Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 432 - 261: Array Realm Trial_2

After all, anyone above fifty steps in the Return to Void realm, even if suppressed, would not be weaker than those at forty-nine steps, but only stronger.

"Junior Brother Li Bai, what is the cultivation of your guardian?"

Senior Brother Yang curiously sized up Li Qian.

Li Qian restrained his cultivation aura, making it impossible for anyone to sense his specific cultivation realm.

"No need for Senior Brother Yang to worry."

The White Fox incarnation said indifferently.

"Haha... I heard there are still quite a few dangers within the Array Realm, I hope Junior Brother Li Bai will be careful. If the guardian’s strength is insufficient, things can easily go wrong."

Senior Brother Yang chuckled lightly.

"The Array Realm Trial tests our array formation skills; does Senior Brother Yang want to win relying on a guardian?"

The White Fox incarnation remarked in surprise.

"Hm, Junior Brother Li Bai, we are merely Array Masters; guardians are indispensable. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a guardian."

Senior Brother Yang snorted coldly.

"Junior Brother Yang, since Junior Brother Li Bai does not appreciate it, why bother speaking so earnestly? Perhaps he might even think you wish him harm, considering everyone knows Junior Brother Yang was originally our Qigu Peak’s most promising candidate to inherit the master’s Dao legacy, but ever since Junior Brother Li Bai arrived, Junior Brother Yang’s brilliance has been completely overshadowed."

A thin man with a monkey-like face, but with bright red hair, chuckled lightly.

This individual ranks second among the true disciples of the Array Master of Xishan, and his true form is a Rat Demon.

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Yang’s face cooled slightly, discerning the subtle provocations in the second brother’s words.

"No need to argue, once we enter the Array Realm, it’s all up to our own abilities."

A burly man spoke up.

This person is the senior disciple of Qigu Peak, whose true form is a Bear Demon. His talent in array formations is quite average, and despite being the senior disciple, he holds no advantage in the contest for the Dao inheritance.

However, this senior disciple holds another identity; that is, he comes from the Golden Bear Demon clan, one of the three major clans of the Golden Demon Court.

They are called the Golden Demon Clan because their Ancestor Demons were once enlightened by a powerful demon immortal.

Thus, the bloodline of these three Golden Demon clans naturally carries the aura of that powerful demon immortal.

Every few generations... among these three Golden Demon clans, a Daozi level demon is always born.

For instance, this generation’s Demon Dragon clan, one of the Golden Demon clans, has produced a Daozi level Demon Dragon.

At this point, several figures descended from the sky, precisely the few Supreme Elders of the Dutian Array Sect.

The Array Master of Xishan was impressively among them.

The opening of the Array Realm requires the cooperation of several Supreme Elders.

Initially engaged in verbal sparring, everyone quickly fell silent and retreated to a side.

The Array Master of Xishan and several Supreme Elders approached the massive Bronze Gate, inputting various array formulas into it, resulting in a violent tremor accompanied by a strong beam of light.

After a while, the gate to the Array Realm opened.

"Whoever can hold out the longest in the Array Realm will be the final victor, but... do not overextend yourselves, as it might cost you your lives."

The Array Master of Xishan solemnly addressed the dozen or so disciples.

"Yes, master."

The White Fox incarnation and others promptly responded and proceeded through the Bronze Gate.

Li Qian also silently followed behind the White Fox.

Currently, his role is that of the White Fox incarnation’s guardian.

Passing through the Teleportation Gate, Li Qian and the White Fox incarnation entered a very peculiar world.

The entire world seemed to be like an enormous chessboard.

Countless gigantic divine statues stood tall.

Each statue emitted strong Array Formation Fluctuations, forming special connections with each other, thereby constructing an immensely vast and complex Array Realm.

"Is this the Array Realm?"

Li Qian murmured to himself.

He could sense that the arrays in this realm couldn’t simply be evaluated by how many bases they had, as the entire realm seemed to be in a very special state of deduction.

That is, if this deduction reaches a certain level, it can enhance the Array Level.

"It seems this Array Realm represents the highest level of arrays in the Dutian Array Sect."

Li Qian murmured to himself.

Looking around, besides Li Qian and the White Fox incarnation, everyone else was gone.

Evidently, due to the partitioning of arrays, they are in different array domains.

Swoosh!

A person and a fox soared into the sky, landing on a nearby statue.

This was the only array base they could access.

Suddenly, Li Qian’s Spiritual Sense stirred, sensing the surrounding statues beginning to transform, some into White Bears, some into Black Goats, and others into Golden Eagles....

He counted, including the statue he was on, there were a total of seventeen.

The Array Master of Xishan’s disciples also numbered seventeen, having entered earlier.

This means the seventeen statues represent seventeen Array Formation disciples.

"So this is Array Chess?"

Li Qian smiled slightly.

This Array Realm Trial is actually a chess match between seventeen Array disciples.

Whoever can last until the end is the winner.

The different deity statues represent the true bodies of the Array disciples.

In other words, from the statues, one can determine their identities.

"I’ll input the spiritual power, you control the deity array."

Li Qian exchanged a glance with the Bai Fox avatar.

Because their primordial spirits are united, they seem like two people, but are actually one.

The reason a guardian is needed in the Array Realm Trial is that the guardian needs to input their spiritual power into the deity statue as the source of power for the deity array, which is then controlled by the Trial Array Master.

Suddenly, the White Bear Divine Statue in front seemed to come alive, suddenly pouncing towards a Leopard Statue on the side.

The two deity statues collided.

After a fierce battle, the Leopard Statue shattered and dissipated like a bubble illusion.

The White Bear Divine Statue seemed to absorb the Leopard Statue’s power, becoming even more imposing.

At the same time, the other statues also began to attack each other in pairs.

Soon, victory and defeat were decided.

Besides the statue where Li Qian was, only eight of the original sixteen statues remained.

Each statue had grown larger, and their aura stronger.

Following that, the eight statues began attacking each other again.

Strangely, these eight statues did not attack the statue where Li Qian was.

Li Qian understood their intentions.

They planned to clear out the weak before dealing with the Bai Fox avatar.

Soon, the battles between the eight statues resulted in only four statues remaining.

A White Bear, a Black Goat, a Golden Eagle, and a Red-haired Rat.

These four statues actually surrounded the White Fox Statue where Li Qian was.

"Are they planning a 1V4?"

Li Qian showed a look of surprise.

As the four statues approached, intense Array Formation Fluctuations swept over.

"Junior Brother Li Bai, sorry to use this method against you, but we have no choice as your threat is too great."

A thought transmission came from the gigantic Black Goat Statue.

Then the Black Goat Statue charged forward fiercely.

The terrifying Array Formation Fluctuation penetrated in, as if to tear apart the Bai Fox Statue.

The Bai Fox avatar waved a hand, controlling the deity statue to construct an array for defense.

These are the rules of the Array Realm: to engage in battle at a certain level using array formations.

These deity statues are akin to chess pieces.

The arrays are used to control these statue chess pieces for attack.

At this moment, Array Formation Skill becomes very important.

Soon, the Bai Fox Statue effortlessly fended off the attack of the Black Goat Statue.

After all, in terms of Array Formation Skill, the Bai Fox avatar was not weaker than Senior Brother Yang...

Yet when the Bai Fox avatar prepared to counterattack, the Black Goat Statue suddenly retreated, followed closely by a charge from the White Bear Statue.

After another collision, the White Bear Statue retreated, and the Golden Eagle Statue attacked.

This repeated... Li Qian started to understand their plan.

Although the array battles between the statues could only be one-on-one, they could use such tactics to exhaust the Bai Fox avatar’s spiritual sense and the guardian’s spiritual power.

After all, activating the statues and controlling the arrays also consumed spiritual sense and power.

"Heh, since you’re intent on attrition, then let’s have a good battle of attrition."

Li Qian sneered.

After all, he had the Chen Bell to recover spiritual sense and a vast reserve of spiritual energy, so he wasn’t afraid of depleting spiritual power.

After a long time, Senior Brother Yang and the others found that under the rotation battle, the White Fox Statue controlled by Junior Brother Li Bai remained remarkably resilient; no matter how they attacked, they couldn’t find a flaw.

In contrast, their spiritual sense and power were heavily depleted.

"It’s time for me to counterattack."

Li Qian keenly sensed that Senior Brother Yang and the others were becoming exhausted.

After all, during this time, he had replenished a lot of spiritual sense and power through the Chen Bell.

He believed that even if Senior Brother Yang and the others had methods to restore themselves, the effects would be quite limited.
