363: Chapter 363 Commander of the Array Clan

His eyes were a pure silver, with countless tiny Formation patterns seemingly rotating within his pupils, making anyone who looked at them feel dizzy and mesmerized.

Dense Formation patterns swirled around his body; some resembled chains, others sharp blades, some shields, and some living creatures.

They constantly rotated, intertwined, and shifted around him, forming an extremely complex Formation system. Anyone attempting to approach him would be attacked or trapped by those Formation patterns.

Golden Core Third Layer Late Stage!

Lin Yue's heart sank. This Array Clan Commander's cultivation was an entire major Realm higher than his. Moreover, the opponent's attainments in Formations were likely not below those of any Elder in the Ten Thousand Array Sect.

But he did not retreat.

He took a deep breath and strode into the main hall.

"Lin Yue!" an Elder exclaimed, "Retreat quickly! You are no match for him!"

Lin Yue ignored him. He walked to a spot ten zhang away from the Array Clan Commander, stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Invaders will surely meet a miserable end."

The Array Clan Commander turned his head and glanced at him. A trace of disdain flashed in those silver eyes.

"Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer?" he said indifferently, his voice hoarse and cold, "Is the Ten Thousand Array Sect out of people? Sending a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer junior to their death?"

Lin Yue did not answer. He simply formed hand seals, and a brilliant earthy-yellow light erupted around him!

Rock Demon Prison-Suppressing Array!

A massive Rock Demon Phantom instantly condensed behind him, standing ten zhang tall, solid throughout, and exuding terrifying pressure. The phantom's eyes were like two earthy-yellow suns, staring fixedly at the Array Clan Commander, as if it would pounce and tear him to shreds at any moment.

A trace of surprise flashed in the Array Clan Commander's eyes as he said, "A Cultivation Technique of the Rock Demon Clan? Interesting. But do you think this is enough to contend with me?"

He raised his right hand and flicked it gently. A Formation pattern around his body instantly transformed into a sharp blade, shooting toward Lin Yue!

With a thought from Lin Yue, the Rock Demon Phantom struck down with its palm, shattering the Formation pattern blade into fragments!

But the fragments of the Formation pattern did not dissipate; instead, they swirled in the air, reconverging into even more Formation patterns that surrounded Lin Yue from all directions!

Lin Yue's expression changed, and he hurriedly controlled the Rock Demon Phantom to deploy defensive barriers in front of him. Those Formation patterns struck the barriers, producing ear-piercing sounds, with each impact causing a crack to appear on the barrier.

Meanwhile, the Array Clan Commander waved his hands repeatedly, and more Formation patterns flew from his body, weaving together in the air to form a massive Formation that descended upon Lin Yue!

That was the Array Clan's attack Formation—the Ten Thousand Blade Killing Array!

Countless Formation patterns within the array transformed into sharp blades, pouring down upon Lin Yue like a rainstorm! Each blade contained the power to pierce through metal and stone, and with thousands falling simultaneously, it was enough to tear any enemy to shreds!

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to drive the Rock Demon Prison-Suppressing Array. The Rock Demon Phantom crossed its arms, blocking in front of him, and forcibly withstood the attack of the Formation! The blades struck the Rock Demon Phantom, erupting with ear-piercing sounds as countless cracks appeared on its surface, but it never shattered!

The Array Clan Commander's eyes flashed with surprise as he said, "You can actually block my Ten Thousand Blade Killing Array? You have some skill."

He formed hand seals again, and the Formation instantly shifted, transforming from an attack Formation into a trapping Formation. Countless Formation patterns turned into chains, coiling toward the Rock Demon Phantom, intending to trap it along with Lin Yue!

Just then, a green light shot in from outside the hall, landing beside Lin Yue.

It was Chu Lan!

She waved her hands repeatedly, and Spirit Plant seeds shot from her hands, landing around Lin Yue. Those seeds instantly took root and sprouted, transforming into strange vines that coiled around the Rock Demon Phantom, merging with it!

Those vines contained Chu Lan's Spirit Plant Master power, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and converting it into defensive energy to reinforce the Rock Demon Phantom. When the Formation pattern chains coiled up, the vines grew frantically, tightly binding the chains and preventing them from tightening!

The Array Clan Commander frowned and said, "A Spirit Plant Master? Interesting."

Just as he was about to shift the Formation again, a silver light suddenly illuminated around him!

Su Ning had made her move!

She formed hand seals, and the power of space surged. Spatial Blades slashed toward the Array Clan Commander from all directions! Everywhere those Spatial Blades passed, the Void Realm distorted, their power astonishing!

The Array Clan Commander snorted coldly, and the Formation patterns around him instantly shifted, forming an airtight defensive barrier around him. Those Spatial Blades slashed against the barrier, and although they left deep marks, they could not penetrate it!

But Su Ning's goal was not to injure him. Her Spatial Blades were merely intended to sever the connection between him and those Formation patterns!

Under her precise control, those Spatial Blades specifically struck the key nodes connecting the Array Clan Commander to the surrounding Formation patterns. With every Spatial Blade that landed, one Formation pattern would lose its connection to him and become dim and lusterless!

The Array Clan Commander's expression changed slightly; he had not expected this spatial Cultivator to be able to see through the weaknesses of his Formation. He hurriedly withdrew those Formation patterns, redeployed his defenses, and simultaneously diverted a portion of his energy to deal with Su Ning.

But with this distraction, the pressure on Lin Yue lessened slightly.

Lin Yue seized this opportunity and exerted all his strength to drive the Rock Demon Prison-Suppressing Array. Under his control, the Rock Demon Phantom took a step forward and slammed a punch toward the Array Clan Commander!

The Commander raised his hand and flicked it, and a Formation pattern condensed into a shield, blocking the punch. However, the immense impact force still knocked him back a step!

"Good!" a cheer erupted from outside the hall.

The Elders and Disciples of the Ten Thousand Array Sect were filled with excitement upon seeing that Lin Yue could actually contend with a Golden Core Third Layer Array Clan Commander.

But the Array Clan Commander's expression turned ugly.

He, a dignified Golden Core Third Layer Array Clan Commander, had actually been forced back a step by a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer human. This was simply a great humiliation!

"You seek death!" he shouted coldly, his hands forming seals frantically as all the Formation patterns around his body lit up simultaneously!

Those Formation patterns flew from his body, weaving, fusing, and shifting in the air, finally forming an extremely complex, terrifyingly massive Formation!

The Formation shrouded the entire main hall, with countless Formation patterns circulating within it, exuding a suffocating pressure. Each Formation pattern contained the power to destroy everything, and with thousands of them gathered together, that power was enough to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth!

"Ten Thousand Array Break!"

The Commander roared, and the massive Formation instantly contracted, transforming into a torrent that smashed fiercely toward Lin Yue's Rock Demon Prison-Suppressing Array!

Lin Yue's expression changed drastically as he desperately drove the Rock Demon Phantom, concentrating all defensive power in front of him. Chu Lan also desperately drove her Spirit Plants, causing the vines to grow frantically to reinforce the phantom. Su Ning formed hand seals, deploying layers of Spatial Barriers in front of the Rock Demon Phantom!

Boom!

The torrent struck the Rock Demon Phantom, erupting with an earth-shattering roar!

The entire main hall trembled violently, countless cracks appeared on the walls, and the roof tiles fell one after another! On the plaza outside the hall, those remaining Formations were instantly shattered by the shock, and countless Ten Thousand Array Sect Disciples were thrown to the ground!

The Rock Demon Phantom trembled violently, with countless cracks appearing on it, growing larger and deeper until it finally shattered with a bang!

Lin Yue spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the wall!

Chu Lan and Su Ning were also caught in the shockwave, both vomiting blood and falling to the ground!

The Array Clan Commander stood in the center of the main hall, surrounded by Formation patterns, looking down at the three people lying on the ground with eyes full of contempt.

"Overestimating your capabilities," he said indifferently, his voice filled with mockery, "One Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, two Foundation Establishment Fifth Layers, and you dare to contend with me? The Ten Thousand Array Sect really is out of people."

He raised his right hand, and Formation patterns condensed in his palm, transforming into a massive sword of Formation patterns. Countless runes circulated on the sword, exuding terrifying pressure.

"First I will kill you, then break this Ten Thousand Array Returning Origin Formation," he said coldly, "Ten Thousand Array Sect, today you shall surely be destroyed."

He slashed down with the sword, aiming directly at Lin Yue!

Everywhere the sword radiance passed, the air distorted, and space trembled! If this sword strike landed, Lin Yue would surely die!

Just at this critical moment, Lin Yue suddenly raised his head.

In his eyes, a light burned like never before. It was unyielding, it was anger, it was a desire for life, and even more, it was the will to protect his sect!

"Want to kill me... it's not that easy!"

He roared, his hands forming seals frantically as all the remaining spiritual energy in his body surged out! That spiritual energy swirled frantically around him, transforming into an earthy-yellow light that condensed into a new Rock Demon Phantom!

But this phantom was completely different from before.

It not only fused the defensive power of the Rock Demon Prison-Suppressing Array but also incorporated the essence of the Formations left behind by the ancestors of the Ten Thousand Array Sect! The Formation incantations he had memorized while learning at the Ten Thousand Array Sect, the true meaning of the Formation Dao he had comprehended in the Meteor Battle Tower, and the experience he had accumulated in countless battles—at this moment, they were all fused into one!

"Ten Thousand Array Rock Demon Array!"

He roared hoarsely, and the Rock Demon Phantom instantly surged, growing twenty zhang tall, its entire body as solid as a real stone giant! On its body, countless Formation runes circulated, each rune representing an exquisite Formation! These Formations intertwined and echoed each other, forming an unprecedented super defensive array!

The sword of Formation patterns slashed onto the Rock Demon Phantom!

Boom!

An earth-shattering roar! The entire main hall trembled violently, and countless cracks spread across the walls! But the Rock Demon Phantom did not budge, forcibly withstanding the sword!

Even more astonishingly, the Formation patterns on the sword actually began to erode in reverse, following the sword of Formation patterns and backlashing toward the Array Clan Commander!

"What!" the Commander's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to withdraw the sword, but it was already too late!

Those backlashing Formation patterns surged along the sword body into his body, rampaging through his Meridians, causing his own Formation power to backlash against him! He spat out a mouthful of blood, retreated several steps, and the Formation patterns on his body instantly dimmed by more than half!

"How is this possible!" he widened his eyes, looking at the massive Rock Demon Phantom in disbelief, "You... you actually reflected my attack back!"

Lin Yue did not answer. He gritted his teeth, exhausted his last ounce of strength, controlled the Rock Demon Phantom, and struck down with a palm!
