Chapter 576: Chapter 495: Sun-Shining Divine Spear, Mutually Wounded

Outside Volcano State.

A dense, gray fog gathered, closing in.

It was like a towering, circular wall reaching for the clouds, completely encircling Volcano State.

"Hmm..."

Su Ye gazed into the distance, a look of shocked suspicion in his eyes. He stared at the thick gray fog, halting his advance.

This expanse of fog gave him an intense sense of danger. As he looked at it, Su Ye’s heart couldn’t help but beat a little faster.

"My spiritual intuition is warning me..." Su Ye muttered with a frown.

’If I enter this fog, is there a risk of death?’

He pondered for a moment, then decided against trying to break through the formation. He lowered his Escape Light.

An icy silver light flickered in his eyes as he channeled his Divine Sense to observe the gray fog.

’This is...’

Su Ye narrowed his eyes, having discerned a few details, and murmured.

"What a grand move..."

’A Tier Five Array... is it?’

The gray fog surrounding Volcano State was, in essence, a Tier Five Array.

Furthermore, based on Su Ye’s initial analysis, he could confirm that this Tier Five Array possessed an exceptional ability to trap its enemies.

’If I summon the Ghostly Flood Dragon and we combine our power, can we break this Array...’

’Probably not.’

Su Ye estimated in his mind and shook his head.

Even commanding the Ghostly Flood Dragon, he wasn’t confident he could break through this Array.

’Unless...’

Su Ye’s fingers, hidden within his sleeve, gently fiddled with the Human Skin Talisman.

’If I were to activate this Tier Five Void Talisman, could it break the Array and let me escape?’

’Maybe...?’

Su Ye’s expression tensed; he had no certainty.

He had never used this talisman before, so how could he be sure?

Moreover.

Su Ye was no fool.

The mastermind behind the scenes had gone to great trouble and expense to set up this Tier Five Array.

So... how could there not be a follow-up move?

Su Ye reckoned that if he dared to charge the Array by himself, it would be a one-way trip with no return.

Su Ye’s thoughts raced. ’To break this Array, it will take the combined strength of several Nascent Souls... I have to get this information to the Nascent Souls of the Nine Sects from the inner sea!’

Nascent Souls were all intelligent people.

Upon seeing this gray fog, they would naturally understand the gravity of the situation.

Besides.

Su Ye was almost certain.

The mastermind behind this Tier Five Array had to be the remnants of the Demon Palace!

When facing the Demon Palace remnants, the stance of the inner sea’s Nine Sects, and even that of the Dream-wardens, was unanimous.

—Not long ago, Qinghua had viciously backstabbed the Dream-wardens!

If all the Nascent Souls joined forces, it would be enough to break the Array and defeat the Demon Palace remnants!

’With the strength of the Demon Palace remnants, it’s impossible for them to fight against so many Nascent Soul cultivators...’

Su Ye did not doubt this.

After all.

If the Demon Palace remnants had that kind of power, why would they be hiding and scurrying about like a public enemy?

They would have raised their banner long ago, openly challenging and confronting the inner sea’s Nine Sects!

So Su Ye thought.

But then.

His expression changed slightly.

Qinghua couldn’t possibly be unaware of this, yet she went ahead with it anyway.

So, where did her confidence come from?

’Could it be, she’s counting on...’

’The Dream-wardens and the Nine Sects’ Nascent Souls to cripple each other?’

A flash of insight sparked in Su Ye’s mind!

’But...’

’Do the Dream-wardens have that kind of strength?’

’Or... does the Volcano Grotto Heaven have some hidden reserves I don’t know about?’

Su Ye was calculating and pondering to himself.

However, at that very moment.

SHREEE!

A piercing shriek echoed from the sky.

"Huh?"

Startled, Su Ye suddenly looked up.

He saw a fiery meteor, burning with golden flames, shoot out from the gray fog, streak across the sky, and fly into the Volcano Grotto Heaven!

’That’s...’

Su Ye narrowed his eyes, an icy silver color appearing in them as he activated his Pupil Technique.

With the aid of his Pupil Technique, his vision pierced through the golden flames, allowing him to see within the fiery meteor.

It seemed to be...

A divine spear?

...

Volcano Fortress.

The Four-sided Array Formation had been shattered.

The cultivators from the inner sea’s Nine Sects had driven deep into the fortress, fighting their way to a majestic and sacred marble temple in its innermost part.

"Law of Death!"

Yuan Lan waved his hand, and a tide of absolute blackness surged forward.

BOOM!

The Fire Element Monarch, covered in wounds and making a desperate last stand at the temple entrance, collapsed at the sound.

The Fire Element Monarch’s body disintegrated, turning into countless streams of molten lava that flowed away.

In order to protect the Grotto Heaven’s core, the Fire Element Monarch had endured the siege of several Nascent Souls, which had already caused its life force to drop dramatically, bringing it to the execution threshold.

This was the perfect moment for a finishing blow!

"Only one left!"

With the Fire Element Monarch fallen, the only Tier Five being left guarding the Grotto Heaven’s core was Zuo Hongtu!

Yet he had to face six Nascent Souls in peak condition. The difference in their strength was worlds apart!

However.

The Nascent Souls surrounding Zuo Hongtu were very cautious.

"Everyone, be careful."

"Don’t be careless."

Shishanzi’s face was grim as he issued the warning.

The other Nascent Soul True Monarchs also remained vigilant.

Needless to say, the one they were guarding against was the ’Demon Palace remnant’!

From Yuan Lan and the other Golden Core cultivators, these Nascent Soul True Monarchs had already learned of Fuyunzi’s death and the unknown Nascent Soul lurking in the shadows!

"Dammit..."

"That bastard actually assassinated Junior Brother Fuyunzi..."

Shishanzi was furious. He gnashed his teeth at the thought of the Demon Palace remnant hiding in the shadows, wishing he could flay them alive!

But at the same time.

Shishanzi’s heart sank as he looked at Xing Lake, Yuan Lan, and the other cultivators from Star Casting Hall.

With Fuyunzi dead, even with the help of Qixia and Li Jinhua, the number of Nascent Souls on each side was equal. But when facing the cultivators from Star Casting Hall, they were undoubtedly at a disadvantage!

’Besides...’

’The one who assassinated Fuyunzi... was it really... a Demon Palace remnant?’

Shishanzi remained suspicious.

Even though the Golden Core cultivators present could testify.

However.

As a Nascent Soul, it was simply too easy to deceive low-level cultivators.

It was difficult to guarantee that Yuan Lan, who was Fuyunzi’s companion, could be cleared of suspicion in his death.
