Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 657: Chapter 660: The Magic Brush of Ma Liang [Subscribe Requested]

Wu Tian scrutinized the Six Cauldrons Abyssal Array’s formation pattern etched on Feng Li’s right arm. Just as every painter has a unique style, so too does every Array Master have their own distinct method of inscribing formations.

On Feng Li’s arm, Wu Tian indeed discerned the madcap’s style. Therefore, this formation pattern was not solely the work of Feng Li. Of course, Wu Tian believed that cheating was out of the question, given the madcap’s character. This meant the formation’s only purpose was for the madcap to use his cultivation to ensure Feng Li’s safety. Yet Feng Li had shamelessly claimed this unfinished formation pattern as his own and, with a Formation Pen in hand, was now about to complete it.

"How shameless," Wu Tian couldn’t help but say, his eyes chillingly cold. His gaze was like divine thunder from the Nine Heavens, striking straight into the soul.

Under Wu Tian’s stare, Feng Li felt as if all his secrets had been laid bare. He shivered, trembling uncontrollably.

"What... what kind of look is that?"

"His eyes... they’re terrifying."

Fear had already taken root in Feng Li’s heart.

"Young Master Feng, what’s wrong with you?" the Array Master who came with him asked with a frown.

"I... I... I’m alright," Feng Li stammered, composing himself, but his voice still trembled with lingering fear.

"Young Master Feng... go ahead," another Array Master urged. "Your arm bears the Six Cauldrons Abyssal Array pattern. You only need to add a few more strokes to complete the formation. They can’t possibly win."

"Indeed," the Array Masters behind Feng Li nodded in agreement.

"Alright," Feng Li nodded. Gripping the Formation Pen in his left hand, he began to scribe upon the unfinished pattern on his right arm.

The Formation Pen was Profound Level, and the ink was the blood of a Fifth Grade Demon Beast.

As he etched the pattern, everyone watched, the little one included. Carving formation patterns on one’s own body looks so hideous.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" The Array Master beside Feng Li noticed the little one’s gaze and scowled. "Shouldn’t you be imprinting your own formation? Or are you trying to steal our techniques?"

"Steal your techniques?" The little one furrowed her brow, looking at the Array Master. "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else?" the Array Master sneered. "You must be trying to steal them, but do you think you’re capable of learning? Hahaha."

"Die." Watching this unfold, Wu Tian snorted. In an instant, a Blood Glow flashed, and the Array Master dropped dead on the spot.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded.

"If you want to compete, compete with formations, not with your mouths," Wu Tian said with a cold, contemptuous smile. "My child is still young. You are not to bully her. Otherwise, you will die."

With those words, the air grew frigid, causing all the Array Masters to shudder. They stared at Wu Tian, their faces filled with terror. The killing intent in the space was chilling. Only someone who had slain millions could emanate such a dense, murderous aura. Wu Tian alone intimidated the entire crowd.

"Dad, thank you," the little one said to Wu Tian.

Wu Tian nodded, pleased. His little girl has learned to thank her parents? This is a good thing. For the first time, Wu Tian understood what true satisfaction felt like.

The little one turned her head to look at Feng Li. "Do you really think you’ve already won?"

Feng Li paused for a moment, his Formation Pen hovering. He then laughed. "Of course. I cannot lose. I only need three more strokes. Once the formation pattern is complete, the Six Cauldrons Abyssal Array is a first-rate formation. With six cauldrons, it is number one among Sixth Rank formations. With seven cauldrons, it is also the best among Seventh Grade formations. How... how could you possibly defeat me?"

"Ignorant," the little one spat out, her voice filled with disdain. "Haven’t you heard that ’learning is endless’? Or that ’there are heavens beyond heaven’? What about ’a frog in a well’? Don’t tell me you don’t even know that one?"

"Today, I will show you that among Sixth Rank formations, the Six Cauldrons Abyssal Array is nothing!" the little one declared domineeringly, her voice resonant and filled with an air of invincibility.

Among Sixth Rank formations, the Six Cauldrons Abyssal Array amounts to nothing? Was she serious? Or bluffing? They were all shocked.

"Now, I’ll let you see the Nine Bends Yellow River Array." The little one’s tone was brimming with confidence.

"The Nine Bends Yellow River Array?" Upon hearing this, the faces of the Array Masters present changed drastically. What kind of formation was that? Why had none of them ever heard of it?

Wu Tian stood to the side, chuckling to himself. How could these people have heard of the Nine Bends Yellow River Array? It’s a formation from the Mythical World. And although it’s certainly not as terrifying as the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation and the like, it’s not to be underestimated. San Xiao once ran rampant relying on this formation; if not for the arrival of Yuanshi Tianzun, no one on Jiang Ziya’s side could have broken it. "The Nine Bends Yellow River’s vast sands span a thousand miles, washed and sifted by the waves from the ends of the sky." These words were not to be taken lightly. The Yellow River’s nine bends carried with them endless raging sands, descending majestically from the heavens and flowing to the horizon. Heaven and earth were filled with sand. There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run! But setting up this formation requires the Mixed Yuan Gold Cauldron. To harness the sand’s invincible power, one also needs the Gold Jiao Scissors and the Dragon Binding Rope. Without these three Supreme Treasures, the formation is merely Ninth Grade. And given the little one’s comprehension, she can’t grasp it completely. Without treasures like the Mixed Yuan Gold Cauldron, her Nine Bends Yellow River Array is only Sixth Rank at best.

Among Sixth Rank formations, the invincible one was not the Six Cauldrons Abyssal Array, but the Nine Bends Yellow River Array!

"Ridiculous, ridiculous..." Feng Li sneered. With his family’s profound knowledge, how powerful could some Nine Bends Yellow River Array be if even he had never heard of it? "Besides, what materials do you have to inscribe a formation? The Feng Family has superior Formation Pens and ink made from the blood of high-grade monsters! What do you have?"

...But then they saw Wu Tian walk step-by-step to the little one’s side. With a flip of his palm, a bottle of blood and a pen appeared before him.

The blood was from a young Phoenix.

The pen was from the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House. It had no fancy name, just "the Divine Pen." Its former owner was neither an immortal nor a cultivator, just an ordinary person named Ma Liang.

The little one knew that what her father gave her was anything but ordinary.

She opened the cap of the black bottle. The Spiritual Energy within the blood radiated outward, eventually filling the surrounding space. Faintly, the cry of a Phoenix emanated from within the blood, shaking hearts and startling heaven and earth.

"This is..." Yang Ziwei’s face turned pale with shock as he realized what it was.

"The blood of a Divine Beast?" Feng Li was also stunned.

"Impossible. In all of heaven and earth, other than hybrid Divine Beasts, are there any *true* Divine Beasts?"

"There are, definitely. Some say that the ruler of the Dragon Domain, the mount of the former Wutian Celestial Emperor, is a true Divine Beast."

"But, even if Divine Beasts exist, who could obtain their blood? How could he possibly have it?"

The Array Masters were too shocked to speak.

As Feng Li and the others looked back at the little one’s pen, they saw it didn’t look as ornate as a Formation Pen; it seemed like an ordinary, unremarkable writing tool.

To use the blood of a Divine Beast as ink with such a crude pen... The Array Masters roared inwardly. What a waste! A colossal waste!
