As Zhao Hai’s voice faded, a colossal palm manifested above him. This massive hand no longer resembled a ghostly claw but appeared more like a human hand. Bizarrely, the palm was covered in rotating runes and magic circles. Though the hand remained pitch black, it was adorned with countless blood-red magic circles and symbols, giving it an eerie and mysterious aura.
Fang Chengyu sneered at Zhao Hai, remarking, "I never expected someone from the Blood Massacre Sect to be familiar with the historical records of the Fang clan. Hahaha, but what of it? Today, I will demonstrate the true power of our Fang clan’s Carefree Carpet. Watch closely, attack!" Following his shout, he gestured toward the Carefree Carpet. The artifact instantly expanded into a massive rug over ten meters long before rolling itself into a thick, heavy pole. This makeshift staff was then swung violently toward Zhao Hai.
With a simple wave of his hand, Zhao Hai sent his giant palm crashing toward the incoming staff. A loud boom echoed as the palm and the staff collided, sending the staff tumbling back. The palm returned to hover in front of Zhao Hai, who smiled at Fang Chengyu and said, "Your attack is just average. There’s nothing to be proud of."
Fang Chengyu’s expression darkened at Zhao Hai’s dismissal. He let out a cold snort, "Kid, since you’re looking for death, I’ll fulfill your wish. Take this!" He pointed at the carpet once more, causing it to unfurl instantly. It began to spin rapidly as it flew toward Zhao Hai, its edges glowing with a golden array pattern. The formation appeared incredibly sharp, shimmering with a cold, metallic light that suggested it could slice through anything.
Zhao Hai snorted while watching the approaching carpet. He gestured again, causing the giant palm to curl into a fist. As he punched forward, a complex, man-shaped magic formation glowing with golden light appeared on the surface of the fist. The fist slammed directly into the spinning carpet.
A massive explosion followed as the carpet was knocked back again. Although the golden magic formation on the fist shattered, the fist itself remained intact and flew back to Zhao Hai’s side. Zhao Hai stared coldly at Fang Chengyu, remaining silent.
Even without words, Zhao Hai’s gaze was more piercing than any insult. Fang Chengyu could read the disdain in Zhao Hai’s eyes, which fueled his rage while simultaneously sparking a sense of dread. He knew that while he hadn't used his full power, he had exerted 60% on the first strike and 80% on the second. Despite this, Zhao Hai had blocked both with ease. Fang Chengyu, a Refinement Realm cultivator, was stunned that Zhao Hai could possess such strength while only being in the Profound Cultivation Realm.
Zhao Hai sneered at Fang Chengyu, asking, "What, is this all you’ve got? With such strength, you dare to come to my Blood Massacre Sect and act so atrociously? I think you’re tired of living!" Zhao Hai then waved his hand and shouted, "Soldiers!" He rapidly formed the Great Vajra Wheel Seal with his fingers. His massive palm transformed into a fist once more and lunged toward Fang Chengyu.
This time, four rotating magic formations appeared on the edges of the fist, adding to its mystery. Fang Chengyu’s face paled slightly at the sight. Snorting coldly, he manipulated the carpet to act as a shield in front of him. Simultaneously, the patterns on the carpet ignited, revealing a complex array group. This spinning cluster of formations looked even more intricate and profound than the fist itself.
BOOM! The fist struck the carpet, which trembled slightly but held its ground. Having missed its mark, the fist returned to hover over Zhao Hai’s head. Zhao Hai studied the carpet with genuine interest. After a moment, he remarked, "Not bad, you’ve actually created an array group. Furthermore, there are quite a number of arrays in this array group. It seems that your Fang clan has put in quite a bit of effort in this. However, it’s a pity that you haven’t learned the true essence of the Spiritual Array Sect. No wonder your Fang clan is still a clan and not a sect."
Zhao Hai pointed upward and commanded, "Transform!" At his word, the giant palm twisted in the air, reshaping itself into a tall, black figure. Except for its two glowing blood-red eyes, the figure was entirely dark, though its body was covered in rotating red magic arrays that gave it a chilling appearance.
The tall figure let out a roar toward the heavens before pouncing on Fang Chengyu. Seeing the figure and its strange arrays, Fang Chengyu’s expression shifted. He waved his hand, using the carpet as a shield again. The arrays on the carpet shifted in a unique way; while the components remained the same, their order changed, creating an entirely new magic formation. From this new formation, a brilliant sword light erupted, condensing into a massive blade in mid-air that slashed toward the incoming black giant.
The sword was immense, matching the ten-meter height of the giant. As the blade cut through the air, the temperature plummeted, revealing that the strike carried elemental attributes. The giant raised its left forearm to block the blow, manifesting a complex, spinning magic array that functioned like a shield.
The sword collided with the array with a thunderous bang before vanishing. The onlookers were stunned to see that while the sword was gone, half of the giant’s body had been sheared away. However, the giant did not dissipate. It roared, and everyone watched in shock as its body began to slowly regenerate.
Fang Chengyu was visibly unsettled by the giant’s ability to recover. He didn't hesitate, shouting as the array on the carpet split into two. Two sword lights—one blue and one red—shot out, forming elemental blades that slashed at the giant.
The giant roared again, punching at the two elemental strikes. With a loud explosion, the sword lights vanished. Though the giant’s arms were destroyed in the process, they grew back almost instantly as it continued its charge toward Fang Chengyu.
Fang Chengyu’s composure finally broke. He hadn't expected the giant to be so resilient, regenerating its array-based body as if it were immortal. He moved quickly, rearranging the array group on the carpet once more. A massive formation took shape, unleashing a spiraling storm of countless sword lights. The giant was swallowed by the storm and completely obliterated.
With the giant gone, Fang Chengyu turned his cold gaze toward Zhao Hai. "Kid, it’s your turn next." He gestured, preparing to launch that same sword light storm against Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai simply smiled. "Interesting, this is really interesting. Your approach to developing arrays is entirely different from mine. I categorize arrays into fixed groups with specific functions, but you change the group itself. Your array group allows for many combinations where auxiliary arrays support a shifting lead array. Depending on which array takes the lead, the entire function changes. It seems your array can defend, transform, and release ice giants, dual elemental swords, or a sword storm. There are likely other variations I haven't seen. You’ve achieved with one group what usually requires several. Amazing, truly amazing. Hahaha! As expected, the world is full of geniuses with unique ideas. When pushed to the limit, these ideas become a unique path of Cultivation. This is truly great." Zhao Hai laughed heartily, appearing completely at ease.
Fang Chengyu was shocked that Zhao Hai had deciphered the secret of the Fang clan’s equipment so quickly. For generations, no one had understood the mechanics behind their ever-changing weapons. They only knew the equipment was versatile, never how it functioned. Zhao Hai’s insight was terrifying.
Watching Fang Chengyu’s reaction, Zhao Hai smiled and added, "I have the interest to see some of the Spiritual Array Sect’s techniques and know what they are like. As for your Fang clan’s techniques, they are derived from the Spiritual Array Sect’s techniques. From the magical equipment you use, it is not difficult to guess that your Fang clan’s techniques are similar to the magical equipment you use. There are many variations. This is really exciting. I must take a look at your Fang clan’s techniques."
