Daoist Competition

The barrier Guo Monarch broke through earlier was just the original prohibition within the Divine House Mountain, so it couldn’t harm him in the slightest. However, at this moment, True Master Tao activated his True Spirit Array Map, and as soon as the Golden Thunder Fire Sea emerged, it instantly engulfed him.

Yet, as he rolled his body, the black evil surged and gathered, wrapping around his entire body, forcibly keeping the thunderfire at bay. He then focused his mind to discern the direction of the two, and soared up, flying in that direction.

Seeing him approach, True Master Tao repeated his earlier technique, bringing Zhang Yan with him, disappearing from the original location.

Guo Monarch, having no choice, had to twist his form and turn to search.

True Master Tao was not in a hurry to confront him, patiently summoning array energy to strike him repeatedly. As soon as he got close, he would move to another place.

After several times, the protective essence evil guarding Guo Monarch’s body was gradually worn down.

Zhang Yan relied on the Array Mirror to observe all of this. If Guo Monarch couldn’t use Dharma technique to cope or was unwilling to reveal his methods, then he would be pleased to continue in this manner.

The array energy came from the Earth Vein Spirit Mechanism, and the entire West Divine House was united, without fear of interruption. Protracted consumption was always advantageous for their side.

However, he didn’t relax but secretly hid the Xuan Flood Dragon Baoyang Halberd in his sleeve, keeping an eye below, ready to strike at any time.

At this point, Guo Monarch was also somewhat anxious. The four Lifebound Primordial Pearls couldn’t sustain endless essence blood, and eventually, his essence evil would be exhausted. By then, what he could rely on would only be his tough shell.

As an Ancient Sky Demon, he had dealt with arrays before, and he did have methods to cope. However, he initially intended to hide deeply, waiting for an opportunity to strike unexpectedly. But now it seemed that if he didn’t find a way to break it, he would never be able to break through the current situation.

He then no longer hesitated, shaking his body, sending four rays of brilliance flying from below his abdomen straight into the ground, followed by streams of Spiritual Energy emerging from beneath the earth, merging into his body. His aura immediately swelled, rushing towards the two’s location.

Yet, after using this Dharma technique, although his essence evil thickened significantly, the four Lifebound Primordial Pearls inside his body were slightly smaller than before, even the brilliance and color appeared somewhat dim.

This anomaly immediately drew the attention of True Master Tao and Zhang Yan.

With a gush of Spiritual Spring, the previously hidden girl suddenly leapt out, urgently saying, "Master, this old demon is seizing spiritual mechanism with Xiu’er."

True Master Tao remained calm, asking steadily, "Can you compete with him?"

The girl wrinkled her little nose, saying, "It’s only a little bit that can be snatched, but the array restriction is disturbed, making it harder to attack the enemy as before."

Zhang Yan decisively said, "When those five lights emitted earlier, my Lifebound Primordial Pearl here also trembled. This demon must be using the power of this pearl!"

True Master Tao replied, "Indeed, without this item, it wouldn’t be possible to disturb the Earth Vein Spirit Mechanism before overpowering the array."

The Lifebound Primordial Pearls were created by Heavenly Demons for cultivation to avoid disasters and resist calamities, superior in escaping trouble compared to Divine Power Secret Techniques, bypassing array mechanisms is not difficult. It was precisely for this reason that the True Masters of the Southern Continent Three Sects previously were helpless against it.

However, Tao and Zhang were not afraid of him displaying his methods, rather they feared him hiding and not revealing. Now that he was forced out, knowing in advance was advantageous.

True Master Tao said, "This Heavenly Demon’s technique is not easily broken, but abundance cannot last forever, we might as well use a strategy of evasion and maneuver."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since this Dharma technique is so formidable, Guo Monarch didn’t use it earlier, then its activation must be extremely limited. Why should we suppress it, let him use it fully and see if he can sustain it."

True Master Tao looked at him and smiled, saying, "Preventing is not as good as letting go? Fellow Daoist has a good strategy, but the Array Diagram is constrained by him, how can we invoke this method again?"

Zhang Yan said, "That’s easy, with the True Master Array Map here, although my Six Reversal Earth Coffin Formation couldn’t fully show its power before, now we might as well bring it out, and with True Master presiding over it, create an Array in Array, let’s see how he copes."

True Master Tao praised, "Wonderful, applying things to their fullest, utilizing talents effectively. This formation is the Human Virtue Formation, without needing Earth Vein Spirit Mechanism, it can surely constrain him."

He raised the Ruyi in his hand with a wave and immediately transported them to a valley, the place where two hundred thousand demon soldiers were hidden.

Zhang Yan climbed the clouds to Heaven, and shouted down, "Lu Changsu, deliver my decree, deploy the Six Return Formation."

As soon as he gave his command, over two hundred thousand demon soldiers below immediately dispersed, standing in their respective formation positions. Then, as the banners swayed, the demon cloud spread, evil Qi surged, and instantly the great array was activated.
