Chapter 559: The Calamity Is Here
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon hearing this system, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart stirred.
The task of crafting array eyes a hundred times was precisely what he was engaged in.
Moreover, the system did not specify the level of the array eyes, meaning he could work on any level, from the simplest to Level 5.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately stopped what he was doing and took out some other materials.
Upon successfully crafting a Level 1 array eye for the Nine Heavens Starfall Array, the system task progress jumped from 0% to 1%.
Sure enough, it worked.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan was delighted.
One had to know that with his current attainments in arrays, it did not take him much time to refine those low-level array eyes.
Encouraged by this, Jiang Chengxuan swiftly completed a hundred Level 1 array eyes in less than half a day.
[Ding.]
At the same time, the system notification sounded in his mind again. [Congratulations, host. You have completed 100 refinements of the array eye. You have obtained a chance to temporarily break through in array, and Eight Gates Heaven Lock Array Set.]
[Temporary Breakthrough Chance in Array: Upon use, the host’s array level can temporarily break through a major level.]
In other words, with Jiang Chengxuan’s current array cultivation, once he used this chance, his array cultivation would reach Level 6 in a short period of time. [Eight Gates Heaven Lock Array Set: A top-notch trapping array. It contains nine killing arrays, 18 illusion arrays, and 36 trapping arrays. When these arrays are gathered, they can unleash the power of a Level 6 trapping array.] Jiang Chengxuan had not expected such a generous reward from the system. Both the chance for a temporary breakthrough in array cultivation and the Eight Gates Locking Heaven Array were exceptional treasures.
Especially now, with the impending demon calamity, these rewards added two significant trump cards to his hand.
Coupled with the Level 6 Constellation Talisman he had previously obtained, he now possessed three Level 6 powers at his disposal. Although temporary, these powers could play a critical role in turning the tide of battle at crucial moments.
In the following time.
Jiang Chengxuan and others kept busy with tasks assigned by the Heavenly Lords.
Time flew by, and almost four years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this particular day.
Brilliant spiritual lights shot up into the sky over the Nova Waters.
Each light represented a grand array. When these arrays were fused together by an incredibly powerful force, countless stars fell from the nine heavens above.
A power so immense that it could make any cultivator tremble erupted.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Starfall Array, which they had spent nearly four years setting up in collaboration, was finally completed.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Tang Baisheng, and Perfected Lord Flowing Snow felt a profound sense of relief as the array was officially completed.
It felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts.
This relief also made them acutely aware that if they hadn’t set up the Nine Heavens Starfall Array, or if they hadn’t completed it before the arrival of the demon calamity, something terrifying might have happened.
In fact, their feelings were not wrong.
Shortly after they finished setting up the Nine Heavens Starfall Array, in the Nova Waters, especially around the area of Curved Sea, massive waves of dark light began to spread.
An extremely evil, cruel, and tyrannical aura suddenly surged from the black light.
Crack
Crackling sounds echoed as pitch-black cracks appeared out of nowhere in the sky above.
In an instant, endless demonic qi began to rapidly spread in all directions.
Witnessing this, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Tang Baisheng, and all the other cultivators’ pupils involuntarily contracted in shock.
A thought simultaneously flashed through their minds: The demon calamity had arrived!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At the same time.
Brilliant lights suddenly illuminated from various parts of the Nova Waters.
From a bird’s-eye view, it was evident that across the vast sea, numerous island-like orbs of light rapidly connected with each other, eventually forming a gigantic web-like light screen.
This was the sign of the Nine Heavens Star River Array being fully activated.
Countless black mists in the void began to evaporate and disintegrate, melting and dissolving rapidly under the intense light.
However, there were a few areas that the light of the Nine Heavens Star River Array did not cover.
In an instant, large swathes of black mist infiltrated the sea and spread in all directions.
“ROAR!”
“ROAR!”
“ROAR!”
Amidst the terror, numerous agonized and ferocious roars erupted.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others, standing within the array, quickly witnessed a startling scene..
