Chapter 219

"Oh no, chase after him!"

Seeing Zi Chen being swallowed by the array, the two Zaikos' expressions changed drastically. They turned into streams of light and rushed in.

Ripples appeared like a wall of light. The moment the two Zaikos touched it, they disappeared.

This was an incomplete Origin Formation. Zi Chen stepped in, and a murderous aura filled the air. Ah Mo floated around Zi Chen, his eyes like lightning as he looked around.

"This is the Nine Palaces Array from back then. It's already incomplete. Two on the left, one on the right," Ah Mo looked ahead and said in a deep voice.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

Right at this moment, rays of light lit up one after another, like numerous sharp blades, whistling towards Zi Chen.

"Don't move. You've already triggered the array. This is just an illusion." Ah Mo was very confident.

As the sword beams approached, Zi Chen felt a dangerous aura. Without any hesitation, he activated his Perfect Body. Golden light covered his body, and at the same time, an Ancient Weapon appeared in his hand. It turned into a beam of silver light and swept in all directions.

"Don't move," Ah Mo warned.

Clang! Clang!

Zi Chen attacked repeatedly, his spear trembling constantly. In an instant, hundreds of blades dissipated, but there were still more than ten blades that rushed towards Zi Chen.

Poof. Poof.

More than ten blades shattered one after another, and the golden light around Zi Chen dissipated. At the same time, the last two blades slashed at Zi Chen's body. Under his Perfect Body, two bloody marks appeared.

"How can this be?" Ah Mo was in disbelief when he saw the bloody marks on Zi Chen's body.

"Ten thousand years have passed. The array here has either been destroyed or mutated," Zi Chen said in a deep voice as he looked around.

"Three on the right, six on the left."

Ah Mo looked around again, his eyes flashing. After a moment, he said again.

Zi Chen stepped forward. This time, more than ten blades appeared and were easily dispersed by him.

"Two on the left, five on the right," Ah Mo commanded.

"Ah!"

Zi Chen exclaimed as a bloody mark appeared on his arm.

This was a formation that had undergone a change, and there were many changes that even Ah Mo could not see. Zi Chen was like a half-blind man, and under Ah Mo's lead, he stumbled forward.

"Boom!"

A powerful aura came from behind him, and then Zi Chen heard the sound of an energy explosion.

"Oh no, they're catching up." Zi Chen's face changed.

"It's okay, we're almost out...." After repeated experiments, Ah Mo was more and more confident..

"Three steps forward, one step back, one step to the left, and then continue forward."

Under Zi Chen's feet, a light flashed as he followed Ah Mo's instructions and moved quickly. When he took the last step, he felt his eyes light up and everything became clear again.

"Ah, we're really out." Looking around at the dense forest and smelling the damp air, Zi Chen was very excited.

"Don't be so happy. Let's go. The two of them will be out soon," Ah Mo said.

"They can break the array too." Zi Chen was shocked.

Ah Mo said, "This is a mutated array. Of course, they can't break it. But with two Flight Masters working together, they can definitely break it."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go." Zi Chen's feet flashed as he rushed forward.

"Boom!"

They hadn't walked far when they heard a loud explosion behind them. Horrifying energy scattered in all directions. The array was broken by a great force, and two people appeared in the air.

"Little brat, let's see where you can run to."

After breaking the formation and seeing the fleeing Zi Chen, the two of them continued to pursue him.

Swoosh!

However, in the next moment, the Zi Chen in their eyes disappeared. It was obvious that they had accidentally stepped on another formation.

"Damn it, let's chase."

The two had no choice but to continue.

Under Ah Mo's lead, Zi Chen passed through many arrays. There were many ancient arrays here, and it was easy to step into one if you were not careful. If you were to run in a straight line like Zi Chen, it would be hard not to fall into one.

"Two on the left, one on the right." Ah Mo commanded.

"Boom!"

A burst of flames appeared and exploded in front of Zi Chen. Boundless heat waves instantly drowned Zi Chen.

Moments later, the flames dissipated. Zi Chen's Perfect Body was covered in purple and black patches. Clearly, he had been badly burned.

"Elder Mo, can I do it?" Zi Chen asked pitifully. Quite a bit of his hair had been burned off.

"Almost. This is a fire array. It's extremely powerful. Under normal circumstances, a Perfect Body wouldn't be able to withstand it. The fact that you're still alive only proves that my guidance was correct," Ah Mo said without any embarrassment.

Just as Zi Chen escaped the array, there was the sound of the array shattering behind him. It was once again broken by the two Flight Masters.

Two wretched figures appeared. Their clothes were almost tattered, and there were large areas of burns on their bodies. When one of them appeared, his hair was still on fire, but it was extinguished by an energy.

"Zi Chen, we'll kill you."

"Die, punk."

The two of them were furious. In the array formation, they had clearly suffered quite a number of fire attacks and were in a sorry state.

Unfortunately, the two of them didn't have the chance to fight Zi Chen head-on. In the next moment, Zi Chen's figure vanished.

Moments later, the two appeared in midair. A thin layer of ice crystals appeared on their clothes. Their eyes, eyebrows, and hair were snow-white. Their lips were purple and they were quite cold.

Previously, it was fire, and now, it was ice. The two of them really felt the extreme feeling of ice and fire.

"Zi Chen, we're irreconcilable with you!" The two of them roared indignantly.

Zi Chen was running. Although Ah Mo was an expert, Zi Chen didn't have it easy either. Thankfully, he had a Perfect Body and a mysterious heart. Otherwise, Ah Mo's half-baked means of cracking the array would have long killed Zi Chen.

"Another two to five." Ah Mo was very confident.

"Elder Mo, are you sure?"

Zi Chen felt apprehensive. Every time Ah Mo was so confident, Zi Chen would suffer the most terrifying attack every time he was at his most confident.

"Don't worry. I'm very confident all the way here."

Under Ah Mo's confident expression, Zi Chen took a step forward. Ripples appeared and flickered, but there was no danger.

"How is it? Do you believe me now? I've completely grasped the mutated array formation here." Ah Mo was very confident.

"Huala."

But in the next moment, a flood fell from the sky. Caught off guard, Zi Chen was lifted up. Ah Mo's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed that it was impossible.

"That's impossible. My deduction can't be wrong," Ah Mo widened his eyes and said loudly.

"Pfft."

Zi Chen wiped his face and spat out the water in his mouth. He shivered and said, "Elder Mo, why is it impossible?"

"Eh, you're actually fine. It looks like this step was right." Seeing that Zi Chen was fine and just a little cold, Ah Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's still right."

Zi Chen felt very cold and began to shiver. Even his Perfect Body could not withstand it. It was obvious that the water was not ordinary.

"This is the Frigid Water Formation, and the water that appears in it is extremely frigid. Once activated, even a True Essence Realm warrior would die without a doubt, let alone a mere Connate Realm warrior like you. The fact that you're still alive proves that my deduction is correct. It's just that ten thousand years have passed, and the formation has mutated. There's no way to break it, so it can only turn the frigid water into normal water," Ah Mo explained.

That was indeed the case. When the two of them arrived, the freezing water appeared in the formation. Even though the two of them were flying in the air, they almost lost half of their lives here.

"Zi Chen, I'll kill you."

When the two of them appeared, they became weak and powerless.

When they appeared again, the two no longer had the strength to speak. Breaking the array by force consumed a lot of energy, and the arrays they encountered were getting stronger and stronger. Even though they were flying, their lives were in danger.

Ah Mo's array breaking technique was getting more and more skilled. After breaking three arrays, he was completely out of flying.

"Phew."

Zi Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had gotten rid of the biggest threat.

The arrays here were interconnected, and even demonic beasts rarely came here. Other than that, Zi Chen also saw stalks of spiritual herbs.

If it was in the past, Zi Chen would not have dared to have any ideas about spiritual herbs. But now, with Ah Mo, a half-baked array breaking master, Zi Chen dared to go all out.

"There's a two-thousand-year-old spiritual herb over there. Let's go."

Zi Chen went forward. Ah Mo floated beside him, guiding the way.

"There, there, there's a three-thousand-year-old spiritual herb." Zi Chen pointed at a radiant spiritual herb in the distance.

An hour later, Zi Chen's body was on fire and his hair was smoking. He broke through an array and arrived in front of the spiritual herb.

"This is the Flame Grass. It's three-thousand-year-old," Ah Mo explained.

Other than his attainments in array breaking, Ah Mo also had some understanding of medicinal herbs. Along the way, he explained it to Zi Chen.

Every now and then, Zi Chen would stop and walk. During this period of time, he would refine one spirit herb after another, and his strength would slowly increase.

"This is too terrifying. Refining two-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs every day only increases my strength by a little. Is this the rhythm of going bankrupt?"

Zi Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. Every time his strength increased, his combat strength would also increase. However, the consumption left Zi Chen speechless.

"What do you think? This is a Perfect Body. Even in the Infinity Sect, it's an extremely important existence. It needs the entire sect to nurture it."

"In the early stages, it only consumes some spiritual herbs. But in the later stages, it consumes a lot of primordial stones. Ordinary sects can't afford to nurture it," Ah Mo said.

"Ah, doesn't that mean that if I don't have any resources in the future, it'll be very miserable?" Zi Chen's face was bitter.

"That's right. If you don't get more resources, your cultivation speed will be the speed of a tortoise. Oh, no, it'll be the speed of a snail. So, work hard. Snatch all the resources you can. Don't let any spiritual herbs go."

Ah Mo laughed loudly as Zi Chen's bitter face looked at him.

From then on, Zi Chen seemed to have become a locust. Wherever he passed, not a single blade of grass was left. He had really achieved the goal of plucking feathers from geese.

From hundred-year-old spiritual herbs to thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, Zi Chen swept through almost all of them.

Finally, when he couldn't see any spiritual herbs in sight, Zi Chen completely gave up. However, at this time, he had already reached the periphery of the ruins.

A few days later, Zi Chen left the ruins.

"Ha."

Zi Chen breathed in comfortably. The air that entered his nose was dry and refreshing, and it was not as humid as before.

"I'm finally out." Zi Chen was so excited that he wanted to shout. It was really a narrow escape.

"Zi Chen, so your name is Zi Chen. I've finally waited for you. Now it's time to return my things."

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind Zi Chen.

PS: There will be six updates today. The extra one is for 'Madman Roaming the World'.

In addition to being grateful, I want to say one more thing. Under the situation where I don't have any chapters in stock, five updates a day is really the limit. Not counting the time to write, there's also the time to think. I swear on my previous book that I don't have any chapters in stock, so I can only add one more. Six updates a day is really impossible. Five updates is already the limit.

I read very slowly. I read word by word. It's even more so when I correct the wrong words. However, I can't be sure that there are no mistakes in this book.

I won't complain. I can only say that under normal circumstances, I rest at around twelve and wake up at around six in the morning to write.

It's just five updates, but it's not as simple as fifteen thousand words. It takes a lot of energy. I have to change and write, and I have to think over and over again. If you're a friend of mine who's a Mystic, you should be able to tell that I've improved. In the past, I wrote with my head down. Now, I've learned to think.

I write every day, and I don't dare to have anything happen. If something happens, I'll stop.
