Chapter 1080: Chapter 677: Dragon’s Pupil Divine Art

Drip—

A droplet fell into the palm, pulling Xu Yuan’s thoughts back from the Ghost City below. He looked up and was stunned.

At some point, the shadowy insect tide that had been occupying the sky above the Ghost Domain, unable to enter the city, had vanished, replaced by a rain.

The rain fell chaotically, carrying a slight chill of desolation, and the reconstructed Ghost City sky ground this insect tide into endless blood rain, falling within the city.

Buzz—

Casually, Xu Yuan raised an umbrella barrier for Li Junwu and himself to shield them from the blood rain. Half-squinting, he stared at the hiding place of the Bug Saint and murmured with a smile:

"Sacrificing your own people for your descendants, such behavior doesn’t befit a true king. However, it seems your entire family has always been like this."

Beside him, Li Junwu listened, staring seriously at the descending tide of blood rain, and said gravely:

"Changtian, this rain seems to have a corrosive burning power. We can’t let this thing touch the ground."

Almost all the citizens in the city are ordinary people, and most of the shelters provided by the sects don’t have formation patterns for protection. Even if the insect demon blood rain is slightly corrosive, once it lands, ninety percent of the living beings below will be obliterated.

Glancing at the armored woman next to him, Xu Yuan said softly:

"We’ve noticed that Mu Xingyi uses the insect demon clan as a sacrifice for his descendants’ awakening, which is something we can’t interfere with. However, wanting the entire Zhenxi Prefecture to be buried with it is indeed overstepping."

Li Junwu frowned slightly and quickly said:

"You know where the Bug Saint is? Why not go... Forget it, I can still deploy the general formations in the city. We should first gather a spellcraft layer to protect the citizens."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"I remember you mentioned before that the formations were being eroded by the fictional ghost formation?"

Li Junwu bit her lip and replied quickly:

"Now, there’s no time to worry about that. The City Defense Array was made to protect the citizens. People can’t be resurrected, but a formation can be rebuilt later..."

"That’s exactly what that guy desires."

Xu Yuan interrupted Li Junwu’s words: "If you do that, people will die, and the formation will be destroyed."

Although Mu Nuo had already constructed half of the ghost formation, the Protective City Formation, as a whole, will only be useful if the array’s core isn’t reconstructed. The ghost formation doesn’t have its activation key, hence it merely stands as decoration. The Protective City Formation can only be manipulated by Li Junwu.

In his thoughts,

Starlights began to coalesce in Xu Yuan’s palm, and the droplet of blood rain instantly evaporated, replaced by a small, pure white orb.

Peering at the armored woman beside him, he said softly, "You’re not being told to maintain the formation because we fear destruction, but rather because we fear the control might be seized by Mu Nuo. A City Defense Array controlled by a Saint can still be salvaged, but for the citizens, it’s a dead end."

Li Junwu was momentarily stunned by his words, then her beautiful eyes dimmed with rippling thoughts, reluctantly dispersing the formation, she whispered:

"...I’m sorry."

"It’s a small matter, leave it to me."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, shaking his head as he sent the condensed orb in his hand toward the ground.

Even though the formation in Zhenxi Prefecture City has diminished considerably compared to its peak during the border wars, it barely meets Dayan’s frontline standards.

Don’t underestimate this first-line goalkeeper formation. In this war, the City Defense Array’s weak performance largely stems from Li Junwu.

If Zhan Xian’an or Lu Bozou, those veterans Xu Yuan cleaned out himself, were in control, without regard for losses, they could potentially gravely wound or even kill a powerhouse like Emperor Bai one-on-one.

It’s just a pity these two were cleared out by him before the battle.

Experience is indeed vital. Li Junwu’s first attempt at manipulating the City Defense Array did well not to hold back. But regardless, it’s best to prevent this mighty array from falling into Mu Nuo’s hands.

Gazing past Li Junwu’s remorseful expression, Xu Yuan watched as the orb traversed the descending rain curtain, reaching the low sky over the city first. Then he grasped at the void.

Buzz—

The sound of a sudden humming resonated throughout the city, as the small orb rapidly expanded to a size of ten feet. However, upon close inspection, it appeared to be a spherical aura enveloping the surging, chaotic Origin Qi within.

Connected by will-spirit, Xu Yuan’s mind and heart resources were rapidly being consumed, the overwhelming sensation of dizziness made him involuntarily furrow his brow.

Suppressing the discomfort within, Xu Yuan squinted his eyes and swiftly clenched his right hand, which was covered in variegated patterns.

With this motion, the surface of the low-sky spherical aura began to vibrate quickly, collapsing inward, forming an ink-black sphere in an instant.

Li Junwu observed the spellcraft forming below, her beautiful eyes widening slightly:

"This is....."

"A weapon targeting celestial phenomena."

With these words, the black sphere cracked open, shooting out infinite radiance, Gang Wind surged forth, the ground’s gravity seemed to vanish abruptly, with the descending blood rain reversing its course upward.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan once again waved his hand to create a shield over himself and the others, and said:

"What Little Four concocted is indeed handy, it can be used for both military and spellcraft, and even for enemy termination."

"Xu Xinyao... Is it the Cloud Qi Bombs from the battle against the Barbarian Tribes?" Li Junwu asked subconsciously, observing the anomaly below: "Isn’t that thing supposed to be a heavy formation pattern?"

With the spellcraft formed, Xu Yuan’s pressure decreased significantly. While manipulating the chaotic wind pressure below with one hand, he explained calmly:

"The essence of the Cloud Qi Bombs’ surface formation patterns is to compress Origin Qi and stabilize it. With my current unique physique, replicating it isn’t too difficult."

At this point, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Xu Yuan’s mouth:

"However, I discovered the Cloud Qi Bombs seem to have a wider range of applications as spellcraft rather than as a heavy weapon."

The moment the Cloud Qi spellcraft formed, Xu Yuan suddenly realized he could control the Gang Wind as if wielding the power of a wind god.

Upon returning to the Imperial Capital, he would at the very least need to pay Little Four a hundred taels of patterned silver as a copyright fee.

With these thoughts, the Gang Wind emanating from the cracked black sphere rolled up the blood rain from the sky, swirling upwards, forming a constantly turbulent hundred-foot blood sphere above Xu Yuan and Li Junwu within seconds.

And this scene,

Was naturally noticed by Emperor Bai in the distance. A flash of surprise flickered in the dragon eyes, accompanied by a hint of subconscious alertness, as he clearly sensed the power surging within the hundred-foot blood sphere.

For someone who has obtained the power of a Saint, the child of the Prime Minister of the Human Race seems to be a bit too strong.

While observing the other, the young devil looked back at him. After a brief moment of eye contact, Xu Yuan’s voice, filled with amusement, floated over:

"Dragon Emperor, rest assured, this contraption is meant for that old man. I’m planning to deal with him first with my uncle’s help. You just need to focus on handling the Ghost Infant."

"...."

Emperor Bai remained noncommittal, not replying. However, some information regarding this Ghost Infant seeped into his mind amidst Xu Yuan and Mu Xingyi’s actions.

For instance,

The Fengdu Ghost City created by the Ghost Infant is not without solutions; it requires a vast amount of living beings and flesh as sacrifices to maintain and spread.

If not for Xu Changtian intervening to stop the blood rain from falling, once it obliterated the town below, and merged with the bodies of the Human Race throughout the city, the power of this Undying Ghost Infant might have been further augmented.

The current upper limit of revivable entities in the entire Ghost Domain is merely the Integration Body, but perhaps with flesh and living beings stacked up to a certain level, even a Saint might resurrect there.

If the hidden Bug Saint isn’t eliminated first, the opponent might continuously find ways to provide ’nourishment’ to this Undying Ghost Infant.....

Glancing at Mu Nuo, who remained in a stagnant state, Emperor Bai’s indifferent slit-dragon eyes slowly turned toward the ground of the Prefecture City.

After a rough sense, he discovered hundreds of Bug Saint presences underground.

These possess a single true form, all other forms are substitutes, but the Bug Saint can turn virtual into reality.

The life-saving techniques of Ancient Beasts are indeed unparalleled.

However, it isn’t without solutions.

If they are killed in one blow before the Bug Saint can react, rapid virtual-real switch is nothing but talk...

Strands of golden light began to gather near Emperor Bai’s dragon eyes, seeing this moment, Xu Yuan instantly realized the sort of spellcraft the opponent was about to perform.

Dragon’s Pupil Divine Art.

In the Cangyuan Chronicles, it stuns players for a second but doesn’t hit shadow clones when players are using skills like Shadow Clone, directly locking onto the player’s body instead.

In other words,

Emperor Bai can locate Mu Xingyi’s main body.

Should I intervene?

Thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan’s mind.

He held no doubt that Emperor Bai’s means could instantly kill a good-for-nothing like Mu Xingyi.

Once located, executed on the spot.

If this energy source is lost and Mu Nuo cannot withstand the Lord of the Ancient Abyss, if he cannot withstand it, then it would fall on Emperor Bai to handle.

Emperor Bai would not take it as lightly as Tian Yuan did.

If he faced him,

It would be doom.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly realized that what he was contemplating seemed completely beyond his capacity.

Stop Emperor Bai?

What means does he have?

The Cloud Qi blood sphere could be used, but Emperor Bai’s speed ensures it would not hit, at most it would only delay the opponent slightly.

Mu Xingyi should still die.

This useless good-for-nothing, unable to achieve anything and capable of ruining everything, couldn’t he just stay underground obediently as an energy source and quit trying to seek presence before Emperor Bai?

Muttering a curse, lifting one hand toward the sky, Xu Yuan swung it downward forcefully.

The blood sphere, like a mountain, was immediately driven toward Emperor Bai under the wrapping of the Gang Wind, instantly raising a fierce river of blood in the sky dome!

And at this moment,

Emperor Bai’s golden-glowing slit-dragon eyes gently glanced at him.

"...." Xu Yuan.

Rumble—

A boom echoed in Xu Yuan’s mind, just with a momentary exchange of glances, he felt a dizzying sensation.

The gaze of a Supreme Saint nearly took Xu Yuan’s life.

By the time he rubbed his temples and looked up, Emperor Bai had already bypassed the river of blood, transforming into a stream of light darting toward the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan had no choice but to endure the physical discomfort, forcibly redirecting the river of blood toward the Burning Flame Path Domain outside the city to assist his uncle.

And in this instantaneous flash,

A sudden change unfolded within the city.

As Emperor Bai dove underground, a young man rapidly materialized on his inevitable path.

Mu Nuo had awakened.

His eyes as black as ink emitted a foreboding black aura. Watching the incoming dragon shadow, he slowly lifted his left hand.
