Jiang Wang’s provoking voice halted abruptly as he cast a vigilant gaze in all directions.

Tai Yin, meanwhile, breathed a sigh of relief.

They had entered the array!

In Jiang Wang’s perception, the black and white colors that had completely dominated his vision suddenly flowed like water, contracting sharply, condensing into an ancient door. It was as if only that door existed. Outside this door, the floating mountains, green sea, reefs, as well as Tai Yin, Xiang Bei… everything had vanished, replaced by a pervasive mist.

This mist felt both hazy and strangely familiar. After a moment’s thought, Jiang Wang’s mind cleared. Was this not the Ignorant Mist from the Five Mansions Sea?

Cultivators progressing from the Soaring Dragon Realm to the Inner Mansion Realm had to navigate this most perilous trial. This mist could blind the three souls and confuse the seven souls; countless cultivators had seen their Dao Pulse True Dragons lost within the Ignorant Mist, their essence completely consumed. Even after the Five Mansions were opened, the Five Divine Abilities obtained, and the Dao Pulse Soaring Dragon had swum into the Hidden Star Sea, the Five Mansions Sea would constantly overflow with Ignorant Mist, requiring continuous clearing.

Cultivators would forever face the unknown, and ignorance could never be fully eradicated. Buddhist cultivators, in particular, believed that cultivation was a process of constantly sweeping away ignorance. Hence the saying, “Constantly and diligently wipe, so as not to attract dust.”

However, the Ignorant Mist surrounding this black and white door was enough to warrant vigilance. The vaguely appearing danger deep within the mist made one perceive its profundity, daring not to act rashly.

Jiang Wang looked up, only to see that the black and white colors above had also condensed into a door. Aside from this door, the sky was also filled with Ignorant Mist. There was a door in the sky, and a door on the ground. To the left and right, front and back, black and white doors appeared everywhere. This incredibly strange scene inevitably bred fear in the heart.

Which one should he push open? What would lie behind the door?

Jiang Wang was no expert in array formations, though he knew more about military formations. Legal arrays were a complete mystery to him. The innate maze array he had seen in the chaotic stone valley of Broken Soul Gorge was navigated under Yu Bei Dou’s guidance. At this moment, he could only condense his sword momentum for the first time, maintaining a full spirit guard, with no thought of breaking the array.

Yet, he felt no fear or dejection. On the contrary, this suddenly appearing array was viewed as a variable – the Fiend King Beast, which had been chasing him so closely, had also fallen into this array. No matter how terrifying this array might be, the outcome would surely not be worse than continuing to face the Fiend King Beast. He knew that if not for Tai Yin’s sudden appearance and random interference, he might already have been devoured by the Fiend.

He yearned for change.

Outside the great array, Tai Yin was clearly in high spirits. He had endured Jiang Wang’s mockery and fled madly without rest along this entire journey; he could truly say he had endured humiliation and borne a heavy burden! Finally, he had successfully led Jiang Wang into the array. Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard; the ancients truly spoke the truth. At this moment, it was the sweet taste after bitter hardship.

The great array he had laid down was named “Divine Prison Six Paths.” This was the foremost killing array passed down through the Tai Clan of Xia Country! The six doors of life and death, the turning wheel of a single heart; life and death were entirely in the array master’s hands. It once had the war record of trapping and killing a contemporary True Person, its fearsome reputation illustrious. The array he had now laid out was, of course, not complete. But it was already the strongest array he could arrange within the environment of the Mountain Sea Realm. If they were in a different location, he honestly doubted he could even walk out himself!

Who was Jiang Wang? Merely a brute who flaunted his strength. Within this absolute killing array, he would only coil up!

“What is the name of this place?” Tai Yin asked, somewhat high-spiritedly.

Xiang Bei found him a little inexplicable and shook his head. “Just an ordinary sea domain.”

“It should have a name,” Tai Yin sighed. “The three-tenths of Qi Pride’s Divine Soul Origin that Summer Pride severed originated from here! How about calling it Bury Jiang Sea? This will also be the beginning of Qi Country’s decline. How about Bury Qi Sea?”

“…” Although he knew Tai Yin might be trying to adjust his mood, Xiang Bei still felt quite speechless. He looked left and right. “Aren’t we withdrawing yet? Otherwise, later it will be called Bury Jiang Tai Xiang Sea.”

Tai Yin also lifted his eyes to look. At this time, the Fiend King Beast and Jiang Wang were both enveloped by the Divine Prison Six Paths array. However, a significant portion of the vast Fiend army was also caught within. After all, there were too many of them. They scattered themselves consciously, surrounding this great array. Even more surplus remained, flying towards him and Xiang Bei with covetous eyes…

“A bunch of mad dogs…” Tai Yin’s sigh abruptly stopped. He turned and simply walked, without the slightest hesitation. Even if the Divine Prison Six Paths array lost its host and couldn’t kill Jiang Wang, that guy, completely surrounded by the Fiend horde, had no possibility of survival. It could already be declared. A true man walks with ease, never looking back at the result…

A voice of extreme violence roared from behind. Tai Yin turned back fearfully and saw that the Divine Prison Six Paths array he had just activated was boiling like hot water, emitting a terrifying sharp whistle. And then, it collapsed instantly! What doors of life and death, what Ignorant Mist, what Divine Prison… All were swept away!

Tai Yin, who had not had time to sever his link with the Divine Prison Six Paths array, spurted a mouthful of fresh blood. Regardless of his injuries, he pulled his leg and simply ran, fleeing for his life madly. Was this the true strength of that Fiend King Beast? Had it only been toying with its prey earlier?

Jiang Wang was dead certain. Then the next target would be…

Tai Yin’s spine grew cold. He directly hated that he couldn’t urge all four levels of his Five Mansions to their limit, soaring straight into the clouds. Xiang Bei also said nothing, fleeing in distress with the posture of a Swallowing Thief Tyrannical Body.

Did the collapse of the Divine Prison Six Paths array only bring Tai Yin’s collapse?

Within the array, Jiang Wang indeed wanted to curse up a storm. Tai Yin, if your array level is mediocre, just don’t come out and make a fool of yourself! Isn’t this just harming others? He had originally regarded this seemingly stylish great array as a variable, thinking about how to utilize it to thoroughly shake off the Fiend King Beast’s pursuit. But before he could even research it a little, the black and white door in front of him had already collapsed with a bang.

The Fiend King Beast, standing behind the door as tall as a steed, simply looked at him with mocking eyes. As if to say, “Is that all?” The visual Ignorant Mist also vanished like smoke, revealing the densely packed Fiend beast group outside the array.

The Fiend King Beast in front suddenly opened its mouth and let out another roar filled with extreme menace. A terrifying air wave impacted him, making Jiang Wang almost unable to stand steadily. And the black and white doors standing in the up, down, and four directions collapsed one after another! This allowed Jiang Wang, who had no understanding of array laws, to simply disappear amidst the Fiend King Beast’s roar. Like cardboard being blown to pieces by a strong wind. Without the slightest resistance.

Looking around again… Up, down, and in the four directions, they were all densely packed with Fiends, their black fur merging into a single sea. Damn Tai Yin, did this broken array just block the master’s path?

Within this severe black tide, only Jiang Wang stood alone, confronting the Fiend King Beast in front. His speed was inferior, his strength was inferior, his divine soul intensity was inferior, and the opponent still had so many subordinates surrounding him… Through the Red Makeup Mirror, he could still barely see the figures of Tai Yin and Xiang Bei, but they were already approaching the limit of the Red Makeup Mirror’s reflection, and after several flashes, they had completely disappeared from view. Wanting to drag someone down with him was also impossible…

Jiang Wang put away the Red Makeup Mirror and turned back. The instant he turned back, his eyes had already regained their calm. He took a step, and as the mark of the Azure Cloud Seal shattered, a brilliant fire domain also spread out. Sword light shone in his eyes, dyed red. He directly faced the Fiend King Beast, and at the same time, his person was already near the front!

There was nothing left but to recognize reality and then face reality. This was truly a dead end, but the ruthless energy within Jiang Wang’s bones was also forced out. I know you are very wise. I know you are very powerful. I know today I will inevitably fall – then let’s see what price you pay for these three-tenths of the Divine Soul Origin!

Amidst the encirclement of the Fiend army, Jiang Qing Yang rushed the array alone; he had to be brave. It was only a pity that this heroic posture was seen by no one. What was more regrettable was… As soon as that brilliant fire domain technique spread out, covering an area of twenty zhang square, a dense chewing sound rang out. A single Flame Sparrow flapped its wings and flew over; a single Fiend jumped high, bit it in one mouthful, and swallowed it into its belly. Flame flowers bloomed everywhere, and even more densely packed Fiends lowered their heads to chew. A flame meteor streaked across the sky, and a group of Fiends flew up, guarding the end of the meteor…

Watching as the fire domain had just appeared, and before it could even kill how many Fiends, it was already eaten seven-tenths to eight-tenths. Jiang Wang’s Frost Robe spread out, sword energy shone in his eyes, and he stepped forward, directly chopping out a style of Ren character sword in his strongest Sword Immortal Person state. With the character “Ren” supporting heaven and earth. The fire domain collapsed on the spot! With the Ren character sword supporting the fire domain, sword and fire reflected each other, mutually completing each other; this was a mature master combat skill that Jiang Wang had long possessed. Fused through divine ability, technique, and sword art, it could be called an ultimate kill style.

But under the Sword Immortal Person state, this Ren character sword had already integrated the light of the Five Divine Abilities, gathering force, intent, and momentum. It was Jiang Wang’s strongest single move at this moment. Such a sword, with a fire domain of this degree, simply could not support it. It would only collapse in the first instant. And this kind of collapse, of course, was also within Jiang Wang’s prediction. Fiends could eat fire, Jiang Wang already had a profound impression. At this kind of time, still using the fire domain as a starting move, of course, was only for this moment – the Ren character sword under the Sword Immortal Person state directly supported and exploded the fire domain.

This brilliant world, still in the process of evolving life, had already begun to destroy itself in the first step. A terrifying explosion occurred. This was a world that had already conceived life; when it collapsed from the inside out, the power it produced was extremely difficult to describe. The sound of the explosion was deafening. This was an indiscriminate, completely uncontrolled flow of fire element chaos. Violent fire light covered everything in an extremely short time – of course, also including Jiang Wang himself.

Even under the Sword Immortal Person state, even having summoned the light of the Five Divine Abilities to protect his body in advance, even while chopping out the Ren character sword midway, and even within the range of strong sword momentum within his body… Jiang Wang still felt a power that almost wanted to destroy him. His body was in mid-air, his sword had already begun to be unsteady, his sword momentum askew! Self-supporting the explosion of the fire domain was a completely mutual destruction fighting method, also drawing inspiration from the water-fire annihilation domain. Only the latter was completed under the exquisite cooperation of both sides, controlling the destructive power of the two worlds within a certain range, so as not to harm oneself, but to injure the enemy. While doing this move on his own, it was simply out of control. It might not necessarily kill the enemy, but he himself would definitely be severely injured. This unwise action was forced!

Amidst the violent fire light, Jiang Wang saw – that Fiend King Beast with a branched tail, once again opened its giant mouth, and suddenly sucked. All the out-of-control, collapsing, exploding fire, like a hundred rivers flowing, all roared into its giant mouth! Heaven and earth instantly became empty. The fire domain explosion, which had just occurred, had already ended. Countless Fiends were killed by the explosion, and more were still swallowing flames, then faced the air and fell into blankness.

Jiang Wang, of course, would not be blank! He was waiting for this moment, betting on this moment. The Fiend King Beast’s suction would also liberate him from the explosion. His wrist moved slightly, and he had already returned to the correct sword momentum, still having a part of the fire domain’s power supporting the Ren character sword; it could be called the strongest sword Jiang Wang had ever chopped out in so many years!

The Fiend King Beast had just swallowed the flames empty the previous moment, making heaven and earth clear again. The next moment, the sword had already arrived at its head! In the air, an ear-piercing sharp whistle sounded. That was the sound of the Fiend King Beast swinging its sharp claw. Its claw was faster than the sound – before the sharp whistle sounded, it had already struck Long Xiang Si, suddenly making a metal-iron sound! Even though Long Xiang Si had already begun to deflect, Jiang Wang then heard that sharp whistle, followed by the sound of claw and sword colliding. This time, there was a special dim light covering the Fiend King Beast’s claw. It forcefully deflected Long Xiang Si three feet, breaking the momentum of this Ren character sword, yet remained unharmed. Its cold, severe eyes undoubtedly indicated that it was already fully engaged in this battle.

The irresistible force fell upon Long Xiang Si, deflecting the sword body and causing Jiang Wang’s whole person to twist. He had bet correctly, maximized the use of the fire domain’s power, and grasped the opportunity… It was a pity it was useless. This was, of course, the cruel reality. But Jiang Wang still gripped his sword. Several Azure Cloud Seal marks flashed densely under his feet. Jiang Wang twisted his body with his feet, relying on the power of immortal technique, directly accelerating his rotation in mid-air, turning a circle on the spot. The speed was so fast that it seemed as if he had originally only turned his back to the Fiend King Beast, and with a backhand slap, struck towards the Fiend King Beast’s eye! This slap was both ruthless and accurate, as if he had already rehearsed it a thousand times in his heart. In the palm of his left hand, a frost-cold long nail condensed. The Killing Life Nail broke the air, breaking the protecting body’s dim light, and was about to nail the Fiend King Beast’s eyeball –

Yet it nailed empty. In this instant, the Fiend King Beast shook its head with terrifying speed, tilting its head back, allowing Jiang Wang’s slap to nail empty. When its head bounced back, it directly pressed its lower jaw bone against Jiang Wang’s arm again. This was the gap between divine presence and divine presence, the distance between god and mortal. No matter how outstanding your fighting talent, how precise your grasp of opportunity, a difference of a line is always a difference of a line. Even someone as strong as Yin Guan, who reached the peak of the Outer Building Dao Path, could only bet his life for opportunity in the face of Yue Leng, seeking life in death. Only after gaining divine presence could he escape. This Fiend King Beast in the Mountain Sea Realm, compared to Yue Leng, was immeasurably stronger. It had only been playing around. Now it seemed it didn’t want to play anymore –

Crack! A clear bone-cracking sound rang out. Jiang Wang’s entire left forearm simply broke, folding into a strange shape. His high-speed rotating fighting posture also became a tilted gyroscope with the sinking break of his left arm… But after all, he still turned over. Jiang Wang’s person was in mid-air, turning back at a tilted angle, facing the Fiend King Beast sideways. Like a kite with a broken string, like a straw man being madly torn and bitten by a hunting dog. Fragile and powerless.

At this moment, he directly faced the Fiend King Beast… It was his unnaturally twisted left arm, the dense cold sweat on his forehead, and his firm eyes! Amidst the almost unbearable severe pain, Jiang Wang almost bit his teeth through. He turned his wrist, reversed his grip on Long Xiang Si as if gripping a long dagger, a wisp of frost wind wrapped around the sword edge, still borrowing this rotating momentum, and with a single sword pierced the skull!
