Humm.
Boundless and erratic Spiritual Energy swept out across the starry sky. The gigantic Spiritual Array that seemed to be formed from stars immediately started to circulate. Starlight condensed, while fluctuations that caused people to tremble spread out.
A grave expression appeared on Mu Chen's face as he did not dare to show the slightest bit of neglect. With a Spiritual Array of this level, even the slightest mistake might cause him to not be able to walk out of this Spiritual Array House today.
His sharp gaze swept across the complicated Spiritual Array in an attempt to find a pattern. However, he quickly gave up. The Spiritual Array here was no longer as simple as before. Instead, it was filled with genuine killing intent.
Furthermore, the Spiritual Array was clearly under control. However, it wasn't Ling Xi who was controlling it, but the "Spiritual Array House". Having reached such a level, a Spiritual Artifact already possessed a simple consciousness of its own. There was no need for Ling Xi to control it in the slightest to display the might of this Spiritual Artifact.
Therefore, it was clearly impossible for Mu Chen to find the array core of the Spiritual Array like before and destroy it so easily.
Bang!
The Spiritual Array ferociously revolved as a ray of starlight condensed over. Unexpectedly, it transformed into a gigantic meteorite. Tearing through the horizon at an astonishing speed, it instantly enveloped a hundred metre radius around Mu Chen.
The pressure caused Mu Chen's robes to flutter. With a grave expression on his face, he rapidly retreated. At the same time, his hand seal changed. Boundless Spiritual Energy gushed out, forming a starry sky behind him as a white tiger strode through the air.
Roar!
The white tiger roared as it strode through the starry sky. Transforming into starlight, it violently smashed against the incoming meteorite.
Boom!
At the instant of impact, the entire starry sky seemed to tremble. Erratic Spiritual Energy shockwaves wreaked havoc as they swept out, shattering the white tiger's starlight obstructing its path.
Feeling as if he had suffered a heavy blow, Mu Chen miserably retreated back, while a sweet taste gushed out from his throat.
However, it was forcefully suppressed by him as his gaze grew increasingly grave. Indeed, this Spiritual Array wasn't easy to deal with.
Rumble!
When the curtains of the attack were drawn, the Spiritual Array completely erupted. As the Spiritual Array revolved, a myriad of rays of brilliance appeared. Rays of starlight condensed as the meteorite took shape once again.
Mu Chen furrowed his brows. This Spiritual Array had to be broken as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later.
"Since I can't see through you, I'll just have to forcefully break through!"
A cold light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes. During the previous training, Ling Xi didn't allow him to break the formation recklessly.
Therefore, Mu Chen could only choose that method. However, if he continued to do so, he might not even be able to keep his life.
If the Spiritual Array in front of them were to truly be activated, its might might be comparable to that of a genuine Heavenly Completion Stage Middle Stage expert, and would even be slightly stronger than Xue Shi.
Therefore, Mu Chen had to get rid of it as soon as possible.
With an idea in mind, Mu Chen no longer hesitated. Black Flame Spiritual Energy spread out and formed a starry sky behind him.
However, this time around, the starry sky was extremely vast. Within the starry sky, there were three gigantic beasts.
It quickly took shape.
"Four Gods Constellation Scripture, White Tiger Divine Seal!"
"Black Tortoise Divine Seal!"
"Vermillion Bird Divine Seal!"
This time, Mu Chen took action.
Without the slightest bit of restraint, the three great Divine Seals were unleashed at the same time. Spiritual Energy blotted the skies as the three gigantic beasts' long roars shook the skies, their might reaching a rather terrifying level.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Within the Spiritual Array, meteorites started to form, hiding the skies and covering the earth as they rumbled towards Mu Chen.
With a frosty expression on his face, Mu Chen formed a fist seal with both of his hands, before sending a punch rumbling out.
Roar!
In the starry sky behind him, three gigantic beasts instantly roared out, bringing along incomparably berserk Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Akin to three peerless ferocious beasts, they violently smashed against the meteorites that blotted the skies.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Under the collision of the three beasts, the meteorites rapidly shattered apart. Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the three beasts smashed straight against the gigantic Spiritual Array. As astonishing Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc, the Spiritual Array instantly started to violently tremble, before collapsing apart.
Specks of light that blotted the skies descended. Looking at the collapsed Spiritual Array, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He had finally destroyed the Spiritual Array.
However, his sigh of relief only lasted for a few breaths' time, before his expression started to turn ugly, bit by bit.
That's because he saw boundless Spiritual Energy unexpectedly condensing at the location where the Spiritual Array had been destroyed. As rays of light rippled, another Spiritual Array surfaced. Although this Spiritual Array was different from the previous one, the fluctuations radiating from it were still as powerful as before.
Furthermore, Mu Chen was able to see that there seemed to be an even larger Spiritual Array condensing and taking shape at the outer perimeter of this Spiritual Array.
Hiss.
This scene immediately caused Mu Chen to suck in a breath of cold air, while his face turned slightly pale. This Spiritual Array House was actually able to arrange its own Spiritual Array! How was this a Spiritual Artifact? This was basically a Spiritual Array Master that possessed considerable experience in arranging Spiritual Arrays!
Furthermore, it was a Spiritual Array Master of a higher level than him. Perhaps, it had already reached the level of a Spiritual Array Grandmaster.
"What a terrifying Spiritual Artifact."
Mu Chen's heart trembled. This Spiritual Array House was too powerful. Whoever possessed it would basically be equivalent to possessing the most obedient Spiritual Array Grandmaster. Furthermore, it would not have the slightest bit of resistance, and would act according to your orders, unleashing its greatest power.
No wonder Sun 'er had said that it possessed the ability to trap Sovereign Realm existences. Previously, Mu Chen was still a little doubtful. However, at this moment, he no longer dared to have the slightest bit of doubt.
"Looks like this won't work."
Mu Chen's expression turned solemn. Although, according to what Ling Xi had said, the Spiritual Array House seemed to have only opened the first level, it was clearly more than enough to deal with him. Therefore, if he were to use force, he would clearly not be a match for the Spiritual Array House.
Since he couldn't use force, he could only search for a trick.
Mu Chen's eyebrows were tightly knitted together. After a long while, he took a deep breath. From the looks of it, the only way for him to leave this Spiritual Array House was to open his Heart's Eye.
Furthermore, the amount of time he could endure it was not long. Within this period of time, if he was unable to open it, only death would await him.
"There really is no other way out."
Mu Chen muttered to himself. However, not the slightest bit of fear was present within his eyes. On the contrary, they were bright and sharp. Staring at the gigantic circulating Spiritual Array, he slowly closed his eyes.
Once again, he submerged himself into the Heart's Array State, searching for the mysteries within.
Bang!
Bang! As Mu Chen closed his eyes, the Spiritual Array had already started to circulate.
Surges of Spiritual Energy surged forth, howling out like giant dragons as they smashed towards Mu Chen.
At this moment, Mu Chen had pushed the Dragon Soaring Technique to its limits, evading the surges of Spiritual Energy. As for the attacks that he was unable to evade, he could only forcefully endure them. Therefore, in a short span of half a minute, blood had already started to seep out from his body, which was covered in black lightning.
From the looks of it, he appeared exceedingly miserable.
Mu Chen did not pay any attention to the injuries on his body that were gradually worsening. At this moment, his state of mind was akin to an endless abyss, without the slightest bit of ripples. The outside world had been isolated.
At this moment, his state of mind seemed to slowly sink into the deepest part of his heart.
Outside the Spiritual Array House, Su 'er's little face was pale as she looked at the screen of light before her. Within it, frightening Spiritual Energy surges howled out, while Mu Chen's figure appeared exceedingly small and insignificant within. Every time an attack landed on his body, the latter would violently tremble.
Fresh blood spurted out, causing him to appear as though he was made of blood.
Beside Su 'er, Ling Xi's beautiful eyes were also focused on the screen of light. However, her expression appeared much more indifferent.
Quietly looking at the figure of the youth, who was surrounded by perils within the boundless surges of Spiritual Energy, she felt as though nothing in this world would be able to cause too much of a fluctuation in her emotions.
Bang!
Mu Chen's body was swept by a Spiritual Energy current.
A malevolent-looking wound instantly split open on his chest.
The wound was so deep that even his bones could be seen, while blood gushed out. Black lightning rays crazily sparkled, helping him negate the damage.
At this moment, the Spiritual Energy that was curling around Mu Chen's body had already become weak, just like his life force at this moment.
At the same time, Mu Chen's state of mind had also sensed the feeling of gradually weakening, faintly giving off the feeling of death.
The mysterious feeling had already appeared. However, he was still unable to truly open his Heart's Eye.
Just a little bit more!
A furious roar seemed to ring out within Mu Chen's heart. Just a little bit more, yet he was still unable to open the Heart's Eye in the depths of his heart!
Still not enough!
The threat of death was still not enough!
Mu Chen's eyes fiercely snapped open, while a hint of craziness pulsed within his black pupils. Although his body had already suffered heavy injuries, it was still not enough!
Clenching his teeth, he unexpectedly shot out in a perfectly straight line, taking the initiative to rush towards a Spiritual Energy current sweeping towards him.
Outside the Spiritual Array House, seeing his crazed actions, Su 'er instantly shrieked in fright.
Ling Xi's expression was still calm, yet her beautiful eyes grew increasingly focused.
Bang!
The Spiritual Energy current swept towards Mu Chen's body, causing blood to seemingly spurt out like a fountain. Shooting backwards, his body appeared to have caved in a little, while the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body started to dim down bit by bit.
It was as if they were about to dissipate.
At this moment, Mu Chen's consciousness started to turn dark bit by bit, while a thick feeling of death gushed out from his heart. As death enveloped him, his mind seemed to have sunk into the endless darkness.
As the darkness persisted to its limits, something seemed to tremble within the darkness. In the end, a newborn eye seemed to slowly open up within the darkness.
As Mu Chen's mind fell into the darkness of death, the Spiritual Array House did not stop. As the Spiritual Energy current howled out, hiding the skies and covering the earth, it rumbled towards Mu Chen, who was floating in the air.
"Elder sister Ling Xi, quickly save him!" said Su 'er anxiously as she hastily grabbed onto Ling Xi's wrist.
With a soft sigh, Ling Xi faintly raised her jade-like hand.
However, just as she was about to take action, within the light screen, boundless black light suddenly erupted from Mu Chen's body. As the black light enveloped him, it rapidly condensed, transforming into a gigantic black pagoda, protecting him within it.
Bang!
Bang!
The Spiritual Energy current violently smashed against the black pagoda, causing resplendent rays of brilliance to instantly erupt.
"Eh?"
Seeing this, Su 'er gawked, before taking a deep breath of relief. So big brother Mu Chen was prepared for this.
"Elder sister Ling Xi."
Raising her head to look at Ling Xi, Su 'er was astonished to see that the latter was currently blankly staring at the black pagoda enveloping Mu Chen within the light screen, while her lovable figure faintly trembled. This was the first time in a long time that Su' er had seen such an expression on her face.
