"Mm, this rune is simple. It can be removed with the power of the Law of Lightning!"
"It's the same. The power of the Law of Water can remove it!"
"Oh, this divine rune is interesting. It actually requires three attributes. Otherwise, it will trigger other problems and create more complicated problems in the array. This is definitely a trap! Luckily, I discovered it. Otherwise, I would have wasted more time! "
…
As time passed, the number of runes and divine runes Qin Shaofeng managed to break increased. There were 333 One Star Array Runes in this gigantic Combination Array Formation. The number of One Star Array Runes in this gigantic Combination Array Formation was decreasing.
There was no time acceleration for the third stage of the competition. It was just three days outside the arena.
However, the different levels of the array pagoda had different time flow rates.
For example, the first level had a time acceleration of ten times.
Three days of competition time outside was equivalent to thirty days on the first level of the array pagoda.
Moreover, this was only the first level of the array pagoda. The higher the level, the faster the time flow.
Therefore, the further one progressed, the more time there would be for the competition.
…
With Qin Shaofeng's current speed of breaking the formation, he could only be considered to be relatively fast among the 1,836 choices.
This was because the speed at which Prince Ling and the rest were breaking the arrays was even faster.
What was unbelievable was that when Qin Shaofeng entered the first stage of the array pagoda, he had only broken one-tenth of the array pagoda. However, Prince Ling had already broken the first combination array pagoda.
Then, Prince Ling entered the second combination array pagoda.
Gu Bo, the Demon Prince, the Demon God Crown Prince, the Qilin Young Master, and the other sky-prides followed closely behind.
The sky-prides' speed of breaking arrays was much faster than Gu Bo's.
Besides Prince Ling and the rest, many other sky-prides also quickly broke the first array pagoda.
This didn't mean that Qin Shaofeng was inferior to these sky-prides in terms of breaking arrays.
It was all because of experience!
Qin Shaofeng had seen such a combination array before. Even if he had, he had only seen a combination array made up of ten to twenty arrays.
After all, Qin Shaofeng wasn't born in the Ancient Holy Realm. Naturally, he couldn't be compared to these sky-prides who were born in the Ancient Holy Realm.
However, Qin Shaofeng's speed of breaking arrays would definitely increase gradually after this round of competition.
As a matter of fact, Qin Shaofeng's speed of breaking Spirit Formations became faster and faster as he continued to break Spirit Formations and Divine Inscriptions.
Prince Ling took less than fifteen minutes to break the first combination array pagoda. The other sky-prides were about the same.
Secondly, it took him half an hour or three quarters of an hour to do it.
As for Qin Shaofeng, he spent a full six hours on the first checkpoint's array formation.
This result surprised many people.
However, after this, Qin Shaofeng's speed had a very obvious increase.
In the second array formation, Qin Shaofeng had used four hours to complete the array formation.
When it came to the array formation of the third checkpoint, Qin Shaofeng only had an hour's time.
Qin Shaofeng only took fifteen minutes to break the combination array pagoda for the first ten levels.
Even so, Qin Shaofeng's speed of breaking arrays was much faster than most of the other sky-prides.
The combination array pagoda was far more complicated than the average array pagoda. It was very difficult for most of the 1836 sky-prides.
This was to be expected. The Ten Thousand Formation Emperor had taken out the array pagoda to test the sky-prides. He wanted to test the sky-prides who could enter the third stage of the competition.
But now, more than ninety percent of the sky-prides were taking advantage of the opportunity to pass the second stage of the competition.
Therefore, there weren't many sky-prides who could meet the requirements of the third stage of the competition.
This was also why the Ten Thousand Formation Emperor said that most of the sky-prides would stop at the first or second level in the third stage of the competition.
…
Qin Shaofeng's speed increased as he continued to break the array pagoda.
And when it came to the eleventh checkpoint, Qin Shaofeng was once again surprised by the timing.
The combination array that appeared at the eleventh level was made up of three hundred and sixty one-star arrays.
Although three hundred and sixty was only twenty-seven more than three hundred and thirty-three, three hundred and sixty was the number of cycles.
Therefore, from the eleventh level onwards, the difficulty of breaking the array pagoda increased by several times.
Qin Shaofeng used an hour before he barely managed to pass.
Even though Qin Shaofeng's speed had increased, it would still take him 15 to 30 minutes to pass through a combination array formation.
Furthermore, at the twenty-first checkpoint, the number of One-Star Formations in the Combination Grand Formation had increased once again.
Four hundred One-Star Arrays combined into a grand array!
Facing such an array formation, other than admiration, Qin Shaofeng could not say anything else.
However, at this time, Qin Shaofeng seemed to have gotten used to it. He only used half an hour to break through the twenty-first checkpoint's combination array.
At this time, Qin Shaofeng suddenly realized that as the number of times he broke the array increased, his understanding of array dao improved.
It made sense. All the arrays at the first level were made up of one-star arrays, one-star divine inscriptions, or a large number of array inscriptions.
As the number of arrays he broke increased, Qin Shaofeng's understanding of array inscriptions and one-star divine inscriptions increased.
For example, the way to use array inscriptions.
Under normal circumstances, only a large number of array inscriptions could be used to set up a one-star array.
However, Qin Shaofeng realized that if the array inscriptions were used properly, they could replace some one-star divine inscriptions.
While breaking the combination array, Qin Shaofeng realized that many one-star arrays were made up of array inscriptions.
Even without a one-star divine inscriptions, one could set up a one-star array with pure array inscriptions.
To Qin Shaofeng, this was somewhat inconceivable.
One could set up a one-star array without a one-star divine inscriptions or any other level of star-level divine inscriptions.
This was not something an ordinary person could do.
After all, there was a huge difference between having a star and not having one in the Ancient Holy Realm.
At the very least, Qin Shaofeng could not set up a one-star array with array inscriptions.
However, after breaking so many array formations and witnessing so many One Star Array Formations, Qin Shaofeng had a better understanding of One Star Array Formations.
If Qin Shaofeng were to set up a one-star array with array inscriptions, it would be much more complicated and powerful. However, Qin Shaofeng could already set up some simple and ordinary one-star arrays.
Moreover, Qin Shaofeng felt that if this continued, his understanding of one-star arrays would definitely increase to an unimaginable level after he passed all the levels on the first level and broke all the combination arrays.
At this thought, Qin Shaofeng suddenly felt that the third stage of the array formation competition was not like a competition at all. Instead, it was more like a process to help him cultivate array formations.
Qin Shaofeng felt that this was especially true after he reached the 61st level.
From the 60th level onwards, Qin Shaofeng realized that not only were there 800 one-star arrays, but these 800 arrays were also arrays that were purely inscribed with array inscriptions.
After breaking these combination arrays, Qin Shaofeng realized that he finally had a deeper understanding of how to combine a large number of one-star arrays into a huge one-star combination array formation.
Now, Qin Shaofeng was confident that he could combine 100 one-star arrays into a single one-star array formation.
This made Qin Shaofeng even more convinced that the third stage of the competition was a competition to improve one's array formation skills.
However, Qin Shaofeng did not know that his guess was right.
The Myriad Formation Great Emperor had taken out the array tower to give all the contestants a chance to cultivate array formations.
The arrays he set up in the third stage were all arrays that could deepen one's understanding of array formations.
As long as one paid attention to the divine inscriptions and array inscriptions of the arrays during the process of breaking the arrays, they would definitely gain a lot.
In fact, there was another point that Qin Shaofeng did not realize. Everyone in the array tower was being assisted by an ability of the array tower.
An ability to improve one's array formation skills!
As long as one's array formation comprehension improved while breaking the arrays, the array tower would give them a special buff.
This buff was very subtle and difficult to detect. Furthermore, it could only be used to break arrays.
What was even more special was that this state of blessing would only be bestowed when one's understanding of the Array Dao increased.
However, everyone was focusing on the speed of breaking the arrays. They did not realize that the process of breaking the arrays would bring them any benefits.
Faced with this situation, the owner of the array tower, the Myriad Formation Great Emperor was very dissatisfied.
On the other hand, Qin Shaofeng seemed to know the benefits of breaking arrays. He no longer treated the competition as a simple competition, but as an array formation cultivation competition. He no longer cared about the speed of breaking arrays.
Seeing this, the Myriad Formation Great Emperor finally felt a little satisfied.
Hmm, at least Qin Shaofeng seemed to have realized something. Taking out the array tower was not in vain.
...
Finally, on the ninth day of the first level of the Formation Pagoda, someone managed to break through all the arrays on the first level of the Formation Pagoda.
After breaking through the first level, this contestant entered the second level.
This contestant was Prince Ling.
This was within everyone's expectations. Since the start of the competition, Prince Ling had been in the lead. It was only natural that he would be the first to enter the second level.
Following closely behind Young Master Ling, the second person to enter the second level of the formation pagoda was the Demon Prince of the Ancient Demon Clan.
Next was Gu Bo of the Ancient race.
Next were the Qilin Young Master and the Demon Prince.
By the time Qin Shaofeng entered the second level, there were already sixty to seventy contestants on the second level.
Ever since Qin Shaofeng discovered that breaking arrays could improve one's array formation comprehension, his speed of breaking arrays had decreased compared to before.
However, under this situation, Qin Shaofeng's array formation comprehension had improved.
The division of array formation comprehension was a little vague.
However, under normal circumstances, array formation comprehension was also divided into Array Master, Array Master, and Array Grandmaster.
The Ten Thousand Formation Great Emperor was the one and only Formation Great Emperor who stood at the pinnacle of the Formation Dao in the Ancient Holy Realm.
