But the battle between Divine Separation and Luo Si was deadlocked, especially with its close tie to the Earth Phase Array, leaving it unable to control the Heavenly Phase Array.
The Great Array outside the sacrificial altar was mostly the Heavenly Phase Array.
Therefore, the Lord of Wangchuan could only personally make a move!
He still thought of taking the opportunity, risking a deep slumber, seizing every second to catch his breath, and accumulate some more battle power. The current situation left him with no options but to exhaust his spirit and control the Heavenly Phase Array.
The silver-gray giant ball was already exposed, but the Returning Ruins Black Ball was not.
He had to hide the black ball as much as possible and, no matter how hard he tried, ensure these two balls never met.
After just a few breaths of trying to control the Heavenly Phase Array, fatigue already showed on the Lord of Wangchuan’s face.
This was too difficult!
Ning Zhuo was causing chaos at the Invisible Hub, making the entire Heavenly Phase Array like an out-of-control carriage. The Lord of Wangchuan had to try his best to balance this carriage.
He felt as weak as a baby.
His spirit was depleting heavily!
At this moment, the Lord of Wangchuan squeezed out his foundation, showing his experience far surpassing Ning Zhuo, managing to temporarily stabilize and hide the black ball.
This was really not easy!
It was like walking on a tightrope at the edge of a cliff during a storm.
Ning Zhuo was completely unaware of this.
He didn’t know he was wrestling in a subtle way with a Prefect, an existence at the Transforming Spirit Level.
How could he know anything about the Returning Ruins Black Ball?
He didn’t even know the background of the silver-gray giant ball before him.
Ning Zhuo stared at the silver-gray giant ball, thoughts racing through his Divine Sea: "The guest star should illuminate the northern Literary Axis... North? Could it mean the North of the Invisible Hub?"
At this moment, the silver-gray giant ball was exactly in the north position of the Invisible Hub.
Ning Zhuo didn’t know if this guess was the standard interpretation of the Omen Poem, but even if he wanted to target the silver-gray giant ball, he was powerless.
The reason was simple.
He was currently at the Invisible Hub, in the eye of the tornado, extremely dangerous surroundings, but relatively stable here.
To approach the silver-gray giant ball, Ning Zhuo would have to cross a battlefield like a hurricane, which was almost like seeking death.
Remote attack?
Ning Zhuo decided to try.
He maintained the Confucian Skill [Scholar Meets Soldiers] while activating the Five Elements Magic.
Fortunately, [Scholar Meets Soldiers] was relatively simple, allowing Ning Zhuo to multitask based on it.
However, his usually proficient Five Elements Magic, even with the Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit God Skill’s blessing and military power support, was destroyed halfway, with no hope of reaching the silver-gray giant ball.
The Lord of Wangchuan saw this and inwardly sneered: "This kid still wants to attack remotely and attempt to break the seal? Hmph, wishful thinking."
After trying a few times, Ning Zhuo stopped immediately.
His mana wasn’t vast, and multitasking, casting spells at the same time, also exhausted his spirit.
This was not the time for reckless attacks; with his Foundation Establishment Cultivation being insufficient, every bit of power needed careful usage.
"What should I do?!"
Ning Zhuo knew he couldn’t act recklessly, wracking his brains for a way to break the situation.
"The guest star should illuminate the northern Literary Axis..."
"The guest star should illuminate the northern Literary Axis..."
"North, North..."
"Illuminate?"
"Illuminate?!"
In that instant, a sudden spirit flashed like lightning, illuminating his Divine Sea and clearing his heart of confusion.
His eyes shot out a brilliant light, his spirit suddenly lifted!
Seeing Ning Zhuo’s change in expression, the Lord of Wangchuan felt another pang of unease, the bad feeling intensified.
"So, the word ’illuminate’ in the poem has a second meaning."
"I understand now!"
Ning Zhuo took out a Mechanical Treasure Mirror.
This was his Lifebound Magical Treasure—the Spirit Communication Mirror!
It was made from Cold Iron, Flowing Cloud Sand, Taibai Gold Essence, Heavenly Crystal, thick soil, and other treasures, and crafted using a Mechanical Platform. Finally, Ning Zhuo engraved his Spirit Communication Mirror Magic Talisman into the Array Heart to refine it.
The Spirit Communication Mirror could project people and objects.
Before, when Sun Lingtong was trapped in the Dragon Qiu Hidden Scale Dojo, Ning Zhuo used both Life Hanging Thread and Spirit Communication Mirror to rescue her.
Projecting Sun Lingtong was somewhat unsuitable, but projecting mechanical artifacts was perfect.
This point was not surprising.
Because the Spirit Communication Mirror, his lifebound magic treasure, originated from the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique, one of the Three Superior Sect Techniques, was already the top-notch Mechanical Technique in the world.
Ning Zhuo continued to use the Confucian Skill [Scholar Meets Soldiers] while holding the Spirit Communication Mirror with one hand.
He aimed the mirror at the silver-gray giant ball, holding back for now.
This simple action alone made the Lord of Wangchuan worried.
Ning Zhuo patiently waited for the right moment, seeing a brief stability in the path, suddenly activated the Spirit Communication Mirror, and shot out a beam of light from the mirror.
The mirror light, like a pillar, despite being attacked midway, still partially hit the silver-gray giant ball.
The next moment, Phantom Shadow Blade: Night Tiger appeared out of nowhere, landed on the silver-gray giant ball.
This was the new Mengye Tiger!
After the Liangzhu Country war, Ning Zhuo realized he needed to replace the materials of Mengye Tiger.
The current Mengye Tiger was even more robust than before, looking like a small mouse beside an elephant’s foot next to the silver-gray giant ball.
Mechanism—Ghostly Slaughter Claw!
A dull, lightless weapon that first sparked, then broke all at once.
Sparks flew first, and then the Ghostly Slaughter Claw was completely broken.
Ning Zhuo’s full-body Magic Treasure level! Who would have thought he could afford such a windfall from the war in Liangzhu Country.
Even so, the effort was fruitless.
"Is that all?" The Lord of Wangchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then immediately calmed down, "Did I just make a fuss over nothing?"
But at that moment, a crack opened on the silver-gray giant ball, emitting a burst of water vapor mixed with a trace of desolate Buddha Light.
This is naturally the result of the seal breaking by the forces applied by the Ghostly Slaughter Claw.
However, under Ning Zhuo’s expectant gaze, the crack on the silver-gray giant ball soon began to heal.
The seal on the Silent Extinction Buddha was inherently strong, with the abundant power from the Xuanming Water Flood Dragon sealing it away.
The Lord of Wangchuan felt slightly relieved.
However, Ning Zhuo noticed this moment, decided to seize the opportunity.
"This moment, the time seems relatively stable, let’s strike!"
With that, he took out his Spirit Communication Mirror.
This is my Lifebound Magical Treasure—Spirit Communication Mirror!
He shouted as he moved with full strength, climbing towards the crack, and spat a fireball directly inside the silver ball.
Centered on the mirror, illuminated by the brilliant lights of the array.
The cracks on the silver-gray giant ball quickly healed themselves under the watchful eyes of Ning Zhuo, who looked on with growing concern.
The seal on the Silent Extinction Buddha illusion, sealed by the Xuanming Water Flood Dragon, was indeed full of power.
The Lord of Wangchuan was slightly relieved.
Ning Zhuo, however, tensed up again.
"This lad dares to try remote attack and break the seal? Hmph, wishful thinking."
He didn’t know what fire seed? was, but he knew that his methods weren’t specific for countering the Xuanming Water Flood Dragon’s seal.
But the truth is nastier than he suspected—Ning Zhuo’s Five Elements Realm was exceptionally profound, which allowed him to create one for this particular situation immediately.
Real wisdom in cultivation is applying power in the most effective way possible.
So Ning Zhuo, not knowing that the Lord of Wangchuan was a Transforming Spirit Level existence, was actually in a very awkward and messy duel with a Prefect supported by the lifespan of Heaven in the Mortal World!
At this moment, the silvery gray giant ball was positioned precisely north of the Invisible Hub.
The Lord of Wangchuan, trying desperately to keep things in check, thought this boy had some wishful delusion that he could attack from a distance and break the seal?
The Omen Poem truly has another layer of meaning within that word ’illuminate.’"
With that realization, Ning Zhuo understood, and he used all his might, scaled to the crack, and spat a fireball directly into the silver ball’s core.
