Chapter 361 - 301: Fusion of Three Grand Arrays! Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven!

"Finally, I’ve achieved Perfection!"

Lin Chang’sheng was quite satisfied; in that instant, a torrent of memories regarding the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array flooded furiously into his mind.

It made him feel as though he understood this array like the back of his hand.

He was now as familiar with every Array Foundation, Hub, and Array Plate as an Array Master who had studied it for centuries.

"This array calls for the suppression of three Nascent Soul Souls? Lucky for me, my Myriad Soul Banner just so happens to be perfect for collecting souls!"

Lin Chang’sheng mused inwardly; this array posed little threat to him.

The only real danger might be the Sea Demons lurking in the ocean.

In the deep sea, even with his Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation, Lin Chang’sheng was unable to unleash his full power.

But the Sea Demons in the deep were a different story; they were completely in their element.

[Detected: Array of Myriad Gods Slaying Immortals (Perfection), Celestial One Turtle Shell Array (Perfection), Three Souls Heaven-locking Array (Perfection). Would you like to fuse them into a new Grand Array?]

Just as Lin Chang’sheng pushed the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array to Perfection, a prompt popped up on his Status Panel.

"Fuse!"

Lin Chang’sheng chose to fuse them without hesitation.

By fusing the three arrays, he could create a far more formidable Array.

The Array of Myriad Gods Slaying Immortals alone could entrap and destroy a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse. After fusion, perhaps even a Void Refining Stage master couldn’t break free.

[Array of Myriad Gods Slaying Immortals (Perfection), Celestial One Turtle Shell Array (Perfection), Three Souls Heaven-locking Array (Perfection) fusion initiated...Fusing...Fusion complete. New Array obtained: Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven!]

"Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven?"

Lin Chang’sheng silently mouthed the words. The previous array could slay immortals; after fusing and becoming able to lock down the heavens, this one was surely a level above in power.

[Detected: Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven. Would you like to spend 15,000 Spirit Stones to Simplify it?]

The prompt popped up again on his Panel.

"Yes!"

Lin Chang’sheng took out 15,000 Spirit Stones, and in an instant, they vanished.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven == Soul Lock!]

"Soul Lock?"

A trace of a smile played across Lin Chang’sheng’s lips. Weren’t Su Changkong and company the most perfect souls for this?

Lin Chang’sheng summoned Su Changkong out once again, and while he was at it, called out Jiang Yuyan and the Celestial Demon Ancestor as well, locking them all up together.

Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven EXP +1!

Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven EXP +1!

...

In the next instant, the EXP for the Array of Myriad Spirits Locking Heaven skyrocketed madly.

Even after Lin Chang’sheng stored them in the Myriad Soul Banner’s space, the EXP never stopped rising.

Then Lin Chang’sheng stopped bothering with them—after all, it wouldn’t be long before this Array, too, reached Perfection.

Inside the Myriad Soul Banner’s space—

"Su Changkong, thanks to you, we’re all in deep trouble. Can’t you say something nice for once and beg for mercy? There’s a saying—in someone else’s house, you have to lower your head, you know!"

Jiang Yuyan cursed furiously, feeling it was Su Changkong’s foul mouth that got them all punished together.

"Yeah! I’m already an old bag of bones, and still have to suffer this kind of torment with you. What a way to live!"

The Celestial Demon Ancestor also complained bitterly, resentment obvious in his tone.

At this moment, poor Su Changkong was practically choking on his own grievances!

"I already tried begging for mercy! But that brat doesn’t care if we beg or threaten—what do you want me to do? Think I’m enjoying this?"

Su Changkong said, his voice dreary with frustration.

But Lin Chang’sheng didn’t give a damn how they felt. Upon entering the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array, he immediately sensed the swirling Yin Qi all around him.

Even the once-clear skies darkened with thick, rolling clouds.

Woooo—

Suddenly, three vengeful souls rose up from atop the three islands, charging straight toward Lin Chang’sheng with stunning speed.

If an ordinary person bumped into this scene, they would likely be scared out of their wits.

But Lin Chang’sheng had already mastered the Soul Capturing Technique; he was unmoved by these spirits. Instead, he simply waved his hand and swept all three souls into the Myriad Soul Banner’s space.

In moments, the gloom-laden sky brightened again, as if nothing had happened.

"If it were anyone else encountering these Nascent Soul Souls, they’d be lucky to walk away alive!"

Never mind how easily Lin Chang’sheng handled them—an average cultivator would have absolutely no way to deal with these spirits.

After all, these souls were trapped inside the Grand Array. Even if someone powerful enough arrived to shatter the spirits,

the spirits would simply reform within the Array, impossible to truly destroy—kill them and they’d just reappear.

The intruder would be worn to death, point blank.

Plop—

After gathering the three great souls, Lin Chang’sheng dove straight into the sea, charging toward the core of the Array at the bottom.

The corpses were right at the heart of the Array.

Once Lin Chang’sheng descended into the abyss, he found the seabed was identical to the scene within the Sheepskin Scroll’s space.

Countless stone pillars jutted skyward from the ocean floor, thick iron chains lay stretched across them, binding corpse after corpse together tightly.

"Judging by their auras, these corpses were all exceptional cultivators! Who could have trapped and slain them all in this place?"

Lin Chang’sheng said in surprise.

Because each corpse chained to the pillars below the sea was, at minimum, a Nascent Soul-level powerhouse.

Before long, Lin Chang’sheng arrived at the very center, beneath a massive stone pillar.

Sure enough, a robust-looking middle-aged man was chained up there. Compared to the old man before, his appearance was strikingly different.

But maybe this was how he looked when he was young. Since his body hadn’t decayed, he’d always maintained that youthful appearance.

Yet his soul would keep aging as Soul Power was consumed, until at last it faded away forever.

Lin Chang’sheng scanned the body with his Divine Sense, discovering that the flesh was incredibly tough—he couldn’t even assess this one’s cultivation level.

But Lin Chang’sheng felt that he must have been above the Divinity Transformation Level.

With a wave, Lin Chang’sheng brought out the Unrivaled Divine Blade, planning to slash the chains binding the body and take the corpse with him.

Clang—

But when the blade hit those chains, all he got was a metallic clanging sound—the mighty Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure couldn’t even scratch them?

This genuinely surprised Lin Chang’sheng.

"So, the chains are indestructible under the Array’s power. Guess I’ll have to destroy the Array first!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.

Based on his understanding of the Three Souls Heaven-locking Array, he began to search for the location of the Array Plate.

Once he destroyed it, the Array would naturally collapse.

Splash—

But as Lin Chang’sheng was searching, the ocean suddenly churned—fierce waves and their shockwaves rapidly swept toward where he was.

"A Sea Demon?"

Lin Chang’sheng instantly became alert. It seemed that the sound of his blade striking the chains had drawn the Sea Demon’s attention.

Soon, a gigantic shadow swam over from the distance, casting a suffocating pressure with its immense size.

As it neared, Lin Chang’sheng realized: this was a monstrous Eight-Clawed Demon Fish.

One of its tentacles was as thick around as an adult man’s waist.

Whoosh—

Spotting Lin Chang’sheng, the Eight-Clawed Demon Fish attacked at once, spraying a glob of inky black water from its mouth and instantly blotting out his vision.

Then those eight massive tentacles shot toward Lin Chang’sheng, ready to wrap him up.

"You wanna die?"

But Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t backing down; with a wave of the Unrivaled Divine Blade in his hand, he struck out in response.

This Sea Demon had only just reached Nascent Soul—it might hold the advantage in its home turf, but taking down Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t be so easy.
