Chapter 318 Chapter 318: The Birth Of Sixth-Star Array Master
?The shift in the array's dynamics captured the attention of those in the city, drawing their eyes away from the impending doom above. Whispers of awe and uncertainty rippled through the onlookers as they beheld the unprecedented transformation taking place.
"It's changing! Look at the array!" a voice exclaimed, cutting through the despondent murmurs. Heads turned toward the defensive formation, and gasps escaped the lips of those who bore witness to the enigmatic metamorphosis.
"Is this some kind of divine intervention?" a woman wondered aloud, her eyes wide with a mixture of hope and disbelief. The once distinct lines of the array now flowed together like a river of luminescent threads, weaving a radiant tapestry in the night sky. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
A seasoned cultivator, who had been attempting to quell the rising unrest, squinted at the changing array. "This... I've never seen anything like it. The array is harmonizing, combining different arrays together," he mused, his voice tinged with amazement. The intricacies of the merging formations spoke of a profound mastery that surpassed the understanding of many.
As the various schools of cultivation blended within the array, the defensive barrier took on a new brilliance. Threads of golden light intertwined with arcs of ethereal blue, and fiery red streaks danced alongside the calming hues of green. The array, now a harmonious symphony of energies, pulsed with an otherworldly vitality.
"It's beautiful," someone whispered, their initial fear momentarily forgotten in the face of the breathtaking spectacle unfolding above.
However, amidst the wonder, a sense of urgency lingered. The demonic hand continued its descent, unfazed by the dazzling display below. The citizens, torn between marveling at the evolving array and fearing the impending catastrophe, held their collective breath.
The air crackled with energy as the merged array reached its completion. The once disparate combination of different arrays, now stood united, a testament to the desperation of the moment. The array, now a colossal shield of intertwined energies, stood defiant against the encroaching darkness.
With the completion of the merged array, a surge of collective hope reverberated through the city. "Can it stop the hand?" someone dared to ask, their voice echoing the silent wishes of many.
He continued, revealing a glimpse into the demonic hierarchy. "The higher-ups recruit humans, infuse them with demonic energy through demonification, turning them into a hybrid race. While not as pure as demons, but still better than half-
demons."
Cryonex's voice resonated through the air, his words carrying an eerie blend of curiosity and impending danger. "Now I'm interested in the humans that make this happen. Come out, human. I have something to propose to you."
Confusion swept through the city as people exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of who the mysterious array master might be. Shortly after Cryonex's proclamation, a lone figure soared through the sky, heading towards the demonic commander. Gasps of recognition rippled through the crowd as they beheld the unexpected protagonist.
"It's Master Wei Lin!" exclaimed a seasoned cultivator, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"He's different from us," whispered a two-star array master in awe. "Master Wei Lin achieved the impossible, he's on a whole other level."
Whispers spread through the crowd as the citizens, cultivators, and even ordinary people recognized the figure gracefully approaching Cryonex. Wei Lin, a name synonymous with unparalleled and mysterious array mastery, had emerged as the unexpected hero in their darkest hour.
In the midst of the celestial tension, Cryonex regarded Wei Lin with a predatory gaze, intrigued by the human who had orchestrated the remarkable array. "Human," he spoke, his voice carrying a sinister resonance. "You've demonstrated an extraordinary skill. I have an offer for you – join us, and the demon race will give you all the recourse you want to go further."
Wei Lin, hovering in the air, met Cryonex's gaze with a calm and unwavering demeanor. "Demon sir, your offer may hold allure for some, but my allegiance lies with humanity. We are bound by more than just skill; we share a connection with this land."
Cryonex, though taken aback by Wei Lin's refusal, couldn't help but be intrigued. "You resist my offer even after witnessing the futility of your current situation? Humans are fragile, their civilizations easily shattered. Joining us would ensure your survival."
Wei Lin's eyes held a resolute gleam. "Survival at the cost of our humanity is not a path we choose. We stand united against the encroaching darkness, not out of desperation but out of the conviction that even in our vulnerability, we possess strength."
