Chapter 713: Chapter 711: Huge Profit

Here’s the English translation:

"Sect Master Ning, it has been many years!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker soared into the sky, standing above the Immortal Boat, waving a feather fan in his hand, radiating a demeanor of immortal charm.

"Fellow Daoist Law Breaker, with such pomp and posturing, what exactly is your intention?"

Ning Daoran said indifferently, "Could it be that you truly think you can destroy my Treasure Bottle Sect with these pathetic scraps?"

"Shut your damn mouth!"

A Nascent Soul Early Stage Elder of the Demon Cloud Sect rose angrily into the air, bellowing, "Ning Daoran, don’t assume that your merits in the Battle of Descent give you the right to act so conceited. Our Sect Master is present; you’d best curb your arrogance!"

"How dare you mock us as pathetic scraps! Ning, you have quite the audacity!"

Another Nascent Soul Early Stage Elder glared coldly, "This time, the Demon Cloud Sect has mobilized tens of thousands of cultivators and a thousand boats advancing together. We’re eager to see what your Treasure Bottle Sect has to rely on for defense!"

"Sect Master Ning."

The Star Monarch Law Breaker squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "If you leave Treasure Bottle Sect now with your disciples, and surrender the sect’s foundational treasures, I will spare your life and the lives of your disciples. What say you?"

"Dream on! Such wishful thinking!" True Monarch Wanhua interjected with a frown.

Xuanlong True Monarch also ascended into the air, cursing, "A pack of degenerates from the Demon Cloud Sect dares to lay hands on our Treasure Bottle Sect? Even if every single disciple of our Treasure Bottle Sect has to die fighting, we will never bow to your Demon Path sect!"

"Exactly!"

Chen Yiyang’s gaze was cold. "I would sooner die than surrender!"

Behind him, a surge of Treasure Bottle Sect disciples stirred, each ascending with tunneling light, wielding their treasures and shouting in unison, "We swear to live and die with Treasure Bottle Sect! Sect Master, give the command, and we will fight them to the last!"

"Humph, a bunch of ants!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker’s eyes were filled with disdain as he sneered, "Ning Daoran, are you truly set on engaging in battle? You should know that I came prepared this time. It’s far beyond what your mere few Void Returning Arrays can withstand. If you’re planning to rely on those arrays to exhaust my Divinity Transformation power, you’d simply be making yourself a laughingstock."

"Rest assured, Ancestor, we can break the array immediately!"

From the Demon Cloud Sect crowd, several Golden Core Stage cultivators stepped forth, producing talismans, all of them Fourth-tier Lower Grade Forbidden Breaking Talismans.

"These damned scoundrels!"

True Monarch Wanhua frowned and transmitted his thoughts, "A few years ago, Demon Cloud Sect was scouring everywhere for Fourth-tier Lower Grade Forbidden Breaking Talismans. It turns out they were planning to use them against our Treasure Bottle Sect."

Ning Daoran’s gaze remained calm.

Indeed, a sufficient quantity of Fourth-tier Lower Grade Forbidden Breaking Talismans—as evidenced by this sight, with hundreds being unleashed at once—could easily destroy the Void Returning Array. After all, they’re Fourth-tier talismans, and even the Void Returning Array would struggle to entirely nullify their destructive power.

The Star Monarch Law Breaker intended to use the mana from Demon Cloud Sect’s Golden Core Stage cultivators as sacrifices to counter Ning Daoran’s strategy of consuming his Immortal Origin Power through array manipulation.

This would have been troublesome before.

But now things were entirely different. Ning Daoran’s storage ring contained three fully assembled Fifth-Grade Lower Grade Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Arrays. Against Fifth-Grade arrays, the destructive power of Fourth-order Forbidden Breaking Talismans would be drastically reduced. Moreover, the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array possessed exceptional durability and even some degree of self-repair, rendering hundreds of Forbidden Breaking Talismans falling upon it nearly inconsequential.

Simply put, the talismanic Xuan Power within Fourth-tier Forbidden Breaking Talismans was generally unable to breach Fifth-rank arrays.

"Fellow Daoist Law Breaker, I must admit, impressive tactics."

Ning Daoran clapped and laughed, "You even considered this angle—no wonder you would mount such an ostentatious assault on my Treasure Bottle Sect. But so be it. Today I am in a good mood, and I shall let Fellow Daoist Law Breaker witness the truth behind the saying: there is always someone stronger, and the heavens are infinite!"

With that, he struck his storage ring, and with a flash of mana, numerous array flags and plates—sixty-four sets in total—flew forth, ascending swiftly in all directions.

"Activate!"

With Ning Daoran’s low command, roaring heavenly sounds surged from the depths of the earth, and in an instant, a massive golden array brimming with wind-and-thunder power emerged, enshrouding the entire Treasure Bottle Sect!

The Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array, a Fifth-Grade Lower Grade formation, adept in both offense and defense!

"What?!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker was dumbstruck!

He had observed the legendary Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array during the decisive battle of the Battle of Descent while hiding deep in the Tanghua Forest. At the time, the array was the sole surviving one in the North Sea Cultivation World, but after it was destroyed, it had faded into obscurity. How could Ning Daoran possess such an array now, and in perfect and complete form?

"Boom boom boom~~~"

In the eruption of thunderous roars, the perimeter surrounding the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array was engulfed in golden wind and lightning. Any intruder near the array was subjected to ferocious counterattacks equivalent to a Fifth-rank Lower Grade Killing Array. Not even Nascent Soul cultivators—let alone Divinity Transformation cultivators—would underestimate its lethality!

"Sect Master... has truly succeeded?"

True Monarch Wanhua was overjoyed, turning to Ning Daoran, "The Sect Master is undoubtedly a true prodigy in the Array Path..."

"The Sect Master’s formations are truly remarkable..."

Chen Yiyang and Xuanlong True Monarch stared in shock.

Meanwhile, the Treasure Bottle Sect disciples, protected by the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array, were elated. Some of the female disciples blushed as they looked toward Ning Daoran, their hearts brimming with pride—this was their Sect Master!

...

"Sect Master!"

Outside, the Demon Cloud Sect disciples were left dumbfounded, and someone murmured, "Should we still attack the Treasure Bottle Sect?"

"..."

The Star Monarch Law Breaker was caught in a dilemma.

"Sect Master..."

A Nascent Soul Middle Stage Elder said, "Since we’ve already arrived, there’s no need for further hesitation. Let’s press forward. With so many Fourth-tier Forbidden Breaking Talismans prepared, we might just break through his Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array yet!"

"Hmm!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker nodded, "All disciples heed my command! Attack the formation with me. Once this array is breached, leave no one from Treasure Bottle Sect alive—kill them all!"

"Kill!"

A cacophony of explosive sounds filled the air as hundreds of Fourth-tier Lower Grade Forbidden Breaking Talismans were ignited. Golden Core Stage cultivators unleashed their treasures for protection and charged recklessly into the perimeter of the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array, activating the talismans!

"Peng Peng Peng~~~"

The sound of explosions resonated as talismans detonated like bombs on the outer barrier of the array. Golden ripples spread outward continuously, gradually wearing down the array power of the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array!

But simultaneously, the wind and thunder outside the array lashed out, shredding countless limbs and bodies that rained down from the sky. Many Demon Cloud Sect disciples never even reached the edges of the array before being slain—a horrifically brutal sight!

"Break it!!!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker summoned a colossal Divinity Transformation Dharma Image wielding a phoenix-tailed battle axe, which he swung down upon the array. Immense Divinity Transformation power clashed violently against the array’s energy, causing it to tremble continuously!

"Maintain the pressure!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker said in a low voice, "A mere Fifth-Grade Lower Grade formation cannot hope to impede the advance of my Demon Cloud Sect!"

"Charge without hesitation!"

A group of Demon Cloud Sect protectors and elders roared, urging their disciples forward despite their horrified expressions. Forced by public and internal pressure, the disciples continued to wield treasures and talismans against the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array!

In the air, the battle axe fell repeatedly, causing thunderous eruptions to ripple through the array!

The Star Monarch Law Breaker seemed resolute on killing Ning Daoran and seizing control of the Fifth-rank top-grade spiritual veins at Divine Leaf Mountain. His Immortal Origin Power surged within him as he unleashed wave after wave of Divinity Transformation assaults!

After dozens of strikes, the Star Monarch Law Breaker frowned deeply.

The incomplete spiritual energy rules of the mortal world meant that Immortal Origin Power in his body wasn’t replenishable; its usage was finite. After delivering over forty blows, his consumption was significant, proving that he had indeed exerted considerable effort for Demon Cloud Sect’s sake!

At this point, the Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array—having endured relentless attacks—was beginning to crack externally!

The sheer number of opponents using talismans, coupled with a determined Divinity Transformation Stage attack, was overwhelming. Although the array was sturdy, it couldn’t withstand such a sustained assault indefinitely!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the cracks across the array wall had multiplied!

"Sect Master..."

True Monarch Wanhua frowned, "At this point, there’s no need for us to continue relying on the array’s defense. We can charge out!"

"No, you’re being impulsive."

Ning Daoran replied, "Don’t worry; I have a plan."

As he spoke, his Divine Sense swept across the array flags and plates, noting varying degrees of damage. Now was the perfect time to retrieve them, as repairing them would only cost tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Bear in mind, creating a full Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array typically required around five million Spirit Stones. Repairing it for a fraction of the cost amounted to significant profit!

Besides, the array had already achieved its purpose—exhausting the Star Monarch Law Breaker’s Immortal Origin Power, consuming numerous talismans, and eliminating many Demon Cloud Sect cultivators. If the array were destroyed now, it would be a small profit.

But saving and repairing it? That would be a colossal profit!

"Go!"

With a strike to his storage ring, a new set of array flags and plates flew out to various positions. Another surge of robust array power emanated from the earth!

"Activate!"

With Ning Daoran’s low command, a second Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array suddenly layered atop the first, followed by his forceful directive: "Retrieve!"

The first array disappeared instantly, transforming into countless slightly damaged array flags and plates that returned to Ning Daoran’s storage ring.

...

"What?!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker gawked at the newly activated, pristine Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array before him, his expression darkening instantly.

"How could this be..."

The Demon Cloud Sect’s Deputy Sect Master was stunned. "How could he still have..."

Ning Daoran stated casually, "From the start, did I ever claim that I only had one Heavenly Yuan Wind Thunder Array? To be frank, Fellow Daoist Law Breaker, I possess more of these arrays. If you doubt me, continue your assault. When your Immortal Origin Power is depleted, will you rely on your Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation to duel me on the open seas? If that’s your plan, your death is guaranteed."

"!!!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker felt a chill run down his spine!

Ning Daoran’s words rang true. If his Immortal Origin Power were overused and he could no longer sustain Divinity Transformation-level attacks, he’d be reduced to competing against Ning Daoran using Nascent Soul-level techniques. And everyone knew that Ning Daoran was the most formidable Nascent Soul cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness. Fighting him at the same level was nothing short of asking for death!

"Retreat!"

The Star Monarch Law Breaker flung his robe sleeve, his face grim. He turned into a streak of fiery light and fled first.
