A sourcebox array could have a front side? Lu Yin felt puzzled. "How can I tell if it's facing me? The markings?"
"Exactly, there are markings etched across Tian Feng's surface. As long as you stay towards its back, you'll be fine. The markings point in three different directions."
Lu Yin concluded, "So there's only one direction to attack it from."
Tian Feng felt both frustrated and furious. It had never suffered the humiliation of someone analyzing its weakness right in front of it before.
The same thing had happened earlier, when Garan Zhiluo had revealed the abilities of Tian Ci and Tian En to the humans. Without that, the humans would have never been able to stop the Boundary Guardians.
Lu Yin raised a hand, and soil columns appeared all around Tian Feng. The stone was almost entirely surrounded. With a flick of his fingers, Lu Yin’s dirt columns shot forward.
He felt the sourcebox array start sealing his body again, but even without him controlling them, the columns of dirt continued forward out of pure momentum, though they lost a great deal of power. Still, Lu Yin only wanted to create an opening for the summoned Hongyan Mavis and Wu Tian.
Hongyan Mavis's image created green grass that surrounded Tian Feng. The grass was so thick that the Boundary Guardian’s vision was almost entirely impaired.
Wu Tian’s Martial Scriptures was ineffective against Tian Feng’s Skyrender Glyph Array, but the summon grabbed a dirt column and stabbed forward as if it were a spear.
Tian Feng spun around, blocking Wu Tian's attack.
It was at this moment that Lu Yin took action. Since Wu Tian was facing Tian Feng, it meant that Lu Yin was behind the creature. He took control of Wu Tian’s dirt weapon and stabbed it at Tian Feng from the front.
Tian Feng’s Skyrender Glyph Array was able to seal living creatures, but it could not stop the dirt columns.
There was a clang as the soil pierced into Tian Feng's body.
The stone trembled and let out a deep, furious roar. "You lowly humans! You dare to challenge the heavens? Insolent! Humanity should have been exterminated long ago!"
"Watch out, it's about to use its Two Worlds Dust Array," Garan Zhiluo warned, just in time. She was also attacking Tian Feng from inside. "This sourcebox array uses two parallel timelines as focal points, and then it overlaps them to instantly envelop everything. Another way to put it is that it’s drawing you into its core by eliminating a timeline."
Her explanation enraged Tian Feng, who screamed, "Garan, you're asking to die! I will make sure that you die miserably! I’ll flay all the flesh from your body and open you up in front of all humanity!
"Garan, Garan-"
Lu Yin's expression grew dark, and his dirt weapons continued to rain down on Tian Feng.
The markings on the stone’s surface flickered, serving as evidence that Lu Yin’s attacks were effective.
The assault was powerful enough to kill one of the Three Pillars and Six Skies. While Tian Feng was an Ortuser, that did not mean that it could simply ignore Lu Yin’s attacks.
Again and again, strikes landed. Lu Yin believed that his efforts would eventually break the sourcebox array.
Every time Tian Feng tried to use its Two World Dust Array, its attempt was thwarted by Garan Zhiluo.
Finally, Tian Feng could no longer endure, and a terrifying, murderous aura exploded.
Lu Yin's eyes flared. Just what was this?
An ominous bloodlust radiated out from the patterns that covered Tian Feng’s surface, and it quickly filled the sky above all six Scourges. Everyone’s hearts started to pound from fear.
Mu Ke frowned. What terrifying bloodlust! Who could develop something like this?
This bloodlust had been released from within Tian Feng, but that did not mean that this was the Boundary Guardian’s own bloodlust. The Ortuser was simply releasing the aura.
Jiang Feng glanced over at Tian Feng while tightly clenching his sword. This bloodlust would not be easy to deal with.
Sovereign Dou Sheng looked up at the sky while gripping his golden cudgel. His blood was boiling, and it gave his Triumphant Brawl even more fuel. The bloodlust had ignited the Sovereign’s fighting spirit. Di Qiong’s death had erased Arrow God’s desire to fight, and while Sovereign Dou Sheng had overwhelmed Arrow God, she still stubbornly refused to die.
Garan Zhiluo’s voice reached Lu Yin’s ears again. “This is the Threefold Absolutes Array. I can’t stop it. It uses three sources of bloodlust as the core of the sourcebox array, and they’re sealed within the patterns that cover Tian Feng’s body. I can’t stop this one, so be careful.
“The three bloodlust auras are from different sources. The first is from Sha, who was one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas during the Heavens Sect era. He became a cultivator after killing a million enemy soldiers, and he always blazed with bloodlust. For the rest of his life, he was never able to escape slaughters. While he was not particularly powerful, and while he certainly couldn’t compare to us, his bloodlust was terrifying and practically endless.
“The second comes from Blackie, who was also known as the God of Death.”
Lu Yin arched a brow. “The God of Death?”
“After the First Mainland shattered, Master disappeared, and I chased after Tian Feng, only to be trapped within it. At that time, the countless astral beasts of the Fourth Mainland rebelled. Blackie single-handedly slaughtered almost all the species there, and he made blood rain down upon the stars. Enraged, Yellowy fought him, and Blackie was soaked in the bloodlust of the astral beasts.
“Tian Feng ambushed Blackie and stole a large portion of his bloodlust.
“The third bloodlust aura comes from Tian Fa, the Boundary Guardians’ executioner. That creature claims to deliver heaven’s punishment, and it has executed countless creatures, though mostly humans.
"The Threefold Absolutes Array merges the three bloodlust auras into a single deadly strike that functions like a battle technique fueled by intent. You need to be very careful.”
Tian Feng roared, "So what if you understand it? My Threefold Absolutes Array kills with unmatched power! Even if you’ve studied it for thousands of years, you still wouldn’t be able to stop it! Humans, prepare to die!”
As the stone spoke, the terrifying bloodlust split into three parts, each moving independently of the other two, yet all three flowed together in a strange, harmonious manner as they slowly merged back together.
Sha’s bloodlust was like a cloud. It was disorienting, but it seemed at least somewhat normal.
The God of Death's bloodlust took on the appearance of various astral beasts, and everyone could hear illusory cries and roars from the beast images.
As for Tian Fa’s bloodlust, it mostly consisted of various humanoid forms, each of which was filled with sorrow and resentment. It was a sight that left people’s skin crawling.
The three bloodlusts eventually merged into a trident in the sky that pointed straight at Lu Yin.
Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically. He understood that the strength of this attack would be a serious problem.
Ancient God looked over at the distant trident as well. Even he had to acknowledge the power of this battle technique, and he would not even try to block the attack.
Lu Yuan started moving towards Lu Yin, but Ancient God blocked him.
"Musclehead, get out of my way!"
"Loam, this is a battle for survival. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"You’re seeking death!"
Lu Tianyi also wanted to go help Lu Yin, but if Lu Yin was unable to handle this trident, then neither could Lu Tianyi.
