Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 588 - 417: The Might of the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, Severely Wounding the Black and White Double Assassins

Boom—

Lin Chang’sheng dodged the Soul Hook, which then crashed into a distant mountain range, instantly toppling it with a thunderous rumble.

Seeing his strike miss, Hei Yu again manipulated the Soul Hook to attack Lin Chang’sheng.

However, Lin Chang’sheng was incomparably fast, easily evading every attack time after time.

Seeing Lin Chang’sheng’s extraordinary speed, and that the Soul Hook could neither injure nor entrap him, Hei Yu exchanged glances with Bai Feng, then unleashed the power of their Domain once again.

Lin Chang’sheng had long anticipated they might resort to such a killing skill.

As his opponents activated their Time Realm, Lin Chang’sheng stomped down, activating the Qiankun Celestial Array.

Buzz—

In that instant, a radiant beam shot skyward, instantly enveloping the area.

"An array?"

Huang Peng’s heart jolted with shock as he saw the area shrouded by the array.

But considering the array was arranged by Lin Chang’sheng, merely at the Integration Stage, how powerful could it possibly be? He quickly reassured himself.

Only when the Grand Array fully activated did he realize just how laughable that notion was.

The very next moment, everyone felt a piercing pain in their minds, as though some overwhelming force was battering their divine souls.

It was as if their divine souls were about to be ripped from their bodies.

"W-what’s happening?"

Huang Peng was overcome with terror.

Even the Black and White Double Assassins in the distance knew something was terribly wrong, for they hadn’t even unleashed their Integration Immortal Technique before a wave of searing pain assaulted their heads, instantly disrupting their technique.

Rumble—

Not only were their divine souls battered, but lightning also crackled across the celestial vault, silver serpents writhing through the heavens.

On the ground, torrents of fiery flame erupted, radiating an oppressive heat so intense that even with Mahayana Stage physical bodies, they felt scorched and tormented.

This Power of Celestial Thunder and Three Flames True Fire was not to be underestimated.

Even Mahayana Stage experts would be severely wounded under such force.

"Quick, break this array!"

Huang Peng shouted anxiously. If they couldn’t break free, in less than an hour they’d be incinerated by Celestial Thunder and Flame Power.

Swoosh—

Huang Peng swung his Blood Demon Saber, slashing it toward the Grand Array.

Boom—

But when the blade aura violently struck the array, it only stirred the faintest ripple, without any further effect.

This formation combined the might of several grand arrays mastered by Lin Chang’sheng—it wasn’t so easily broken.

"How can this be?"

Not far away, Huo Zhi, gravely injured, stared on in utter disbelief.

He’d thought he was only hurt due to his own carelessness, never imagining his opponent actually possessed a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure.

But in the end, Lin Chang’sheng was still doomed to die.

After all, the Mahayana Stage experts besieging him numbered several.

Yet the very moment Lin Chang’sheng activated the array, only then did he sense disaster—for it turned out Lin Chang’sheng was not the prey.

He never imagined it would be they themselves who became the quarry.

Lin Chang’sheng had long ago laid the array here, waiting for them.

"If you want to break this array, you’ll need at least Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation—stop wasting your energy!"

Lin Chang’sheng spoke coldly, then with a sweep of his arm, sent torrents of lightning and Three Flames True Fire surging toward the assembled foes.

Rumble—

The Celestial Thunder and True Fire crashed down on everyone, erupting in deafening booms.

Though the assault wasn’t enough to slay Mahayana Stage experts outright, it left them suffering, bodies battered and appearances utterly bedraggled.

"You think you can arrange an array capable of killing Mahayana Stage experts? Ridiculous! I’ll kill you first!"

Hei Yu roared, lashing the Soul Hook toward Lin Chang’sheng again.

The Soul Hook was as thick as an adult’s arm, pitch black and gleaming, its tip razor sharp and lined with backward-facing barbs.

If this sharp blade pierced through someone, escape was almost impossible.

Facing the charging Soul Hook, Lin Chang’sheng dodged with ease.

After all, at this moment Hei Yu still had to withstand the soul-battering force of the array, which made his attack slower and slower.

"Ahh, it’s unbearable—"

Bai Feng clutched her head, writhing in pain as if her skull might explode at any moment.

"Hold on! Once I kill this little bastard, the array will break on its own!"

Hei Yu thought slaying Lin Chang’sheng would automatically undo the array, but he was sorely mistaken.

With the array’s suppression, their Time Realm could not be used; killing Lin Chang’sheng was nearly impossible.

Let alone the fact that, under the weight of the array, their strength was rapidly waning.

At this rate, within an incense stick’s time, the Grand Array would tear their divine souls from their very bodies—their death was all but assured.

"Quick, send a message to His Majesty!"

Huang Peng felt disaster closing in. They might truly perish here, so he bit his finger and scrawled rapidly in his palm, though no one knew what—likely a call for help.

He pressed his palms together, shooting two beams of blood-red light into the sky that the array couldn’t stop; the bloody aura pierced straight into the heavens.

The two other Imperial City experts did the same, casting blood-colored beams that vanished into the sky.

Lin Chang’sheng recognized this as an emergency messaging secret technique, and knew he couldn’t let this drag on—he had to execute a few of them quickly.

Otherwise, once Wu Hao arrived, he might be the one to die.

Wu Hao was, after all, a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse—far beyond the Mahayana Stage.

Just the pressure from him alone would leave Lin Chang’sheng utterly unable to move.

Before such an expert, Lin Chang’sheng would stand no chance of fighting back.

"It’s time to send you all on your way!"

Lin Chang’sheng muttered darkly.

Had he more time, Lin Chang’sheng could have slowly tormented them to death.

But now, there was no time to delay.

With a wave, Lin Chang’sheng summoned a long saber.

This blade was acquired from the Golden Coffin within the Scorpion Valley Secret Realm.

It bore nearly thirty restrictions, marking it as a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure level weapon.

Lin Chang’sheng had currently refined only three restrictions, so he could only wield a portion of its power.

But with the situation so dire, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t hesitate to bring out the weapon.

"Die!"

Lin Chang’sheng slashed the saber, its blade aura surging straight at the Black and White Double Assassins.

With this strike, Lin Chang’sheng unleashed the Celestial Blade Godslaying Slash, channeling the power of the entire celestial vault into his blade, lending it unstoppable force.

Far off, as the Black and White Double Assassins sensed the awesome might of this blade aura, their hearts trembled in disbelief.

"Another... another Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure?"

By now, they were numb with shock. Just how many Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures did Lin Chang’sheng possess?

The power of a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure was formidable to begin with, and now, Lin Chang’sheng had unleashed the Celestial Blade Godslaying Slash at Perfection Level, making this attack even more potent.

Bai Feng, seeing the blade aura sweep towards her, immediately abandoned Hei Yu and fled.

And in the moment Hei Yu froze, he lost his chance to escape.

The blade aura was upon his head.

With nowhere to run, Hei Yu could only swing his Soul Hook to block.

Boom—

The formidable blade aura struck the Soul Hook, shattering it and continuing straight for Hei Yu.

At that moment, only terror shone in Hei Yu’s eyes.

With no time to dodge, he could only muster his primordial power, forming a shield in front of himself.

Bam—

In the next instant, the blade aura crashed into Hei Yu’s shield, the thunderous impact ringing out in all directions.

The blade aura blasted Hei Yu straight into the earth below.

The ground was split by the blade into a chasm so deep its bottom could not be seen.

Such was the brutal power of the blade aura.

The surrounding experts were instantly shaken by the force of that strike.

Could this truly be the might of an Integration Stage attack?

Even if the array restricted them, they shouldn’t be this helpless against an Integration Stage cultivator, right?

When the dust settled, they saw Hei Yu lying gravely wounded in the pit, his shoulder and arm slashed so deeply the bone was exposed.

Evidently, even Hei Yu’s elemental shield hadn’t completely neutralized the blade aura.

If he hadn’t shifted slightly at the last moment, that blade would have cleaved his head in two.

"Still not dead?"

Lin Chang’sheng was surprised. He hadn’t expected the Mahayana Stage cultivator’s primordial power and body to be so formidable.

Even with the help of the grand array and Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, he couldn’t slay him in one strike—only wound him?

But on second thought, it made sense.

The gap between the Void Refining Stage and Integration Stage was already immense, let alone between Integration and Mahayana Stages.

If not for the boost of his array and immortal treasure, Lin Chang’sheng would have no chance of even exchanging blows with a Mahayana Stage expert.
