Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 162: The Human-Slaughtering Array

The Wood Elemental was shattered by the Fire Elemental. The flames continued burning the Wood Elemental, who roared in pain. However, these were domain-level flames. They carried the power of the domain and could not be extinguished easily. Moreover, the flames were even more powerful!

As soon as the Wood Elemental died, Wei Huo relaxed even more. He did not need to fight the two monsters head-on. He only needed to exhaust them. Wei Huo’s domain was very solid. He had a Dao pattern. Although he had been battling the two monsters for over 10 hours, his domain still did not shrink.

However, the range of the two monsters’ domains had shrunk by two-thirds. They were injured repeatedly, but there was no Wood Elemental to use the Rejuvenation Skill on them.

After a day and 36 hours, Wei Huo finally killed them.

Wei Huo at last entered the 60th level and saw five late-stage Legendary-level Elemental Monsters: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Elementals! Every single one of them was a Level-230 Monster!

Wei Huo retreated without another word. He was not that powerful after defeating five Legendary-level late-stage monsters.

The Nagas let out a sigh of relief when they saw Wei Huo leave the steeple. Their hearts had been in their throats when they’d seen Wei Huo reach the 60th floor. They had been afraid that Wei Huo would succeed and sweep the tower away.

In the end, Wei Huo only stayed on the 60th floor for a few seconds before exiting. The reward for the 59th floor was soon settled. Wei Huo was given a Legendary soul gem and seven level beads.

These level beads were not simple. This was explained in the introduction. “+1 level with each usage below Level 100.”

If this item was sold at an auction, it would cause a huge uproar!

The auction hall had been built by the players. On the day of the opening, they had used the continent’s megaphone to shout for three hours. This place was called Treasure Pavilion. Almost every player in the Dragon-Soaring Continent knew about this auction.

The main reason was that it had been very strongly advertised. The loudspeaker had kept shouting for three hours, diverting the players’ attention. In the end, they had been killed by the monsters.

This had made some players hate this auction.

Wei Huo looked at the seven level beads and mumbled to himself, “I might reach Level 100 in a few months.”

System Number Two poured cold water on him. “You’re overthinking it. Because it’s your first time rushing into the tower, you were rewarded with something good. From the second time onward, obtaining a level bead will be good enough. Don’t even think about Legendary gems.”

Wei Huo was not dejected. He looked at the steeple seriously and said, “This is a great opportunity to temper my domain. Just based on the battle that occurred now, there are many places worth remembering. I want to stay here and focus on my cultivation to become stronger!”

Almost all living beings had the desire to become stronger. Everyone wanted to become stronger because strength would allow them to easily obtain everything they wanted.

Wei Huo planned to stay there for a long time and go to the tower every month.

However, at that moment, the Naga’s Great Ancestor suddenly shouted, “Human-Slaughtering Array, open!”

Soon, Wei Huo heard a long dragon’s roar. A five-colored divine light appeared around him, and the Naga surrounding the steeple retreated immediately. Small flags were stuck in the ground around the steeple 10 meters apart from each other. The flags started glowing red, and a huge red circle surrounded the city. Wei Huo was in the center. The red circle was very conspicuous on the dim ground.

This was a Human-Slaughtering Array that had been set up by the Naga when Wei Huo had charged into the tower. They had been waiting for Wei Huo to come out.

Survival was the most basic need of a civilization. Wei Huo was a Legendary-level creature and belonged to the same kind as the peerless savage. No Naga would be able to stop him if he attacked. To avoid being attacked passively, the Naga had thought that they might as well take the initiative to attack. Besides, they did not want Wei Huo to successfully charge into the tower and leave with the pagoda.

That was why they had set up an array formation and waited for Wei Huo to come out. They would kill or suppress Wei Huo with the help of the array formation to ensure the safety of the Naga.

It was better to become cruel than to beg the enemy for mercy!

Wei Huo left the pagoda and stood in the air. He looked at the circle around him and knew that it was a formation specially set up to deal with him. He had learned the Luck Severance Skill before and knew that most arrays were circular. However, Wei Huo did not know how powerful the Human-Slaughtering Array was.

Still, he did not panic at all. He knew very well that this was his personal calamity. As a Legendary creature, he could suppress his luck. Once his luck grew stronger, there would naturally be a calamity. As long as he could survive it, he would obtain huge benefits!

Lightning surrounded Wei Huo’s body. He lifted his head and looked at the sky. A moment later, lightning flashed and the sound of thunder came from the sky. He leaped up and charged toward the Great Ancestor, who was controlling the array.

At the same moment that Wei Huo leaped out, the Great Ancestor and 72 Nagas chanted mysterious incantations. The incantations were deep, as if they were whispering evil words from the abyss.

The red circle emitted a dazzling red light. This red light shot toward Wei Huo like a red laser. Wei Huo sensed the scorching aura of the red light and dodged it. However, the red laser hit the barrier on the other side and split into two laser beams. One of the laser beams hit another barrier, while the other shot toward Wei Huo. Their power did not decrease at all.

Wei Huo frowned. He had already understood the Human-Slaughtering Array’s methods. When a laser beam shot out, he dodged it. In the end, the entire array was filled with laser beams. The enemy could not avoid them. They could either be shot to death or die of exhaustion!

What a powerful array!

Wei Huo leaped and threw something with his hand. It was a bronze mirror. The mirror intercepted a laser beam, but another laser beam hit him. A small hole was pierced through his arm and blood flowed out.

The Great Ancestor flew into the sky and took out a small bronze cauldron. He threw it out and it landed on Wei Huo’s head. As it descended, it grew larger and expanded more than ten times.

The small bronze cauldron became even larger and landed on Wei Huo’s shoulder. The cauldron was extremely heavy. It was hundreds of times heavier than the bronze cauldron Wei Huo had previously obtained. Besides, this cauldron had a suctioning force that made it difficult for Wei Huo to escape.

The Great Ancestor shouted, “Human-Slaughtering Array, activate!”

Nine red laser beams were fired from the barrier in the Human-Slaughtering Array. The nine red laser beams did not hit Wei Huo directly. Instead, they hit the barrier and split into 18 beams. Then, they split into 36 beams. In the end, they split into 72 laser beams and aimed at Wei Huo. His head, limbs, heart, and throat were all targeted by the laser beams.

This was indeed a Human-Slaughtering Array. It wanted to kill Wei Huo!

Wei Huo picked up the cauldron and smiled coldly. “You guys really think I’m a beast.”
