In a moment, he broke through two lines.

    Chen Yun's authority shocked many cultivation experts from Later Tang, Nanping, and Southern Wu, as well as countless soldiers and commanders!

    Those cultivators knew its might long ago.

    But no one had expected that Chen Yun would be so formidable.

    The Heavenly Destruction Array easily captured Guo Wuwei.

    The Earthly Destruction Array unleashed full force, crushing Zhao Guizhen along with the entire array into powder!

    Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers of Nanping and Southern Wu, such as Gao Jixin and Xu Zhigao, were already pale with fear.

    Gao Chongui is the son of Gao Jixin and the second future king of Nanping.

    Seeing Chen Yun's might, he exclaimed with wide eyes, "How could this Mr. Chen's grand method be so awe-inspiring?"

    General Ni Kefu was also full of terror, "This divine person is so terrifying. I fear that in our army, only Mr. Liang could match him."

    Gao Jixin and Xu Zhigao did not speak.

    However, they were already shocked deeply in their hearts.

    As the first king of Nanping, Gao Jixin, surviving amidst countless powerful forces, naturally had no complaints about his mindset.

    However, at this moment, he saw Chen Yun's overwhelming presence, and felt truly helpless.

    As if, if the Mr. Chen who broke the array on the city walls were to kill him, no one in the world could stop him.

    As for Xu Zhigao, although he had seen Chen Yun's boundless might before, the previous time Chen Yun's display was more about showing off his skills.

    This time, it was a real showdown.

    Of course, he breathed in slightly, shaking.

    It was as if a sense of fear from being dominated spread from the innermost parts of his being to every limb.

    Upon hearing General Ni Kefu's words,

    Liang Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Seeing Mr. Chen's might this time, even I might not be able to match him without relying on the treasure."

    "What?" Gao Conghui was shocked, "Mr. Liang, you can't even be a match for Mr. Chen?"

    Gao Jixin and all the other Nanping generals couldn't help but widen their eyes.

    They had witnessed too many miraculous aspects of Liang Zhen.

    In their eyes, Liang Zhen was a true sage, invincible.

    Now, this person who is considered invincible throughout the world said that he isn't even a match for Chen Yun.

    This shocked Gao Jixin, Gao Conghui, Ni Kefu, and others greatly.

    Xue Wenjie sighed and said, "You all don't know how formidable Mr. Chen is. He hasn't even shown his most powerful abilities yet. I estimate that there are only a few people in the world who can defeat him, at least those who have reached the late stage of the founder's realm. Mr. Liang may have a high cultivation level, but he is only at the middle stage of the founder's realm. Relying solely on his own cultivation, it is indeed difficult for him to defeat Mr. Chen."

    Upon hearing Xue Wenjie's explanation, Gao Jixin and Xu Zhigao, as well as others, became even more secretly shocked in their hearts.

    The demon god transformed into a towering figure of 45 zhang, spewing thunder and fire was not his strongest move.

    Then, what is the most formidable technique of this Mr. Chen?

    This left them feeling suffocated, as if they were facing an army of tens of thousands of horses for the first time, which was much more terrifying than facing an endless army.

    Liang Zhen admitted openly, "Indeed, it is nearly impossible for me to defeat Mr. Chen with my own cultivation. For instance, the Ten-Direction Extinction Array, even if I know where the array core is located, I cannot explode the array with my own power. The main reason is that every formation in the Ten-Direction Extinction Array is itself a small universe. Only when a founder realm late-stage expert fully unleashes their power can they explode it. Otherwise, only by capturing the master of the array can we break open the array. My current realm is still not powerful enough to perform such a difficult task as exploding the array."

    Xue Wenjie and the other cultivators there nodded slightly in agreement.

    Of course, they knew the difficulty of exploding the Ten-Direction Extinction Array.

    To put it bluntly, even if a founder realm late-stage expert unleashes their full power to explode an array, the counter-reaction force of the array is still beyond their endurance.

    Chen Yun not only exploded the array but also withstood the counter-reaction force of the array's destruction with his powerful physique.

    This kind of strength is already unparalleled among those who have not attained enlightenment.

    Therefore, if we exclude such an "abnormal" cultivator like Chen Yun,

    It would at least require a god to break the array under the premise of not knowing where the array core is located.

    Only if one has the cultivation level of a founder realm and knows the exact location of the array core, and then takes advantage of the weak spot in the array to capture the master of the array, would there be a chance to break through the Ten-Direction Extinction Array.

    For instance, before Chen Yun's arrival, the cultivators on the side of Later Tang had only Huang Wanyou who had the ability to break the array. However, his attempt to break the array was limited to knowing where the array core was located.

    In fact, Huang Wanyou was not proficient in the art of arrays. Therefore, even though the cultivators from Later Tang had fought with Nanping many times before, they had never discovered the location of the array core.

    Unlike Chen Yun, who is a member of the True Inner Academy and has encountered countless arrays, as well as divine techniques such as the Dragon Slaying Art, he understands how most arrays operate, which allows him to recognize the array core at a glance.

    To put it bluntly, if Chen Yun had not appeared here today, Later Tang would have had little chance of breaking the Ten-Direction Extinction Array without inviting a deity to intervene.

    Gao Jixin and Xu Zhigao were despondent.

    If even Liang Zhen cannot match him, who can?

    Unexpectedly, Liang Zhen changed the subject and said, "Of course, the cultivators we rely on are not necessarily our own strength. If we possess one or two powerful talismans or treasures, even inferior magicians may have a chance to kill a founder realm cultivator. I may not have many talismans or treasures, but there are indeed one or two that are worth mentioning."

    Gao Conghui was overjoyed, even becoming somewhat unbalanced as he asked, "May I ask, Mr. Liang, what is the treasure you rely on? What makes it so powerful?"

    Gao Jixin, Xu Zhigao, and other soldiers looked towards Liang Zhen.

    Xue Wenjie and the other cultivators were also like this.

    Everyone wanted to know what Liang Zhen's biggest trump card was.

    Such a trump card, logically speaking, Liang Zhen should not reveal it to anyone.

    After all, with more people knowing, if this information spreads, it will be very disadvantageous when fighting with others in the future.

    People who know it might be able to "target the cure for the disease."

    Just now, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liang Zhen gave some thought and decided to reveal a little information to avoid causing chaos.

    He smiled and said, "The reliance I have is threefold."

    Xu Zhigao asked respectfully, "Mr. Liang, what are the three?"

    Liang Zhen said, "The first is the Ten-Direction Extinction Array. This array, both the heaven and earth arrays are good to break. The later ones are harder to break. Especially the human extinction array, it is more powerful against human cultivators, and finally the total array that I personally host can be truly unstoppable for anyone below a deity."

    Xu Zhigao blinked and asked, "Mr. Liang's meaning is that Mr. Chen cannot break the Ten-Direction Extinction Array?"

    "I'm sure he won't be able to break the human extinction array." Liang Zhen said with confidence.

    Xu Zhigao asked again, "Then what about the other two things you rely on?"

    Gao Jixin, Gao Conghui, Ni Kefu, and others all leaned in.

    Xue Wenjie and the other cultivators listened attentively as well.

    Liang Zhen swept his eyes over everyone, with one hand resting behind his back, and said, "The second is the mysterious defensive talisman you have all seen, which has an unimaginable defense. No one below a deity can break it."

    This was something that Xue Wenjie and the other cultivators had all seen before.

    Previously, Huang Wanyou had tried to fight Liang Zhen.

    However, no matter how Huang Wanyou used magic, he could not break through Liang Zhen's defensive talisman.

    Gao Jixin, Gao Conghui, and Xu Zhigao, as well as others, had also witnessed it.

    At this moment, Liang Zhen slowly said, "The third is a wine jar I use for drinking. As for the power of this treasure, I am not at liberty to reveal it to you all. The only thing I can tell you is that even my defensive talisman cannot withstand its power."

    What... what?

    The crane cloak has an unbreakable defense below the realm of gods.

    Now, Liang Zhen is saying that the wine jar used for drinking can disregard the defense of the crane cloak?

    Gao Jixin and Xu Zhigao couldn't help but look at each other.

    Xue Wenjie and the other cultivators could not help but be greatly shocked.

    Everyone knows of Liang Zhen's prowess.

    However, no one could have expected that his treasure was even more powerful.

    Xue Wenjie looked towards Chen Yun, who had just escorted Mr. Guan back, and a touch of worry appeared in his heart.

    After all, he had once received guidance from Chen Yun, who was akin to a half-teacher in his heart.

    Hoping that Mr. Chen won't suffer harm.

    Xue Wenjie silently prayed.

    At the same time, he had also secretly made up his mind.

    If Chen Yun really couldn't withstand Liang Zhen and was captured.

    He would definitely try to plead and save Chen Yun's life.

    ...

    On the other side, by the city gates.

    Chen Yun, who had just broken the Earth Extinction Array, returned to his original form with Mr. Guan and joined the cultivators beside them.

    He was still wearing the spiritual golden mail, white feather purple gold crown, flowing light swift shoes, and the hundred birds bright gold armor he had obtained from the Dragon Palace.

    These treasures can change their appearance at will when their true powers are not activated.

    Chen Yun had always let these treasures take on the appearance of ordinary Taoist robes.

    Just now, when he manifested his thunder and fire path body, these treasures reverted to their original form.

    Suddenly, Chen Yun transformed from the image of a floating Taoist in a green robe to a majestic figure clad in golden armor and silver armor, with a gold crown on his head, as if he was a war god.

    Sure enough, as soon as he and Mr. Guan returned to Cai Rujin and the others, they were greeted with admiration from the crowd.

    Huang Wanyou looked at Chen Yun's imposing figure and was inspired to recite a poem: "Golden armor and silver, bright and resplendent; white feathers and gold crown, shining brightly; wielding the divine sword, unparalleled in the world; exalting the morale of the three armies, like a demon god."

    Zhang Jianming showed respect with a serious expression and said, "Mr. Chen, your great Dao is truly amazing. In an instant, you were able to shake the Earth Extinction Array to the point of destruction. I am in awe of you."

    "Yes, Mr. Chen is truly formidable."

    "He broke through both the Heaven Extinction and Earth Extinction arrays as soon as he arrived."

    "Shao Guizhen is already well-known for his evil reputation. Even with the Earth Extinction Array, he couldn't withstand Mr. Chen's first strike."

    "Mr. Chen, unbeatable!"

    The cultivators all admired him immensely.

    Mr. Gan was even more grateful for Chen Yun's lifesaving grace, thanking him a thousand times and one.

    Of course, among those present, the most shocked person was Cai Rujin.

    In the earlier years, when he left the Transmission of Dao Temple with Zheng Wenshu, Chen Yun hadn't even reached the level of an inferior magician.

    Only two decades had passed since then, and the little uncle who needed him to protect him had become a figure that could only be worshipped.

    This moved Cai Rujin to tears.
