Chapter 908: Locking the Formation's Core

The Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch arrived in person, accompanied by an endless horde of Yin soul puppets. They completely surrounded the only path available to the group, three layers deep.

Seeing the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch's soul form, Xu Yang sneered, "If you're truly confident, why not reveal your true body and fight me properly? What's the point of merely sending out this soul puppet?"

The Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch's soul body revealed a cold smile, hands clasped behind his back, adopting the posture of a superior being.

"I merely came to inform you that this place will be your prison for millennia to come. Do not imagine you can find an exit here; below lies an endless water prison, with no way out."

Xu Yang burst out laughing. "My Guigu Qimen Grand Array cannot possibly be wrong. Since this is the direction of the exit, the mechanism to break free from this dream must be hidden within this prison."

If his judgment was correct, the true exit should be hidden beneath this water prison.

The Yin Ancestral Witch seemed to realize something, a smile gracing his face. "Haven't you always wanted to play a game with me? Let's have a race against death then!

If you truly believe the exit lies below, I can let you dive into the water. However, in one minute, I will begin to completely freeze the entire water prison with my most powerful Yin-Sha energy.

By then, you will never be able to return to the shore; you will be frozen by me at the bottom of this water prison for all eternity. Of course, if you are adamant there's an exit down there, I suggest you give it a try. You can go one by one, or all dive in together. How you play, Sir A-Yang, is up to you."

The Winter Goddess deeply observed the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch's stance, feeling quite apprehensive. She leaned close to Xu Yang and couldn't help but whisper.

"Boss, judging by his demeanor, there's definitely no exit below. If we truly jump down, we'll fall right into his trap, and if he freezes us completely, we'll never get out."

Xu Yang looked at the Winter Goddess's timid expression and shook his head helplessly. "You probably don't understand the meaning of 'art of war'! Often, this is a tactic to conceal one's true intentions. My Guigu Qimen Grand Array will never be wrong!

Since the exit is hidden at the end of this space, the water prison is the only place where we can find the answer."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, without waiting for the Winter Goddess to react, he kicked her into the water prison. Then he exchanged a glance with Big Dog and Yunxiao beside him. The three of them simultaneously leaped up and dove towards the bottom of the water prison.

As the outlines of the four figures gradually disappeared into the water, the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch on the shore tightly furrowed his brows.

"This fellow, A-Yang, if I truly allow him to leave alive, it will lead to endless future troubles! He is far too cunning; not only is his strength formidable, but his mind also seems capable of seeing through everything!

Such an opponent must not be allowed to leave my fixed dream alive, or he will cause considerable trouble for the Priest Lord!"

The Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch finally broke his word. Without waiting a full minute, and shortly after the four individuals disappeared, he began to gather the incredibly concentrated Yin-Sha energy within him. He started to seal the water prison, causing the boundless water below to freeze solid in the shortest possible time.

At that moment, Xu Yang sent out a soul transmission to the three, guiding his teammates to the direction closest to the exit, as indicated by the Guigu Qimen formation.

Simultaneously, he immediately felt the increasingly dense Yin-Sha energy permeating from above. The water's fluidity below also rapidly diminished, quickly entering a state of freezing.

Sensing the impending danger, Xu Yang unhesitatingly unleashed his Sea God Domain, causing the surrounding water to surge wildly. Using his power, he resisted the Yin-Sha essence from above, preventing it from continuously invading the waters below. This action bought his three teammates enough time to activate the underwater mechanism.

"Damn it! Boss, there's no mechanism here at all. What are we supposed to do next?"

The Winter Goddess's soul transmission quickly reached him. Xu Yang pondered for a moment before immediately responding.

"Come to my position and unleash your frost-attribute power to counter this Yin-Sha essence. I will personally go down to activate the mechanism."

Soon, the Winter Goddess summoned her wild boar companion. With the aid of this powerful mount, her movement speed reached its limit, and she quickly arrived at Xu Yang's position, effectively switching places with him.

Xu Yang then immediately dived down to the hard wall surface at the very bottom of the water prison.

As expected, the wall that sealed the boundless water showed no visible flaws, yet Xu Yang was certain the secret was hidden within it.

Soon, the vital energy vortex within him began to frantically mobilize powerful primal energy. He condensed two streams of pure fire-attribute essence in his palm and unleashed them towards the wall.

In moments, the powerful fire-attribute energy took effect, completely refining the layer of Yin-Sha essence attached to the wall's surface into nothingness.

It was during this process that, with the Yin-Sha essence cleared, a delicate runic inscription appeared on the wall's surface. The energy continuously flowing from this mark was precisely the core of the entire fixed dream formation.

"That's amazing, Boss! You're truly brilliant to have found this!"

Xu Yang smiled deeply in the underwater depths.

"The Guigu Qimen Grand Array will never be wrong. Therefore, I was certain this place had to be the core of the entire fixed dream!

Once this inscription is shattered with a single strike, a breach will appear in the dream's core, allowing us to continuously tear apart its established rules with our own power.

Once the dream connects with the laws of the outside world, it will no longer be able to sustain itself."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, he summoned the Jade Bone Divine Sword before him. Simultaneously, leveraging the power of the Sea God Domain, the sword's might could be maximized even underwater.

Without the amplification provided by the Sea God Domain, the power of Xu Yang's sword strike would be significantly diminished.

As the sole weakness of the entire fixed dream, Xu Yang knew well that this inscription's strength surpassed that of ordinary purple inscriptions.

As he continued to gather his strength, the Yin-Sha aura from above grew increasingly dense. The Winter Goddess would soon be unable to hold on, which meant Xu Yang had only one chance to break the formation.
