"What is this?"

"It's an Array, quickly think of a way to break this Array!"

Many cultivators realized that the Array had enveloped them, immediately halting their steps with a grave look on their faces.

Seven Soul Banners occupied seven positions, each entangled with eerie Black Fog, extending into chains, connecting each banner to form a cage.

This Ghost Banner is Zhen Yuanzi's Lifebound Treasure, each banner being Spiritual Energy First Grade. Combined, they are equivalent to a Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifact, and driven by Zhen Yuanzi, they possess almost the power of a low-grade Soul Device.

The Black Fog churned, and one by one, hideous Evil Ghosts crawled out from within, baring fangs and brandishing claws, exuding a sinister horror.

Seven Soul Banners, each containing ten thousand Late Stage Divine Power Illusion Beasts, ten comparable to Star Wheel Mirror Illusion Beasts. Together, they total seventy thousand Late Stage Divine Power Illusion Beasts and seven hundred One-star Star Wheel Mirror Demon Beasts.

However, in half a year's time, Zhen Yuanzi refined the Soul Banners, having the seventy thousand Late Stage Divine Power Illusion Beasts devour and kill each other, cruelly selecting and eliminating to leave only the strongest Illusion Beasts and Demon Beasts.

Finally, the seven Soul Banners birthed a total of one thousand Star Wheel Realm Demon Beasts. Although the number decreased, their combined power increased several times over.

Like how a quantity of wood cannot match the power of a sword in hand, it's the same reasoning.

"Run quickly, find a way to break through this Array."

Upon seeing so many Demon Beasts and Illusion Beasts appearing in this region, a thread of despair arose in everyone's hearts.

"Break through from the left, attack!"

A group of Han Country cultivators, utilizing all kinds of magic, talismans, and treasures, desperately resisted the attacking Demon Beasts and Illusion Beasts, attempting to break through from the left side.

Suddenly, a huge phantom appeared in the air, entirely pitch-black, engulfed in dense Black Fog, with five inverted triangular heads flicking out blade-like snake tongues, penetrating the chests of five cultivators, blood gurgling out.

The five dead Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators looked up, staring incredulously at the formidable Monster before them.

"You people have captured women as tripod furnaces everywhere, harming countless individuals, today, my Zhen Yuanzi shall annihilate you, it's an act of celestial justice."

Zhen Yuanzi's expression was cold, yet seeing the massive black Monster within the Array, a hint of a triumphant smile appeared on his face. A year ago, Lin Mo had slain the Sky-reaching Giant Snake on Duwu Island, destroying the soul in three of its heads, but the remaining five souls were captured by Zhen Yuanzi into his Soul Banner, refined into this phantom five-headed snake.

Zhen Yuanzi alone blocked approximately three hundred cultivators cultivating on Flame Island, with a thousand Star Wheel Mirror Demon Beasts wantonly slaughtering and devouring the souls of enemies to strengthen themselves. Even amidst powerful Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, the presence of the five-headed snake eliminated the need for Zhen Yuanzi to intervene personally.

No one on the entirety of Flame Island was a match for Zhen Yuanzi.

Jilu City.

Liu Qiang and Maison, guests at the Maison Mansion, both froze in unison, pausing their actions, their faces suddenly changing.

Just now, a Divine Thought transmission entered their Divine Sea, informing them of an intrusion on Flame Island.

"Who dares to intrude on Flame Island so brazenly?"

Liu Qiang displayed an expression of astonishment.

"Never mind that, let's get going, the Divine Sect should have already gone to Busan to notify Lord Pei Yongjun." Maison put down his teacup, immediately transforming into a Flowing Light soaring into the sky.

Liu Qiang simultaneously transformed into a Flowing Light dashing towards the sky.

Not only the two of them, but all the cultivators from the Yin Yang Shishen Sect in Jilu City had already flown into the sky, swiftly heading towards Flame Island.

At the fastest speed, they should reach Flame Island in twenty minutes.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

Sword light pierced the firmament, every stroke incredibly fast, incredibly exquisite.

Three Law Enforcement Team members instantaneously turned to dust, vanishing into the heavens and earth. Lin Mo, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, with eight writhing red vines as thick as adult arms, crazily swung, wrapping up two Law Enforcers on the side. The enormous force of the vine's contraction crushed the two entirely, along with their souls blasted to

pieces by the red light emanating from the vines.

The closer to the volcano, the more Law Enforcers there were. Lin Mo directly erupted with combat power a hundredfold, battling with the Xuanyuan Sword and the Blood Demon Vine King, instantly killing these individuals.

To him, every second now was extremely precious.

"Kill!"

Lin Mo, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, slaying gods if gods block the way, slaying Buddhas if Buddhas block the way, sword light filled the sky, and any Law Enforcement Team member daring to obstruct was cleaved in half, soul annihilated.

Out of thirty-six Law Enforcement Team members, two had been slain by Lin Mo, leaving thirty-four remaining.

With magnificent blooms of sanguine flowers exploding in the air, the Law Enforcement cultivators blocking the path were all eventually killed by Lin Mo.

"Extract the Spirit Vein!"

Lin Mo formed a spell with his hand, a few drops of Essence Blood spilling from his fingertips, painted as ink on the broad blade of the Xuanyuan Sword, forming a peculiar, mysterious symbol, containing an ancient and desolate aura.

In the Cultivation World, the extraction and refining of Spirit Veins is a common practice. Some Great Powers even refine entire planets to create supreme Magic Treasures, and for some, extracting a Spirit Vein is but a flick of the wrist.

But with Lin Mo's current Innate Stage cultivation, forcibly extracting a Spirit Vein can only be achieved using certain secret techniques.

This secret technique was one Lin Mo learned in his past life on a planet named Gula Star.

Zhen Yuanzi had already sealed eighteen Spirit Talismans around the eighteen Spirit Vein nodes surrounding the volcano to prevent the Spirit Veins from escaping. Although Spirit Veins are not living beings, they are full of Spiritual Energy and, over time, develop an instinct to avoid danger.

Therefore, before extracting the Spirit Vein, it must be controlled first.

"Xuanyuan Sword, it's up to you, don't let me down."

Lin Mo gazed at the Xuanyuan Sword, contemplatively.

The Xuanyuan Sword bore an ancient, mysterious rune, the Sword God suddenly glowing with a faint golden light, the edges adorned with ice grains and glimmering azure arcs of electricity.

This attribute field of ice and thunder was automatically imbued when the Xuanyuan Sword was successfully refined, and upon Lin Mo's activation, it unfolded, causing the surrounding world to suddenly transform.

The left was swept by wild winds, ice grains whirling fiercely within, while the right gathered dark clouds, with azure Thunder Snakes dancing in the sky.

"Suppress!"

Lin Mo's hand motioned a spell.

The Xuanyuan Sword transformed into a dazzling azure light, sweeping across the firmament, suspended above the volcano crater, standing tall, the sword tip diffusing a circular airwave, suppressing the Spirit Vein.

Simultaneously, the eighteen Spirit Talismans surrounding the Spirit Vein nodes shot out thin golden threads, linked to the broad sword, forming a mysterious array with a faint gleam of gold.

"Now to start extracting the Spirit Vein, hoping for a successful outcome."

A glint of excitement shone in Lin Mo's eyes.

Radiant ice grains and azure arcs of lightning flickered at the edge of the Xuanyuan Sword while its tip expanded a circular shockwave, suppressing the Spirit Vein.

The eighteen hidden Spirit Vein nodes formed a mysterious Array Map, spreading over a kilometer radius, faintly radiating a layer of golden light.

"It's time to start extracting the Spirit Vein. Hopefully, I can succeed in one go!"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered with hidden excitement.

He held the Xuanyuan Sword, which, when activated, unfurled the ice and thunder attribute field, transforming the surrounding heaven and earth.

On further approach to the volcano, the atmosphere became blindingly hot, with pure and surging Fire Element saturating the air, creating a distorted ripple in the heat.
