Mu Chen broke out into a smile when he heard the roaring sound continue to linger in the rundown square. With the help of the power ripples, he had achieved amazing results as he had anticipated.

The corpse sitting cross-legged under the stone pillar had started to move slightly under the power of the ripples. Although the movement was small, it had given Mu Chen hope that he could destroy the spiritual array.

Mu Chen knew very well that what he had done was just a small trick. If the corpses still had their mind power, his method would not work on them. The power ripples would not have any effect on the corpses if they made an effort to fight against them.

However, it was apparent that Mu Chen was in luck. After thousands of years had passed, the corpses’ power had dwindled. They no longer possessed their mind power, and what was left behind was only enough for them to support the spiritual array. This had helped Mu Chen find the loophole.

Mu Chen was able to achieve this because of the time he had spent studying and practicing setting up the spiritual arrays. After all, one would not be able to do it simply by blasting the spiritual arrays without proper procedures.

Mu Chen had to take note of the areas where the power ripples were unable to penetrate into the spiritual arrays and avoid them, as well as identify the exact spots to blast. If he could put those together, he would be able to transfer the remaining power ripples to the corpses.

Hoof.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, and without any hesitation, he triggered his thoughts to activate the Spirit-Slaughtering Troop. The fighting spirit swirled out and turned into fierce attacks. They blasted hard on the previous spot.

Boom! Boom!

The entire square started to quake vigorously. Violent shockwaves raged out one after another continuously and tore the ground apart, creating large cracks everywhere. However, although the cracks continued to spread out, they were unable to penetrate into the region of the spiritual array. They could only surround it. They moved around outside the spiritual array like a ferocious dragon.

As the shockwaves continued to blast one after another, Mu Chen saw a corpse shaking continuously under a stone pillar to the northwest. It then started to move slowly away from the stone pillar.

The blast continued for one whole hour.

After that, Mu Chen started to breathe heavily. It was a burden to him to activate the Spirit-Slaughtering Troop in such a manner. At this moment, the outer range of the square was already filled with holes and was a mess. Mu Chen fixed his gaze on the corpse that was moving and estimated the distance. He then squinted.

“Just a bit more, and the corpse will not be connected to the stone pillar,” Mu Chen muttered to himself as his body started to tense up. He triggered his thoughts, and the Spirit-Slaughtering Troop let out a cry as a strong fighting spirit swirled out. The fighting spirit was like a huge dragon, and it blasted hard on the ground.

Dong!

The ground quaked, and the corpse shook again and moved forward a little.

Done!

Mu Chen was elated. He looked up and saw that the spiritual array had suddenly started to shake. The even-keeled powerful spiritual energy started to become chaotic, and the flawless spiritual array started to waver. The eighth stone pillar instantly broke down, and cracks started to spread out. The stone pillar showed signs of falling apart after it had lost the corpse’s protection and support.

The spiritual array had depended on the eight stone pillars to act as a device to transmit its power. Now that the eighth stone pillar had lost its support, there was a defect in the flawless spiritual array. Savage spiritual light swirled out continuously from the spiritual array and flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he looked at it. He had sensed that the spiritual array that had put him at his wit’s end was now vulnerable.

Mu Chen waved his sleeve and stowed the Spirit-Slaughtering Troop in his Commander’s Seal. He walked to the border of the spiritual array, and after chanting for a while, he flicked his fingers. Red armor appeared on his body and covered him up. This was the Scarlet Dragon Battle Armor that Mu Chen had obtained from Xia Hong. It had good defensive power and would protect Mu Chen when he went into the spiritual array.

After he was done with all the necessary preparations, Mu Chen took a deep breath. Without any hesitation, he stepped into the range of the spiritual array.
