Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

"You all leave first; this fellow will be handled by me."

"Rest assured, I'll leave him with a breath left."

Gu Haitang frowned slightly as her Divine Sense swept the area. By now, inside the Wu Family Mansion, no one from the Wu Family was left alive.

Only that Saint Heir controlling the Array inside the main hall was still hopping around!

And it seemed he had already started activating the grand Array!

Even she, at the True Monarch Realm, could feel that this Array was terrifying. Although it wasn't a threat to her life, it was certainly extraordinary.

Now that the primary goal had been achieved, it was time to arrange for Gu Changge to head to a safe area.

To avoid any mishaps within this grand Array.

"Then I'll have to trouble Ancestor with this!"

Gu Changge was not polite in his request; he hadn't even spared a moment to see how many Attribute Points he had harvested in this wave.

Currently, being inside the Array gave him a rather uncomfortable feeling.

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Family Ancestor immediately planned to take a few people and withdraw from the range of the Array!

Upon reaching the red light barrier above their heads, she struck hard with her palm.

'Hum—'

The barrier rippled layer upon layer, like a stone thrown into water.

Yet, her one palm strike failed to break through the barrier at all!

"Within this grand Array, the force of Heaven and Earth is cut off..."

"Only able to borrow three tenths of the power from Heaven and Earth, yet unable to break through!?"

Gu Haitang was taken aback, having not expected the Array to withstand her strike and even seem to have plenty of room to spare!

Now they were in trouble!

Above the Sage Realm, the reason a practitioner's strength far exceeds that of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm is due to borrowing the force of Heaven and Earth.

Each action carries the might to destroy heaven and obliterate earth!

But now, with the force of Heaven and Earth cut off, she feared she wouldn't be able to break the Array for some time.

The grand Array, which covered dozens of miles, had now been completely activated.

Blood Pearls were drifting up and down throughout Heaven and Earth.

It was as if they were about to form something!

"This is bad... Do not leave the Barrier; I will go slay this person."

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Gu Haitang decided to place several individuals at the edge of the grand Array and set up multiple layers of Barriers. Then, in an instant, she moved directly toward the Array Eye!

If she could slay Saint Jiang Li, who was controlling the Array, the Array would naturally collapse on its own!

The three Sages Jian Chen, took their places directly at three corners of the Barrier.

Protecting the young master and Gu Kuang in the center to avoid any accidents.

"There's no need for you to exert yourself; just focus on adjusting your body."

Seeing the old man also preparing to stand guard for him, Gu Changge immediately spoke up to stop him.

"Alright..."

Facing his great-grandson's concerned gaze, Gu Kuang agreed helplessly, thinking he was becoming useless.

It was just one battle, and now he couldn't even protect his great-grandson.

Instead, his great-grandson had to protect him; one can't fight the aging process...

In an instant, Gu Haitang's figure had already reached the Array Eye!

As she pointed, the True Monarch Dharma Image behind her made the same move!

However, Saint Jiang Li, situated at the Array Eye, faced this terrifying strike with a mocking look in his eyes.

With the grand Array now complete, and because Gu Changge had slain so many from the Wu Family, the Array's effects were even better than he had anticipated!

To think of slaying him while he was in the Array Eye was a fool's dream!

"Now... no one can escape."

"Ha ha, hahaha... You will all be my funeral offerings, all must die, all must die..."

Saint Jiang Li shouted madly, while also speeding up the activation of the Array.

That one strike upon the grand hall where he was didn't harm him in the slightest, nor did it even collapse the building.

Even the self-destruction of a Sage Realm practitioner just now hadn't affected him at all!

Now, the land of the Wu Family was bare, and the only remaining building was this grand hall at the Array Eye, thanks to the earlier Sage Realm self-destruction!

While activating the Array, the deep red Array lines on the ground suddenly began bubbling.

That dark red blood seemed to boil and slowly converged into the sky!

Seeing this, Gu Haitang frowned slightly and scattered the converging blood with a wave of Spiritual Energy.

But it was to no effect.

The dissipated Essence Blood acted like living creatures in the sky, gathering back together on its own.

Gradually, the Essence Blood from the Wu Family members merged to form an Ancient Fierce Beast!

"Qiongqi?"

Gu Haitang paused, looking at the Ancient Fierce Beast formed completely from Essence Blood and pure Spiritual Energy, and couldn't help but feel a headache forming.

The pressure emitted by that Fierce Beast far surpassed that of an ordinary Sage Realm, and was faintly approaching the level of the True Monarch Realm!

Seeing that the beast had fully formed, Gu Haitang had no choice but to summon her own Magic Treasure and strike directly!

Thus, she split the creature in two!

But before she could enjoy her triumph, the two masses of black-red Essence Blood turned into two Fierce Beasts identical to the first!

"Troublesome..."

Gu Haitang could only mutter with a frown.

She also noticed that the Array lines had transformed into bloodlines, linking to the bodies of the two Ancient Beasts.

Constantly enhancing their strength, and if given enough time, it might even erupt with power fully comparable to the True Monarch Realm!

That would be a real problem!

Watching Gu Haitang deal with the Qiongqi formed from Essence Blood, Saint Jiang Li just laughed maniacally.

He was also continuously absorbing the Essence Blood and Spiritual Energy through the Array Eye.
