With the yell, there were three streaks of golden lights that attacked the formation at the same point. But this time the damage was far greater than the previous. A large tear of more than four meters was instantly formed on the veil. And this time the healing of the array had completely stopped. Among the array nodes, there was a core node situated inside the supreme elder’s mansion, there were seven major nodes scattered throughout the clan and the remaining twenty-one were minor nodes.

The main operation of the mountain protecting array was done through the core node or the eye of formation, the major nodes played supporting roles in the operation and were placed in such a way that even if the eye of formation was broken, the array would hold on for an hour or two. As for the minor nodes, they were mainly of auxiliary functions. Although they acted as connecting circuits for the whole array, destroying a few of them would have made no great impact on the whole operation. It was nothing a quick fix could not do.

Although they would have to be re-engraved to make them run in the future, for the short term, missing one or two minor nodes would have made no impact whatsoever. Keshab had modified the array on his own terms and had added a lot of compound arrays so much that even a destroyed major node would only slow down the healing process of the veil. But now the healing of the torn space had completely stopped.

Previously when a major node was destroyed, the healing of the torn space had not completely stopped, it had only slowed down but now it had completely stopped. Keshab was confident because of the self-repairing function of the formation. If this function was destroyed, then it was only a matter of time before the array burst open from all those attacks. The expression on Keshab’s face changed from surprise to shock to anger.

When the voice from outside yelled ‘now’ there were some changes in the major node. He didn’t have to deliberately expand his divine sense’s range to find that two of the major nodes were destroyed at the same time. There were still Battle hall members guarding the nodes but most of them were still in the initial stage of the foundation building realm and the peak of the qi-sensing realm. Even if they were alert, someone with a cultivation level above the middle stage of the foundation building realm can easily slip past them and destroy it.

The good news was that only two major array nodes were destroyed. Although the healing of the torn veil had stopped, the whole formation had yet to be destroyed. It would still take some time and serious firepower to destroy the whole array. The owner of the voice was still hidden in the dark but just two words from him had caused a lot of change in the battle. If the voice was from the two clan members, Keshab would have recognized it. But the unknown voice and a cultivator who could command the two clans made Keshab a little bit cautious.

‘This man must have reached the golden core formation realm, otherwise, the two other clans would not have accepted his orders without so much hesitation. Although he had already wasted a few golden talismans to break the formation, he probably did so to save his spiritual energy. It was a waste to use a talisman instead of using the power of a cultivator, the man must be cautious and should be prepared for unexpected scenarios.’ Keshab thought, his face turned solemn.

The cultivators were attacking crazily. The formation was rippling and looked like it would break at any moment but even with the two major nodes destroyed, the situation was still on stalemate. There was crazed look on the cultivators outside and the clan members had a bored look on their faces. For the clan members, this was a rollercoaster of emotions. First, they were attacked on their home ground, then there was a tear on the formation, the tear healed, they got supplies for battle, then there was another tear, it also healed, and there was a battle of words, they won that and now there was a tear on the formation.

Although the tear showed no sign of healing and there were ripples everywhere, the outsiders were no closer to the clan grounds than when they had started. The clan members had decided they were going to die today so they had steeled their resolve but with the waiting, they started to get bored, the boiling blood began to slow down, and some of them were even yawning. They had previously arranged for the children of the clan to hide in the cellar or some secret places. Although the chances of surviving may not be high, there were still hundreds of children outside the clan with the fifth elder so with them those who died today will surely be avenged.

The Rijal clan members had heard about the history of their ancestors rising from mortals to the top cultivation family of Lunaris city. They started a clan with about a dozen members. And the clan members did not doubt that the children who had escaped would not avenge them for pettiness ran through their blood. If they sought revenge for small matters think what they will do for the clan. At this moment all the clan members were thinking the same thing. In the cultivation world, death was not that uncommon, there were hundreds of people dying in the Lunaris city every day.

So it was not hard for the clan members to accept death when it came to their doorstep. Seeing the cultivators in frenzy outside, Amrit could not help but wonder how many foundation building cultivators were there. Having died once and being on the battlefield of the illusion array for the past few weeks, Amrit had grown numb to the bloodshed.

It may have been the effect of his bloodline as there was a faint anticipation of battle and blood rising from within his deeper consciousness. He may not have realized yet but his eyes were turning a shade redder as the time passed. It was his rationality that kept him from going outside the array and start battling. Although he didn’t know why the array had stopped healing, he knew it must have been the mole. It was a pity the mole hadn’t been caught.

Even though Keshab had told him previously there was less than a ten percent chance of survival if a golden core formation realm cultivator intervened, he was not afraid a bit. This was the curse and blessing for those holding Asura bloodlines. They can never be away from war even if they had to die they would go with a bang.

And a ‘bang’ sound was heard once again.
