Chapter 413: Chapter 063: Holy Array God Transformation

"Hum~"

The terrifying counterforce blocked the strike, and the twelve columns of light immediately vanished, taking the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts, who was beneath the columns, into the void, disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, Zhou Yan and Xiong Ba were also pulled into the space within the columns of light and entered a void space.

Peace returned here, as if nothing had changed.

But suddenly, Netherworld Spiritual Power appeared in this place.

Netherworld Spiritual Power, like a gust of chilly wind, suddenly took over, followed by a large number of small swirling vortexes. Within these vortexes, shadowy silhouettes of eight-carried sedan chairs appeared, and ultimately, all transformed into a pitch-black humanoid figure.

This person, clad in utter darkness, had a scythe-like shadow behind him.

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

At that moment, four more figures descended here, respectively Ni Chang, Zhou Lingyao, Jiang Yuning, and Ping’er.

Ling He had not come here but had temporarily stayed behind in the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm. The ownership of the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm now belonged to Ling He and no longer to the Evil King.

Meanwhile, outside the Netherworld Demon Cave, the Evil King’s body shook violently and stumbled back a few steps. Then, an astonishing, cold, bloodthirsty, mad, and hysterical glimmer burst forth in his eyes.

"Good, very good, the Yuan Magnetic Light Columns indeed! Heaven is truly on my side!"

The Evil King said, and with a fierce slap towards the void, a tunnel of light opened with a "pfft" sound.

"Go, slay those ants and seize the Yuan Magnetic Light Columns!"

"What, Yuan Magnetic Light Columns!"

"Ah, Yuan Magnetic Light Columns, the columns! They are actually composed of Primordial Magnetic Pole Light, oh heavens!"

Qian Saint and the others were shocked, their bodies shivering.

The four did not hesitate and instantly charged up like mad, following Qian Saint’s lead.

...

"Very good, all these damned Saints have entered, so, let them all die!"

Xiong Ba, attuned to everything happening outside, seemed to have a premonition, and thus his face revealed a hideously ferocious smile.

Xiong Ba had always been straightforward, or perhaps sleazy, but such vicious, ruthless, and sinister expressions were something Zhou Yan was seeing for the first time.

Zhou Yan couldn’t see the outside situation, but as Xiong Ba spoke, Xiong Ba suddenly shattered his own Green Jade Soul Suppressing Stone.

"Pfft—"

"Pfft—"

Xiong Ba’s physical body was immediately engulfed by an intense light, nearly dying in an instant, but he gritted his teeth and endured.

The next moment, the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light Columns erupted with a terrifying aura of destruction, simultaneously triggering some mysterious Array Dao.

"Holy Array God Transformation—Xiong Ba, you’re seeking death, are you insane!" Zhou Yan was startled, and then something dawned on him.

"Brother Zhou Yan, I can’t guard you for ten years. I came here to avenge our master! At any cost! I deliberately caused trouble before, just to get you to lower your guard. Otherwise, I couldn’t have deceived someone as clever as you."

"Brother Zhou Yan, now that the Killing Array has been activated and Holy Array God Transformation is underway, all below the divine must die here!"

"I may not be a good Guardian, but I am a loyal Demon Beast. With the master gone, my life has no meaning."

"Your Green Jade Soul Suppressing Stone will protect you from being suppressed to death; you could be the sole survivor of this Slaughter Saint battle."

"Before I met you, I discussed all this with the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts and decided to help you clear the path, including killing the Holy Daughter."

"So, Brother Zhou Yan, I’m sorry, I’ve betrayed your trust."

Xiong Ba said, then revealed a sorrowful smile.

He was naturally ugly, and his smile was even worse, but at that moment, it was unforgettable.

This smile ferociously struck at Zhou Yan’s heart and soul.

"What’s going on? What’s happening? Why don’t I know anything about this? Does the Holy Daughter coming here mean she’ll also die here?"

"Ah—I’m not resigned to this! I want to be the sovereign of my own fate. I don’t want anyone to lay out my fate for me; I don’t want to live a life that’s been arranged for me!"

In this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly saw a horrifying scene from within the aurora.

Right then, the twelve Yuan Magnetic Light Columns had combined to form the Twelve Celestial Stars Formation.

Originally just a Holy-level Array, but because it was made of the twelve Yuan Magnetic Light Columns, this Holy-level Array had instantly transformed into a Divine-level Killing Array.

And moreover, this was a truly terrifying Divine-level Array.

The Divine-level Array was still nurturing but already incredibly dreadful.

With the activation of the array, a deadly move was unleashed, and all present were poised to be reduced to ashes.

...

The Netherworld Eight Soul Envoys of the Netherworld Palace appeared, bearing a formidable eight-carried sedan chair, standing in opposition to the Holy Daughter and her group.

At this moment, the space here was shrouded in darkness, manifesting a cold and sinister atmosphere.

"Is the Life Soul here?" the Netherworld Eight Soul Envoys asked calmly.

"Yes, it’s here."

"Good, then proceed with the plan."

The Soul Envoys nodded and, with a wave of a hand, the eight-carried sedan chair immediately flew towards the Holy Daughter, Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning did not hesitate and glanced at Ping’er.

Ping’er knew that the moment had come when she would no longer be able to see her young master, Zhou Yan; thus, her eyes filled with a touch of melancholy, yet she resolutely walked toward the eight-carried sedan chair.

"Phew——"

Ping’er’s body gradually melted away until only a ball of soul light soared towards the eight-carried sedan chair.

Within her soul light, spiritual soul power surged, revealing an immortal divinity.

"What is this?" the Netherworld Eight Soul Envoys asked with some displeasure.

"Her fate is intertwined with mine. Let her go so you can do your job. With a single thought from me, the transaction can be completed. However, if you play any tricks, I will destroy the Life Soul."

Jiang Yuning spoke indifferently.

"Heh... heh heh..."

The Soul Envoy laughed, his voice sounding eerily spine-chilling.

"Alright, this works as well. Let her leave this place first; otherwise, when the battle starts, this entire space will collapse."

The Soul Envoy said and, with another wave, Ping’er’s soul light was immediately taken away by the eight-carried sedan chair, breaking through the void.

It was in this moment that the Soul Envoy suddenly revealed a sinister smile.

"Hm?"

Zhou Lingyao’s gaze sharpened, and her expression turned grave as she stared at the Soul Envoy.

"Indeed, you are the first-generation Emperor Qi Sword Body with an ancient bloodline. Impressive, you have noticed it."

The Soul Envoy spoke with a chilling voice.

"You’ve deceived us?" the Holy Daughter asked coldly.

"No, my words are not false. I once said I would pretend to cooperate with Qian Saint and others, then assist you in suppressing them and cutting down the Evil King. Now, the Evil King is here, so this matter ends here, and we will not interfere."

The Soul Envoy suddenly became cold and callous.

"As expected, the evil spirits and Netherworld Spirits of the Netherworld Palace are not to be trusted. Since this is the case, we admit our bad luck; you may leave now."

Zhou Lingyao suddenly glowed all over, her entire being becoming incredibly powerful. In that instant, her realm ascended straight to the Nine Origin Sword Saint Realm as she unlocked all the self-imposed sealings within her.

"Eh? How could you possibly recover so quickly? You were not supposed to have any chance in your third life—"

"All of this was merely part of the plan!"

The Ni Chang Fairy also displayed strength comparable to the Nine Origin Sword Saint Realm, her aura shaking heaven and earth, even making the Holy Daughter next to her look serious.

"So, it was you who were plotting against us, but you’ve underestimated us."

The Soul Envoy was startled but didn’t appear too flustered; instead, he sneered.

"Soul Envoy, we did not intend to trouble you, or we wouldn’t have sacrificed the Life Soul. But since you have chosen inaction, you can forget about taking the Life Soul. I will immediately have Ping’er destroy it."

"Really? Too bad, this place is already bound by seals. Can your thoughts still be transmitted out now?" the Soul Envoy said with a cold laugh.

Jiang Yuning’s face also turned a bit pale at this point.

"I knew it was like asking a favor from a tiger; unfortunately, we had no choice. Well, let’s see how things unfold," the Ni Chang Fairy sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I’m quite curious, aside from Qian Saint, the Evil King, and his party, what other forces are here plotting against us? With whom has the Netherworld Palace collaborated to trick both us and Qian Saint’s group?"

Zhou Lingyao asked coldly.

"There are no other forces. This place naturally has an Ancient Array, which just happens to be capable of suppressing everyone. It was here that Wan Jian Tian was once suppressed and perished! As for the purpose of the Netherworld Palace, you cannot fathom it. Ah, the Evil King has arrived, good, now everyone can die here together."

The Netherworld Eight Soul Envoys said with a cold and malicious laugh.
