You've Been Here All Along?

Even a Principality Angel couldn't break the Fortress Array. Two-Blade Demon didn't believe a mere skeleton could break an array that was, in some sense, almost invincible.

These two life forms weren't even in the same tier.

Two-Blade Demon didn't know what this world was truly like, but in the Northern Wasteland, talent determined everything.

Many powerful beings had special gifts for cultivation, but without talent, it was all for nothing.

Some existences were born with various heaven-defying opportunities and constitutions, while those born without talent were basically hopeless for high ranks in this lifetime.

Beings like skeletons, the lowest-tier creatures, also had the lowest talent.

Therefore, Two-Blade Demon completely dismissed Jiang Cheng, who was preparing to break the array.

"Heh, there are always some fools who think too highly of themselves. I'd like to see what he's trying to do."

The Three-Pronged Demon's ten pairs of demon eyes stared intently at Jiang Cheng, but its posture was very relaxed, sitting on its throne, tapping its fingers leisurely.

At this moment, a water screen before it reflected the image of Jiang Cheng swinging his blade.

The Fortress Array's core was a stone shield with an ancient design, looking indestructible. Just one glance would make anyone instinctively think:

This shield cannot be broken!

But the Blue Skeleton in the image clearly didn't believe this.

Clang clang clang clang clang...

Sounds of blade strikes echoed continuously, accompanied by countless brilliant flashes of blade light descending. Innumerable afterimages appeared, slashing down on the Fortress Shield.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang...

Crisp metal collision sounds rang out, instantly changing the faces of both Three-Pronged Demon and Two-Blade Demon.

"This... how is this possible? This skeleton's speed? Not good!"

The moment Jiang Cheng's blade light fell, Three-Pronged Demon shot up from its throne.

"Quickly stop it! It's going to break the array!"

Two-Blade Demon also changed color drastically, never expecting such an undead existed in this world, capable of accelerating to such terrifying speeds!

That last strike must have been... 13... 15 blades?

What kind of concept was this?

Fifteen strikes in an instant, with afterimages so clear they seemed substantial - truly terrifying!

If they let it strike a few more times, wouldn't it be disastrous?

The array would be broken directly!

The Three-Pronged Demon, who had been dismissive just moments ago, now felt somewhat panicked.

"How do we stop it? My lord? We can't make it in time, can we?"

Two-Blade Demon said in panic.

"Go quickly! Send Old Crocodile to block it!" The Three-Pronged Demon's ten compound eyes showed great alarm.

But Two-Blade Demon made no move, instead sighing with relief, "My lord, no need to go. He probably can't break it. Look, he's already stopped."

Seeing Jiang Cheng had stopped attacking, Two-Blade Demon immediately stopped the equally panicked Three-Pronged Demon, continuing,

"My lord, you must know that such extreme speed generally can't be maintained for long. The Fortress Array requires a hundred attacks to the energy gem at the center within five breaths to shatter it. Where would we find someone with 5000 attack power?"

"Mm, this skeleton probably can't do it." The Three-Pronged Demon also relaxed after hearing Two-Blade Demon's analysis.

But the next moment, they saw in the water screen that Jiang Cheng's azure long blade instantly decomposed and condensed into two long swords, one left and one right, preparing to launch another assault on the Fortress Shield.

"Heh, thinking changing weapons will increase speed? Two weapons can double the speed? What wishful thinking..."

Boom!

With an explosion, the water screen suddenly shattered, interrupting Three-Pronged Demon's words and startling it.

"What happened? The Scrying Eye broke? Is the array broken?"

Roar! Howl!

Rumble!

No one needed to answer. With the Mountain God's cries of anguish and massive reactions, it was clear.

The array was broken!

Because the Scrying Eye was hidden within the Fortress Array's core, concealed on the Fortress Shield.

The Scrying Eye and Fortress Shield were one entity. Once the Fortress Shield shattered, it truly broke.

Changing weapons increases speed?

That's too ridiculous!

Who knows what they experienced.

Boom!

With earth-shaking tremors, Three-Pronged Demon and all its subordinates, who were inside the Mountain God's eyes, were all thrown out. Caught off guard, they crashed into the solid stone walls, their bodies immediately suffering severe injuries.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng and the others in the Mountain God's stomach only experienced flesh and blood tissue on the walls, which provided cushioning, so they didn't suffer major injuries.

Only Huo Silou and the others were in complete confusion, having no idea what had happened.

"What's going on? Who came to save us? Why is everything suddenly shaking?"

"Damn... my neck almost snapped, but just now, I think I saw blue blade light? Could it be Skeleton God came to save us?"

"Waaah... finally, we don't have to die! Skeleton God, is that you?"

"Stop shouting. Even if he saved us, he's probably outside now. How could he hear us talking? Everyone grab onto anything nearby, don't get thrown out!"

Huo Silou reminded them.

"You all hold tight, I'll see if I can finish it off." Jiang Cheng followed up on Huo Silou's words, giving instructions to the others.

Immediately, Huo Silou, who had just been preparing for violent shaking, was completely stunned.

"Skeleton Big Brother, you... you've been here all along?"
