Chapter 466: Yuanying Sells His Head Today

"Hmm?" Li Fan was slightly surprised to see the four cultivators suddenly appear before him.

Ever since he started stirring up trouble in this world under the guise of an ancient Heavenly Secrets Sect cultivator, Li Fan had become exceptionally cautious. Whenever he ventured out, he would always use the "Hand Over The Heavens" secret art to conceal his whereabouts. The secret art from his previous life, which could shield against Xuanwang's perception, was truly extraordinary. Within the vast Myriad Immortals Alliance, countless cultivators wished to meet Li Fan, but none ever succeeded. Unexpectedly, today, he finally encountered some uninvited guests.

"Who are you?" Li Fan asked, not expecting an honest answer but merely wanting to buy time. Sensing the aura emanating from the four black-robed cultivators, Li Fan felt a little relieved. They were significantly weaker than Tianyang, likely at the Nascent Soul stage.

"What do you want with me?" Li Fan asked, though he already knew. "You'll find out soon enough!" one of them said coldly. "Form the array!" They positioned themselves at the four corners, each firing a golden light from the magical artifact in their hand. The golden threads twisted and turned in the air, instantly forming a radiant golden array around Li Fan. It resembled a massive bell, trapping Li Fan within.

Li Fan's eyes flickered. He tried to evade, but the surrounding space felt as if it had solidified, making it impossible to break free. "Shrink!" the four of them shouted in unison. The golden bell rapidly contracted, growing smaller and smaller. The golden outline was about to completely bind Li Fan.

"Split Light Dragon Confinement Array..." Trapped within the array, Li Fan remained completely unperturbed. Having diligently cultivated the path of array formations for several lives, he naturally recognized what kind of array the four black-robed cultivators were jointly casting. It was one of the foremost confinement arrays currently circulating in the world, requiring at least three cultivators to cast it together. The more people that formed the array, the greater its power. Capturing cultivators of a higher cultivation level was also easy. With the combined effort of four Nascent Soul cultivators, under normal circumstances, even a Soul Transformation cultivator could be easily captured.

However...

Li Fan sneered inwardly. Although he couldn't move, dozens of Great Five Elements Annihilation Swords shot out from various parts of his body. Destructive black light scattered in all directions. Feeling the terrifying aura pervading the black light, all four black-robed cultivators' expressions changed slightly. They instinctively prepared to dodge.

But immediately, the black-robed cultivators were horrified to discover that the black light swords were not targeting them. Instead, they were striking various critical points of the Split Light Dragon Confinement Array! "No good!" one of the cultivators exclaimed in alarm, as he finally realized that the black light emanating from Li Fan was precisely hitting the crucial nodes of the Split Light Dragon Confinement Array. "Boom!" Golden and black light violently collided. The golden bell, which had seemed substantial, instantly dimmed slightly. The supposedly unbreakable confinement array also loosened as a result. "Petty tricks, daring to show off before an expert!"

Amidst shifting light and shadows, Li Fan's figure abruptly vanished from the Dragon Confinement Array. "Besides deduction arts, this person is also proficient in array formations?" "How is this possible?" In an instant, this thought flashed through the minds of all four black-robed cultivators.

"The intelligence is wrong, withdraw now!" the leading cultivator exclaimed in a low voice.

However, just as they were about to retreat, they inexplicably found the sky suddenly darkening. It was as if a dark cloud had blotted out the sky. Then, dozens of golden lights flew out from the dark cloud, drawing a larger golden bowl in the air with lightning speed, encompassing all four of them.

"Split Light Dragon Confinement Array?!" The black-robed cultivators' bodies trembled, their eyes filled with disbelief. Not only had he instantly used their own method against them, but this array appeared even more refined than the one they, four Nascent Soul cultivators, had jointly set up! Although its power was slightly inferior, it contained an unknown improvement compared to the widely circulated version in the cultivation world. It was this subtle change that would require them to expend considerable effort to break the array. At this point, the four black-robed cultivators had no choice but to go all out.

Within the massive golden bowl, four unique Spatial Domain manifestations appeared one after another: a solitary snowy peak, a misty jungle, a mountain as straight as a sword, and a vast plain. Beneath the dark clouds and above the golden bowl, Li Fan stood still. Gazing down at the four Nascent Soul cultivators below, killing intent permeated his heart. Not all of these individuals were proficient in array formations; they still required magical artifacts to set up the array. Thus, the array they hastily deployed naturally had some minor flaws. For ordinary cultivators, these flaws would be negligible. But in Li Fan's eyes, the Split Light Dragon Confinement Array they had set up was riddled with weaknesses. After breaking free from the array, he immediately counterattacked.

First, he activated the "Hand Over The Heavens" secret art to obscure the sky, preventing any potential external prying. He then used the "Delusional Words" artifact, purchased from the Heavenly Profound Mirror, to disrupt their spiritual talisman communication. Following this, he deployed the "Explosive Dharma Astonishing Spirit Array" to temporarily elevate his cultivation techniques and abilities to the Nascent Soul stage. Finally, he used a Split Light Array to temporarily trap them.

"When I was at the Foundation Establishment stage, I could already slay Nascent Soul cultivators." "Now that my cultivation has advanced to the late Golden Core stage, seeing the four of you is like watching lambs to the slaughter!" "Overturn the Heavens!"

A colossal palm descended from the sky. The four cultivators in the golden bowl were like turtles in a jar, with nowhere to escape. The chill of the snowy peak permeated the air, ghostly screams echoed from the misty jungle, the straight mountain peaks collided head-on, and wisps of smoke rose from the vast plain... As the Spatial Domain manifestations evolved, the four cultivators unleashed all their abilities. Four-colored lights intertwined and converged, colliding with the "Overturn the Heavens" palm. But it was useless! Like paper, it disintegrated upon contact.

The enormous palm pressed down directly. Amidst screams, the four cultivators' bodies shattered inch by inch. The Spatial Domain manifestations reappeared, and their flesh and blood writhed, reforming into complete bodies. The residual power of the "Overturn the Heavens" palm continued, no longer bothering with their physical bodies, but instead slamming towards their four Spatial Domains. "Bang!" The Spatial Domains trembled. Within the mountains, misty jungle, and plains, it was as if the apocalypse had arrived. Amidst the thunderous roar, massive cracks appeared within the Spatial Domain boundaries. Mountains collapsed, trees in the misty jungle toppled, and the plains cracked... It seemed as though, in the next moment, the four Spatial Domains would be utterly destroyed.

However, these black-robed cultivators cooperated with exceptional synergy. At this critical juncture, none of them retreated. With their full magical power channeled to the extreme, the four of them, working together, managed to forcefully withstand the "Overturn the Heavens" palm. The ethereal image of the giant palm vanished without a trace, and only then did the continuously shaking Spatial Domains slowly return to calm.

The four of them, looking visibly shaken, hurriedly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy to mend the damage to their Spatial Domains. At the same time, they took out and swallowed medicinal pills, searching for Li Fan's figure. "This divine ability is incredibly powerful; Li Fan must have expended a lot of energy. Let's seize this opportunity to break through the Dragon Confinement Array!"

"This person is definitely not just a Golden Core cultivator as he appears; perhaps he has already recovered from his injuries." "Right, we must relay this information back. This person could very well be bait thrown out by the Myriad Immortals Alliance!"
