863: Chapter 852 Thousand Thunder Spirit Array, Activate!

Immediately, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards that scroll.

However, before he could even get within ten zhang of the scroll, he was swallowed whole by Kun Ye, who opened a giant mouth like an abyss, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream before his fate became unknown.

At this, the restless Martial Artists in the vicinity no longer dared to act rashly, each retreating honestly to a distance.

"Let's join forces to finish off Yue Chenyuan first. When the time comes, the four of us can compete fairly for this scroll."

Zhao Zhao held a giant hammer of black iron, his gaze cold as he stared at the tottering Dark Golden Body in the distance.

The other three nodded without hesitation—they had all witnessed Yue Chenyuan's terrifying combat prowess when she fought a hundred opponents alone just moments ago. If they didn't take advantage of her weakness to completely defeat her, no one would have a chance to obtain that scroll once she recovered.

As for the other surviving Martial Artists in the vicinity, they had already been beaten to the point of injury or mutilation by Yue Chenyuan, and in their eyes, they were not worth mentioning at all.

After reaching a consensus, the four did not hesitate, simultaneously unleashing their killing moves as they surrounded Yue Chenyuan.

Kun Ye's giant Kun body, massive as a mountain, suddenly opened its sky-blocking mouth. A black water column containing terrifying devouring power gushed out from its maw, and wherever it passed, even the silver seawater was completely devoured.

Zhang Taixu's Taixu Sword Intent soared into the heavens, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a cyan Sword Qi traversing the Void Realm. Carrying a sharp Sword Intent capable of severing all things, it slashed down towards Yue Chenyuan's head.

Zhao Zhao swung his giant hammer, which weighed ten thousand jun. Thousands of earth-yellow patterns on the hammer lit up simultaneously, and as it smashed down, it carried the terrifying momentum of ten thousand mountains pressing down.

Liu Qin Yan lightly raised her fair hands, and the emerald light around her transformed into countless slender and sharp emerald threads, entangling towards Yue Chenyuan like a net cast from the heavens.

Yue Chenyuan dragged her exhausted body and swung her scythe, struggling to defend herself.

However, her consumption from fighting a hundred opponents alone just now had been too great. Facing the joint siege of these four peerless Prodigies whose strength was not in the slightest inferior to her own, she was already struggling to cope.

The attacks of the four landed on the Dark Golden Body one after another like a violent storm.

Every strike made the cracks on the surface of the Dark Golden Body denser, and every collision made its light dimmer.

Time slowly passed amidst the brutal battle.

"Boom—!"

Another muffled, thunderous sound rang out.

Yue Chenyuan's once imperious Dark Golden Body could no longer hold on; it exploded with a bang, turning into fragments of dark energy that dissipated into the silver seawater.

After the Dark Golden Body shattered, Yue Chenyuan's true form was revealed.

She was still in the same appearance, draped in a wide black robe that completely concealed her face; no one could see her true countenance.

And no one knew what kind of expression this decisive and ruthless Dark Saintess had at this moment.

Kun Ye's massive body, like a black mountain, broke through the waves in the silver seawater and charged towards Yue Chenyuan.

However, after approaching Yue Chenyuan, its body instantly changed direction. Opening its huge mouth like an abyss splitting open, it lunged towards the scroll!

Yue Chenyuan's Dark Golden Body was now broken, and she was severely injured; she was completely no match for them—obtaining the treasure was the top priority now.

Kun Ye's goal had been very clear from the beginning—the treasure, not the battle.

However, just as Kun Ye was about to succeed, mysterious light shrouded the Void Realm, and silver radiance acted like an invisible barrier, blocking Kun Ye's suction force.

The person blocking it was none other than Zhao Zhao. He held his giant hammer, stood in mid-air, and stared coldly at Kun Ye.

Immediately, the four began to fight each other again.

Zhang Taixu's Sword Intent was like a rainbow; with one sword strike, thousands of Sword Qi crisscrossed.

Zhao Zhao swung his giant hammer, every strike carrying the power to topple mountains and split the earth.

Kun Ye swept its giant tail, churning the seawater to form a massive whirlpool.

Liu Qin Yan clapped her palms repeatedly, and streaks of cyan-green light permeated the seawater.

The four were roughly equal in strength, with little difference between them, like four sharp blades clashing and intersecting in the Void Realm.

For a time, none of them could do anything to the others.

Soon, the four decided to take the treasure and leave this place first, lest other Martial Artists arrive later.

Their gazes met in the Void Realm, silently reaching a consensus.

Just as Zhang Taixu was preparing to collect the scroll, a sigh suddenly rang out in the Void Realm. The sound was not loud, yet it clearly entered the ears of everyone present, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.

Immediately after, they heard a low shout ring out.

"Thousand Thunder Spirit Array, Activate!"

The moment this voice fell, the entire sea area suddenly boiled over, as if a heavy bomb had been dropped into it.

Within the silver seawater that had originally only been flowing slowly, countless fine silver lightning bolts emerged from thin air like awakened spirit snakes.

The silver lightning bolts wound and swam through the seawater, flying frantically and intertwining with one another.

With that scroll as the center, it completely sealed off the sea area for thousands of zhang in a silver cage woven from lightning.

The Prodigy Martial Artists in the vicinity who had not yet managed to leave found themselves within this sea of lightning. They immediately felt an inescapable tingling sensation on their skin, and even the circulation of Qi and blood within their bodies became somewhat sluggish.

"This is a Formation!" a Martial Artist exclaimed, his voice full of shock.

"There is a Spirit Array Master here, and a Seventh-Rank High-Level Spirit Array Master at that! Everyone, be on guard!"

Another Martial Artist shouted loudly, his voice tinged with fear.

The Martial Artists all looked terrified—there was no help for it; the reputation of a Spirit Array Master in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds was truly terrifying and powerful, synonymous with being able to fight across ranks.

A Spirit Array Master could often defeat the strong with the weak, and the many with the few; a single Spirit Array could often trap a group of people in a desperate situation.

At this moment, they were right in the middle of a Spirit Array.

"Fall!"

In the Void Realm, Qin Yan shouted in a low voice.

His voice echoed in the silver lightning prison, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Above the silver sea area, countless silver whirlpools coalesced, like silver eyes slowly opening in the sky.

"Rumble—"

Sounds of muffled thunder came from the whirlpools, dull and powerful, like the roar of an ancient beast, echoing in the Void Realm for a long time.

"Crackle—!"

"Boom—!"

Thousands of silver lightning bolts burst forth from the whirlpools, like a silver rainstorm, pouring down into the sea area!
