"Snap!"
"The Cognitive Sea System let out a loud crack under the manipulation of the Grand Universal Art, startling Ding Huan."
He found that one of the stars on his celestial sphere was missing.
Originally, there were twelve small stars around his celestial sphere, but now one is missing, leaving eleven small stars.
Along with the missing star, there are also nine satellites that orbited around it.
Ding Huan quickly understood what happened. The missing star had not disappeared but appeared in another part of the Cognitive Sea.
The star that originally belonged to a planet now seems to have become a star itself, and the nine satellites it took with it have become its planets.
Ding Huan felt the fluctuation of his true qi, and indeed it was stronger by one level compared to before.
This seems to be the way he promotes.
Relieved, Ding Huan doubled down on his cultivation, absorbing spiritual energy with even greater fervor.
Several months passed, just as Ding Huan had predicted, the second planet separated from the primary star and formed a new star system once again.
Is this a star system fission?
However, with each fission, Ding Huan could clearly feel his strength soaring to a new level, and his Cognitive Sea was expanding wildly.
Although he was still in the realm of stars, Ding Huan suspected that his cultivation in mental power could even surpass the realm of true gods and approach the realm of human cultivators.
His strength may be far from comparable to the human realm of immortals, or even the true god realm.
Yet his Grand Universal Art is specifically designed to cultivate the Cognitive Sea and mental power. With each passage of a celestial cycle, his Cognitive Sea expands a bit.
Ding Huan felt that it was necessary for him to develop a unique mental attack technique of his own, just like the previous Huanghua Kill.
He used Huanghua Kill to easily help Liuyinyu kill Shi Jian Tian.
The Huanghua Kill is an auxiliary attack method after all. If he could attack directly with his mental power...
It's like his previous mental blade, which was too low-level and had poor attacking effect.
If there was a mental power ability like his Nine Pathways Dao, who could defend against it?
As Ding Huan was deeply focused on creating a mental power technique, the aura of his Cognitive Sea surged again, and another star separated.
Feeling the expansion of his Cognitive Sea again, and the increase in his mental power, Ding Huan increasingly felt that he needed a mental power technique of his own.
A few snowflakes fell, and Ding Huan looked up at the sky.
This was caused by the heavy intent of the mental power cultivation technique he was striving to create, which condensed snowflakes in this space.
This reminded him of his Qianduixue, the mental power technique does not need to be as systematic as the Nine Pathways Dao, but only needs to be like Qianduixue, carrying an unstoppable intention of killing and wiping out……
Ding Huan's mental power unconsciously condensed into a piece of snow, but before these snowflakes could merge with his killing aura, he furrowed his brow.
Someone is attacking his protective array again, but this time it's not the protective array of the sect, but the protective array of Purple Butterfly Mountain.
His protective array is connected by sensitive arrays, so he can feel the strength of the attack whenever someone tries to breach it.
One after another, the treasures' attacks struck against his protective array, and Ding Huan felt a continuous sound of golden gongs and drums through the sensitive arrays.
Ding Huan's heart stirred, and his mental power gathered into a huge drumstick, which he struck forcefully against the void.
Bang!
The void resounded with a series of tremors, as if it were being torn apart.
A painful sensation surged through Ding Huan's Cognitive Sea, but he paid it no heed. His mental power gathered once again, and this time the drumstick appeared even clearer and more substantial as it struck down.
Bang, bang, bang!
The tremors in the void became even more intense, as if it were being torn apart forcefully.
A blade of mental power, solidified into a substance, fell, bringing everything back to tranquility.
Ding Huan opened his eyes, looking at the unchanged void before him, his heart brimming with excitement.
This is the mental power cultivation technique he had gained. What about the mental power blade? As long as it is used well, one can kill enemies invisibly with a glance.
Just now, he had gathered his mental power into drum sounds and struck out, and then condensed the solid mental power blade and slashed down.
Even in the realm of true gods, they would be hard-pressed to defend against such a mental power attack?
Imagine this scenario, during a battle, your mental power suddenly gets blasted by a ferocious drumstick. Before you can react, another solid blade strikes down……
With such an offensive, what kind of spirit or soul could withstand it?
From now on, this technique will be called "Drum Kill"!
"Thousands of drum sounds arise from the mind, while thousands of souls are slain by the knife."
As long as the mental power is sufficiently strong, the Drum Kill can be a mass-attack mental power technique.
He felt another attack from Purple Butterfly Mountain.
Unlike the last time, when two human realm immortals inadvertently attacked Blue Star Sect's protective array, this time it was a stronger attack.
This time, the attack on Purple Butterfly Mountain was deliberate.
There are quite a few attackers, otherwise his protective array would not be shaking so violently.
Ding Huan lifted his hand, throwing several array flags out. Soon, an image appeared before him.
At least one thousand people were attacking the protective array. Among the attackers, Ding Huan saw a virtual immortal realm cultivator and two spirit realm cultivators.
Hehe, Ding Huan knew without asking who these people were.
They should be from the city of Ziyuan. Since Purple Butterfly Mountain is protected by his array, these guys want to break through his protective array as well.
Since the virtual immortal cultivator did not attack yet, Ding Huan was not in a hurry.
Once these guys break through the first layer of the protective array, they will have plenty to suffer.
As soon as the virtual immortal cultivator makes a move, he will go and meet that virtual immortal immediately.
Ding Huan has confidence in defeating a virtual immortal realm cultivator, although he is not strong enough to face a true god realm cultivator.
Ding Huan did not pay any attention to these people and continued to cultivate while refining his mental power technique, Drum Kill.
...
Purple Butterfly Mountain.
With over a thousand people attacking Ding Huan's protective array simultaneously, even though his protective array was strong, it couldn't withstand such an assault.
Moreover, among these thousand attackers, there was also a virtual immortal cultivator guiding them.
After hours of continuous attack, a 'snap' sound was finally heard.
Lu Yuan laughed heartily:
"Very good, you have broken through the protective array of Purple Butterfly Mountain. Each of you will receive an jade token to enter the trials of Purple Butterfly Mountain..."
According to Lu Yuan's thoughts, he was planning to gather tens of thousands of people to attack the protective array of Purple Butterfly Mountain simultaneously.
However, his appeal was limited, and now the allure of the flight stage far surpassed that of Purple Butterfly Mountain.
Purple Butterfly Mountain is just a targeted trial, but entering the Ascension Realm might just skyrocket one's cultivation.
Therefore, Lu Yuan's call only attracted about a thousand people.
Fortunately, this thousand people also broke through the protective array of Purple Butterfly Mountain.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the space around him change instantly, and then all the people were locked in by a killing aura.
"This is a six-level killing array, run..."
A refined array practitioner at the True Dan realm level recognized the level of the killing array, scaring him so white.
By calling out the level of the protective array, he was hoping that everyone would join together to attack the killing array again, giving him a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, the six-level killing array has already surpassed their ability to defend against it.
There were only about ten or so refining practitioners at the True Dan realm level, while most of the rest were practicing qi jing and foundation establishment.
In just a short time, the space was filled with blood mist, and almost all cultivators who had attacked Purple Butterfly Mountain were drawn into the killing array.
Lu Yuan was originally outside the killing array, and when the killing array was activated, he retreated madly for several tens of zhang, avoiding the impact of the killing array.
One of the True Dan cultivators beside him, however, was engulfed by the killing array and there was no sign of life from him again.
Lu Yuan stared numbly at the peaceful killing array that appeared in such a short time, his forehead sweating cold.
The scene of a thousand people attacking the array just now, seemed like a dream.
Only the smell of blood filling the space reminded those who were still alive that there had indeed been so many people here just moments ago.
Lu Yuan felt as though he had done something wrong.
Wu Changgong dared not continue to covet Purple Butterfly Mountain, even the pressure from Lu Yuan didn't matter to him:
"President, I think our Five Dan Path should withdraw from Purple Butterfly Mountain. This, this..."
As he spoke, he unconsciously retreated a bit, trying to stay as far away from Lu Yuan as possible.
He was only at the spirit realm, while Lu Yuan was a real virtual immortal realm cultivator. If Lu Yuan wanted to kill him, he had no room to resist.
Lu Yuan seemed to have not noticed what Wu Changgong said at all, continuing to stare in shock at the protective array of Purple Butterfly Mountain as it gradually recovered.
Clearly, the reason why the defensive array was broken so quickly was that the person who set up the defensive array had done it intentionally.
Because once the defensive array was broken, those who attacked it would be immediately drawn into the killing array.
They were not drawn into the killing array because they were still at a distance from the defensive array.
As the people attacking the defensive array were killed, Purple Butterfly Mountain's defensive array would certainly activate to repair itself.
Lu Yuan turned his head and discovered that both Qiu Ku Jin and Wu Changgong had already disappeared without a trace.
It seemed that Qiu Ku Jin and Wu Changgong had realized one thing: Ding Huan was not someone to be trifled with.
Even before Ding Huan arrived, he had killed so many.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, regardless of whether Ding Huan was easy to deal with or not, he did not plan to continue provoking Ding Huan at this moment. He would retreat first and then take his time to explain.
It can be confirmed that Ding Huan did not come out because he was waiting for these people to break through the protective array, and then he would kill everyone who was trapped in the killing array.
Now that these people were killed, Ding Huan might be here soon. He is not afraid of Ding Huan, but there is no need to stay here anymore.
As for the fact that these over a thousand pawns were killed—it has nothing to do with Lu Yuan.
"Are you leaving?"
Just as Lu Yuan was about to summon his flight treasure, a sudden voice rang out.
Lu Yuan was startled in his heart, and then he saw a young man in simple clothes holding a long spear, staring at him intently.
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He had been an immortal realm cultivator for some time and yet, he had not noticed the other person's arrival.
"Who are you?" Lu Yuan tried his best to calm down and at the same time, he communicated with his treasure double qian chen through mental power.
Ding Huan took a few steps forward:
"My name is Ding Huan. The protective array you just commanded people to break through was mine to set up."
"Ah, it is Ding Master. I wonder why Ding Master would enclose Purple Butterfly Mountain with protective arrays? This is the place where our Ziyuan City was established."
Lu Yuan pointed to Purple Butterfly Mountain with a calm demeanor. In his heart, he still felt wary, but he was much more composed than he had been before encountering Ding Huan.
Lu Yuan cannot sense Ding Huan's cultivation level, but the aura on Ding Huan's body makes him certain that Ding Huan's cultivation level is not higher than him.
This Ding Huan's strongest ability is probably the six-level killing array. As long as he does not enter the other party's killing array, what can they do to him?
As for the destruction of Shuang Xiong Zong, it is completely unnecessary to care about it.
Shuang Xiong Zong has no even one yuan soul. As long as Ding Huan is at the spirit realm level, coupled with his array technique skills, it's no wonder that he destroyed Shuang Xiong Zong.
If this Ding Huan dares to retreat further away from the killing array around Purple Butterfly Mountain, he will not let him escape.
"I am pleased."
Ding Huan's answer completely caught Lu Yuan off guard, and in Lu Yuan's view, Ding Huan would surely say that Purple Butterfly Mountain belonged to his Lan Xing Zong.
At least he would have given a plausible reason.
If Ding Huan said that, he would immediately bring up the history of Purple Butterfly Mountain and tell Ding Huan who the mountain originally belonged to.
He had never expected Ding Huan to say "I am pleased" and this made him speechless for a moment.
Ding Huan would not indulge him; with a sweep of his hand, the Separation Spear had already conjured up a whirlwind of spear shadows and shot towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was furious in his heart. He had not expected Ding Huan to dare to come at him, even with his cultivation at the spirit realm level. What kind of arrogance is this?
(A request for a month ticket!)
