CHAPTER 491: 490

Ye Tian’s fist was gradually losing power, the strength in his fist was dissipating, then it spread to his entire arm, increasing the feeling of weakness. However, Ye Tian didn’t retreat at all, he still stood firm, his face even more stern, coldly observing the spider web that was gradually shrinking.

Indeed, it’s aptly named the Human-Devouring Technique, actually able to extract strength from a person’s body and claim it as its own, such domineering power.

The cold wind howled, in the gradually darkening Nightlife, this gust of cold wind coupled with Hass’s advantage in timing and location, seemed to also draw strength from this array, and this wind was even bizarrely seeping from underground. Winds from the Underworld, such an eerie arrival.

Ye Tian’s fist transformed into a palm, leveraging a strike on the light barrier, causing the spider web to start cracking again.

"It’s not showing weakness, it’s just creating more space to accumulate more power. Quickly retract your power, or it will be drained!"

The Esoteric Master, who was supporting the Barrier, loudly warned. This Barrier was also an extremely physically draining Cultivation Technique, if this continued, not only Ye Tian would be drained dry, but the Esoteric Master himself would also be exhausted by the Barrier he set up.

"I, however, want to fight against this array!"

Ye Tian put forth more strength in his hand on the light barrier, simultaneously roaring into the sky, "At the Buddha Bead Conference, seven days from now, I, Ye Tian, will definitely participate to meet the heroes of the world!"

The spider web began to slowly heal again, the spot that was slightly larger just now looked like it would return to normal soon, the elderly Master saw Ye Tian’s figure sway slightly, although he immediately steadied himself, but it wasn’t a good sign, Ye Tian’s body was nearly reaching its limit.

Not just Ye Tian, the Esoteric Master had previously suffered a little trick attack from a Bodhi in the courtyard of Nushen Tower, though it wasn’t a severe injury, the impact on the body wasn’t something that could recover in a short time. A small scrimmage usually wouldn’t be affected, but in this highly energy-consuming Barrier, this small impact was enough to magnify into a fatal injury.

The speed at which the spider web returned to normal accelerated, completely beyond Ye Tian’s expectations. Even though he persisted, within his plans, he also considered finding the opponent’s weaknesses—just giving up, in his heart, he always had a feeling that there must be a void in the array, the so-called Array Eye. Once found, it would completely collapse. Moreover, he had already broken into the central area, so he must have the ability to find it... wait!

Ye Tian suddenly thought of something, but then couldn’t remember it for a moment. He closed his eyes quickly reminding himself not to rush, thinking about the points he thought of earlier, exactly what triggered this idea. Right! The central area! Jenny lying in the central area, naturally wanting to lure him over.

Understood! This array is actually not sophisticated and is even quite rudimentary, but it cleverly exploits a common mindset of all people, benevolence!

As long as control is taken over the enemy’s weakest link, the enemy will recklessly charge in, even if it means death. The deeper they go, the more dangerous it gets. Strength against strength, the mightier you are, the faster you die here!

Periphery! The Array Eye is in the periphery!

Ye Tian suddenly realized and at that moment, the Human-Devouring Technique, as if understanding Ye Tian’s thoughts, surged with an even stronger pulling force. This onslaught was extremely fierce, the force piercing through the skin, drilling directly into the blood vessels, and raging through the body along with the flow of blood, crazily absorbing everything it touched like a greedy woodworm, tearing and devouring everything in its path.

A tearing sensation spread from his arm, and Ye Tian started to panic.

The Master was just about to warn Ye Tian, but was startled by the crimson red eyes he had when he turned his head.

"The Array Eye is in the periphery, you search for it first."

While saying this, Ye Tian struggled, his voice hoarse. It was unavoidably strenuous; he was sure that if he lowered his arm now, he wouldn’t be able to lift it again.

Turning back, facing the light barrier, Ye Tian’s face was ferocious, even the smile on his face somewhat horrifying, "Don’t think you’re so impressive, attempting to fool me with these petty tricks, I’d have grown up in vain. You’re not dumb, but just too underestimating. Such little tricks might work against people from other countries, but we from Huaxia are descendants of the ’Thirty-Six Stratagems’. I’m so tired of these tactics like luring the enemy in deep, even our Chairman has spoken about focusing on the main contradictions. I stepped into this trap just to give you face, and now it’s time you return the favor."

Before he could finish, Ye Tian’s palm had already turned into a finger, Panchen Finger, gently pressing onto the barrier. From fist to palm, and then from palm to Panchen Finger, these technique transformations are also a transformation of his Inner Strength, turning defense into attack, this is the path of Ye Tian.

A cold smirk appeared on his lips, warmth bursting from his heart surged instantly through his blood vessels, all the hovering Spiritual Energy gathered into his arm. As the two forces, trapped in the narrow pathways of his veins, met, the stronger was immediately determined. An influx of Spiritual Power dispersed the devouring force of the Human-Devouring Technique, even pushing it out of his body, leveraging the Nine Emperor Bell on his wrist to amplify the force, a current of Clear Wind Gang Qi smashed the opposing light barrier into a mass of cracks, shattered like a spiderweb. Though the barrier wasn’t utterly destroyed, looking at the cracked light shield, Ye Tian felt quite satisfied. At this moment, the Esoteric Master also discovered the Array Eye positioned on the periphery, inscribed with Sanskrit characters at the northeast corner.

In this array, the Sanskrit characters composed of eight lines, divided among eight directions, four major and four minor. But there was something off about the Sanskrit in one direction; the Esoteric Master didn’t notice at first, but after a few more glances, she realized the discrepancy.

Sanskrit is a major academic subject worldwide; globally, fewer than ten people are proficient in Sanskrit, including well-known figures like Mr. Ji Xianlin and Nan Huaijin, with the rest being elderly monks and unknown masters, with eight or nine out of ten being reclusive masters from ancient temples in India. Thus, the inherent complexity of Sanskrit and its narrow dissemination have contributed to its decline.
