193: Chapter 193 The Great Array of World Demise!
Outside the bedchamber of the Supreme Divine Hall, Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace.
The more Chu Lingyue thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. How could she, the dignified Empress Xuanhuang, be driven out of her own territory like a wronged little wife, not only having her bed snatched by her arch-rival?
"Why?! This is my room, my bed! Everyone else is staying, why am I the only one who has to leave!"
Gritting her teeth, anger overcoming shame, Chu Lingyue violently pushed open the bedchamber doors.
However, the sight before her instantly rooted her to the spot.
On the opulent spiritual jade imperial bed, light gauze curtains swayed gently.
Far from showing any shame for usurping another's place, Xia Xuanji was comfortably stretching her graceful figure, nestled against Wang Yang's chest. Her beautiful eyes danced, exuding a captivating allure.
Seeing Chu Lingyue storm in with a furious Aura, Xia Xuanji felt no embarrassment. Instead, she deliberately raised her delicate chin and provocatively challenged:
"Oh my, why is Sister Chu back again? Couldn't wait outside? See how masterfully I'm executing this 'deduction technique'? Want to come up and give me a push?"
"You—! Shameless!" Chu Lingyue watched her sacred imperial bed being so wantonly 'defiled' by her rival, her chest heaving with rage.
But bizarrely, besides anger, she didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort or shame in her heart!
Although this was truly the first time she was seeing it in reality, it felt as if... she had already experienced this scene countless times in her subconscious, long since grown accustomed to it.
Of course, in truth, she *had* indeed seen it countless times before...
"Xia the Charlatan, don't just focus on enjoying yourself!" Chu Lingyue forcefully suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, grinding her teeth as she urged, "The apocalypse crisis is upon us, hurry up and get to work on the deduction!"
Hearing this, Xia Xuanji also set aside her playful mood.
She knew the situation was critical; the threat of the Void Silence Abyss hung over them like a sword suspended above their heads.
The other women present, including Jiang Yutang and Lin Xiaowan, all quieted down. Knowing they must not disturb the process now, they held their breaths, their eyes fixed intently on Xia Xuanji as she began her deduction.
A faint smile touched Wang Yang's lips. Holding nothing back, the vast, pure, primal Yang power of Creation within him flowed forth like a gentle stream, continuously pouring into Xia Xuanji's body.
Empowered by this unfathomable, godly force, the starlight mark between Xia Xuanji's eyebrows erupted with dazzling, intense light. The projection of the [xingyan fate plate] spun rapidly in mid-air, violently tearing apart the originally chaotic mist!
A moment later, Xia Xuanji's eyes snapped open. Her face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat dotted her forehead.
"Revered Master, the result is out!"
Xia Xuanji's voice carried a trace of barely concealed horror. "That old ghost Hun Cangming has set up an extremely vicious evil Formation around Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace—the [World-Fall Great Array]!"
"World-Fall Great Array?" Chu Lingyue frowned deeply. She had never even heard of this name.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Xuanji explained in a grave tone, "He has buried a Formation anchor called a [void silence bone tablet] at each of the eight cardinal directions surrounding the Heavenly Palace.
"Once activated, this Formation will directly siphon the Origin Qi from the space within its bounds, using the entire territory of the Heavenly Palace as a sacrifice to detonate the very Foundation of this place!"
As Xia Xuanji described it, the temperature within the Divine Hall seemed to plummet to freezing point.
"At that moment, all vitality within the Heavenly Palace will be stripped away. The Spiritual Qi will instantly transform into deadly, baleful Qi.
"Cultivators below the Mahayana Stage won't even have a chance to flee. Their Physical Bodies and Divine Souls will rapidly decay, turning into pus and blood!"
"Even ordinary Mahayana Stage Cultivators will be firmly trapped within the Formation. Their Divine Souls will be slowly assimilated, ultimately dissipating into nothingness.
"Only those who have reached the Realm of a Supreme Being might barely resist the invasion of this array!"
Xia Xuanji looked at Chu Lingyue, her voice filled with lingering fear. "What's even more terrifying is that once this [World-Fall Great Array] is set up and activated, even a Supreme Being would find it extremely difficult to forcibly break it open from the outside."
Hearing this, Chu Lingyue felt a chill run down her spine. Cold sweat soaked through her clothes.
If Wang Yang hadn't suddenly descended today, if Xia Xuanji hadn't forcefully deduced this hidden danger using the power of Dual Cultivation...
Had it been activated without their knowledge, everyone in Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace besides her, a Supreme Being—including her dear disciple Jiang Yutang—would likely have been left with no place to bury their bones!
"Then how do we break the Formation?!" Chu Lingyue asked urgently.
"To break it, we must forcibly shatter those eight [void silence bone tablets] before the Formation is activated."
Xia Xuanji shook her head helplessly, her eyes filled with powerlessness. "But the result of my deduction just now shows that even with my power at the Peak of the ninth layer of the Mahayana Stage, breaking one would require slowly grinding away at it."
Xia Xuanji turned her gaze to Wang Yang, her eyes full of entreaty:
"Revered Master-husband, do you know what this [void silence bone tablet] truly is? My Xingyan Immortal Sect has a long Legacy, and our archives contain countless secrets of the Spirit Realm, yet there isn't a single word recorded about this object. It seems this must be a product of that [Void Silence Abyss]."
Instantly, the gazes of all the women present focused on Wang Yang.
Seeing this, a slight upward curve touched the corner of Wang Yang's mouth.
An opportunity to show off had arrived once again, hadn't it?
Outwardly, he remained calm, putting on an inscrutable, profound appearance. Inwardly, he had already awakened the System in his mind, directly checking the detailed information about the [void silence bone tablet].
A moment later, Wang Yang let out a light chuckle, his tone so casual it was as if he were discussing a trivial matter:
"This [void silence bone tablet] is a special Material forged by the Revered Master of the Void Silence Abyss—[Lord of Extinction Yuan Ji]. He extracted his own rib bones and refined them using the endless Death Qi within the Abyss."
"What?!" Chu Lingyue and Xia Xuanji exclaimed simultaneously. Using his own ribs for Artifact Refining?
Just what kind of monster was this Lord of Oblivion!
Ignoring their shock, Wang Yang continued his explanation in that infuriatingly bland tone:
"Because it is the lifebound bone of a Supreme Being, Cultivators below the Supreme Being Realm cannot inflict any substantial damage upon it.
"Eight [void silence bone tablets] are sufficient to set up a single [World-Fall Great Array], its power enough to annihilate a Supreme Sect like Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace."
At this point, Wang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone finally taking on a hint of chilling intent:
"But that's not the most terrifying part. According to my deduction, if that old ghost successfully activates eight [World-Fall Great Arrays], it could trigger a horrific calamity known as the 'Tide of Void Silence.'"
"That would be a wave of black nothingness sweeping across the entire plane.
"Wherever it passes, all matter, energy, even Divine Souls, will be slowly assimilated. In the end, the entire Spirit Realm will be completely devoured and assimilated by the [Void Silence Abyss], transforming into a lifeless land of utter nothingness!"
Within the Divine Hall, you could hear a pin drop.
The words 'world-ending cataclysm' materialized at this moment into that terrifying image of the black tide.
