Chapter 1107: Search for the Array Core
Lei Yuce let loose a thunderous roar, and the circular array beneath him began to glow even brighter as numerous radiant, golden swords emerged from the ground, with all of them pointed directly up at the heavens above.
In contrast with the sword projections from before, these were all real flying swords, and there were thirty-six of them, all of which were etched with array patterns that were giving off metal law power fluctuations.
The golden flying swords trembled and buzzed violently, following which countless golden sword threads erupted out of them at Lei Yuce's behest before rising up into the air like a golden waterfall in reverse.
The two giant swords in the sky were already being severely impeded by the torrent of blue water unleashed by Su Anqian, and with further resistance posed by the flurry of golden sword threads, all of the earth law powers within them were finally exhausted.
The pair of swords exploded in unison into a vast expanse of yellow light, and Lei Yuce and Su Anqian exchanged an elated smile upon seeing this.
However, before the two of them had a chance to relax, a burst of dull rumbling rang out from the heavenly gates in the sky.
"Looks like the attacks aren't going to cease until we break the sword array," Lei Yuce mused.
"The array diagram must be somewhere in the array, right? You go and search for it, I can fend for myself just fine," Su Anqian said.
A concerned look appeared on Lei Yuce's face upon hearing this, but before he had a chance to say anything, a Su Anqian put on a stern expression as she asked, "Fellow Daoist Lei, are you looking down on myself or our Heavenly Water Sect?"
"Of course not, it's just that..."
Lei Yuce's voice trailed off here as a wry smile appeared on his face.
Su Anqian's expression eased slightly as she said, "Just go, I'll be fine on my own."
"Alright, in that case, make sure to look after yourself," Lei Yuce reluctantly acquiesced.
"You too, Fellow Daoist Lei," Su Anqian replied, and Lei Yuce was ecstatic to hear her words of concern.
He nodded firmly in response, then began making his way toward the center of the array, and despite the crushing pressure weighing down upon him, his footsteps felt very light and energetic.
The heavenly gates up above were still ajar, and yellow swords continued to fall out of the sky upon the devilish beings and Wyrm 3 and the others.
As a result, much of the pressure on Han Li was alleviated.
With so many people in the array, it had no choice but to split its power to attack everyone, rather than focusing solely on attacking Han Li.
There should've been a change in the density of law powers in the area where the core of sword array was situated, and Han Li had walked in all those different directions in order to detect for changes in the law powers in the environment.
Sure enough, he was able to detect an increasing degree of density of earth law powers in the air in a certain direction to his right, and that was where he presumed the core of the array to be.
With that in mind, he swung his six arms through the air in rapid succession, swatting away the giant swords crashing down upon him from above before turning to walk in that direction.
Even though the general direction had been ascertained, the sword array was so chaotic that it felt like the surrounding orientations were constantly changing, so Han Li was forced to stop every dozen or so steps to reaffirm his sense of direction again.
The footsteps he left behind were becoming deeper and deeper, and finally, an octagonal altar appeared in the distance.
After taking a few steps toward the altar, Han Li was able to see eight yellow stones that contained earth law powers embedded into the sides of the altar.
Furthermore, there was a stone sword protruding out of the ground on each side of the altar, and they stood like eight loyal guardians protecting an octagonal jade plate that was hovering above the center of the altar.
The jade plate wasn't giving off any earth law power fluctuations, but it was flashing with spiritual light, and a series of complex patterns could be seen etched onto its surface.
As soon as Han Li began to approach the altar, a burst of azure light instantly emerged over the jade plate, and the eight stones embedded into the sides of the altar also lit up.
Immediately thereafter, Han Li heard a ringing sound emanating from the eight stone swords on the altar.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he swung his arms vigorously through the air one more time to deflect the falling giant swords, then launched himself at the altar before the next wave of giant swords had a chance to descend upon him.
Thanks to his Reversal True Axis ability, his speed was greatly enhanced, but it was still far slower than normal due to the immense spatial pressure in this place.
Thankfully, there was a safe zone of roughly three hundred feet around the altar that was untouched by the giant swords falling from the sky. Otherwise, the sword array would be destroying its own core.
As Han Li flew toward the altar, a string of loud clangs suddenly rang out as the eight stone swords rose up from the ground before hurtling directly toward him.
These eight stone swords seemed to have been dedicated solely to protecting the array diagram on the altar, and they were far more formidable than the stone swords falling from above.
Bursts of dark yellow light appeared over the flying swords before splitting off into countless sword projections, and in the blink of an eye, there were several thousand flying swords racing toward Han Li at once.
All of these flying swords were giving off bursts of identical earth law power fluctuations, making it impossible to tell which eight of them were real.
Han Li reverted back to his human form upon seeing this, then swept a sleeve through the air to release thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, which fanned out before him, then also released countless sword projections of their own.
