Chapter 19: Formation Broken
Hundreds of people had already died after triggering the Array!
The majority of them turned into ashes.
Among them, there was even the entire force of a Sun-level Sect!
This caused many people to begin feeling fear and to give up.
"Enough, having gathered all the forces of our Sect, we have only managed to break through one or two barriers in the end. It’s meaningless. Let’s give up earlier.”
"It’s too difficult. An Array left by a Supreme Monarch can only be overcome by those who already possess equivalent strength; otherwise, it’s as hard as reaching the heavens!”
"We might as well wait for those major powers to break through the Array. Maybe then, we can have a taste of the spoils!”
Many Sects gave up, surrounding the perimeter as onlookers.
The fastest at breaking through were Dragon Profound Sect and Immortal Melody Pavilion.
"As expected of Immortal Melody Pavilion, they have already broken through over a dozen barriers!”"Dragon Profound Sect is also very impressive. Are those two from the royal lineage of Fire Country? They seem to possess Eye Techniques originating from the Supreme Monarch Lihuo!”
Everyone was discussing animatedly.
Now, both major Sects had attracted everyone’s attention.
"What? Which Sect is that? They’ve continuously broken through three barriers!”
At this time, some were also shocked as they looked in a particular direction.
Many people turned their gaze that way.
There, it was Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui, among others.
The Array talents of Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui weren’t high, but her Saint Fire Eyes were incredibly bizarre!
Not a single detail of the Array escaped her observation.
Thus, it was as if walking on level ground!
…
"We’re nearing the final barrier!”
At Immortal Melody Pavilion, Ling Xian was now sweating profusely!
Even with the constant sound of the qin music behind him, he struggled to suppress the agitation in his heart.
The last barrier, emanating orange flames, appeared like an insurmountable wall of fire!
The Array Plate in Ling Xian’s hands was nearly cracked!
"The last barrier!”
Ling Xian roared in anger, pouring all his Spiritual Power into the Array Plate!
Green light radiated from the Array Plate, reaching towards the orange firewall!
"Boom––”
In an instant, the orange fierce flames ignited the green light and surged back along it!
"Crack!”
The Array Plate turned directly to powder!
"No!”
Ling Xian was horrified, his soul almost scattered in terror!
The next moment, the flames engulfed him!
Had Ling Xian perished?
"Young Master Ling!”
Qing Luo’s pretty face changed drastically. Ling Xian was from Taiyan Holy Land, and if something happened to him, it would be terrible.
But, the next moment, a light burst forth from the flames, stopped shortly after, and turned out to be Ling Xian!
He was pale, with a trace of blood on his lips, and said,
“The last barrier is too strong, impossible to pass through!”
"Had it not been for a Lifeblood Talisman given by the Sect, I would have likely fallen here.”
Hearing this, Qing Luo finally relaxed.
"It’s good that you are unharmed, Young Master. As for this final barrier, if we really can’t get through, then we shouldn’t force it.”
As she spoke, she looked towards the Dragon Profound Sect area.
Now that they had failed, all hope was on Dragon Profound Sect.
As long as Dragon Profound Sect could break through, they could follow in afterward, but as per the unwritten rule, the treasures within would all be chosen by Dragon Profound Sect first.
The onlookers outside were all watching Dragon Profound Sect closely.
"It’s too hard, even Immortal Melody Pavilion has failed.”
"Now our only hope is Dragon Profound Sect. If they can’t do it, then none of our Sects will be able to enter.”
"I hope they can!”
All eyes were focused.
At the area where Dragon Profound Sect was located.
They had also reached the front of the final barrier.
At that moment, Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei had exchanged the Xuanhuo Ring several times.
If it weren’t for them being able to switch off and the fact that Dragon Profound Sect’s powerhouses had given them various pills to restore their energy, they would have already been at their limit.
Even so, they were still reaching their limits.
"No, I can’t hold on any longer…”
Huo Xuanfei’s hand was shining with the Xuanhuo Ring, but she still fainted heavily, stumbling to the ground!
Solely by glancing at the last barrier, she almost became mentally deranged.
Seeing this, Long Ziying’s eyebrows slightly furrowed and said,
“If we can successfully break through this barrier, I will ask the Sect for a Cultivation Technique for both of you!”
A Cultivation Technique!
"Let me do it!”
Huo Mingxuan immediately gritted his teeth and said.
His Bright Fire Eyes were slightly stronger than Huo Xuanfei’s.
Wearing the Xuanhuo Ring, he exerted all his strength, and the flames in his eyes intensified to their peak, almost on the verge of collapsing.
He barely managed to see the pattern and lines of the firewall…
He was about to speak, but then he let out a scream of agony!
Huo Mingxuan’s eyes were bleeding, and the Xuanhuo Ring on his hand was glowing red and scorching hot, burning his flesh to the point of rot!
"Backlash!”
An elder hurried forward to protect Huo Mingxuan’s heart meridian!
"Saintess, there’s no way out now…”
Elder Zhao also spoke to Long Ziying, his face weary.
Long Ziying’s brows were tightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Could this really be the end?
The crowd outside was also buzzing with discussion.
"Even the Dragon Profound Sect has failed…”
"For a Supreme Realm Secret Realm, you’d need at least a Mahayana Powerhouse, or even a Venerable, to have any hope, right?”
"It seems that this time, we’ve come up empty.”
"No chance left… alas…”
Everyone was speaking up.
"Someone is still attempting to break through!”
Just then, a loud shout rang out.
Everyone turned their eyes toward the direction indicated by the shout!
"Is it them?!”
Long Ziying was taken aback by what she saw in the Dragon Profound Sect’s area.
It was none other than Fire Spirit and her group!
Immortal Melody Pavilion, Qing Luo, and Ling Xian were also paying attention.
"Impressive, they’ve managed to break through over a dozen challenges…”
Ling Xian muttered to himself.
At this moment, Fire Spirit and her group were the center of everyone’s attention.
Fire Spirit’s face was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
In her eyes, a pale golden flame was continuously burning!
With the Saint Fire Eyes, she realized that even though she was not proficient in arrays, she could still sense the flaws within them!
It was a kind of natural rhythm.
Thus, they quickly arrived at the final challenge!
"Hiss!”
The crowd outside inhaled sharply.
"Isn’t that the Lihuo Sect? A small Star-ranked force, along with the Third Princess of the Fire Country, able to match the achievements of two Supreme forces?”
"That’s just unbelievable…”
"No simple task, this definitely isn’t just a small Star-ranked force!”
Everyone was talking.
In the Dragon Profound Sect, Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, who had stabilized, were even more shocked upon seeing this.
Fire Spirit was actually capable of leading the people of the Lihuo Sect so far?
How could this be possible!
They knew that the Xuanhuo Ring had already been taken by them!
Where did Fire Spirit get such power?
"This can’t be possible…”
The siblings were murmuring to themselves.
"It seems that her Eye Technique’s cultivation level is even above you two,”
Long Ziying said lightly, remembering the scene when she first saw Fire Spirit.
Back then, she had thought that Fire Spirit’s eyes were glaring because of the Xuanhuo Ring she wore, but now it seemed that Fire Spirit had such exceptional cultivation!
She had been mistaken!
"Her? She’s nothing but a lowly maid! With her, daring to foolishly dream of breaking through? She’s courting death!”
Huo Xuanfei mocked coldly, unwilling to believe it.
…
"Sister Ling’er, can you do it?”
Mu Qianning asked nervously.
She could feel that Fire Spirit was very exhausted.
At this moment, she remembered the first time she met Senior Li.
Even the terrifying invisible flames had to actively avoid Senior Li. If he were here, any formidable array would be like walking on flat ground!
Unfortunately, how could Senior Li care about a mere Supreme Secret Realm?
"I’ll try!”
Fire Spirit took a deep breath as she faced the final wall of fire!
She calmed her mind.
At that instant, she recalled the images of the great suns she had seen in Senior Li’s courtyard…
Each sun seemed to represent the most powerful force in the world…
In her eyes, the pale golden flame seemed to transform into the sun itself.
She stared at the wall of fire for a long time!
After a while, she suddenly reached out and drew a door on the wall of fire!
And the flames… they didn’t hurt her!
When she finished drawing the door, the entire wall of fire disappeared in an instant!
The array was broken!
