and it was obvious that his qi was lacking.

After a massive number of spirit stones were thrown into the cavity at the center of the teleportation platform, a radiance lit up and the first batch of a few hundred individuals vanished from the teleportation platform.

Li Fuchen was also on the way back to the lookout island as he wasn’t very lucky.

When the sea region appeared with the anomaly, he was the first to detect it.

But at that moment, he was surrounded by four class 6 mid-tier sea beasts and one of them possessed formidable bloodline. For a moment, he was unable to break out of the encirclement.

When the inner sect elder’s voice echoed, Li Fuchen risked getting injured to break out.

But he was too far away from the lookout island. When the first batch of people teleported, he was only halfway back.

Soon enough, the second batch had also teleported.

The batch had more people than the first batch. Close to 900 people had teleported out, only dozens of people didn’t make it back.

“I can only do it until this point.”

The robust middle-aged man vomited a mouthful of blood and suddenly rushed into the sky.

Boom!

The lookout island that was a few hundred miles in size had suddenly collapsed and the array broke along with it.

“No!”

The elders and disciples that couldn’t rush back in time were filled with despair. Without the protection of the lookout island’s array in this vast sea, they couldn’t possibly survive.

“Haha, kill these humans. They have nowhere to escape.”

From behind, a large number of sea beasts were in pursuit. Some of the class 6 sea beasts were extremely fast and had caught up to them.

“Board the battleship!”

The rest of the people had gathered together without hesitation. One of the inner sect monarch-class disciples took out a palm-sized battleship.

In the next moment, the battleship expanded and everyone boarded it.

Swish!

This was a class 6 small-sized battleship. Its speed was comparable to high-level Battle Spirit Realm masters. It flew like a stream of light and left the class 6 sea beasts behind. Only a few of the class 6 high-tier sea beasts were still following at the back.

“Everyone, my name is Xu Heng. This class 6 small-sized battleship is rented for 10,000 contribution coins a day. I have rented it for two days. There are forty of you here, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for everyone to pay 200 contribution coins a day, right?” The inner sect monarch-class disciple called Xu Heng had stated.

“It isn’t too much. 200 contribution coins for each day is too little for you. I suggest that everyone should pay 300 contribution coins a day. As for the spirit stones to operate the battleship, we will provide it too.” An outer sect elder said.

Without the battleship, they would certainly get scattered and quickly eliminated.

With the class 6 battleship, as long as they supplied enough low-grade spirit stones, it would be able to burst out with the firepower of a mid-level Battle Spirit Realm master. If it was filled with mid-grade spirit stones, it could actually burst out with the firepower of a high-level Battle Spirit Realm master. Most importantly, the battleship was fast enough and when they rode the battleship, they didn’t have to exhaust any qi.

This was extremely important. After all, the sea was vast and extensive, once the qi was depleted, it would be hard to constantly replenish one’s qi with spirit stones and elixirs.

“Elder Wan is right. We should give you 300 contribution coins a day. It is fortunate that you rented a class 6 battleship, otherwise, we will all be dead.”

The rest of the people nodded and didn’t even try to negotiate.

At this moment, resources were important but not as important as their lives.

Let alone 300 contribution coins, even if they had to pay 500 or 1000 contribution coins a day, they would also be willing.

Boom!

The battleship shook as a winged giant fish shot out a bubble that smashed on the ship.

“It is the class 6 high-tier sea beast, Flying Shadow Fish. Don’t waste your spirit stones, I will deal with it.”

Elder Wan was at the 8th level of Battle Spirit Realm. He drew his battle saber and slashed through the battleship’s array to cleave the Flying Shadow Fish.

Tss Tss Tss...

The saber light like a lightning flashing across the sky. It shuddered nine times along the way and with each shudder, the saber light would change its trajectory. The Flying Shadow Fish couldn’t even react in time and when it was struck by the lightning saber light, it fell from the sky.

“Such an incredible saber art!”

Li Fuchen could see that Elder Wan’s saber art was an earth class peak-tier martial art and it wasn’t superior to the Cloud Flame Thousand Incineration in terms of profundity.

But Elder Wan was at the 8th level of Battle Spirit Realm.

With a higher cultivation level, one would be able to exhibit more of the true profundity of the martial arts.

If a Primary Sea Realm monarch was here, a casual move would easily achieve the profundity of an earth class high-tier martial art. Only earth class peak-tier martial arts could enhance a Primary Sea Realm’s combat strength.

This was why martial artists would require a higher class of martial arts as their cultivation increased.

With the increase in cultivation, martial arts of the lower classes wouldn’t be useful anymore. A casual attack would already contain all of the essence from the martial arts that were mastered.

When one’s cultivation reached the later phase, many of the martial arts’ essence would be fused into your fundamentals. A casual move would contain countless martial arts’ essence.

Elder Wan’s saber art was also at the trance stage but his qi circulation method was extremely exquisite and very detailed. Li Fuchen’s sword art might be the same stage, but due to his cultivation, it was hard to be detailed.

As class 6 high-tier sea beasts attacked, Elder Wan struck them down one after the other.

With Elder Wan’s strength, unless it was a class 6 high-tier sea beast with formidable bloodline, no other sea beasts would be a match for him.

High above the sky, the robust middle-aged man didn’t leave yet.

Looking down from above, he was finally able to see everything clearly.

Looking at the sea of blood, blood-colored patterns were appearing.

The blood-colored pattern was obviously an array pattern and it was emitting horrific waves. It caused the sea to boil and the weather to change. There were waterspouts that connected the sky to the sea, the dark clouds in the sky were slowly converging and emitting a world destructive qi presence.

“Class 8 array, this is definitely a class 8 array!” The robust middle-aged man took a deep breath.

He had never seen a class 8 array, but only a class 8 array could explain everything.

The array patterns that he could see was only a small portion of the entire class 8 array. There were more array patterns that he couldn’t see, as he was at the 4th level of Primary Sea Realm and could only release his awareness by a little more 10,000 miles.

Each level in the Primary Sea Realm had an extremely huge gap.

The gap was so huge that unless the monarchs cultivated heaven class manuals, it was impossible to compensate for the gap.

In between each level of the Primary Sea Realm, the capability of the awareness was also extremely huge.

At the 1st level of Primary Sea Realm, the awareness could only reach a few thousand miles. It would increase by 50% at the 2nd level of Primary Sea Realm, it would increase by another 50% at the 3rd level of Primary Sea Realm.

As a 4th level of Primary Sea Realm monarch, it was already praiseworthy for his awareness to extend more than 10,000 miles.

Despite the case, a scouting range of 10,000 miles was only a tip of the iceberg of the class 8 array. Only Law Phase Realm emperors were able to use their awareness to envelop the entire class 8 array.

But was this class 8 array activated intentionally or unintentionally?

If it was activated intentionally, what exactly was the Red Flood Dragon King planning?

“The class 8 array is going to activate soon. If I don’t leave, it will be hard to predict if I will be able to survive.”

The robust middle-aged man’s eyes spotted the class 6 small-sized battleship a few thousand miles away.

Swish!

It was impossible to see the movement trajectory of the robust middle-aged man. In just a short moment, the robust middle-aged man caught up to the battleship.

“Let me send you out. The rest will be up to yourselves.”

A surge of boundless qi enveloped the battleship. The robust middle-aged man pushed forcefully and launched the battleship at a speed that was dozens of times faster than before. Had it not been for the robust middle-aged man’s qi protection, the battleship would have crumbled at such speed.
