Realm of the Night God

Chapter 722: Dual Arrays

Everyone had their own independent space, where they kept their belongings. They might not be able to recall everything they had, but they had a general idea of what was inside. Moreover, they could sense the items in their independent space through a unique intuition.

The reason they were preparing was to be able to deploy their desired tactics more efficiently and avoid any unexpected events.

Ma Yuanjin's Array Formation was not yet set up, but several people had already made preparations, waiting in silence for Ma Yuanjin to finish setting up the array.

At this moment, Ma Yuanjin was setting up a mysterious array, and the people present did not know what kind of array it was. However, they could tell that it belonged to the category of dead arrays.

A dead array referred to an array formed by various lifeless, special objects. The power of a dead array depended on the objects used to set it up and the array's inherent power.

Ma Yuanjin's current array used some bizarre objects, including a skull with a forest of white hair, the fangs of an unknown beast, and eyeballs that sent chills down people's spines. Apart from these terrifying objects, there were some things that Yang Haoran could not understand.

These objects were carefully placed around the Soul Suppression Tower by Ma Yuanjin, appearing chaotic to outsiders. However, the people present were not ordinary, and they knew that if the objects were placed randomly, it would be impossible to form a powerful array. Ma Yuanjin's placement of the objects seemed chaotic, but it must have hidden a profound mechanism, with a certain rule that outsiders did not know.

After placing all the necessary objects, Ma Yuanjin used his finger as a brush to paint around the Soul Suppression Tower.

Although he looked like an old man, with half his body already gone, his speed when painting the array was exceptionally fast.

His spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, and his bony fingers moved like sharp swords, effortlessly cutting through mud and rock.In the time it took to smoke a short cigarette, Ma Yuanjin stopped, and the entire Array Formation was completed under his fingertips.

Although the others present did not understand, they knew that Ma Yuanjin's personally set up array would not be simple, or it would not have taken him so long.

After setting up the Array Formation, Ma Yuanjin did not stop. He waved his hand, taking out a set of formation flags from his independent space.

Several formation flags and formation discs floated in the air before him. He stretched out his withered fingers, pointing at the floating formation flags, which then shot up and dispersed, surrounding the Soul Suppression Tower.

Ma Yuanjin grasped the formation disc in his hand and pointed at it, injecting power into it. The formation disc was activated, and all the formation flags under his control shot downwards.

The sound of breaking air filled the air as the formation flags inserted into the ground around the Soul Suppression Tower.

The mountain wind blew, and the flag leaves of the formation flags fluttered in the wind. As Ma Yuanjin activated the formation disc again, the formation flags that had sunk into the ground suddenly spun rapidly and then disappeared underground.

Ma Yuanjin had already set up a dead array around the Soul Suppression Tower, but he seemed to still be uneasy, so he took out another set of formation flags and set up a second Array Formation.

The Array Formation set up using formation flags was also a type of dead array, just with different setup objects. The latter was more convenient than the former, as it replaced various objects with formation flags.

As for which of the two Array Formations was stronger, there was no absolute answer. The key lay in the type of Array Formation set up, which was the inherent power of the Array Formation.

Moreover, the materials used to set up the Array Formation were also crucial. The same Array Formation, with different materials, would have different powers.

The same logic applied to the Array Formation set up using formation flags. The materials used to forge the formation flags were also critical, and the same Array Formation would have completely different powers depending on the materials used.

Therefore, although both were dead arrays, it was unclear which one was stronger.

However, Ma Yuanjin would take out the formation flag at this time, and it definitely wouldn't be an ordinary formation flag. Its power would be absolutely unmatched, or he wouldn't have taken it out at this time.

If he took out a weak formation flag, it would be unable to suppress the ghost, and he would not only lose face but also put himself in danger. He, of course, didn't want to see such a thing happen.

The formation flag sank into the ground, completely disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all. The ground couldn't find any signs of it, not even a tiny hole.

Ma Yuanjin closed his eyes, sensed it for a moment, and confirmed that there were no problems. Then, he looked at Zhang Changchun and nodded at him.

Zhang Changchun understood his meaning and looked at Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing.

"Both of you divine envoys, everything is ready. You can open your heaven souls now."

Previously, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing hadn't opened their heaven souls. Zhang Changchun had seen it, but he couldn't say much about it.

Now that everyone else's preparations were done, and Ma Yuanjin had successfully set up the Array Formation, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, the two Underworld Envoys, still hadn't opened their heaven souls. So, he had to remind them.

Why did they have to open their heaven souls first? There was naturally a consideration behind Zhang Changchun's words, as he was clear about the ghost's strength. If they didn't open their heaven souls, they wouldn't be able to inflict significant damage on the ghost. Only by opening their heaven souls and summoning their soul weapons could they heavily injure the ghost in a short time.

Although Zhang Changchun didn't say it explicitly, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing weren't fools and naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

The two of them exchanged a glance, didn't say anything, and then nodded at each other.

Then, they simultaneously opened their heaven souls, and a powerful energy fluctuation burst out from their bodies.

Although they didn't release their full strength, they still tried their best to suppress their power, making the energy fluctuation they released seem weaker.

Although they didn't communicate verbally, they both knew that if they released their full strength, it would definitely arouse suspicion from the others present. So, they both suppressed their power to the lowest level without prior agreement.

However, even though they had suppressed their power to the lowest level, the energy fluctuation they released was still extremely powerful.

A cold wind howled, and the temperature suddenly dropped. The faces of the people present changed, and they didn't expect Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing to release such powerful energy fluctuations.

Regarding the shock of the people present, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing didn't intend to explain. Xu Meijing slowly drew out her soul weapon, Killing, from the Yin Qi beside her, while Yang Haoran summoned his soul weapon, Waning Moon.

Killing, the black and narrow blade, emitted an unusual beauty, and when Xu Meijing held it, it added to her domineering aura.

Yang Haoran's Waning Moon, on the other hand, shone with a cold light, emitting a humming sound as it rotated slowly behind him.

"Let's get started. Don't waste everyone's time."

Xu Meijing's cold voice brought the people back to their senses, although they were all shocked by the energy fluctuations released by her and Yang Haoran. However, no one was foolish enough to ask directly.

"Please get ready, everyone. I'll open the Soul Suppression Tower now Once the ghost inside rushes out, we must use our strongest methods to attack it in the first instance and cripple it!"

Zhang Changchun spoke in a low voice, but before he could open the Soul Suppression Tower, it suddenly shook lightly. The White Jade Tower's body began to emit a thread of black Yin Qi, which didn't break through the Soul Suppression Tower's seal but flowed inside the tower.

Everyone present saw this scene, and some people even felt a bad premonition.

The sudden appearance of this situation seemed to be because the ghost inside had sensed their presence and was aware that they were about to attack it, which was why the Soul Suppression Tower was reacting this way.

It was unclear whether the ghost was too angry or intentionally provoking them, but Zhang Changchun discovered the sudden change in the Soul Suppression Tower. He hesitated for just a moment before gritting his teeth and deciding to open the Soul Suppression Tower anyway
