Chapter 276: Acquisition of the Dou Zun-Level Array
Seeing that even Venerable Huangquan couldn't break the protective array with his combat techniques, the faces of the major factions changed slightly.
It seems this protective array indeed holds some mystery. Some powerful Dou Zuns began to think about how to break this defense array.
Xiao Ze carefully observed the changes in the array when the two Dou Zuns attacked the door, closing his eyes slightly as he recalled relevant details.
Due to the extensive range of categories in the "Demonic Bloody Manual of the Demon," he often reviewed this manual and had some studies on arrays.
This array was clearly not weak in its defensive capacity. If he could understand it, using it in the Elders' Tower or places where important objects were kept would be enough for peace of mind.
Venerable Huangquan, seeing that the array had neutralized his combat technique, couldn't accept defeat and began to condense his combat technique again.
"I can't believe an ancient array can still stop me."
This time, Venerable Huangquan was completely covered in black energy. His already pale face darkened like ink under the light of this energy, almost matching the color of the puppet.
Seeing that Venerable Huangquan wasn't giving up, Xiao Ze focused again, determined to use this opportunity to fully understand the protective array.
Venerable Huangquan condensed an extremely powerful combat technique and forcefully launched it at the grand hall. This time, he chose to attack another spot.
Xiao Ze noticed that the spot chosen by Venerable Huangquan was quite ingenious, right at the points where the seals were already damaged.
However, this dark blue grand hall clearly had two layers of defense: the first was a spatial seal, and the second was the protective array.
The spatial seal was already very damaged, but the protective array was still functioning.
Moreover, the protective array blocked the entrance but allowed the energy inside the dark blue hall to escape.
Clearly, this time Venerable Huangquan had used real techniques. Compared to the previous two times, this time the protective array showed a higher frequency of rune flickering.
Xiao Ze, with his keen soul perception, noticed a rune flickering unusually.
With his knowledge of arrays, it seemed that this rune was the key connecting the other runes.
In the vast sea of runes, finding such a rune was extremely difficult.
Thanks to his soul perception and knowledge of arrays, Xiao Ze was able to notice the anomaly in that rune.
However, even though the rune showed an anomaly, it didn't seem to show signs of collapsing.
As expected, Venerable Huangquan's attack was unsuccessful once again.
Xiao Ze touched his chin, thoughtful.
The Great Elder, noticing Xiao Ze's expression, asked, "Xiao Ze, have you discovered something?"
"A bit, but I'm not sure. After all, I only have basic knowledge about arrays," Xiao Ze replied cautiously.
The Great Elder patted Xiao Ze's shoulder, smiling, "If you have an idea, go ahead. Don't worry, I'll back you up. Besides, in this situation, it can't get worse."
Xiao Ze nodded and approached the dark blue hall under everyone's gaze. Venerable Huangquan glanced at him sideways.
"Xiao Ze, I think it's better to leave this to the Great Elder. Don't embarrass yourself."
Due to his repeated failures, Venerable Huangquan's tone was full of sarcasm, almost pointing at Xiao Ze and telling him not to interfere.
Xiao Ze smiled slightly, "Please, Venerable Huangquan, step aside."
Venerable Huangquan's face darkened, but after his repeated failures, he had no face to stay.
Venerable Huangquan stepped aside.
Xiao Ze approached the dark blue hall, extending his soul perception. This hall was extremely large, and the protective runes engraved on it were like a vast ocean.
If you weren't a true master of arrays, finding the core of the array in a short time and breaking it would be impossible.
Relying on his powerful soul strength, Xiao Ze perceived the changes in the array without restrictions.
The present people, seeing Xiao Ze simply standing in front of the door without doing anything, began to feel confused.
However, Xiao Ze's powerful demonstration of strength earlier made no one dare to say anything, and they could only wait in silence.
Some Dou Zuns with keen perception noticed the changes in Xiao Ze's soul strength.
Huang Xuan even laughed coldly, "He's pretending. He's already an alchemy master; how could he have time to study arrays?"
The white-haired man nodded, although his talent was among the best of the young generation of the Tian Yao Huang tribe.
But he had devoted much of his energy to cultivation. Someone only has a limited amount of energy.
The fact that Xiao Ze was an alchemy master and had impressive combat strength was already incredible to him.
Other respected figures had varied opinions: some doubted, others hoped, and others lamented.
The leader of the Jiuyou clan, She Ming, looked at Xiao Ze with a somber gaze.
He didn't know why, but he never liked Xiao Ze.
Although the Jiuyou (Nine Nether Serpents) clan was one of the three great magical beast tribes, it wasn't wise to make enemies with Dan Ta without reason.
But the presence of Xiao Ze made She Ming unable to have a good disposition towards Dan Ta. That's why he had never interacted with the Great Elder of Dan Ta.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Ze finally found the anomalous rune.
The rune constantly changed position, which took him some time to find it.
However, when he contacted the rune with his soul strength, he was surprised to realize that he could refine it!
At that moment, Xiao Ze thought of refining it and allowing only the Great Elder and himself to enter the hall.
But, after thinking it over, he abandoned that tempting idea.
Although the major factions were blocked outside, that was only because the real strong ones hadn't intervened yet.
People like Huang Xuan, a five-star Dou Zun, and the leader of the Jiuyou (Nine Nether Serpents) clan were extremely powerful.
If they united, they could break this protective array.
Such behavior would easily provoke an attack on Dan Ta by everyone.
Moreover, if he could really refine this array and take it with him, he would obtain an extremely powerful protective array.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ze left a mark of his soul on that rune.
Venerable Huangquan, impatient, said, "Xiao Ze, if you can't do it, better let the Great Elder try."
Just as Venerable Huangquan finished speaking, Xiao Ze extended his right palm and a rune floated gently towards his palm.
With the rune in his hand, a chain reaction was triggered: all the runes covering the grand hall rushed towards it like swallows returning to their nest.
The countless colored runes flowed towards a single rune, creating a scene that left everyone gaping.
Such a scene was something they had never seen before.
