168: Chapter 168 The Demon King's Brute Force
Breaking the Emperor Realm Grand Array!
When those four words were uttered from Lin Qingzhi's slightly trembling voice, Mo Wen's heart, which had just been filled with excitement, suddenly sank!
Although he did not know what the concept of the 'Emperor Realm' truly was,
he had heard this term, which represented 'supreme and unparalleled,' more than once from Lin Qingzhi's reverent descriptions.
That was the supreme existence truly standing at the apex of the billions of living beings in the Xuan Realm!
And how terrifying must an array personally set up by a terrifying existence of that level be?!
"Then... then can we still get in?" Mo Wen's brows furrowed tightly.
"Difficult." Lin Qingzhi slowly shook her head. Her phoenix eyes, which always seemed to see through everything, were now filled with solemnity.
"A restriction of this level has long since formed its own dimension, perpetually regenerating."
"Unless one possesses the absolute crushing power capable of breaking all techniques with sheer force."
"Otherwise, any conventional method of breaking it will be meaningless in its presence."
Saying this, her phoenix eyes, full of gravity, suddenly brightened slightly!
She seemed to have thought of something and abruptly turned her head, casting her gaze upon Mo Wen beside her!
That look made Mo Wen's heart feel a little... creeped out.
"Why... why are you looking at me like that?"
"I... I don't know how to break arrays!"
"I do." Lin Qingzhi looked at him, a faint smile filled with 'scheming' and 'cunning' slowly forming on his handsome face.
"And you will be my best... 'tool'."
Mo Wen: "..."
He knew it!
He, the 'Demon King,' didn't have any standing at all!
In the end, he was still just a 'tool man' assisting the Empress Adult!
...
In the following hour, Lin Qingzhi displayed the vast, ocean-like array knowledge she possessed as the 'Empress'!
She did not approach the restriction again.
She merely walked slowly around the massive underground divine palace.
Her eyes, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into two stars capable of seeing through all illusions!
The 'Emperor Realm Grand Array,' which was originally flawless in her eyes, revealed its internal, complex, and profound energy circulation paths—like the meridians of a human body—completely laid bare before her!
Where was the energy core!
Where were the weak nodes!
Where were the 'false gates' used to confuse the enemy!
Everything was completely exposed under her 'Eyes of the Emperor'!
Finally, after thoroughly 'seeing through' the entire grand array, she stopped walking.
She pointed to an extremely inconspicuous corner on the golden light screen, where the energy fluctuation was the weakest.
Facing Mo Wen, who had been waiting impatiently by the side, she issued her first command as the 'Commander-in-Chief.'
"Hit here."
Her voice was filled with unquestionable confidence.
"Use your devouring power."
Mo Wen pursed his lips. Although his heart was filled with the urge to complain,
his body was honest as he walked to the location she pointed out.
He looked at the colorful, golden light screen overflowing with a 'sacred' aura before him and took a deep breath.
He urged the fundamental Demonic Power within his 'chaos demon core'—that power filled with the aura of 'devouring' and 'destruction'—to the extreme!
Then, he simply threw a punch!
"Boom—!"
There was no earth-shattering roar.
Nor was there a world-destroying explosion.
The moment Mo Wen's fist touched the golden light screen, an invisible yet supremely domineering law of 【Devouring】 burst forth!
That indestructible golden light screen, just like a canvas splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, rapidly 'corroded' into a dark, continuously spinning vortex centered on Mo Wen's fist!
The inexhaustible energy of that 'Emperor Realm Grand Array,' upon contact with that 'vortex,' was violently 'eaten' away, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, uncontrollably!
"Buzz—!"
The entire golden light screen suddenly trembled violently!
As if a giant in deep sleep had been struck hard by someone!
"It worked!" A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes!
However, before his joy could last for more than a second, the black vortex he had painstakingly 'gnawed' open rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"It's useless," Lin Qingzhi's voice sounded again.
"A restriction of this level possesses the ability to self-repair."
"What you just struck was merely one of its 'blood vessels' used for energy transmission."
"To completely paralyze it, you must sever all of its 'blood vessels' before it can complete its self-repair!"
As she spoke, she raised her right hand again.
Her slender, fair index finger drew arcs in the air like the most brilliant conductor!
"Here! Here! And here!"
"Quick! You only have ten seconds!"
Her voice was filled with an unprecedented urgency!
Hearing this, Mo Wen dared not delay any longer!
He urged his speed to the extreme!
His figure instantly turned into a bloody afterimage on the spot!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
He struck the massive golden light screen like the most efficient 'pile driver,' bombarding it furiously!
Every punch landed precisely on the 'weak nodes' pointed out by Lin Qingzhi!
Every attack of his would 'gnaw' open a dark 'hole' on the golden light screen!
For a time, the entire underground cavern was filled only with the dull sound of Mo Wen's storm-like bombardment!
And the unbearable 'wail' emitted by the 'Emperor Realm Grand Array' as it was violently 'ravaged' by him!
One person was responsible for perceiving all 'weaknesses' using her vast 'knowledge'!
One person was responsible for destroying all 'nodes' using his most unreasonable 'barbarian strength'!
One 'Wisdom,' one 'Strength'!
One 'Yin,' one 'Yang'!
At this moment, the 'bond' between the two, which had long surpassed life and death, and the 'tacit understanding' long engraved in their souls, reached an unprecedented peak!
They were no longer simply a protector and the protected.
But a perfect partnership that could truly fight side-by-side!
