The azure-clad youth stood within the thunder killing array. Countless thunder-rule runes crisscrossed around him, melting space and tearing the earth apart, yet they had no effect on him, as though they were bubbles in a dream.
Instead, as a sword world of boundless radiance unfolded around him, an aura of forbidden arts, Law Annihilation, and destruction spread outward. The thunder world domain began to melt like ice and snow. As though it had met its natural enemy, it could not withstand the terrifying world of the Solar Sword Dao.
"A Void Refining array. As expected, I can't seize control of it..."
Jiang Ding sighed softly.
The art of formations depended on timing, terrain, and people.
Though he possessed formation teachings far beyond those of the Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder True Sovereign, he still could not break its array without a sound. Its many advantages of terrain—the sixth-rank spirit vein and the thunder peaks—along with hundreds of millions of disciples who practiced arts from the same source, all stood against him, giving his opponent too great an advantage.
"Fellow Daoist!"
"Why are you attacking the Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder True Sovereign's sect-protecting array?"
The Ten Thousand Thunders True Venerable watched the thunder-rule world domain melt silently beneath the Solar Sword Domain, and his pupils contracted. "The Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder True Sovereign is subordinate to the Immortal Artifact Sect. I have already reported this to our superior sect. An envoy of the Immortal Order will arrive to kill you within days. I urge you not to bring ruin upon yourself!"
In a single instant, the entire array of the Nine Firmaments Divine Thunder True Sovereign awakened. Its hundreds of millions of disciples, countless thunder talismans, and every formation built over more than a hundred thousand years were put to use.
