Xunuo remained relentless, channeling his power as the Zhenjiang Seal and Azure Light flickered three times before surging upward, howling as it smashed toward the Wooden Umbrella Artifact. During this process, the Zhenjiang Seal did not fall straight down but instead flickered in and out of visibility, making it increasingly difficult for Wang Xichuan to intercept.
Wang Xichuan was greatly alarmed. Two artifacts surged forward to meet the trajectory of the Zhenjiang Seal, while two fire dragons coiled into a lotus shape, their flames shooting skyward in a scorching blaze. However, at that moment, the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts appeared in the void, striking toward the Wooden Umbrella Artifact from six directions simultaneously. Even if Wang Xichuan intended to block them, it was too late. The Wooden Umbrella Artifact was instantly pierced through, its light extinguished.
The Zhenjiang Seal was unceremoniously sent flying back. In the next instant, a storm of ice spikes, Rolling Stones, and Thunder Balls rained down upon the now-defenseless Wooden Umbrella Artifact, shattering it into pieces in an instant. Wang Xichuan stared blankly at the remnants of the Wooden Umbrella Artifact above him, his confidence severely shaken.
Seeing that the Wooden Umbrella Artifact had been destroyed as planned, Xunuo immediately shook the Main Array Flag. The ice spikes and Rolling Stones within the array vanished without a trace, leaving only the Yin Thunder cascading down.
Wang Xichuan anticipated that his opponent aimed to kill him using Thunder Law after breaking his Wooden Umbrella Artifact. He couldn't help but feel a chill at the ruthless schemes of this Array Master.
Wang Xichuan clapped his armored horns together, unleashing two bolts of lightning that exploded the descending Yin Thunderballs. Although he managed to counteract some of them effectively, against the endless barrage of Yin Thunderballs within the array, he could not sustain it for long.
Wang Xichuan clearly understood this point and still had means to counter Thunder Law. However, within this array, where his opponent was an expert Array Master who had already shattered his all-elemental defensive Wooden Umbrella Artifact, maintaining any other single-element defense would be even more challenging. After weighing his options for a moment and letting out a sigh, he decided to take a desperate gamble.
Wang Xichuan pulled out a yellow-brown stone tablet from his storage bag. As he infused it with his power, the tablet became translucent and radiant. He tossed it into the air; this mirror-like stone tablet instantly expanded to ten zhang in size and hovered above Wang Xichuan's head. The rolling Yin Thunder vanished in an instant under its brilliance as if it had disappeared into thin air.
Wang Xichuan showed no signs of joy on his face as he summoned both the Golden Spear and Azure Sword artifacts simultaneously, placing them atop the crystalline stone tablet before sitting cross-legged and forming hand seals while chanting incantations.
At this moment, Xunuo was not afraid of engaging in a battle of spells with his opponent; what he feared most was this spell that Wang Xichuan had attempted to activate multiple times. The Blue-Eyed White-Haired Elder's obsession with this spell only deepened Xunuo's fear of it.
Seeing this situation unfold, Xunuo immediately changed tactics. The Thunder Balls within the array halted while ice spikes and Rolling Stones rained down like a deluge. Wang Xichuan remained unfazed, completely focused on casting his spell. However, the two artifacts outside the stone tablet leaped forth to slice through and deflect the incoming ice spikes and boulders.
Xunuo then pointed with his hand and commanded "Go," causing Six Heavenly Shadow Darts to suddenly appear and strike back at Wang Xichuan's two artifacts, forcing them into retreat. Next, ice spikes and boulders fell unimpeded onto the crystalline stone tablet until it was shattered in moments.
Xunuo transformed again; ice spikes and Rolling Stones morphed into falling Yin Thunder once more. Without the protection of the stone tablet, Wang Xichuan's armor was far less effective against Yin Thunder. In an instant, the roaring flames surrounding his armor dissipated; however, rolling Thunder Balls were still dispersed by two bolts of lightning before they could reach Wang Xichuan. It seemed that he had expended all his power dealing with Yin Thunderballs. The Yin Sha Ice Needles quickly covered Wang Xichuan's armor like countless Yin Sha ice insects wriggling their bodies to burrow inside.
Xunuo anticipated that breaking through Wang Xichuan's armor would be extremely difficult; seeing that Thunder Law could not achieve results immediately either made him sigh softly and murmur: "Well then, let's see who finishes casting first." After finishing his words, he threw out the Zhenjiang Seal and sat cross-legged himself, forming hand seals to cast his spell.
Within the magic circle, the Zhenjiang Seal and Yin Thunderball relentlessly struck at Wang Xichuan. The Yin Thunderball seemed to greatly weaken the power of his armor, while the Zhenjiang Seal merely bounced off without making any impact, proving less effective than the Yin Sha Ice Needle.
The spell Wang Xichuan was invoking originated from the Cultivation Sect that Yama Palace had recently annihilated. During that raid, Yama Palace's primary goal was to seize this spell.
This spell was called Golden Crow True Flame. Wang Xichuan's most formidable Golden Crow Red Flame spell was derived from the Golden Crow True Flame. This spell possessed immense power but came with high requirements. The limitations for cultivating this spell were not only in terms of magical energy and Spiritual Root but primarily required the practitioner to refine a trace of Golden Crow True Flame to achieve control over the spell. Otherwise, merely activating this spell would consume a vast amount of magical energy and time.
However, since Yama Palace acquired this spell, no one had managed to refine even a trace of Golden Crow True Flame. Thus, this spell could only be used as a means of assault and could not be applied in the rapidly changing dynamics of battle.
Nevertheless, the Golden Crow True Flame, a legendary entity, was indeed beyond the reach of these Loose Cultivator factions.
Currently, Wang Xichuan found it exceedingly difficult to wield this spell. His magical energy was barely sufficient, but more importantly, he struggled to maintain a calm mindset. Throughout his journey, his Realm had continuously plummeted, and being trapped here by a junior made it hard for anyone to remain composed. Moreover, the external attacks forced him to multitask, using magical artifacts to intercept some Yin Thunderballs to prevent his magical energy from depleting too quickly.
On Xunuo's side, there were no such concerns; his only worry was whether his spell could inflict significant damage on the Blue-Eyed White-Haired Practitioner or if it would even be effective at all. Xunuo was channeling Sea Collapse, a Divine Sense attack spell.
This spell held tremendous power; as long as it could succeed in disrupting the opponent's Divine Sense at the critical moment, no matter how skilled they were, they would surely be struck down in one blow. It all came down to who could cast their spell faster. Of course, Xunuo had also prepared for the worst—that if his Sea Collapse Spell failed to achieve its purpose, he would swiftly retreat without attempting to counter the opponent's spell.
However, this depended on Xunuo completing his casting first, which was a gamble with his life.
Long-duration spells were particularly susceptible to external disturbances; typically, one would summon a Guardian for protection during such casting. Just like when Xunuo first cast Sea Collapse Spell and summoned Thunderstorm as a Guardian.
In Wang Xichuan's case, attempting to cast Golden Crow True Flame while multitasking proved extraordinarily challenging. Just then, an unexpected change occurred; his unstable Realm collapsed at that critical moment. Although Wang Xichuan had anticipated this outcome, its arrival still caused him to lose focus. As his magical energy faltered momentarily, two magical artifacts dimmed and were forcefully struck down by the Zhenjiang Seal. Wang Xichuan felt a surge of blood rise in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood as his magical energy and Divine Sense plummeted drastically. The impact of his Realm's fall became immediately apparent.
Wang Xichuan's Divine Sense remained far superior to Xunuo's; however, his ability to manipulate and divide his Divine Sense was not nearly as adept as Xunuo's. With his Realm suddenly dropping, Wang Xichuan found himself unable to further divide his Divine Sense to control his artifacts. He had no choice but to retract both artifacts and concentrate solely on casting.
As for Xunuo’s equally seated posture while casting, Wang Xibo felt no concern; he believed that Xunuo was merely putting on an act. As Wang Xibo’s Realm fell, although Xunuo was outside the magic circle, he sensed everything clearly which boosted some confidence in him.
Xunuo’s Sea Collapse Spell this time was much more refined than before; while there wasn't much improvement in speed, he felt highly confident about successfully casting it. Moments later, he reached a crucial point in his incantation. With both hands cradling a lotus above his Mud Pill Palace, smoke swirled around him as a translucent lotus flower appeared above his head.
Xunuo fixed the lotus flower in place and spoke into the depths of the formation, "Merge." In an instant, a Purple Light Halberd emerged from somewhere within the formation, rising majestically.
At that moment, Wang Xichuan seemed to have reached a critical point in his spellcasting. His arms were bent across his chest, palms facing upward as if he were holding something heavy. Above his palms, there was only a flicker of golden flame, dancing slightly as if it would extinguish with the slightest breeze. However, inside his armor, Wang Xichuan's face was flushed like liver, clearly exerting all his strength. The armor no longer emitted lightning to resist; the Yin Thunderball struck down directly, leaving the armor blackened and devoid of any golden light.
Wang Xichuan's fall from the Realm not only affected his magical power but also greatly impacted his mental state. At this point in casting, he was unable to use his Divine Sense for defense, and at this most critical moment, his magical power began to wane. As for Xunuo outside the formation, he had no energy left to pay attention.
Xunuo glanced at Wang Xichuan and said slowly, "You're late." Then, with his hands shaped like a lotus flower, he turned them in one direction. Instantly, a wave of Azure Light spread out from Xunuo without obstruction.
The next moment, a piercing and desperate cry echoed from within the formation. Although Xunuo's Sea of Consciousness was empty and his Divine Sense was greatly hindered, he still managed to pull the corners of his mouth into a satisfied smirk. He then directed the Purple Light Halberd towards the Blue-Eyed White-Haired Practitioner, ready to strike down.
After that glance, Xunuo's expression turned pale. The Sea Collapse Spell had indeed inflicted temporary damage on Wang Xichuan. Though brief, the destruction it caused at such a critical moment in his spellcasting was immense and irreparable.
Just as Xunuo initially triggered the Sea Collapse Spell to its critical point, he found himself unable to unleash it and could only hold up the azure lotus flower without daring to let go. At that time, Xunuo had no idea what would happen if he couldn't cast this spell; now he understood as he watched the scene before him.
In the instant Wang Xichuan lost control, the tiny flame he had been cradling suddenly expanded and leapt into the sky. Immediately after, an earth-shattering force radiated from this rising fireball. As soon as the flame spread out, Xunuo felt even the formation begin to destabilize as if it were about to collapse.
Xunuo grasped with both hands; the Purple Light Halberd first reached in front of. Without a second thought, he stepped onto the Purple Light Halberd and commanded, "Go." The next moment, the Purple Light Halberd appeared at the end of the passage.
At this moment, the Zhenjiang Seal barely emerged from the formation. However, Xunuo did not retract it but instead directly blocked it at the Passage Entrance. Before the Zhenjiang Seal could be properly positioned, a loud bang resonated from within the formation.
