The instant he entered the array.
The disdain on Chi Kong's face vanished in an instant, replaced by deathly silence.
"How could this be..."
He felt that invisible pressure, blazing to the extreme.
Chi Kong's eyes brimmed with astonishment. From the exact sensation conveyed by that pressure, he could be certain it originated from the array here. Yet he could not understand it. He clearly sensed not the slightest trace of Creation Power within that pressure. In other words, this array did not fall within the scope of a heaven-grade array. But if it was not a heaven-grade array, how could it produce such terrifying pressure?
Moreover, judging from the faint beastly aura within the pressure and that scorching Fire Essence Qi, it could be inferred that this array had been formed using the power of a beast core, supplemented by various fire-element jade stones, rather than by directly drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
By all reason, such an array should have been incapable of producing such heavy pressure upon a Soul Master of his strength!
Unless the array core sustaining its operation was of an exceptionally high grade...
High enough to pose a threat to him...
Could it be a soul beast core at the Heaven Soul Realm Late Stage?
The moment this suspicion flashed through Chi Kong's mind, he rejected it.
If the one who set up this array had the ability to incorporate a beast core of that level into it, why would they need to borrow the power of ordinary jade stones? They could have directly drawn in the power of heaven and earth. That would have been the greatest possible use of a beast core from such an existence.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chi Kong's mind in the space of a spark.
