BXBX NOVEL Chapter 561: 358 – Regret_1
Especially since he was well aware that although the Spirit Gathering Array had the support of more than twenty million cultivators, it could only achieve brief glory. Before long, everyone would be devoid of power to infuse, and by then he’d be no match for the city-protecting array.
Facing the formidable strike of the Spirit Gathering Array, the city-protecting array sensed danger. As if the barrier could be destroyed in an instant, the stone lion roared and gathered all its energy, ready to determine winner in a showdown with the Spirit Gathering Array.
All eyes were on the city, no one knowing who would win. But this was a competition of collective power, should they lose, everyone would be without a way out, only left to await death under the destruction and slaughter of the city-protecting array.
Bart Cloud remained calm, even finding it interesting: “It’s quite an eye-opener, witnessing the showdown between two arrays, and ones that possess world-shattering power at that. Even the battle of two Great Saints wouldn’t surpass this destruction, I presume?”
Sandy Wexler, however, was trembling. The appearance of the Spirit Gathering Array gave him a glimmer of hope. However, he had just personally fought the city-protecting array, and he was defeated even after forcibly elevating to the realm of the Sanctuary Powerhouse.
Could Logan’s Spirit Gathering Array succeed? Despite having blocked the initial round and even vaguely demonstrating suppressive force against the city-protecting array, who could be sure it wasn’t just a momentary phenomenon? What would happen if suddenly there’s not enough power to follow up?
Apart from Logan, Sandy Wexler couldn’t rely on anyone else. The lives of tens of millions of people in the city were entrusted to Logan alone. He himself barely survived and was out of combat capabilities. All he could do is pray silently for Logan to win this battle.
The attack Logan had been preparing for was too long. A fireball appeared in the sky above the Spirit Gathering Array, like a raging flame that could burn everything in the world. It carried countless divine skills and laws, the symbolic gathering of the power of tens of millions of people.
The thunder attack of the city-protecting array was vast and boundless, as if it could destroy everything. Its mere formation made countless people tremble. It even kept swallowing laws and Great Laws. This space seemed unable to bear it and was about to explode.
What will happen when this strike lands? Who will have the upper hand? Even the very confident Logan couldn’t help but feel fearful at this point. If he lost, he was sure to be beyond redemption, especially since he and Bart Cloud were just outsiders.
As if facing a formidable enemy, Sandy Wexler kept praying. Although Bart Cloud was nervous in his heart, he had absolute faith in Logan. How could the Spirit Gathering Array which Logan had carefully crafted and enhanced with the power of so many people lose?
“Break!” Jake Wexler roared. The thunder strike was already approaching and hit the fireball in a flash. Suddenly, the fireball expanded a hundred times. Like a balloon, it flew up to Nine Heavens.
At that moment, the fireball, like a meteor, continued to rush upwards. Not only did it swallow the thunder, it also absorbed all the spiritual energy in the air. At this point, it was as if it had lost control, and what was above was the barrier of the city-protecting array.
This was Logan’s objective. He didn’t aim to defeat Jake Wexler or the Array Spirit, rather, he wanted to destroy the entire array in one blow. As long as he could shatter the barrier, no matter how terrifying the city-protecting array was, it would dissipate in an instant.
The Array Spirit sensed this at this moment. An instinctual fear compelled it to use everything to stop the fireball, but it was pointless. The power contained in the fireball was too terrifying and simply unstoppable.
The Array Spirit, the stone lion, tried to control Jake Wexler to block it with his body. But at this moment, Jake Wexler seemed to sober from his madness momentarily. He wasn’t deceived by the heart demon and chose not to ascend to block the fireball.
Under such circumstances, the fireball hit the barrier easily. After a moment of tumult, a gap suddenly appeared. This scene cheered up the tens of millions of people in the city. Was the nightmarish city-protecting array finally coming to an end?
However, the next moment, an inexplicable force suddenly appeared and repaired the barrier. The city-protecting array was once again intact. Logan, who revealed a touch of joy, was stunned. Immediately after, a sense of powerlessness washed over him, he never expected such an outcome.
The tens of millions of people in the city who had infused their power were also the same. They had exhausted all their strength, yet this was the end result? Everyone felt fear and helplessness, it felt like no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t escape death.
Sandy Wexler didn’t understand, then suddenly realized: “Almost forgot about the repair ability of the city-protecting array. It was built with many divine weapons, as long as the gap isn’t too large, it could be repaired, that’s why it remained intact even after thousands of years.”
While Logan’s Spirit Gathering Array was powerful, against the repair ability of the city-protecting array, even the greatest force seemed like it was hitting thin air. Unless they could suppress the healing power of the city-protecting array, or directly suppress the Array Spirit, the stone lion.
Just as everyone was in despair, the fireball suddenly burst open, creating hundreds of gaps in the barrier at once. The blazing flames, as if possessing a burning function, caused these hundreds of gaps to rapidly expand as if being consumed.
