Chapter 1167: Inference of the Flaw

As the "Saint Transformation World Great Array" was activated, Jiatu stood with his hands clasped behind his back on a mountaintop within the massive and magnificent array, gazing indifferently at the space that was beginning to twist and fold.

"Heh heh, Jiatu, it seems your strategy of deterring the enemy with words has failed."

Laughter suddenly echoed from behind Jiatu. He turned his head slightly to see several figures appear. All of them emanated incredibly terrifying Genesis Qi fluctuations, clearly reaching the level of four billion! They were, in fact, the other Saint Prodigies from the Saint Ancestor Heaven.

"I told you it was a pointless effort. What threat could these lowly ants pose? In this fight for the Ancient Origin Heaven, we've been searching for traces everywhere, but the slaughter hasn't even begun. It would be truly uninteresting if they were actually scared away by you." The speaker was a powerfully built man, his upper body bare, revealing blood-red tattoos covering his skin. These tattoos depicted numerous ferocious beasts, and as they seemed to writhe, savage roars appeared to echo forth.

He grinned, a smile on his face, but the ferocity in his eyes sent shivers down one's spine.

"Dimoyue, our mission is to ensure that this Saint Transformation Array successfully devours the nine main veins. This matter is extremely important; if anything goes wrong and the Saints become enraged, none of us will be able to bear the consequences," Jiatu stated calmly.

"I don't want to see any 'capsizing in the gutter' incidents, so deterring them was naturally the best option."

"However, it seems the people from the Lower Five Heavens aren't all useless. That person earlier was somewhat beyond my expectations."

"That guy said he had a fifty percent chance of breaking our Saint Transformation World Great Array?" another Saint Prodigy asked mockingly, his blood-red pupils resembling two swirling vortices capable of devouring souls, eerie and sinister.

Jiatu chuckled softly and said, "Foolish and ignorant, talking nonsense."

The other Saint Prodigies also burst into laughter, their mirth filled with mockery. Even though the great array was not yet complete, it had been devised by the Saints of their Sacred Race. Its profundity was limitless; let alone someone in the Heavenly Sun Stage, even a Law Domain expert would likely find it difficult to break through.

"Now that the great array has been activated, instruct the other three Heavenly Domains to prepare to take up defensive positions."

"And our forces from Saint Ancestor Heaven are also dispersed among various key nodes."

Jiatu issued commands systematically, and people constantly went off to carry out their orders.

"Of course, this is merely a precaution... Now that the great array twists and folds space, it is as solid as a fortress. Although there are flaws within it, I don't believe the forces from the Five Great Heavens will be able to discern them."

If the enemy cannot discern these flaws and instead chooses to attack randomly, then no matter how many people from the Five Great Heavens come, they will all be buried here.

"Next, let's watch a good show from here."

Jiatu gazed with a smile beyond the great array.

"Let's see how these Five Great Heavens smash their heads against a wall. At that point, in their despair, they should transfer their anger to that fellow from before."

"Heh heh, I really look forward to it."

"Zhou Yuan, do we really have a fifty percent chance of breaking the array?"

On the mountaintop, Bai Xiaolu looked nervously at Zhou Yuan. The others also turned their gazes towards him.

Zhou Yuan slowly replied, "Whether we can break the array doesn't depend on any single person, but on the resolve of everyone from the Five Great Heavens. This battle is inherently perilous. Only by advancing bravely, without regard for retreat, can we seize a chance at survival in this desperate situation."

He didn't answer Bai Xiaolu's question directly because it held little meaning. The so-called fifty percent chance was indeed more to calm everyone's minds. If everyone fought with a desperate spirit, breaking the array was certainly not impossible.

Bai Xiaolu also calmed down, realizing her question was too naive. Her large, dark eyes turned towards the distant twisted space forming a 'heavenly wall' and asked, "What should we do next?"

Her tone already held a certain conviction; clearly, Zhou Yuan's previous actions had earned him recognition from her, the strongest Heavenly Sun Stage expert of Qiankun Heaven.

Zhou Yuan gazed intently into the distance and said, "Next, we will naturally attack the great array and disrupt the Sacred Race's plans."

"However, this great array's power is already immense, its terrifying strength unimaginable. If we attack haphazardly, even I might be instantly wiped out by its power. We must discern the array's weak points, use them as entry paths, infiltrate the array, and then continuously destroy its barrier nodes. Only then can we truly dismantle it."

Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong, and the others also nodded. They too had sensed the surging power within the great array. To be honest, it was beyond their ability to resist. If the array's primary purpose wasn't to target the nine ancestral Qi main veins, even as a damaged array, they wouldn't dare to approach it.

"So, do you know where the weak points are?" Bai Xiaolu asked expectantly.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "Do you really take me for an omniscient being? This is, after all, a barrier devised by the Saints of the Sacred Race. If I could immediately pinpoint the exact weak points just by looking at it a few times, wouldn't that be underestimating the Sacred Race's Saints too much?"

Bai Xiaolu was somewhat stunned: "If you can't find the weak points, then what's the point? We might as well pack up and go home."

Zhou Yuan ignored her and instead sat down cross-legged on the mountaintop. Sacred runes swirled deep within his pupils as he gazed at the vast barrier twisting the world in the distance.

The Genesis Qi within him surged wildly, fueling the sacred runes. He intended to use the power of the Obstruction-Breaking Sacred Rune to deduce the locations of those weak points.

"Give him some time."

Bai Xiaolu was about to say something else, but Guan Qinglong stopped her.

Jiang Jinlin, standing nearby, frowned and asked, "If he can't find the precise location of the array's weak points... what do we do then?"

Bai Xiaolu and Guan Qinglong also fell silent.

"I believe His Highness can do it!" A soft yet firm voice sounded from beside them. Everyone looked to see Su Youwei, her delicate features glowing with a faint jade-like radiance, exquisitely beautiful.

"Although I'm this guy's sworn enemy, if you knew what he's been through, you'd know that miracles aren't rare for him," Wu Yao said surprisingly, her phoenix eyes sweeping over Zhou Yuan's back.

Zhao Mushen crossed his arms, his gaze somewhat cold. "I have no desire to flee back to Hunyuan Heaven like a stray dog. I actually have quite an appetite for those Saint Prodigies of the Sacred Race, so for now, it's best to have some faith in this guy."

As the three of them spoke, more and more top experts from the Five Great Heavens subtly nodded in agreement.

Consequently, they began to spread out, forming layers of protection, guarding Zhou Yuan in the most crucial position.

Zhou Yuan, meanwhile, seemed oblivious to any external movements. Sacred runes ceaselessly swirled deep within his pupils, causing small trickles of blood to flow from the corners of his eyes, but he paid no attention. Within his eyes, countless Genesis Runes seemed to cascade down like a waterfall.

He was deducing.

This full-power deduction continued for a full five days!

On the fifth day, Zhou Yuan slowly closed his bloodshot eyes, which looked as if they were about to explode. And his somewhat hoarse voice softly emerged.

"Found it."
