I Can Extract Divine Power

On the empty street, there was nothing but a circular disk.

A light breeze carried the unique, decaying scent of the Mysterious City, making one want to cover their nose.

The living kept their distance, for this was a paradise for the strange.

Red Makeup had worn a sorrowful expression, believing she had no hope of escape. But Shen Bai’s words stunned her.

"That’s right. This place is covered in Seals. Your father was ruthless when he was alive."

Those words pulled Red Makeup from her state of sorrow.

Disbelief filled Red Makeup’s face. "Master," she said, "did you mean you can understand the Array on that thing?"

She wasn’t entirely certain, but Shen Bai’s mention of Seals filled her with hope.

Red Makeup couldn’t stop herself from grabbing Shen Bai’s sleeve, her hand trembling slightly.

Nearby, Yao Long answered the question in Shen Bai’s stead.

"In the Jianghu, Lord Shen is known as the Eight Extremes Young Master. His skill with Arrays is also considered unmatched."

His skill with Arrays was also considered unmatched.

Those words alone left Red Makeup rooted to the spot.

’What kind of master did I find? How can he be this terrifying? His power is simply frightening.’

She just couldn’t comprehend it.

Even with the famed Hundred Truths Technique, the most one could hope for was to be invincible among peers of the same level. Achieving the so-called Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward was nearly impossible.

Yet Shen Bai had done it.

And now, she was being told he also had mastery over Arrays.

It was simply ridiculous.

Shen Bai paid no mind to Red Makeup’s expression. He walked over to the circular disk and began to examine it from top to bottom.

The intricate patterns on the disk before him formed an incredibly terrifying Array.

Each component of the Array was a powerful Seal.

Anyone else would have been completely unable to get inside, as the Seal had to be broken from the outside.

Breaking the Seal would take a very long time, and even then, the subsequent Seals possessed a Regeneration ability, allowing them to form endlessly.

With a Level 5 Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique, Shen Bai would have found it very difficult to break this Seal.

However, once his Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique reached Level 6, it gained the Seal Attribute. As a result, the Array before him no longer seemed like a difficult task.

If he could create Seals, then breaking them was a simple matter.

After a careful inspection, Shen Bai quickly formed a plan.

’I first have to disable the regenerative Seal Arrays before I can break the others.’

To unravel the Array, he needed to start at the source, which was, of course, the regenerative array.

Once the regenerative array was gone and the Seal lost its ability to regenerate, the rest would just be a matter of time.

With this in mind, Shen Bai drew Cold Moon and plunged it into the ground. Using the blade as a conduit, he channeled his Qi through it and into the circular disk.

The Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique possessed the Heaven and Earth Attribute, allowing him to set up an Array by borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, thus negating the need for complex material components.

The next moment, a terrifying, circular Array materialized beneath Shen Bai’s feet.

The Array expanded, covering everything as far as the eye could see.

"This Array... It’s terrifying! And he’s creating it out of thin air!"

Red Makeup covered her mouth with a pale hand, her expression one of utter shock.

From their perspective, they could see waves of brilliant light radiating from beneath Shen Bai’s feet.

And Shen Bai himself stood as the most terrifying presence within that Array.

As long as Shen Bai was present, the Array was but a servant at his feet.

"Since I need to break an Array, I’ll use an Array to do it," Shen Bai stated calmly, then began to circulate the Qi in his body.

As Shen Bai circulated his Qi, the Array at his feet began to invade the disk-shaped Array at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The disk-shaped Array, upon being invaded, immediately reacted, attempting to resist with all its might.

But compared to Shen Bai’s Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique, the disk Array was laughably weak, unable to withstand the assault.

In a mere moment, the disk Array was crushed as if by a stampeding army, shattering into countless pieces.

From discovering the Array, to casting his own, to finally breaking it.

The entire process took Shen Bai a mere ten breaths.

"What a brilliant Array. It took even me this long to break it," Shen Bai remarked, looking as if he hadn’t had enough.

Everyone: "..."

If there had been a table nearby, someone might have been tempted to flip it.

This was too much!

Just listen to what he was saying!

What did he mean, "a brilliant Array"? When other people broke a brilliant Array, it took ages and a mountain of materials.

But for you, it only took ten breaths.

And you still acted like it was so difficult!

Ten breaths? What’s so hard about that?

Everyone suddenly felt their confidence being crushed again and again.

It almost made them want to just walk away.

Red Makeup could no longer maintain the air of a classical beauty. She silently turned her head and asked, "Is your Lord always like this?"

Yao Long replied numbly, "You get used to it."

"Oh."

Red Makeup nodded stiffly.

’Come on,’ she thought. ’How could anyone get used to this?’

Hearing their chatter, Shen Bai said, "All right, that’s enough discussion. It’s time to go inside and have a look."

With the Array broken, a crack appeared on the surface of the disk.

Waves of a sinister, cold, and decaying aura seeped out from the disk, making one’s hair stand on end.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes. After sensing the aura for a moment, he used Cold Moon to pry the disk open.

The moment the disk was pried open, it shot high into the air before crashing to the ground with a deafening ROAR, shattering into a pile of rubble.

Before them, a staircase appeared, leading straight down into the earth.

The staircase was incredibly dark, but the surrounding walls were embedded with Luminous Pearls. They flickered with a soft glow, bright enough to illuminate the path ahead.

"Everyone, stay on your guard," Shen Bai ordered.

The others drew their Weapons and nodded in acknowledgment.
