283: Chapter 283: Breaking the Line

Upon hearing this, Venerable Daoxing reined in his smile.

He glanced indifferently at the nine Fire Clan Grand Unity Golden Immortals on the ground, who were now unable to resist, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.

"During the Calamity, danger and opportunity coexist. We shall meet again in the next Immeasurable Calamity!"

Before the words had even faded, Venerable Daoxing flicked his wrist and violently flung out the Demon-Subduing Pestle, accompanied by Yuqing Divine Lightning.

Boom! Bang!

After a thunderous roar, the sound of lightning reverberated within the sealed space of the array.

A sea of lightning instantly submerged the nine Fire Clan Grand Unity Golden Immortals completely.

One strike of the pestle left not even bones behind, and one blast of lightning shattered their Primordial Spirits.

The nine Fire Clan members didn't even have time to scream; their Dao bodies were reduced to ashes in an instant, and their Primordial Spirits turned into specks of starlight, dissipating between the heavens and the earth of the Primordial World.

After obliterating the nine, the four members of the Chan Sect faced no further obstacles.

Transforming into four streaks of light, they went straight to the center of this vast space stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, the core eye of the Flame Crystal Array.

There, several of the thickest crystalline pillars, engraved with dense, ancient Fire Clan Origin runes, were emitting their final radiance.

"Do it!"

Golden Immortal Samantabhadra gave a sharp shout, and his twin Wu Hook swords transformed into two heaven-reaching golden Dragons, violently twisting and slashing against the central pillar of the array eye.

Venerable Daoxing's Demon-Subduing Pestle, Daoist Cihang's Sweet Dew, and Master Lingbao's Dragon-Tiger Seal all descended simultaneously, carrying earth-shattering power.

Boom—!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the Flame Crystal Array, one of the foundations of the Fire Clan, exploded into pieces under the full-force strike of the four.

Once the array eye was broken, a chain reaction occurred instantly.

The countless crystal pillars surrounding them that pierced the clouds began to shake violently, large swathes of space began to collapse, and the out-of-control Fire-type Law began to vent wildly.

"Go!"

Seeing this, the four dared not linger, hurriedly channeling their Divine Ability movement techniques. They transformed into four brilliant beams of immortal light and fled wildly toward the spatial gap torn open by the collapsing array.

...

Above the Flame Crystal Array.

The Fire Clan Quasi-Saint guarding the array was still continuously kiting and dragging out the fight with Que Liusun.

While dragging out the battle, the guarding Quasi-Saint would occasionally let out a trace of mockery, using mental attacks.

But at this very moment, the dark red array curtain below, which had been blotting out the sky, began to tremble violently without warning.

Rumble!

Immediately after, one crystal pillar after another, symbolizing the foundation of the Fire Clan, collapsed in succession. The array, which had been as solid as a rock, began to crumble and disintegrate.

Endless magma and earthly fire lost their restraints, erupting like a tsunami on the flank of the plain.

The guarding Quasi-Saint froze in place, eyes wide, staring in disbelief at the Flame Crystal Array that was collapsing frantically.

"How is this possible? So fast?!"

His voice turned somewhat shrill due to extreme fear and shock.

There were nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals in there! Relying on the array, they could even erupt with Quasi-Saint combat power.

How could they be completely obliterated in such a short time, and even the array foundation smashed to pieces?!

Conversely, Que Liusun, who had been pursuing relentlessly in the Void Realm, instantly noticed the abnormality coming from the Flame Crystal Array.

Looking at the fragmented array curtain, the gloom in his eyes was swept away, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Haha, success!"

With those words, he didn't even glance at the stunned guarding Quasi-Saint. His figure twisted violently in the air, and he ceased fighting with the opponent, fleeing directly in the direction where the four Chan Sect members had entered the array.

Streaks of light flashed, and at the edge of the battlefield's flank, Que Liusun happened to meet the four who had just fled from the broken array.

At this moment, although the robes of Golden Immortal Samantabhadra, Venerable Daoxing, and the other two were slightly disheveled, their auras were robust and their Primordial Spirits were full; clearly, they had not suffered any substantial injuries.

Seeing Que Liusun, the four immediately descended from the clouds, collectively bowed and saluted Que Liusun, saying:

"We have fulfilled our mission, Senior Brother!"

"Good! Well done!" Que Liusun heavily patted Venerable Daoxing on the shoulder, then vigilantly glanced at the battlefield behind them, which had fallen into complete chaos, and said in a deep voice: "This place is not suitable for lingering, let's go!"

The five of them did not linger at all, transforming into beams of light and fleeing toward the depths of the Eastern Lands without looking back, instantly disengaging from the battlefield.

Their mission was merely to destroy this crucial Flame Crystal Array. Now that it was complete, there was no need to stay here and serve as combat power for the Tiger Clan.

The reason they joined this war was originally because they were coerced.

Who would be willing to work willingly for people who forced them?

...

Meanwhile, above the main battlefield.

The very instant the Flame Crystal Array was brutally destroyed, the subtle changes in the Law within the space were instantly perceived by the Fire Clan powerhouses who were engaged in a chaotic battle above the Nine Heavens.

"Patriarch Bai Huang—! This seat will have your entire Fire Clan buried with us!!"

Fire Clan Chief Yan Lie was extremely furious at this moment.

The array not only contained nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals who were the pillars of the clan, but also the trump card they relied on to turn the tide of this battle!

Once the array was broken, it meant that the Fire Clan's supply of magic power and Domain augmentation were completely severed.

Only with the array could they maintain a semblance of parity; now that the array was broken, Yan Lie dared not imagine what the battlefield below would be turned into by the Tiger Clan.

He roared, his entire body beginning to burn wildly, transforming into a Fire God that reached the heavens and the earth.

Abandoning defense, he threw himself at Patriarch Bai Huang with reckless abandon.

The other Fire Clan Elders also had blood-red eyes, appearing insane, and unleashed Divine Abilities intended for mutual destruction.

Seeing this, the Tiger Clan members, who had been under immense pressure, instantly understood that the five guys from the Chan Sect must have succeeded!

"Haha, Patriarch Bai Huang, under the Calamity, life and death are up to fate! Today is the day your Fire Clan dies!"

Patriarch Bai Huang held his war blade, laughing wildly while bearing the White Tiger Seal, and met the furious Yan Lie.

The Second Elder of the Tiger Clan, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes at this moment, rarely voiced a word of praise:

"Not bad. These Chan Sect guys have not lived in vain as disciples of a Saint; they actually have some methods!"

Subsequently, the Second Elder of the Tiger Clan stretched, his hands straightening, his eyes revealing traces of Evil Qi as he smiled cruelly at his opponent, the Fire Clan Second Elder:

"Hehehe, since those five guys have done so well, I naturally cannot hold them back!"

After speaking, he raised his long spear Spirit Treasure and charged at his opponent.

Seeing this, the Fire Clan Second Elder did the same, his eyes bloodshot with black, his whole body entwined with Evil Qi: "Well come."

"Let this battle be the cornerstone of my clan's victory with your death!"

Rumble!

Above the Nine Heavens, Quasi-Saints bled, and the firmament wept tears.

Below, the Fire Clan Cultivators, having lost the augmentation of the array, faced the bloodthirsty, fanatical, and rapidly slaughtering Tiger Clan army, and their formations began to collapse in swathes instantly.

The battlefield truly became a meat grinder.
