Chapter 146 Breaking the Illusion Array
The brief respite from the white mist lasted only a few breaths. How could a killing formation like the Thousand Illusions Bewildering Array be completely silenced by two supernatural powers?
As the elders of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion outside the formation continued to exert their powers, the illusion formation gradually returned to normal, and the torn opening gradually healed.
It became extremely difficult for Xia Linxian to fight against it, and the speed at which the formation operated became increasingly difficult to suppress.
Lin Yan dared not delay for even a moment. The Heavenly Evolution Disc hung above his head, and the array patterns swirled like a river of stars, recording the trajectories of all eighty-one array eyes that had just been suppressed by Juntian Dingyu.
Chu Tian pressed his hand on the hilt of the Divine Firmament Sword, merging his Dream Dao Heart Sutra with his Array Dao comprehension. His divine soul probed into the gap between reality and illusion, clarifying the boundary between the true array eye and the false illusion for Lin Yanli.
"The array's core is hidden in the very center of the sea of clouds, enveloped by three layers of barriers!" Sweat beaded on Lin Yan's forehead, but his eyes remained sharp. "Once the core barrier is shattered, the array will break!"
Before the words were even finished, the entire sea of clouds suddenly churned violently, the white mist swirling back like a raging torrent, and the final, ferocious power of the illusion array was unleashed!
Seeing that the Taoist priests had indeed found the key to the formation, the elder guarding the formation knew that the formation would be broken sooner or later, so he simply launched a final attack.
The attack within the formation was no longer an illusion; eight illusory assassins, each a phantom of a Heavenly Rank assassin, formed a deadly formation, their bodies enveloped in the power of the formation's origin, and they pressed down from all directions.
At the same time, countless array patterns appeared in the void, intertwining to form a cage that trapped the eleven people in the center. Wherever the array patterns passed, even the spiritual energy was locked in place.
The guardian elder outside the formation pushed the formation to its limit, triggering a new round of assassinations. Using the formation patterns as a prison, no one was spared!
"Protect the key points of the formation during the simulation!"
Cheng Hao roared, and his hundred-foot-tall Xuanwu Dharma Body grew even larger, with Xuanhuang spiritual light descending like a curtain from the sky.
He swept his Blazing Dragon Spear horizontally, the golden flames at the tip of the spear transforming into a raging inferno, forcefully blocking the four Heavenly Rank assassins who were charging towards him from the flames.
Despite the various attacks striking Luo's Xuanwu Dharma Body, only sparks flew. His physical body was like divine gold, remaining unharmed from beginning to end despite the violent killing power of the illusion.
Chu Tian stepped into the air, and Shenxiao was drawn from its sheath. The sword light was like purple lightning piercing the sky, and each strike could sever the connection between the illusion and the assassin.
His swordplay was incredibly sharp and powerful. His strong predictive ability allowed him to anticipate the assassins' movements, and he forced two assassins back with just three sword strikes.
The sound of the sword made the white mist tremble, forcing them to stop and not dare to move forward.
Liu Yiyi's petals, like flowers that are not flowers, fluttered in the air, transforming into sharp blades that wove a strangling net.
Qin Wan's Mountain and River Fan stirred up the spiritual energy of the mountains, which transformed into giant rocks that crashed down.
Ye Wei's cold star blade moved as fast as a shooting star, and she was in no way inferior when she clashed head-on with the assassin.
Su Qingyuan's dew-covered hairpin shone with a clear light, and countless tiny flying swords converged into a stream, rushing towards the attacker like a waterfall.
Mo Yuan's dark eyebrows and sword energy surged forth, his sword aura suppressing all, forming a pincer attack with Chu Tian.
Xia Yufei wielded her longsword, her moonlight spiritual power constantly dispelling the white mist. She was only at the Nascent Soul stage, while these assassins were all at the Divine Transformation stage. She could only continuously dispel the mist under the protection of the others, having no strength left to fight against these Heavenly Rank assassins.
The ten-person formation was like an iron barrel, combining offense and defense. No matter how powerful the illusion was, they never retreated an inch.
However, the eight Heavenly Rank assassins were empowered by the illusion array, making them impossible to kill and impossible to revive. The array patterns continued to shrink, squeezing everyone's living space.
The longer the delay, the more intense the consumption of spiritual energy.
Lin Yan had already locked onto the location of the core barrier, but the barrier was exceptionally sturdy, and ordinary attacks could not budge it in the slightest.
Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun set off at the same time again, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls were arranged in mid-air around Xia Linxian. The pearls drew upon the power of the five elements and laws of heaven and earth, and five-colored mysterious light intertwined. The Heavenly Secret Disc was suspended in the array and fixed in the core position.
His blue robes fluttered in the wind, and his voice was booming:
"The heavens are set in motion!"
A beam of mysterious light descended from the sky, suppressing the triple barrier at the core of the array!
The supreme suppressing power of the Zhenhai Pearl erupted completely, the barrier instantly froze, and the eight Heavenly Rank assassins were also suppressed and unable to move.
Li Jingyun followed closely behind, the tip of his Dragon Roar Sword pointing directly at the core barrier. The spiritual energy of the void surged wildly, accompanied by resounding dragon roars.
"Severing All Thoughts from the Void!"
The powerful sword light pierced straight into the core of the barrier. This sword strike precisely hit the origin node of the illusion array, striking the very foundation of the illusion array!
Chu Tianyi's Divine Firmament Sword shone brightly with purple light. He stepped into the void and took seven steps. With each step, a figure holding a sword remained in place.
After taking seven steps, seven figures moved simultaneously, wielding different sword techniques. Then, the seven figures merged into one, charging straight into the barrier with their swords!
"Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Technique!" Chu Tian shouted.
The instant Chu Tian's sword tip pierced the barrier, the immense recoil caused the white mist to scatter and the array patterns to retreat.
Even the people below and the assassins from Anxiang Tower were shaken and forced to take several steps back.
The purple sword energy withstood the recoil and impacted the barrier wave after wave. Finally, the Dao patterns on the barrier shattered inch by inch, and the connection between the illusion array and the assassin was completely severed!
With one strike, one slash, and one stab, the three worked together flawlessly.
This combined attack by the three was far more powerful than before, directly hitting the fatal weakness of the Thousand Illusions Bewildering Array!
"Now! Attack the core with full force!"
Chenghao took the initiative, his Blazing Dragon Spear carrying the power of the Xuanwu Dharma Body, piercing through the suppressed barrier with a single thrust.
Chu Tianyi was the closest, and disregarding the force of the recoil, the Divine Firmament Sword burst forth with light, piercing straight into the core.
The others simultaneously activated their magical treasures, unleashing all sorts of supernatural powers towards the core of the array!
Boom!!!
A deafening roar shook the sea of clouds, the white mist rapidly dissipated, the array patterns shattered, and the phantoms of the eight Heavenly Rank assassins vanished into thin air.
The sky cleared again, and the true outline of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion finally appeared clearly in front of everyone above the distant clouds.
"We've broken it! We've broken the Thousand Illusions Illusion Array!" Liu Yiyi couldn't hide her joy as petals of the Flower Not a Flower gently drifted down.
Lin Yan put away the Heavenly Evolution Disc and let out a long sigh of relief: "All eighty-one array nodes are destroyed. This illusion array is finally broken!"
Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and the tension they had been feeling for days finally eased a bit.
Chenghao dispersed his Xuanwu Dharma Body, and the blazing sun dragon spear shone with divine light. Although the spiritual power of the people in the Taoist academy was depleted, they were all in high spirits.
Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, but a trace of solemnity still lingered in their eyes.
"The methods of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion are quite strange, and we must never let our guard down," Xia Linxian reminded him.
"That's right. None of them have shown up yet, so things will only get more dangerous later on," Li Jingyun nodded in agreement.
The group composed themselves, formed formation again, and began their march toward the Dark Fragrance Pavilion.
After the sea of clouds beneath my feet was shaken apart, it silently and quietly regenerated.
The group maintained their formation and charged straight towards the Dark Fragrance Pavilion.
Strangely, they encountered no further obstacles; not only was there no one to stop them, but there were also no defensive formations.
Finally, the group arrived at the entrance of Anxiang Tower.
