Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 419: 234_1

Previously, they thought the array was strong, but it seemed to be nothing more than an empty shell, barely withstanding their initial assault. Yet the second strike had already shattered it. Its comparison to a formidable enemy was almost laughable. After all, it only stood a step away from the Sacred Throne.

The Three Thousand Experts, a kilometer away, also witnessed all of this. Everyone shook their heads in disappointment. Their biggest reliance, the array, had just collapsed. Logan and the three others were done for, undoubtedly about to be devoured by the million demon beasts.

Although they should have been secretly delighted, none of the three thousand could muster any joy. Perhaps they were thinking along the lines of ‘one man’s sorrow is another’s sorrow.’ If Logan’s side perished, they would be next in line.

Ba Ke Yun was also fearful. Facing countless attacking beasts, he marched forward while shouting at Logan, “Hurry and retreat, the farther away, the better. I’ll stay behind and cover for you. Don’t hesitate anymore.”

“No, if we are to go, we go together.” Shangguan Bowe’s face was already pale. Normally, he should have left just like that. His usual character meant he would have already fled.

However, after interacting with Logan, he had formed a deep bond with him and seemed to have grown up overnight. He truly regarded Logan as a friend, so even in fear, he was unwilling to leave alone. Even he himself didn’t understand, was he really a man of deep affection and loyalty?

The anxious Big Man also stepped forward. “Young Master, you must go quickly. You must survive. I will stay behind and cover for you. The million demon beasts aren’t a game. The four of us could be devoured in the blink of an eye. The whole sect is counting on you to survive in the future. You can’t get hurt here.”

PThe million demon beasts were only about five hundred meters away from the four of them. The beasts were incredibly fast, and it seemed like in just a few more moments, they would flatten the area around Logan. The whole mountain range was shaking, and everything around them, all the rocks and trees, were being swallowed up.

Logan remained calm. Despite the great crisis at hand, there was no fear or agitation on his face. He stood still, as if he had the million-strong army under control. This puzzled Ba Ke Yun on the side, who could only continue to urge Logan to leave quickly.

Ba Ke Yun gritted his teeth and charged at the beasts alone, “No matter what, what are a million demon beasts? My life was saved by Logan, and if I have to sacrifice it, I will to give Logan a chance of survival.”

Logan laughed, and then he drew a few strokes in the air. Ten thousand spirit stones fell from the sky, rotating ceaselessly, their dazzling golden light dispelling all darkness. The million demon beasts, previously unstoppable, halted in fear at this sight.

“How could my array sink just like that?” Logan remarked. “The beast’s first strike activated the array. Previously, it was as stable as Mount Tai, but the array hadn’t been activated yet. Let’s see the true power of the array.”

The ten thousand spirit stones revolved and formed into a celestial prison. In a moment, they moved along the seven stars and Bagua, just like stars falling from the sky. The array was being rebuilt.

If the previous array was a defensive ring, the current array seemed to be equipped with an array spirit.

The next moment, each of the Spirit Stones transformed into an attacking Law. Each time a demon beast approached, a terrifying Law’s Force would roll over it, as if intending to destroy everything nearby. It even seemed to be devouring the existing Spiritual Energy in the Heaven and Earth, enhancing the level of the array.

The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast paused and howled in frustration at the sight of the million demon beasts not daring to advance. As a last resort, it lent a hand itself and smashed a ruthless palm strike, one that crossed a kilometer and was stronger than the previous onslaught.

However, the spirit stones of the array turned into a net, catching his strike and trapping it, rendering his powerful blow immobile. The demonic beast tried to pull back his blow, but even with the force of the Saint’s Seat, it was all in vain. He could even sense a bit of Law’s Force continually devouring his core energy.

Fear wrapped him. He couldn’t understand what kind of array this was. Only a true Sacred Throne could have created this masterpiece. He was only at the dominating realm, a mere step away from being a Saint’s Seat. But the gap was too vast, and right now, he was as helpless as a tiny ant.

“Terrifying. I’ve learned my lesson again.” Shangguan Bowe was dumbfounded, almost as if he was seeing a great power for the first time. To think that Logan, who was only at a transcendent tier, had arranged an array that even a Half-step Saint’s Seat could not defeat. That was a testament to Logan’s strength.

At this point, he only had one thought: fortunately, he was not Logan’s enemy. The two of them can be considered friends. And as for the other three thousand who were ignorant, they didn’t even have the qualification to stay in Logan’s array. This made him more certain about one thing: never underestimate anyone again.

Ba Ke Yun also heaved a sigh of relief, filled with mixed emotions. “That scared me to death. I actually thought the array was truly broken. But it turns out it was just a diversion. If you had made it clear earlier, I would not have been preparing to fight the demon beasts to the death.”

In Logan’s heart, during his narrow escape from death, his companions had proven their loyalty when faced with a matter of life and death, earning his recognition. Especially Shangguan Bowe, who didn’t abandon them to save himself and chose to stay with them. At least for that moment, Shangguan Bowe was ready to die.

After all, it was a swarm of a million demon beasts. How many people could remain calm? Even if it was a matter of life and death and among close friends, there was no guarantee that they would show their true nature during hardships. People are unpredictable: without a life-and-death situation, everything is opaque. In this horrible world of cultivation, there are too few kind people.

Logan remained calm and composed and laughed, “As I said, relax. Just wait in the array confidently. Nothing will happen. Does a minion-like half-step Saint’s Seat really think it can break my array?”

Even if a Saint’s Seat arrived, this array could still withstand it for 15 minutes. This was where Logan’s confidence lay. Although the power of the beasts was stronger than that of general cultivators, in regard to understanding of the divine skills and application of arrays, the beasts were indeed quite lacking. They naturally proved to be quite dull.

The Half-step Saint’s Seat Demon Beast traversed a thousand miles in one step, using its strong body as a divine weapon. The force that was dragging its step mid-air hit hard against Logan’s Spirit Stone Array. However, in the next moment, its whole body became immobile. Even though it had augmented its bloodline power to the extreme and had already broken the limit of the realm, these tiny ten thousand spirit stones persistently eroded its power.

Without the chance to use various capabilities and divine skills for ten minutes against them, the half-step Saint’s Seat Demon Beast finally panicked. The horrifying scream it emitted echoed through the sky, it was plunged into endless regret: it shouldn’t have provoked Logan and his companions in the first place.
