Chapter 131: Body as the Array, Three Songs of Dead Silence!

A clear voice rang out: “I am here.” Three very beautiful girls floated over the battlefield. The one in front felt ethereal and holy, like a mystery of the Dao.

Zhou Tong smiled and stepped forward to hold Zhang Chu Qiao by the waist as they came together in a natural embrace. She said in a gentle tone full of resolve: “Junior brother, do not be afraid. This time it is sister’s turn to protect you.” He nodded and said with a grin: “Mm… I will be waiting.”

Then Zhang Chu Qiao faced Zhao Wu Tian. Her lovely face turned cold. Enemies meeting only made their anger run hotter. Zhao Wu Tian stared, shocked: “You are still alive!” In his plans, Zhang Chu Qiao should have already lost her life. Even with secret arts to extend it, she should not be standing here, and she had even broken through a realm.

A few onlookers whispered in awe: “No wonder he is a guest elder. He even brought her back from the brink. That is a skill to admire.”

Zhou Tong did not answer. He took out the Evergreen Vine of Ages and said: “Holy Heart, I promised to help you restore your life force. This is just right.” With a flick of his hand, the evergreen vine flew into the hands of Holy Heart, the Devil Sovereign. The little girl beamed with joy and called out: “Thank you, big brother!”

Watching, Zhang Chu Qiao’s smile grew soft. She leaned close to Zhou Tong’s ear and murmured: “Even the little one gets a gift. Do I get nothing?” He said in a warm voice: “Do not worry. I prepared the most precious gift. You will be super happy.” Her eyes lit up at once and she teased: “Is your gift you? If it is, I will be the happiest.” He coughed lightly: “Ahem…”

Zhao Wu Tian roared in rage: “Enough! You dare chatter in front of me. You really do not know death.” He shouted: “Array, start!” The Life Extinguishing Desolation Array sent in more blood energy to repair his body. His aura grew even stronger, almost ready to rise above Half-Saint.

He said with a cruel smile: “Stand there and watch me break through to Saint. Then it will be your death day.”

Zhang Chu Qiao sneered, snapped her fingers, and the array thundered with explosions. The rolling blood energy scattered and lost all control.

Zhao Wu Tian’s face finally showed panic as he shouted: “Impossible. What did you do?” Zhang Chu Qiao said coolly: “I destroyed your array base. Give up.”

At first he did not believe it. That base was unbreakable. How could a few small ants shake it? He was about to mock her when a thought hit him. His face twisted. Other than absolute force, a few special powers could overcome the strong with the soft. For example, Glazed Divine Radiance ignored all defense and dissolved everything. Another was the Power of the Primordial One. Given enough time, even the hardest divine metal could be cut in two. He had fallen into the hands of Zhang Chu Qiao, a bearer of the Yin Yang Dao Physique.

Zhang Chu Qiao said in a level voice: “You have no moves left. Accept judgment.”

Zhao Wu Tian threw his head back and laughed like a madman: “Out of moves… me? Hahaha. Do you know who I am? I am Zhao Wu Tian, the one whose plans never miss, who wins step by step. How could I be out of moves?”

Mad light filled his eyes. He brought both hands up like blades and drove them into his own chest. Blood sprayed. He tore himself open. Everyone sweated cold as lines of light flashed across the inside of his body like a web of Array Arts. He had made himself into the array base.

Cries broke out: “No way. He is that crazy.”

Zhao Wu Tian panted, then stuck out his tongue in a grin as a small copy of the Life Extinguishing Desolation Array appeared over his torn chest, answering the damaged array below. He had refined himself into a part of the great array. He said with a snarl: “So what if you destroyed the base? I will be the base.”

The sky boomed. The Life Extinguishing Desolation Array was mended and released even greater power.

Zhou Tong stared at him and said with true respect: “I really underestimated you.” In his past life, he had personally cut down Zhao Wu Tian. Back then Zhao Wu Tian’s strength almost had no equal, yet he still met a near-Dao powerhouse and died with hate. Compared to that, the Zhao Wu Tian here and now was cruel, clever, and terrifying, a warlord with almost no weak spot. Zhou Tong said under his breath: “You are stronger now.”

Zhao Wu Tian smoothed his hair and bowed with a strange grace, saying: “Thank you for the praise. To show my heart, I invite the guest elder to listen to three songs.” He looked like a practiced musician, but his music score was written with the flesh and blood of countless lives.

He raised his arms and called out: “Hear my first song: all blood returns as offering.” Blood turned into notes that crashed down on the people below. This time even Half-Saints were affected and had their essence blood torn away. Zhao Wu Tian’s aura rose again. He kept playing, drunk on his own power.

He cried: “Hear my second song: all beings offer up talent.” The tune spun fast. It became a song of stripping. White lights flew out of bodies. Many faces grew dull as if the life behind their eyes faded. Cries followed one after another: “What happened to me? Why did I forget our family’s secret art?” “I cannot use my sword. How can that be? I am a Sword Dao heaven’s chosen.”

Zhao Wu Tian spoke in a gentle, false pity: “Do not be sad. Those things are useless to those about to die. Sleep in peace.” Then he raised his killing move and called out: “Hear my final song: souls, return.” Waves of force swept across the Imperial Capital. Commoners and low-level cultivators who had not escaped fell at once. Their souls were pulled from their bodies with ease. Countless spirits wept in the air. They did not scatter. Zhao Wu Tian drew them all into himself.

Qian Miao Yu could not bear it. She yelled: “Stop!” She was about to rush out when Zhou Tong caught her arm and said firmly: “If you go now, you will die for sure.”

With a heavy boom, Zhao Wu Tian broke all shackles and stepped into the realm of Saint. He laughed: “I finally made it.” His eyes were cold as he looked at Zhou Tong and the others like they were ants.

Zhou Tong said in a steady voice: “You absorbed too much energy at once. Your body will soon break apart.”

Zhao Wu Tian spread his arms to show his huge torso and said: “No need to worry yourself. I have fully thrown away the weak human form and gained a perfect body.” He was no longer half human and half devil. Now he had fully turned into the Devil Race.

Zhou Tong finally laughed. Zhao Wu Tian snapped: “What are you laughing at?”

Zhou Tong said lightly: “You think the human body was your weakness, but throwing it away is your biggest flaw. Now the counterattack begins.”
