The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 290 - 257: The Apex of Array Dao, Heaven and Earth Cage

Songbai Daoist stood amidst the snow and ice.

He had a standard square face, his expression always serious, his eyes carrying a trace of majesty, exuding a powerful pressure at all times, maintaining a stern facade.

Because he was the eldest senior brother among the disciples of Junzi Temple of this generation, he always had the responsibility of supervising the work of junior brothers and sisters, he had to oversee them.

Later, naturally, he became the Daoist Sect's Law Enforcement Elder.

Of course, he was also one of the highest cultivation practitioners in the Daoist Sect.

On the day when speaking about the Origin Fragment in the Daoist Hall, everyone had mentioned to Chu Huaixu, that if Lu Pan could refine a wisp of the Power of Origin, then he would surely be a Ninth Realm powerhouse in the future.

But in the current situation, he needed to fight one against four, plus the Power of the Yin Vein.

The Banner Spirits emerging from within the Black Banner were certainly not as strong as they were in life.

But they had the advantage in numbers, as well as realm.

They were all at Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection and Eighth Realm Great Perfection!

If this Evil Cultivator were to fight one-on-one, Lu Pan was confident he could kill him within half an incense stick's time.

But with the addition of the Power of the Yin Vein and the Black Banner, it became something different.

The Power of the Yin Vein entered the body of the Vice Sect Leader, and his aura began to gradually ascend. Unknowingly, he used some evil technique to temporarily achieve cultivation comparable to the Eighth Realm Great Perfection.

"Especially that Black Banner in his hand, it seems extremely sinister!"

Lu Pan could not sense the aura of a Spiritual Artifact from it; instead, it felt more like the top-grade Immortal Treasures seized from Kunlun Cave Heaven in the Profound Yellow Realm!

"The Four Symbols Sword that Huaixu brought back feels like it's not even at the same level as this."

Immediately after, he saw a strange power emerging from the Black Banner.

The facial features of the three Banner Spirits began to become clearer, and their expressions were no longer so dull.

They even retained their intelligence from life!

This instantly plunged Lu Pan's heart into the abyss.

Having intelligence meant they could use Divine Techniques, thus they were not simply undead.

He attempted to send a message to the Sect, seeking help, but this place had been isolated! No doubt preparations were made in advance.

"Too far from the Daoist Sect, their Divine Sense cannot perceive the situation here." Lu Pan frowned, dismissing the idea of seeking more help.

He dared not hold back, knowing he must use lethal moves immediately, any other methods would be futile.

If Lu Pan held back at this moment, even if just a little, it would mean more danger!

The advantage was not on his side.

Billowing black energy emerged from the Black Banner, the Vice Sect Leader, wearing a wooden mask, said coldly, "I've long heard that the Law Enforcement Elder of the Daoist Sect is one of the world-renowned Array Grandmasters."

"Today, I shall use an array to kill you!"

"Triple Spirit Yin Gale Array, arise!"

The three Banner Spirits immediately formed an array, the Vice Sect Leader held the Black Banner in his right hand and began casting seals with his left.

A hint of disdain and mockery appeared on Lu Pan's face.

"With such crude methods, you dare to show off in front of me!"

A glint of sinister intent appeared in the Vice Sect Leader's eyes behind the wooden mask.

"This Sect Leader will use this crude array to kill you, the famous Array Grandmaster of the Profound Yellow Realm!"

This, undoubtedly, was an attempt to humiliate.

Lu Pan looked at him, slightly shaking his head.

"In the Daoist Sect, I am indeed just an elder brother with dull aptitude."

"In terms of combat, I am certainly not as good as Junior Martial Uncle."

"In terms of talent, I am not as gifted as Junior Sister Seven and Junior Sister."

"I am no match for Second Senior Brother."

"If it weren't for the busy affairs, Third Senior Brother as the Sect Leader would have surpassed me long ago in cultivation progress."

"I am so many years older than Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, and Junior Sister Jiu, but when they reach my age, their achievements will surely surpass mine."

"But if you think you can humiliate me in terms of Array Dao?"

"Hahaha!" Lu Pan let out a long laugh.

Then, he channeled his spiritual power, his voice spreading for miles.

"Huaixu, since you've acknowledged me as your mentor to learn Array Dao."

"Today as your mentor, I shall let you understand why among the myriad Magic Dao, Array Dao is first!"

"You should carefully sense what is the ultimate in Array Dao!"

Lu Pan's whole body rose into the air.

"The Profound Yellow Realm is vast and boundless, but it has its limits."

"Once, I thought, since it has limits, then we are confined by them."

"This world is a cage from which we cannot break free."

"Therefore, I deduced the grand array of the cage and created this array, named — Heaven and Earth Cage."

"Today, I shall use this Heaven and Earth to imprison you, and imprison myself!"

"Commence array!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He used himself and a long spear as the array's core, and instantly a grand green array emerged around him.

One array towers to the sky, another steadies the ground!

He hung suspended between heaven and earth.

Despite being far from Guanghan Cliff, as long as Chu Huaixu looked up, he could see that terrifying grand array.

Lu Pan softly spoke: "Stop."

The falling snow within the two grand arrays of heaven and earth halted instantly.

Each and every snowflake floated in the air, motionless.

These snowflakes were the Evil Cultivator's Domain.

"Cut." Lu Pan spoke again.

The Power of the Yin Vein seemed to be severed by him instantly, the endless Yin Qi no longer rampant.

Beneath the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Moon Sect, once connected with the Power of the Yin Vein, at this moment ceased to converge towards him.

Lu Pan, within the Heaven and Earth Cage, was nothing like he described, turning heaven and earth into a prison, imprisoning himself.

He appeared more like a deity, whose words became law!

This astonishing might, in fact, had already come infinitely close to the Power of Origin transformed by the Heavenly Dao.

His Domain, too, merged with this grand array.

Once more Lu Pan cast seals with one hand, pronouncing: "Break."
