Chapter 524: Chapter 366: Array Against Demon Heaven! Resplendent Ascendancy! Alliance Founded_3

"South, Fire-Departing."

Flames entwine, igniting True Essence.

"North, Suppress."

Pressure like mountains and seas presses down upon them.

"West, Sever!"

White light flickers, and two Early-Stage Golden Core Masters from the Demon Heaven side are instantly beheaded, their Golden Cores shattered.

With the array in motion, countless circuits are traversed, and the Spiritual Power gradually thins.

Cold Moon Ancestor’s expression is intensely cold, a murderous intent surrounds her, "Is this all?"

The expressions of the masters change drastically, realizing that the Spiritual Power has been run through, indicating the array is entering a brief cooldown.

This is the drawback of most killing arrays.

"Among the four directions, Qilin Transformation Array."

Zhong Heng speaks quietly.

The array revolves, transforming into the form of Five Elements perpetually cycling.

In the sky, the silhouettes of Four Holy Beasts emerge.

"White Tiger, Sharpness increase."

The True Essence of Zhong Heng’s side receives an additional Kangjin Power, the True Essence now as lethal as Sword Essence; Sunx Yue and other Sword Cultivators find their Sword Essence overwhelmingly sharp.

"Black Tortoise, Purity."

Injuries on the masters temporarily vanish, reaching peak condition, while True Essence Shields are instantly fortified.

"Vermilion Bird, Phoenix Blood."

The aura of the masters surges magnificently, advancing by a stage.

"Cyan Dragon, Unending."

In an instant, countless fine lines of Spiritual Power rain down upon them like Wandering Dragons, they immediately feel True Essence flowing endlessly.

Revitalized, they fervently slash towards the Demon Heaven Cultivators who have already expended a wave of energy.

Magic, sword light, Divine Techniques, Body Skills.

The Qu Hong Masters, who have endured for long, each display their skills. Explosions and blasts erupt in the air, soon accompanied by two or three figures plummeting from the sky.

"I don’t believe! You have any other tricks left!"

Cold Moon Demon is fiercely suppressed by Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi’s old face is excitedly flushed; since being taught a lesson by the Hundred Stars Alliance, he hasn’t fought this joyfully for a long time.

Yet, Cold Moon Demon is no pushover; even as you advance, I recede, Qiu Yi and several masters together can only fight her to a draw.

Cold Moon Demon seems to employ some secret technique, her complexion grows pale, gradually overpowering the present masters.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Earth of Five Elements, Qilin Array rotation!"

The silhouettes of the Four Holy Beasts disperse, transforming into four directions of light.

If the array is inexhaustible, even with her numerous tricks, Cold Moon Demon will eventually be drained to death.

Her expression settles, her aura suddenly erupts, managing to repel Qiu Yi, piercing the array like an arrow breaking through paper, fleeing to the distance.

"I’ve been waiting just for this moment."

Yet, a leisurely voice rings out.

Cold Moon Demon’s expression changes dramatically.

She sees the enormous array behind her shatter violently, all fragments follow her departing aura, forming an arrow.

In an instant, the arrow pierces her shoulder fiercely.

But in that moment, Zhong Heng’s True Essence is depleted, he falls from the sky.

It turns out he is already exhausted internally; Zhong Heng is merely an Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator. Though with the array might wound Late-Stage Golden Core, and with several masters unite, perhaps defeat them—overcome them, but slaying the opponent remains slightly beyond reach.

Sunx Yue swiftly supports Zhong Heng.

"Hahahaha!"

Cold Moon hesitates briefly, then laughs, tears of blood stream from her eyes.

"I didn’t expect I’d, Cold Moon, face this day, being tricked by a newly minted Golden Core junior."

Zhong Heng remains calm, saying, "Your True Essence is nearly seventy percent depleted, your companions are slain, your injuries severe. Should you depart, naturally you will be fine; should you desire to fight again, we will pay the price to bring you down with us."

Cold Moon falls silent for a moment.

Elder Qingfeng steps before the crowd.

Threads of Qingfeng appear, evidently Elder Qingfeng intends to burn True Essence lifespan to fight desperately.

Cold Moon suddenly laughs again.

"Do you know why I am pursued by the Celestial Decree Sect?"

She extracts a talisman and adheres it to herself.

In an instant, her aura restores to its peak.

Celestial Decree Sect’s Secret Technique!

"Today, all of you must die."

Zhong Heng laughs too.

"To survive here, one must have power, also connections."

Cold Moon suddenly hesitates, unbelievably staring; a Bladeless Longsword punctures her abdomen.

"Have you heard? Zhong the Kid is under protection of me."

Instantly, Cold Moon’s Dao Body dissipates—ashes to the wind.

"Why staring? What combat capability does an Array Master have? Surely need external assistance."
