The Fiend Realm.
Inside a hidden valley.
Zhu Zhiyao's huge purple bamboo body trembled again.
This time, it wasn't just because of shock and fear, but because it was truly injured.
In that brief exchange of blows, not only was the divine consciousness it had sent out completely destroyed by Sang Duoduo, but its divine soul origin had also suffered an extremely violent backlash from Sang Duoduo's roar, causing it to be heavily injured.
This was definitely the first time in the past fifty years.
Ever since it secretly broke through to the Emperor Realm more than fifty years ago, Zhu Zhiyao had never suffered even the slightest bit of external damage.
That was because it had always been hiding, using the advantage of formations to accumulate resources without declaring itself king. It had quietly strengthened itself and its clan's strength.
Especially in the past few years, after it had unexpectedly broken through to the Venerable Realm, there was no powerhouse on the entire Origin Planet that could harm it, so there was no chance for it to be injured.
The Three Sovereigns of the Human Clan, the Five Sovereigns of the Fiend Clan, the eight most powerful Emperor Realm powerhouses on the Origin Planet, were all stuck at the peak of the Emperor Realm and could not break through. They had all been left behind by Zhu Zhiyao. It was invincible!
Even so, Zhu Zhiyao had never thought of coming out, showing its face, or flexing its muscles. As a spiritual plant that had achieved the Dao, it only wanted to quietly increase its strength and secretly live forever. It wanted to live like this until the end of time.
Therefore, after so many years of peaceful and leisurely life, Zhu Zhiyao had almost forgotten what it felt like to be injured.
Now, Sang Duoduo's sudden spiritual attack had instantly shattered its dream of being invincible and living forever.
It had never thought that Sang Duoduo, who had just broken through, would discover its existence so quickly!
It also didn't expect Yang Fan's female disciple to be so aggressive. She didn't say anything and attacked it so fiercely that it didn't even have a chance to defend itself!
It also didn't expect that after it had just expressed its goodwill to Yang Fan and even gifted Yang Fan two of its clan's prodigies to be his pet, Yang Fan would turn hostile and refuse to recognize it as a demon. He actually watched his disciple attack it without any intention of stopping it!
He was truly a wolf in the mountains. Once he achieved success, he would be rampant!
Now that his strength had just surpassed theirs, they immediately turned hostile. It was faster than flipping the pages of a book. There was no hesitation at all!
This was too much, too shameless!
Earlier, he had called them Senior Bamboo and said that he would warmly welcome them to settle down in the Human Realm. Now, he was beating them up without any consideration for their feelings!
As expected, the human race is still as cunning as before. I shouldn't have come into contact with them in the first place!
Zhu Zhi Yao's heart was filled with regret. She felt that she had been tricked by Yang Fan.
"No, this place is no longer safe. We have to move immediately!"
With danger approaching, Zhu Zhiyao didn't think about how to fight back. The first thought that appeared in her mind was that she had to run immediately. If she didn't run now, her entire clan might be left here.
That was what Zhu Zhiyao thought, and that was what she did.
Ignoring the pain in her soul, she waved the bamboo leaves on her body and the roots under her feet rapidly shrank. In just a few tenths of a second, her divine consciousness had completely enveloped her entire clan. She was ready to burrow into the ground and leave. She didn't even have time to withdraw the divine illusion array she had left in the valley.
This was because she had already sensed that Yang Fan and the others were rapidly approaching. If she didn't hurry, she might not be able to escape.
Bang!
Just as half of Zhu Zhiyao's body burrowed into the ground, she ran into an extremely tough spiritual barrier. More than half of the roots under her feet were broken because of this.
Her escape technique was forced to stop. Zhu Zhiyao's body shook violently, and her expression became extremely ugly.
"It's useless!"
At this moment, Sang Duoduo's voice rang out in the air above the divine illusion array.
"You're also a Supremacy yourself. You should understand that after reaching the Supremacy stage, the entire Source Planet is within the range of our senses. Even if you want to escape, where can you escape to?"
"The God Grade Illusory Array you've set up is indeed very exquisite, but its coverage is ultimately limited. Moreover, don't forget that this Sovereign's Master is extremely proficient in the Dao of Illusory Arrays. It won't be difficult for him to break your array!"
As she spoke, Sang Duoduo, Ling Tian, and Yang Fan had already broken through the air and appeared above the valley. They hovered in the air and looked down at the dense forest below.
Zhu Zhiyao's expression became dejected when she heard this.
She understood that Sang Duoduo was right.
In front of two Supreme-Being experts whose cultivation realms were both higher than it, where could it escape to?
As long as they were still on the Source Planet, Sang Duoduo and Ling Tian would always have a way to locate their location in the shortest time possible.
As for the defense of illusion arrays that she was most proficient in, after experiencing Yang Fan's abnormal talent in illusion arrays, Zhu Zhiyao no longer had the same confidence as before.
Otherwise, she would not have hurriedly escaped last time and dared not demonstrate any divine illusion arrays in front of Yang Fan again.
"What do you want?!"
In the illusion array, Zhu Zhiyao once again transformed into the appearance of a little girl. She looked up at Yang Fan and his two disciples who had already closed in on her and questioned sternly.
"I don't think I've offended you humans, nor do I have any intention of participating in the conflict between you humans and demons. We just want to cultivate peacefully and pursue the path of immortality. Why do you have to force us to do this?"
Zhu Zhiyao's voice was mournful, like a little wife who had been wronged.
They had clearly done nothing and had only done everything to protect themselves. Why were these people unwilling to let them go?
At this moment, Yang Fan was constantly observing and comprehending the brand-new divine illusion array below. From time to time, he would take the initiative to summon a trace of the array's power to attack himself. The system notifications kept ringing in his ears.
[You have observed and comprehended the laws of operation of the divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain. You have successfully learned the divine natural illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain. Mental Energy + 100000, Spiritual Willpower + 10000, Array Formation Insight + 1000, Array Formation Experience + 3000.]
[You have received a spiritual attack from the divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain. You have comprehended the divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain. Array Formation Insight + 500, Array Formation Experience + 1000.]
[You have received a spiritual attack from the divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain. You have comprehended the divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain. You have comprehended the divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain.]
"…"
[You have received a spiritual attack from the divine illusion array — Yin-Yang Reversal. You have comprehended the divine illusion array — Yin-Yang Reversal. Array Formation Insight + 100, Array Formation Experience + 300.]
[You have received a spiritual attack from the divine illusion array — Yin-Yang Reversal. You have comprehended the divine illusion array — Yin-Yang Reversal. You have comprehended the divine illusion array — Yin-Yang Reversal.]
"…"
[Spring Breeze and Rain, Yin-Yang Reversal. It's a perfect match!]
[I knew it! This Spirit Bamboo must be hiding a divine illusion array that it wasn't willing to take out. Sure enough!]
[Just this divine illusion array — Spring Breeze and Rain — this trip wasn't in vain!]
After receiving the detailed information about the Spring Breeze and Rain array's power, Yang Fan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The Spring Breeze and Rain array's effect was very similar to the Ten Cardinal Purgatory Demon Slaying Array that Yang Fan had previously grasped. They both had the ability to devour the opponent's attack energy and flesh energy and convert it for their own use. It was a logistical divine illusion array.
Unlike the Ten Cardinal Purgatory Demon Slaying Array, the Ten Cardinal Purgatory Demon Slaying Array didn't just have a logistical function. It also came with many complex killing arrays that could continuously strengthen itself while killing the opponent.
On the other hand, the Spring Wind and Rain Divine Illusory Formation did not contain so many offensive formations. Apart from confusing the opponent with illusions, its greatest effect was to dissolve and devour the opponent's attacks. Moreover, it had achieved this effect to the extreme.
Yang Fan felt that if the Spring Breeze and Rain divine illusion array was comprehended to the extreme, it would be able to completely dissolve and absorb even the attacks of peak Supreme-Being level attacks. Just the logistical power of this array was far superior to the Ten Cardinal Purgatory Demon Slaying Array.
That was why Yang Fan felt that this set of array formations was a perfect match with the main offensive Yin Yang Reversal Array Formation.
One was responsible for attacking while the other was responsible for replenishing. Under normal circumstances, as long as the opponent's cultivation wasn't too much higher than Zhu Zhiyao's, it would be impossible for them to break through the defenses of these two arrays.
Just like now.
Even though Sang Duoduo and Ling Tian's cultivations were higher than Zhu Zhiyao's by a level, they were still trapped outside the array and didn't have full confidence in breaking it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be wasting time with Zhu Zhiyao. Instead, they would have gone deep into the nest and attacked the root of the problem.
Yang Fan silently comprehended the two divine illusion arrays before him. In any case, with Ling Tian and Sang Duoduo's mental energy sealing off the surrounding area, he didn't need to worry about Zhu Zhiyao escaping. He had enough time to fully comprehend these two arrays.
"Yang Fan! Just what do you want? There is no enmity between us. Do you really want to kill me before you're willing to let this matter rest? "
Zhu Zhiyao panicked when she didn't hear a response from the trio. She couldn't help but raise her voice to question Yang Fan.
Yang Fan snapped out of his daze and lowered his head to glance at the little girl in the illusion array. He saw that the little girl's face had turned pale from fright. She looked like she had been bullied badly and was about to jump out and fight them to the death.
"Senior Zhu must be joking."
Yang Fan spoke indifferently, his voice as gentle and elegant as ever.
"We have no ill intentions, nor do we intend to force or even kill Senior. We've come completely out of kindness, and we've come to save Senior and Senior's race!"
Zhu Zhiyao almost vomited blood when she heard Yang Fan's words.
She had never seen such a shameless person before!
He had already brought people to her doorstep and he still dared to shamelessly claim that he had no ill intentions and that he was here out of kindness to save them?
Bah!
No matter how handsome you are, you can't make such irresponsible remarks!
I'm not an idiot, so why would I believe your nonsense?!
