Chapter 898: Battling the Celestial Array King

The Celestial Array King and the towering, scale-covered alien warrior standing behind him both turned their gazes toward the unusual spatial fluctuation.

Whoosh!

Three figures emerged simultaneously, exuding powerful auras.

Here is the translation:

They were: ‘Extreme Rainbow King’, whose entire body was covered in black fur; ‘Mountain Roar King’, merely half a meter tall and resembling an adorable dwarf; and ‘Covering Water King’, whose emerald-green skin seemed to contain flowing water beneath its surface. These three were all Sovereign-level experts at the peak of their power. Among them, Extreme Rainbow King and Covering Water King possessed the ‘Purple Bell’ and ‘Ice Silk Net’ respectively, making them the two strongest among Luo Feng’s Nine Great Commanders.

As for Mountain Roar King, if none of the Nine Great Commanders had heavy treasures, Mountain Roar King would be the strongest in actual combat capability.

These three were, indeed, Luo Feng’s top three strongest subordinates.

When the Celestial Array King spotted the three figures emerging in the distance, his heart instantly surged with astonishment: “Extreme Rainbow King, Mountain Roar King, Covering Water King… all supreme Sovereign-level powerhouses. They were once formidable experts who ventured through the Star Tower. Why have they arrived here? Hmm, I heard Covering Water King had already fallen… Never imagined encountering him here. Could he have been enslaved, or merely survived by a stroke of fortune?”

“They must have come here because the Star Tower has become too chaotic recently, and they fled here.”

In reality, the three great experts—Extreme Rainbow King, Mountain Roar King, and Covering Water King—belonged to two different factions. However, the Celestial Array King was not surprised at all to see experts from opposing factions working together.

Just like when Luo Feng adventured in the Tower with the Purple Bell King and others, under special circumstances, it was quite common for experts from different factions to ally with each other.

“The three of them working together, especially Mountain Roar King, poses the greatest threat! Even if I summon the other two servants to appear, my side will only have four in total, with two being Sovereign-level soul masters and the other two at the Sovereign Limit. If we really engage in battle, we won’t have the slightest chance of victory.” The Celestial Array King’s mind raced with thoughts.

Over the past 6,000 years, he had executed numerous assassination missions targeting formidable experts.

However…

He only went after those within his capabilities. When confronted with the simultaneous presence of three Sovereign Limit experts—Extreme Rainbow King, Mountain Roar King, and Covering Water King—he wasn’t foolish enough to engage in reckless combat.

The two sides caught sight of each other. The group led by Extreme Rainbow King clearly held the dominant momentum. Covering Water King, in particular, spoke coldly, “Celestial Array King, I never expected to encounter you here.”

“Water King, Extreme Rainbow King, Mountain Roar King… what a coincidence. It seems you are also here to explore the Twin Spiral Region. However, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” The Celestial Array King said with a smile, then, along with the towering, scale-covered alien warrior behind him, prepared to teleport away. Yet, just as the Celestial Array King finished speaking his last few words, an invisible ripple spread outward.

The vast space around them was completely sealed off.

“Space sealing?” The Celestial Array King’s expression darkened. “Do the three of you have something to say to me?” The towering, scale-covered alien warrior behind him also cast a cold glare toward Extreme Rainbow King’s side.

“We do have something to say.” Covering Water King sneered coldly.

As soon as he spoke…

Boom~~~

The air erupted as both sides sprang into action almost simultaneously. Covering Water King, Extreme Rainbow King, and Mountain Roar King charged forward in unison, while Celestial Array King’s faction unexpectedly summoned two additional alien experts from thin air, swelling their ranks to four. With a thunderous roar, Celestial Array King and his three lieutenants surged into combat!

(Note: “Extreme虹King” was translated as “Extreme Rainbow King” assuming “虹” refers to a rainbow. If it represents a different concept, please specify the intended meaning for precise translation.)

“Since the battle has begun, we will give it our all to defeat them, control them, and if we can’t control them, we’ll kill them all!” The Celestial Array King’s eyes burned with madness as he mentally commanded his three subordinates, “Chimang King, you and I will simultaneously burn our immortal divine power and then unleash illusions!”

“Yes, Master.”

Boom! Boom!

Both the Celestial Array King and Chimang King acted decisively, instantly causing their auras to surge violently, twisting the surrounding space.

After burning their immortal divine power, the Celestial Array King and the Chimang King became terrifyingly formidable. They simultaneously unleashed soul illusions, targeting the Mountain Roar King and the Extreme Rainbow King respectively… Alongside the illusions, they also attempted soul control. Though the success rate was exceedingly low, success would grant them an additional subordinate.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” As the auras of the Celestial Array King and the Chimang King surged, the three Sovereign Limit experts on Extreme Rainbow King’s side burned their immortal divine power without hesitation, compelling the other two subordinates under the Celestial Array King to do the same.

Thus—

In this battle, a total of seven super experts on both sides burned their immortal divine power, which made the Celestial Array King somewhat angry and anxious.

“You retreat, and we won’t pursue.” The Celestial Array King mentally commanded.

“Haha, don’t dream!” Extreme Hong King showed no intention of backing down.

“I bear you no ill will. This fight will only end in mutual annihilation. Ceasing now would be to our mutual advantage.” The Celestial Array King attempted to parley, but the sole reply he received was a savage assault from Extreme Rainbow King’s forces.

Peng~~~

The continent, which had been flying continuously within the endless vortex, was struck by the residual energy of the battle between the seven super experts, causing a layer of the incredibly hard and thick earth to be stripped away.

Within a world ring held by the Extreme Rainbow King.

Luo Feng and the other six experts under his command were present here, with the six experts standing in a line, showing their respect to Luo Feng.

“The battle has already begun.” The Heavy Arrow King smiled. “Master, I’m afraid the Celestial Array King still doesn’t know why Extreme Rainbow King and the others are so desperate.”

“Haha…” Luo Feng also smiled.

When experts are evenly matched, they rarely engage in direct combat.

However, Extreme Hong King and the others had received his orders and naturally followed them without question, engaging in battle according to his plan.

“First, force the Celestial Array King to be severely injured, losing more than half of his divine body, reducing his strength to less than a tenth. Then, I and the other experts under my command will appear together and attempt to take control of the Celestial Array King’s soul.” Luo Feng’s general plan was like this. The reason he didn’t appear at the beginning was to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Because now, figures like the Fate-Annihilation King and the Tower Dragon King… wanted to deal with the Daohe King.

The Celestial Array King naturally knew this and was also wary of Daohe King. Once Luo Feng appeared… the Celestial Array King’s first action would likely be to use the virtual universe to rapidly spread the news, publicly revealing the coordinates of Daohe King! Many of the super beings like the Fate-Annihilation King had publicly offered rewards for Daohe King’s coordinates.

“Fortunately, I’ve already chosen to retire, and I’m no longer part of the military system. As long as I don’t expose myself voluntarily, they naturally won’t be able to find me.”

“For now, I won’t appear.”

“Once the Celestial Array King is severely injured and the outcome is decided, I will appear, quickly resolve everything, and then leave immediately.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “Celestial Array King, Celestial Array King… back then, I already suspected you had some secrets. I never expected you to have controlled three expert subordinates… Fight, fight as hard as you can. After this battle, you will either perish or become my slave.”

“Covering Water King, take action.” Luo Feng mentally commanded.

“Yes, Master!”

Above the colossal continent soaring through the endless vortex, the seven supreme experts were locked in a fierce battle. The Mountain Roar King had unleashed his innate secret technique, transforming his entire body into a towering giant resembling a mountain peak, displaying unparalleled might. On the opposing side, the Celestial Array King commanded two soul masters skilled in illusions. Under their illusory assaults, the Extreme Rainbow King and the Covering Water King found themselves unable to fully utilize their strength, constantly being overwhelmed.

“Yes, Master.” Upon receiving the command, the Covering Water King let out a cold sneer. Merging his heavy treasure, the ‘Ice Chaos Silk Net,’ he unleashed his signature technique—’Nine Water Cover Strikes.’

Hua!

He unleashed his Law Domain while simultaneously harnessing the essence of the universe, using the Ice Silk Net as a framework. In an instant, the area spanning a million kilometers transformed into an endless frozen sea, completely trapping the seven experts. Every drop of water weighed a thousand jin, and under the enveloping force of the boundless frigid seawater, the speed of all seven experts was instantly hindered.

“Master, this Covering Water Sea of Covering Water King… why is it so powerful? I’ve fought him before, and it wasn’t this strong in the past.”

“Quickly break out of the Covering Water Sea.” The Celestial Array King ordered.

In the icy sea…

The four great experts led by the Celestial Array King soared into the sky.

However, the endless sea also flew along with them, and within the surging waters, countless transparent threads, invisible to the naked eye, rapidly darted toward the four experts led by the Celestial Array King.

“Master, watch out.”

“Ahh!”

“There are special rope-like binding mental weapons.”

“Be careful.”

The side led by the Celestial Array King was thrown into panic as the first to be directly ensnared by the threads was Chimang King. Although Chimang King instantly disintegrated his divine body to escape the binding threads and then reformed, as soon as he reformed, the threads ensnared him again.

This made it impossible for him to fight at full strength.

He and the Celestial Array King were still using soul attacks, but the other two subordinates under the Celestial Array King were even more unfortunate because they were both close-range fighters.

“The binding force is extremely strong, impossible to break free, and attacks cannot break it either. It must be a heavy treasure.”

“Be careful.”

The Celestial Array King spotted three formidable figures swiftly closing in from afar. Clenching his teeth, he retrieved an extraordinary treasure he had obtained during his 6,000-year journey of tribulation—the most unique among them all. In his grasp materialized a tower-shaped mechanical weapon roughly twelve meters tall, a supreme individual armament of the mechanical race—the Disintegration Tower!

The Disintegration Tower’s power was incredibly terrifying.

Previously, the Fate-Annihilation King had assassinated the Seven-Sword King using the Disintegration Tower, which showed the tower’s immense power.

“Buzzzzz~~~” The Celestial Array King was frantically pouring his burning immortal divine power into the tower, clearly willing to do anything.

“You want to kill me? Then you all die!”

The Celestial Array King’s face was twisted with rage.

“Roar!!!”

Suddenly, a jade-green rotating wave of light emerged, shooting straight toward the Covering Water King! In the eyes of the Celestial Array King, the silk net that had been so troublesome earlier—one that even Sovereign Limit experts couldn’t repel despite burning their immortal divine power—was now terrifyingly powerful. If this continued, all four of them would likely perish.

Therefore, the first target in the Celestial Array King’s eyes was Covering Water King, who controlled the silk net.

“Dang!”

A massive bell suddenly emerged from the seawater, enclosing the shrunken Mountain Roar King, Covering Water King, and Extreme Rainbow King within. In truth, when the Celestial Array King had earlier revealed the Disintegration Tower… Extreme Rainbow King was utterly shocked: “It’s the Disintegration Tower! Mountain Roar King, Covering Water King, hurry inside the Purple Bell!”

“Boom~~~” The emerald-green rotating light wave struck the colossal purple bell, its tremendous force ripping through the entire ocean.
