Born into the Emperor Clan, Qin Wuyou lacked many things, but knowledge was not one of them.
He had no shortage of emperor-rank arrays stored in his mind.
He knew at least several hundred saint-rank arrays.
As for heaven-rank arrays, they were as numerous as hairs on an ox.
An earth-rank array like the one before him, formed only by combining seven great killing arrays, truly failed to catch his eye.
An earth-rank array was certainly astonishing within the Lower Realm.
Especially for a minor sect like the Seven Kills Hall, assembling an earth-rank array already meant bringing every ounce of its strength to bear.
With this earth-rank array protecting them, even a Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator could do nothing to the Seven Kills Hall.
Yet Qin Wuyou had actually mocked the Seven Kills Hall's Earth-Rank Killing Array.
The instant they heard his words, everyone in the Seven Kills Hall nearly spat blood in fury.
The Seven Kills Hall's Deputy Hall Master was so angry that his nose nearly twisted out of shape.
"Qin Wuyou, what big talk! Since you think so little of this Earth-Rank Killing Array, breaking it should be no problem for you, should it?"
"If you've got the guts, step inside! Let's see just how capable you are, and whether you can break my Earth-Rank Killing Array!"
As the Seven Kills Hall Master's voice faded, the surrounding cultivators watching the spectacle recovered from their shock.
Watching Qin Wuyou, who had already approached the Earth-Rank Killing Array, everyone grew intensely excited.
"Hiss! Qin Wuyou really is arrogant! An Earth-Rank Killing Array can even slay Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators. He's only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he actually looks down on an earth-rank array!"
"He talks so arrogantly. He'd better not get so frightened that he doesn't even dare enter the array. If that happens, he'll be utterly humiliated."
"I don't think that'll happen, will it? Qin Wuyou may only be in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the strength he unleashed when he broke that killing array earlier rivaled a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator's! Perhaps he really does have a way to break the Seven Kills Hall's Earth-Rank Killing Array. After all, it's only an earth-rank array, nowhere near invincible!"
"A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator breaking an earth-rank array, and a killing array at that, the most terrifying kind of all? Are you out of your minds? Even if Qin Wuyou were a reincarnated Great Golden Immortal, I wouldn't believe he could break an earth-rank array in the Foundation Establishment Realm! If he breaks it, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball!"
"Qin Wuyou does have strength. Unfortunately, his cultivation is too low, only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he had Primordial Spirit Realm cultivation, I might believe he could break this Earth-Rank Killing Array. But now? Only if a miracle happens!"
As the cultivators debated, Qin Wuyou moved.
"An Earth-Rank Killing Array? Heh... only your Seven Kills Hall would treasure garbage like this!"
The instant his words fell, ten thousand rays of light suddenly surged from behind Qin Wuyou.
Amid that towering radiance, an enormous furnace appeared, blotting out the sky and sun.
It was the Heaven and Earth Furnace!
After his strength recovered to the Tenth Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Heaven and Earth Furnace had grown countless times larger as well.
Now that he had unleashed it, the Heaven and Earth Furnace stood ten thousand zhang tall, pressing down upon the Seven Kills Hall's Earth-Rank Killing Array like a mountain.
The killing array formed by more than a hundred people looked utterly insignificant beneath the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"Hiss! What's that? A divine weapon? I never expected Qin Wuyou to bring out a divine weapon to counter them!"
The moment the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared, every cultivator was stunned.
Countless gazes turned toward the enormous, ten-thousand-zhang Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Radiating sky-filling light, the Heaven and Earth Furnace thundered down, its mouth facing downward.
In an instant, the entire Earth-Rank Killing Array was enveloped beneath it.
The Seven Kills Hall assassins forming the killing array had made every preparation and were simply waiting for Qin Wuyou to enter.
But they had never imagined that Qin Wuyou would not enter the array at all.
Instead, he had unleashed such a terrifying divine weapon outright, enveloping every one of them beneath it.
Looking at the Heaven and Earth Furnace that seemed about to slam down over them, the Seven Kills Hall disciples were all dumbstruck.
"Fuck! This guy isn't playing by the rules!"
For a moment, the Seven Kills Hall disciples fell into panic.
The Earth-Rank Killing Array they controlled also fell out of formation.
"Maintain the array!"
"Anyone who moves out of position will be killed without mercy!"
Just then, a Purple Mansion Realm assassin suddenly roared.
He was an Elder of the Seven Kills Hall, with late-stage Purple Mansion Realm strength.
He was also one of the principal focal points of this Earth-Rank Killing Array.
As his voice rang out, the panicking Seven Kills Hall disciples immediately quieted down.
Though their faces were still filled with terror and shock, they no longer dared move recklessly and obediently held their positions in the array.
Seeing the Purple Mansion Realm Elder stabilize the situation in an instant, the Seven Kills Hall's Deputy Hall Master revealed a satisfied smile.
"Don't panic!"
"It's nothing more than a divine weapon! Combine the array's power and break it!"
The Seven Kills Hall's Deputy Hall Master roared, making the eyes of the disciples inside the killing array light up.
"That's right! It's just a divine weapon. Combine the array's power and smash it!"
"Our array is an Earth-Rank Killing Array! It can kill people, so what's a mere weapon?"
"Combine the array's power and smash it!"
In an instant, the Earth-Rank Killing Array erupted with light that shot into the sky.
Killing intent, almost solid enough to touch, condensed into a thousand-zhang blood saber that slashed toward the Heaven and Earth Furnace!
This was the Earth-Rank Killing Array's strongest killing move. Its power rivaled a divine ability and could cut down even a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator outright.
What chance did a weapon stand?
The Seven Kills Hall disciples operating the killing array roared in unison, waiting for the blood saber, its killing intent soaring into the sky, to brutally cleave open and shatter the divine weapon hanging mouth-down above their heads!
Yet the moment the enormous thousand-zhang blood saber reached the Heaven and Earth Furnace, an incredible sight unfolded!
There was no earth-shaking collision, no scene of world-destroying devastation, nor even a thunderous boom.
The instant the thousand-zhang blood saber rushed toward the Heaven and Earth Furnace, streams of flame suddenly emerged from within the furnace, swallowing the blood saber and its overwhelming destructive power in an instant.
This sudden sight shook everyone to their core!
Looking at the Samadhi Divine Flame emerging from the Heaven and Earth Furnace, everyone stood frozen like wooden chickens.
No one could believe that the Earth-Rank Killing Array's strongest killing move had vanished so silently.
"Fuck! Were my fucking eyes playing tricks on me?"
The instant they recovered, everyone cried out involuntarily.
They even wondered whether they had just hallucinated.
Still less could they understand how that ten-thousand-zhang blood saber, with its sky-piercing killing intent, could suddenly disappear.
Even the cultivators far away on the mountaintop felt this way, so how could the Seven Kills Hall disciples inside the array feel any differently?
The killing move they had poured all their strength into activating had failed to stir even the slightest ripple.
Even they wondered whether they were hallucinating.
Or had they never unleashed the array's killing move in the first place?
"Hiss! This young man is unstoppable!"
Inside the array, the only one who still kept a clear head was the late-stage Purple Mansion Realm Seven Kills Hall Elder.
The moment he saw the ten-thousand-zhang blood saber swallowed, he seemed to have already glimpsed the outcome of this battle.
So while the other Seven Kills Hall disciples were still standing dazed, he was already preparing to flee.
But before he could move, an icy, imperious voice rang out.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine them!"
The next instant.
The enormous, ten-thousand-zhang Heaven and Earth Furnace slammed down completely, trapping every Seven Kills Hall disciple inside.
"That's... Qin Wuyou!"
The instant all the light vanished, the Purple Mansion Realm Seven Kills Hall Elder closed his eyes in despair.
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind: It's... all over!
Every last one of them, all these Seven Kills Hall assassins, was finished.
