# Chapter 2746: Dark Array Diagram
The War God General's divine body was a full twenty meters tall, pitch black all over, with metallic luster flowing across his skin.
He strode forward, his tone deep and angry: "I never expected that the relationship between Goddess Bore and Zhang Ruochen would be so close. They must have known each other a thousand years ago, right?"
"Is Goddess Bore a cultivator from the Kunlun Realm, or perhaps the Heavenly Court?"
The sudden appearance of three deities caught Zhang Ruochen and Bore off guard.
Zhang Ruochen's gaze fell upon the Dark Array Diagram floating above Wujiang's head.
The formation inscriptions were profound and mysterious, impossible to decipher, able to merge with space and align with heaven and earth.
Under Wujiang's divine realm cultivation, the power unleashed by this diagram had already surpassed what Zhang Ruochen could comprehend. It was an extraordinary treasure of no small significance.
Seeing the expressions on Zhang Ruochen and Bore's faces, Wujiang felt the resentment that had been suppressed for a thousand years finally dissipate.
Then, he revealed a slightly smug smile: "A thousand years ago, this god was toyed with in the palm of Your Highness's hand. Truly impressive methods."
"But now, does Your Highness understand a certain principle?"
"What principle?" Bore asked.
Wujiang's eyes darkened: "Don't treat all the heroes under heaven as fools. Otherwise, the foolish one will be you."
Bore suppressed her chaotic thoughts for the moment and said: "I indeed underestimated you. That you could surpass Yan Huangtu and Luo Sheng Tian and achieve what you have today is no accident. However, so far, you've only won one move in this game. No one knows who will laugh last."
Wujiang seemed unconcerned.
With his powerful cultivation, he had the right to look down on Zhang Ruochen and Bore, who were still in the Saint realm.
Wujiang strolled along the banks of the Santu River and said: "To be honest, this god doesn't really care about Your Highness's past."
"Your Highness should know that this god has always admired you, even once harbored feelings for you. If Your Highness would personally kill Zhang Ruochen and agree to become this god's woman, then this god can pretend he heard nothing today."
What he wanted was not to expose Bore or destroy her.
But to possess her, even control her.
To turn a goddess into his slave, completely under his command—just thinking about it made Wujiang's blood boil with excitement, giving him a sense of vengeance fulfilled.
Zhang Ruochen's gaze turned cold as ice: "The grudges from the Heaven Hunting Battlefield back then were merely a competition for racial rankings, each serving their own master, each doing their own thing. They don't count as personal enmity."
"But today, your words have angered me."
Wujiang's eyes were mocking: "If this god hadn't broken through to a new realm, seeing you angry and furious might have made me fear a little. But now, your anger and fury only make me happier—happy at your weakness, happy at my strength. Happy at your helplessness, happy at my complete control. Haha!"
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General stood beside Wujiang, opening his mouth full of sharp teeth: "Goddess Bore, do you accept True God Wujiang's conditions or not? This is your only chance. Think carefully before you answer!"
The Fate Judgment Staff in Bore's hand glowed with bright Fate Light patterns: "No need to think. As long as I kill you all, no one will know about today's events!"
"Truly ungrateful." Nine-Toothed Wolf God General snorted.
Wujiang was very calm: "No matter. A goddess who doesn't submit is a true goddess. Once we capture her, we won't need to ask for her consent!"
"Whoosh!"
Wujiang moved with his divine thought.
The Dark Array Diagram expanded, turning into a pitch-black sky that enveloped Zhang Ruochen and Bore.
Dense formation inscriptions emerged from the diagram.
In an instant, the scene before Zhang Ruochen and Bore changed completely. There was no Santu River, no Qiyuan Sacred City—only endless darkness and iron-like mountains beneath the dark sky.
Empty, deathly, gloomy.
It was a world constructed by the Dark Array Diagram.
Wujiang's vast divine voice resounded throughout the entire world: "This diagram was refined by my senior brother, Divine Alchemist Dan Ling. It can seal the heavens and hide the earth, isolating all perception from the world. Zhang Ruochen, don't hope that deities from the Blood Absolute Family will come to save you!"
"Bore, do you think this god really needed to wait until entering the Santu River to make a move against Zhang Ruochen? How could a mere Saint realm cultivator understand the means of a deity?"
"Attack!"
In the hollow and freezing darkness, War God General suddenly stomped down from above Zhang Ruochen and Bore.
His foot was as large as a mountain, containing boundless divine power.
The pressure rolled like thunder.
Before the foot arrived, the wind force formed by Rule Divine Patterns had already turned into thousands of sharp blades, scattering in all directions, striking the protective field around Zhang Ruochen and Bore.
In Zhang Ruochen's arm, a deafening dragon roar erupted, and strands of Divine Flame flowed at his fingertips.
"Boom!"
He struck out with a palm, dispersing all the Rule Divine Patterns, colliding with War God General's foot.
War God General let out a muffled groan, his massive divine body retreating far away. The foot struck by Zhang Ruochen's palm ached and trembled slightly.
He had only heard that Zhang Ruochen once wounded Divine General Mo Hai of the Death God Temple with a single sword strike, but he considered himself much stronger than Mo Hai, so he hadn't taken Zhang Ruochen seriously.
But after this exchange, he realized how wrong he was.
"Awooo!"
A wolf howl reached Zhang Ruochen and Bore's ears.
The sound contained a strange attack power that could assault a cultivator's Sacred Soul.
Zhang Ruochen's Sacred Soul was so strong that no one below the divine realm could compare. Yet even he felt his Sacred Soul sting from this wolf howl, nearly flying out of his body.
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General appeared on a mountain peak, divine lightning covering the ground beneath his feet. His divine might was far greater than War God General's by more than a notch: "Zhang Ruochen is, after all, the Mortal World Myth. Let this god kill him. You deal with Goddess Bore."
As he spoke, Nine-Toothed Wolf God General stomped hard, and a thick electric python spread out, crossing dozens of miles to strike at Zhang Ruochen.
It came with ferocious momentum.
Like a divine beast python attacking, its head ferocious, tongue flicking.
Zhang Ruochen had already learned from Gu She Huanhuan that Nine-Toothed Wolf God General had refined the Divine Source of a Upper-Level God. Moreover, that Upper-Level God had survived the First Eon Calamity while alive.
Thus, the divine power quantity and quality contained in Nine-Toothed Wolf God General's Divine Source far surpassed that of ordinary False Gods.
Among False Gods, he was a first-rate expert, ranked in the second tier of the lower three tiers.
As long as one wasn't in the third tier—the lowest of the lower three—they were considered first-rate among False Gods. Because the lowest-tier False Gods made up over ninety percent of all False Gods.
False Gods of other levels were very rare.
As for Middle Three Tier and Upper Three Tier False Gods, they were few and far between, rare in the world, with combat power that could rival True Gods.
Zhang Ruochen became serious, releasing the Eternal Return Dao Domain and summoning the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror.
The Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror's light surged, turning into a brilliant bright moon that collided with the charging electric python. The python was absorbed into the mirror's surface.
Then, the electric python shot back out, attacking Nine-Toothed Wolf God General.
Surprise flickered in Nine-Toothed Wolf God General's eyes. He threw a punch, exploding the electric python, leaving electric patterns all over the ground below.
"The Mortal World Myth is somewhat interesting."
"Take this god's attack: Divine Wolf Ascends to Heaven."
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General released divine energy like rivers and seas from his body. Within the divine energy, countless Rule Divine Patterns interwove, forming the phantom of a thousand-zhang divine wolf.
The Rule Divine Patterns he released were far thicker than War God General's.
The thousand-zhang divine wolf phantom extended its claws, carrying lightning across the sky to attack Zhang Ruochen.
This was a divine ability.
"It's not just you who knows divine abilities. Watch my Blood Mill Embers."
Zhang Ruochen used the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror to protect his body, while both hands erupted with Purifying Divine Flame. Above his head, a sea of fire formed. Within the sea of fire, a blood-colored mill condensed, spinning rapidly to strike at the divine wolf's claws.
Blood Mill Embers had reached the tenth layer, which was the divine ability level.
Back when Xue Jue War God was in the Saint realm, the highest level he had cultivated was also the tenth layer. This was one of Xue Jue War God's signature techniques, so its power was naturally extraordinary.
"Boom!"
The blood mill shattered the wolf claws, pushing back both the divine wolf phantom and Nine-Toothed Wolf God General.
The blood mill then exploded, turning into Purifying Divine Flame that surrounded Nine-Toothed Wolf God General.
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General quickly stabilized his form, using divine energy to resist the burning of the Purifying Divine Flame, shocked inwardly: "What a formidable Zhang Ruochen! The temperature of his Purifying Divine Flame must have exceeded a million degrees. How is this still Saint realm power?"
"Only False Gods who specialize in the path of flame can reach this level."
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General spat out a mouthful of Profound Cold Death Qi, extinguishing the Purifying Divine Flame, and said coldly: "Zhang Ruochen, you do have some skill. But the gap between Goddess Bore and a False God is still very large. She can't withstand a False God's attack!"
Zhang Ruochen was indeed quite worried and looked toward Bore.
There.
War God General was throwing a punch, his fist the size of a millstone, containing powerful divine force, already within inches of Bore. Zhang Ruochen wanted to rescue her but it was too late.
Even a False God's punch—Bai Qinger, a Eon-level genius, couldn't withstand it. How could Bore?
Wujiang's pupils contracted, and he was about to remind War God General to spare Bore's life.
But then he saw Bore standing still, gently swinging the Fate Judgment Staff in her hand.
"Rustle, rustle!"
War God General's thrown punch seemed soft and weak, his towering divine body sent flying by the Fate Judgment Staff.
His fist, arm, torso, head, legs... turned one by one into grains of blood-red divine sand. Even his indestructible divine bones turned to sand.
In an instant, a False God turned into a pile of blood sand, leaving only a Divine Source flying into Bore's snow-white left palm.
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General and Wujiang were both stunned, unable to believe what they had just seen.
Nine-Toothed Wolf God General's Adam's apple bobbed up and down: "She... didn't she say her cultivation had a major flaw, that she couldn't break through to become a god?"
"Can you trust her words? She had already stepped into the divine realm long ago." Wujiang gritted his teeth, speaking coldly.
"That's right! Three years ago, after returning to the Destiny Temple, it didn't take me long to fully recover my cultivation. I then crossed the Divine Tribulation in one go and stepped into the divine realm."
Bore continued: "If my mind hadn't been so disturbed recently, how could you have found my weakness and tracked me here?"
