Probing and launching a surprise attack on the divine array, using soul power to probe and uncover hidden cards.

On the third day after all the holy bombs were dismantled, the God-Defying Grand Array above the Star Dou Great Forest suddenly lit up with dark-colored runic patterns. Su Chen stood at the center of the array eye, the God-Defying Soul Power surrounding him and the power of The women intertwined into an invisible energy bond. His gaze locked onto the increasingly dense golden halo beyond the spatial barrier—the spirit power fluctuations of the Sacred Resonance Array were climbing at a steady frequency, with only ten days left until it was fully formed.

"Act according to the plan. The goal isn't to break the array, but to interfere with the spirit power links of the three main gods, verify the truth of our intel, and consume thirty percent of their divine force," Su Chen's voice reached The women's ears through the Nishen Marks as the black god-defying longsword was slowly unsheathed. "Quit while we're ahead; do not linger in battle."

"Understood!" The women responded in unison, their God-Defying Forms quietly unfolding, though they intentionally suppressed most of their auras to avoid alerting the God Realm's follow-up army.

In the next second, Su Chen's god-defying longsword slashed out with World-Breaking power. A condensed black sword qi tore through the spatial barrier, revealing the Sacred Resonance Array suspended in a sea of golden light behind it. At the array eye, the figures of the Angel God, Sea God, and Asura God sat cross-legged with palms facing each other. Continuous holy power poured into the array, forming a stable spirit power link with golden runes traveling along it, emitting a suffocating pressure.

"God Defiers?!" The Angel God was the first to open her eyes, her six wings snapping open as golden divine radiance instantly shrouded the array eye. "You seek death!"

Her reaction was lightning-fast, raising her hand to condense a holy shield in front of the array. However, Qian Renxue's figure had already charged out like a stream of light. Her Holy God-Defying Dual Power longsword, carrying black and white light, struck the shield with precision. With a "crack," the shield became covered in dense fractures. The Holy God-Defying Dual Power naturally countered holy power; even a hasty strike caused a brief disturbance in the Angel God's divine force.

"Holy God-Defying Dual Power! You traitor!" The Angel God's face turned ashen instantly. Ignoring the maintenance of the spirit power link, she thrust her sword toward Qian Renxue, the golden sword qi wrapped in fury, nearly burning through space.

Qian Renxue sneered, her body flickering to dodge. "Traitor? I have merely broken free from the shackles of the God Realm! Your holy power is vulnerable before me!"

The sword lights of the two instantly collided, sending black, white, and golden energy waves flying. This forcefully shook the spirit power link between the Angel God and the other two main gods, causing a visible fluctuation.

Simultaneously, the figures of Yun Yun, Xiao Xun Er, and Zi Yan landed before the Sea God. Yun Yun's World-Breaking Wind transformed into Wind Blades, slicing through the Sea God Domain surging around him; Xiao Xun Er's Heaven Burning Phoenix Fire turned into a mass of colorful flames, scorching his divine armor; Zi Yan's World-Burning Dragon Flame headed straight for his palms—the key contact point of the spirit power link.

"Presumptuous!" the Sea God roared, sweeping his trident. A colossal wave rose out of thin air, attempting to swallow the three. But under the interweaving of their three powers, the wave was torn apart before it could even form. The dragon flame even grazed his palm, leaving a scorch mark, and the fluctuations of the spirit power link became increasingly violent.

On the other side, just as the Asura God wanted to pull away to provide support, he was pinned down by Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hanabi. Xiao Wu's Eight Segments of World Shattering Throw smashed accurately onto his demon sword, the spatial shock making his arm go numb; Zhu Zhuqing's Instant World Raid was elusive, her shadow claws constantly attacking his major acupoints to interfere with his divine force circulation; Hanabi's God-Defying Byakugan saw through everything, and her void-slicing blade always blocked his retreat in advance, making it impossible for him to move.

The Asura God's Soul-Devouring Demon Slash was incredibly powerful, yet he could never break through the encirclement of the three. He could only watch helplessly as his own spirit power link began to vibrate violently, causing the golden halo of the divine array to flicker.

On the edge of the battlefield, Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floated in mid-air, its Ten Thousand Times Amplification golden light accurately shrouding the raiding women while intentionally keeping the energy fluctuations low to avoid alerting the God Realm army; Ah Yin's blue-black blue silver vines spread out like a spider web, supplying life force to everyone while quietly wrapping around the edge runes of the Sacred Resonance Array, absorbing faint holy power and recording the runes' operation; Qing Lin's Ten Thousand Snake Legion and Kushina's Sealing Maelstrom worked in perfect coordination; the snake swarm devoured the leaking divine force, while the maelstrom constantly interfered with the array eye runes, preventing the three main gods' spirit power link from stabilizing.

Su Chen's gaze was fixed on the spirit power link node at the center of the resonance array. His black God-Defying Soul Power transformed into a thin needle, taking advantage of the moment the three main gods were occupied to accurately pierce the node—"Buzz!"

A violent tremor emanated from the array, and the golden halo instantly dimmed by thirty percent. The faces of the three main gods turned pale simultaneously as the divine force in their bodies suffered a brief disturbance. The operational rhythm of the Sacred Resonance Array was completely disrupted, and the once steadily climbing energy curve plummeted.

"Not good! Their target is the spirit power link!" The Angel God finally realized, roaring as she tried to stabilize the array eye again, but Qian Renxue's sword light followed her like a shadow, pinning her down.

"Retreat!" Seeing this, Su Chen immediately issued the order to withdraw.

The women understood perfectly, exerting force simultaneously to push back their opponents before quickly retreating toward the crack in the spatial barrier. Qian Renxue forced the Angel God back with a strike and merged into the shadows laid by Zhu Zhuqing; Yun Yun's trio jointly whipped up an energy storm to block the Sea God's pursuit; Xiao Wu's trio used the gap created by the spatial shock to vanish instantly.

By the time the three main gods stabilized the spirit power link and wanted to pursue, the black barrier of the God-Defying Grand Array had already slammed down, completely sealing the crack in the spatial barrier and cutting off the golden holy light.

"Damn it!" The Angel God glared at the barrier, trembling with rage, several feathers falling from her six wings. "God Defiers, just you wait! Once the Sacred Resonance Array is complete, I will flatten the Nishen Hall!"

The Sea God's expression was incredibly grim. "They've figured out our weakness. Next, we must reinforce the defenses of the spirit power link and speed up the array's formation. We can't give them another chance to raid us!"

Murderous intent surged in the Asura God's eyes, the red light on his demon sword almost solidifying. "The next time I meet them, I will tear them into ten thousand pieces!"

Back on the Douluo Continent, Su Chen and The women had returned to the eye of the God-Defying Grand Array. Although they had consumed some spirit power, none were injured, and their faces were filled with excitement.

"It was a success!" Hanabi put away her void-slicing blade, her tone unable to hide her excitement. "The spirit power link of the three main gods is indeed the fatal weakness of the divine array. Our interference has delayed its completion by at least three days!"

Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils flickered with green light, projecting a segment of the runic structure in mid-air. "I also managed to read part of the array's runic structure and the attack patterns of the three main gods. The Angel God specializes in wide-range Holy Shocks with divine soul Purification effects; the Sea God's Tide Domain can devour energy and manipulate water to bind opponents; the Asura God's Demon Slash targets the divine soul, making physical defense almost useless."

Ah Yin nodded, her blue silver vines swaying gently as she transmitted the recorded energy data to everyone. "The energy operation of the Sacred Resonance Array follows a fixed pattern. As long as we find the corresponding breaking nodes, we can completely destroy it."

Su Chen nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "Very good. The gains from this probe far exceeded expectations. Next, we will optimize our coordinated tactics based on this intel while reinforcing the defenses of the God-Defying Grand Array, especially the purification modules against holy power and defenses against divine soul attacks."

The women responded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

At this time, on the desolate mountain outside Cangyun Town, a breeze blew, stirring the weeds on Xiao Ling's grave. The aftershocks of the spatial barrier's vibration swept past, yet not even a speck of dust was raised—this symbol of the old era had long since fallen silent. Even this probing battle concerning the continent's fate could not leave a single trace before his grave.

At the other end of the spatial barrier, the golden light of the Sacred Resonance Array slowly recovered, though it was much dimmer than before. The faces of the three main gods were so grim they could drip water. They knew that the real contest had only just begun.
