Chapter 96

Even deep within the mountain, Lin Feng and the others could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from outside.

Kang Nanhua, now fully recovered from his injuries, stood tall on the golden sand dune. His expression was solemn as he muttered to himself, "The key to the problem is who will give out first."

His hands continuously changed the magical seals, and the golden sand dune beneath him began to sway gently. Countless grains of golden sand floated into the air, forming a vast cloud of dust that drifted past Lin Feng, Yue Hongyan, and the others, heading out of the pit.

The golden sand flew out of the solitary mountain and landed on the sandy ground at its base, merging with the gray-white sand, sparkling with points of gold.

Witnessing this, Lin Feng realized, "This golden sand has all been refined by Kang Nanhua using his magical power. It is powerful, but the quantity is limited, so he has released it all to activate the ordinary sand outside."

"It's like training a large number of officers and now sending them to the basic units to train new recruits."

The evil beings outside the solitary mountain also saw this and sneered, "Has a large-scale magical array been set up here as well?" With that, he pointed his long sword remotely.

The massive sword tip at the center of the swirling black clouds in the sky shot out with a piercing whistle, plunging toward the solitary mountain like an apocalyptic disaster.

Lin Feng's heart tightened. This evil being was also a combat expert with extremely rich experience in magical duels. He launched an attack before Kang Nanhua's array was fully set up.

However, Kang Nanhua was not anxious. His array had been set up long ago; he was just activating it now.

His hands changed the magical seals again, and the flowing water merged with the golden sand, transforming into a dark yellow stream that flew out of the solitary mountain and integrated into the vast marsh of the ancient domain.

"Boom!" Like a flood breaking through a dam, the marsh at the edge of the solitary mountain's sandy ground erupted, connecting with the golden sand scattered on the ground, forming a mudslide that rushed toward the solitary mountain.

The Ganges River Sand Array!

The holy water of the Ganges River flows ceaselessly, nurturing all things in tranquility and submerging the world in its roar.

Kang Nanhua sighed inwardly, "My secret sand technique is just a fragment of the ancient Ganges River Sand Spell. This Ganges River Sand Array can only exert the power of the first level, 'Sand Transformation.' If I could fully unleash the array's divine transformations, I could break through the current Divine Martial Extermination Array."

The surging mud transformed into a towering wave, surging upward.

"Rumble!"

At the same time, the solitary mountain standing on the sandy ground, accompanied by continuous rumbling, was sinking into the ground.

The black and yellow mud and sand, which had been suspended in the air, formed a huge loop in mid-air, flowing continuously, enveloping the solitary mountain, which was gradually sinking underground, leaving only a small hilltop.

The river of time flows ceaselessly, unstoppable and irreversible.

Kang Nanhua's Ganges River Sand Array revealed a resolute and unwavering power.

The pitch-black giant sword descending from the black clouds struck the dark yellow water of the Ganges River, being blocked by the mud and sand, unable to advance.

The flowing mud and sand continuously eroded the malevolent power contained within the black giant sword.

With the attack blocked, the evil being in front of the Divine Martial Extermination Array smiled, "Passive defense can never lead to victory. In this battle, you have lost!"

He roared, and the momentum of the Divine Martial Extermination Array increased further. The magical power of the three thousand cultivators converged, forming a massive black smoke column visible to the naked eye, rising straight to the heavens, continuously pouring into the black clouds.

The pitch-black giant sword extending from the black clouds became even more profound and condensed. The overwhelming killing intent seemed to have diminished, but it was even more terrifying because this killing intent was deeper and more restrained. Once it erupted, it would be even more violent and cruel.

Kang Nanhua, who was controlling the Ganges River Sand Array, was the first to notice the change. The descent of the black giant sword had been halted, but at this moment, the power suddenly increased, showing a trend of gradually breaking through the Ganges River Sand Array.

Although the speed was extremely slow, almost imperceptible, the black giant sword began to descend again.

Bit by bit, step by step, it seemed to be moving with great difficulty, but it carried an unstoppable momentum. No matter how Kang Nanhua activated the Ganges River Sand Array, he could not stop the descent of the black giant sword.

Kang Nanhua's expression was extremely grave. Although the Ganges River Sand was continuously eroding the black giant sword, the speed was so slow that it was almost negligible. For the current crisis, it was like a drop in the bucket.

Although Lin Feng inside the mountain could not see the outside, he knew from Kang Nanhua's expression that the situation was not good.

The Ganges River Sand Array, which borrowed the power of heaven and earth from the ancient domain, should have been invincible. However, Kang Nanhua's array was incomplete, and the Divine Martial Extermination Array was too overwhelming.

The combined power of the three thousand cultivators, poured into the evil being, made his reverse heaven's ultimate sword attack extremely powerful, showing a trend of breaking through the Ganges River Sand Array.

Human power has its limits, while the power of heaven and earth is boundless. If the battle dragged on, Kang Nanhua would eventually win.

However, if the three thousand cultivators burst with all their power at once, they might break through the Ganges River Sand Array before exhausting their strength.

Lin Feng now understood why Kang Nanhua had said that the key to the problem was who would give out first.

If the Ganges River Sand Array gave out first and was broken, everything would be over. If the Ganges River Sand Array held, it would first exhaust the power of the three thousand Divine Martial Army cultivators, making them easy prey for the Ganges River Sand Array.

Lin Feng frowned, thinking, "But from the current situation, it's clear that Kang Nanhua will give out first."

"What should I do?" Lin Feng's mind raced.

The intense killing intent of the black giant sword was almost uncontrollable, and boundless sword qi erupted, cutting through the mountain like an invincible wind from the heavens, continuously slicing the mountain.

The hard rock of the mountain, in the face of the sword qi, was as fragile as tofu, forming cracks.

Inside the mountain, the ground shook, and rocks continuously fell. Large boulders crushed the houses in the village, turning them into ruins.

Kang Nanhua's face, which had regained its rosy glow, turned pale again.

"Host's disciple Zhu Yi obtained the Thunder Essence Seal. Host successfully completed the Wind and Thunder Essence Seal random side quest, rewarded with one lottery chance!"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure, thinking, "Good job, you guys!"

However, the reward for completing this side quest was not a fixed number of exchange points but a lottery chance.

"Murky Wave Spell, Murky Wave Spell..." Lin Feng silently recited the spell he was short of, entering the lottery system.

Roulette system... No!

Dice system... Still no!

"..." Lin Feng felt a lump in his chest, almost cursing out loud.

The attack of the Divine Martial Extermination Array became more intense. Even deep within the mountain, Lin Feng could feel the violent shaking. The Ganges River Sand Array was about to give out.

Kang Nanhua tightly pursed his lips, saying nothing, just fully supporting the array.

Despair flashed in Yue Hongyan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination and resilience.

Lin Feng's palms were sweating, and he thought quickly, "What should I do now? What should I do? ... Wait!"

He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Kang Nanhua, "Absolutely can't get this wrong!"

This secret sand technique of Kang Nanhua should also meet the standard of "marsh," right?

It would normally be very difficult to obtain the spell of a Golden Core cultivator, but the current crisis provided Lin Feng with an opportunity.

Danger and opportunity always coexist.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, straightened his appearance, and calmly asked, "Kang Daoist, the spell you practice seems to be incomplete?"

Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Lin Feng's sudden interruption made everyone feel awkward, and Yue Hongyan, in particular, glared at him angrily.

The more critical the moment, the calmer Lin Feng became. He remained composed, not looking at the angry Yue Hongyan and others, but only at Kang Nanhua.

Kang Nanhua nodded while controlling the array.

Lin Feng said, "I seem to have seen the complete version of this secret sand technique somewhere, but I'm not sure. Could you lend me your spell to compare and reference?"
