Chapter 1182: Provoking Grand Array Deity King!

Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow, already guessing who had arrived.

In this divine domain, who else but Grand Array Deity King could use the power of formations to block his Raging Sword Fire Lotus?

A figure stepped out from the void, with slightly graying hair and a ruddy complexion—it was none other than Grand Array Deity King Lu Linfeng.

“Brother Ji, for my sake, let him off, how about it?” Lu Linfeng said with a smile.

Lu Linfeng was confident that Ye Yuan would certainly give him this face.

After all, his relationship with Ye Yuan was still passable.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and suddenly laughed, “Fine, but… trade it for the Nine Scrolls of Array Dao!”

Lu Linfeng’s expression stiffened slightly, clearly not expecting Ye Yuan to be so unyielding.

The Nine Scrolls of Array Dao was the work of his lifetime; how could he easily show it to others?

“Brother, must you be so aggressive?” Lu Linfeng sighed.

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, “I gave him a chance, and he said he was ready to die. I thought… he really was.”

Duan Zhengxiao’s face alternated between green and red, utterly embarrassed by Ye Yuan’s words.

He had said that earlier because he thought Ye Yuan was weak.

With his strength, even if he couldn’t win, he could still save his life.

He just hadn’t expected Ye Yuan’s strength to be so terrifying!

If Lu Linfeng hadn’t arrived in time, he would probably be nothing but ashes by now.

“Let me act as a mediator, and let this matter rest here!” Lu Linfeng’s words carried an indisputable authority.

When the Third Deity King spoke, even the divine domain would tremble.

There weren’t many matters that could bring Lu Linfeng forward.

His authority was not to be challenged.

However, in Ye Yuan’s eyes, Lu Linfeng was nothing more than an old acquaintance.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “What if I say no?”

One sentence made everyone’s expression change!

“Domineering! No wonder Ye Yuan is titled Soaring Sky Deity King—this domineering spirit towers above the nine heavens!”

“Grand Array Deity King is a seasoned top-ten Deity King; he hasn’t made a move in years, and his strength is probably even more unfathomable now. The newly promoted Soaring Sky Deity King dares to stroke his beard.”

“Haha, this is getting more and more interesting! This trip wasn’t wasted; this battle is absolutely thrilling!”

…

Those geniuses, upon seeing this scene, were all as excited as if they’d been injected with stimulants.

They never dreamed that things would take such a dramatic turn.

The newly promoted tenth Deity King, Purple Extreme Deity King, had nearly been one-shot by Soaring Sky Deity King!

But at least the rankings of Purple Extreme Deity King and Soaring Sky Deity King were still somewhat apart.

Yet now, Soaring Sky Deity King was actually provoking Grand Array Deity King!

In fact, among the top ten Deity Kings, there was an unwritten rule: there was a gap between the top five and those ranked sixth to tenth.

This time, that saying was confirmed.

The changes among the bottom five were so great, while the top five remained as steady as a mountain.

The strength of the third-ranked Grand Array Deity King was too terrifying.

Such a fearsome attack from Ye Yuan had been casually annihilated by him.

Even so, Ye Yuan still dared to sweep his face like this!

If Soaring Sky Deity King and Grand Array Deity King came to blows, it would shake the entire divine domain tomorrow.

At Lu Linfeng’s level, most people could hide their emotions.

But his slightly narrowed eyes still revealed a trace of anger.

“It seems Soaring Sky Deity King, having achieved success at a young age, has grown arrogant and looks down on everyone!” Lu Linfeng said lightly.

“It seems Grand Array Deity King, relying on his seniority, has forgotten his place!” Ye Yuan shot back without courtesy.

“Hiss…”

The crowd drew in a cold breath—this… was a real confrontation!

A cold glint flashed in Lu Linfeng’s eyes, and his tone gradually cooled, “Brother Ji, we have known each other for a while. Must it come to a complete falling out?”

Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, “Lu Linfeng, I’m feeling a bit full of myself today. I’d like to spar with you!”

This time, Lu Linfeng finally grew angry and said, “As you wish!”

As the words fell, without any visible movement from Lu Linfeng, both he and Ye Yuan vanished from the crowd’s sight.

Ao Qian and the others, seeing this, felt their hearts tighten.

Having been out for so many years, they already knew what the top ten Deity Kings were.

They couldn’t understand why their lord was so reckless, provoking the third-ranked Grand Array Deity King.

This opponent was not like the ones before!

Yue Mengli, however, had a glint in her eyes and a faint smile on her lips, clearly guessing Ye Yuan’s intention.

“Miss Li’er, why are you smiling? Does my lord really have a chance of defeating Grand Array Deity King?” Ao Qian asked in surprise.

Li’er smiled and said, “In terms of strength, Yuan Ge is probably no match for Grand Array Deity King, but for Grand Array Deity King to defeat him won’t be easy either.”

Ao Qian and the others were stunned, not understanding.

On the other side, Ye Yuan’s vision blurred, and he found himself trapped in a formation.

Feeling the power of the formation, Ye Yuan chuckled, “Only a sixfold formation? My dear Grand Array Deity King, you really underestimate me!”

“I know your array dao strength all too well. A sixfold formation is more than enough to deal with you!”

Lu Linfeng’s voice came from the void, ethereal and elusive, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.

Lu Linfeng had stayed at the Medicine King Hall for quite some time, and during that period, Ye Yuan often exchanged insights with him.

Thus, Lu Linfeng was quite familiar with Ye Yuan’s level.

Although Ye Yuan’s strength was now formidable, Lu Linfeng judged that a sixfold formation would suffice against him.

“Is that so?”

Ye Yuan’s lips curled slightly, and his figure suddenly vanished.

He began to break the formation!

“It’s useless. The power of the sixfold stacked formations from the Nine Scrolls of Array Dao is such that even Song Qiuyu couldn’t break it. You replaced him, and even if you’re stronger… Hmm?”

Just as Lu Linfeng was calmly asserting that Ye Yuan couldn’t break the formation, his voice suddenly turned extremely surprised!

“You… how did you do it?”

Lu Linfeng was utterly shocked. His array dao was on a completely different level from that of the divine domain!

Ding Zhanguo, known as the second in the divine domain, could at most reach the level of his twofold formation.

If one relied on brute force to break the formation, given Ye Yuan’s strength, fivefold was the limit!

Sixfold—Ye Yuan absolutely could not break it.

But Ye Yuan wasn’t breaking it by force!

Ye Yuan was now destroying the formation’s foundation!

In the Nine Scrolls of Array Dao, each additional stacked formation multiplied the power geometrically.

The difficulty of breaking it also increased geometrically.

With many formations overlapping, even an array dao master couldn’t find the formation’s foundation.

Yet Ye Yuan, as if familiar with the path, had already destroyed one layer of the formation in the blink of an eye!

Lu Linfeng’s expression changed; he could no longer remain as calm as before.

“It seems I’ve underestimated you! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for disregarding old ties!”
