Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 379: Chapter 377: Absolute Array: Celestial Tribulation Array

Upon discovering the bubble on his body, Jiang Chen was certain this was the core of the Yellow Sea Array—the Sea Heart itself.

He didn’t know when Master Niu had placed it on him.

He slowly reached out his hand.

He grabbed the bubble and squeezed it hard.

POP!

The bubble shattered instantly.

The next moment.

OMMM...

The entire Yellow Sea Array suddenly shuddered, then instantly vanished like smoke and clouds.

Jiang Chen’s figure emerged from the Yellow Sea Array, reappearing before everyone’s eyes.

"He broke the array."

"Heavens, that Jiang Chen actually broke Master Niu’s array!"

"It’s unbelievable."

"Does this mean he’s won again?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They stared blankly, shocked that Jiang Chen had broken through Master Niu’s array so quickly.

Although no one knew what kind of array Master Niu had set up.

Qin Yun, Zhao Bing, and the others all looked aghast.

Master Niu, on the other hand, had vanished without a trace ever since entering Jiang Chen’s array.

He still hadn’t broken out.

One fact was clear to everyone: Jiang Chen had passed another trial.

Qin Yun’s face was ashen.

He remembered the earlier condition: if Jiang Chen passed, he would have to kill himself in front of everyone.

And now, Jiang Chen had passed.

Jiang Chen merely glanced at his own array and smiled confidently.

「Inside the array.」

At this moment, Master Niu was in a complete panic.

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking viciously toward him.

Master Niu gasped, his body shooting backward as he hastily dodged the lightning bolt.

His eyes widened, and a sense of dread washed over him.

’How is this possible? Not only does this kid understand arrays, but he’s set up such a powerful Killing Array! This is big trouble.’

Ever since entering Jiang Chen’s array, not only had he failed to find its core or foundation, but he had fallen into a crisis.

He was an Array Master, so he knew very well that the array before him was a Killing Array.

Arrays could be divided into trapping arrays, Killing Arrays, illusion arrays, and Absolute Arrays.

If you entered a Killing Array, you were very likely to die inside.

However, a Killing Array generally still offered a slim chance of survival.

But an Absolute Array... that was a true Death Array.

Master Niu prided himself on his skill with arrays, yet he couldn’t find even a sliver of hope within this one.

Therefore, if he couldn’t break the array, his life would be forfeit.

Thus, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Logically speaking, breaking an array required meticulous thinking and a calm heart.

If one’s heart was in turmoil, breaking the array would be extremely difficult.

But now, lightning was everywhere.

Master Niu was completely overwhelmed, with no time to even think about how to break the array.

’It’s over... It’s really over.’

He couldn’t stop his miserable laughter.

He could only keep dodging the lightning to avoid being struck.

Death within an array was true death.

In truth, the array Jiang Chen had set up was called the Celestial Tribulation Array.

The Celestial Tribulation Array was an array Jiang Chen had personally derived from the Three Talents Array.

Heaven, Earth, and Human formed the Three Talents, and the Three Talents Array was an extremely powerful grand array.

However, the Three Talents Array could be further subdivided into the Celestial Array, the Earth Array, and the Human Array.

No array was fixed; although their principles were interconnected, arrays were all about infinite variations.

Jiang Chen certainly couldn’t set up a complete Three Talents Array right now, but he had managed to derive the Celestial Array from it.

The Celestial Array was primarily for killing.

It was an Absolute Array, not a Killing Array.

Once trapped in an Absolute Array, death was certain.

The Earth Array was also for killing, but it was a Killing Array, meaning it still contained a sliver of a chance for survival.

The Human Array was primarily for trapping, designed to ensnare enemies, not kill them.

Therefore, encountering either a Celestial Array or an Earth Array was extremely dangerous.

Death could come at any moment.

Right now, Master Niu believed Jiang Chen had set up a Killing Array, when it was, in fact, an Absolute Array.

Without considerable strength, one could not break through an Absolute Array. Therefore, Master Niu’s calculations, based on the methods for breaking a Killing Array, were utterly useless against Jiang Chen’s Celestial Array.

And Jiang Chen’s Celestial Array was also known as the Celestial Tribulation Array.

In his past life, Jiang Chen had been a Divine Emperor expert who had faced countless tribulations and celestial calamities.

He had taken the celestial calamities he’d personally experienced and fused them into the Celestial Array component of the Three Talents Array, creating the Celestial Tribulation Array.

It came with the inherent power of a celestial calamity.

One must understand that cultivators face a celestial tribulation upon reaching the Martial Emperor Realm.

But Master Niu’s current cultivation was only at the Martial Master Realm; how could he possibly withstand a celestial tribulation?

If he was struck by the lightning, he would die without a doubt.

’That bastard! How did he set up such a powerful array in such a short time?’

Master Niu had previously mocked Jiang Chen, saying that an array set up in such a short period wouldn’t be powerful.

But now, he was beginning to regret his arrogance.

The saying "there’s always a higher mountain" was true; Jiang Chen’s skill with arrays was clearly several realms above his own.

Escape seemed impossible this time.

He finally sighed to himself. ’I was too arrogant. My life is over.’

BOOM...

With a clap of thunder, several bolts of lightning descended from the sky at once.

CRACKLE!

The lightning slammed into the ground, making the very earth tremble as if it couldn’t bear the force.

Although Master Niu dodged hastily, one bolt of lightning still struck his arm.

"ARGH..."

Master Niu let out a bloodcurdling scream.

His arm instantly started smoking, going numb and losing all feeling.

Seeing this, Master Niu knew how dire it was and, with one slash, severed his own arm.

The pain sent him rolling on the ground.

But after surviving one wave of lightning, the power of the next would double.

BOOM!

Another clap of thunder echoed.

Master Niu’s face instantly turned deathly pale with fright.

He hurriedly roared, "Jiang Chen, I surrender! I surrender!"

He knew he had to beg for mercy now. Only if Jiang Chen let him out could he survive.

But as his voice faded, he received no response from Jiang Chen.

Outside, Jiang Chen was no longer paying any attention to the array he had set.

Only he knew the true power of his array.

The Celestial Tribulation Array, an Absolute Array.

Master Niu’s death was a certainty.

Since he had already broken Master Niu’s array, he had naturally passed the trial.

He took a few steps forward, approaching Qin Yun, and said coolly, "Qin Yun, are there any more trials?"

Qin Yun’s expression was extremely ugly.

Trembling all over, he glanced at Zhao Bing.

Zhao Bing sneered. "Brat, you still have to get through me."

"Guards of the City Lord’s Mansion, on my command, kill him!"

Zhao Bing was on good terms with Qin Yun. They rose and fell together, so naturally, he didn’t want to see Qin Yun actually kill himself.

He even needed to use the Qin Family to get in good with the Second Prince.

With a wave of his hand.

The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion surged forward, charging straight for Jiang Chen.

By now, no one was paying attention to when Master Niu would break out of the array; after all, it was already too late for him.

"KILL..."

The men from the City Lord’s Mansion rushed Jiang Chen almost instantly.

Every one of them seethed with killing intent.

Among the several thousand guards of the City Lord’s Mansion, the strongest were even Martial King Experts.

"Brat, I caught you once, and I can do it again! Now die!"

The man leading the charge was someone Jiang Chen recognized: Wan Zhenshan, the one who had captured him and thrown him into the Devil’s Prison the first time.

He charged forward, his face a mask of ferocity.

"It’s you. In that case, I will go on a killing spree today and wipe away my past humiliation."

Seeing Wan Zhenshan, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
