Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 752: The Power of the Array Plate
"You...you are people from the Jiang Family?"
Qinchuan feigned a sudden realization.
"Hmph, at least you have some awareness, kid. We are indeed from the Jiang, Liu, Ji, and other major families of the Heavenly South Great Domain, and the person before you is the Immortal from the Golden Spirit Holy Land, known as the Goddess Xue Yi.
You have successively slain two Immortals from the Golden Spirit Holy Land; this young master advises you not to play any tricks and to obediently heed Goddess Xue Yi's words."
Standing behind the goddess, a young man with an imposing presence and handsome appearance spoke with disdain from his elevated position.
"My patience is limited, I'll say it again, hand over the two Spiritual Pearls and destroy your Soul yourselves, otherwise, every single person in the city behind you will be buried with you." The goddess from the Golden Spirit Holy Land commanded, her presence majestic and her aura robust.
"Immortal, I have placed the two Spiritual Pearls in the secret room within the mansion, please allow me to retrieve them."
Qinchuan said from a distance.
Xue Yi's gaze lifted slightly, glancing at Qinchuan.
Seeing that he could remain neither humble nor arrogant under her intense pressure, she actually developed a higher regard for Qinchuan in her heart.
As for the Spiritual Pearls not being on Qinchuan's person, she had no doubts.
After all, not only Cultivators from the Divine Wilderness Continent but also many disciples from the Divine Realm wouldn't keep some important Supreme Treasures on them, but in a safe place instead.
"I will give you sixty breaths of time to retrieve the Spiritual Pearls," she said without any doubt that Qinchuan would play any tricks, nor did she fear Qinchuan escaping. With her Divine Being Realm cultivation level, she was confident that no one could escape.
"Sixty breaths are more than enough," Qinchuan nodded and spoke indifferently.
Then, he slowly withdrew, showing a great deal of respect for the other party.
When Qinchuan finally retreated safely back into the city, he suddenly shouted towards the direction of the palace and other areas: "Li Kaitian, activate the Array Plate!"
At the same time, he hurriedly flew towards the Qin Residence, loudly calling for Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er.
Goddess Xue Yi's arrival had naturally been noticed early by Li Kaitian and others; they had prepared well in advance, waiting for Qinchuan's order to activate the Array Plate.
The moment they received Qinchuan's telepathic message, they hesitated no further, each stimulating their Spells.
Subsequently, an aura surged from the bodies of the twelve Great Emperors, engulfing the Zhonghua Formation Plate, and a mysterious green orb of light shot up from the Array Plate into the sky.
The green aura soared into the clouds, and right below where Goddess Xue Yi and the others were standing, it exploded with a bang. It transformed into a curving screen of light that spread rapidly outward.
The screen expanded at an incredible rate, and within a mere half-breath, it had enveloped the entire Tianqing City, resembling a giant Green Lotus leaf, both mystical and ancient.
In that instant, all Cultivators within Tianqing City felt the terrifying pressure overhead vanish without a trace.
Many Cultivators initially thought that the heaven-defying powerful beings had left and began to look up.
But they saw a thin layer of a light barrier above them, and outside the barrier, those four heaven-defying powerful beings had not left.
"What's going on, how come the aura of that heaven-defying powerful being suddenly disappeared!"
"What is that light barrier?"
"Could it be, this is Tianqing City's protective array?" some Cultivators speculated.
"It must be Tianqing City's Protective Great Formation, that's why we are not affected by that strong being's pressure."
Many Cultivators discussed among themselves, quickly realizing it was a protective array.
"This protective array, can it withstand attacks from such powerful beings?"
Many Cultivators began to worry again.
After all, Goddess Xue Yi had demonstrated overpoweringly strong capabilities just moments before.
Qinchuan quickly returned, standing inside the array's light barrier.
There had been a significant change in his aura, as he had gone from the early stage of the Great Saint Realm to the Great Emperor Realm.
In just a matter of dozens of breaths, he had returned to the Qin Residence and activated his first life's physical body.
Originally, he thought that deceiving Xue Yi into fetching the Spiritual Pearl, while actually activating the defensive array, would anger her and the others.
However, he found that Xue Yi and the others calmly stood outside the array, waiting quietly, not taking the protective light barrier of the array before them seriously at all.
Her expression was as usual, showing not the slightest hint of anger.
Did she not understand that Qinchuan was deceiving her?
No, Holy Maiden Xue Yi was naturally aware that Qinchuan was preparing to resist her.
But to her, everything before her eyes appeared as though Qinchuan was nothing more than a jumping clown.
The fury is the expression of the powerless; in the face of absolute power, she simply could not muster any feelings of anger.
All she needed to do was wait for sixty breaths to pass and then eliminating Qinchuan would suffice.
Just a mere protective great formation; how could it stop her footsteps.
"Ten breaths left. It seems you are prepared to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the city?" Holy Maiden Xue Yi looked at Qinchuan behind the light barrier and whispered, her tone devoid of any emotion.
"The fairy has misunderstood; I did not go to fetch the Spiritual Pearl. Now that I have retrieved it, if the fairy wishes to have it, feel free to come and get it," Qinchuan said calmly, holding a glowing green Spiritual Pearl in his hand inside the protective array.
"Five breaths left," Holy Maiden Xue Yi continued, her voice playful as she looked at the green light screen, "Do you truly believe that this broken formation before you can halt me?"
A cultivator standing behind Xue Yi burst into mad laughter, unable to resist mocking, "Kid, I think you've got the guts of a Heavenly God; in front of a Divine Being Realm powerhouse, you still dare to play these clever tricks."
"Whether or not it can stop you all remains to be tested, how can we jump to conclusions so soon?" Qinchuan's eyes shone brightly as he tightly gripped the Chi Yue Spear in his hands, his aura continuously climbing.
He had no confidence that the array plate could block the few people before him, but even if it couldn't, he was confident that he could fight using his last resort.
Even if he was unable to suppress the opposition, he could at least drag out the fight until the effects of their Heaven Warding Pill expired.
"Time's up!"
At that moment, Xue Yi's eyes shot out a dazzling divine light, her lips parting slightly.
Speaking, she raised her lotus arm; a phoenix shadow emerged as she violently struck towards the green light barrier in front of her.
To deal with a mountain protection formation, she had no intention of exerting her full strength, using only twenty percent of her power.
Yet even that twenty percent was terrifying; a group of Great Emperor powerhouses wouldn't be able to withstand her palm.
This wasn't just the gap between the Great Emperor Realm and the Divine Being Realm.
It was also the gap between the Mortal Realm and the Divine Realm.
She was confident that she could break through the protective array before her.
But the next moment, her palm struck the light barrier in front of her, and her complexion changed slightly.
The scene she had imagined of shattering the light barrier with one palm did not occur; instead, she felt as if her Divine Power Spells had struck a body of water, causing ripples that spread outwards from the barrier.
The light barrier of the array itself showed no sign of cracking at all.
"Fairy, you haven't taken me seriously enough, to attack the great formation I have laid out without using your full strength?
Knowing that you are a cultivator of the Divine Being Realm, how could I possibly rely on a shabby formation to stop you?"
Qinchuan, standing within the light screen saw that the formation was intact and let out a slight sigh of relief.
