Chapter 2323: Chapter 2323: Comprehending the Array

But, just at this moment.

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from beneath the massive crack.

The terrifying roar shook the surrounding sea, causing waves to surge skyward.

At the same time, the black whip-like object in front of Shi Xuan abruptly gathered, intending to trap Shi Xuan within.

Shi Xuan truly deserved to be a prodigy of the Qingxuan Clan.

He immediately sensed something was amiss.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned the attack, utilized his movement technique, and vanished from his spot.

Though the black whip-like things failed to trap Shi Xuan, they mysteriously merged together, forming a thick, gigantic tentacle.

That terrifying tentacle swept directly towards the place where Shi Xuan had been.

Wherever it passed, even the void seemed to twist and distort.

One can imagine how powerful this attack must be.

Shi Xuan’s expression changed slightly.

He chose not to confront it head-on but continued to evade.

Bam!

This terrifying strike, after Shi Xuan dodged, landed on the ground nearby.

In an instant, it struck out another crack hundreds of meters long.

Seeing this, the corner of Shi Xuan’s eye twitched.

At this moment, he realized that dealing with this demon beast wasn’t so easy.

He already felt a bit regretful.

He shouldn’t have acted so rashly.

And at this moment, that terrifying tentacle came attacking again.

After witnessing the strike just now, Shi Xuan was even less inclined to face it head-on.

He continued to evade.

However, this time, that terrifying tentacle mysteriously disappeared.

Seeing this, even Zhou Yu’s pupils shrank abruptly.

As for Shi Xuan, it was even more so.

His expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed something terrifying.

Shi Xuan suddenly stopped and let out a low roar.

Immediately, a series of Qing Mang appeared on his body.

These Qing Mang swiftly transformed into twisted runes, covering Shi Xuan’s entire body.

And just as Shi Xuan completed this, the mysterious tentacle appeared again, slashing directly above Shi Xuan’s head.

Shi Xuan had no space left to evade.

He let out another furious roar and then punched fiercely towards the tentacle above.

As this punch was delivered, the green runes on his body continued to gather, bursting with tangible Qing Mang, meeting the attack.

Boom!

The two powerful offensives collided instantly.

The entire island was engulfed by the dreadful energy fluctuations.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Liu Ye beside him watched the scene with varying expressions.

A moment later, Liu Ye spoke:

"Daoist Zhou, do you think Daoist Shi can resolve this demon beast alone?"

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"It’s hard to say."

"It depends on how many cards Daoist Shi still has."

Liu Ye said solemnly:

"The task entrusted by Master and the Sixth Elder requires us. Losing one person will bring many variables."

"I suggest we also take action and quickly resolve this demon beast."

"What do you think, Daoist Zhou?"

Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said.

"It’s possible."

"But this demon beast is clearly hiding beneath the island."

"And I primarily cultivate techniques that aren’t Water Attribute Techniques, so below, my strength might not be fully realized."

Liu Ye smiled slightly.

"Then I ask Daoist Zhou to stay above for vigilance and support, while I go down to deal with it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s best."

In the next moment, Liu Ye dived into the crack from the side.

Witnessing this, a strange light flashed across Zhou Yu’s eyes.

This Liu Ye seemed quite eager.

Could it be she discovered some treasure?

Although unsure, Zhou Yu decided not to act.

In this Ancient Realm, dangers are everywhere. Zhou Yu’s fundamental philosophy is to avoid action when possible.

Shortly after Liu Ye descended, an angry roar suddenly erupted from beneath the island.

But the roar didn’t last long before gradually weakening.

After a while, a large patch of black blood gushed from beneath the island.

Soon after, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan emerged from the crack.

Liu Ye appeared mostly unchanged as when she went down, still wearing a faint smile.

However, Shi Xuan was slightly more disheveled, but not hurt.

After ascending, Shi Xuan said to Liu Ye:

"Thank you, Daoist Liu, for your assistance."

Liu Ye smiled slightly.

"No need for thanks, Daoist Shi."

"Even without my help, Daoist Shi could have slain the demon beast."

"I merely added the finishing touch."

Shi Xuan chuckled, his gaze flickering to the inner core Liu Ye had just concealed in her hand, but he said nothing more.

"Alright, the demon beast has been taken care of, let’s get to our main task."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye and Zhou Yu nodded.

The three then found a flat area, where Zhou Yu placed some array flags and temporarily set up a defensive array.

Afterward, they sat within it, contemplating the Array that Elder Cai had given them.

For nearly a month that followed, the array occasionally emitted intense fluctuations.

Yet it quickly calmed down.

About twenty days later, Zhou Yu, Shi Xuan, and Liu Ye suddenly emerged from the Formation.

At this moment, smiles appeared on all their faces.

Liu Ye smiled and said:

"I didn’t expect us to interpret this Array in less than a month."

"This is much faster than I expected."

Shi Xuan, abandoning his prior impatience, said:

"The power of this Array is indeed impressive."

"Once the array is formed, it can evade Five Elements Power, which is simply incredible."

Liu Ye laughed:

"We owe much of it to Daoist Zhou’s Heavenly Demon Body."

"I’ve only heard my master speak of it before; I didn’t expect its marvelous effects to exceed my anticipation."

Zhou Yu chuckled softly:

"Daoist Liu overpraises."

"My Heavenly Demon Body alone isn’t enough to achieve such might."

"The Heavenly Demon Divine Light of you two also earns my admiration."

The so-called Heavenly Demon Divine Light is, in essence, a fundamental application of the Heavenly Demon Body.

Both Liu Ye and Shi Xuan could emit this Heavenly Demon Divine Light.

This indeed surprised Zhou Yu.

But on reflection, it made sense.

It must be the handiwork of Elder Cai and Duan Tian.

With the Heavenly Demon Divine Light, one qualifies to enter the forbidden area.

Liu Ye laughed:

"Daoist Zhou overpraises us. Our Heavenly Demon Divine Light comes from a divine skill, far behind Daoist Zhou’s Heavenly Demon Body."

"Upon entering the forbidden area, we’ll be relying on Daoist Zhou."

Zhou Yu smiled softly.

"No problem."

"Since the Array has been mostly interpreted, let’s set off for the forbidden area!"

"Alright."

Following this, the three soared into the air, transforming into three streams of light, swiftly flying towards the distance...
