Ancestral Realm cultivators have razor-sharp senses. The moment the grand array appeared, three Ancestral experts materialized above the royal palace—one at the sixth layer, two at the fifth.
As for Leon Lane, the Dogwood King and a seventh-layer Ancestral, he stayed hidden for now. As the monarch, he wouldn't act unless absolutely necessary.
The three Ancestral experts wasted no time—once in midair, they unleashed powerful attacks, hoping to break the formation.
Too bad for them.
They underestimated Ian Song’s grand array. He’d spent years inscribing these formation disks and was confident it could trap even a ninth-layer Ancestral. A sixth-layer plus two fifth-layers trying to break it? Not a chance.
After a brief shockwave...
...the sky returned to calm.
But the three Ancestrals’ faces grew grim.
They each drew their weapons and struck again.
A blade, a sword, a halberd—
—all aimed at the same spot in the array.
Bursts of energy exploded, ripping the nearby void into black holes, but it was useless—the array wall held firm as a mountain.
For a moment, the three looked downright miserable.
Just then—
Figures flashed into view.
Fifty-eight people appeared inside the array.
"Impossible!"
Seeing those fifty-eight, the three Ancestral experts were stunned. Of the group, fifty-seven were Ancestral Realm powerhouses—twenty-two were fifth-layer Ancestrals alone.
The Dogwood Kingdom only had nineteen Ancestral experts total. Now fifty-seven had suddenly shown up—had several God Nations joined forces to attack Dogwood?
Even Leon Lane couldn’t sit still anymore.
