As the first cluster of lightning fell, more and more followed closely behind. Every strike would cause mountains to collapse and the ground to crack. For a moment, the entire land had become a scene of desolation.
Most of the cultivators in the Gully Realm looked at the Thunderfire that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. The Earth Star was constantly being damaged. Even if it could withstand the attacks this time, the environment of the entire world would probably be completely changed.
A cultivator standing next to Daoist You couldn't help but say, "Exalted You, the attacks are fierce. Should we …"
Daoist You shook his head and said, "There's no hurry. Let's wait a little longer. Don't be fooled by the other side's momentum. Their strength hasn't reached us yet. When they realize that it's useless, they'll naturally stop. If you interfere, they'll know that you care, and they'll do it even more. "
"But this world …"
That cultivator was very anxious. The Thunderfire wasn't just destructive. After it landed, it continued to burn the entire surface of the earth. The range was getting bigger and bigger, and it was damaging the foundation of this world.
Daoist You said, "This is a price that must be paid. As long as people are still alive and the spiritual essence in this world is still there, it can be restored. If you can't do it, our Tianxia will help you. "
It could be said that he regarded the situation outside as nothing out of the ordinary. When the mighty figures evolved the heaven and earth, all kinds of abominable environments that were not suitable for human survival had appeared. What was this?
As long as this world was preserved, as long as the earth veins still existed, they could set things right.
Even if it affected their cultivation for a short period of time, they could retreat to Tianxia and wait for it to recover. Cultivation wasn't about fighting for a short period of time. Whoever reached the end would be considered the winner. The twists and turns along the way were nothing compared to this.
After the Thunderfire continued to bombard for half a day, the cultivators from the Gully Realm didn't show up. They seemed to know that if this continued, it wouldn't be of much use to the battle, so they stopped.
The people from the Gully Realm heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. However, it wasn't time for them to relax yet. After a while, a light mist dispersed from the flying boat, and a thick rain mist filled the air.
This was to create a favorable environment for Yuan Xia, and it also made use of the smoke caused by the Lightning Fire. As long as it was completed, they would be able to turn the situation into a favorable one for Yuan Xia. This way, this place would become their home ground.
Daoist You looked at this scene and sneered, "Zhang Tingzhi was right. After the lightning and fire comes rain and mist."
This was still Yuan Xia's established approach, but it was the most obvious one. If one of the realms was difficult to deal with, the Daoist cultivators of Yuanxia would send their external bodies over to cast spells to envelop the entire region. They would even draw a portion of the Yuanxia Sequence over to turn the Dao mechanism into an advantage.
Of course, doing this would cause a huge commotion, and the price they had to pay wasn't small either. If they were only dealing with an ordinary world domain, they wouldn't have to do this.
The rain and fog spread extremely quickly, and it didn't take long for it to cover the entire surface of the earth. The sunlight was also blocked out, and the earth was plunged into darkness. Only the great arrays scattered across the land were still emitting light. From the sky, they looked like torches in the dark night.
This situation didn't last for long. Beams of flowing light flickered in the sky, and the Daoist cultivators from Yuan Xia had officially charged into the realm.
However, this time, it wasn't their primordial spirits that came, but their physical bodies that directly entered this realm. They flew towards each of the great arrays, and it looked like each of them had a clear goal.
During the period of time just now, they had already investigated and understood the location of each great array. This time, these people who were scattered didn't move alone, but formed groups of two to take care of each other.
Unless the enemy's cultivation was a level higher than theirs, it was impossible to take them down in an instant. Whenever they encountered danger, someone would come down from the flying ship to receive them.
After reaching their respective targets, they launched all kinds of attacks at the same time without holding back. This attack wasn't to break the array, but to probe the array's situation from various angles.
Daoist You didn't care about the commotion outside, and he still looked very calm. He instructed his subordinates, "Everyone, don't worry and deal with it. Just wait for my arrangements."
When everyone heard his words, they also passed down the message to focus on guarding the array.
After the people from Yuan Xia tested for a while and confirmed the array's path, they each took out their array breaking tools and threw them at the great array. When the tools exploded, the great array in front of them was also broken. The process was very smooth, and it didn't look like a sturdy array at all. Behind this array, there was another great array.
This was very strange. It seemed like the outermost array was just an empty shell, but this array had also suffered the bombardment of thunder and fire. It definitely didn't look like it couldn't withstand it.
In fact, after Daoist You sorted out the earth veins, the array could be strong or weak under his control. However, if the array was broken, the power of the array would also dissipate.
However, he had already weakened the outermost array to the point where it could withstand the other party's probing, but it didn't let them see any flaws. It could be said that a little more would be excessive, and a little less would be weak. It was really just right.
The other side had used all their strength, but they had hit an empty shell made of thin paper. However, they had used their magic tools, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
Even the people from Yuanxia couldn't help but secretly praise when they saw this. "There must be a master of formations here."
This kind of method couldn't be used casually. It just so happened that it had to be adjusted during the probing attack. If it was too rushed, they would definitely notice something. If it was done slowly, they wouldn't be able to do it in time.
It required an accurate prediction of the attacker's every move and strength. The grasp of the situation and timing of the situation could be said to be impeccable.
The leader of Yuan Xia's side was a Daoist with the surname He. He said, "Not only that, this person is very familiar with the artifacts we use. It's only because of this that he doesn't show any weakness."
At this moment, he smiled faintly and said, "Continue to advance. I want to see how many arrays he can break."
They might be amazed by the opponent's exquisite methods, but that was from the perspective of believing that they would win. Therefore, they didn't hesitate to praise the enemy.
However, a confrontation between two forces is not something that can be reversed with one or two tactical victories. No matter what, now that your outer formation has been broken and I've gone in deeper, I've reached my goal. What's the harm in letting you take advantage of me now? I can also withstand this consumption.
Daoist You's actions weren't to show off his tactics, but to boost the confidence of the people below.
Zhang Yu's victory last time was because everyone listened to him unconditionally.
With his identity as an Ancestral Immortal, everyone was obedient to him. However, he was different. This time, he replaced Zhang Yu to preside over the overall situation, which made many people unconvinced. In order to build trust, he had to use a little trick.
This method was indeed effective. Even Yuan Xia's Daoists were amazed by his actions. The Gully Realm's Daoists were even more impressed. Even the junior cultivators who didn't understand at first were enlightened after listening to their seniors' explanation. They couldn't help but feel like they were looking up to a tall mountain, and their confidence in their leader increased.
Daoist You saw that everyone was completely willing to follow his arrangements, and this was enough for him. He had full confidence in the array he set up. As long as he didn't mess it up, no one could enter from the outside.
Although Yuan Xia's array artifacts also took into account the principles of array formations, they walked the path of taking everything. In terms of array formations, he believed that unless Yuan Xia's cultivators specialized in this path, they wouldn't be able to beat him in this path.
If they wanted to break through the array head-on, unless there was a Daoist who pursued the complete path personally, or if they were besieged by more than three Daoist cultivators who had plucked the best path of cultivation, it would be impossible to break through the array he set up with the earth veins and surrounding stars.
Since Yuan Xia wasn't here to test the waters, they brought along a sufficient number of artifacts. Facing the second layer of array formations, they didn't hesitate to take out their array artifacts again. They were prepared to push forward layer by layer and kill their way in. Eventually, they would reach a point where they couldn't retreat anymore.
But soon, Daoist You's ingenious maneuver appeared again. On Yuan Xia's side, they broke through three more array formations in succession. Just as they were about to push forward smoothly, the array mechanism that was destroyed just now actually gradually reassembled behind them.
Moreover, because the array started from the very beginning, the people who went in didn't notice it until the person in charge of monitoring at the top sensed that something was wrong. Only then did they notice the movement.
A cultivator on Yuan Xia's side exclaimed, "How did you do it?"
Daoist You was able to do this because he had mastered the method to unite the earth veins. The uniqueness of his own transcendence energy was compatible with it. Therefore, the entire array couldn't be seen as a single entity, but as a united whole.
The original array was broken, but it was only a temporary opening. There would always be a remnant, and this remnant only needed time. He could channel the power of the earth veins and repair it with his transcendence energy, allowing it to flourish again.
If the intruders continued to go in deeper and ignored it, they would run the risk of being blocked off and trapped in the array.
But the problem was that this array would recover on its own. If they went back and dismantled it, the broken array might recover again. If this continued, wouldn't they have broken it for nothing?
Standing on the flying boat, Daoist He took a look and realized that it wasn't just one place that was like this, but all the people who entered the array on the Earth Continent were in the same situation. Was this because the person in charge of the array had connected to the earth qi?
No, this wasn't enough!
He turned to look in the direction of the void and saw stars twinkling in the sky above the Earth Continent. There was a pattern in their arrangement.
Although he wasn't proficient in array formations, as a cultivator of Yuan Xia, he more or less understood the principles of refining array artifacts. There was the principle of array formations in this, so he could see some clues at this moment.
This was the power of heaven, earth, and Qi meridians, which was why the array's power could be endless. To break this array, they had to first destroy the heavenly stars and sever this connection!
He shouted, "Men, go and shoot down all the heavenly stars in the sky above these continents!"
