Chapter 537: Verification
With a single stroke of his sword, Zhang Yu extinguished both Daoist Ji's soul and vital aura. To guard against any mishap, he pointed a finger. Before the latter's corpse could hit the ground, it exploded into a cloud of ash, leaving only a star pouch to fall to the surface.
At that moment, a rumbling sound came from behind him. Turning his head, he saw that with no one maintaining the array mechanism, the immense flow of the earth veins had instantly descended into chaos. Clouds and mist spun through the sky like a vortex, thunder and lightning crashed and darted about wildly, while the bronze pillar flickered without cease, seeming ready to explode at any moment.
He immediately realized that this could not be left unchecked. Otherwise, the entire northern region of the Earth Star might very well undergo an unimaginably massive upheaval.
The next instant, his body drifted upward and came to stand atop the bronze pillar. At the same time, he pressed a hand downward, and a vast force of mind bore down.
In an instant, the earth-vein aura within the bronze pillar was stabilized by him, and the turbulent currents in the sky gradually settled as well.
He briefly examined the changes within the array and tried to guide the earth-vein aura out and return it to its proper place. After some time, once the aura had been completely emptied, the bronze pillar slowly sank downward. Finally, with a thunderous boom, it pressed heavily into the ground.
Once this object fell, the array formation spread across a radius of more than a hundred li also subsided. The fine glimmers of Dao talismans throughout the region all vanished, and the gloom overhead dispersed, revealing a gray-blue vault of sky.
