Looking at Liu Bai, who appeared as insignificant as an ant before him and was even standing there blankly as if he had already given up resisting—the Kidney-Deficient Young Master revealed a look of contempt.
"Brat, let me show you what the true power of a Sovereign expert really is!"
As his words fell, the gigantic Celestial Body—possessing a devilishly seductive physique paired with a demonic visage—struck an alluring pose. The Rakshasa-like face gazed down at Liu Bai, and from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, countless pale pink flames surged forth, directly enveloping him.
Although the flames raged fiercely, the surrounding temperature showed no change at all. Liu Bai could not even sense any real heat from the pink flames.
"So this is the so-called 'Lust Flame' that no one can resist?"
The true terror of the Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body lay in its ability to release endless Lust Flames. These flames were not real fire, but if one were truly engulfed by them, the consequences would be no less terrifying than being burned by Undying Fire.
At that point, one would truly experience what it meant to have "lust burn the body." It was an attack no one could resist—capable not only of destroying the physical body but also forcing one into utter humiliation. For powerful experts who valued their dignity above all else, this was far more horrifying than death itself.
Of course, that did not mean the Lust Flame was invincible.
Liu Bai's spiritual energy had already fused with Undying Fire. With a simple wave of his hand, vast swathes of purple flames erupted, blocking the pink Lust Flames outside.
"What powerful flames! But the gap between us isn't something mere spiritual fire can make up for!"
"I'd like to see how long you can last under my Lust Flame!"
The cold voice echoed for miles. The enormous Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body roared, continuously spewing endless flames.
Liu Bai raised his head, watching silently. He slowly lifted both hands and brought them together before his chest, forming an extremely complex seal.
"Activate the array."
As the soft words left his lips, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently, before cracking open with massive fissures.
Seven pillars of light shot explosively out from the depths of the earth, surging straight into the sky and merging into the sea of stars above.
"What is this?!" The Kidney-Deficient Young Master stood atop the Lustfeind Demon's shoulders, looking up at the starry sky in confusion.
Protected by the purple Undying Fire, Liu Bai's figure slowly ascended, stopping at the same height as the Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body.
Looking at the Kidney-Deficient Young Master standing on the Demon's shoulder, Liu Bai smiled faintly.
"Didn't you compete with me for the Starlight Seven Slaughter Array at the auction? Now's a good chance for you to personally experience its power."
"The Starlight Seven Slaughter Array?! This is bad—!"
When the Kidney-Deficient Young Master had been condensing his Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body, Liu Bai had already begun secretly laying out the formation.
With his current attainments in Array and after fully opening his Sovereign Sea—Liu Bai was already capable of setting up seventh-rank arrays. In other words, he was now a genuine Earth-grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster.
Thus, deploying a Human-grade high-level array like the Starlight Seven Slaughter Array without being detected was entirely within his abilities. Moreover, the opponent had conveniently filled the surroundings with Lust Flames, making Liu Bai's movements even more concealed.
At this moment, the array was complete.
Above the battlefield, seven massive stars flickered brilliantly, illuminating the area within a hundred miles as if it were daytime.
More importantly, the stars were descending at an inconceivable speed—aimed directly at the thousand-zhang-tall Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body that stood like a mountain upon the earth.
"This is bad!"
Black-robed Elder Mu, who was fighting Jiu You, was instantly alarmed.
It wasn't that he had never considered the possibility of Liu Bai being a Spiritual Array Master—he simply hadn't expected someone so young to possess such an astonishingly high level of mastery.
The Starlight Seven Slaughter Array was a Human-grade high-level array. To control it so effortlessly required at least an Earth-grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster. What was even more unbelievable was that Liu Bai had only obtained the array diagram yesterday! Even with exceptional talent, who could possibly comprehend and master such a formation in a single day?!
Yet the reality was right before their eyes—there was no denying it.
The Starlight Seven Slaughter Array could instantly kill a Second-Grade Sovereign and heavily injure a Third-Grade Sovereign. Their Young Sect Master clearly wouldn't be able to withstand it. If he died here, how would Elder Mu explain it to the Sect Master?
With a long howl, the black-robed figure erupted with boundless spiritual energy. A massive black thousand-zhang Celestial Body also manifested between heaven and earth.
Boom!
Terrifying waves of spiritual energy gathered as the Celestial Body attempted to forcibly withstand the falling stars.
As a Fifth-Grade Sovereign, his Celestial Body might lack the strange abilities of the Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body, but in terms of refinement alone, it was enough to endure the Starlight Seven Slaughter Array at worst suffering some injuries. That was far better than losing his life.
This scene also allowed Liu Bai to confirm one thing: the Kidney-Deficient Young Master only had Elder Mu as protection. There were no other hidden experts, meaning there was little risk of any uncontrollable variables today.
"Hmph."
However, just as Elder Mu made his move, a cold snort echoed from above.
A tempest swept the skies as a Cloud-Piercing Wing wreathed in purple flames descended, tearing through heaven and earth as it cleaved downward toward the black Celestial Body with lightning speed.
Sensing the terrifying fluctuations from above, Elder Mu's expression changed drastically. The opponent he was facing now was even more dangerous than the Starlight Seven Slaughter Array—especially those heart-palpitating purple flames, which gave him no room for carelessness.
If he didn't defend against this strike, his Celestial Body could be severely damaged, and at that point, forget blocking the Array—he might even lose his life on the spot.
After all, Jiu You was a Nine Netherworld Sparrow, a genuine top-tier divine beast, an extremely rare evolved individual even within the Nine Nether clan and she had awakened true Undying Fire.
In the end, Elder Mu could only grit his teeth and strike back with a palm. His thousand-zhang Celestial Body turned around, raising its massive hands to forcibly clash with the descending Cloud-Piercing Wing.
Boom!
A violent storm of spiritual energy swept outward.
With the final rescue cut off, the Kidney-Deficient Young Master was filled with terror. He could only watch helplessly as the seven great stars crashed down from the heavens onto his Lustfeind Demon Celestial Body, instantly shattering it.
Pfft!
The destruction of the Celestial Body caused a devastating backlash, severely injuring him. His entire body felt as if it had been smashed apart along with the Celestial Body—he could barely even stand.
And that wasn't even the worst part yet.
The most fatal damage was that the shattering of his Celestial Body directly caused a violent backlash within his Sovereign Sea. Countless streams of spiritual energy surged uncontrollably in reverse through his meridians, instantly turning his entire meridian system into utter chaos.
Even if a powerful expert were to rescue him now, at best he might barely cling to life but his cultivation was absolutely beyond saving.
What was more, there was no one here to save him.
There was only an executioner sharpening his blade.
"I already told you—this is the burial ground I chose for you. You just didn't believe it."
Holding the Purple Heaven Sword, Liu Bai walked over with a gentle smile.
On the ground, the immobilized Young Master Kidney Deficiency was still filled with venomous hatred. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Liu Bai as he spoke coldly,
"Brat, do you dare kill me? I am from the Demonic Passion Sect—"
Chi!
A soft sound, like a blade piercing cloth, abruptly cut off the rest of his sentence.
"At this point, what's the use of announcing your background?" Liu Bai said indifferently. "Aren't you still going to die? Besides, nobody wants to know your name anyway. 'Young Master Kidney Deficiency' is more than enough—it even saves someone the trouble of making up another nickname for you."
"Being an unnamed extra is actually quite nice."
As he spoke, Liu Bai casually flicked his hand, and the Space Bracelet on the opponent's wrist fell directly into his palm. He did not immediately open it, but judging from the situation, there were certainly quite a few valuable items inside.
The moment the Young Master Kidney Deficiency—who had not even finished introducing himself—died, the black-robed Mu Elder on the opposite side instantly went berserk.
His sect's young master had been killed right under his protection. Even if he survived, there would be no good ending awaiting him. And if these two were allowed to escape, his death would be all but guaranteed!
At this moment, Mu Elder completely lost all restraint. After forcing Jiu You back, he charged straight toward Liu Bai without hesitation.
"Damn it! Jiu You, hold him back!"
Liu Bai was startled and immediately transformed into a golden streak of light, vanishing from where he stood.
Almost at the same instant he retreated, the ground where he had been standing collapsed inward, terrifying spiritual energy blasting straight through the earth and carving out a ten-thousand-zhang abyss.
Kreeee!
Accompanied by an enraged cry, the enormous black sparrow in the sky wheeled around and, wrapped in world-destroying purple flames, charged directly toward Mu Elder's Celestial Body.
Mu Elder's repeated disregard for Jiu You in favor of attacking Liu Bai had clearly enraged her. Without hesitation, she slammed straight into his Celestial Body with full force.
Already half-maddened by killing intent, Mu Elder failed to evade in time and was struck head-on by Jiu You's all-out assault, immediately coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Jiu You gave him no chance to recover. Leaving her divine beast true form to restrain his Celestial Body, she clenched her fist and smashed it directly into Mu Elder's face.
Bang!
The sound was crisp—clearly, the skull was solid.
However, as a divine beast, Jiu You's physical body was her greatest weapon. That single blow left Mu Elder dizzy and disoriented, completely unable to spare any attention to Liu Bai.
Finally able to breathe again, Liu Bai was filled with indignation.
That old bastard had no sense of honor—sneak-attacking an innocent young man like him. Such a grudge absolutely could not be let go!
"Jiu You, hold him! I'm coming to help you!"
With a loud shout, Liu Bai's hands began forming seals at lightning speed. Spiritual seals flew out in rapid succession, and after more than ten minutes, a total of five thousand spiritual seals were finally completed.
By this point, Liu Bai's face was deathly pale—he could feel his Sovereign Sea on the verge of being completely drained.
"Wood Scripture!"
Gathering his remaining strength, Liu Bai abruptly changed his hand seals and shouted inwardly.
A vast green ripple spread outward from Liu Bai, instantly engulfing several lush mountain ranges.
Those who had been watching the battle from afar were immediately alarmed by the scene. However, confusion quickly followed, as they could not sense any particularly violent spiritual energy fluctuations from the green ripples.
"What is this supposed to be?"
"Judging by the residual battle fluctuations, both sides should have Fifth-Grade Sovereign-level strength. Battles at this level are rare—could it be another major force robbing people in the wild?"
This area was not far from the Merchant City, and due to its proximity to the Endless Mountains, such incidents were not unheard of.
Veteran adventurers who occasionally passed through such places were already accustomed to these disturbances. As long as they behaved themselves, everything would settle once the battle ended.
Who killed whom, who robbed whom—what did that have to do with them?
Still, the scale of this disturbance was unprecedented. The green ripples alone had startled quite a few people.
"Seems like nothing's happening…"
Seeing no immediate changes, many people relaxed.
But at that very moment—
Buzz… buzz…
Someone suddenly felt faint vibrations spreading through the mountain range.
The tremors grew stronger and stronger, until they resembled thunder rumbling beneath the earth.
In the next instant, countless people saw that the once-vibrant forest sea covering the mountains erupted with surging green light.
Their expressions changed drastically, because within that green glow, they sensed an extremely terrifying surge of spiritual energy.
"Where is all this spiritual energy coming from?!" someone cried out in shock.
They had not sensed any flow of Spiritual Energy, yet such vast and boundless spiritual energy had appeared out of nowhere.
"Wait… the source of the spiritual energy seems to be the trees!" someone with sharp perception quickly realized.
At the same time, on the battlefield, Liu Bai—now drenched in sweat—could no longer concern himself with how far his divine art extended.
He truly could not hold on much longer.
"Wood Scripture—Transform Wood into Spirit!"
Liu Bai slammed his hand seal downward.
In an instant, all the surrounding mountain ranges erupted with dazzling green radiance. The green light gathered in the sky, forming a massive dragon that roared as it shot straight toward Liu Bai.
Simultaneously, space twisted behind him, and a spatial gate abruptly opened, allowing the green dragon to surge directly inside.
In the next moment, a torrential downpour fell within Liu Bai's previously dried-up Sovereign Sea. The green rainwater carried boundless vitality, not only restoring waves within the depleted Sovereign Sea, but also rapidly repairing the spatial cracks caused by excessive spiritual energy consumption.
