This really caught Lin Chang’sheng off guard; he hadn’t expected the array to be so overpowering.
"What’s this?"
Gu Shan suddenly noticed a black line appearing on his wrist, and that shadowy haze was slowly crawling upward as time passed.
"Is this Evil Qi?"
Gu Shan was curious—if it really was Evil Qi, wouldn’t that mean once it reached his head...
...his Primordial Spirit would be devoured by this overwhelming evil?
"Hahahaha—"
Corpse Evil Daoist burst out laughing, "Savor your last moments while you still can!"
But Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t fazed; three days would be enough for him to simplify this array to perfection.
Once he reached perfection-level mastery of it, he was sure he’d find a way to break it.
[Detected: Corpse Evil World-Ending Celestial Array, spend 12,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
The system interface popped up with a prompt.
"Simplify!"
Lin Chang’sheng chose to simplify without hesitation, even though it hurt to use so many Immortal Crystals.
But this was their only chance to get out of here alive.
[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Corpse Evil World-Ending Celestial Array... Simplifying... Simplification complete, Corpse Evil World-Ending Celestial Array == Control Corpse Puppet!]
"Control Corpse Puppet?"
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself; this was easy!
Next moment, Lin Chang’sheng began making the Corpse Puppet jump all over the place.
Corpse Evil World-Ending Celestial Array experience points +1!
Corpse Evil World-Ending Celestial Array experience points +1!
...
As Lin Chang’sheng kept controlling the Corpse Puppet, the array’s experience points kept racking up.
Corpse Evil Daoist watched, a bit confused, but didn’t bother interfering.
...
One day flashed by just like that.
As time ticked on, the black line on Lin Chang’sheng’s arm grew longer—it had already reached all the way to his shoulder, then split into two paths.
One line snaked toward his heart, the other up to his head.
If the line reached his heart, the Evil Qi would surely corrode it.
If the line reached his head, then his Divine Sense would be consumed by the Evil Qi.
So no matter where the black line spread, it meant certain catastrophe for Lin Chang’sheng.
[Corpse Evil World-Ending Celestial Array Perfection!]
Finally, after grinding proficiency for an entire day, Lin Chang’sheng achieved perfection in the array.
"Wait, you need four people working together to break it?"
After comprehending the array, Lin Chang’sheng was startled.
To crack it, you need four people standing in the east, west, south, and north, powering up with blood energy in sync to shatter the array.
But there were only Lin Chang’sheng and Gu Shan inside—where were they supposed to find two more?
"Right!"
Lin Chang’sheng glanced at the Holy Soul Banner’s space to see if Luo Juetian was dead yet.
Turned out Luo Juetian was still alive, not yet killed by the Grand Array—tough bastard, though now Luo Juetian looked seriously drained.
With a wave, Lin Chang’sheng rescued Luo Juetian out from the Soul Banner’s Grand Array.
Luo Juetian, freed by Lin Chang’sheng, was totally bewildered.
"Since when are you so kind?"
Luo Juetian asked, confused.
He’d been on the brink of collapse, never imagined Lin Chang’sheng would rescue him.
"Wouldn’t call it kindness—it’s just that we’ve hit an even bigger screwup now!"
Lin Chang’sheng pointed at the sky.
Luo Juetian looked up—sure enough, the sky was covered by a black veil; obviously they were inside a Grand Array.
Seeing that, Luo Juetian couldn’t help but snicker coldly.
Looked like Lin Chang’sheng must need his help now.
"Don’t tell me you want me to help you beg for mercy?"
Never expected Lin Chang’sheng to be the one who had to ask him.
"If we don’t break this array, both of us die—unless you feel like leaving it all to someone else?"
Lin Chang’sheng didn’t believe Luo Juetian would just give up; if he died, Luo Juetian would surely follow.
"Corpse Evil Daoist, drop the array!"
Luo Juetian shouted out.
But there was no way Corpse Evil Daoist would pass up his chance to obliterate Lin Chang’sheng just for Luo Juetian.
"Remove it? Hahahaha—"
Corpse Evil Daoist sneered.
As long as he took out Lin Chang’sheng, killing off Luo Juetian was nothing.
He and Luo Juetian weren’t exactly best buds.
"You really want to start trouble with the Immortal Martial Hall over this?"
Luo Juetian hadn’t expected Corpse Evil Daoist to be so ruthless, willing to cast his life aside just like that.
"After you’re dead, who’d know you died by my hand?"
Corpse Evil Daoist laughed in disdain.
"You—"
Luo Juetian was beyond pissed at that.
"Looks like it’s game over for us."
Luo Juetian sighed, resigned to their fate.
"I’ve already found the way to break this array."
Lin Chang’sheng announced.
"If you know how to crack it, why bother pulling me out?"
Luo Juetian was baffled.
"It takes four people working together to break it!"
Lin Chang’sheng said straight-up.
"Four people together?"
Luo Juetian glanced around—they only had three. Where would the fourth come from?
Lin Chang’sheng decided to call out Xiaonan for a try.
Then four stood at the east, west, south, and north, and began channeling their energy.
"No way! How did he find the solution so fast?"
Seeing Lin Chang’sheng and crew in action, Corpse Evil Daoist was shaken—just what kind of monster was Lin Chang’sheng?
He actually figured out how to break the array in only one day?
But luckily, there were only three humans—the last one was a Great Demon Beast, and the Demon Beast’s power couldn’t disrupt the array.
Rumble—
Sure enough, the four blasted away with all their strength, making the Grand Array tremble, but couldn’t break it.
"So you really need four people?"
Lin Chang’sheng hesitated, then went ahead and summoned Guo Yunchu.
