The Buddha statue has reappeared!

This time, the statue was even more life-like, more fully-formed!

Whether in contour or detail, it exuded an exceptionally smooth aura, and even under flashing lightning, it shimmered brilliantly.

Qin Feng and the others could clearly feel the power surging from the center of the Reincarnation Map, continuously perfecting it!

"Quick, run!!"

Young Master Bai He shouted at this moment, "This Buddha statue has an overwhelming Evil Qi!"

The others felt a spine-chilling terror at their backs.

The Evil Qi was too intense.

Just by glancing at this Buddha statue, one felt as if seeing the Devil himself, an urge to kneel in submission...

Below Five Rings Mountain.

Apricot blossom disciple Liu Li, with a longsword on her back, finally arrived below Five Rings Mountain.

Looking up at the Buddha statue in the sky, her brows furrowed tightly, she said: "This is bad, we must break the Array as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Array fully activates and the Black Monk is completely resurrected, the situation will be dire..."

As she spoke, she prepared to ascend the mountain.

At this moment.

Suddenly, three figures blocked her path!

The leader was an elder in a Daoist robe, with only one eye.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Li from Xinghua Gully, what a coincidence!" The elder said in a weirdly jovial tone.

Liu Li raised her eyebrows and retorted, "There's no time for you now, move aside!"

There wasn't much time left before the Great Formation would fully activate, and there was no room for further delay.

"Heh, you think you can just ignore us?" The elder sneered, "This eye of mine, you blinded it. I've been worrying about when I could avenge myself, and now that I've finally encountered you, how could I possibly let you go?"

"..."

Liu Li furrowed her brows upon hearing this.

The elder blocking her way was called Thousand Valley Taoist.

Three years prior, Thousand Valley Taoist had been caught kidnapping infants for his evil Cultivation Technique, and Liu Li had fought and injured his eye with her sword.

"I don't have time to fight with you right now. After I've completed my task, I'll find you for a duel! Rest assured, I won't go easy on a villain like you, I want to kill you more than you know!" Liu Li said.

She glanced at the Buddha statue above, which was becoming more and more solid.

Thousand Valley Taoist sneered in return, "Impossible, I can't wait to take my revenge!"

"If you continue to block me, there will be trouble! Don't you sense the Evil Qi nearby getting stronger and stronger?" Liu Li urgently said.

"So what if it is? I only want your eyes!" Ordered the Thousand Valley Taoist to his two disciples, "Kill her!"

The two disciples immediately drew their swords and slashed at Liu Li.

Liu Li aimed to directly climb up the mountain.

But with a flash of his figure, Thousand Valley Taoist once again blocked her path, starting to fight with her...

At Five Rings Mountain, in the Reincarnation Map.

Young Master Bai He and the others, watching the Buddha statue grow increasingly real, thought of escaping in horror.

But Qin Feng stopped them at this time.

"Speed up, continue breaking the Array!"

Qin Feng said with furrowed brows.

He, too, had noticed the richness of the Evil Qi; such heavy Evil Qi—if the Array were to fully activate—the consequences would be unimaginable!

"But our strength, it's not nearly enough to break it!"

Young Master Bai He said anxiously.

"Use my strength."

As he spoke, Qin Feng replaced one of the people and sat cross-legged in front of the gemstone.

Then.

He pressed one hand on the gemstone and, with a mighty effort, exclaimed, "Separation Fire Essence!"

As the words fell.

A white flame ignited on top of the gemstone!

Despite the heavy rain.

It could not extinguish the white flame.

"Separation Fire Essence? That's Divine Fire, amazing!" Young Master Bai He exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Speed up!" Qin Feng called out.

Seeing this, Young Master Bai He had no choice but to break the formation again.

Quickly.

Under his influence, Qin Feng's Separation Fire followed the gemstone and extended along the "golden thread" on the ground.

The spider-web-like golden thread was now completely ablaze with Separation Fire!

Finally.

All the Separation Fire converged towards the "Array Eye"!

The small dot of the Array Eye also immediately burst into roaring flames!

"Amazing!!"

Young Master Bai He and the others watched excitedly.

They hadn't expected the power of the Separation Fire Essence to be so strong that they could clearly feel the Array Eye crackling as it burned from the inside.

The center of the Reincarnation Map, which was releasing Evil Qi, now emitted intermittent streams, as if a malfunctioning machine was sputtering, with Evil Qi appearing and disappearing...

Below Five Rings Mountain.

The fierce battle between Liu Li and Thousand Valley Taoist continued.

Their cultivation was evenly matched.

Plus, with Thousand Valley Taoist having two powerful disciples by his side, he had a slight advantage over Liu Li.

Liu Li was extremely anxious.

If she didn't break the Array soon, it would really be a disaster!

"Rain Blade!!"

She swung her sword, unleashing a vast array of Rain Blade-like beams, aiming to break free and make for the mountain.

"Trying to escape? Hmph!"

After dodging the beams, Thousand Valley Taoist immediately flicked his horsetail whisk!

The horsetail whisk instantly lengthened, wrapping around Liu Li.

He then pulled it back violently.

At that moment.

A "clang" was heard.

The Dagger she carried was knocked to the ground by the horsetail whisk.

"Outer Heaven Stone?!!"

Thousand Valley Taoist's eyes widened as he quickly picked up the Dagger, laughed heartily while looking at the gray stone inlaid in the handle, "Lucky me! I've actually found the legendary Outer Heaven Stone, hahaha..."

"Give it back to me!"

Liu Li's brows furrowed as she immediately lunged to snatch it.

She knew her own capabilities; without the power of the Outer Heaven Stone, she couldn't even ponder breaking the Array, let alone deal with the Black Monk afterwards!

"Hehe, how could I possibly return such a treasure to you!"

This version is sourced from MV3L3MPYR.

Thousand Valley Taoist sneered.

Then, the two resumed their fierce battle.

The more they fought, the more worried and anxious Liu Li became, as the Buddha figure in the sky seemed to be nearing completion...

At this moment.

Qin Feng's Separation Fire Essence caused the Array Eye to burn fiercely.

The entire colossal Reincarnation Map also began to intermittently emit explosive noises, like some parts of a large machine breaking down.

"It's not fast enough," said Young Master Bai He anxiously, "At this burning speed, it would take a moment to completely destroy the Array Eye, but it's too late, the Array's operation is about to complete!"

"Is there no other way?"

Qin Feng asked.

Looking at the burning Array Eye, Young Master Bai He lamented, "There's no way. While it's being burned by the Separation Fire Essence, it could be destroyed with external forces, but it's too hard. At least the strength of a Ninth Grade Grandmaster is needed, so there's nothing we can do..."

"I have the Life and Death Blade, I can give it a try."

Qin Feng stood up, drew the Life and Death Blade, walked up to the Array Eye, and then heavily chopped down.

Clang——!

The Array Eye exploded violently, throwing Qin Feng back dozens of meters.

"It's useless. The Life and Death Blade is considered a top Divine Weapon, but the strength of the Array Eye, which gathers the entire Array's power, is too great. Even a top Divine Weapon can't overthrow it instantly," said Young Master Bai He, "Unless we use external Divine Power."

"External Divine Power?"

Qin Feng didn't understand.

"Like the power of Floating Light Stone, Outer Heaven Stone and the like. Alas, such treasures, even if you have money, you can't buy them. We better run!" Young Master Bai He urgently said, then his expression froze, looking up at the Buddha figure, "It's over, we can't escape..."
