80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled Chapter 324 - Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation

Chapter 324: Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation

The skeleton was very tall. The horse beneath him also raised its head, wearing armor.
Underneath the armor, there were just actually white bones. The four hooves were suffused with blue flames, making the horse look aggressive and hideous.
At this moment, the bone horse spurted out blazing white flames as it stared at Lin Jiufeng and the others.
“What the hell is this?” Monk Anan asked in surprise.
Lin Jiufeng frowned and said solemnly, “It’s an undead creature!”
But Ouyang Xiu’s body trembled. The energy of the Eternal Dragon Boat in his palm erupted and spat out the word [Immortal]. It was so painful that he screamed.
“It’s from the Immortal Court!”
“It’s… someone from the army that we’re looking for.”
“How did it become like this?”
“What exactly happened?”
Ouyang Xiu trembled as he spoke, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The undead creature stared at Ouyang Xiu. The flames in its eyes burned fiercely.
The spear in its hand directly soared through the sky, as if it wanted to break the sky, aiming at Ouyang Xiu.
“Kill!”
The spiritual flame of the undead creature roared and then pierced over.
Boom!
The earth-shattering strike directly cut through the air, bringing with it a chaotic aura. The surrounding light was suddenly sucked away and condensed on this spear.
Ouyang Xiu’s body stiffened. He had been locked onto and couldn’t escape. The might of this strike was far from what he could withstand. It was too terrifying.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, save me!”
Ouyang Xiu could only shout and place all his hope on Lin Jiufeng.
In an instant, Lin Jiufeng soared into the sky like an eagle and directly arrived in front of him. His eyes were like a hawk as he stared at the undead creature and this spear.
The tip of the spear was extremely sharp. It carried with it a power that could tear through everything and was unstoppable.
Even Monk Anan’s expression changed. He wasn’t a match for this skeleton either.
Lin Jiufeng shouted, “Dragon Race’s Great Immortal Technique, Heaven and Earth Seal!”
This was a supreme immortal technique that he had signed in to. It was extremely powerful. Using it at Lin Jiufeng’s current realm, it instantly sealed the land within a few hundred miles.
The spear stabbed in front of Lin Jiufeng, but the space suddenly froze. Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, it instantly blocked the undead creature’s strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The undead creature didn’t give up. Its target was very clear—it wanted to kill Ouyang Xiu.
The bone horse beneath its legs galloped. Together with it, it charged towards Lin Jiufeng’s Great Immortal Technique.
Crack!
The Dragon Race’s Great Immortal Technique lasted less than three seconds before a cracking sound came.
Lin Jiufeng saw cracks appear in the sealed void. Like a mirror, the cracks slowly expanded after being struck.
“Not good, this undead creature has reached the Mystic Immortal Realm!” Monk Anan exclaimed, his scalp turning numb.
He was only at the Perfected Immortal Realm, and facing a Mystic Immortal was too terrifying for him.
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes narrowed. He knew that the Dragon Race’s Great Immortal Technique wouldn’t be able to withstand it for long. He quickly shouted, “The two of you retreat. I’ll deal with it.”
Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan were very obedient. They quickly retreated, not wanting to add to Lin Jiufeng’s trouble.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
In the sealed void, the cracks quickly expanded. The undead creature had no feelings, only a biting killing intent.
It exerted strength together with the warhorse beneath it, wanting to break through the obstruction and kill Ouyang Xiu.
In the very next moment, the void became as fragile as a cracked mirror.
The undead creature exerted strength again.
Crack!
With this, the void shattered and flew in all directions. Each fragment reflected Lin Jiufeng and the undead creature.
Like a kaleidoscope, the fragments reflected countless Lin Jiufeng.
Da da da!
Under this kaleidoscope-like refraction, the undead creature rode a horse and crossed the restriction of space. With a spear in hand, it rushed over with a murderous look on its face.
Every fragment reflected this scene. In Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, it was as if a magnificent army was charging over.
In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng’s face turned cold as he shouted, “Do you think I’m a pushover?”
Lin Jiufeng reached out and grabbed something in the air.
2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.
In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng treated the Perfected Immortal nomological powers as a simple whip and lashed out ruthlessly.
Boom!
The Perfected Immortal nomological powers that were tied together directly whipped the bone warhorse. The huge and deep force directly sent the bone warhorse flying. It collided with a huge mountain together with the undead creature.
Boom!
In an instant, the mountain collapsed, rubble shot into the clouds, and the commotion was huge.
This undead creature at the Mystic Immortal Realm was no match for Lin Jiufeng’s 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.
Even so, this was only Lin Jiufeng’s elementary way of using it. It would be even easier for Lin Jiufeng to deal with Mystic Immortals when he mastered the Perfected Immortal nomological powers to perfection.
The bone warhorse neighed and let out a long roar. The battle armor on its body was directly split open. Many of its ribs were broken, but it seemed to not notice. It directly stood up and glared at Lin Jiufeng. Its hooves stepped on the ground, looking very angry.
“Do you have your own consciousness?” Lin Jiufeng shouted and asked.
The undead creature directly attacked upon seeing them. Lin Jiufeng suspected that this undead creature only knew how to follow its instincts. That was why he asked this question.
Sure enough, as Lin Jiufeng expected, the undead creature didn’t answer him. Instead, it raised its spear and let out a mournful roar.
It spread throughout the entire Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
Lin Jiufeng’s ears perked up. He heard movement in the distance.
From afar to near, it became stronger and stronger.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression became solemn. With the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers in his hand, he stood still and didn’t make a move.
Dong dong dong!
The commotion in the distance became increasingly louder. Even Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu heard it.
It was like something from their dreams coming alive in reality.
An army stepped through the mountains and rivers, bones eerie, cold bone flames burning. They were coming here from a distance. It was extremely terrifying.
A total of 3,000 cavalrymen!
They came crashing down and crushed the mountains. None of them had auras lower than the Perfected Immortal Realm.
Moreover, the person in the lead was carrying a tattered flag.
It was the flag of the Immortal Court.
Ouyang Xiu’s eyes widened as he said with a trembling voice, “This… This is… the army of the Immortal Court!”
He couldn’t understand why an invincible army from the Immortal Court became an army of undead creatures after 20,000 years of guarding the Western Desert.
Monk Anan swallowed his saliva and said in a panic, “How can this be? Under the Buddhist might of the Western Desert, there’s actually such a terrifying army?”
To the people of the Western Desert, an army formed from undead creatures shouldn’t be possible.
Lin Jiufeng said coldly, “Under the illumination of extreme light, the world is bright, but there are always dark places that cannot be illuminated. It is exactly because of the Buddhist charm of the Western Desert that this army can continue to exist here.”
It was obvious that this army had already surrounded Lin Jiufeng. They wanted to kill him.
It wasn’t just Lin Jiufeng. There was also Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan.
Lin Jiufeng observed them in detail. He confirmed that they had long lost their consciousness and were only focused on killing.
As for the skeleton that wanted to kill Ouyang Xiu at the beginning, it was probably the aura of the Immortal Court in Ouyang Xiu’s body that triggered their sense of familiarity.
Hence, they wanted to kill Ouyang Xiu and turn him into their own.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, can you win?” Ouyang Xiu asked cautiously.
If Lin Jiufeng couldn’t defeat them, then they should just run.
In any case, he wasn’t confident in himself.
Monk Anan fell silent. He quickly moved the Buddha beads in his hand. Even though Buddha and Demon were one in him, even though he was also ambitious, in such a situation, he knew that he couldn’t win.
Right now, their only hope was Great Emperor Jiufeng, who was standing there with the colorful Perfected Immortal nomological powers in his hands.
If even Great Emperor Jiufeng had no solution, they could only choose to escape quickly.
Lin Jiufeng frowned and said softly, “In my life, I’ve fought against the heavens and earth and have never tasted defeat. This is the first time I have faced undead creatures. If they want to win through numbers, then they are wrong.”
Lin Jiufeng didn’t retreat. Instead, he took a step forward.
He directly faced this army of undead creatures.
The skeleton that was sent flying by him stood up. Then, with a furious roar, its soul surged and shook the sky. The bone warhorse beneath it ran quickly, and the spear soared through the sky and directly pierced towards Lin Jiufeng.
It didn’t communicate with the army around it.
But when it moved, the other undead creatures began to move too.
All of them attacked aggressively with spears, sabers, bone swords, and the like.
Momentarily, undead creatures filled the mountains and plains, even the void, surrounding Lin Jiufeng.
These undead creatures were all very powerful, none of them were lower than the Perfected Immortal Realm. Even if they didn’t have their own consciousness, they couldn’t be underestimated.
But Lin Jiufeng didn’t care about this. A stone platform appeared behind him.
The General Appointing Platform!
Millions of gods and demons as generals, billions of living beings as soldiers!
Boom!
Lin Jiufeng directly controlled the General Appointing Platform and suppressed the army.
In an instant, the bones were crushed and the soul fires let out wails.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t hesitate. He waved the Perfected Immortal nomological powers. The multicolored nomological powers that numbered as many as 2,999 erupted with a huge brilliance at this moment. They landed and lashed onto the bodies of every undead creature, each of them receiving a strike that seemed to come from a higher dimension.
With Lin Jiufeng’s strength, it would be easy for him to kill those at the Mystic Immortal Realm. These undead creatures were indeed very powerful, but with the nomological powers in one hand and the General Appointing Platform in the other, he had no fear of them.
In this mountain range, Lin Jiufeng whipped out. The colorful Perfected Immortal nomological powers transformed into boiling magma that directly struck an undead creature. It was directly incinerated on the spot, its bones turning into ashes. With a gust of wind, it scattered in the forest.
Even the warhorse beneath it was the same.
They were reduced to ashes together.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression was cold. He directly suppressed the General Appointing Platform down. With a bang, the terrifying impact and incomparable pressure crushed hundreds of undead creatures on the spot.
These undead creatures seemed to be unaware of pain and fear. They continued to swarm towards Lin Jiufeng instead of retreating.
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were cold. He stood on the General Appointing Platform, holding the Perfected Immortal nomological powers in his hand. Then, he injected all of his True Qi into the Perfected Immortal nomological powers.
Rumble!
The nomological powers expanded and lengthened. The colorful lights also transformed into a cold aura, turning the surrounding temperature to that of the North Pole. The extremely low temperature made Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan tremble as they watched in horror.
“At this temperature, I feel like my body has been frozen.” Ouyang Xiu shivered and covered his body, experiencing a long-lost sense of cold.
“Feeling cold on the body isn’t significant. What’s more important is that my soul feels like it’s going to be frozen too. This is an extremely cold temperature that can instantly turn a person into an ice corpse.” Monk Anan constantly moved his divine soul to warm himself up, but it was useless.
Both of them already felt so cold from the outside area. The undead creatures that rushed up towards Lin Jiufeng felt the cold even more deeply.
But they didn’t retreat. They were completely unafraid of Lin Jiufeng and rushed forward together.
But a few hundred meters away from Lin Jiufeng, they were frozen. Their burning soul fires gradually extinguished.
Lin Jiufeng looked at them and directly waved the Perfected Immortal nomological powers in his hand.
At this moment, the Perfected Immortal nomological powers surrounded Lin Jiufeng and launched an indiscriminate attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The undead creatures that encountered Lin Jiufeng’s Perfected Immortal nomological powers were directly whipped into pieces. Even the warhorses beneath them directly vanished into thin air.
This was an extremely shocking scene.
Lin Jiufeng single-handedly slaughtered an army.
An army where the weakest soldier was also a Perfected Immortal.
Moreover, they were undead creatures that didn’t know pain or retreat.
They were nothing before Lin Jiufeng.
Now, they exploded one after another, as if they became the purest beauty in the extremely cold air, turning into flowers after flowers of ‘fireworks’.
Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan were dumbfounded.
The two of them watched without daring to blink, afraid that they would miss out on any exciting scene.
Because the scene before their eyes was magnificent.
Amidst the extreme cold and the suppression of the General Appointing Platform, Lin Jiufeng stood tall and slender, dressed in white. He held the Perfected Immortal nomological powers that had recovered their colors in one hand and looked around indifferently.
The undead creatures exploded one by one. Under the extreme cold, an azure halo circulated around. Under the sunlight, this place was like the snow country in a dreamland.
It intoxicated Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan.
When the last undead creature exploded.
When the ice and snow began to melt and the land gradually became warm.
When Lin Jiufeng put away the General Appointing Platform and the Perfected Immortal nomological powers and flew to the side.
The dreamland-like snow country that existed just a moment ago had become a graveyard filled with bones.
The fallen soul fires, the crushed bones, the shattered mountains, the ancient trees that were affected, and the collapsed earth…
All of this formed the current situation.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng is too powerful.” Ouyang Xiu swallowed, speechless.
“A few days ago, I could still exchange a few moves with Great Emperor Jiufeng.” Monk Anan smiled bitterly. “But now, Great Emperor Jiufeng might be able to kill me with a glance.”
This was too terrifying.
Even though they already knew that Great Emperor Jiufeng would definitely be very powerful after comprehending 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers, their own guesses were incomparable to the scene they saw with their own eyes.
Especially compared to such a shocking achievement by Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng ignored their shock. Instead, he squatted down and picked up a piece of bone that wasn’t completely shattered. He frowned and said, “Why are there undead creatures here? Their bones don’t have any vitality at all. These bones can’t support the powerful strength of an immortal at all.”
Without the burning soul fire, the bone bodies of these undead creatures were completely fragile.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, these are all once very powerful people in the Immortal Court. The weakest among the troops that suppressed the Western Desert back then was at least at the Mystic Immortal Realm,” Ouyang Xiu came to his senses and immediately said.
Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and said, “In other words, after they died and became undead creatures, their cultivation bases had decreased instead.”
“The gap between humans and undead creatures is huge. Naturally, they will lose something after transforming into undead creatures,” Monk Anan said, rotating the Buddha beads.
“An army of 3,000. 3,000 immortals who have reached and surpassed the Mystic Immortal Realm. Why did they all die at once and then become undead creatures?” Lin Jiufeng asked. There were many strange things about this.
“Moreover, after they became undead creatures, they no longer had their own consciousness and became machines that only know how to kill.” This was also why Lin Jiufeng directly destroyed them instead of leaving some people to interrogate.
Undead creatures without self-awareness couldn’t provide any answers at all. It was a waste of time and meaningless to interrogate them.
“There’s something wrong with this Broken Cliff Mountain Range!” Ouyang Xiu pointed at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range and said seriously.
He felt terrible in his heart now.
Although he had already decided to join Great Emperor Jiufeng and live his own life, he was from the Immortal Court after all and still had some feelings for the Immortal Court.
He wasn’t familiar with this army, but the other party was also from the Immortal Court. Now, they had all become undead creatures. They had no feelings and only knew how to kill. Ouyang Xiu still felt a trace of coldness and sorrow in his heart for them.
This was human nature. Facing different situations, one would have different thoughts.
Of course, these were just thoughts. It was impossible to really let Ouyang Xiu help them take revenge.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range and said solemnly, “Most of the undead creatures here have been wiped out. Let’s split up and investigate this Broken Cliff Mountain Range carefully.”
Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan didn’t dare to disagree. They separated from Lin Jiufeng and went in different directions, leaving Lin Jiufeng standing where he was and observing silently.
The fog in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range was abnormal. It was completely different between day and night.
White fog lingered all day long as if it was in heaven.
At night, it became a black fog, accompanied by the clanging of the war swords, the neighing of the horse’s hooves, and the sound of the flag fluttering.
It was as if this place had changed from the mortal world to hell.
This change was very interesting.
Lin Jiufeng advanced in the direction where the undead army had appeared just now.
He had only taken a few steps when a line of words appeared before his eyes.
[Do you wish to Sign in at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range?]
Lin Jiufeng looked around. He didn’t find anything and nodded silently. “Sign in!”
He was quite curious. What could he sign in at this mysterious Broken Cliff Mountain Range?
[Sign-In successful. Received the title of Great Dao Array Master!]
Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled, “What use is this Great Dao Array Master title?”
Originally, he had signed in for the knowledge of array formations, which subsequently helped him a lot.
Under his constant learning and improvement, Lin Jiufeng’s knowledge of array formations had already been raised to a very high level.
Hence, he didn’t understand what the title of Great Dao Array Master meant.
[Wearing the title of Great Dao Array Master allows you to easily see through the veins of the Great Dao of the world and deduce the Great Dao Array Formations!]
This information made Lin Jiufeng understand.
“After the improvement of the array formation to the immortal level, it’s about the same as ordinary array formations. The only big difference is that the array formations used by immortals are imprinted with the Great Dao as the foundation. The traces of the array formations are also traces of the Great Dao. They are completely different from ordinary array formations.” Lin Jiufeng muttered some of his insights to himself.
After understanding it, he was very satisfied with the title of Great Dao Array Master.
Then, he put it on without hesitation.
In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng looked at the mountains, the earth, and the trees. The feeling he had was completely different from before.
“It’s as if someone had covered a curtain in front of my eyes and now it has been lifted. The world has suddenly become incomparably clear. I can see everything.” Lin Jiufeng looked around happily.
As he watched, his expression changed.
At first, he was puzzled. Then, he was shocked. Then, he repeatedly confirmed it until Lin Jiufeng finally came to a tall mountain on the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
He looked around.
“The mountains, rivers, and trees here are all a part of an array formation.” Lin Jiufeng gasped.
“Using the heaven and earth as an array formation, the mountains and rivers as chess pieces, and the plant spirits as important nodes in the array formation, a huge Great Dao Array Formation was set up!” After Lin Jiufeng seriously observed, he came to a terrifying conclusion.
The entire Broken Cliff Mountain Range was an array formation.
This array formation was very unique, something Lin Jiufeng had never seen before.
If he hadn’t signed in the title of Great Dao Array Master, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t have discovered it at all.
Because it was too hidden, no one would think of it.
“But will this Great Dao Array Formation be that simple?” Lin Jiufeng immediately had another question.
Although the Great Dao Array Formation here was very hidden, to be honest, it wasn’t of much use.
At the very least, it wouldn’t turn an army into undead creatures.
Moreover, this army was very powerful, full of existences that were at least at the Mystic Immortal Realm.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Lin Jiufeng began to meditate cross-legged, deducing this Great Dao Array Formation.
With the title of Great Dao Array Master, Lin Jiufeng could roughly deduce out a full array formation from the parts of the array formation that he saw.
Of course, if he received little information, the deductions would also be problematic.
But Lin Jiufeng felt that since the entire Broken Cliff Mountain Range, which wasn’t very large, made up the full array formation, it should be easy for him to deduce its composition and effect.
Lin Jiufeng started deducing confidently.
However…
He miscalculated.
The initial deductions were quite easy.
But…
In the middle stage, just as Lin Jiufeng thought that this array formation had reached its limit and that he was about to deduce out the entire array formation.
In an instant…
The two ends reversed, the kind that changed night to day.
It was only then that Lin Jiufeng discovered that this Great Dao Array Formation was actually just the beginning. Behind it hid a huge, extremely complicated, and even terrifying Great Dao Array Formation.
The clue that Lin Jiufeng received here was useless.
He couldn’t deduce any further.
This made Lin Jiufeng feel helpless.
Time passed, and the night was about to pass.
The day was about to arrive.
Lin Jiufeng gave up on deducing. He sat on the spot and looked down at the mountains.
He was very depressed. He was originally full of confidence, but now, reality ruthlessly overturned Lin Jiufeng’s confidence.
It made him doubt his life.
Right at this moment, Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan returned.
The two of them walked over from two directions. Between the mountains, at the moment between night and day.
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes suddenly lit up. He shouted, “The two of you, stand still.”
Ouyang Xiu, who had just taken a step forward, instantly stood still, not daring to move.
Not far from him was Monk Anan.
The two of them stopped and looked at Lin Jiufeng, who was on the peak of the mountains, puzzled.
They didn’t understand what had happened.
But Lin Jiufeng was in a state of excitement because he discovered that at the intersection of night and day, Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan had perfectly separated this horizon.
The black fog retreated, and the white fog was rising in a rosy glow.
The fog had yet to surround the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
Then, Lin Jiufeng looked at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
He discovered many hidden array formation patterns. Then, using these patterns, he deduced a new Great Dao Array Formation.
“Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation!”
