Chapter 28 The Innate Dark Array (Two chapters combined, please add to your favorites and continue reading)

As the sound rang out, Zhen Yuanzi stepped out, his body radiating divine light. A huge golden wheel of merit hung high above him, with wisps of merit-based Xuanhuang energy hanging down. Together with the innate Yin-Yang divine diagram in the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit, it firmly blocked the earthly evil energy and Yin-Yang true fire in the formation.

When Dongwanggong saw that it was Zhen Yuanzi who came out, he felt relieved and reminded him, "Fellow Daoist, be very careful of the Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi and Yinming True Fire. These two things can suppress the three flowers of our primordial spirit."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am protected by the Golden Wheel of Merit." Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly, pointed at the huge Golden Wheel of Merit, and countless streams of Xuanhuang Qi of merit fell down, dissolving the surrounding earthly evil Qi.

"The aura of merit and virtue!" Dong Wanggong was startled.

After millions of years, Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation and supernatural powers have become even more extraordinary, and he has even condensed a golden wheel of merit.

This Golden Wheel of Merit is formed from the condensed energy of merit and virtue. It is not only a symbol of those who have performed great deeds, but also a protective shield that can subdue any evil spirits, including the turbid energy of the earth.

"The Golden Wheel of Merit!" Cui Wei's eyes narrowed, as if he were somewhat wary.

Then, he sneered and said, "This item can indeed suppress the turbid energy of the earth, but how much merit and profound energy do you possess?"

The Golden Wheel of Merit is different from the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.

The merit and virtue energy contained in the Golden Wheel of Merit is not inexhaustible, while the Innate Dark Array can connect to the Nine Netherworlds and draw in boundless turbid earth energy.

Over time, Zhen Yuanzi's Golden Wheel of Merit will inevitably exhaust the power of the Xuanhuang Qi of Merit.

Moreover, the essence of merit and virtue is extremely precious.

Even Zhen Yuanzi felt a pang of heartache at the thought of such a drain on resources.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, withdrew his Golden Wheel of Merit, and said, "Since this humble Daoist dares to enter the great formation, I naturally have the means to suppress the turbid earthly energy."

Before the words had even finished, a ray of spiritual light suddenly burst forth from Zhen Yuanzi's three primordial spirit flowers, transforming in the air into a treasure mirror of heaven and earth, which was none other than the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book.

The next moment, the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, shone with divine light, and Zhen Yuanzi uttered a soft shout: "Earthly Fiend Qi, condense!"

Countless streams of turbid earth energy within the grand formation frantically converged towards the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, in the air, seemingly merging into it.

"What?" Cui Wei was shocked. He knew that the Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi was most effective at suppressing a cultivator's primordial spirit, three flowers, and innate spiritual treasures. Any trace of it was difficult to remove.

However, the innate spiritual treasure that the Taoist priest had offered up was not afraid of the earthly evil energy, but instead seemed to be subtly absorbed by it.

This innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, is formed from the earth's membrane and shares the same origin as the earth's turbid energy, so it is naturally not afraid of being eroded by the earth's turbid energy.

"Haha, what a wonderful magical treasure." Dongwanggong saw that the innate magical treasure that Zhenyuanzi had offered up was not afraid of the earthly evil qi, but instead collected the earthly evil qi in the formation, causing the Yinming True Fire to gradually dim.

Dongwanggong couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Cuiwei, you shall try my innate pure yang divine light and innate pure yang sword energy."

The Eastern King held a primordial pure yang sword in his hand, his body radiating primordial pure yang divine light, and headed straight for Cuiwei.

Cui Wei's expression was icy, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He coldly shouted, "This innate dark array can connect to the Nine Netherworlds, drawing in endless earthly evil energy. Let's see how much of your innate spiritual treasure you can collect."

After speaking, Cui Wei formed a strange hand seal and chanted incantations. Several dark divine lights shot out from the three flowers of his primordial spirit and fell into the great formation. Instantly, the earthly evil qi in the formation surged and spread again, and the Yinming True Fire also became more vigorous.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, in the air and softly shouted, "Fall!"

The innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, descended from the sky as a curtain of light, like a membrane of the earth, separating the innate dark array from the Nine Netherworld. The turbid earth energy within the array showed a faint tendency to dissipate.

"The Earth Membrane!" Cui Wei recognized the origin of the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, and his expression changed drastically.

This innate dark array can connect to the Nine Netherworlds, so the turbid earth energy and Yin Netherworld True Fire within the array can continuously flow out.

However, the earth's membrane can isolate the innate dark array from the Nine Netherworld, directly reducing the array's mystery by more than half.

Seeing Cui Wei's expression change drastically, Dong Wanggong couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if he had finally released all the pent-up anger he had been holding in for some time.

Almost simultaneously, the Eastern King Duke stepped out with the Heavenly Dipper Steps, chanting incantations: "Heaven and earth are vast and boundless, pure Yang returns to one, the sword sweeps away all demons!"

The Eastern King Duke almost merged with the Primordial Pure Yang Sword, becoming one with the sword, and fell towards the towering peak.

Wherever it passed, sword light soared into the sky, and innate pure yang sword energy overflowed. When the Nine Nether Qi in the formation met the sword energy, it turned into clusters of light and disappeared.

"Stop your arrogance!"

Cui Wei roared, pointing a finger at the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit, which emitted a dark, eerie light. He uttered a soft cry: "Dark, evil light, obscuring the sun and moon!"

Cui Wei seemed to transform into a dark radiance, rushing towards Dong Wang Gong and colliding with the Innate Pure Yang Sword. A loud boom erupted, and the Innate Pure Yang Sword flew backward, revealing Dong Wang Gong's figure.

"You think you can kill me, Lord Dongwang?"

"That's wishful thinking." Cui Wei's face was slightly pale, clearly from being injured by the Eastern King Duke's Innate Pure Yang Sword.

Dong Wanggong was also not feeling well; his face was pale, and even his innate pure yang sword looked somewhat dull.

"Fellow Daoist, have you perhaps forgotten me?" Zhen Yuanzi said without further ado, unleashing the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire, which spread throughout the formation, burning away the Yin-Yang True Fire and Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi within it.

In an instant, the remaining Yin-Yang True Fire and Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi in the formation were almost completely burned away by the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

At the same time, countless screams rang out from within the formation, and it was unknown how many members of the Netherworld Demonic Cult were burned to ashes by the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

"The Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire!"

Cui Wei was suddenly startled and thought to himself in alarm, "This is bad. This Taoist is very strange. He not only possesses the Golden Wheel of Merit and the Earth Membrane, but also can isolate himself from the turbid energy of the earth."

"At this moment, he even unleashed another Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire, using the extremely domineering Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire to burn the great formation. If this continues, I'm afraid the Primordial Dark Formation won't last much longer."

The Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire can burn and incinerate anything; it is extremely domineering.

Moreover, the turbid earth energy in the innate dark array was isolated by the innate spiritual treasure Earth Book, and the Yin Nether True Fire was like a rootless duckweed, unable to resist the innate Yin-Yang True Fire at all.

That wasn't the end of it. The Innate Yin-Yang True Fire had just landed, before Cui Wei and the Netherworld Demon Sect members could react...

A divine light suddenly appeared above the great formation, revealing a yin-yang diagram with innate yin-yang and five elements transformations, generating countless innate yin-yang divine lights, causing continuous rumbling sounds within the formation.

Among them, beams of innate Yin-Yang divine light shot into the sky, seemingly trying to break free from the innate dark array.

"How dare you do this!" Cui Wei's eyes reddened, and he wanted to step forward to stop Zhen Yuanzi, not wanting the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire and the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light to continue to stir things up.

"Cui Wei, have you forgotten me?" Dong Wanggong snorted coldly, once again summoning the Innate Pure Yang Sword and the Innate Pure Yang Divine Light, and once again engaged Cui Wei in battle.

Instead of attacking Cui Wei, Zhen Yuanzi unfolded the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram and continued to stir the formation with the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light. Every time the Yin-Yang light turned, the Innate Dark Formation would shake.

The booming sound was deafening.

It was as if the sky and earth were spinning, and the earth was turning over.

The remaining members of the Netherworld Demonic Cult within the Primordial Dark Array would experience a sudden darkness before their eyes, a trembling sensation throughout their bodies, and the dissipation of their primordial spirits whenever the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Light descended, almost resulting in their death.

In a short time, almost all the Netherworld Demon Sect members in the Innate Dark Array were killed or injured. They were either burned to ashes by the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire or were shaken to death by the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light.

Cui Wei, who was in charge of the formation, was also having a hard time. He had to fight with the Eastern King Duke while also managing the formation. Distracted, he was repeatedly struck by the Eastern King Duke wielding the Innate Pure Yang Sword and roared in anger.

"Don't be so smug. I have already notified the most powerful figures in the sect to come and help. They will kill you all here."

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, no need for further words. Just watch how this humble Daoist breaks your grand formation!" Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, and a towering tree appeared above his three primordial spirit flowers. It was none other than the innate Jia wood spiritual root ginseng fruit tree.

Countless innate wood energy emanated from the ginseng fruit tree, falling into the innate Yin-Yang True Fire. The fire suddenly intensified by more than three times, and a crackling sound came from within the formation.

It's like a red-hot stone slab gradually cracking.

Cui Wei was fully aware of the anomalies within the Innate Dark Array.

However, the Eastern King Duke possessed innate pure Yang Daoist techniques and an innate pure Yang sword, making him unparalleled in killing. This was precisely what could counter Cui Wei's Daoist techniques and supernatural powers, leaving him no room for distraction.

For a moment, Cui Wei couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

However, the sounds of shattering within the Primordial Dark Array increased, and the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Diagram suddenly soared into the sky, transforming into a beam of Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Light that directly broke out of the Primordial Dark Array.

Cui Wei, who was fighting with the Eastern King Duke, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned as white as paper, completely bloodless, and his divine light dimmed. He thought to himself, "This is bad!"

"Well done!" As soon as the innate dark array was broken, Dongwanggong roared to the sky and spat out a mouthful of blood at the innate pure yang sword. The innate pure yang Daoist magic around him manifested, and his whole body merged with the innate pure yang sword, transforming into streams of innate pure yang sword energy.

Cui Wei was shocked by the breaking of the Innate Dark Array when he suddenly felt countless Innate Pure Yang Sword Qi rushing towards him. His primordial spirit swayed and became unstable. Looking up, he saw that Dong Wang Gong had once again merged with his sword and unleashed countless Innate Pure Yang Sword Qi that rushed towards him.

Just as countless innate pure Yang sword energies were about to fall, a cold laugh suddenly rang out from the void, "Cui Wei, so you've finally fallen into such a sorry state?"

As the sound rang out, a burst of azure flames and a ninth-grade innate black lotus appeared out of thin air, forcefully blocking the countless innate pure yang sword energies and the Eastern King Duke.

"Mingjiao!" Cui Wei was indeed in a terrible state, with his hair disheveled, his clothes torn, and his body covered in injuries.

"Enough with the nonsense." Reaching him, the Mingjiao grabbed Cui Wei and vanished in a flash of light, leaving only Cui Wei's furious roar behind.

"I will fight you to the death!"

Cui Wei's scheming over the past few centuries not only ended in vain, but also resulted in the deaths and injuries of countless followers, and he almost perished under the innate pure yang sword of the Eastern King Duke.

He was truly in a sorry state.

[Throughout the primordial era, the Netherworld Demonic Cult besieged the Pure Yang Grotto Heaven of Qingyuan Mountain, causing countless primordial beings to perish and their cultivation to vanish. You successfully escaped this calamity and have been rewarded with: Netherworld Qi.]

As the sound rang out, the remaining Netherworld Qi in Qingyuan Mountain gradually gathered together and was collected by Zhen Yuanzi with a wave of his sleeve.

"A ninth-grade innate black lotus!" Zhen Yuanzi's gaze sharpened.

Within the azure flames that the dragon-taming beast had just unleashed, there was a faint glimpse of a ninth-grade innate black lotus.

It is clear that his guess was correct; the Netherworld Demonic Cult was indeed related to the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"Many thanks to you for coming to my rescue, fellow Daoist." Dongwanggong bowed deeply to Zhenyuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist, why the need for such formality!" Zhen Yuanzi quickly reached out to help Dong Wanggong up, saying, "Besides, I came here today to inquire about the Netherworld Demonic Sect."

"Regardless of why you have come, I must thank you," said Dong Gongwang with utmost sincerity. "If it weren't for your rescue, I fear my disciples and I would be in grave danger."

"As for the Netherworld Demonic Sect!" Dongwanggong pointed to Chunyang Cave and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you come to my Chunyang Cave for a chat first, and then we can discuss the Netherworld Demonic Sect in detail."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile and followed Dong Wanggong into Chunyang Cave.

Upon arriving at Chunyang Cave, Zhen Yuanzi clearly felt that the innate pure yang energy had become extremely thin, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover.

The two arrived at a palace and sat down at their respective tables.

"Speaking of this matter, we still need your help, fellow Daoist, to completely eradicate this Netherworld Demonic Cult." The Eastern King Duke's expression was grave.

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed.

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile.

Then, the Eastern King Duke spoke about the Netherworld Demonic Sect, saying, "I don't know the specific origins of the Netherworld Demonic Sect. I only know that there are four great supernatural beings in this sect who occupy the Nine Netherworlds. They appeared in the prehistoric world more than a thousand years ago, stirring up trouble everywhere and secretly killing many fellow cultivators."

"That Cui Wei is one of the great supernatural beings, whose cultivation and supernatural abilities are almost no less than mine."

Cui Wei and Dong Wanggong were only roughly equal in cultivation. Cui Wei was only able to restrain Dong Wanggong's innate pure Yang Daoist techniques by relying on the Innate Dark Array, Yinming True Fire, and Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi.

"And that dragon-like creature from earlier must also be one of them," said the Eastern King Duke, his tone somewhat somber.

"Therefore, if we want to eradicate the Netherworld Demonic Sect, we must invite several more powerful individuals to go with us."

"What you say is quite right, fellow Daoist," Zhen Yuanzi agreed.

Since this concerns all the disciples and followers of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, it is no exaggeration to attach great importance to it.
