"Another method?" Everyone looked at Rean curiously. "What exactly would you need to do?"
Rean faintly smiled. "Did everyone forget what my array actually does?"
Celis was the first to understand. "It separates Godly Energy into Celestial Energy and Godly Pressure before using the Godly Pressure for disguise..." His eyes lit up afterward. "You are going to use the disguise function itself."
Celis’s words only made Tobao and the others even more confused.
"What do you mean by that?" one of the Array Masters immediately asked.
Rean laughed after seeing Celis catch on so quickly. "You really have been with us for a long time already. Hahaha!"
Only then did he turn back to Tobao. "My array literally manipulates Godly Pressure to create disguises. So, instead of using it normally, I can simply amplify that pulling effect and forcibly drag out any nearby Godly Pressure."
"I see!" Tobao quickly understood as his eyes brightened. "No one has ever created an array capable of manipulating Godly Pressure before. Naturally, whoever carries hidden Godly Pressure inside their body wouldn’t be capable of stopping it from reacting to such an array."
He then continued his reasoning. "There was never any precedent for protecting concealed Godly Pressure in the first place. Godly Pressure itself doesn’t strengthen the expert; that is the role of Godly Energy. Even if the pressure leaks out, the puppet wouldn’t actually weaken. However..." Tobao narrowed his eyes. "It would immediately reveal who possesses Godly Pressure and who does not."
"Exactly." Rean nodded in confirmation.
Tobao then thought even further ahead.
"In that case..." he muttered. "Couldn’t you eventually use the surrounding Godly Pressure itself for your disguising arrays? If you managed that, you wouldn’t need Godly Crystals anymore."
The idea clearly excited him.
After all, the greatest limitation of Rean’s airplane was its absurd consumption of Godly Crystals.
Unfortunately, Rean immediately shook his head.
"That wouldn’t work at all."
Tobao looked puzzled. "Why?"
Rean quickly explained.
"A Godly Creature’s unique identity is tied to its Godly Pressure. When Godly Pressure enters a creature’s body, it changes according to that creature’s cultivation and characteristics. Afterward, when released again, other Godly Creatures can recognize that specific identity through their senses."
He then pointed toward the surroundings.
"Natural Godly Pressure doesn’t possess any identity at all. If I used only environmental Godly Pressure for disguise, the result would be the exact opposite of concealment." Rean shrugged helplessly. "To Godly Creatures, we would look like a massive clump of unidentified Godly Pressure floating around. We would stand out like a bright sun in their senses. So unfortunately, that approach is impossible."
"I see..." Tobao felt somewhat disappointed after hearing that.
If Rean could use surrounding Godly Pressure instead of Godly Crystals, mass-producing disguised flying vessels would’ve become feasible.
Unfortunately, reality wasn’t so convenient.
And Tobao personally witnessed how expensive Rean’s airplane was to maintain.
That airplane was actually very small, capable of carrying only around ten cultivators. A larger ship would undoubtedly consume even more Godly Crystals.
Still, Tobao quickly pushed those thoughts aside.
"So..." he looked at Rean seriously. "Shall we begin?"
Rean nodded.
However, just as Tobao was about to agree—
One of the Array Masters suddenly moved!
His right hand instantly turned black-gold, while his aura exploded with power far beyond what his cultivation should’ve allowed.
The surrounding Array Masters didn’t even have time to react.
By the time they realized what happened, the man’s hand was already reaching toward the back of Tobao’s neck!
Yet, at that exact moment, Tobao’s calm voice echoed through everyone’s minds via Celestial Sense.
’Amitabha, Amitabha... you are far too desperate.’
Tobao’s figure blurred.
The black-gold hand passed straight through an afterimage.
Immediately afterward, Tobao’s palm came crashing down onto the back of the Array Master’s head like a heavenly hammer!
*BANG!*
*CRASH!*
The entire floor trembled violently as blood splattered in every direction.
The Array Master indeed possessed combat power far beyond his apparent cultivation, but he was still only an Aura God in the end.
Against a Law God like Tobao, even a sneak attack meant nothing.
Tobao pressed the man firmly into the ground before raising his cold eyes toward the remaining Array Masters nearby.
"I will open the barrier now so the Godly Subjugation Guild can take this puppet away," Tobao declared calmly.
His expression then darkened slightly.
"If any of you attempts to flee..." his voice grew colder, "...I will not remain as lenient as I was with this one."
He then sighed softly. "I am a monk. Please do not force me to kill unnecessarily."
Tobao waved his sleeve.
