Neither of them knew how many steps they had taken deeper into the Myriad Phenomena Maze.
The farther they went, the more formidable the Spirit Arrays they encountered became.
At first, the arrays had held a hundred Array Patterns. Later came a hundred and fifty, then two hundred, two hundred and fifty...
Today, the array they faced held three hundred.
Three hundred silver Array Patterns shone together, each radiating brilliant silver light.
The power within them rivaled that of the Shadow Clone's pitch-black Array Patterns.
This time, the Formation they faced had reached Mid-Eighth Grade—the same level as Qin Yan and his Shadow Clone.
But the Shadow Clone had already studied the Formation's mysteries and understood its core structure and weaknesses. It directed the pitch-black Array Patterns it condensed straight at those weak points.
Each black Array Pattern struck like a venomous snake, sinking its fangs into the silver Array Patterns where they were most vulnerable.
Half an hour later, the three hundred silver Array Patterns had been destroyed one by one.
The space before them cracked with a sharp, clear sound, then shattered like glass.
The two followed the opening into the next space.
A vast sea awaited them.

Then pitch-black Array Patterns emerged around him and collided with the silver ones.
Black and silver patterns intertwined, clashed, and winked out in midair. Each collision sent fine ripples of energy spreading in every direction.
