An array hidden within an array

Looking at Qin Siyu, who was jumping around on the ground, Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Indeed... it's feasible.

I actually did it.

To personally break the taboo of life and death, to completely Resurrection someone who was confirmed dead...

"Thank goodness, I'm so glad you're alright."

Lin Yu said in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Qin Siyu had also come to her senses, touching the blood on her body and feeling her unusually healthy state. "Eh, eh? What happened, senior?"

"I felt like I was about to die just now... I felt like my soul was about to scatter and all the Meridians in my body were broken... How come I'm fine now?"

However, the astute Qin Siyu obviously wouldn't dismiss what had just happened as Hallucination.

Combining Lin Yu's attitude with her current position, she quickly realized something. "Senior... did you save me again?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Of course... that was really dangerous just now."

He said with a smile, his face naturally revealing a mixture of lingering fear and, more importantly, a feeling of relief.

Although this expression is an act, it is not entirely a false emotion.

"Emotionally speaking, I really don't care whether Qin Siyu, whom I've only known for less than two days, lives or dies, and I can't let the interpersonal relationships under the identity of 'Zhu Ming' affect my heart... But indeed, being able to confirm through this 'Resurrection' that my current 'direction' is correct is still very gratifying."

Even if it means risking the complete destruction of the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch], expending all the accumulated "belief," and revealing one's hand to the "Diviner"... overall, it's worth it.

"After all, there are many ways to gain and accumulate 'belief' these days. As the fame of my various identities increases, it will also allow me to easily create widely disseminated lies and reap a large harvest of 'belief'."

"As for exposing it to the 'Diviner'... although it is indeed a bit troublesome, such a proper disclosure, if guided properly afterward, might actually lead him to a misunderstanding, turning it into my 'advantage'—it's just that considering the target of the Deception is the 'Diviner,' I'm afraid I'll have to put in more effort..."

"Moreover, Resurrection Qin Siyu is also beneficial to me. Putting aside what kind of help this female thief with royal Bloodline can provide me in the future, the fact that the pocket watch was not actually damaged but rather 'upgraded' is enough to be considered a gain..."

"Moreover... the biggest gain should be the change in the current situation."

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at the avatar of the "Diviner".

After Qin Siyu's blood was extracted by Lin Yu using the "Reversal" method, although Demon Ancestor Gantuo could not "Reversal" the progress of the Array Eye formed by the corpse of the Great Rui Emperor, he could no longer continue the erosion.

"The Diviner... your plan is ingenious, but unfortunately—your biggest Error was choosing to scheme against me and bring Qin Siyu here."

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, looking at the "Diviner".

"Now, do you still have a way to break this Formation?"

The avatar of the Diviner looked at Lin Yu and smiled.

"Director Lin Yu... you've certainly given me quite a few surprises."

"But you've also made a huge Error —although you were able to save Qin Siyu once, to me, as long as you bring her here, killing her again wouldn't be difficult."

"Take care of you first, then kill me... it's still a piece of cake for me."

Upon hearing the Diviner's words, Qin Siyu immediately hid behind Lin Yu.

"Senior... this guy is threatening you."

Lin Yu gently patted Qin Siyu, comforting the female thief who had just died once and was still somewhat traumatized.

He calmly looked at the "Diviner" and provocatively spoke again, "With your avatar... I'm afraid you might not be able to do it."

The Diviner burst into laughter. "Ha... Lin Yu, do you know why I insisted you bring Qin Siyu here?"

He didn't take any further action, but instead asked Lin Yu a question.

Lin Yu didn't respond, so the Diviner simply followed up with his own question.

"The reason is simple... because there's Formation set up by the 'Dao Ancestor' here—I'm someone who's under strict surveillance by the 'Dao Ancestor,' so if my 'true self' brings Qin Siyu here, the Dao Ancestor can descend directly through this Formation," the Diviner laughed. "To be honest... I'm not prepared to be directly targeted by the Dao Ancestor."

"Even... it's not enough for 'Cold Cicada' or other 'Marauders' members, because they're just not rejected by the Dao Ancestor or the Heavenly Dao of the Prison Mountain Realm —to complete the plan, you and Brother Cunyi are the ones favored by the Heavenly Dao of the Prison Mountain Realm."

Hearing the Diviner's words, Lin Yu countered, "So, doesn't this further confirm that the abilities of your avatar are limited?"

"Do you really think you can defeat me by relying solely on the Earth Vein Power here?"

"However... it's understandable that you would think that way, after all, I'm only 'Tier 2' -- but I'm quite confident in myself, so why don't you give it a try?"

As Lin Yu spoke, he bent down and grasped [White Bone Flowing Light].

The Diviner still showed no intention of making a move; he shook his head.

"No, no... You've misunderstood, Lin Yu —I know you're 'Tier 2,' but I've never underestimated you."

"Although my avatar, enhanced by the Earth Vein and Formation, could easily kill ordinary 'Tier 3' Player."

"But I don't think you'll be easier to kill than a 'Tier 3' Player."

"So... you don't seem to have noticed that the Dao Ancestor's Formation has already failed."

The Diviner whispered, and then...

"Click, click, click..."

A continuous cracking sound came from all around, and Lin Yu suddenly realized that the stone tablets erected by the Dao Ancestor were cracking one after another!

At the instant the stone tablet cracked... a torrent of demonic energy surged forth from it.

Clearly, a portion of Gan Duo's will and power had already been revealed when the Diviner used Qin Siyu's curse to corrupt the corpse of the Great Rui Emperor.

As for the power from the Demon Ancestor, some of it was naturally busy destroying the ancient Formation of Great Rui, while the other part was...

The sixteen stone tablets that the Dao Ancestor later used to reinforce the great formation were part of the Heavenly Dao Array Formation!

Furthermore, it is clear that the Demon Ancestor concentrated most of his power on breaking through this Heavenly Dao Array Formation.

Although the Dao Ancestor's status is extremely high, this Formation carries the blessing of the Heaven and Earth Will...

But the power of the Demon Ancestor Gantuo is also at the level of being empowered by the World Will!

"Gan Duo!"

The Diviner praised loudly...

Amidst the Heavenly Demon energy and the Heaven and Earth Malice, a hidden Formation emerged from the Formation set up by the Diviner.

That was... Formation that borrowed the power of the "Folded Space" within the Great Rui Ancient Town.

The twisted, Talismans burned, the distorted spiritual and demonic energy intertwining and spreading, finally forming a...

A passage connecting to another Formation!

Outside of the Nine Cold Mountain, there is another Formation that is connected to the Formation here, forming a stable spatial distortion passage.

Through that space, Lin Yu saw the scene...

It is within the Duxuan Sect!

The entire Duxuan Sect is now a scorched wasteland, with twisted and lifeless buildings covered in flesh and blood, and walls of flesh and blood mixed with grass, trees and rocks that have risen out of nowhere. Most of these buildings and walls of flesh and blood have been cut down to pieces, leaving only broken walls and ruins, many of which are still burning with blood-red Karmic Fire.

Above the sky, the golden body of the God of Desire was pinned to a towering ancient tree by three long spears, but the golden light in his hands covered Jian Cunyi.

Jian Cunyi now had two gruesome, bone-revealing wounds on his chest and neck. His trachea was exposed, and the beating of his heart between his ribs was clearly visible. At the same time, his hands and feet were covered with bluish-purple, almost black, cracks.

But he still gripped the longsword, which gleamed with golden light, pointing it at the Diviner opposite him— the Diviner was not in good condition either; his eyes were tightly closed, and a bloody gash running through his eyes was oozing blood, clearly indicating that his eyes had been destroyed.

Meanwhile, his seemingly precious Compass, now grayed out and broken, lay scattered in mid-air, floating as if weightless.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yu immediately understood the Diviner's intention.

He even figured out where the other end of the Formation was hidden inside the Duxuan Sect.

"Living Foot... that Formation is inside Living Foot's body!"

"You took advantage of the fact that the Living Foot and the Formation are inherently integrated to hide that Formation like this... No wonder Brother Jian didn't notice."

Lin Yu murmured.

However, the Diviner did not reply to him at this point.

The avatar simply smiled, then transformed into a stream of light, traversed the Spatial Passage of the Formation, and entered the "Diviner's " body.

The "Diviner" who was originally fighting with Jian Cunyi also laughed lightly at this moment.

"Brother Cunyi, it seems we're unlikely to settle this today... Your 'efficiency' is still not high enough."

"And this time, you'll be watching helplessly as someone dies in vain right before your eyes again!"

The Diviner spoke, and then...

The next moment, he pulled a Long Banner from his bosom.

The Long Banner fluttered, and a Wooden Boat appeared out of thin air, lying between him and the "Feng Shui Master".

"Don't go!"

Jian Cunyi hoarse voice, and with a single swing of his sword, he nearly smashed the Wooden Boat to the ground, leaving a huge gash on its hull.

But...

This did not stop the Diviner from leaving.

Because after the Diviner boarded the ship, the ship did not move...

However, the "Formation" was rapidly approaching the Diviner's direction!

The "gate" formed by the Formation connecting the two spaces bypassed the Diviner and transported him and the Wooden Boat to the deepest part of the Royal Palace ruins in Nine Cold Mountain!

That is to say...

In front of Lin Yu!

Furthermore, after completing these steps, the Diviner immediately began performing a hand seal.

"Boom!"

The spiritual energy within the Formation exploded, and the entire Formation structure collapsed in an instant!
