The Mysterious Spirit Array Master
In the end, Jin Wu Xie was unable to dissuade Xiao Han from entering the Black Abyss, nor did he force him too much.
Although the Black Abyss Mountain Range are strange, those Earthly Supreme Sovereigns from back then are still safe and sound. It seems that with Xiao Han's strength, preserving himself should not be a problem.
Stepping out of the Ten Thousand Gold Pavilion, under the complex gaze of the old man guarding the pavilion, I merged into the dense crowd on the street and quickly disappeared into the sea of people.
Black Abyss Mountain Range.
Only when you actually arrive at this legendary and eerie place do you realize that the rumors were actually quite conservative.
"Yo! You've arrived at the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"
Suddenly, the voice of a zombie flashed past Xiao Han's ears.
"You're not dead yet!?"
Xiao Han's tone was filled with surprise and regret. Indeed, the owner of this voice was none other than the Ice Emperor, who had not made a sound since Xiao Han came out of seclusion.
"I'm so sorry you didn't die~"
Sensing the inexplicable meaning in Xiao Han's words, and feeling the intense resentment of Ice Emperor even through the air, he said in a low voice.
"Snort!"
The sound emanating from his nasal cavity carried a hint of smugness.
"Thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for that ice-attribute treasure you absorbed a while ago, I might not have woken up at all."
"I see!"
Xiao Han nodded, his expression slightly cold.
"You absorbed most of the energy from the Nine Nether Jade Marrow Heart ~"
No wonder he felt that most of the Spiritual Energy had been taken away. The Spiritual Energy that was enough to help him reach the Upper Earthly Supreme was only at the peak level of the Lower Earthly Supreme. He has finally found the right one!
The resentment in her heart suddenly found an outlet, and before Xiao Han could react, Ice Emperor very tactfully changed the subject.
"There seems to be traces of those guys here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han looked up at the thick Black Mist above his head and gave a soft "hmm," which was taken as agreement.
"The Evil Qi is very faint and cannot affect people for the time being, but if it persists for a long time, it's hard to say..."
Xiao Han's tone was grave; how could he encounter such a distressing situation while treasure hunting!
"How about it? Want to go in and take a look?"
Ice Emperor suggested with a hint of provocation, as he was someone who always wanted to stir up trouble.
"How much of your current strength can you unleash?" Xiao Han asked instead of rushing in blindly.
"According to the classification system of the Great Thousand World, he should be Lower Earthly Supreme."
"Of course, if I were given a suitable body, I could at least unleash the power of Great Perfection Earthly Supreme!"
"Oh, Lower Earthly Supreme."
As for the so-called Great Perfection Earthly Supreme, Xiao Han remained silent. The Ice Emperor's soul, or rather, Divine Soul, was incredibly powerful. Even when he was half-dead, the Ice Emperor could easily pull him into Illusionary realm, let alone now.
Xiao Han doesn't yet have the means to forge a body that is compatible with the other person.
Without another word, the figure that had been standing still suddenly became illusory, and after two or three breaths, the afterimage slowly dissipated.
"The Cold Spear Cage!"
"Meteor Shatter!"
"Bang..."
Countless spears forged from ice silently emerged from the space, and under Xiao Han's control, they pinned the surrounding black humanoid creatures to the ground. The latter then turned into a wisp of black smoke and mysteriously disappeared into the space.
After clearing the area countless times and preventing the monster from reappearing, Xiao Han finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Were we tricked?"
Xiao Han smiled gently, exerting an invisible but powerful pressure on all sides.
How could anyone be in a good mood if they were attacked by a horde of monsters the moment they stepped inside?
At this moment, he finally understood why none of the first batch of powerful individuals who entered had survived; the black monster from earlier was a prime example.
The seemingly endless black monsters were all above the Spirit Origin Realm, some even approaching the level of Supreme.
If Xiao Han hadn't mastered many wide-range cleansing skills, dealing with it would have been quite troublesome.
And this is just the beginning.
"These must be formations, right?"
"Within Xiao Han's body, "Ice Emperor speculated.
"Um."
Xiao Han nodded slightly. He had noticed the abnormality of the shadowy figures the moment they clashed, but he was too busy clearing out the minions to find an opportunity to disable the Spirit Array.
However, what puzzled Xiao Han was why the group of Earthly Supreme had gained nothing. Could it be that this Spirit Array was bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Is he really that easy to bully?
"Help me block them for a while later."
Ice Emperor's vision blurred, and in an instant, he saw that the scene around him had changed. He was being expelled from his body by Xiao Han!
"Really..."
With a helpless glance at Xiao Han, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, the Ice Emperor shook his head repeatedly. Then, a Cold Qi rose from his body, condensing into dazzling ice flowers on the ground, which slowly crawled away into the distance.
At this moment, in Xiao Han's dim mind, as the probe went deeper, one light spot after another lit up. The light spots were connected by complex lines, and the simple pattern became more and more complicated, eventually outlining a Grand Array that filled the space of consciousness.
"This is getting complicated..."
After examining the Array Diagram for only ten minutes, Xiao Han's brows furrowed tightly. It wasn't that he couldn't break it; although the Spirit Array was complex, it was only equivalent to an ordinary Rank 8 Spirit Array, a piece of cake.
The real challenge lies in the method of drawing the Spirit Array, or rather, in the Spirit Array Spirit Array Master sets up the spirit array.
He is no longer the clueless person he was when he first arrived in the Great Thousand World. He can be considered a local now. Although his understanding of the Spirit Array of the Great Thousand World is not the pinnacle, he is not a novice either.
The Spirit Array system of the Great Thousand World has been perfected over a long period of time. Almost every Spirit Array Master in the Great Thousand World follows the same laws when casting Spirit Array, without exception.
The casting of Spirit Array requires the assistance of Spirit Seal. The Spirit Seal array patterns, and the basic array patterns are then combined to form the powerful Spirit Array that people see.
Over the long course of history, our ancestors have developed a complete method for depicting basic array patterns.
It has the highest efficiency, lowest difficulty, strongest power, and lowest consumption in utilizing Spiritual Power.
Therefore, the basic array patterns mastered by any Spirit Array Master in the Great Thousand World are completely consistent, with only minor differences arising from individual strength and personal style.
However, Xiao Han could not find any trace of the Great Thousand World Spirit Array inheritance in this "Spirit Array".
This reminded him of himself; the formations of the Fierce Qi Continent were completely different from those of the Great Thousand World.
What made things difficult for Xiao Han was precisely this: the owner of this "Spirit Array" was likely from Lower Plane, just like him, but with a different lineage.
This means that before Xiao Han can figure out the rules of the Spirit Array set up by the other party, he has no choice but to choose the most foolish way to break the array in the short term—to break it by force.
Thinking this, Xiao Han suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. Under the astonished gaze of the Ice Emperor, he waved his hand and summoned hundreds of Icy Long Spear, which shot out into the surrounding space, interrupting all the places where Spiritual Energy converged that he had found.
Unable to locate the core of the formation, Xiao Han had no choice but to resort to disrupting the formation's entire Spiritual Power flow, causing it to dissipate on its own due to the clash and conflict of Spiritual Power.
The spear pierced the space, and dense golden patterns rose from the dark ground before collapsing with a hum.
"Resolved?"
Ice Emperor asked curiously, he thought Xiao Han would need more time.
Xiao Han nodded, then shook his head.
Then, under Ice Emperor's impatient and questioning gaze, he slowly spoke.
"We might be in trouble this time."
