333: Chapter 334 Are they finally getting anxious?

She sat cross-legged, placed the Formation Plate on her knees, and slowly formed hand seals.

"Rise—"

From her pale lips, a single word was uttered.

Though the voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Hum!

The Grand Array instantly emitted a brilliant radiance once more!

The light barrier, which had been slightly dim due to insufficient mana, now erupted with dazzling five-colored light! Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—the seven colors intertwined like a spectacular rainbow, enveloping the entire Biyun Peak!

The runes on the Grand Array seemed to have been given life, swimming and weaving through the array like small fish, incredibly agile. Each rune emitted a faint glow, intertwining on the surface of the barrier into complex patterns that were beautiful and magnificent, yet hid murderous intent.

"Go!"

Xiao Caiyue waved her jade hand.

Countless golden light spheres condensed and formed once again, raining down overwhelmingly towards the Cultivator who was using the array-breaking bead to break the formation!

This attack was even more violent than before!

The Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was focusing on controlling the array-breaking bead when he suddenly felt a terrifying fluctuation of Spiritual Qi from above. Looking up, he saw golden spheres filling the sky like a torrential downpour!

The Black-robed man saw this, but he was not flustered in the slightest.

He snorted coldly and pinched a seal in his hand.

Hum—

A bronze-colored Dao bell flew out from his sleeve, growing upon meeting the wind! In the blink of an eye, the Dao bell, which had originally been only the size of a palm, transformed into a giant bell as tall as two people, hovering above his head and slowly rotating.

The body of the bell was carved with dense runes, each emitting an ancient and heavy radiance. The mouth of the bell faced downward, firmly enclosing his entire person within.

"Clang—!"

The golden light spheres struck the Dao bell, emitting a dull, thunderous sound.

The Dao bell did not move at all; only the runes on its surface flickered slightly, neutralizing all the attacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Several more golden spheres crashed down, but the Dao bell remained as steady as Mount Tai, merely stirring up ripples visible to the naked eye on its surface. The ripples spread out like undulating water waves, then vanished without a trace.

The Black-robed man stood with his hands behind his back beneath the Dao bell, his black robes fluttering, his face cold and stern, as if the golden spheres filling the sky were nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing his face.

"Is that all the skill you have?"

He sneered, his voice emanating from within the Dao bell, carrying a hint of disdain.

"A Second-Order Grand Array is, after all, only second-order. Even if you risk your life, you cannot harm me in the slightest."

Seeing this, Xiao Caiyue's heart sank.

The defensive power of that Dao bell far exceeded her expectations.

Although she had not expected those golden spheres to harm the opponent, she had not anticipated they would be blocked so easily. The grade of that Dao bell was at least a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, perhaps even top-grade!

And someone who could drive such a Spiritual Artifact...

"Late Foundation Establishment Stage..."

Xiao Caiyue muttered to herself, a trace of gravity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Through this Spiritual Artifact of the opponent, and the opponent's calm posture while directly resisting the Grand Array's attacks, she finally confirmed the guess in her heart—this Black-robed man was by no means an ordinary Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

That composed demeanor, that precise grasp of timing, that control over the rhythm of battle... he was clearly someone who had experienced a hundred battles.

Xiao Caiyue bit her lip.

A Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator was an existence that could almost walk sideways in this region. If not for the tight defense of the Longmai Mountain Grand Array and the deterrent of Ye Changge's illustrious reputation, the opponent would likely have already attacked the door directly.

"However..."

Xiao Caiyue raised her eyes, a chill emanating from her beautiful eyes.

"Since you want to break the formation, then I will let you break it!"

She took a deep breath and suddenly bit the tip of her tongue!

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of Essence Blood sprayed out, a crimson mist of blood permeating the air and landing on the Formation Plate on her knees.

The Formation Plate, stained with the Essence Blood, instantly erupted with a blinding blood-red light! The Formation Plate, which had been sluggish in operation due to insufficient mana, now hummed and vibrated as if it had been injected with new life!

"Rise!"

Xiao Caiyue uttered the word, her voice hoarse but firm.

Boom!

The Grand Array instantly erupted with colorful light once more!

This time, the runes swimming on the light barrier were no longer scattered; instead, they began to change and combine in a regular pattern! Each rune pieced together like a puzzle, forming more complex patterns that emitted a heart-stopping aura!

Meanwhile, the defensive light barrier of the Grand Array began to slowly contract.

The light barrier, which had originally covered the entire Biyun Peak, now compressed inward continuously, shrinking from the foot of the mountain to the waist, and from the waist to the peak. The barrier shrank smaller and smaller, becoming increasingly dense, and the light on its surface grew more dazzling.

"Is she crazy?!"

Li Xuanfeng saw this scene from afar, his pupils shrinking violently.

Shrinking the defensive range could certainly make the Grand Array's defensive power more concentrated and stronger, but this also meant—

"This is a desperate gamble..."

Above the Grand Array, a sudden change occurred!

The light barrier that had shrunk to the mountain peak suddenly blossomed with dazzling five-colored light the moment the runes finished combining!

Within the light, a long spear slowly condensed and formed.

The long spear was over a zhang long, its entire body woven from five-colored runes, its tip incredibly sharp, and mysterious rune light flowing across its shaft. Most terrifying of all was the suffocating Spiritual Qi fluctuation permeating from the long spear.

"Hehe..."

The Black-robed man suddenly laughed.

The laughter was low, carrying a hint of approval and a hint of mockery.

"Finally anxious, are you?"

He muttered to himself, but there was not a trace of panic in his eyes.

The desperate counterattack of a dying person was indeed terrifying. But so what?

He was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

The trump cards in his hand were far beyond what a Second-Order Array Master could imagine.

"Break for me!"

The Black-robed man gave a low shout, and the spell seal in his hand changed!

The array-breaking bead hovering outside the Grand Array's light barrier suddenly erupted with blinding black light! On the surface of the bead, the carved black flood dragon seemed to come alive, swimming and circling on the surface, opening its bloody maw to reveal stark white fangs!

"Roar—!"

A low flood dragon roar resounded through heaven and earth!

The phantom of the flood dragon rushed out from the array-breaking bead, growing upon meeting the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant python several zhang long! It opened its giant mouth and bit fiercely towards the weak point it had been gnawing on for a long time!

Crack!

The Grand Array's light barrier emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound!

The weak point, which had already been under continuous attack by the array-breaking bead, finally could not hold on any longer, and a visible crack appeared!

The crack was not large, only a finger's width, but it was enough to allow the Spiritual Qi from outside to pour in!

Seeing this, the Black-robed man's eyes flashed with intensity.

A Talisman glowing with silver light appeared in his hand again—a Second-Order Array-Breaking Talisman!

"Go!"

He flicked his finger, and the array-breaking Talisman turned into a silver stream of light, striking precisely into the crack!

Rumble!

The Grand Array emitted a deafening hum!

Under the impact of the array-breaking Talisman, the crack instantly expanded several times over! From a finger's width to an arm's width, and from an arm's width to the width of a person!
