COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD - Season 3 Episode 39

As for the rest of the disciples, they dispersed on the stone square and started talking in hushed tones with each other.

To avoid getting discovered, Austin too, found a place with only a few people around. He closed his eyes, sat on the floor and calmed his mind.

Since this stance of Austin’s was the same as the Mysterious Realm masters at present, no one suspected a thing. They thought of him simply a poser.

Plus, the disciple who he had disguised to be was hardly much noticed or even spoken to when he was in the Medicine Sect.

Because of his awful alchemy skills and weak vital energy cultivation base, not many of the cultivators were happy to even notice him.

When a whole day had passed, a cry of surprise broke the silence. It was Master Yuan!

“All right. I have figured out an elegant solution to this array.”

In a trice, the three masters of the Medicine Sect and the two diabolic beasts stood next to Master Yuan by using their extraordinary powers.

“Master Yuan, you have figured out a method?”

the Chief Elder asked, finding it hard to hide awe in his voice.

“Yes. The six stone pillars are the six gates of this array. We can attack the six gates at the same time. This means that it should be cracked in half a day then.

Also, the power of this array is different at different times. At both noon and midnight the heavens and the earth or the moon and the sun come together into a transition, which is when the defending power of the array is at its weakest. We should choose either one—noon or midnight to start our attack. I must tell you, Chief Elder. We should begin soon for there is a great chance of success!”

Master Yuan exuding a firm faith in the plan elevated everyone’s spirits! He was just a level three array expert. It was a great opportunity for him to enhance his cultivation base by cracking a level five array and further studying it.

“Humph! I’m disappointed. You are just a level three array expert. In other words, you don’t know how to crack the level five array at all.

You think we should just attack this six stone pillars so that we can break up the defense of this cave. That’s it?

In the last six months, Mr. Bull and I have tried many times to attack these pillars all through the day without pausing for a single moment, which by logic, includes noon and midnight. Well, here we are and nothing has worked.

And now you are boasting of your skills and talking nonsense in front of us. You humans are all such vain creatures!”

The Purple Flaming Lion King was furious and agitated for being told such a nonsensical plan! His scarlet pupils dilated threateningly at Master Yuan. The disappointment in his eyes was there for all to see.

“Don’t worry, Lion King. I haven’t finished my words. Why not make your decision after hearing all of what I have to say?” Master Yuan said with unwavering confidence.

The Purple Flaming Lion King snorted with disdain and waited in silence.

“The six stone pillars link up as a chain to form a ring. They stand complementing each other. They must be attacked by six people with a strong vital energy cultivation base at the same time, and the defending power of these pillars should also weaken at the same time.

Also, the attack must be started from six different angles.

It will make no difference if we only attack one of them instead of all the six stone pillars together synchronized, because the force of counterattack of the array gets triggered easily.”

Master Yuan explained calmly.

“Oh, I see. No wonder I was bruised by a vehement force that knocked me down during my many attacks at these pillars.

Array Master of the humankind, I have overstated my point.”

Every word Master Yuan said had hit the bull’s eye. For now the Purple Flaming Lion King saw the reasoning behind his suggestion and his own mistakes in cracking the array. So he apologized to Master Yuan, shocking all present.

“Never mind. There is only an hour left before noon. Now please allow me to explain the method to everyone in detail.”

After his lengthy explanation, a specific arrangement for the attack was created.
The five Mysterious Realm masters, the two Elders and the Steward Meng of the Medicine Sect and the two diabolical beasts were appointed in-charge for one stone pillar each. And the rest—all the Medicine Sect disciples, stayed together and prepared to attack the last one together.

Time ticked by and then the sun was directly above them, making it noon.

According to the arrangement by Master Yuan, everyone on the square started attacking the six stone pillars exactly at the same time.

Soon enough, the sky began to deeply rumble into a loud, deafening noise.

The vital energy force fluctuations were now rampant. It was like a wave that started to spread, arresting its surroundings in its enormous momentum.

The chief elder’s weapon, the tulwar was whirring at top speed. Its wind blades were sweeping out to create a tornado and hit the stone pillar with full force.

The pink flame in the hands of the Elder Guan turned into seven revolving red lotus flowers that intensely attacked the pillar in front.

The Steward Meng was controlling a huge herbal pot, which floated in the air above him. It backed up a bit to harness all the force and then with searing energy hit the stone pillar furiously.

The Purple Flaming Lion King’s gigantic purple water balloons were carriers of stinging powers that would make any object crumble in a moment. He sent out an army of these pummeling the pillar with extreme impact.

On top of the three-eyed scarlet bull, a pair of huge ghastly bloody horns emerged. They were said to carry the potency of the entire realm of the blood sea and corpse hill. With immense pressure, they started to bombard the stone pillar.

The attack of the five Mysterious Realm masters was a sight to behold. The ferocity of the attack mesmerized the Energy Gathering Realm and Earth Realm cultivators present for they had never seen a spectacle of this magnitude.

Blending in with the disciples of the Medicine Sect, Austin too attacked the sixth pillar. Of course, he was only using the vital energy of a level six or level seven energy gathering realm cultivator in order to avoid discovery.

The constant unceasing attack stirred the six stone pillars into thunderous sounds. The whole stone square too shook violently.

Several hours later, the six gigantic pillars growled and shook with enormous tremors. Even those who knew nothing about the arrays, started to sense that the array was about to crack.

Encouraged by this positive development, everyone involved in the attack doubled up their efforts.
