Chapter 507: Array within an array
After Luo Yuebai spoke, the space was eerily silent.
Su Jingzhen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It dawned on him that the Five Ghost Moving Mountains technique he had encountered at the entrance of the Evil Moon Sect was indeed the work of the Five Immortals under ‘Yin’.
The black hole that had swallowed them and transported them to this space seemed to have similarities with the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains technique.
If that was the case, it was very likely that the remaining four under the Second Elder were involved.
Niwan Palace’s divine consciousness remained activated, continuously probing the dark space.
Su Jingzhen’s heart remained calm.
His own Flesh Body Nascent Embryo second stage strength, along with Bai Suzhen at his waist, was enough to allow him to face any situation with composure.
The dark space offered no response.
Luo Yuebai’s expression became increasingly grim.However, they could clearly sense that the space around them was becoming increasingly tense.
“Boom!”
In the next instant, a silver-white bolt of lightning as thick as a child’s arm suddenly condensed in the void.
It flew directly towards Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai.
At that moment, the void seemed to turn crimson, and the temperature skyrocketed.
A stream of flames intertwined with lightning surged towards Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai. This was the power of thunder and fire.
In the cultivation world, thunder and fire were both formidable and destructive powers.
When combined, their power increased exponentially.
However, Su Jingzhen’s expression remained calm.
He looked at the approaching thunder and fire without making a move.
After all, Bai Suzhen had already formed a protective shield of white energy around them.
Although the thunder and fire were powerful, Su Jingzhen estimated that their strength was only at the level of Soul Formation.
However, it was still not enough to break through Bai Suzhen’s defense.
“Be careful!”
Facing this kind of attack, Luo Yuebai’s heart was extremely heavy.
If it were just her, she would have already tasted the taste of death from this thunder and fire power.
It happened so fast that the power of thunder and fire appeared and hit the light shield around them in an instant.
As Su Jingzhen had suspected.
The light shield condensed by Bai Suzhen remained motionless.
Not even the energy on it weakened in the slightest.
However, once the attack in the void began, it showed no intention of stopping.
In the void where Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness seemed to see no end, countless thunders and flames condensed again.
At that moment, the energy of the space they were in seemed to be boiling directly.
Before, it was just a trigger.
“Be careful! I can feel the power of the thunder and fire falling from the void getting stronger and stronger.
Can this shield hold?”
At this time, Luo Yuebai’s expression became even more solemn.
Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled into a smile: “To break through my protective layer, I’m afraid no one in Qingzhou Land can do it.”
He was still overflowing with unparalleled confidence in Bai Suzhen.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuebai was surprised, but she didn’t ask any further questions.
She just felt that Su Jingzhen was becoming more and more mysterious.
She looked down at Su Jingzhen who was still holding her right arm.
Another feeling arose in her heart.
?Emotional Connection +15?
?Remaining usable points: 1214?
When the golden characters appeared, Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with joy.
Finally, he reached twelve hundred points again.
At this point, he was already able to open his Qi Sea acupoint at any time.
However, before he could do anything, another series of thunderclaps echoed off the shield around them.
The thunder and fire power poured down as if it didn’t cost any money.
But as he had said before, even though this power was stronger than the last one, it was still far from being enough to shatter Bai Suzhen’s defenses.
While holding Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen walked towards the depths of space, enduring this thunder and fire power.
“With my shield here, we are already invincible.
I want to see who is secretly arranging all this.”
As the two of them walked deeper into the dark space, the power of the thunder and fire they encountered continued to grow.
At that time, the power of the thunder and fire that fell on them had reached the level of a genuine early-stage Soul Formation cultivator.
And that thing was still growing.
Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows gradually furrowed.
If someone was in control, he should have found some clues under his divine consciousness probe.
After walking a few more steps, Su Jingzhen stopped.
At this time, Luo Yuebai said: “This should only be an array formation.
Among the few guys under the Second Elder, ‘Forest’ should be a Array Master.
This should just be him integrating the power of Thunder and Fire into the array formation he is in.
I’m afraid this place has been set up for you and me for a long time.
They themselves should not be in this space right now.”
When she said this, Luo Yuebai’s tone was still relatively calm.
But Su Jingzhen could feel an extreme killing intent.
In Luo Yuebai’s view, if Su Jingzhen didn’t have such an extreme defense this time.
Facing this powerful thunder and fire power, the two of them would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.
And their target was not only Su Jingzhen, but also Luo Yuebai herself.
This was a bit too much.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.
Cultivators’ methods are strange and bizarre, just like this time, they were inexplicably moved to this place and this killing array.
If he didn’t have Bai Suzhen as his trump card, even with the system and his strong physique, he wouldn’t be able to withstand this continuous onslaught.
He couldn’t help but think about how smooth he, Su Jingzhen, had been lately, and how quickly his strength had increased.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit puffed up.
To be honest, after experiencing those battles in Dantai Ruins and killing so many mid-stage and higher Nascent Soul cultivators.
Su Jingzhen had actually stopped taking the Six Heavenly Generals seriously.
But this reality taught him a hard lesson.
“Never underestimate a cultivator in the cultivation world.”
He muttered to himself as a warning.
Whether it was the earth of his previous life or this world of cultivation, things going wrong in the gutters were commonplace.
Knowing that this was just an array, Su Jingzhen stopped advancing.
He also knew that the four of them, had probably already left after setting all this up.
Getting out of this predicament was his top priority right now.
Su Jingzhen stood still and did not move.
He closed his eyes and his divine consciousness surged outward.
Seeing his appearance, Luo Yuebai’s heart jumped again.
She didn’t speak to disturb him.
Although her status wasn’t weak, her cultivation was still lacking.
In this situation, she knew that she couldn’t help much.
The array was still operating.
In the dark void, the power of thunder and fire continued to condense.
Under the superimposition of various powers, the thunder and fire that hit their protective shield had reached the level of a mid-stage Soul Formation realm.
Even though it hadn’t shaken Bai Suzhen’s defenses yet, Su Jingzhen’s heart grew heavy again.
If it weren’t for Bai Suzhen, they would have been reduced to ashes here today.
In the cultivator world, arrays could be roughly divided into two categories.
One was to inscribe the array on an array disk that could be activated at any time.
Just like the one Su Jingzhen had seized before.
The other was to arrange countless Spirit Seals in advance, and then use the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to set them up.
This kind of arrangement would consume the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth in that place. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were inexhaustible, the array would exist forever.
And once it was activated, it would never stop.
Therefore, in the world of cultivation, Spirit Array Masters were also a formidable profession.
Powerful Spirit Array Masters could easily construct large arrays with a few Spirit Seals, and they could make mountains and oceans disappear.
However, each such pre-arranged array would have an array base.
That is, the framework that supports that array.
These array bases must be located somewhere in this space.
Ordinary cultivators who are trapped in this array would probably be overwhelmed by the constant thunder and fire.
Where would they have the time and energy to search for the array base?
But now, all the attacks were being borne by Bai Suzhen.
Su Jingzhen could naturally focus his attention on finding the array base.
Under these circumstances, the divine consciousness was much more useful than the eyes or the spiritual consciousness.
He quickly discovered that every time the power of thunder and fire surged, a hidden fluctuation would emanate from a dark spot at the top of the space.
Upon noticing this, a smile appeared on Su Jingzhen’s lips.
He already had the black brick in his hand.
“Such trivial tricks!”
Su Jingzhen carried Luo Yuebai with him, took a step, and shot upwards.
He immediately threw the brick at the location he had sensed.
A dragon-shaped burst of energy suddenly flashed in the dark space.
The next moment, an explosion echoed from that spot.
It was indeed a crucial spirit seal.
It was the foundation of this great formation.
With the foundation destroyed, Luo Yuebai was shocked to see the chaotic energy in the void gradually calming down.
There was no more thunder and fire power condensing out of the void.
“Is that all it takes? So simple?”
Luo Yuebai’s eyes once again showed disbelief.
Su Jingzhen put down the black brick and spread his hands: “Most importantly, these thunder and fire powers can’t distract us anymore.”
Su Jingzhen didn’t explain too much.
But Luo Yuebai’s expression became more and more complex: “I feel like I don’t understand you anymore.”
A hint of worry seemed to appear on her beautiful face.
Even though she was the sect master on the surface and Su Jingzhen was just a high priest, she couldn’t deny that the gap in their strength seemed to have widened into an unbridgeable chasm.
She knew this from Su Jingzhen’s current display, Evil Moon Sect, or even entire Qingzhou region, would inevitably be unable to contain him.
Her heart couldn’t help but become fearful and insecure.
And this emotional change was most directly reflected in the additional points.
[Emotional Connection +15]
[Emotional Connection +15]
[Emotional Connection +15]
[Remaining usable points: 1259]
As if knowing Luo Yuebai’s thoughts, Su Jingzhen’s voice remained soft: “I am still me, no matter what happens in the future, just remember our bond right now.”
His words made Luo Yuebai’s big eyes flutter.
A beautiful smile once again curved her lips.
“Good!”
Without dwelling on the subject,
Luo Yuebai knew that the stronger Su Jingzhen became, the more beneficial it would be for them.
However, what puzzled both Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai at this moment was that although the formation attacking them had been broken, the space they were in remained dark.
The two of them chatted as they walked for dozens of steps towards the outer edge, but they still couldn’t sense the end of this dark space.
“Strange, the formation has been broken, but we can’t get out?”
Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness continued to expand.
But he still couldn’t find any clues.
Luo Yuebai frowned again: “This could be a formation within a formation!
The previous Thunder and Fire Power was the power of ‘Thunder’ and ‘Fire’, and they were mainly focused on attack.
Among the remaining four guys, one with the code name ‘Mountain’, his power is unfathomable.
And there was no sign of him before. If the previous one was a killing formation, maybe this one is a trapping formation now.”
Although Su Jingzhen’s combat power was strong, he was still no match for Luo Yuebai in many areas of knowledge at this time.
“A formation within a formation? I don’t seem to have found any other formation bases along the way.”
As he said this, Su Jingzhen’s tone had become somewhat heavy.
If it really was just a trap formation, trapping them here and preventing them from leaving, it would be a significant problem.
Right now, the Linjiang branch was in a time of turmoil.
If those two weren’t there, it would be a big problem.
“Suzhen…”
At this moment, Su Jingzhen unconsciously sent a voice transmission to Bai Suzhen at his waist.
However, this time, Bai Suzhen did not give him any reply.
Su Jingzhen stood still again, and his divine consciousness continued to expand into the distance.
However, he still couldn’t see the edge.
This situation was indeed something that would only happen within a formation space.
“In that case, Yuebai, step back a bit.”
Su Jingzhen took out the black brick again.
The blood qi power of the Labor Palace acupoint in his right hand instantly surged.
He randomly threw out four or five bricks into the void.
Dragon-shaped qi roared by, distorting the void.
But his qi seemed to be swallowed up by the void when it hit it.
It gave him no feedback.
Now, even without using Bloodthirst, Su Jingzhen’s full power attack was at the level of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
It seemed like the level of this formation that trapped them was quite high.
At this time, the consciousness body in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss turned its gaze to Little Green, who was still swaying with its single leaf on the mountaintop.
“Little Green, do you need the energy of this formation outside?”
