Su Jie frowned deeply, following Han Ruyan once again to the thirty-sixth floor of the high tower.
The massive explosives they had just detonated shone infinite blue light on the small flags atop the four Array Bases, forming a sky-blue Protection Magic Shield that protected the Array Eye from external disturbances and attacks.
The Array Eye itself was completely unscathed, and even Li Yujun within wasn't harmed in the slightest.
Sensing Su Jie's presence once more, Li Yujun sneered, "Thinking you could use that strange apparatus to destroy my Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array is truly naive."
Su Jie released the thousand-hand centipede from his sleeve and called for Han Ruyan.
Understanding Su Jie's intention, Han Ruyan nodded. Her dead-still eyes fixed on the Magic Shield, a lantern appeared in her left hand, and a Dragon Phoenix Mirror in her right, as she harnessed a bizarre power to attack the Magic Shield.
The thousand-hand centipede let out a shriek, as its six pairs of wings stirred up a fierce wind, slamming hard against the Shield.
Su Jie summoned the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder, which rumbled like a Thunder Dragon descending upon the world.
Their combined attacks made the entire blue Magic Shield tremble continuously, wavering unevenly with ripples, but from beginning to end, there was no real sign of fracture.
"What background does this man have to be so fierce with his moves?"
Li Yujun was startled; the Standard of the Shield had been extremely high upon its construction, and now this man alone, aided by a bug and a Fierce Ghost beside him, had the Shield teetering, their mode of attack far too terrifying.
"It's useless; just with you, you'll never break this Magic Shield. Give up on that thought."
Feeling that the Magic Shield was undamaged, Li Yujun's confidence surged once again.
But no sooner had Li Yujun spoken, a cracking sound reached his ears.
On the azure Protection Magic Shield, a tiny, nearly invisible crack had appeared.
It was Su Jie who had taken out the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, an Innate Spiritual Object designed for protection, using it like a brick to smash against the Shield.
Such an attack should not have been able to damage the Shield, but the very foundation of the Shield drew from the Ten Thousand Spirit Bamboo contained within the Array Eye; the Qi of the bamboo was attracted by the innate power of the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus.
In terms of grade, the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus was far superior to the Ten Thousand Spirit Bamboo.
It was like ordinary animals confronting their natural predator; the Ten Thousand Spirit Bamboo, no longer just an ordinary plant, actually bent slightly toward the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus upon its appearance, as if in worship.
This tremor in the Ten Thousand Spirit Bamboo's foundation caused the Magic Shield to loosen and crack.
The thousand-hand centipede was right at the location of the crack, and at the first opportunity, it sent the Purple Light Ray through it, making contact with the Ten Thousand Spirit Bamboo.
Hit by the Purple Light Ray, the Ten Thousand Spirit Bamboo swayed slightly; as a Spirit Plant, it wasn't so easily destroyed.
But the Array Eye of the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array was incredibly intricate; any error could lead to a compromise in its equilibrium.
Once the balance of the Tao River was disrupted, it was like a dike bursting from an ant hole—the aura of the Tao River instantly engulfed everything around it.
Li Yujun, being closest, was directly torn apart, his physical body obliterated within the astral Tao River.
"It's done, the Array is broken."
Su Jie laughed heartily as he stepped back, ready to admire his handiwork and witness the Tao River destroying the Array Eye. Of course, he dared not look directly with his eyes.
But at that moment, as if sensing the presence of the Tao River, the Ancient Realm within Su Jie's sea of consciousness started spinning and, much to his astonishment, flew out from his sea of consciousness.
Astounded, Su Jie watched as the Ancient Realm completely disregarded the onslaught of the Tao River, and under his dumbfounded perception, it plunged into the spatial rift, entering the chaotic space of the Tao River.
