Chapter 1172: The Method of Breaking an Array

The thick stone door slowly opened, while the light shone through the seam. Behind the stone door, there was a ruined hall that had apparently experienced a terrible war.

Inside the hall, a vast square with huge pillars of stone stood tall. The earth was covered with deep cracks, and the ground had clearly been reinforced by a spiritual array. Even so, it was now completely destroyed.

In the hall, some bodies were seen flickering with a bright white light. Several of these bodies were skeletons, and even after thousands of years, they still exuded an oppressive aura. Clearly, they had been powerful existences when they were alive.

The whole square was in a tragic state. However, Mu Chen did not care about the tragedy in this dilapidated square, as his eyes were focused at the end of the square. There, on the lotus platform that was carved out of blood jade, a dazzling flower that was as dark as ink sat quietly.

A circle of light bloomed faintly around the flower. The light was extremely dark, as if it could swallow all of the light rays. Within the dark light, many ancient runes emerged, revealing the flower’s extraordinary and divine nature.

Mu Chen stared closely at the devilishly charming flower, as he knew that this flower was Mandela’s original form, the true Ancient Mandala Flower!

“At last, I found it.” Mu Chen gazed at the flower, then lifted his head and exhaled a long breath.

As long as he took Mandela’s original form away, he would no longer have to fear Emperor Xia. However, even though Mandela’s original form was in front of him, he did not approach it recklessly.

Mu Chen surveyed the surroundings, his gaze stopping beneath the eight stone pillars. Under these pillars were eight corpses that looked like ordinary skeletons. However, Mu Chen knew that these eight skeletons were at the center of that spiritual array, which meant that they were the source of its strength!

“This spiritual array is no less powerful than the complete Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array,” Mu Chen murmured.

The spiritual array seemed to have no fluctuations, but once someone broke into it, it was bound to launch a destructive offensive attack. In that case, even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would be in danger!

“No wonder Mandela chose this place to hide! Otherwise, it would have been impossible to stop Lu Heng!” Mu Chen sighed helplessly.

This spiritual array had successfully blocked Lu Heng back then, but it was also blocking him now! It could thus be determined that Mandela and Lu Heng were only Upper Earthly Sovereigns at that time.

Gazing at the spiritual array, which currently enshrouded the square, Mu Chen remained silent for a moment. He then sat down at the edge of the spiritual array, closed his eyes, and began to explore it with his senses.

No matter how strong the spiritual array was, he must crack it. Otherwise, he would have to give up Mandela’s original form, which was right in front of him!

As his eyes closed, his Spiritual Energy Sensor spread out, and gradually, he could detect traces of the vast array clearly. The embryonic form of a spiritual array appeared in his mind.

This spiritual array was so majestic and mysterious, the domineering aura it radiated caused Mu Chen to tingle in fear. It was apparent that this spiritual array was a Middle Grade Ancestral Master Spiritual Array.

Back in the Second Hall, Mu Chen was able to break through the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array because he had obtained the incomplete Diagram Array of the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array. He had been studying hard for a long time, and it was only then that he was able to use some of its flaws to break through the spiritual array and control it.

However, this was an Ancestral Master Spiritual Array that Mu Chen was unfamiliar with. Thus, it was unlikely that he could crack it in such a short time.

Instead of being impatient, however, Mu Chen continued to explore every nuance of the spiritual array. If he wanted to break it, he had to know everything about it! That was the only way that he could find its weakest point.

As Mu Chen sat down and closed his eyes, the dilapidated hall fell once again fell silent. Mu Chen’s meditation took an entire day…

During this day, his body was as still as a rock and surrounded by an aura of spiritual light. There was a constant convergence of spiritual light before him, which seemed to be building a spiritual array model.

However, the model was obviously incomplete at first, so it was constantly crumbling, but Mu Chen just kept rebuilding it. This spiritual array model was clearly modeled after the powerful spiritual array that was now enshrouding the square.

Mu Chen then tried to look for flaws. While he worked, time passed quietly in the silent hall, and another half a day passed.

Buzz.

All of a sudden, the spiritual light in front of Mu Chen bloomed, and as it surged, an extremely complex spiritual array model completely condensed. Although it was only a model, astonishing fluctuations emanated from it.
