Chapter 492 - 491
The Esoteric Master couldn’t help but admire the marvelous design of the God Slaying Array. It used eight lines of Sanskrit as the foundation and then concealed the Array Eye within them. In other words, using text as the Array Eye is something most people would never think of, and what’s more, this Array Eye was a flawed Sanskrit character.
How many people can recognize Sanskrit? How many are proficient in it? How many can pick out the wrong characters among a dense jumble of Sanskrit? And how many can identify the incorrect rough Sanskrit in a life-or-death situation?
Brilliant! Truly brilliant!
However, this Array Eye tripped up at the hands of the Esoteric Master. The old woman was not proficient in Sanskrit; she had only occasionally studied some Sanskrit characters. Her knowledge of Sanskrit, compared to the vast body of Sanskrit scholarship, was minuscule, perhaps even one in a hundred thousand. But at this moment, the clue she held in her hand was indeed the method to break this Array Eye.
The Sanskrit in the northeast corner, when translated, is "Summon a hundred thousand Evil Spirits from Hell." The word "Hell" is the most complex character in these lines of Sanskrit; the final stroke in Sanskrit should be a hook, but in the northeast corner, it was drawn as a straight line without a bend. For an Array, even the slightest instability in the force used during writing is critical. It’s impossible to make such an error. Thus, there’s only one explanation.
This character is the Array Eye of the Array.
"The Array Eye is in the northeast position!"
The Master shouted, and Ye Tian, who was channeling the second wave of his power, glanced over, naturally aiming for that northeast corner.
"Where is it!"
At this moment, the Nightlife grew even darker, whether due to the Yin wind summoned from the Underworld or simply because it was inherently dark today. The Array that previously glowed brightly on the ground had now turned black, concealing its tracks. Searching for that character in the northeast corner now—where could it still be found? But just then, the wind suddenly died down, and the resistance his fingertips felt also disappeared. Losing the counterforce, Ye Tian’s body lunged forward, nearly missing his step, but stabilized his body just in time as the Barrier in the sky disappeared too. Looking up, he could still see the stars twinkling.
"You really are a meddling one, aren’t you!"
