You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Outside the great array, the sky had already turned dark.

The rumble of thunder rolled among the dark clouds, and terrifying lightning, like roaming dragons, tore through the sky, converging into a giant thunderous tree that crashed down upon the array, igniting flashes of lightning fire.

Moreover, a large number of space ripples formed blade-like patterns that continually slashed down upon the array.

The dispirited middle-aged Fourteenth Prince floated outside the array, summoning thunderstrike after thunderstrike, launching a frenzied attack on various parts of the array.

Duke Heng, with an old and decrepit appearance, stood among the clouds, his walking stick creating spatial ripples one after another.

"Yuan Jun."

The Fourteenth Prince couldn't help but look towards the stunning woman nearby, resembling a Moon Palace Fairy, and asked with a frown, "What is the situation inside? How much longer will it take to break through?"

"He's fine," replied the cool voice of Bixu Yuan Jun. "Give it another fifteen minutes or so."

"He's fine?"

The Fourteenth Prince found it hard to believe. "Even if Phoenix Crown Qing has gone in, at most he can only hold off Prince Cheng. The Bone Demon Master is also a genius of the Heavenly Reversal Path into Saint. How can my Seventeenth Brother possibly hold him off?"

He knew that his Seventeenth Brother was currently the number one genius of the Human Clan, a rarity in the history of Great Yong with the Eighth Layer strength of Tianxia Building.

But even so, with Divine Artifacts and Semi-Divine Artifacts at his disposal, he could at best contend with ordinary Saintly beings, so how could he possibly fight against the notoriously fearsome Bone Demon Master of the Demon Path?

At first, upon hearing part of Lin Yue's plan, he thought Lin Yue had other helpers, but to think it was only Phoenix Crown Qing?

"If you really can't rest easy, you can use more Divine Power."

Bixu Yuan Jun glanced at him and said, "With that kind of might, about thirty-five drops of Divine Power should be enough to quickly break the array."

The Fourteenth Prince was stunned, and helplessly shook his head, "I don't have that much Divine Power."

He had only been born two or three hundred years ago, and taking into account the Divine Power he had already consumed, he had less than ten drops in total.

Just now, in order to cooperate with Phoenix Crown Qing and pressure the array, he had already used two drops of Divine Power, but after those two moves, the potency of his Divine Power was exhausted, and even if he used up the rest, he could not break the array.

If thirty-five more drops were needed to break it, his Divine Power could only shorten the progress of the remaining fraction.

While he was prepared to pay any price to deal with the Twelfth Prince, it shouldn't be wasted wantonly.

His own strength came from an Inner Heaven and Earth, which was considered infinitely enduring, only slower than Divine Power.

Since Bixu Yuan Jun said it was fine, he decided to save his Divine Power for after the array was broken, just in case.

Yet, he still couldn't fathom how his Seventeenth Brother had managed it.

Even with several Heavenly Reversal Paths, it was impossible to stop the Bone Demon Master, unless...

The Fourteenth Prince suddenly paused, thinking of a possibility, and couldn't help but send a Divine Thought Transmission: "Has my Seventeenth Brother already grasped parts of the Ultimate Path? So that he can contend with the Bone Demon Master?"

He had heard that both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had grasped parts of the Ultimate Path in the past, and just during the Great Cultivator period, with Divine Artifacts and Semi-Divine Artifacts, they could match the Heavenly Reversal Path into Saint beings!

But the Ultimate Path was, after all, a legend; even being close to it was unimaginably rare.

Looking across the entirety of Great Yong, only the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had succeeded in mastering it.

However, given how exceptional the Seventeenth Prince was and how he was prized by the Crown Prince and Second Prince, perhaps it was indeed possible?

"Part of the Ultimate Path?"

Bixu Yuan Jun's gaze was somewhat strange, and she remained silent for a moment, looking at the Fourteenth Prince, unsure of what to say.

She was an Immortal of the Array Path into Saint, the only one who could see through the array to understand the situation inside, and she had naturally witnessed Lin Yue's performance.

Contend with the Bone Demon Master?

It was a monster that had slain the Bone Demon Master with a single blow...

She couldn't understand how such an incredible being could exist in the world; the only explanation was the true Ultimate Path.

"Prince Zhen."

Duke Heng spoke up, "The Seventeenth Prince has always been meticulous. If he wasn't confident enough, Your Highness wouldn't have gone through with it."

"That's also true," replied the Fourteenth Prince, who chose not to speak further, privately sighing in admiration.

The youngster who once needed Master Tianyun to ask him for protection had grown so powerful in the blink of an eye...

If Master Tianyun could see this, how gratified he would be...

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Bixu Yuan Jun's expression shifted slightly, her brows furrowed, and through Divine Thought Transmission, she said, "The Twelfth Prince actually has an Ancient Divine Emperor Tribulation bone? Integrated into his right hand?"

"Emperor Tribulation Bone?" The Fourteenth Prince's face also changed.

Bones of the Ancient Gods could, if wielded properly, be nearly as powerful as Semi-Divine Artifacts and even used as materials for forging Divine Artifacts.

Now that the Emperor Tribulation Bone had appeared, could it be that the situation was about to turn around?

"Prince!"

Bixu Yuan Jun's gaze changed again. "Was the Prince actually lurking in the shadows all along?"

"What?" The Fourteenth Prince was shocked.

The Bone Demon Master, along with two Princes—such an array of forces would force even him to flee, and if he was within the array, he would not last long.

With the Seventeenth Prince's strength, wasn't death inevitable?

...

Inside the array.

"Prince!"

As soon as the Heart Demon's eerie phantom-like shadow appeared, a mysterious and terrible power burst forth.

In an instant, wraiths of fog formed by the Heart Demon enveloped Lin Yue.

Simultaneously, part of the Heart Demons condensed into a man dressed in imperial attire, with thick, pitch-black eyebrows and a pair of profound eyes exuding an indescribable allure—it was none other than the Prince.

"Seventeenth Brother, you truly are astonishing, but... meet your death."
