I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"How is it, is that guy dead?" The disciples of the Wind Chasing Division nervously looked at the most turbulent area of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, eyes filled with anticipation.

Only Liou Yuan’s expression was somber, as if he had eaten a dead rat.

Under his Evil Eyes’ gaze, the spiritual power fluctuations belonging to Xu Hetong were still strong in the area bombarded by the array’s power.

It was even stronger than before; clearly, the power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array had not caused much harm.

The light quickly dissipated.

Xu Hetong stood in the array, clad in a suit of white bone armor, with bone spikes weaving across it, each bone glowing with a gleaming white light.

Among those pale armors, the traces of countless Flying Sword slashes were faintly visible.

But not a single attack broke through this armor’s defense, all attacks were blocked.

Moreover, as the spiritual power around Xu Hetong vibrated, the wounds on the white bone parts cut by the slashes rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the hollow eye sockets of Xu Hetong’s skull, dark golden pupils emitted light, like a magical eye overseeing all.

Every glance seemed to burn one’s soul.

His jaw bizarrely cracked open, revealing a row of sharp, serrated fangs, slightly opening and closing with a sound of bone grinding that made teeth ache.

"I, the Nether Bone Profound, temper my body into a diamond form, condensing into an indestructible body! You ants are no more than deadwood covered in frost, barking without reason."

"This is Grade B Foundation Establishment Skill!" Liou Yuan clenched his fist, feeling for the first time the terrifying aspect of the Grade B Foundation Establishment Skill.

The previous attack, any Half-Step Foundation Establishment would have had a tough time handling it.

Yet hitting Xu Hetong was neither painful nor itchy.

The latter relied on the blessing of this Grade B Skill.

At the same time, Liou Yuan felt an even stronger desire to cultivate the Longevity Scripture.

The Blood Sacrifice Nether Bone Body Refining Skill, although also Grade B, certainly falls short of the Grade B Top-grade tier of the Longevity Scripture.

If I were to cultivate the Longevity Scripture, its power would surely be greater than Xu Hetong’s.

Clearly, now is not the time to focus on cultivating the Longevity Scripture; the threat of Xu Hetong is immediate.

Even fully energizing the power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array couldn’t harm Xu Hetong, causing a hint of pressure to rise within the previously composed Liou Yuan.

Yan Yingsi also didn’t expect Xu Hetong to have cultivated the Blood Sacrifice Nether Bone Body Refining Skill to such an extent.

"Liou Yuan, can this formation, comparable to Half-Step Foundation Establishment, not harm him?"

She bit her lip hard, unable to utter another word about slaying Xu Hetong.

They were all cultivators of the same generation, but Xu Hetong’s strength clearly led hers by a landslide.

In contrast, Liou Yuan, who had always avoided battle, suddenly changed his mind, forming a tactic with his hand, once again activating the power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array to bombard Xu Hetong.

"Strutting around in my territory, if once won’t do, I’ll blast you ten times or a hundred times! There will be a time when you can’t resist." Liou Yuan cursed angrily in his heart.

Boom! In the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, golden light surged again, sweeping towards Xu Hetong like golden waves.

Xu Hetong didn’t retreat but advanced, stepping forward in the direction of the incoming golden light, simultaneously reaching out into the Blood Vine Soul-locking Array with a grasp in mid-air.

The curved blade magical artifact used to control the Blood Vine Soul-locking Array was fired from the array, clutched in the bone-covered hand.

The entirely black curved blade emitted black blade light in his hand.

In the array brimming with golden light, the black blade light appeared like ink blooming on white paper.

Where the black trajectory passed, a crack was torn open in the golden ocean of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

After breaking through the power of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, the blade light’s power remained undiminished, striking the barrier of the Earth Mother Prison Array that protected Liou Yuan and the others.

Clunk! Liou Yuan, inside the array, felt a violent sway beneath him.

The barrier of the Earth Mother Prison Array shook violently.

The black blade light caused the surrounding cave space of the Earth Mother Prison Array to crack with fissures.

Though ultimately the black blade light depleted too much energy and failed to cleave open the barrier of the Earth Mother Prison Array.

Due to that strike, the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division stationed in the array spat fresh blood one by one, clearly affected by Xu Hetong’s blow.

"Is this the person you want to kill?" Liou Yuan pointed at the figure in the center of the array, which brought endless pressure to his side, shouting at Yan Yingsi, "Overestimating oneself!"

Yan Yingsi did not retort, lowering her head to pull out the blood-fat jade pendant, still stubborn in her expression, "This Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact can withstand his attacks, we may not be entirely without a chance."

"Damn it!" Liou Yuan was unwilling to argue further with Yan Yingsi, this near-obsessive woman, swearing a curse, eyes shifting from Xu Hetong to the Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact in Yan Yingsi’s hand.

This Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact can indeed block Xu Hetong’s attacks, while Xu Hetong’s magical artifact is at most of Grade B top-grade quality within the Qi Cultivation Realm.

Yet for cultivators of the Qi Cultivation Realm, the consumption of a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact is unendurable, definitely not the best choice in a fierce fight.

Otherwise, with Xu Hetong’s background, wouldn’t he have brandished a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact?

Thus, in Liou Yuan’s view, Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts are at best used for critical moments of survival, more often a burden in battle.

But given the current situation, there’s no room for Liou Yuan to be picky.

It’s a fact that the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array is challenging to harm Xu Hetong.

And if the Earth Mother Prison Array takes a few more hits, it will surely shatter.
