【You can freely manipulate arrays and talismans】
The moment he saw this prompt.
Chen Huaian’s smile gradually became distorted.
As a premium player, wasn’t it all about directly crushing the boss during confrontations?
“Fiery Lightning Body Array, no need to hide anymore, let’s get it on!”
Cangyun Realm.
A loud shout echoed above the small hut:
“Fiery Lightning Body Array, activate!”
Buzz!
“What’s this!?” From Yefutian’s perspective, the ground within a hundred miles around the small hut was covered with flowing purple array characters. Flames and lightning burst forth from the array runes, weaving together into a large circle that enclosed him and the hut.
A sense of threat arose in his heart, but it wasn’t intense.
Yefutian was very cautious; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been pursued by righteous cultivators for so many years, escaping countless times while still managing to come out and cause trouble as he did today. If he were any other demon sect cultivator, he would have been dismembered long ago.
In the past, even a little threat would make him run immediately.
But not today.
The temptation before him was too great.
A supreme-grade elixir field!
If he could obtain this body, what would be the problem with the bottleneck that had plagued him for years? Even if he had to lose his cultivation and start over, he felt it would be worth it! The spiritual energy in Cangyun Realm was dwindling, and mere treasures were no longer enough to bring about a qualitative leap.
Wealth comes from taking risks.
Even if all the elders of the Bluecloud Sect were here today, he would still take the risk!
“Hmph! A mere array also wants to stop me?”
Yefutian’s body was hidden in demonic qi, his voice heard but his figure unseen. The demonic qi surged, revealing a blood mist palm that emerged from the qi, descending upon the roof of the hut with the force of a mountain. Sand and stones flew around, plants bent low, and inside the hut, Li Qingran felt a chill rise to her heart, making breathing difficult.
Boom!
The demonic palm struck the array, the array runes flickered but showed no signs of breaking.
“Good grief!” Chen Huaian, who was studying how to activate the array, jumped in surprise.
He was still figuring out how to drive the array when the boss’s attack landed.
Old man, not playing fair!
“Then I’ll give you a few heavenly-grade Fiery Lightning Talismans first!”
Chen Huaian rapidly tapped the screen, and three talismans flew from the door and walls of the hut, shooting towards the cloud of demonic qi.
Yefutian didn’t pay much attention to the three talismans. He was deeply concerned; the array hadn’t shattered under his full-power strike, indicating its high quality. In Cangyun Realm, array masters were the most mysterious. If given a choice, he truly didn’t want to face an array master.
With all his might, Yefutian unleashed his second palm, aiming for a quick resolution.
His palm technique was a low-grade earth-level skill—Blood Cloud Palm. It always hit its target and had a strange ability to corrode spiritual energy. Once struck, the opponent’s spiritual energy would be continuously devoured by the demonic qi of the Blood Cloud Palm.
Naturally, it affected the array.
In a blink, the three talismans were close, their golden light shining and thunder roaring.
“Something’s wrong! This… this is a heavenly-grade talisman!” Yefutian’s scalp tingled, but it was too late to change tactics.
The heavenly-grade Fiery Lightning Talismans exploded in mid-air, releasing torrents of fire and lightning that enveloped Yefutian’s blood cloud entirely.
Meanwhile, Chen Huaian figured out how to activate the array. A keyboard popped up on his phone, and he typed a combination of English and Chinese characters according to the sequence provided. Each correct entry activated the array once.
“This is child’s play for me.”
Previously, Chen Huaian wouldn’t have dared say that.
But since learning acupuncture, his hands had become steady and fast.
If he participated in a rhythm game competition now, he might break world records.
Tap tap tap!
Chen Huaian rapidly inputted on his phone screen.
[Come is ‘come’, go is ‘go’~]
Rumble!
Yefutian, who had barely managed to withstand the three Fiery Lightning Talismans, was struck by another bolt from the array before he could recover.
[Yes is nod, no is shake~]
[To greet, say ‘hello,’ hello hello, haha hello~]
Rumble! Rumble! Crack!
As Chen Huaian’s answer speed increased, so did the speed of the bolts. Although the Fiery Lightning Heaven-Destroying Array couldn’t instantly kill Yefutian, the sheer number overwhelmed him! Soon, the demonic qi cloud began to fade, revealing an old man with scorched black skin, tattered clothes, and white hair standing like dandelions.
“Aaaah! Enough! I will make you die!!!”
Yefutian had lived for over five hundred years. When had he ever experienced such humiliation?
He no longer hid, leaping to the roof of the hut. His dark blue hands extended forward, pressing down.
Demonic qi surged around him, forming a massive demonic avatar with green face and fangs behind him. The avatar opened its mouth wide, mimicking Yefutian’s movements and pressing forward.
Boom!
The entire Fiery Lightning Heaven-Destroying Array fully manifested under the immense pressure, the array runes crumbling, unable to sustain it.
“Oh no, the boss has entered phase three and activated their ultimate move?!”
—
One-third. He couldn’t help but admire: “But this boss is indeed impressive, with such flashy skills.”
Since buying the package guaranteed passage, he wasn’t worried at all, even having time to appreciate the boss’s appearance.
“Solid avatar formation, coordinated attacks. This is a Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator, and certainly not an ordinary one…”
Inside the hut, Li Qingran clenched her skirt, anxious, and couldn’t help but warn: “Senior, demon cultivators are cunning. Be extremely careful if they have any hidden tricks!”
At this moment, Senior had already taken action, and going up herself would only hinder him. She could only silently pray that Senior wouldn’t be injured in the battle with the demon cultivator. At the same time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and guilt. If not for Senior repairing her elixir field, how could she attract such a powerful demon sect expert? If she were stronger, she wouldn’t be hiding like a mouse, watching Senior take risks and being helpless.
The death of her parents planted the seed of vengeance in her heart.
The bullying from fellow sect members forged a resilient heart through the trials of life.
Now, a belief to grow stronger was sprouting in her heart.
The heavens are indifferent; to protect what you cherish, strength is needed at all times!
Boom! The Fiery Lightning Heaven-Destroying Array shattered.
Yefutian hovered above the hut, the avatar behind him shattering the incoming talismans, explosions barely affecting it: “Hehehe! Any other tricks? I cultivated the Heavenly Demon Art for four Corpse Kings, and after five hundred years of hard work, I condensed the Yingou avatar, indestructible and immensely strong, capable of breaking through myriad techniques. What use is your intricate array?”
“Is that so?”
A cold snort came from inside the hut.
As Chen Huaian released the final talisman, the night sky turned rust-colored.
Dark clouds churned like waves.
Purple lightning sliced through the sky like swords.
It seemed like a storm was approaching.
Yefutian looked up, feeling a chill, sensing an ominous premonition.
In the Bluecloud Sect, the cultivators watching the celestial phenomena were shaken.
Inside Wanshan Mountain, the red-haired zombie, originally ready to burst forth and kill Lu Changtian and others, suddenly trembled, howling and turning to run away, trying to escape the area covered by the lightning clouds.
Fiery Lightning Talismans, even heavenly-grade ones, merely infuse spiritual energy to create lightning and fire.
But the Nine Suns Purple Lightning Talisman harnesses the power of the heavens, drawing a divine bolt to purge evil.
“Concentrate!”
Chen Huaian followed the game’s instructions, tracing the strokes on the talisman with his fingers.
Heavenly wrath, leaving now is certain death!
Leaving this place, he could eventually obtain a supreme-grade elixir field.
He just needed to continue biding his time…
Yefutian didn’t even glance at Li Qingran inside the hut and prepared to flee.
The next second.
Rumble!
A lightning dragon descended, momentarily blinding the world with white.
The lightning split into two beams, one chasing Yefutian, the other striking eastward towards Wanshan Mountain.
In an instant, the earth shook.
Chen Huaian saw on his phone that Yefutian’s health bar vanished instantly.
He blew on his fingers, chuckling:
“Tsk tsk, this doesn’t work either, looking so formidable…”
“Why argue about it when it took 188 yuan to instantly defeat him?”
—
Inside the Bluecloud Sect.
Zhang Duantian, the sect leader, observed the unusual celestial phenomena, clearly feeling the intense fluctuations of spiritual energy. There were cultivators fighting inside Wanshan Mountain, and one of them even caused lightning to strike. This method was closely related to the mysterious cultivator who had previously refined divine elixirs…
“Zhao Lingtian.”
He pondered, hoping for a chance.
Thus, he turned to look at his bedridden disciple, pale-faced, and said seriously:
“This might be our last chance. We should go together this time. If we can get help from that senior, your elixir field might still be saved!”

Just because Li Bai is called the ‘Poetic Immortal’ does he become an immortal? Initially, I didn’t want to answer such questions, but to avoid some readers getting stuck on this, please note.]
