Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 378: Chapter 376: Yellow Sea Array

Jiang Chen observed Master Niu’s Array.

He made no move for a long time.

He naturally didn’t dare to be arrogant; it was always best to be cautious.

Finally, after observing for a while, he suddenly smiled faintly.

’The array Master Niu set up is the Yellow Sea Array. It won’t be difficult to break.’

He had identified Master Niu’s Array just by observing from the outside.

The Yellow Sea Array was ancient, inspired by the legendary, heaven-storming waves of the Yellow Sea.

A great master of old created the Yellow Sea Array after observing these very waves.

This Yellow Sea Array was a Killing Array.

In other words, anyone who entered the Yellow Sea Array with insufficient Cultivation would be slain by the Array if they couldn’t break it.

Killing Arrays, by their very nature, were designed to kill.

And this Yellow Sea Array, one of Master Niu’s own Killing Arrays, was intended to annihilate Jiang Chen.

Even if it failed to kill Jiang Chen, it would surely put him through a terrible ordeal.

’Heh. Since I recognize this array, I can surely find a way to turn this peril into a blessing.’

Jiang Chen turned and entered the Yellow Sea Array.

The moment he entered the Array, Jiang Chen vanished from everyone’s sight.

As for Jiang Chen, he now found himself in the middle of a vast, churning sea.

The water here was yellow, hence its common name: the Yellow Sea.

A grand Array was a world unto itself.

Inside the Yellow Sea Array, the sky was a vast expanse of azure.

But in the very instant Jiang Chen entered the Yellow Sea Array, the entire sky changed color.

Dark clouds blotted out the sky.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

At the same time, a fierce gale abruptly swept across the sea.

’Fierce winds rise, and waves appear. The greatest power of the Yellow Sea Array is its waves; even a Martial King Expert could be smashed to death by them.’

Jiang Chen understood this, his mind racing.

Sure enough, the next moment, the gale churned the Yellow Sea. The ocean howled as massive waves rolled forth.

RUMBLE...

Endless waves rolled in, crashing down fiercely upon Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, standing in the middle of the ocean, looked lonely, helpless, and incredibly small.

He watched the crashing waves. They were hundreds of yards high and unbelievably ferocious.

Even a Martial King Expert would be smashed to pieces by them.

’I have to break this Array quickly. I can’t possibly face these waves head-on.’

With this clear in his mind, Jiang Chen’s eyes scanned his surroundings.

He was familiar with the Yellow Sea Array, but breaking it would still take some time.

Just as the waves came crashing down, he quickly scanned his surroundings.

’To break the Yellow Sea Array, I must destroy its core and its foundations.’

’The core is the Sea Heart.’

’The foundations are the dark clouds, and the sun hidden behind them.’

’No, and also those few Fierce Fish riding the waves in the sea.’

In an instant, Jiang Chen saw how to break the Yellow Sea Array.

As the waves crashed toward him, the Cloud Mist Sword appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

He went against the current, slashing viciously at the few Fierce Fish within the waves.

It was impossible for Fierce Fish like these to exist within the waves, so this had to be the flaw. Jiang Chen had spotted it at a glance.

BOOM!

The terrifying force of the wave slammed viciously into Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s entire body trembled violently.

His chest ached, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

However, he used the force of the blow to draw closer to the Fierce Fish.

"Slash!"

The Cloud Mist Sword slashed viciously toward the Fierce Fish.

SHLICK! SHLICK! SHLICK!

With the sound of tearing flesh, Jiang Chen instantly sliced the Fierce Fish in two.

They died in the great sea.

HUMMMMM...

As Jiang Chen slew the Fierce Fish, the entire Yellow Sea Array trembled violently.

The waves instantly subsided.

But the gale did not cease, and the next moment, it once again stirred the sea into waves.

The waves surged toward the heavens.

A glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

He quickly found his bearing and charged toward the waves.

To break the foundations, he needed to shatter the clouds and destroy the sun in the sky.

Finally, by annihilating the Sea Heart, the Yellow Sea Array could be broken.

Thus, after slaying the Fierce Fish, Jiang Chen rode the waves upward, letting them carry him straight toward the sky.

SWOOSH!

He slashed out with his sword once more.

Instantly, his strike tore a rift through the clouds in the sky.

Soon, the clouds receded, revealing the blue sky.

Only the fiery sun remained in the sky.

Another foundation was broken.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. Standing on the crest of a wave, he rode the wind and soared into the sky.

He looked like a warrior, Cloud Mist Sword in hand.

"Slash!"

As he neared the sun, the Cloud Mist Sword in Jiang Chen’s hand condensed a brilliant Sword Aura, which he slashed viciously toward the fiery orb.

POP!

The sun shattered on impact, exploding over the sea.

The third foundation was broken.

Jiang Chen rode the receding wave back down into the sea.

He plunged into the water.

His eyes were like torches as he searched for the Sea Heart.

Once he destroyed the Sea Heart, the Yellow Sea Array would break, and he would reappear on the outside.

So, the only trouble now was finding the Sea Heart.

But he had no idea where Master Niu had hidden it.

Searching for the Sea Heart in this vast ocean was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now that he had broken the power of the waves, the Yellow Sea Array had transformed from a Killing Array into a confinement array.

If he couldn’t find and destroy the Sea Heart, he would remain trapped.

As Jiang Chen was searching, a whirlpool suddenly materialized in the water before him.

Jiang Chen’s gaze sharpened.

’The Sea Heart... Could it be the whirlpool?’

Without a second thought, he shot toward the whirlpool.

As he neared the whirlpool, he struck again with the Cloud Mist Sword.

POP!

The whirlpool instantly dispersed.

But, to Jiang Chen’s surprise, the Yellow Sea Array was not broken.

It remained intact.

’What a cunning man, that Master Niu. His skill with Arrays is truly formidable.’

At this point, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but admire Master Niu’s skill in setting up the Array.

He had actually been mistaken about the Sea Heart’s location.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t dare to relax in the slightest. He scanned his surroundings, searching for the Sea Heart’s true location.

The Sea Heart could be anything.

The water was now perfectly calm, the waves gone. There wasn’t a single fish in the sea; there was nothing but water.

He swam through the water for several days, but still found no clues.

’Damn it, am I never going to find the Sea Heart?’

He understood the Yellow Sea Array and knew the general method for breaking it.

However, every array master had their own unique style, and the foundations would be different each time.

While the underlying principles were the same, Arrays were all about infinite variations.

He needed to find the specific foundations that had been altered for this particular Array.

If Jiang Chen himself were to set up a Yellow Sea Array, he wouldn’t use a fixed layout for the foundations either; he would adapt them based on his own intentions and the surrounding environment.

As he searched, Jiang Chen failed to notice a single bubble at his shoulder that followed him constantly. Wherever he went, the bubble went too.

It was always stuck to him.

When Jiang Chen left the water, the bubble would disappear.

The moment he went underwater, it would reappear.

"Hm?"

’Why is this bubble always on me?’

There were countless bubbles in the vast sea, so why would Jiang Chen have paid any mind to just one?

Especially one on his own body.

But as he repeatedly surfaced and submerged, he realized the bubble was always there.

’Haha! What a clever man, that Master Niu! To think he placed the Array’s core on my body from the very beginning.’

’No wonder I had such a hard time finding it.’

He was suddenly overjoyed, having apparently discovered the location of the Array’s core.
