When the Magic Array was activated by Death Lightning, black Death Lightning began to appear all around the village.
The beasts and wolves that had entered the village were turned black under Death Lightning's attack.
What surprised everyone was that they hadn't died. Instead, black electricity began to flicker across their bodies.
That was the result of Liu Zhi holding back.
For this to work, Liu Zhi hadn't killed a single beast.
But the beasts didn't realize how lucky they were. They thought they could resist lightning, and when they saw they were still alive, they charged toward Liu Zhi all at once.
Liu Zhi was standing atop a pyre piled with deadwood and beast corpses. As the wolves and beasts pounced, he took to the air.
Since flying was forbidden here, Liu Zhi didn't rise very high, only enough to stay out of reach of the beasts.
The corpses beneath the pyre also drew the beasts and wolves' attention. They slammed into it frantically, trying to knock the corpses out.
That was precisely why Liu Zhi had set up the Magic Array.
Every time they crashed into it, they were using their life force to strike the Netherworld with Death Lightning.
As they continued to ram it, Liu Zhi's Ghost Domain conversion array suddenly activated.
This was Liu Zhi's entire plan.
There wasn't enough yin energy in the real world, so he had to borrow some from the Netherworld to activate the Ghost Domain.
If he used his own power to open a passage to the Netherworld, it wouldn't be difficult, but it would consume a great deal of his Mana.
Liu Zhi wasn't a fool. His chosen method was to create a conversion array that would use life force and the power of lightning to strike the passage
