Chapter 655: Suppression

The area around the Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body rippled as he withstood the might of the Immortal Vanquishing Array.
“Numinous Treasure.” Fiend Ancestor looked at the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure. “I have slipped up this time, but it was not because of you, but Qin Yun. I never expected him to attain a perfected Great Dao in just a few thousand years! To attain a perfected Great Dao… is sufficient to make any cultivator ecstatic. They would instantly have their Dharmic powers and Essence Soul break through. The result would stir the Three Realms, but although Qin Yun was ecstatic, he was able to repress his emotions and plot out a scheme against me.”
“Haha, there’s no reason to regret your failure under such circumstances!” Numinous Treasure was rather delighted.
“Yes, I fully admit defeat.” Fiend Ancestor looked coldly into the Huifeng Great World.
In fact…
To Qin Yun, the greatest threat was the Itinerant Immortal tribulations. Transcending them would earn him a carefree eternity with his family.
As for attaining a perfected Great Dao, it only gave his outlook on transcending the tribulations a glimmer of hope. Qin Yun naturally wanted to raise his strength further, which meant making his Intrinsic Flying Sword turn into a Merit Cardinal treasure. By being both a Connate Cardinal treasure and Merit Cardinal treasure, the Misty Rain Sword’s might would reach an even more astounding state. His hopes of surviving the Itinerant Immortal tribulations would be greater.
He was always seeking for hope to transcend the tribulations; therefore, he came up with a plot the moment he broke through!
A second opportunity to plot against the fiends would be rare!

Meanwhile in the Huifeng Great World, the inside of the massive Misty Rain Array was a brand new world of an equally massive size. That world was even in flux.
“You want to kill me?” Patriarch Spirit Devouring looked at the Misty Rain Array with eyes filled with rage. “I, Daoist Wen, have survived to cultivate to this day. I have devoured the disciples of the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure and the Buddhist Ancestor’s Merit Gold Lotus. Many want me dead, but I have lived to this day! Yet, a short-lived Itinerant Immortal like you wishes to kill me?”
Even a rabbit will bite when things turn nasty.
How could a perfected Great Dao expert surrender?
“Hum.” Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s body phased away and shifted into his true form. He was a blood-colored mosquito about 5000 kilometers in size. Its wings were translucent and the moment it shook its wings, it lunged toward the Misty Rain Array’s periphery.
He was the first mosquito born out of the Chaos.
He kept a low profile and enjoyed delivering sneak attacks. Through various fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation of Daoism, Buddhism, and the fiendish ways, he finally forged the Spirit Devouring Dao.
As he charged over, his sharp proboscis which appeared like a needle was actually formed from the combination of six thin needles. They stabbed at the world’s boundary and sucked!
“Rumble!” The Misty Rain Array’s periphery rumbled when it was stabbed. Sword Qi surged but it remained intact.
“Oh?”
While maintaining the Misty Rain Array, and controlling the Misty Rain Sword flashes to destroy the Fiend Ancestor’s array formation, Qin Yun sensed Daoist Wen’s counterattack inside the array. He could not help but prick up his brows. He saw that Daoist Wen had returned to his true form and was frantically attacking different spots in the array formation. Clearly, he was attempting to find the array formation’s weakness.
“As expected of Daoist Wen. If I were still a pinnacle Itinerant Immortal, he would probably have succeeded in cracking my Misty Rain Array with his first attack.” Qin Yun thought. “However, I have long broken through. The Misty Rain Array is the technique I have put in the most effort in. It’s meant to withstand the Itinerant Immortal tribulations, so to think one move could crack it?”
Qin Yun was in no rush.
He even looked forward to finding weaknesses in his array formation through Daoist Wen’s counterattacks.
However, even if there were weaknesses, the array formation produced by his Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure was not something Daoist Wen could crack.
“Obliterate.” Qin Yun looked into the distant land as more than ten Misty Rain Sword beams swept over. Finally, they blew up the ground and dug up an array disk from deep within.
…
While Qin Yun was patiently destroying the Fiend Ancestor’s array formation, he temporarily sent his disciple, Qing Shuang, to the Wei Nation’s capital.
“Qing Shuang, I’ll probably take some time to kill this Daoist Wen. I won’t be able to divert my attention to taking care of you,” said Qin Yun via a voice transmission.
“Master, don’t mind me,” said Qing Shuang immediately.
She stood above the Wei Nation and felt her mind turn adrift.
“Sister Qing Shuang.” A voice sounded as Princess Wei Ran flew to her side.
“Princess Wei Ran,” said Qing Shuang.
“I never expected Daoist Feng to be the legendary Sword Immortal Qin,” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring. “Furthermore, Sword Immortal Qin’s strength has reached an unfathomable state. The fiends have two lineages that are called fiends among fiends—the sea of blood lineage and the spirit-devouring lineage. Now the spirit-devouring lineage’s Patriarch Spirit Devouring is entrapped by Sword Immortal Qin and seems to be in a perilous situation.”
Princess Wei Ran had a strong backer, so she knew much about the important figures in the Three Realms.
Patriarch Spirit Devouring?
That was an existence that the Grand Supreme lineage feared.
“Sword Immortal Qin’s conjuring of the sword array instantly encompassed half a million kilometers, and suppresses an area of the Great World,” Princess Wei Ran marveled. “His strength really knows no bounds.”
Qing Shuang felt rather proud when she heard that since Sword Immortal Qin was her master.
“Congratulations, Sister Qing Shuang, for being a disciple of Sword Immortal Qin.” Princess Wei Ran smiled. “Your future will be limitless.”
“I never expected this either. Master had been kind back then to save my life and impart to me his sword arts,” Qing Shuang said. Following that, she turned to smile at Princess Wei Ran. “Princess Wei Ran, perhaps all the mighty figures in the Huifeng Great World are aware of Master’s identity. Master has decided on the Wei Nation’s future, so I’m guessing that no one will dare interfere with his decision.”
Princess Wei Ran nodded with a smile.
She was previously worried, worried about the Black Wind Fiend Sect and the other fiendish factions. Now, she was worriless.
Sword Immortal Qin’s words were no doubt enough to shock and awe.

Moments later.
Qin Yun uprooted the entirety of the Fiend Ancestor’s array formation. Without the array formation’s influence, the Misty Rain domain’s might was no longer hindered as it began to bind Patriarch Spirit Devouring.
“Why is this domain so powerful?” Patriarch Spirit Devouring felt that even flapping his wings was tiring. With the endless bindings and repression, he could only produce a portion of his strength. However, his sharp proboscis did not fall in strength. It stabbed at the Misty Rain Array world in an attempt to penetrate it.
“Daoist Wen, I’ve allowed you so many attempts. It’s time for me to attack,” Qin Yun said. “Tornado.”
“Whoosh~”
The Misty Rain Array world seemed to usher in the apocalypse as countless Sword Qi transformed into violent winds that swept through the world within. Every spot was ground to dust.
Patriarch Spirit Devouring was also caught in the middle of the Sword Qi tornadoes as they continually battered him.
“Darn it.” Patriarch Spirit Devouring surroundings naturally turned into a black hole vortex. He crazily devoured all the Sword Qi tornadoes that came at him, but there were just too many of them. Soon, they flooded the black hole vortex and began assaulting his body.
His body was fine except his abdomen, which began showing signs of damage from the lacerations, but the wounds also rapidly healed.
“Suppress!” Qin Yun cast another move of this Misty Rain Array.
The tornadoes in the Misty Rain Array world dissipated as black clouds appeared in the sky. They were formed from billions of Sword Qi as the cloud took on the form of a palm.
Boom!
The palm came swatting down.
With Heaven, Earth, and Man as one, the entire world’s powers were directed into that suppressive swat.
Patriarch Spirit Devouring had nowhere to hide, so all he could do was fend it off directly. As his wings flapped, black hole vortices appeared around him.
“Bam!”
When the dark cloud palm formed out of the billion Sword Qi swatted down, Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s body was smashed flat as purple blood spewed out from his mouth. However, his body rapidly recovered.
“You won’t be able to kill me. You won’t!” Patriarch Spirit Devouring looked up and glared at the gigantic black cloud palm.
“Seven Star Vanquishment!”
Qin Yun had already infused the Seven Stars Great Dao into his Sword Dao.
In the Misty Rain Array world, seven stars appeared in the shape of the Big Dipper.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The stars crashed towards Patriarch Spirit Devouring.
The first star’s might was about thirty percent of the previous black cloud palm strike, but with seven consecutive stars, they connected into a combo, each being stronger than the other.
The barrage of attacks caused Patriarch Spirit Devouring to wrap his wings around him to protect his body while withstanding the blows with great difficulty.
The stars crashed down with an apocalyptic rage, causing Patriarch Spirit Devouring to spew out blood three times from the seven blows. His eyes were filled with insanity as he looked up and let out a jarring roar. “Qin Yun, you won’t be able to kill me. You won’t!”
The mighty figures of the Three Realms were all watching this scene.
Upon seeing Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s hysteria, many fiends felt a sadness for the loss of their kind. When they thought about how Qin Yun abhorred evil and would eventually come for them, their hearts palpitated in fear. “This Qin Yun will not transcend his Itinerant Immortal tribulations. He will definitely die.” If Qin Yun were to really transcend his Itinerant Immortal tribulations, the fiends would have a bleak future ahead of them.
“You sure cultivated your body well. You are even able to withstand the Seven Stars Vanquishment,” Qin Yun nodded and said. “From the looks of it, I still have to rely on the array formation refined by Master. Fiend Annihilation Array, arise!”
Every corner of the Huifeng Great World quaked.
Simultaneously, black chains condensed from the void. A total of thirty-six black chains extended over from every corner of the Huifeng Great World, tearing through the firmaments. Each of them bound Patriarch Spirit Devouring, who was already barely holding up from the Misty Rain Array’s suppression. He had no way to dodge.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The thirty-six black chains bound Patriarch Spirit Devouring, locking down the five-thousand-kilometer wide mosquito.
