Chapter 879: Chapter 874 Activating the Core Array

Zhou Yao’s entire body flew out, crashing into the Great Hall’s wall with a boom.

Blood splattered in mid-air, then spilled onto the floor of the Great Hall.

The Great Hall fell silent.

Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi stared in shock at Zhou Yao, lying on the ground, with blood gushing like a fountain from his chest.

For a long time, the two still couldn’t believe that the person lying there was Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao had already comprehended the Slaughter Dao, and his Slaughter Sword was highly praised by many Star River Ancestors. Now, he was defeated by an unknown black-haired youngster?

The opponent was merely at the Divine Level Second-stage Late Stage!

You Wuye was also shocked.

Although he expected Huang Xiaolong to defeat Zhou Yao, he didn’t foresee Zhou Yao losing so decisively and thoroughly.

“Hand over the key,” Huang Xiaolong approached Zhou Yao, his expression indifferent.

In the eyes of Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, and You Wuye, Zhou Yao’s Slaughter Sword was terrifying, but in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, it was extremely fragile and weak!

No matter what cultivation technique, combat skill, or principles, everything is based on strength.

If the strength is too weak, no matter how strong the cultivation technique or profound the understanding of principles, it cannot bridge the gap.

Before Huang Xiaolong broke through to the Divine Level and condensed his divine status, his original body was already terrifyingly strong, not weaker than the divine body of a Divine Level Third-stage Late Stage expert. Now, having broken through to the Divine Level and reforged his divine body, the extent of his power was something even Huang Xiaolong was unsure of.

Additionally, having refined 108 Thunder Dragon Bones from the Heavenly God Realm, Huang Xiaolong’s divine body was greatly strengthened.

Just now, Huang Xiaolong hadn’t even used his Supreme Divine Power, relying solely on the power of his original body!

Solely with the power of his original body, Huang Xiaolong was already not weaker than a Divine-level Fourth-stage Late Stage expert.

As Huang Xiaolong approached Zhou Yao, Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi snapped out of their shock, instinctively stepping back a few paces, distancing themselves from Zhou Yao, afraid Huang Xiaolong might misunderstand their association.

At this point, Zhou Yao slowly got up from the ground, looking at Huang Xiaolong with a grim face: “Heh heh, you think you can make me hand over the key? Dream on! Kid, if you have the guts, kill me. If you don’t, I will kill you once I get out and use your blood as a blood sacrifice for my slaughter sword!”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold: “Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you? Since I’ve dared to kill Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji, I won’t hesitate to kill one more.”

What?!

The faces of Wangu Yanhui, Mu Qi, and Zhou Yao changed drastically.

Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji; of course, they knew.

Their demise was already known to all participating disciples.

The two died at this person’s hands!

Then who is this person?!

A flash in the minds of Wangu Yanhui and the others: Huang Xiaolong!

“You’re Huang Xiaolong!” Zhou Yao blurted.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t answer, his face cold: “I’ll say it again, hand over the key. For the sake of the Zhou family, I won’t kill you, otherwise, I’ll kill you and take the key myself.”

Zhou Yao’s expression fluctuated.

Previously, he counted on the Zhou family backing him up, thinking Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t dare kill him, thus his confidence. Now, knowing this black-haired youth was the one who killed Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji, his confidence wavered.

No one truly wants to die.

In the end, under Huang Xiaolong’s cold gaze, Zhou Yao retrieved a small sword from his Space Ring.

The small sword was inscribed with Ancient Runes, all in Divine World script. Although Huang Xiaolong couldn’t discern their meanings, he knew these runes were key to unlocking the Core Array.

Zhou Yao threw the key sword to Huang Xiaolong, eyes full of unwillingness.

“Huang Xiaolong, I’ll remember today’s event.” Zhou Yao glared at Huang Xiaolong hatefully before flying out of the Great Hall.

Hearing Zhou Yao’s threats, Huang Xiaolong paid no heed and allowed him to leave.

For Huang Xiaolong, the Zhou family backing Zhou Yao was still a colossal entity, and he wouldn’t kill him unless necessary.

As for Yelv Tianfeng and Beitang Wuji, Huang Xiaolong had an irreconcilable feud with the Yelv Family, so he killed them.

The main reason being, Huang Xiaolong was confident dealing with the backing Yelv Family and Beitang Family.

Although the Yelv Family and Beitang Family are Galaxy Dominators, they fall far short compared to the Zhou Family.

After Zhou Yao left, Huang Xiaolong looked at Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi, speaking: “Since the Core Array requires five keys, and they must be gathered to open, we shall wait for the others. What do you two think?”

Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi immediately nodded, sincerely and fearfully saying: “Alright.”

Witnessing Huang Xiaolong’s terrifying strength, neither dared oppose.

If Huang Xiaolong whimsically took interest in their keys as well, they would end up just like Zhou Yao, leaving behind their keys and fleeing.

Now that Huang Xiaolong didn’t forcibly take their keys, they were already grateful.

Meanwhile, Wangu Yanhui felt bitter, thinking of the ranking list.

From the start of the competition until now, he thought none of the disciples could challenge him; he was certain he’d be first.

But now?!

After seeing Huang Xiaolong’s power, his hopes for first place vanished.

With Huang Xiaolong’s terrifying power, surpassing him before the competition ends would be effortless.

Wangu Yanhui thought this way, and so did Mu Qi, as he endlessly recalled the scene of Huang Xiaolong defeating Zhou Yao with a single move.

If Zhou Yao was defeated with one move, what would happen to him?

The Great Hall was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The few of them sat quietly waiting; as Huang Xiaolong remained silent, so did the others.

About half an hour later, the sound of something breaking through the air resounded.

Wangu Yanhui and Mu Qi visibly relaxed.

Huang Xiaolong and the others turned to see two figures appear in their sight. Upon seeing who it was, Wangu Yanhui and the three were stunned.

“Fang Chu!”

“Lv Dongwei!”

The newcomers were the second-ranked Fang Chu from the Creation Gate and Lv Dongwei, who was pushed to eleventh by Huang Xiaolong.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong and the four, Fang Chu and Lv Dongwei were equally stunned.

After surveying the scene, both sets of eyes fell on Huang Xiaolong, their reactions differing.

Lv Dongwei seemed surprised, but Huang Xiaolong clearly sensed Fang Chu’s intense killing intent towards him, though hidden after a moment, it was discernible.

Huang Xiaolong raised an eyebrow, puzzled by Fang Chu’s strong animosity without any known conflict.

Nevertheless, Huang Xiaolong didn’t mention it, keeping a calm demeanor.

“Since everyone’s here, shall we take out the keys and open the Core Array together?” Wangu Yanhui suggested, looking enquiringly at Huang Xiaolong.
