The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1754 - 1750: 2 Chances

Shen Luo had not placed much hope in Nie Caizhu and the others, and was about to transmit a message to ask Fire Spirit Child if there had been any progress on his side, when Fire Spirit Child’s somewhat excited voice suddenly sounded: "I know, I know! This is the Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array. No wonder it can seal the entire void! But what’s strange is that the Dayan Heavenly Array is an unparalleled formation from ancient times; the range it covers shouldn’t be so limited."

"The Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array!" Shen Luo’s heart suddenly sank as he heard this.

He had once read about this formation in an ancient text detailing mysterious and extraordinary events. It was said to be a rare formation originating from the Heavenly Realm, capable of combining the spiritual power of earth veins with celestial conditions to create infinite variations for those trapped within. It possessed incredibly strong entrapping powers. Although it wasn’t listed among the ten greatest arrays, it was still regarded as a first-rate ancient marvel.

"Then Fire Daoist friend, do you have a method to break the formation?" Shen Luo asked urgently.

"Hah, if it were the full version of the Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array, even if I could break it, it would require at least ten days to half a month. Fortunately, the array before us isn’t fully established. Putting it plainly, it’s a crippled version, and breaking it won’t be too difficult." Fire Spirit Child said confidently.

"Time is pressing. Please act as quickly as possible, Fire Daoist friend." Shen Luo’s heart relaxed slightly, and he urged.

"Although this Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array is incomplete, it’s still not something I, as a mere Tool Spirit, can independently break. Luckily, there’s a Minor Yan Heavenly Array stored within the Gu Xuan star disk. I will use the method of one array to counter another, exposing a flaw in this crippled Dayan Heavenly Array. When the time comes, you and the others can attack the weak spot together to break through it." Fire Spirit Child said unhurriedly.

"Understood." Shen Luo quickly agreed.

As his words fell, silver light flashed behind him, and the Gu Xuan star disk shot forth. A chessboard-like white array swiftly expanded outward and collided with the surrounding gray-white light barrier, beginning to fuse into it.

The two forces clashed violently, issuing an unending series of deafening explosions. The gray-white mist upon the Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array began to churn furiously.

The other three people noticed the activity and turned their gazes towards Shen Luo.

"Cousin, have you found the array’s flaw?" Nie Caizhu asked joyfully.

"More or less. Listen to my instructions in a moment and combine efforts to break the array." Not wanting too many to know of Fire Spirit Child’s existence, Shen Luo took it upon himself to shoulder the explanation and nodded slightly.

Nie Caizhu and the other two were delighted, each raising their Magical Treasures.

Within the Carefree Mirror, Fire Spirit Child quickly formed hand seals. Half of the white chessboard array had already merged into the surrounding gray-white light barrier, the turbulence of the mist growing more chaotic, accompanied by increasingly loud sounds resembling the cries of thousands of birds.

Fire Spirit Child abruptly clasped his hands into a Dharma seal and uttered in a low voice, "Break!"

The white chessboard array surged with dazzling white light before shattering into countless chess piece-shaped peculiar runes, which all fused into the surrounding gray-white light barrier.

The mist upon the gray-white light barrier completely dissipated, leaving its surface dotted with points of white light. They resembled stars in the night sky, radiating brilliant splendor.

The entire Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array hummed intensely, gradually thinning.

Shen Luo’s eyes gleamed as he flipped his hand and brought forth the Profound Yellow Staff and War God Whip.

The white light points on the barrier flickered unpredictably, their rhythm accelerating from slow to fast. Finally, with a thunderous boom, all the white radiance soared tenfold, and the gray-white barrier trembled violently.

"Upper left corner, hurry!" Fire Spirit Child’s urgent voice sounded.

Shen Luo looked up and saw a dim region in the upper left corner, faintly isolated from the surrounding spiritual light.

"Everyone, strike with me to break the array!" He raised the Profound Yellow Staff and War God Whip, unleashing brilliant golden and black light, which surged upwards like a flood dragon from its cave towards the weak spot.

Nie Caizhu, Bai Xiaotian, and Master Yan also activated their Magical Treasures, following closely behind Shen Luo.

A succession of thunderous booms sounded akin to explosive storms, and the gray-white barrier quaked violently.

...

"It seems I’ve underestimated you. So quickly, you’ve found this array’s weakness. Fine." Mi Su glanced at the violently trembling gray-white light barrier before frowning.

She withdrew her gaze, chanting under her breath, and placed one hand on Chief Strategist You Su’s top of the skull. Her palm emanated a dazzling red light.

The chaotic power of the Fox Ancestor within Chief Strategist You Su rushed toward Mi Su’s hand as her palm absorbed it.

As the Fox Ancestor’s power weakened, the pain within Chief Strategist You Su diminished. She struggled to open her eyes.

"You’re... Su’er... How are you here? What are you doing...?" She gazed at Mi Su’s figure, her face full of astonishment.

"Initially, I had hopes that you or Tu Shanxue might raise the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s banner. Unfortunately, neither of you lived up to expectations. Though my body is still far from its ideal state, I have no choice but to reclaim this power." Mi Su said coolly. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Reclaim the power? You’re not Su’er! Could it be..." Chief Strategist You Su seemed to realize something, her eyes reflecting disbelief.

Mi Su gave no response this time. Her fingertips flared with red light as a red vortex materialized in her palm, rotating thunderously. The Fox Ancestor’s power drained at a drastically accelerated pace.

In Mi Su’s palm, the red light condensed into a fist-sized dark red bead.

Within the bead, the faint silhouette of a nine-tailed immortal fox danced, exuding an overwhelmingly powerful Spiritual Pressure.

As the Fox Ancestor’s power was entirely absorbed, Chief Strategist You Su’s figure underwent drastic changes. Her skin lost its luster, moisture rapidly drained away, and she visibly shriveled before their eyes.

"Su’er... No, Ancestor, grant me... one more... opportunity...," Chief Strategist You Su rasped weakly, barely audible.

"I’ve already given you two opportunities: once when I allowed you to use Tu Shanxue to reduce the backlash from the Fox Ancestor’s power, and again when I helped you piece together the shattered Ancestral Spirit Statue. You failed both times. Don’t blame me for being merciless." Mi Su replied calmly, her fingers tightening.

The red vortex in her palm swirled into a haze, extracting every last wisp of the Fox Ancestor’s power.

The breath of life within Chief Strategist You Su vanished entirely, leaving behind a withered corpse that collapsed softly to the ground.

At that exact moment, with a deafening "boom," the gray-white light barrier shattered nearby, and Shen Luo and the other three emerged.

"Not bad. You broke the array in just one incense stick’s time. Unfortunately, you’re still too late." Mi Su said with a slight smile.

Nie Caizhu and the other three, upon witnessing this scene, wore expressions as dark as a frozen pool.

Shen Luo’s demeanor remained calm, but a hint of gloom flashed deep within his gaze. He was about to strike when Fire Spirit Child’s voice quietly sounded in his mind: "Young Master Shen, my Minor Yan Heavenly Array has now integrated into the Dayan Immeasurable Heavenly Array. With just a little more time, I’ll be able to reverse the control of this prohibition. Buy me some time."
