Firmament Sword

Even ten thousand ordinary soldiers, when facing the enemy on the battlefield, would emanate an aura that, when combined, would form a terrifying killing intent.

To say nothing of ten thousand powerful Cultivators, any one of whom could dominate an entire region on their own!

The aura rising from their bodies converged, surging into the high heavens and filling the world with a grim, murderous air!

Following the Huo Family Master's command, the ten thousand experts from the Huo Family were like a pack of wolves charging their prey. They roared and bellowed, blasting their attacks toward the single point the Huo Family Master had struck!

VWOOM!

Every single person unleashed their full power, viciously striking that one spot!

The entire world seemed to tremble violently in that instant!

And then...

There was nothing left between heaven and earth but light!

The greatest sound is silence.

Everyone was rendered completely deaf. They could only see a mass of light erupting from the light net, a brilliance so intense it could easily blind a person!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The savage expressions on the faces of countless Huo Family experts were clearly visible.

For a split second, everything in the world seemed to form a dynamic, frozen tapestry!

Even from behind the light net of the Heaven-Netting Array, Xu Luo and the others could still feel that earth-shattering, terrifying energy!

Even a Great Saint... would be utterly incapable of producing such an effect with a full-powered strike!

Then, the world suddenly seemed to spring back to life. A series of deafening booms finally erupted from the spot where the ten thousand Huo Family experts had attacked.

Innumerable Huo Family experts had a crazed battle lust glittering in their eyes. The cruel, bloodthirsty emotions deep in their hearts were completely stirred up in this moment!

The Huo Family Master roared, "Break this array! Bathe the Central Plains in blood!"

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

The light nets on the other three sides vanished in an instant!

All of the Huo Family's experts, over ten thousand strong, let out an earth-shaking cheer.

The Huo Family Master bellowed, "Just for show! Nothing special!"

However, some among them felt that something was wrong. The side of the light net they had attacked... hadn't seemed to break. Instead, as the other three sides vanished, this one... began to glow even more intensely!

Song Chengfeng's brow furrowed, and he said abruptly, "This is bad, run!"

Without taking the time to explain anything to Chu Xiaoya, he grabbed her hand. A terrifying Saint Realm aura erupted from his body as he tore open the void beside him and instantly fled ten thousand miles away.

Although this terrifying Saint's fluctuation caught the attention of the distant group of Huo Family experts, their minds... were no longer on other matters.

The very instant their cruel, bloodthirsty emotions were fully aroused, the light net they were attacking suddenly burst forth with tens of millions of rays of light!

Each ray transformed into a strand of Sword Qi, slashing toward the arrogant, hot-blooded experts of the Huo Family!

The speed of light... how fast was that?

PTHWACK!

An expert at the Peak of Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer from the Huo Family failed to dodge in time. An arm was severed, and he let out a miserable shriek.

But before the sound of his scream could fade, another ray of light shot out. With a PTHWACK, it pierced his forehead. This Great Power Powerhouse at the Peak of Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer was killed on the spot!

SWISH!

A ray of light flashed past, directly slicing off the heads of two Huo Family experts.

As their heads fell to the ground, they even saw the blood gushing from their own headless necks, still wondering in their minds: 'Whose head just got cut off?'

PTHWACK!

PTHWACK!

PTHWACK PTHWACK PTHWACK PTHWACK PTHWACK...

A series of soft sounds rang out in an instant. The Huo Family experts had no time to mount any defense before being struck by the light shooting from the intensely glowing net.

In a flash, severed limbs were everywhere. The acrid stench of blood shot into the sky, dyeing it red!

It all happened too fast. No one could have predicted such an outcome.

The Huo Family Master's right chest was pierced by a ray of light. He could clearly feel his power draining away rapidly and couldn't help but let out a furious roar.

"Who set this array? So treacherous! If you have any guts, fight me fair and square!"

PTHWACK!

Another ray of light shot out, aiming for the Huo Family Master's forehead and cutting his words short.

The Huo Family Master's eyes were practically splitting with rage. He retreated hastily, narrowly avoiding the streak of light.

The other members of the Huo Family were cut down at their peak moment of excitement. The hot-bloodedness and bloodlust inside them instantly turned to ice water.

They desperately dodged the rays of light shooting from the net.

An expert from the Huo Family who had participated in the grand event on the Endless Ocean of the Sect Continent back then instantly recalled that scene.

"Damn it... It must be Beidou's Eighth Star... He trapped and killed countless people just like this on the Endless Ocean back then!"

"Waaah... why did I come along? My arm... both my arms are gone..."

"Xu Luo... If you have the guts, come out and fight us fair and square!"

"So treacherous, so despicable, so shameless!"

The group of Huo Family experts was beaten to the point of tears...

An army of over ten thousand experts had just crossed the Boundary Mountain, and without even seeing a single enemy, more than half of them were already dead or wounded!

A full three thousand or more had been killed outright. Another two to three thousand had completely lost their ability to fight, left with only half a life.

Of the remaining four thousand-plus Huo Family experts, most were terrified and had almost lost their will to fight.

The Huo Family Master roared at the sky, "We still have several thousand men! Those who can still fight, follow me and charge! They're right outside! As long as we break through... we can tear them to shreds! Bathe the Central Plains in blood! Bathe the Central Plains in blood! Bathe the Central Plains in blood!"

The Huo Family Master had gone mad. He repeated "Bathe the Central Plains in blood" three times. His hatred for the Central Plains Star Continent had reached its absolute peak.

Even if they succeeded in bathing the Central Plains Star Continent in blood, the entire Huo Family would be crippled by this battle. They had dispatched nearly all of their experts this time, leaving only a few to guard the clan.

The Huo Family wanted to use this war to firmly establish their status in this world!

After all, no one in this world had yet appeared who could truly kill Beidou's Eighth Star!

If they succeeded, then from now on, who would dare say they were stronger than the Ancient Race's Huo Family?

Ideals are always beautiful, but reality is always full of thorns and hardships. The memory of their bold declarations atop the Boundary Mountain now felt like a series of resounding slaps... striking the faces of every member of the Huo Family.

The Huo Family experts who could still fight had also gone mad. Their eyes were bloodshot as they roared along with the Huo Family Master, "Bathe the Central Plains in blood! Bathe the Central Plains in blood! Bathe the Central Plains in blood!"

"Kill!" The Huo Family Master pulled out a large handful of Elixirs and shoved them directly into his mouth. Then, with a furious roar, he once again... charged toward the light net!

Go around it? Impossible!

The light net had now completely sealed them off. To get past it and kill Xu Luo and the others, they had to break through it!

RUMBLE... RUMBLE RUMBLE...!

Wave after wave of attacks once again struck the light net. This time, they still aimed for the same single point!

On the other side of the light net, Xu Luo and his companions were almost dumbfounded.

Sui Yan also stared blankly at the scene, astonished. "This... No way. They... they still dare to attack the light net?"

Little Fatty's mouth twitched violently as he mumbled, "Don't tell me they think the attack from the light net just now had nothing to do with them?"

"Apparently... that's exactly what they think..." Phoenix shook her head and murmured, "What a bunch of pitiful idiots."

Even though they were enemies, everyone on Xu Luo's side now felt they almost couldn't bear to watch.

It was too bloody, and too cruel!

The Heaven-Netting Array itself possessed no offensive power; it could only serve to entrap.

But the reason it ranked first in the array section of the Mechanical Skill was precisely because of this trait—it reflected attacks!

However strong your attack to break the array, it would reflect an attack of equal power back at you. Moreover, these reflected attacks had a certain tracking ability... Caught off guard, there was definitely no chance to dodge.

This time, of the four thousand-plus people, another two thousand or more fell directly, and over a thousand more lost their ability to fight.

Only then did someone finally realize the truth, crying out, "The light net... it's reflecting our own attacks! The stronger the force we use, the fiercer the attack it reflects... We're... so screwed!"

The Huo Family Master roared at the sky, mad with hatred. He let out a bellow full of unwillingness. "Why? The Central Plains Star Continent... has no more Saints! Why would such a heaven-defying array appear?"

"My Huo Family is so powerful, with such a profound heritage, passed down since the Ancient Era... for countless years! How can it be destroyed in my hands today?"

"I painstakingly prepared for this day for five years! Five years! Five whole years... My entire Huo Family has been working toward this! Why! Why must the heavens treat my Huo Family this way!"

"Xu Luo... do you have the guts to take down this Array and fight me? Otherwise... I cannot accept this... I cannot accept this!"

"Xu Luo! Just you wait! If I ever get the chance to face you, I will take you down with me!"

The Huo Family Master had completely lost his mind. He roared madly as the ground beneath his feet was completely stained red with the blood of his own Huo Family disciples.

Too many of them died unable to rest in peace. They had come to slaughter others... not to be slaughtered themselves!

Reality was so cruel, like a huge joke played on them by the heavens. The Huo Family experts who had wanted to bathe the Central Plains in blood instead ended up nourishing its soil... with their own.

"How much longer can the Heaven-Netting Array hold?" Xu Luo completely ignored the madly roaring Huo Family Master and asked Sui Yan.

"It should be able to hold for about another hour." Sui Yan sighed. "We had too few divine materials. If we had enough, I could make this array last forever and trap these turtle bastards to their deaths!"

"This has already exceeded my expectations." Xu Luo said with admiration, "Worthy of being the strongest array in the array section of the Mechanical Skill. It truly is powerful!"

Xu Ji was a veteran of a hundred battles, but he still found the scene before him incredible. A single array could slaughter so many Great Power Powerhouses. The most unbelievable part was that the Grand Array itself... had no offensive capabilities at all!
