Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Yet, despite throwing everything she had at the grand array before her, none of it had any effect.

"What?"

"How can this be?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuzhe's face immediately paled.

If even Luo Rou couldn't break the Blood Fiend Grand Array before them, were they really doomed to be trapped here?

Mo Tianyun was currently locked in battle with the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable; there was no way he could break away anytime soon.

Fiends were still pouring in like an endless tide. If they just waited, the countless ghastly creatures would eventually drain their Spiritual Power, and they would perish here!

The crowd seemed to notice the troubled look on Luo Rou's face, and a sense of unease rippled through them.

"This…"

"You mean… you can't break the array, miss?"

At these words, Luo Rou blushed, feeling utterly mortified.

She had just been boasting that for Cultivators from the Demon Exorcism Institute like them, breaking this kind of Blood Fiend Grand Array was second nature.

But now, she was completely stumped by the grand array, utterly helpless.

But who had time to worry about her embarrassment? This was a life-or-death situation; they were only worried about losing their own lives!

"Miss, take your time!"

"You're the only ones who can break the grand array. Just focus and try to figure it out. We'll protect you and keep those evil cultivators at bay!"

The crowd chimed in with encouragement.

Luo Rou snapped back to reality. Her gaze hardened with resolve as she nodded. "Alright."

The weight of this responsibility meant she couldn't afford to be complacent.

The lives of all the Cultivators depended on her alone.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I'll be right behind you. I won't let a single one of those ghastly creatures get past me!"

Jiang Yuzhe's usual playful smile vanished, replaced by a look of determination.

A warmth spread through Luo Rou's heart. 'My junior brother is usually so flippant, but he seems to be quite reliable when it counts.'

Just as she was about to resume her attempt to break the array, a figure stepped past her and began to carefully examine the Blood Fiend Grand Array.

"Don't get too close!"

"The Blood Fiend Power on it can dissolve the flesh of any living creature!"

Alarmed, Luo Rou called out a warning instinctively.

However, the person acted as if they hadn't heard her, remaining in place and continuing to study the grand array.

"It's you?"

Only then did Luo Rou realize who it was. Wasn't this the same young man who had displayed his terrifying might on the summit of Kunlun Mountain, single-handedly besting all the other heroes?

Ye Chen stroked his chin, paying no mind to Luo Rou as he silently contemplated a way to break the array.

He had long since noticed how peculiar this Blood Fiend Grand Array was.

It not only contained a powerful, unknown energy, but its structure was also different from that of a typical Array.

An ordinary Array Master would have a very hard time discerning its inner workings.

But Ye Chen was different.

While his mastery of the Way of Arrays might not have reached the absolute zenith, there were very few in the world who could surpass him in this field.

Seeing Ye Chen's complete concentration and how he was ignoring her, Luo Rou couldn't help but feel a flicker of annoyance.

'His talent for cultivation might be terrifyingly good, but does he have to be so arrogant?'

'And when it comes to Arrays, could he possibly know more than someone from the Demon Exorcism Institute?'

"Hey, can't you hear me?" Luo Rou demanded, her expression stern.

The other Cultivators exchanged glances, but neither Ye Chen nor Luo Rou was someone they could afford to offend.

"If you don't want to be trapped here, then stay put and don't bother me."

Ye Chen said coolly.

His tone was completely blunt. Luo Rou could hardly believe her ears. She took a deep breath and said angrily, "You… what's that supposed to mean?"

"What do you mean, 'don't bother you'? You can't possibly think you can break this grand array, can you?"

'Even people from our Demon Exorcism Institute were helpless. Ye Chen is so young, how profound could his mastery of arrays possibly be?'

"If you keep making a scene, don't blame me for getting rough."

Ye Chen glanced at Luo Rou.

His expression was indifferent, and his gaze was not sharp.

But even so, Luo Rou still felt immense pressure.

Her pretty face paled, and she unconsciously took a step back.

Seeing this, Ye Chen turned back around and resumed studying the grand array.

"Senior Sister, are you okay?"

Jiang Yuzhe had been genuinely worried that Ye Chen might actually attack.

After all, with Ye Chen's power, even the two of them together would be no match for him.

"That guy… He's infuriating!!!"

Luo Rou blinked. As she came to her senses, her pretty face flushed crimson with rage.

But remembering Ye Chen's warning, she unconsciously lowered her voice, afraid of disturbing him.

"Senior Sister, maybe he really does have a way to break the array."

"Why don't we just wait and see for a bit."

Jiang Yuzhe sighed helplessly. He could tell Ye Chen bore no ill will toward Luo Rou; he just found her noisy.

"Wait and see what? Junior Brother, you really believe him?"

Luo Rou was displeased that even Jiang Yuzhe was defending Ye Chen. She huffed, "He's just putting on a show. What's so special about that?"

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly reached out his hand, probing towards the churning sea of blood before him.

"You!"

Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe both witnessed this, and the color drained from their faces.

'Does he have a death wish?'

The churning Blood Fiend Power within that sea of blood was potent enough to dissolve any living being below the Divinity Transformation Realm into a stark white skeleton!

But in the next moment, as if sensing Ye Chen's action, the sea of blood before him automatically parted to the sides.

Luo Rou's eyes went wide, her pretty face a mask of utter shock.

She had exhausted herself trying to deal with this Blood Fiend Grand Array, all to no avail.

'How on earth did this young man do that?'

"This guy… he actually did it?"

Jiang Yuzhe's jaw dropped, his mind reeling in shock.

"Are we saved?"

When the other Cultivators noticed this, their faces lit up with joy.

"This kid has really brought us too many surprises."

Huo Qiguang remarked with a sigh.

Huo Wuji chuckled. "Patriarch, a prodigy this outstanding is a rare find. You have to seize this opportunity."

"Shouldn't you have the young miss reel him in for our family?"

Before Huo Qiguang could even respond, Huo Susu, who was standing nearby, protested with a face red as a beet, "Second Elder, what are you saying?"

"Hahaha, I'm just speaking my mind," Huo Wuji laughed loudly.

Now that they were about to escape danger, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, no longer as oppressive as before.

Song Yubing watched the tall, upright figure in the distance, her expression complex.

'There really are far too many secrets surrounding Ye Chen.'

'Anyone would find it easy to fall for him, wouldn't they?'
