The Struggle Within the Spirit Array
"Another Saint-Rank Spirit Array?"
The Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor 'Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor expression turned somewhat grim; this was clearly an unexpected turn of events. However, he quickly regained his composure.
"Do you really think an unmanned, Saint-Rank Spirit Array can cause me much trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's aura suddenly changed, and a gigantic blood-red dharma image tens of thousands of feet tall abruptly appeared behind him.
"Blood Heavenly Demon Dharma Idol!"
"Blood Shadow Slaying Heaven!"
A monstrous sea of blood surged around the crimson giant, crashing towards the cages surrounding him.
Just as the blood wave was about to touch the giant net of Spiritual Power, the cage instantly burst forth with dazzling light, forming an indestructible golden wall around the Dharma image.
"Boom!"
After the ear-piercing roar, the crimson tide receded, leaving the golden walls standing firm, spotless and pristine.
Standing atop the towering sea of blood, the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's already flushed face was now turning bluish-purple. The attack on the sea of blood just now was not a weak test. He had come here under orders to the death. If he could not break through the Western Defense Line of the Great Thousand World in time, even though he had the backing of a powerful clan and was one of the strongest in his clan, he would still be severely punished, even if his life was not in danger.
The Saint-Rank Spirit Array he was trapped in was indeed powerful; he couldn't break through it alone for at least a short time.
So······
The Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor fixed his gaze on his worried subordinates, his expression ruthless.
"Kill them all! Slaughter every last worm of this Great Thousand World!"
This is war. Since you can't rely on yourself, your army isn't just for show.
Upon receiving the order from the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor, the group of powerful Evil Clan immediately revealed a fierce glint in their eyes. Seeing this, the powerful members of the Great Thousand World felt relieved but also became vigilant again.
They weren't particularly surprised or dissatisfied. They had already achieved their strategic goal of temporarily trapping the unchecked Heavenly Demon Emperor, and the remaining opponents were indeed left to them, the strong ones, to deal with.
"Boom!"
The two powerful figures clashed violently, and the aftershocks shattered the sky for miles around, while a bone-chilling wind swept through the black space.
Over there, a fierce battle raged between powerful figures. The trapped Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor glared fiercely at his opponent, the White-robed Youth who showed no fear.
"You're the Spirit Array Master controls this Spirit Array?"
Although he knew he was asking a question he already knew the answer to, the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor still felt a sense of unreality when the other party nodded.
His youthful aura and low cultivation level would not have warranted even a second glance from him before today. However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
Xiao Han had no idea about the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's complex inner thoughts. For him, the most urgent task was to prevent this great demon from escaping. Otherwise, everyone in the defensive line would die here, and the Western Regions region of the Great Thousand World would open its arms to the Extraterrestrial Evil race, causing harm for thousands of years.
His eyes turned golden again, and his hands formed a hand seal. With the guidance of his gestures, Xiao Han gradually mobilized the Spiritual Energy of the surrounding world, slowly merging it into the already extremely sturdy cage.
Sensing the changes in the Spirit Array, the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Blood Heavenly Demon Dharma Idol! Moving Mountains, Suppressing Peaks!"
The colossal Dharma image, tens of thousands of feet tall, was summoned once again. The only difference was that this blood-red giant now manifested hundreds or even thousands of enormous arms behind its back, and its ferocious Dharma image face actually gave people a faint sense of majesty.
The enormous arms gripped the Spiritual Power barrier, and the already thick arms expanded to twice their original size. The sudden burst of power even briefly broke through the Spiritual Power cage's seal.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Thunderous sounds erupted one after another within the Grand Array, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The transition between day and night had no effect on either side of the battle. For the powerful beings of the Heavenly Supreme, they were already able to operate their cultivation techniques autonomously and absorb the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth at all times. The consumption of a day was nothing to them.
Especially when they saw that Xiao Han, the key to their victory, was still sitting calmly in front of the Grand Array, unmoved by external things, their confidence soared and their offensive became fierce again. The sudden burst of power even stunned the powerful Extraterrestrial Evil race on the other side.
"Call!"
Where no one was watching, Xiao Han quietly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at the Demon Shadow struggling in the Grand Array, the pressure in his heart had not lessened in the slightest.
Perhaps in the eyes of others his performance can be described as effortless, but only he knows the joys and sorrows. At this Heaven Gate Grand Array is approaching the limit of his control. According to his prediction, at most three days, this Saint Grade Great Array will collapse.
Of course, he wasn't the type to put on a show of wealth when he was not.
To maintain morale, Xiao Han did not reveal the truth to everyone. However, when he first took over the Grand Array, he told the Spirit King, the highest leader in the area, that while the front line was in a stalemate, preparations were being made to resist the Extraterrestrial Evil race under the command of the Great Thousand Palace.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Han is currently racing against death.
"The Heavenly Demon Emperor!"
Xiao Han's tone was somewhat complicated. If he had a few decades, he might have had a chance to achieve the status of Saint-Rank Spirit Array Grandmaster, but now he could only leave it to fate.
"I really hope I can live to see you all..."
The faces of Yi Huang and the others flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, but Xiao Han quickly suppressed them into his heart.
"Uh..." A strange feeling welled up in Xiao Han's heart. His expression changed slightly. He circulated his Spiritual Power to forcefully suppress it, and then quietly put a pill in his mouth.
This pill, which originated from the Ancient Ten Thousand Grassland, truly lived up to its reputation. After entering the stomach, it automatically transformed into pure Spiritual Power without any need for refining, integrating into Xiao Han's limbs and bones in an instant, restoring him to his peak condition.
"I really can't let you be too comfortable!"
Xiao Han looked at the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor, who was focused on breaking the formation in the cage, with cold light in his eyes. At this moment, the latter seemed to realize that this Saint-Rank Spirit Array could only trap him, so he became much bolder and hardly made any defenses, focusing on bombarding the golden walls on all four sides.
With a flick of his wrist, two sword-shaped Jade Pendant appeared in his palm. Without hesitation, he infused them with icy blue Spiritual Power.
"Buzz!"
A faint buzzing sound reached the Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor's ears. He looked down at his feet and saw familiar yet unfamiliar array patterns. The brown swamp churned, as if a giant hand was about to reach out and drag him in. To make matters worse, the clouds above suddenly parted, and a giant sword extended from the crack in the clouds. The sword's edge, radiating a solemn and cold light, was pointed directly at the head of his Dharma Image, which was also his hiding place.
"Frost Cold Sword Blade, Avici Swamp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant sword fell down, shooting dozens of thick mud ropes from the swamp and tightly binding the Dharma Image's legs. The immense force even rendered the latter unable to move for a short period of time.
The cold, heavy sword crashed down, creating crimson flames in the air at high speed before freezing solid under the icy Cold Qi.
"Boom!"
