At this moment, a loud and resounding voice suddenly sounded from deep in the sky.
“N0.1, N0.2, No.3, N0.4, and No.5 Warships and their subordinates, follow the Far Suppression and continue onward. The remaining warships, head to the White Lotus Sect’s subordinate forces.”
The voice rang like a massive bell, drifting in the air and falling into everyone’s ears.
Rumble!
The colossal warship at the forefront continued to sail forward, followed by five other massive warship fleets.
Meanwhile, the smaller fleets began to veer off in other directions.
The warship that Lu Yun was on, being a Treasure-Class Battleship, was also massive in size.
The Demon Suppression Army on it comprised ten thousand people, among them, an Earth-rank Demon Extermination General, Wei Zongcheng. Though his strength was not on par with Zhuang Zijin’s, he was a formidable early – stage Rune Seed Realm cultivator.
There were also the Flying Spirit Martial Academy and South Sun Martial Academy onboard, with three peak Golden Body Realm cultivators.
There were also several thousand independent martial cultivators, including over a dozen Golden Body Realm martial artists.
With such an imposing force at his disposal, the mission had only one goal—to eradicate the Black Mountain Sect.
It was unknown how long it had been.
Suddenly, a small point of light in front of them expanded rapidly, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, an expansive white light appeared in everyone’s sights.
Seeing the heavens and earth enveloped in white mysterious light, Lu Yun couldn’t help but feel something.
Unlike the Martial Academies of the Morigin States and Counties, which had almost no defenses, the mountain gates of the Hundred Sects in the coastal regions were all protected by natural arrays. To enter, outsiders must break the Sect Array.
Of course, arrays created by the foundations of a sect were not easily broken by ordinary people.
The Black Mountain Sect was once a top sect in the region, with Golden Core Realm cultivators and a long and rich inheritance. It had many means at its disposal.
Even now, its Sect Array was still extraordinarily sturdy. How to break it open remained a challenge.
>”Everyone, be prepared. As soon as the array is broken, enter right away and kill all the strong members of the Black Mountain Sect,” Wei Zongcheng said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Suppression Army nodded obediently.
The martial artists from the martial academies and the numerous independent martial cultivators also showed stern expressions and let their auras burst forth.
Seeing this, Wei Zongcheng didn’t waste any more words and stepped off the warship into the sky.
He then stretched out his right hand and a black awl the size of a fist appeared in his palm.
In the next moment, the black awl detached itself from Wei Zongcheng’s hand, radiating a deep black light before rapidly enlarging.
Buzz!
As the awl expanded, a rumbling noise sounded from the void surrounding it. The initially calm void instantly stirred up waves, which grew larger and larger as if the space was about to be pierced through by some force.
Instantly, Lu Yun felt his mind trembling.
“So strong!”
His eyes were filled with shock.
Just one glance at the black awl caused his Sea of Consciousness to produce intense fluctuations. This showed just how terrifying the black awl was.
However…
Could this black awl break through the Black Mountain Sect’s sect protection array?
As Lu Yun was doubtful, a familiar voice came from beside him.
“This is the Array Breaking Awl!”
Array Breaking Awl?
Lu Yun turned his head and saw Lei Canghe, who had somehow made his way beside him.
Seeing his confusion, Lei Canghe’s gaze fell on the Array Breaking Awl, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
“The Array Breaking Awl, along with the warships and other artifacts, are part of the inheritance left by the First Generation Primordial Emperor. More than eight hundred years ago, during the expulsion of the Hundred Sects, the Array Breaking Awl was used to destroy one sect gate after another. Its fame skyrocketed, and the Hundred Sects fled in terror.
Unfortunately, after centuries of scarce warfare between Morigin and the Hundred Sects, the Array Breaking Awl was no longer used, and its formidable reputation began to fade away.”
As he spoke, his solemn expression gradually gave way to nostalgia and ease.
“Rumor has it that each Array Breaking Awl is at least a Superior Treasure, possessing terrifying power. When fully stimulated, it can deliver a fullstrength blow comparable to a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
As such, the Black Mountain Sect’s sect protection array should be easily broken!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun was even more shocked.
Although he didn’t know the exact power of a full-strength blow from a Golden Core Realm cultivator, he could vaguely guess that it would be a worldshattering force.
And that seemingly unremarkable black awl, or rather, the Array Breaking Awl, possessed such power.
Moreover…
According to Lei Canghe’s words just now, there were not only one Array Breaking Awl, and the weakest of them could unleash the power of a fullstrength blow from a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
What about higher-grade Array Breaking Awls? Could they possess even greater power, on par with Heavenly Human Realm cultivators?
Lu Yun shook his head internally. He couldn’t imagine how the Hundred Sects could compete with Morigin if they truly possessed such terrifying Array Breaking Awls.
Under Wei Zongcheng’s control, the Array Breaking Awl enlarged to several tens of meters in size and, with an incredibly powerful penetrating force, descended towards the sect protection array covering the Black Mountain Sect.
The heaven and earth trembled violently, countless mysterious lights burst forth, and the sect protection array seemed to have received some kind of strong stimulus.
At the same time…
In the palace hall of the Black Mountain Sect, the Sect Master, who was deep in thought about how to aid the White Lotus Sect, suddenly opened his closed eyes.
The palace trembled, the mountain shook, and the space quivered.
Simultaneously, a neighing sound echoed throughout the hall.
At this moment, every strong cultivator in the hall felt a slight change in their expressions.
“What is going on…?”
“It must be a sea beast attacking the sect protection array.”
As a sect near the ocean, the Black Mountain Sect was often attacked by sea beasts. The sect had endured at least one or two sea beast attacks every year and had long become accustomed to such incidents, taking them in stride.
