Chapter 838: Chapter 806: Luminant Ruins

Lady Mi, with her face veiled in a white bridal scarf, stepped forward and softly smiled, “The Summoning Card was initiated by yours truly, and I’m sure everyone can guess its purpose.”

The crowd quietly watched as the Ghost Bride strolled to the center.

“To expose the Red King, we must first have the Red King Exposure Card.”

The Angel Right Wing appeared to have just gone through a battle, a bloodstain at the corner of his lips, spoke coldly, “And to obtain the location of the Red King Exposure Card, someone must first collect 150 Ember Stones. Do you have them?”

“I naturally do not, but esteemed ones, if we combine our resources, we certainly will?”

Lady Mi’s lips curled faintly, “To be honest, I already have 118 Ember Stones.”

“So, if each of you gives me another 4 stones, making 150, naturally, we can get the location of the Exposure Card.”

“Rest assured, once we get the information, I will return the Ember Stones to all of you. After all, this game of slaughter is only halfway, I won’t offend eight enemies at once over merely thirty Ember Stones, would I?”

“If I were to break my promise, you all can join forces to hunt me down.”

Upon hearing this, the eight men pondered silently for a moment, then the Guardian Sage of the Just Church, Zong Yue, was the first to throw out four Ember Stones.

Lady Mi caught them effortlessly, smiling softly, “You are quite decisive, my lord of protection.”

Immediately after, the Black Moon Pope, Tu Lin, and Jin Shiyin, all threw out four Ember Stones without expression.

The current situation made it basically clear that whoever disagreed with the plan was the Red King, or at least, was extremely suspected of being the Red King.

Even if they weren’t the Red King, no one wanted to be falsely accused of being the Red King, as that would be troublesome.

Especially Xia Feng, who was already suspected of being the Red King on the surface during the first round settlement phase, although most people didn’t really think he was.

Huang Zhaoyue, Xia Feng, Jinyang Tian, and Yophiel also threw out their Ember Stones.

Lady Mi skillfully caught them instantly.

Information appeared in everyone’s minds.

[In the current second round, a player has already collected 150 Ember Stones! The location of the Red King Exposure Card is announced——]

Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat; the card’s location was identical to the Authority Fragment!

Everyone, sensing something, looked up toward the sky.

The card wasn’t far from everyone, right at the highest point of this Thunder Sea.

Lady Mi did not escape with the funds but credibly returned the Ember Stones to everyone.

Not long after, everyone ascended to the center above the sea of thunder, with plasma beneath their feet and only darkness overhead.

And at the center of this Thunder Sea was a sphere of constructed lightning, about ten cubic units, floating silently.

The focus of everyone’s attention was directly captured by two items in the center of the spherical lightning.

A crimson red card and a clear red light sphere.

In the light sphere, divine runes, akin to the Star River, flowed.

Clearly, that was the Red King Exposure Card and Guihua Authority Fragment.

“…..!” Xia Feng’s eyelid twitched; it was truly unlucky. Why couldn’t these two things be stored separately?

Moreover, they were exposed directly, not existing in the form of ash lands.

But just as his inward curses passed in an instant, he detected something amiss.

That spherical lightning seemed not to be ordinary currents but a kind of bizarre Array that was difficult to comprehend, and the Array’s aura felt oddly familiar to Xia Feng.

“This is the Light Dragon King’s Power of Authority · Light Ruins.”

Huang Zhaoyue said coldly, “Once this Array is deployed, it lasts for ten thousand years without dispersing; it can imprison any life form/non-life form forever within the Light Ruins Realm. The Light Ruins Realm is a one-way entry, where those inside do not age or die but suffer from endless Void penalties, which was a means for the Light Dragon King to punish his subordinates.”

“Even a Heavenly God Level entity attempting to break this Array would have to spend considerable effort. This Array can hardly be broken by brute force alone; it relies on analysis and computational ability, on innate talent and insight.”

Upon hearing her explanation, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Jin Shiyin frowned, tsking, “But even so, there are many Spiritual Particle Structures in this Array we have yet to grasp at our level. It’s basically impossible to break the Array in a short period. Even if Great Lord Huang Ye arrives, he’d have to contemplate a bit.”

From a distance, Tu Lin, who had been silent throughout, suddenly spoke grimly, “Judging from this realm’s condition, its efficacy has been dramatically reduced over time, losing nearly nine-tenths, and naturally, the density of the Spiritual Particle Structures has also greatly declined.”

He possessed the Light Dragon King’s Divine Relic · Light Abyss and though he failed in scheming against Huang Zhaoyue half a month ago, he became more familiar with the Light Dragon King’s power.

He roughly estimated the state of the spherical lightning.

Hearing Tu Lin’s analysis, everyone nodded with renewed confidence.

“If this is the case, then united, we may very well break this Array.”

The Black Moon Pope spoke rarely, gazing around, his voice aged and deep, “You are all genius talents of your own eras; breaking this Array within a month should not be difficult?”

“Tsk-tsk, old Pope, you should ask Jinyang Tian and Huang Zhaoyue about this.” Jin Shiyin chuckled lightly, “These two are the only ones acknowledged as Divine-level geniuses here. If they are unwilling to break the Array, our difficulty coefficient will double.”

Jinyang Tian stood with his arms folded, his sharp eagle eyes indifferent. He ignored Jin Shiyin and casually said, “It doesn’t need a month; ten days is enough.”

Xia Feng stood in the shadows, silently observing these individuals’ states; everyone was very eager and proactive about breaking the Array, showing no sign of hesitation, making it impossible to deduce who was the Red King.

They’re really good at hiding.

However…. watching the geniuses discussing so vigorously, Xia Feng felt somewhat helpless.

If he had discovered this place alone, without Miss Mu by his side, breaking the Array would indeed be almost impossible, and he wouldn’t be able to obtain the Authority Fragment within.

But the Light Ruins Realm…. this thing, like the Light Abyss, is the authority power created by the Light Dragon King after receiving the Pale Blessing.

Therefore…. it can also be easily shattered by his Pale Bloodline!

There’s no need to make it so complicated.

Breaking the Array in ten days?

Ten days, my ass! Xia Feng sighed inwardly, but now that everyone was here, he could only go with the flow.

But fortunately, with these eight geniuses, each amazing in their own right, working together, they may not surpass Miss Mu, but dealing with the Light Ruins Realm should be a breeze.

The only thing that puzzled Xia Feng was why the Authority Fragment and the Red King Exposure Card were placed together, not sealed in the ash land manner, but rather sealed within the Light Ruins Realm?

After all, up to this point, item cards were either obtained during settlement phases or found in ash lands, none of them were exposed outright.

Strange indeed… Xia Feng pondered furtively, as everyone agreed to break the Array.

Xia Feng looked up, meeting Huang Zhaoyue’s gaze.

“If you want to break the Array immediately, I can distract these people.” Huang Zhaoyue’s ghostly soft voice echoed in Xia Feng’s mind through mind transmission.
