At the front of the array, Chen Yun and Xue Wenjie did not rush to engage in a fight, and both sides continued to chat on the other side.
After a few idle chatter, Xue Wenjie said, "Master, since you are ready, let's break the array."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Good."
Suddenly changing his previous respect, Xue Wenjie joked, "Master, if you want to break my current array, it might be difficult for you. If you accidentally lose me a few moves in a row during your match, don't blame Xue for being impolite."
Chen Yun laughed heartily, "If you can defeat me, Chen is so happy that he can't wait. You can come on and let's have a match."
He's not an idiot; of course, he understands that while Xue Wenjie seems to be challenging, he is actually reminding himself not to take it lightly.
As the master of the array called "Underworld Subduing Array," Xue Wenjie naturally knows how powerful the array is.
Now saying this, it's obvious that he's telling himself that the array "Underworld Subduing" is extraordinarily powerful and differs from the previous eight arrays.
As for more information, everyone has their own master. Xue Wenjie definitely cannot reveal a single detail.
And Chen Yun knows that soon after, Xue Wenjie will not hold back, the host of the array will give his full effort.
Chen Yun actually admires Xue Wenjie's ability to distinguish between public and private matters.
It's the public that's public, and the private that's private.
This is a person's responsibility and virtue.
Indeed, Xue Wenjie is reminding Chen Yun of the dreadfulness of the Underworld Subduing Array.
Others may not understand the power of the Underworld Subduing Array, but Xue Wenjie certainly does.
The Ten-Directional Extinction Array, apart from the total array, has a power one tenth greater than the previous array.
Chen Yun and the Venerable Miaoshan break through eight arrays consecutively.
As of now, it is the ninth array.
Therefore, the true power of the Underworld Subduing Array is probably about twice that of the Heavens Extinction Array.
That is not the most crucial point.
The most crucial point is that the onlookers are clear and the special attributes of the Underworld Subduing Array.
The saying "the onlooker sees clearly" is easy to explain.
Chen Yun stands outside the array to observe the situation.
He can analyze in time where the array core is.
But if one is deeply immersed within it, it's not so easy to distinguish.
In addition, the attributes of the Underworld Subduing Array are all different from those of the previous arrays.
The first eight arrays, apart from the Human Extinction Array that poses an incredibly perilous threat to human cultivators, are all corresponding to natural power that can be traced for everything.
For example, the Heavens Extinction Array corresponds to thunder, the Earth Extinction Array corresponds to earth, the four cardinal directions' arrays correspond to wood, fire, metal, and water respectively, and the Upper Extinction Array corresponds to yang energy, while the Lower Extinction Array corresponds to yin energy.
This array has the ability to exhaust all the souls and ghosts in the world.
If the "Divine" power of the one breaking the array is weaker than the array itself, their spirit and soul will be immediately extracted from their body, crushed by the power within the array, and thereby vanish into thin air.
Normal cultivators, unless they are specially trained in the "Divine" and have cultivated to the level of a patriarch, may only be able to resist the power of the array.
Chen Yun's ferocious combat power, without having transformed into a Dao Body, is indeed comparable to the later stages of the Patriarch realm.
But he is not a cultivator who specializes in the "Divine," and it seems almost impossible for him to withstand the power of the Underworld Subduing Array.
Therefore, Xue Wenjie had reminded Chen Yun to pay attention to this array.
Chen Yun does not know that the Underworld Subduing Array is so perilous.
However, whether Xue Wenjie reminds him or not.
His attitude towards enemies has always been to maintain the utmost vigilance, not to take things lightly.
Thinking about it, Chen Yun and Xue Wenjie flew into the Underworld Subduing Array one after another.
...
The city wall.
By the side of Liang Zhen, there were only some cultivators with lower levels of cultivation left.
The powerful ones are all the array masters, and they have all been captured by Chen Yun and his avatar Miaoshan Daoist.
Seeing Chen Yun enter the array, an old woman who was leaning on a cane sighed, "Mr. Chen, although he has incredible mastery, the Underworld Subduing Array is infinitely powerful. I'm afraid he will suffer a great ordeal today."
Another cultivator, resembling a child, also said, "Yes, unless Master Xue shows mercy, Mr. Chen will definitely not be able to break the array. Even... he might lose his life."
"Underworld Subduing Array can consume the souls of all things in the world. If the array master is strong enough, even gods cannot help."
"Master Xue may only have the cultivation level of a high-level wizard, but when it comes to manipulating the array and killing cultivators below the level of immortals, it's as easy as pie."
"The only variable now is that Master Xue seems to have a history with Mr. Chen, and it's up to whether he will show mercy or not."
A group of cultivators from Nanping and Nanwu were whispering and discussing among themselves.
Liang Zhen did not join in the discussions among the cultivators.
He kept his eyes focused on the Underworld Subduing Array.
He of course knows how terrible the Underworld Subduing Array is.
One could say that if one is not aware of the subtleties of this array.
Even if he, Liang Zhen, were to break into the array, there would be no way to escape.
To be honest, although Chen Yun has formidable combat power, without understanding the secrets of the Underworld Subduing Array, he is bound to lose.
However, for some reason, Liang Zhen had a strange premonition. He felt that Chen Yun would very likely break through the array.
The premonition of a cultivator is generally not for no reason.
Liang Zhen knew that his premonition must be due to an intuitive sense of something, deep within the cosmos.
In other words, Chen Yun may possess great abilities that allow him to break through the array.
"What incredible power does he possess that allows him to break through my Underworld Subduing Array?"
Liang Zhen stared without blinking.
...
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and others didn't know that the Underworld Subduing Array was terrible. After all, they had never broken through this barrier before.
However, Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and others were clever people. They could discern the danger of the array from Xue Wenjie's words before he entered the array.
Mr. Geng's face looked somewhat serious and he said, "I hope Mr. Chen won't be harmed."
Zhang Jianming hummed a "yes" and said, "We should still prepare ourselves in case Mr. Chen truly loses. Then we can offer timely aid."
Cai Rujin and Huang Wanyou did not speak, but they had already somehow appeared with their respective artifacts in their hands.
It can be seen from this that their thoughts are the same as Zhang Jianming and Geng Mr.'s, and they are prepared to save Chen Yun's life without hesitation in case of any situation.
However, what shocked the crowd was that as soon as the cultivators on both sides had such a thought, there came a thunderous boom from the Underworld Subduing Array in front.
Then, all of the soldiers from Tang Army, as well as cultivators from Nanping and Nanwu, saw a flash of gold light in the array, followed by a sudden burst of the array, which instantly cracked like spider webs with countless cracks.
This situation only lasted for a moment.
In an instant, the golden light soared into the sky.
...
Everyone rushed to look.
The next moment, a heart-stopping scene was etched into everyone's eyes.
Only in the midst of the sky-high golden light could one suddenly see a sacred statue emerging.
This sacred statue stands one hundred and sixty-six feet tall, all of its body shimmering with golden light like a blazing sun. It has nine hands and twelve heads, holding the exquisite necklaces, umbrellas, flower wands, fish intestines, gold bows, silver spears, blesses the golden hammer, precious scissors and gold bottle!
At the moment of its manifestation, an aura of sacredness and inviolability swept out, filling the air instantly. It evoked a sense of prostration and reverence in people's hearts.
At this moment, Chen Yun looked like a withered corpse, as if all his energy had been drained.
However, above his forehead, the golden light transformed into a petal of golden lotus blossoms that rolled up into jubilee clouds. The sacred statue that stands one hundred and sixty-six feet tall is seated inside.
And around the sacred statue, there were also countless small, thumb-sized, pure and sacred flowers constantly falling.
Heavenly flowers falling everywhere, golden lotus blooming!
Such a powerful skill made people gape in awe!
Liang Zhen's pupils contracted for a moment.
It seemed that he had never imagined that Chen Yun would have the ability to show the secret of a one-hundred-sixty-six-foot-high Buddha statue, which is a specialized Buddhist skill called 'Yuan Shen Dahua'!
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and other cultivators from the Later Tang were all taken aback and widened their eyes abruptly.
Their knowledge is extensive, and they can immediately recognize that this is the Buddhist Supreme Skill, One-hundred-sixty-six-foot-high Golden Body!
No one had expected that Chen Yun, an orthodox Taoist of the Mystic Realm practicing internal Dan techniques, would have such a great skill as the One-hundred-sixty-six-foot-high Golden Body!
Because of this, everyone was momentarily struck dumb.
However, just as everyone was stunned, a terrifying scene emerged.
As soon as Chen Yun's one-hundred-sixty-six-foot-high Golden Body manifested, the golden light emanating from his body burst out like a heavenly calamity splitting the earth, spreading outward in all directions. The Underworld Subduing Array was instantly shattered by the shockwaves of Chen Yun's attack!
One move!
In just one move, he broke through the Underworld Subduing Array!
Liang Zhen was stunned.
Cai Rujin was also motionless in place.
Cai Rujin and all other enemies and allies cultivators couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air, as they watched the sacred statue with its golden light exploding!
Especially those cultivators who had previously thought that Chen Yun would surely die, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Everyone had known that Chen Yun was formidable, but no one had expected him to be able to break through the Underworld Subduing Array with just one move!
...
Chen Yun, who had just shattered the Underworld Subduing Array with a resounding explosion, quickly retracted the sacred statue.
His body quickly returned to normal.
He smiled and looked at the remaining platform in front of him, which was occupied by Xue Wenjie, "Brother Xue, you have been defeated. I still have not decided whether to capture you or not. Why don't you leave this trouble-making place quickly?"
Xue Wenjie was also stunned before.
Just now, when Xue Wenjie saw Chen Yun enter the array, he immediately waved his soot-colored flag to activate the power of the Underworld Subduing Array.
The successive waves of soul-depleting force, which were like rolling thick smoke, suddenly enveloped Chen Yun in an instant.
However, to Xue Wenjie's surprise, when the rolling thick smoke dissipated, Chen Yun was unscathed.
Then, Chen Yun unleashed the One-hundred-Sixty-Six-Foot Golden Body to shatter the great array.
Xue Wenjie had seen the One-hundred-Sixty-Six-Foot Golden Body before and knew its terrifying power.
But he couldn't help but wonder how Chen Yun managed to withstand the soul-draining force of the array.
Because the soul-draining force was released first.
Chen Yun demonstrated the One-hundred-Sixty-Six-Foot Golden Body after.
It could never be that the One-hundred-Sixty-Six-Foot Golden Body broke through the soul-draining force.
Although he couldn't figure it out, as he saw Chen Yun willing to spare him, Xue Wenjie immediately bowed deeply to the front, "Thank you, Teacher, for not killing me. Xue will leave this place now."
As he finished speaking, Xue Wenjie didn't even look at Liang Zhen, Gao Ji Xing, and Xu Zhidao, and simply took off towards the south on a cloud underfoot.
Chen Yun watched as Xue Wenjie left, and a faint sigh lingered in his heart.
Don't look at it like I easily shattered the Underworld Subduing Array just now; in reality, it's not that simple at all.
The danger he had faced was only known to himself.
When Chen Yun entered the Underworld Subduing Array just now, he immediately felt a powerful force that wanted to forcefully pull his soul out of his body, a force that was irresistible.
To be honest, this force was too strange.
Even if he demonstrated the One-hundred-Sixty-Six-Foot Golden Body, he might not have a guarantee of breaking through it.
However, the miracle was that the white feather and golden crown played their part, emitting wave after wave of white feathers to shield his soul from the soul-draining force.
Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yun observed where the core of the array was hidden and unleashed the One-hundred-Sixty-Six-Foot Golden Body, concentrating all his strength together to shatter the Underworld Subduing Array in one blow.
If it weren't for the White Feather and Golden Crown, he might not have fared well today.
However, since the Underworld Subduing Array has been shattered now, Chen Yun won't think about it anymore.
He slowly turned around and looked towards the city tower, bowing again and speaking with full breath, "Liang brother, I and Sister MIAO Shan have broken your nine arrays. Now it's your turn to act!"
As soon as this was said, the stunned crowd immediately regained their composure.
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and others were overjoyed.
They had been blocked here for a long time, and finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory!
While Liang Zhen and the other cultivators from Nanping and Nanwu looked pale and unhappy.
Although Chen Yun came to shatter the array, he was supposed to be the "challenger."
But at this moment, he had already shattered nine arrays with great fanfare.
This made Liang Zhen and the other cultivators feel like they were the real "challengers."
While Chen Yun seemed like the ultimate big bad villain in a mythological story!
Everyone was secretly shocked, how could Chen Pu be so formidable?
