He merely raised his right hand, fingers extended like a sword, and gently slashed towards the energy core that fused the power of the three beast souls ahead.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling brilliant light.
Only a faint, almost imperceptible five-coloured stream of light flashed from his fingertips and vanished.
The next moment,
“Buzz!!”
The entire Three Talents Beast Soul Array shuddered violently. The three roaring beast soul phantoms, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, let out shrill and unwilling wails. Then, like bursting bubbles, they instantly collapsed and dissipated!
The three core disciples serving as the array’s pivots suffered an even greater blow, as though struck by lightning.
They simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces deathly pale as they staggered backwards and fell to the ground. Their eyes fixed on Chen Ping filled with boundless fear and confusion.
The array was broken.
From the moment Chen Ping entered the array, to when he raised his hand, to the collapse of the array, the whole process took no more than three breaths.
Fast!
So fast that it exceeded everyone’s reactions!
So fast that the mockery and doubt still frozen on their faces were utterly shattered by this unbelievable scene before them!
The entire Myriad Beast Altar fell into a silence even deeper than before.
One could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, as if witnessing the most absurd and unbelievable sight in the world.
He… he really broke it?
Just like that… with a casual slash?
Seventh-grade Human Immortal?
Instantly breaking the Three Talents Beast Soul Array?
How was this possible?!
Shi Yan and Ying Wu trembled with excitement, fists clenched tightly, wishing they could shout out loud.
Did you see that? This is Senior’s strength!
On the high platform, the Sect Master Lie Tian abruptly stood up, brilliant light bursting from his eyes. His previous composure vanished, replaced by profound shock.
Elder Xiong Tuo twisted off several strands of his beard without noticing, his plump face filled with horror.
The cold smile on Elder Yu Sha’s face froze completely, like a poorly fitted mask. He pointed at the field, his finger trembling, lips quivering, yet unable to utter a single word.
“No… this is impossible!”
After a long while, Elder Yu Sha finally screeched like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He could not accept this reality. “It must be that the array had been challenged multiple times, its energy greatly depleted, its power reduced, allowing him to take advantage! Yes! It must be so!”
Though far-fetched, this explanation gave some disciples who could not accept reality a way to comfort themselves.
“Yes! Elder Yu Sha is right! The array must have weakened!”
“He got really lucky, coming when the array was at its weakest!”
“If he has the ability, let him challenge a stronger array at full power!”
Chen Ping listened to the clamour around him, his expression still unchanged.
He looked at the somewhat frantic Elder Yu Sha and spoke calmly. “Oh? Is that so? Then what kind of array, in your opinion, would not count as me taking advantage?”
Elder Yu Sha, in the heat of anger and provoked by Chen Ping’s indifferent attitude, roared without thinking. “If you truly have the ability, do you dare to challenge our Myriad Beast Sect’s Myriad Beasts God-Slaying Array?!”
As soon as the words “Myriad Beasts God-Slaying Array” left his mouth, the entire venue was stunned!
Even the Sect Master Lie Tian’s expression changed slightly. He said gravely, “Yu Sha! Watch your words! The Myriad Beasts God-Slaying Array is derived from our sect-protecting grand array. It must not be used lightly!”
Shi Yan and Ying Wu turned deathly pale and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Chen Ping. “Senior, you must not! The Myriad Beasts God-Slaying Array is one of our Myriad Beast Sect’s foundational battle arrays. Though simplified, it still requires at least nine core disciples above fourth-grade Heavenly Immortal to host. Its power is boundless. It is said to have once trapped and killed a sixth-grade Heavenly Immortal expert! It is extremely dangerous!”
The Myriad Beasts God-Slaying Array, as the name implied, possessed power sufficient to slay gods!
Even in its simplified form, it was far beyond comparison with the Three Talents Beast Soul Array.
In everyone’s view, Elder Yu Sha’s proposal of this array was clearly intended either to force Chen Ping to back down in humiliation and lose all face, or… to use the array’s might to severely injure or even kill him!
Everyone believed Chen Ping would never dare accept the challenge.
This had already gone beyond proving strength. It was simply risking his life!
Elder Yu Sha also calmed down somewhat, realising that in his impulsiveness he had said something he should not have.
