The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 433 Array Patterns Kill in the Wilderness
Li Feiyang leaped down, and from the abyss below, the fiery lotus rose into the sky and landed beside him. The two held hands facing each other, their faces ashen.

The situation has reached a dead end!

They had no way to rescue Lin Xiaosu from the outside; they could only watch helplessly as he was tricked onto that dead end by this group of scheming individuals...

"Sister, don't worry too much. Brother Su is no ordinary person. Perhaps... no, he will definitely be alright!"

Li Xueyi slowly raised her eyes: "If anything happens to him, I, Li Xueyi, swear to the heavens that I will not let any of you involved today go unpunished!"

Her voice rose straight up to the high platform, and the Night Demon's pupils contracted as he stared coldly at her.

Within the battle zone.

As Lin Xiaosu stepped inside, he once again experienced the desolation he felt when he first entered the forbidden zone of the Ancient Array Sect.

The high temperature outside was reduced by half upon entering the abyss.

After entering the array area, it was almost completely eliminated.

It's not hot here, it's actually cold.

It's not a coldness on the skin, but a chilling coldness that comes from the very bones.

This is a place where no one has ever been for ten thousand years. Because it is littered with bones, the aura of death is silent here, and the killing intent of the array still lingers.

Under his all-seeing eye, he saw the array patterns.

The remaining patterns of the array still hint at a deadly intent.

Strands, strands, completely irregular.

The Dao of Arrays is based on laws and principles. Every array pattern should be in its proper place. There is only one situation in which array patterns can be found everywhere and wander randomly: that is when a sufficiently advanced array has been destroyed.

The formation was sophisticated enough that, to put it bluntly, it possessed a soul or spirit.

After being destroyed, the array patterns will not disappear immediately, but will linger in the array for a long time.

This array pattern is the nightmare of all array practitioners.

Because there is no discernible pattern to them, trying to find them through the array is an almost impossible task.

Once you encounter them, no matter how high your cultivation level or how strong your defenses are, they will be useless and will kill you without hesitation.

This place, in fact, the entire Abyss, is a battleground.

However, the outer perimeter of the great formation has been shattered after ten thousand years of continuous destruction by the various races of the Bridge Realm.

The fragmented array patterns, carrying a murderous intent and even resentment that no one could comprehend, formed a perilous array path where nine out of ten would perish, devouring anyone who dared to intrude. The vengeful spirits accumulated year after year, for millions of years, making the array patterns even more unpredictable.

When masters of array formations enter ancient, incomplete arrays, they all use the same method: with their extraordinary senses and various profound array techniques, they probe the approaching array patterns, determine the route, observe any subtle changes, and proceed cautiously step by step.

Therefore, you can't walk fast here.

That's why, even after tens of thousands of years, they could only carve out a safe passage of a few dozen miles within the battle zone.

In recent years, there have been breakthroughs in the art of array formations. The Night Clan discovered a strange spring called the "Spring of Seeing One's Nature," which means "to see one's true nature." Array masters who drink from this spring experience a tenfold increase in their sensitivity to array formations, which significantly accelerates their progress.

Lin Xiaosu was tricked by that night ghost and stepped into the extremely dangerous new path of the broken formation. Theoretically, he was 99% sure to die, but this rule had already been overturned in his eyes.

Because of his Heavenly Eye of Wisdom, he can observe array patterns.

The dangerous array patterns, completely invisible to others and imperceptible even at close range, were crystal clear to him.

His figure moved erratically, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, stopping and starting as he went. In a short while, he had already traveled thirty miles away.

Beneath his feet lay a landscape of white bones, which crumbled to dust at the slightest touch. Clearly, these bones were not from the last ten thousand years, but from an even more distant past.

Suddenly, a strange sight appeared before him.

A tree branch, pointing diagonally towards the sky.

This branch is unusually large, resembling a solitary island in a vast ocean.

Each leaf is a platform.

Each tender branch is a hillside.

On the platform, seventeen people sat, some deep in thought, some exploring with bronze array pens, some consulting classics, some fiddling with array plates, and some drinking "Seeing Nature Spring" to enhance their sensitivity.

They were surrounded by array patterns, densely packed and chaotic.

Beneath this platform, there are forty or fifty people, also exploring, moving forward, and adventuring...

The seventeen people above are the seventeen top-tier fourth-realm array masters of Youyuan.

The forty or fifty people below are the next-tier, third-realm array masters.

There is another group of array masters who are still positioned between the external platform and this branch. They each have their own roles, some are responsible for exploration, and others are responsible for guarding the passage.

Lin Xiaosu came from the north, immediately alerting the people in the tree.

Yin Xuan, perched in the tree, raised his gaze, the array plate in his hand suddenly trembled, and his eyes widened sharply as he stared at Lin Xiaosu, who was approaching step by step, as if he had seen a ghost.

In the wilderness beside Yin Xuan, the bronze pen in his hand trembled, and with a soft hiss, the tip of the pen was cut off by an invisible array pattern. He didn't seem to care, his fierce eyes, like those of a wild beast, were firmly fixed on Lin Xiaosu.

"In just two hours, you've opened up a new road? And traversed a treacherous forty-mile-long defensive zone?" Yin Xuan's voice seemed to come from the deepest part of hell.

The moment that sound came out, everyone in the top circle was startled.

All eyes were on the north.

A category 10 tornado swept through everyone's hearts.

Lin Xiaosu entered the formation area two hours ago.

The path he chose—no, the path the Night Demon chose for him—was a new path.

How perilous is the road to the position area?
The road they walked was traversed by countless generations of people in the Bridge Realm over tens of thousands of years. At least three thousand array masters died on that forty-mile-long road.

In other words, the remains of three thousand people, the work of hundreds of races over ten thousand years, were easily trampled by a twenty-year-old boy in just two hours.

is it possible?

Is there even the slightest possibility?

At the same time, all the array masters felt a sense of existential crisis. Yin Xuan's voice rang out: "Perhaps there's only one possibility: he possesses some supreme treasure of array techniques!"

A cave-clan array master next to Yin Xuan trembled slightly.

He sighed inwardly, "The Yin Clan are truly cunning! With those words, this kid has instantly become the target of everyone's hatred! His life is definitely not going to be spared."

It was simply because he touched the most sensitive chord in the hearts of all array masters.

Who would be willing to give up such a treasured artifact of the array formation system?
This kid brought a treasure of array formations to these seventeen people, which was like bringing his beloved wife and stepping into the bandits' lair.

A truly shrewd person, even if they see that he possesses a treasured artifact related to array formations, and even if they want to steal it, will not reveal it.

Only the Yin Clan members dared to say it.

He simply wanted to see everyone fight each other for this piece of fat meat, resulting in bloodshed and corpses strewn everywhere.

This is the Yin of the Yin Clan.

They are cunning when it comes to things that benefit themselves, and they are equally cunning when it comes to things that don't benefit them, as long as they can harm others.

This is a characteristic ingrained in their very being.

Lin Xiaosu walked step by step amidst the wolf-like gazes of the crowd.

When he stepped onto this "tree branch", it felt like he had landed on a large island.

Amidst the envious or bewildered gazes of the level-three array masters, he climbed step by step to the top layer of the circle.

As his figure disappeared, the level-three array masters below looked at each other in bewilderment, collectively questioning their existence.

Is it really that easy to get into the top circles?
Why can't they ever get ahead?

Why are several corpses thrown into the abyss below every month?
Lin Xiaosu climbed the ranks step by step, leaving the high-class circle and entering the top tier.

Before him was a small, semi-circular platform, its color a vibrant green, shaped like a lotus leaf. In the center of the platform, the Wilderness Clan array master, Huangye, raised his eyes and stared coldly at him: "Boy, what array treasures are you carrying?"

The entire room fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on Lin Xiaosu's face.

Including Li Qing, who was standing on a lotus leaf platform at the highest point.

Up close, Li Qing looks even more like a fairy.

"How is it?" Lin Xiaosu took a step closer, and everyone's heart skipped a beat. They knew very well that there was an array pattern in front of this kid. Huangye, the array master of the Desolate Clan, had his hand severed once under this extremely hidden array pattern. If he got any closer, he would die.

No one reminded him.

not a single one!

"Hand it over!" Wilderness said in a deep voice.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I have a piece of advice for you!"

Wilderness raised her eyes and stared at him coldly: "Tell me about it."

"The Wild Clan has been wiped out. You are now a homeless, helpless stray dog. Be less arrogant, lower your head and behave yourself, and you can live a few more years!"

The fire in the eyes of the wilderness suddenly ignited!
For a member of the Wilderness Clan, the greatest pain is the destruction of the Wilderness Clan.

Anyone who dares to reopen this wound in his presence will be killed by him.

Not to mention Lin Xiaosu, who has ties with the clan's mortal enemy.

"You're asking for death!" Huang Ye stood up, his claws extending more than three feet, reaching down at Lin Xiaosu from above.

He had been sitting on this platform for several years, so he knew exactly where the array patterns were. Therefore, his grab just happened to avoid the array patterns.

However, what he could never have imagined was...

Just as his body grew longer, with a soft hiss, his head vanished.

A trail of blood in the air, like a cloud in the sky, drifted away leisurely...

"Free-floating array patterns!" Li Qing's expression changed.

As masters of array formations, they are not afraid of array patterns in fixed positions, but they are afraid of array patterns that are adrift.

Ninety-nine percent of the array patterns are fixed. As long as you are careful and have a more detailed sense, you can avoid these array patterns. If you stay on this "tree branch" for a long time, they will know where the array patterns are.

However, the elusive array patterns are unfathomable to anyone.

It is the most dangerous.

This wilderness was incredibly unlucky; he just happened to stumble upon it.

His head was chopped off, and he died a violent death.

Lin Xiaosu sighed, "I already reminded him to lower his head! This stubborn brat just wouldn't listen and insisted on looking up. Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

With one step, the corpses in the wilderness were swept off the platform and fell into the abyss below.

Yin Xuan's eyes flashed: "You're reminding him to keep his head down, are you telling him not to stand up?"

“Yes, what else?” Lin Xiaosu said.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

The phrase "remind someone to keep their head down" can actually mean literally, "keep your head down and don't get up."

But, that’s not right…

Yin Xuan asked, "Did you know that there's a free-floating array pattern on the top of his head?"

"Yes!"

Everyone was astonished: "How did you know?"

The voice came from the highest point, from Liqing.

"Senior Li, I am deeply grateful for your help!" Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply. "Since you asked, I would not dare to lie to you. I am a natural array eye and can see the array patterns."
