Lin Xuankong defended himself within the Seventh Realm Luo Water Grand Array against the tenacious attacks of the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon. The demon’s powerful Blue Bird’s Wings relentlessly struck the array’s light membrane, causing damage and dimming its patterns. However, the array proved more resilient than anticipated, with new patterns constantly replenishing the damaged ones. Lin Xuankong realized that while the array could theoretically withstand attacks for millennia, the prolonged battle risked attracting even more powerful celestial demons to the area. Faced with this grim prospect, he decided to offer the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon a chance to face him directly within the array.

"What did you say?"

The Cyan Bird Celestial Demon paused its assault on the light membrane of the Luo Water Array with its Cyan Bird’s Wings.

In the eyes of this Mid Stage of Minor Success Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, the greatest obstacle to capturing Lin Xuankong was the Luo Water Array before it!

It truly hadn’t anticipated that someone with an extraordinary talent in artifact refining, a rare genius through the ages, could single-handedly set up such a profound and powerful array, nearly rivaling the Immortal Slaying Thousand Demon Array created by thousands of Initial Tier Celestial Demons working in unison!

This level of array formation... although it still couldn’t compare to the unparalleled Path of Array Formation of the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race, the Lin Xuankong before it was merely a "young rascal" who had just ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm! Such a person, in the future, could have countless possibilities to become incredibly powerful!

Yet, as the light membrane of the grand array was set to block it for perhaps hundreds of years, Lin Xuankong suddenly claimed he would let it in for a duel!

Is Lin Xuankong insane, or just foolish?

Without the protection of this powerful array, does he have other means to resist it?

Or is this a trap? Aside from this grand array defense, does Lin Xuankong have other stronger offensive methods?

The Cyan Bird Celestial Demon had lived for millions of years, and naturally wouldn’t become joyous over a mere sentence from Lin Xuankong,

After a few moments of contemplation, the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon looked towards Lin Xuankong with a touch of doubt in its eyes, beyond the light membrane of the Luo Water Array.

Yet Lin Xuankong raised his right hand, waving it lightly, and at the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon’s location, a hole of about one foot radius suddenly appeared in the light membrane of the Luo Water Array, "If you have the courage, step inside! Of course, if you’re afraid, you—the so-called Mid Stage Celestial Demon and Lord—can simply flee!"

The Cyan Bird Celestial Demon’s expression changed upon seeing this,

It gazed down at the foot-sized hole beneath it, its vertical pupils roving, calculating what measures Lin Xuankong might have!

The surrounding thousands of Initial Tier Celestial Demons involved in activating the Immortal Slaying Thousand Demon Array were all wide-eyed,

Some among them couldn’t help but howl,

"That Lin Xuankong, a mere Initial Tier Celestial Immortal, must be insane, daring to face Lord Cyan Bird without the protection of the grand array—he’s just a tiny Initial Tier Celestial Immortal, after millions or even tens of millions of years of cultivation, he might not reach the Mid Stage of Minor Success Realm, how does he dare!"

"Lord Cyan Bird is absolutely invincible in the Cyan Wood Forest. Even the lords from nearby small domains have come all this way to congratulate since Lord Cyan Bird advanced to Mid Stage Celestial Demon. Yet this ascender to the Supreme Origin Realm dares such disdain!"

"Damn it, not even a hundred of these Initial Tier Celestial Immortals could ever challenge Lord Cyan Bird! This guy must be mad, daring such disregard of Lord Cyan Bird’s prestige and power! Once Lord Cyan Bird enters the grand array, he can capture that kid in less than a thousandth of a breath!"

"The reputation and power of Lord Cyan Bird are such that even the Demon Dragon race, naturally residing in the Supreme Origin Realm, must look up to it. How dare this guy be so brazen!"

Amidst the enraged cries of the Initial Tier Celestial Demons, the Red-haired Celestial Demon stood further away, squinting its eyes slightly, having personally felt the terrifying power of Lin Xuankong and his twelve Demon Body Incarnations. Naturally, it couldn’t be like these uninformed Initial Tier Celestial Demons, believing Lin Xuankong could be defeated by the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon in a fraction of a breath! Yet, the Red-haired Celestial Demon couldn’t fathom what card, what confidence Lin Xuankong held to so lightly dismiss the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon!

Perhaps it’s his Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts... The Red-haired Celestial Demon’s expression shifted while pondering this, its earlier suspicions about Lin Xuankong’s artifact refining skills lingering! Over the past ten thousand years, the captured cultivators from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm have all used Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts refined by Lin Xuankong. Yet Lin Xuankong, before them, despite deploying numerous Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, hadn’t showcased even one Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact, which was definitely odd!

Upon realizing this, the Red-haired Celestial Demon loudly declared: "Lord Cyan Bird, this Lin Xuankong is definitely not your match; even after millions of years of cultivation, he couldn’t keep pace with your achievements. Yet his artifact refining techniques are astonishing, and he hasn’t used a single Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact thus far; there’s definitely something wrong with this kid!"

The Cyan Bird Celestial Demon nodded slightly upon hearing this,

It also had this thought... The most pivotal concern was not Lin Xuankong’s large stock of Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, but the Luo Water Array Lin Xuankong had set!

At that moment,

Floating amidst the Seven Realms Luo Water Grand Array, Lin Xuankong’s expression shifted, as radiant streams of light flew out from behind him, transforming into exquisitely designed, coldly gleaming, rippling Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

The number of these Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts amounted to forty-eight, circling around Lin Xuankong, imposing in appearance!

Lin Xuankong, gazing at the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, calmly remarked: "What’s wrong, are you afraid? Rest assured, these forty-eight Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts might at most hurt you among your thousands of subordinates, causing you to lose some face. They shouldn’t be able to severely injure you!"
