Chapter 316 Stalemate
In an instant, the dense, drum-like heavenly sounds suddenly stopped, and the next moment, they exploded with a deafening roar, like a thunderclap in the ears of everyone!
Then, even though only the sound came, everyone felt as if they had seen it with their own eyes—endless fragments shimmering with mysterious fluorescence, shooting out in all directions like a celestial maiden scattering flowers!
Everyone was horrified. They focused their attention and looked closely, but they saw nothing and heard no sound. For a moment, they were all bewildered and stared at each other in confusion.
The atmosphere instantly turned as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, chillingly cold!
After a long while, "Wei Ying, look!"
"Gentlemen, do not be so discouraged. Look up at the sky. We are not doing something in vain!"
At the mass grave of the two realms, Lan Zhan and Lan Wenjing pointed to the sky and calmly spoke at the same time!
Feeling inexplicably disheartened, the group subconsciously looked up at the location the two were pointing to, and saw that the spot where the sun had been relentlessly bombarding them had now been breached, creating a large, leaky hole. The hole was surrounded by numerous irregular cracks of varying lengths, and as time went on, the area and length of the cracks continued to widen...
Everyone held their breath and stared intently. In just five or six breaths, under their hopeful, burning gazes, the bowl-sized black hole had expanded to the size of an adult!
On Wei Ying's side, he could clearly see a vast and unfathomable world, yet strangely familiar in its aura, struggling to squeeze through the ever-expanding black hole and into the world where he was!
Meanwhile, Lan Wenjing could also feel the aura emanating from the world that was so familiar to them that it was ingrained in their very being!
However, just as everyone was feeling overjoyed, the exciting and exhilarating sounds from the sky suddenly came to an abrupt end!
The crowd's initial elation plummeted into despair!
"Ahhhhh! Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying, whose heart had been tossed around like a rollercoaster by this sudden change, couldn't help but point to the sky and jump up and down.
"What's wrong with this piece of junk?! It moves and then stops, moves and then stops! Can't it just be quick and easy?!"
The others shared the same dejection and anger!
Lan Zhan, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed the redness in Wei Ying's eyes, a sign of anger. His heart ached, and he wished he could fly to Wei Ying's side immediately to comfort him.
But now, he had to guard the formation and couldn't move around freely, so he could only look at Wei Ying with great tenderness and comfort him gently.
At the same time, he multitasked with his eyes, constantly scrutinizing the surrounding array and the environment around the black hole in the sky, trying to discover subtle changes that might be overlooked!
Suddenly, a small section of array pattern at the southern edge of the magic array behind the two of them, where the array light was somewhat dim, caught Lan Zhan's attention!
A thought struck him, and he sensed something amiss. He looked up and stared intently at Wei Ying, who was pouting in dissatisfaction, and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "Wei Ying, look at this array pattern. Is there anything unusual about it?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying quickly shifted his gaze, and as soon as his eyes met hers, he exclaimed, "Huh?" Wei Ying was immediately drawn to her attention!
Although Wei Ying was also unable to move at this time, the location where the array pattern was dim was not too far from the two of them. The two of them were also highly skilled cultivators and had exceptionally sharp hearing and eyesight!
Even from this distance, it's as clear as reading the lines on a palm!
Wei Ying stroked his chin, savoring it for a moment before finally speaking with a wry smile, "Lan Zhan, this formation is running out of mana!"
Lan Zhan: "...?"
Startled for a moment, Lan Zhan immediately realized, "But, do we still need to input star power?"
Wei Ying squinted his peach blossom eyes and replied with a wry smile, "Indeed, this magic array consumes energy too quickly! It only lasted for a short while after consuming so much spiritual energy! It needs a massive amount of spiritual energy to be added before it can continue to function!"
Lan Zhan examined his internal organs and found that his star power had recovered to less than 30%. He guessed that Wei Ying and the other people in the array were probably in similar condition to him.
But the current situation demands that they charge in even more energy, the more the better, this...
"Wei Ying, how much spiritual energy is still needed?" Lan Zhan pondered for a moment, a deep worry appearing in his light-colored glass eyes, and asked in a low voice.
As if he knew exactly what Lan Zhan was thinking, Wei Ying smiled and said, "Lan Zhan, we have enough spiritual energy, but we'll have to hold on for a while longer!"
Lan Zhan paused for a moment: "Should we notify the others?"
Wei Ying raised an eyebrow: "Let's inform Fellow Daoist Gu Heng and the others. As for Father and the others, Qi Ye and Father are here!"
Of course, despite saying that, the two of them still sent a notification to people in various places at the same time via communicator.
Afterwards, reassured, everyone worked hard to regulate their breathing and restore their spiritual energy, while also hurriedly channeling their newly generated spiritual energy into the formation.
Then, silently but persistently watching the movements in the sky, slowly changing like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves!
The sun rises and sets in the west; the golden crow flies and the jade rabbit runs.
After enduring three full cycles of the sun and moon, everyone felt they were only one step away from becoming mummies, and their spiritual veins were so exhausted that they could no longer squeeze out a single drop of spiritual power!
Suddenly, a new commotion arose in the sky!
