"Alright." Joe Di didn't waste a single word and pressed forward once again.
Everyone remained on high alert, their spiritual sense attached to their magical artifacts. At the slightest disturbance, their artifacts would be summoned for battle.
The distance of several hundred zhang was crossed in just a dozen breaths, and the massive Genesis Annihilation Array appeared before them. Such a terrifying array—if someone came here alone, they would turn and flee without a second thought. Anyone capable of using this fearsome Genesis Annihilation Array to absorb blood essence and soul energy could only be unimaginably powerful.
No wonder every corpse that dies in Savage Beast Gorge vanishes without a trace—it turns out it's all because of the Genesis Annihilation Array here.
Everyone secretly admired Joe Di. Back when Joe Di came to this place alone, he actually managed to leave unharmed.
Joe Di raised his hand and tossed out an Array Banner, which landed inside the Genesis Annihilation Array. Everyone could see clearly that Joe Di's Array Banner was only a level-eight banner, meaning he could at most set up an eighth-level array.
But soon everyone realized—how could Joe Di only know how to set up an eighth-level array? Back at Ascension Plaza, Joe Di had broken Barton May's seventh-level Soul Bind Array with a wave of his hand. Clearly, Joe Di's array mastery should be at the ninth level. Throwing out an eighth-level Array Banner was obviously just a ruse.
"Heh heh... The ants know I can't escape, yet still dare to bring people here..." A shrill, sinister laugh echoed, followed by a gigantic handprint reaching out from within the Genesis Annihilation Array.
Almost at the same moment the massive handprint emerged from the Genesis Annihilation Array, Joe Di hurled another Array Banner and shouted sharply, "Attack!"
No reminder from Joe Di was needed—everyone unleashed their magical artifacts. At this moment, no one dared to hold back.
Just as two Domain Stage cultivators were about to be seized by the massive handprint, Joe Di's Tiansuo Blade suddenly swept up a verdant arc and slashed outward.
"Roar!" The entity within the Genesis Annihilation Array finally sensed something was wrong—Joe Di had blocked its retreat. And seeing Joe Di dare to strike with the Tiansuo Blade, it did not hesitate to withdraw its handprint and lunge straight for Joe Di.
Joe Di stretched out his hand again, unleashing more than six thousand supreme-grade blades. The ninth-level blade formation enveloped the entire space. Against such a formidable foe, there was no room for holding back.
He was different from the others—his spiritual sense was far too powerful. While others were suppressed by the aura of the array's master, Joe Di was barely affected and could still unleash the ninth-level blade formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom! As Joe Di's blade formation collided with the handprint from within the Genesis Annihilation Array, the rest finally felt the pressure ease.
Everyone realized they had wrongly accused Joe Di. No one dared to hesitate now—all magical artifacts were unleashed, bombarding the colossal handprint.
If Joe Di was killed, they would all surely perish here.
With the spatial pressure lifted, magical artifact lights flickered ceaselessly above the Genesis Annihilation Array, and the sound of exploding true essence echoed without end.
Terrifying blades of spiritual sense swept out from the Genesis Annihilation Array. Even though everyone present was at least Domain Stage, under these spiritual sense blades, blood mist filled the air.
No one retreated now. Anyone who had made it this far had survived countless life-and-death trials—those who couldn't withstand such tests had long been weeded out by the ruthless cultivation world.
