Chapter 212: Breaking the Killing Array, Entering the Cave Mansion!
“My Lord…”
“My Lord, you have exited your meditation…”
Qingqiu Qianqian walked up to Su Qin and cautiously asked, “My Lord, are you from the Golden Crow Clan?”
From the flames in Su Qin’s pupils, she faintly saw a three-legged bird, which was very similar to the legendary Three-legged Golden Crow. Hence, she mustered the courage to ask.
“Golden Crow Clan…”
Su Qin shook his head, “No, I am not.”
Although he can incarnate as a Golden Crow, as long as he practices the [Burning Sun Divine Art] in the [12 Divine Beast Statues], and was basically no different from a real Three-legged Golden Crow.
But Su Qin was essentially a human.
The so-called Golden Crow incarnation was just birthed from a Divine Art.
“No…”
s
Qingqiu Qianqian’s face showed a trace of disappointment.
If Su Qin was really from the Golden Crow Clan, maybe she could’ve been released for the sake of belonging to the same Monster Clan…
But now, Su Qin denied it.
Qingqiu Qianqian also didn’t think Su Qin would lie to her.
With Su Qin’s strength, he would have killed her if he wanted to. Why would he lie to her?
“My Lord.”
“I will now take you to the Cave Mansion.”
Qingqiu Qianqian said respectfully immediately, wanting to express herself.
Soon, Su Qin and Qingqiu Qianqian came to the depths of the Ying State Monster Island.
In fact, even if Qingqui Qianqian wasn’t leading him, Su Qin could still tell the location of the Cave Mansion. After all, the Ying State Mobster Island was only so big, it would only be a matter of time.
Regardless, since the Demon Fox Race had occupied this place for so long, they must know more than Su Qin.
“My Lord.”
“That is where the Cave Mansion is.”
Qingqiu Qianqian pointed somewhere ahead.
In the depths of the Ying State Monster Island, there was a lake spanning more than ten miles in size. The water of the lake was extremely clear and in the middle of the lake was a small island.
This island was far smaller than the Ying State Monster Island. It was only the size of several li, but all of the World’s Essence Qi on the entire Ying State Monster Island were moving towards it.
“My Lord, although this lake looks tranquil, if there are any creatures entering it, they will die ten times out of ten.”
A hint of fear could be heard in Qingqiu Qianqian’s tone.
“The Killing Array is at the bottom of the lake?”
Su Qin looked at the lake with great interest. He had already scanned the lake with the [Eyes of Truth] and [Celestial Eyes], and discovered that there was a power lurking under the lake.
This power was extremely obscure, and the ordinary Divine Sense wouldn’t be able to detect it. Even if it was covered by a Domain, one may just ignore it.
Only when Su Qin observed using the [Eyes of Truth] and [Celestial Eyes] can he perceive something was wrong.
“True Monarch of the Eastern Sea…Tsk…”
Su Qin shook his head slightly. Although he had never seen the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea, through the Killing Array under the lake, he was able to tell that the other party prefers to ‘cheat’ people.
Generally speaking, a Defense Array will show its power to the utmost, making people feel hopeless of even breaking in and entering.
But the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea converged the power of the Killing Array to the extreme. In this way, unknowing creatures will enter the lake with absolute joy when they see it, before being strangled by the power of the Killing Array.
“My Lord.”
“The Killing Array in the lake has 9 total layers. The techniques of the True Monarch are all fire-attributed. The Killing Array laid out is also fire-attributed.”
“In the First Layer of the Killing Array is an endless sea of fire. If you want to survive the First Layer, you must resist the flames in the sea of fire.”
“But this is impossible.”
“The sea of fire arranged by the True Monarch is very strong, even a powerhouse of the Earth Immortal level may not be able to resist it.”
Qingqiu Qianqian said in a low voice.
The Demon Fox Race had tried breaking through the First Layer for nearly 10,000 years. 6,000 years ago, a Four-Tailed Demon Fox Race even wanted to break through, but she was caught on fire and burned into nothingness.
One must know that even if the strength of a Four-Tailed Demon Fox was not as good as an Earth Immortal, it was not far away. Yet, she still wasn’t able to withstand a single blow of the First Layer. From this, one can see the horror of the Killing Array.
Due to this, the ancestors of the Demon Fox Race believed that the small island in the middle of the lake contained the most important things of the True Monarch.
Otherwise, why did the True Monarch spend much effort and arrange so many Layers of Killing Array on the lake?
“How does the Demon Fox Race deal with the Killing Array?”
Su Qin didn’t immediately take action. Instead, he continued to use the [Eyes of Truth] to scan the Killing Array under the lake.
“My Lord, thousands of years ago, my ancestors discovered that the power of the Killing Array was weakening.”
“According to the speculation of the ancestors at the time, they wanted to wait for the power of the Killing Array to decline to a certain level.”
Qingqiu Qianqian said this with a hint of bitterness on her face.
Because they waited for thousands of years yet they were still unable to break through the Killing Array…
“That’s a good way.”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
The Killing Array was still a type of Heaven and Earth Array.
Since it was a Heaven and Earth Array, if the owner does not maintain it for a long time, it will eventually decay.
Killing Arrays arranged by 1st and 2nd Heavenly Layer Legends will lose its effectiveness within decades or hundreds of years if not maintained.
The higher the strength of the creator, the longer the Heaven and Earth Array will exist.
For example, the Heaven and Earth Array set by a Peak 9th Heavenly Layer Legend can survive at least 1,000 years.
As for a Peak Earth Immortal like the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea, the Killing Array he set up will last thousands of years.
In addition, the vitality on Ying State Monster Island also helped prolong the existence of the Killing Array.
Nonetheless, whether it was the Heaven and Earth Array that covered the Ying State Monster Island or the Nine-layered Killing Array in the lake, both were still slowly declining.
According to Su Qin’s estimation, in at most hundreds of thousands of years, all of the Heaven and Earth Arrays will collapse.
“Almost figured it out.”
Su Qin’s thoughts fluctuated.
Using the [Eyes of Truth], [Celestial Eyes] and his experience when refining the black stone tablet, he almost uncovered the power limit of the Killing Array.
Thousands of years ago, if the power of this Killing Array had just begun to decline, Su Qin would not dare to enter it.
But now… it’s different.
Su Qin took a step forward and walked on the calm lake.
“Not good!”
When Qingqiu Qianqian next to him saw this scene, her pupils immediately shrunk.
She didn’t expect that Su Qin was so impulsive to just enter the Killing Array.
“My Lord, come back, I still have a lot of things to say about the Killing Array.”
Qingqiu Qianqian shouted anxiously.
For the past 10,000 years, the Demon Fox Race had god knows how many attempts in breaking through the array. It can be said that they have countless lessons that they learned the hard way.
In Qingqiu Qianqian’s opinion, even if Su Qin really wanted to enter the Killing Array, he at least has to wait until she has said all these things. This way, he will have a lot of understanding about the Killing Array. At least in the end, even if he can break through, he can still retreat alive.
However, just then…
[Hong long long~]!
She saw a terrifying flame soaring into the sky that quickly covered the surrounding area, turning into a sea of fire. It moved towards Su Qin and was engulfing him.
“It’s over…”
Qingqiu Qianqian’s hands and feet went cold.
Su Qin planted a strand of Divine Sense within her body. Once Su Qin dies in the Killing Array, the strand of Divine Sense inside her would explode and Qingqiu Qianqian will inevitably die with him.
Just when Qingqiu Qianqian closed her eyes and waited for death.
[Weng~]!!!
The seemingly endless sea of fire was rapidly decreasing, and finally the figure of Su Qin appeared.
All the flames turned into pillars of fire one after the other and they poured into Su Qin’s mouth and nose.
Under Qingqiu Qianqian’s shocked gaze.
Su Qin slowly casually strolled along the sea of fire. The flames could not get close within three feet of his body. The flames were also being devoured. He looked like a God of Fire.
Even just by standing there, he gave the impression to people that he was the eternal sun that would shine through the ages.
“This is?!”
Qingqiu Qianqian’s eyes went wide, she couldn’t believe it.
She doesn’t know how many of her ancestors were burned in the First Layer of the Killing Array. Even a Four-Tailed Demon Fox powerhouse was burned in it.
But now, the sea of fire was acting like a well-behaved rabbit in front of Su Qin. This scene had shattered Qingqiu Qianqian’s cognition of the Killing Array.
Su Qin was strong, as he was able to kill the current Matriarch of the Demon Fox Race, Qingqiu Qingling.
But for Qingqiu Qianqian, no matter how strong Su Qin was, at best he can only pass the Killing Array, but now?
Qingqiu Qianqian was dumbfounded.
However, her shock did not stop there.
An even more incredible scene happened.
“Too little.”
“Is this all the flames?”
Su Qin frowned. Although he didn’t practice the [Burning Sun Divine Art] yet, he still comprehend it and realized a little bit of the power of the Supreme Yang Divine Fire of the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Under this situation, the so-called fire not only did not cause harm to Su Qin, but was also ‘nutritional’ for him.
Yes, he was using the fire as ‘nourishment’ for the [Burning Sun Divine Art].
Thinking of this, Su Qin turned his gaze and looked at the remaining eight Killing Arrays.
[Hong long long~]
Su Qin stepped out and appeared directly in the deepest part of the lake, only a few meters away from the small island that was in the middle of the lake.
Suddenly, the Killing Array below the lake began to activate crazily. More fire began to rise, and it was so trying that even the void began to twist.
In the Ying State Monster Island, a large number of World’s Essence Qi flooded in, constantly supplementing the needs of the Killing Array.
However, contrary to what most would think, amidst the raging flames, Su Qin wore a comfortable expression. A large amount of flames were being devoured into his body while following the cultivation method of the [Burning Sun Divine Art].
Then, a huge stone figure appeared behind Su Qin.
On this stone figure was a big sun that was emitting thousands of light spots.
These light spots were densely packed and were extremely dim.
At this moment, with the influx of a large amount of flames, among the thousands of light spots, a light spot at the extreme edge was slowly lighting up.
s
However, as soon as the light spot was halfway up its peak brightness, it stopped and turned dim again.
That was because at this moment, no more flames appeared in the lake.
The entire lake was empty, and the Nine-layered Killing Array that had blocked the Demon Fox Race for nearly 10,000 years was reduced to ashes.
“This…”
Qingqiu Qianqian’s eyes fell out of its sockets. She just stood dumbfounded in place, immersed in shock.
