Chapter 369: Three Years Later
“No, this is true. There really aren’t any Spirit Stones in that array formation. My soldiers have all seen it, so they can guarantee it,” Deputy Commander Liu explained helplessly.
“Yes, my lords. We’ve all seen it, but there really aren’t any Spirit Stones. It’s very strange.”
The soldiers at the back hurriedly spoke up for Deputy Commander Liu and described the scene they had seen.
However…
The one-armed old man and the others were unwilling to believe it. They had studied array formations for many years, and many Array Formation Masters were very confident in their own array formations.
From their knowledge, they had never heard of array formations not using Spirit Stones, so they still refused to believe it. They felt that Deputy Commander Liu was talking nonsense.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Commander Zhou was still willing to believe Deputy Commander Liu. Although he also felt that it was somewhat inconceivable that array formations did not use Spirit Stones, he decided to wait until he saw the situation at the scene before making a decision.
After making the decision, the group continued to set off, heading toward the ninth passage in a grandiose manner.
Along the way, they also discovered that the ninth passage was different. They discovered that there were many more corpses of contaminated creatures here, and many of them seemed to have been killed by the array formation.
When they arrived in front of the Dark Array Formation, they saw that the array formation was rapidly operating and emitting a tyrannical aura. All of them revealed shocked expressions as they looked at the Dark Array Formation in disbelief.
“It… It really doesn’t need Spirit Stones. How is this possible? How did this happen? Isn’t this too unbelievable?” someone said in astonishment.
“Wait, this is the Abyssal Black Gas. This array is actually absorbing the Abyssal Black Gas. It actually used the power of the Abyssal Black Gas to form the array formation!” The one-armed old man said in astonishment.
“It’s actually real. This is truly a genius idea. Quick, look at these Formation Patterns. The structure is too detailed. It’s like a beehive, interlocking with each other,” said a fat Array Formation Master.
“What a powerful array formation technique. These Formation Patterns have a very special structure. Strange, what kind of loop is this? What are the functions of these Formation Patterns? I actually can’t understand it.” Old Man Bai frowned.
“Can’t understand it? Master Bai, even you can’t understand it? You’re an Array Formation Grand Master!” An Array Formation Master said in surprise.
“Indeed, I can’t understand it. This array formation is too exquisite. I feel that if I participate in the array formation, I can at most set up some side arrays. I can’t understand the core array formation at all.”
Old Man Bai frowned as he stared at the Dark Array Formation. He realized that the array formation was too profound. Even he, an Array Formation Grand Master, could not understand it.
The surrounding people also looked carefully. The more they looked, the more shocked they became. It was as if they had discovered a new continent. Their eyes were burning as they stared at the dark array formation and studied it.
“Did you guys notice it? The change in the energy absorption of the array formation has allowed me to see the hope of humanity!” The one-armed old man suddenly said.
“Yes, I agree with this point. The array formation has solved the energy problem that we have been unable to solve for a long time. It has even solved the Abyssal Black Gas problem…”
“This is truly an unconstrained idea. who was the one who set up the array formation?” the one-armed old man said solemnly.
“Could it be Li Xuan? Our Abyss Fortress has existed for many years. The problems that exist have never been solved. However, Li Xuan has changed in an instant. Other than him, I can’t think of anyone else,” the one-armed old man said again.
“But he’s still a child. Although I also think it’s him, this is too shocking.” Old Man Bai could not believe it. He wanted to see it with his own eyes first.
“Let’s go to the depths of the array formation and see who set up such an amazing array formation,” Old Man Bai suggested.
“Okay, let’s go.”
…
The group set off again in an imposing manner. They passed through one Dark Array Formation after another. After spending a lot of time, they finally saw the person they wanted to see.
That was Li Xuan’s small figure in front of the array formation, setting up the array bit by bit, commanding the group to set up the array formation at the corners, controlling the overall situation.
Beside Li Xuan, the Gold Rank general was silently protecting him. Her originally pale face had become rosy, and her lifeless vitality had become extraordinarily lively.
Such a scene, such a scene, finally made everyone believe everything, believing in Li Xuan’s talent.
At this moment, everyone saw Li Xuan as hope. They swore in their hearts that they would protect Li Xuan and preserve this hope.
At that moment, of course, they would protect Li Xuan and reward him with all sorts of treasures when he returned to the Abyss Fortress.
Just like that…
Under the protection of the people, Li Xuan left the ninth passage and returned to the Abyss Fortress, becoming the one to get first priority protection.
The Gold Rank female general guarded Li Xuan every day, which made Li Xuan very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Li Xuan’s goal was to make a contribution and obtain the Elemental Origin, so he did not refuse to be protected.
Therefore, in the following time, his performance was quite excellent, and his age was also controlled to grow slowly.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
In the Abyss Passage, a mighty army was guarding the various passageways, using the formation to crazily fight against the Abyss creatures.
At this moment, all the passages were set up with Dark Array Formations. There were only 5,000 meters left from the bottom of the abyss. It could be said that the passages that allowed the Abyssal Creatures to invade the human world had been completely sealed.
This also led to the great explosion of the Abyssal Creatures. In the past three years, they had launched hundreds of frenzied attacks.
Even the large Beast Tide had appeared more than 30 times, and there had even been five super-large Beast Tides.
In these three years, there were not many casualties among humans, even fewer than in the past fifty years.
The ones who suffered the most casualties were the people protecting Li Xuan because there were too many assassinations.
In these three years, all sorts of assassinations against Li Xuan appeared. There were all sorts of attacks, and it was hard to guard against them.
There were even those who attempted to assassinate Li Xuan when he was asleep.
Under the protection of many people and Li Xuan’s hidden strength, all the dangers were safely passed through.
At this moment, Li Xuan was sitting on the grand marshal’s throne, quietly looking at the first passage of the Abyss. His sharp eyes swept past the Dark Array Formation and those Abyssal Creatures that roared and charged.
At this moment, Li Xuan had already grown to the age of 15.
His long black hair was tied behind his back, and his white clothes made his handsome appearance more and more perfect. He was like an immortal that was attracting the attention of others.
The strength that he displayed had reached the High-Level Silver Rank. It could be said that he had improved to this level in three years. It could be said that he was quite abnormal and terrifying.
Most of the disciples at that time were still at the Black Iron Rank and Bronze Rank. However, Li Xuan had already reached the upper Silver Rank, so the difference in strength was huge.
Fortunately, his master was at Gold Rank. With the supply of many resources and his extremely powerful talent, it was possible for him to reach this speed, so it did not cause much of a stir.
The only thing that almost caused a stir was the meeting with the Saint Rank ancestor a few days ago. Li Xuan was still very worried about experts at this level.
In order to prevent the Saint Rank ancestor from noticing anything, Li Xuan found an opportunity to return to the Summoned Beasts World and frantically harvest all sorts of skills.
He committed suicide over a thousand times and obtained over a thousand skills. Finally, he met a very good skill.
That was the Soul Transformation.
