“Even if we wish to hand over the memento, there’s nothing to hand over,” said Goumang over a voice transmission.
“From the looks of it, a fight is inevitable,” said Kong Xuan with a voice transmission.
Qin Yun and Hou Yi wore serious expressions. Amid their seriousness, the fighting spirit in their hearts rose.
Having been in the spatial tide for so long, everything had been smooth-sailing for them. The stone serpent which could barely be considered their equal would not have been able to resist Qin Yun and company if it were in the outside world. It did have an indestructible body inside Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley, but even so, Qin Yun and company had still successfully robbed it of a few divine fruits.
“Bohan Island Lord’s strength is incomparable. He’s one of the strongest existences in the spatial tide. He’s absolutely invincible.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower knew of Bohan Island Lord’s reputation as he hurriedly sent voice transmissions. “Quickly hand me my Myriad Flower Palace. We can hide in it and there might be a chance if we use it to fight him.”
“Give it to him,” instructed Hou Yi via a voice transmission.
Although his fighting spirit was burning, they had to be careful and make contingencies.
Kong Xuan immediately waved his hand as the Myriad Flower Palace appeared beneath Qin Yun and company. All of them immediately flew into the Myriad Flower Palace.
“I’m finally back.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower stood in the flowers and with a thought, fully took control of the Myriad Flower Palace and felt a little more reassured.
As his Dharmic powers circulated, the flowers in Myriad Flower Palace began to bloom as array formations after array formations were activated. All of them fused as one as they emitted a halo that enveloped the palace. As for Qin Yun and company, they stood beside Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. If they so wishes, they could instantly kill him. Furthermore, they had left contingencies in his Essence Soul, so they were not afraid that he would suddenly have nefarious ideas.
The white-haired man slowly stood up from his boat’s bow and looked at Qin Yun and company in a leisurely manner. He was unfazed by the Myriad Flower Palace as he said indifferently, “So, are you not willing to hand over the memento?”
“Island Lord, it’s not that we are unwilling to hand them over. It’s that we don’t have it,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “After we entered Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley, the memento was taken back by it.”
“You do not have it?” The white-haired man glanced at Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “So did you obtain the divine fruits?”
“Why ask so many questions?” bellowed Goumang.
“So it appears you did obtain the divine fruits. Hand them all over and I can spare your lives,” said the white-haired man calmly. After all, if Qin Yun and company were unwilling to do so, they could destroy the divine fruits and memento before they were killed.
To Bohan Island Lord…
Although these other-universe cultivators were of use, they were not as important as the three legendary divine fruits.
With those divine fruits, he could make deals with another powerful existence. That powerful existence was much more powerful when it came to resurrecting lives. Legend had it that by paying a sufficiently large price, this person was even capable of retrieving the deceased from the river of time.
“Dream on.” Hou Yi sneered.
“Giving you the divine fruits we went through such great effort to obtain?” Kong Xuan also looked at Bohan Island Lord.
“You seem unconvinced of my strength, then I shall beat you into submission.” Bohan Island flipped his hand as a black disc appeared in his hand.
“Collect.”
Kong Xuan’s mind immediately stirred as the Five-colored Divine Light flashed.
However, Bohan Island Lord continued wielding the black disc. He looked at Kong Xuan with a faint smile. “From the looks of it, you are unable to snatch away my treasures.”
Kong Xuan’s expression changed. His Five-colored Divine Light was not omnipotent. Qin Yun’s Intrinsic Flying Sword, Hou Yi’s arrow that had been infused with Heart Force were things he couldn’t snatch! As for the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor, as long as they were guarded against him, there was no way for Kong Xuan to snatch their treasures. Even if they were taken away out of carelessness, they could instantly snatch them back.
As for Bohan Island Lord, he was clearly well aware of Kong Xuan’s ability and made plans to counter it.
“Witness my array formation,” Bohan Island Lord said leisurely as he activated the black disc.
“Whoosh.”
A huge black array appeared, sealing the surrounding void.
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers had been sealed like a huge black void prison! Myriad Flower Palace was naturally within its confines, along with Qin Yun and company.
“No matter what means you employ, there’s no way you can escape.” Bohan Island Lord smiled as he waved his hand. “What I’m best at isn’t array formations, but saber arts.”
Three curved sabers appeared before him. Two of them did not have a hilt other than the blade! Floating there, they suffused a staggering baneful aura that alarmed Qin Yun and company.
“This is the most terrifying baneful aura-emitting weapon I’ve ever seen,” said Kong Xuan via a voice transmission. “How many lives has the saber killed to have such an aura?”
Qin Yun, Hou Yi, Goumang and Palatial Lord Myriad Flower wore masks of solemnity.
“Go.”
Bohan Island leisurely waved his hand.
Three curved sabers immediately spun as they sliced at the Myriad Flower Palace. They did not seem to move quickly, but Qin Yun and company could sense the infinite deathly stillness just by looking at them with their naked eye! They felt their bodies were wallowing in despair! Qin Yun felt like he was a victim of drowning as he struggled. Even his control of the Misty Rain Array weakened greatly.
“Be careful,” bellowed Hou Yi as his Heart Force spread in every direction. Qin Yun and company were jolted awake as they recovered.
As Hou Yi shouted, he immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow beam.
“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”
Arrows were shot out in rapid succession as they went straight for Bohan Island Lord who continued controlling the three sabers and allowed the arrows to come at him.
“Pfft.” When they were still a hundred feet from Bohan Island Lord, an invisible void barrier fended off the arrow.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” There was a deep rumble.
The sabers sliced at the surface of the Myriad Flower Palace’s array formations and immediately caused them to tremble. Layer after layer of array formations cracked, but new array formations took their place.
“Palatial Lord Myriad Flower, you always hid in the Myriad Flower Palace whenever you saw me coming. You would immediately steer the Myriad Flower Palace to fly into the Chaos spatial rift for your life,” said Bohan Island Lord with a laugh. “But this time, there are no Chaos spatial rift around. Let’s see you flee now.”
As the array formations boomed, the array formations cracked one after another.
Hou Yi was still shooting his arrows.
The seventh, eighth arrow! But the eighth arrow was still completely blocked by the void barrier.
“Boom!”
The ninth arrow manifested as a golden beam.
At the instant the ninth arrow reached the void barrier a hundred feet away from Bohan Island Lord, it created a loud boom and tore open a hole. Just as it was about to reach Bohan Island Lord, it stopped ten feet away as a blurry black barrier protected Bohan Island and his surroundings. The ninth arrow was completely blocked.
“This arrow of yours actually has the might of the Primordial realm. I can sense the inner world’s force of the heart in this arrow.” Bohan Island Lord looked at Hou Yi in surprise. “Unfortunately, your archery skills are too crude.”
The hearts of Qin Yun, Goumang, and Kong Xuan palpitated.
An arrow with the strength at the Heavenly Dao realm had been so easily blocked without even using a weapon.
Hou Yi, who was only a slight distance away from the Heavenly Dao realm, was actually described to have crude archery skills? Could Bohan Island Lord’s realm have already reached the Heavenly Dao realm?
“You should have guessed that I have long reached the Primordial realm. I just haven’t had my strength break through to it.” Bohan Island looked at Qin Yun and company. “Besides, I have also cultivated in various cultivation systems from different universes in the spatial tide. You are not my match. Obediently hand over all the divine fruits and I can still spare your life.”
“Boom~” The Myriad Flower Palace’s array formations were once again cracked open. As the three sabers sliced at the Myriad Flower Palace’s yard walls, they began to crack.
Palatial Lord Myriad Flower said worriedly, “Help me fend off the attacks. My Myriad Flower Palace won’t be able to last much longer.”
“Oh?” Qin Yun immediately had willed for his Misty Rain Array to expand. It began defending against the three sabers along with the Myriad Flower Palace’s array formations.
The combined forces of the Misty Rain Array and the Myriad Flower Palace’s array formations could hardly hold as the Myriad Flower Palace’s array formations continued being destroyed. The only difference was that the speed of the destruction was slower.
“All you did was help me block off one saber. I’m still incapable of defending against the other two sabers. My array formations are being cracked,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower urgently.
“I’m already doing my best.” Qin Yun was also powering his array with all his Dharmic powers, but his Misty Rain Array was churning like it would collapse at any moment. “To be able to put up a greater defense, I’ll need to burn my Essence Soul Dharmic powers.”
“My Myriad Flower Palace can only last for a few more seconds. The palace is about to be fall,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower, flustered.
“Didn’t you say that you had a chance of defending against him?” Goumang asked with a frantic voice transmission.
“When I met Bohan Island Lord in the past, I would immediately steer the Myriad Flower Palace into a Chaos spatial rift. I’ve never defended against him for so long.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower was panicking. “Besides, he had never used so much strength when he attacked those previous times.”
Puah! Puah! Puah!
As the array formations cracked in succession, the Myriad Flower Palace which Palatial Lord Myriad Flower had been controlling for many years turned increasingly weak. As the outer walls of the palace cracked, they began to crumble. It made Palatial Lord Myriad Flower reveal a look of despair.
“Boom!”
Upon seeing this, Qin Yun immediately ignited his Essence Soul Dharmic powers and powered his Misty Rain Array, causing its might to greatly increase as he helped fending off two of the sabers. As for the third saber, the Myriad Flower Palace was barely able to fend it off.
“I won’t be able to last long while burning my Essence Soul Dharmic powers,” said Qin Yun urgently.
“That sword array of yours is rather interesting. But how long can you last burning your Essence Soul?” Bohan Island Lord said leisurely from afar. “All of you will die if you do not hand over the divine fruits!”
