79: A perfect combination of skill and strategy, breaking through enemy lines with overwhelming force.

"Hold the Formation! Maximize energy output, link the defensive Formations!" Yun Hao's roar echoed through the communication arrays of every vanguard divine ark. He led the charge, his spear whirling like a wheel, the blazing golden light mixed with a trace of Chaos Qi, evaporating the Netherworld creatures that rushed forward in swathes. But the enemies surrounding them were simply too numerous, seemingly endless. Furthermore, the pale skeletal hands reaching out from the Void Realm carried the power to corrode Souls, constantly weakening the divine arks' defenses.

Yun Qiao's situation was equally difficult. Her Life Domain was originally the bane of the power of death, but now that she was trapped within the core of this meticulously arranged "Myriad Souls Devouring Heaven Grand Array," it was like sinking into a mire. Death Qi flowed endlessly, and vengeful spirits surged forward one after another. Her Domain was compressed, only able to protect the flagship and a few surrounding divine arks, and the speed of purification was far outstripped by the speed of corrosion.

"Brother, this Formation is devouring our Soul Power to replenish itself! We must find the core and break it!" Yun Qiao urgently transmitted, her face slightly pale.

How could Yun Hao not know? While fighting, he pushed his Divine Thought to the extreme, trying to find the weak point of the Formation amidst the chaotic energy currents. However, the Formation was a unified whole, and the Death Qi obscured his perception, making it impossible to penetrate in a short time.

Just as the protective barrier of a flank divine ark was about to shatter, grabbed by countless skeletal hands and dragged toward the depths of the Death Nebula—

"Qiao'er, assist me!" A fierce light flashed in Yun Hao's eyes, and he made his decision.

He no longer dispersed his strength attacking the minor enemies, but instead poured all his Soul Power, along with the wisp of Chaos Origin Qi bestowed by Yun Feng, into the long spear in his hand! The spear hummed, its golden light receding, replaced by a gray, hazy aura that seemed capable of destroying everything!

"Chaos... World-Breaking Spear!"

Yun Hao merged with his spear, transforming into a streak of gray spear light that tore through the Void Realm. Ignoring the surrounding attacks, he thrust directly toward the point where the Formation's energy was most concentrated! He was gambling, betting that this spot was one of the Formation's cores!

"Alright!" Yun Qiao understood instantly. She bit the tip of her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital essence blood containing her foundational life force, which merged into the phantom image of the Ancient Tree of Life.

"Life's Eulogy, Revival of All Things!"

The previously contracted emerald green Domain suddenly expanded in reverse. Instead of resisting the Death Qi head-on, it transformed into countless rays of light filled with extreme vitality, raining down upon the spear light that was Yun Hao's Incarnation! Life and death were fundamentally polar opposites. Yet, at this moment, this extreme vitality became the most powerful propellant for Yun Hao's destructive spear light!

*Swoosh—!*

Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the Chaos World-Breaking Spear Light, wrapped in the light rain of vitality, surged in power. It actually tore open a gap in the dense death energy barrier, its speed dramatically increasing as it slammed violently into the energy node Yun Hao had perceived!

"What?! How could they possibly..." Deep within the Netherworld, the Skeleton Lord's smug sneer instantly froze as he sensed the violent tremor and tearing sensation coming from a core point of the Formation.

*Rumble—!!!*

At the struck Formation node, countless vengeful spirits wailed and were annihilated, and the pale skeletal hands shattered piece by piece! The entire "Myriad Souls Devouring Heaven Grand Array" shook violently, and its operation experienced a momentary stagnation!

Although they failed to break the Grand Array in one go, this momentary stagnation was undoubtedly a valuable chance for the vanguard fleet, trapped in the heavy encirclement, to catch their breath! The offensive of the surrounding Netherworld creatures eased slightly.

"Now is the time! All units, maximum power, break through toward the gap!" Yun Hao gritted his teeth, enduring the sharp pain coming from his Meridians (the backlash from forcibly activating the Chaos Origin), and roared hoarsely.

Thirty divine arks seized this fleeting opportunity. Their protective barriers linked together, and their overloaded engines erupted with dazzling light. Like arrows shot from a bowstring, they rushed toward the weak point forcibly torn open by Yun Hao!

"Stop them!" The Skeleton Lord's furious voice transmitted through the Formation.

More Netherworld powerhouses appeared from the depths of the Death Nebula, including two figures whose auras were comparable to Legendary Early Stage Nether Generals, heading straight for the fleet attempting to break out!

"Your opponent is me!" Yun Hao took a deep breath, suppressed his injuries, and held his spear horizontally. Golden and gray auras intertwined, firmly blocking the path of the two Nether Generals. Meanwhile, Yun Qiao controlled her Life Domain, desperately purifying the surging Death Qi and vengeful spirits, covering the retreat of the fleet.

Whether the vanguard fleet could successfully break out depended entirely on whether Yun Hao and Yun Qiao could withstand this final counterattack!
