Chapter 531 Power Convergence Array

As Vulkor traced the familiar lines of energy flow, he felt a disconcerting emptiness. His signature, a subtle twist in the pattern, had vanished.

Intrigued, Vulkor delved deeper, his brow furrowing further. His inspection revealed a shocking discovery. Nestled beneath the existing formation, like a parasite clinging to its host, lay another array, a foreign and unfamiliar one.

This additional array, crafted with an impressive degree of finesse, was siphoning off a portion of the energy flowing through the Earth Vein and Heaven Vein. But it was currently inactive, a dormant predator waiting for its moment to strike.

A shiver ran down Vulkor's spine. This was no random anomaly. This was deliberate sabotage, a calculated attempt to disrupt the very lifeblood of Ironscale Forge Settlement.

The question that burned in his mind was why? Who would dare tamper with the core of their energy supply? And where was this stolen energy being directed?

He spent the next several hours dissecting the foreign array, his frustration mounting with each passing moment. The craftsmanship was impressive, but the purpose remained a mystery. The array, designed to redirect energy, offered no clues about its ultimate destination.

Despite the lack of answers, one thing was clear - this was a threat that couldn't be ignored. Vulkor knew he needed to alert the leadership, but the implications were daunting.

He mulled over his options, a storm brewing within him. Finally, he decided on a course of action.

He wouldn't raise an immediate alarm, but he would discreetly inform a select few, those he trusted implicitly.

Together, they would investigate further, gather evidence, and then present their findings to the leadership.

Little did Wang Jian and Yu Qing know, their meticulously planned operation had snagged on an unexpected snag. A lone devil, meticulous and observant, had seen through the veil of concealed tactic.

Days blurred into weeks as Wang Jian and Yu Qing weaved their web of deceit. Each infiltration was a thrill, a test of their combined skills. Wang Jian, a master of stealth, navigated the heavily guarded settlements like a phantom. Yu Qing, ever vigilant, provided backup, her celestial energy a potent deterrent against any unforeseen encounters.

Their routine became clockwork. Infiltrate, modify, vanish. Each settlement saw the same seamless integration of the Celestial Silver Disks, each leech silently siphoning a portion of the star's lifeblood.

Their confidence soared with each completed settlement. Thirty settlements completed, then forty. The intricate network of sub-arrays stretched across the star's surface, a silent serpent slowly constricting its prey.

Meanwhile, within the Infernal Steller Smith Tribe, a different kind of storm brewed. Vulkor, the Array Grandmaster of Ironscale Forge, shared his unsettling discovery with a select few – trusted colleagues holding prominent positions in other settlements.

Zhurga, the stoic Elder of Blackrock Quarry, listened intently, his obsidian beard twitching with suspicion. Xal, the fiery Overseer of Molten River, bristled with indignation. Drakos, the cunning Foreman of Cinder Peak, narrowed his eyes, his mind already calculating possibilities.

They formed a clandestine group, united by a shared sense of unease. Vulkor detailed his findings, the foreign array, and his inability to decipher its purpose. The air crackled with tension as they grappled with the implications.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"This is a threat of the highest order," Zhurga rumbled, his voice deep as an earthquake. "But who would dare attack us in such a manner?"

"Perhaps a rival tribe, seeking to weaken us before a strike," Xal suggested, her voice laced with fiery defiance.

He gestured towards a nearby rock formation, a natural crevice that offered a perfect hiding spot. With practiced efficiency, they retreated into the shadows, watching as the devils materialized in the valley.

There were five of them, all seasoned warriors with the distinctive markings of the Infernal Steller Smith Tribe. Their expressions were grim, etched with a mixture of confusion and growing apprehension.

They moved with a practiced caution, their celestial energy crackling at their fingertips. It was clear they sensed something amiss, a disruption in the natural flow of power within the star.

As they approached the pulsating Convergence Array, a low hum resonated from the ground beneath their feet. Their eyes widened in recognition. They weren't fools; they understood the purpose of the strange formation and the devastating energy it channeled.

"Someone," one of the devils growled, his voice laced with fury, "is tampering with the star's core!"

"We need to report this back to the Elders immediately!" another shouted, his voice tight with urgency.

But before they could turn to leave, a voice, cold and menacing, echoed across the valley.

"Going somewhere so soon, gentlemen?"

Wang Jian and Yu Qing stepped out of the shadows, their faces etched with a dangerous calm. The devils whirled around, their eyes widening in shock.

They recognized the telltale signs of a Blue Moon Eclipse Devil on Wang Jian, but the human beside him was a surprise.

"Who are you?" the leader of the group demanded, his voice trembling slightly despite his bravado.

A cruel smile played on Wang Jian's lips. "Call me... the harbinger of your demise."

The devils exchanged panicked glances.

But the Infernal Steller Smith Tribe didn't shy away from a fight. With a guttural battle cry, they charged.

The ensuing battle was swift and brutal. Yu Qing, a whirlwind of celestial energy, carved through the devils with her signature swordsmanship.

Wang Jian, a master of deception and shadow manipulation, danced around his opponents, his attacks precise and deadly.

Within minutes, the valley floor was littered with the fallen. The once proud devils lay lifeless, their expressions frozen in a mask of disbelief.

As the dust settled, Wang Jian surveyed the carnage, a hint of grim satisfaction playing on his face. "That takes care of the immediate threat," he murmured, turning to Yu Qing.

"But the real battle is yet to come," she said, her voice laced with concern. "They'll know soon enough what we've done. We need to act fast."

Wang Jian nodded, his gaze fixed on the pulsating Convergence Array. The energy flow was nearing its peak. The star's core was on the verge of implosion. "Indeed," he said, his voice filled with steely resolve.
