Su Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh at that moment.
She had thought that making a move would intimidate the people of the Profound Array Sect. Instead, their courage was astonishing. Far from being frightened, they didn’t even take her seriously, calling her a rabble of chickens and pottery dogs.
“Fine. Let me see just what the basis of your confidence is, then.”
Su Xiaoyu was no longer very worried about the Profound Array Sect’s confidence.
She had heard the previous exchange between Jian Songyuan and Ye Danyu. The Profound Array Sect thought she was a Nascent Soul True Monarch?
She didn’t know how they had made such a wrong judgment, but the facts would show them that she, Su Xiaoyu, within this Diorama Box, was far beyond the comparison of any Nascent Soul True Monarch!
Right now, the Zhen Position Sword Array within the Eight Trigrams Sword Array had been activated. Countless giant swords of condensed lightning shot across the sky with astonishing speed. The blazing thunder seemed as if it would physically cleave the firmament in two.
In response, Su Xiaoyu raised a finger and pointed it at the massive, lightning-wreathed sword.
Fingertip Thunder!
This was the spell Su Xiaoyu had used to shoot down the drone in Clear Moon City. In reality, that spell had merely been a flash of lightning to down a drone, but within the Diorama Box, the might it displayed was completely different.
As the spell was cast, a booming rumble of thunder echoed between heaven and earth.
Immediately after, a thick, blazing bolt of thunder shot from Su Xiaoyu’s fingertip, tearing through the diffuse mist in the air with boundless momentum and heading straight for the Zhen Position Sword Array.
“Huh? Using thunder to attack thunder? Don’t lose!”
Seeing this, Ye Danyu immediately shouted.
At this moment, the people of the Profound Array Sect and countless onlookers in the Golden Dragon Market all looked up at the lightning giant sword and the lightning beam closing in on each other in the sky.
Using thunder against thunder, which would prove stronger?
“Boom!”
Under the eager gaze of the masses, the two forces collided directly in the sky, producing a deafening boom. A blinding, piercing white glare of lightning illuminated the world, forcing many to instinctively squint, unable to look directly at the scene.
When everyone opened their eyes again and saw the image in the air, the result caused many to gasp sharply.
Among the Profound Array Sect disciples, in particular, expressions of disbelief appeared. Countless people cried out instinctively: “How is this possible?”
In the distant sky, the result of the collision between the lightning giant sword and the lightning beam was that the beam had forcefully pierced right through the giant sword, causing it to disperse into a sky full of collapsing thunder. The lightning beam itself continued on its way with boundless momentum, finally plunging into the ocean.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!”
The sea surface exploded, massive quantities of water droplets shooting up into the heavens as if trying to wash the sky itself clean. Then, they poured down like a torrential rain, drenching the Profound Array Sect disciples completely.
In that moment, the hearts of the many Profound Array Sect disciples felt ice-cold. It wasn’t the feeling of being drenched by seawater, but the chilling sensation from witnessing the previous scene.
The Zhen Position Sword Array had been shattered so easily. This was something none of them could accept.
When the Eight Trigrams Sword Array had been restored, every Profound Array Sect disciple had taken immense pride in it, believing it would be invincible wherever it went. But now, a deep sense of defeat rose in their hearts.
Ye Danyu’s fingers couldn’t help but tremble.
What exactly was that last attack?
Why was the Zhen Position Sword Array so effortlessly broken?
“I understand. They must have paid a considerable price to execute that strike. They might not have much strength left. In that case, I must strike with full force. I cannot give them any chance to recover.”
Ye Danyu felt he had grasped the situation again.
He shouted loudly to all the Profound Array Sect disciples: “Prepare all sword arrays! The enemy just used their full power strike and is now spent. We will unleash the remaining seven sword arrays at once and directly raze the Golden Dragon Market to the ground!”
Hearing Ye Danyu’s words, the morale of the many disciples was immediately restored.
Although the previous situation had frightened them, they naturally chose to believe Ye Danyu’s explanation.
At that moment, seven giant swords rose into the air simultaneously, carrying overwhelming, majestic might.
The Qian Position Sword Array, a pure silver white, representing the Heavens, slashed across horizontally.
The Kun Position Sword Array, an earthy yellow, conveying a feeling of immense weight, pressed down from high altitude.
The Xun Position Sword Array, seemingly formed of countless cyan winds, howled as it flew forward to cleave.
The Kan Position Sword Array, as if constructed from flowing water, its surface gentle but concealing deadly intent.
The Dui Position Sword Array, corresponding to the Marsh, representing a form of chaos.
Combined with the restored Li Position Sword Array and Gen Position Sword Array, a total of seven giant swords descended majestically.
Faced with such a grand and imposing attack, the many cultivators in the Golden Dragon Market could no longer smile. They watched the scene with some tension.
They knew the Heavenly Maiden was powerful, yes, but the terrifying might displayed by the Eight Trigrams Sword Array was something the vast majority of them had never witnessed. They couldn’t help but feel inwardly shaken.
Golden Dragon’s expression, however, remained calm.
Unlike ordinary cultivators, as a Late Nascent Soul powerhouse, she could be considered highly experienced and wouldn’t be easily moved.
She admitted that the power displayed by the Eight Trigrams Sword Array was extremely fearsome, practically capable of fighting a Soul Formation Divine Lord.
But in her eyes, the Heavenly Maiden was even stronger!
Golden Dragon raised her head.
The vast mist in the sky had already been scattered by the earlier collision of the lightning sword and beam. Now, a gigantic hand was manifesting in the endless sky. Just looking at it created a tremendous sense of pressure.
Golden Dragon knew the Heavenly Maiden was about to make a move.
At this time, Ye Danyu and the others from the Profound Array Sect also saw the huge palm in the sky.
“It must be a hand manifested by a formation.”
Ye Danyu judged.
He hadn’t detected any traces of a formation, but he attributed this to the great distance. If they were a bit closer, he was certain he would be able to see the formation’s traces.
In the vast sky, the colossal hand descended through the clouds, moving to block the path of all the giant swords.
Then, this hand unhurriedly formed a seal. As it moved, violent gusts of wind howled into existence around the giant hand, quickly forming a massive vortex.
It was an incredibly huge wind vortex, nearly the size of the entire Golden Dragon Market. As it took shape in the air, the pressure it exerted on everyone was intensely strong.
“This is… Heaven and Earth Reversal?”
Many people recognized the spell Su Xiaoyu was performing. It was a technique that even an Early Foundation Establishment cultivator could learn.
But the same spell, displayed by different people, could show vastly different levels of power.
Many people in the Golden Dragon Market knew Heaven and Earth Reversal, but seeing the sheer might of Su Xiaoyu’s casting only filled them with profound shock. It represented a terrifying height they could never hope to reach in their entire lives!
