Unfortunately, he wasn't a formation master, and even if he figured out the problem, he couldn't find the formation's core in a short time.
Yunyin sighed helplessly at this.
"Since that's the case, we can only break this deadlock by force. Fortunately, I didn't use too much spiritual energy beforehand. As long as I can unleash the limit that this clone can withstand at the right moment, that should be enough to break the deadlock..."
Yun Yin took a deep breath, silently calculating in his mind. He couldn't act rashly; he had to find the perfect opportunity.
Therefore, he pretended to be outmatched, retreating step by step, deliberately revealing a weakness, which led to his clones pressing closer and closer.
As the clone launched another attack, a resolute glint flashed in Yunyin's eyes the instant the attack style shifted.
He whirled around, and the void behind him twisted, revealing a corner of the Primordial Tree. The tree's branches were thick and vigorous, its surface covered with the mottled marks of time.
In an instant, the Primordial Ancient Tree erupted with a chilling aura, and a beam of light formed from the pure power of the ancient tree surged out from one of its exposed corners.
Wherever the beam of light passed, space seemed to be sliced by a sharp blade, leaving countless tiny cracks, and the surrounding air was also sucked out, forming a brief vacuum zone.
The clone, which had been confidently pursuing its prey, never expected Yunyin to launch such a powerful attack. The clone's body was struck by the all-annihilating beam of light.
Fine cracks began to appear on its body surface, like a fine piece of porcelain being struck by a heavy hammer. Then, the cracks spread rapidly, and the entire clone's body, like shattered glass, vanished into countless points of light with a "bang."
As the clone shattered, the spirit array surrounding Yunyin also underwent significant changes.
The originally flickering, orderly halo of light began to become disordered, and the flow of the spiritual seal became no longer smooth, as if it had fallen into a chaotic vortex.
Looking ahead, which was gradually becoming clearer, Yun Yin breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, he flashed and flew straight in. However, the moment he stepped into the inner formation, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
The scene before him did not break out of the formation as he had expected, but rather seemed to lead him into another space within the formation. He was now high in the sky, but as he peered upwards, his pupils suddenly contracted.
High above, the Taiyi Tianyan Dharma Image stood indifferently looking down. Its eyes were like the moon, and countless spiritual seals floated around its body.
What shocked Yunyin the most was that a Primordial Ancient Tree, exactly the same as the one he had a soul contract with, was floating above Faxiang's head!
The phantom of the Primordial Tree emitted a hazy light, and every leaf and branch was remarkably similar to the Primordial Tree in Yunyin's heart.
Yun Yin could clearly sense the familiar fluctuations contained within the illusion of the ancient tree, as if they were a part of his soul that had been peeled away.
"This... how is this possible? I've never heard of a spirit array that can achieve this!"
Unfortunately, although the Three Lives Creation Array is a Grandmaster-level spiritual array, Murong Liyue could not unleash any of its true power. Moreover, it was not her who was in charge, but her Dharma form that was maintaining it.
As the Primordial Tree coalesced, the spiritual seals surrounding the Taiyi Heavenly Evolution Dharma Image, located at the core of the array, were being rapidly depleted. This depletion of spiritual seals, like peeling away layers of an onion, was gradually eroding the foundation of the spiritual array. The once stable space within the spiritual array began to tremble slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment.
At the same time, the clones in front of everyone inside the formation shattered into specks of light. Yan Lie only felt a blur before his eyes, and the fiery clone that had been locked in a fierce battle with him instantly dissipated, and the surrounding space suddenly opened up. Before he could think further, his vision broadened, and he found himself inside the spirit array space where Yun Yin was.
Mu Qianran, Bai Yunxin, Xiao Chen, and the others encountered the same situation. The clones in front of them shattered one after another, and they were then 'forced' to arrive in the boundless sky.
In the blink of an eye, everyone arrived at Yun Yin's location. As soon as they appeared, they were speechless with astonishment at the sight before them. The Primordial Ancient Tree floating above the head of the Taiyi Tianyan Dharma Image, like the Primordial Ancient Tree behind Yun Yin, both exuded the aura of the beginning of heaven and earth.
However, the ancient tree above the Taiyi Tianyan Dharma Image was far more powerful than the Primordial Ancient Tree within the Cloud Hidden Origin Sea. Each of its leaves shimmered with a faint light, containing boundless life force; each branch was thick and strong, as if it could support an entire world.
"This, this is the Primordial Ancient Tree, ranked number one on the list of all beasts!"
Everyone gasped in surprise upon seeing this.
Looking at Yun Yin's somber expression and the aura of a sage that he exuded, along with the Primordial Ancient Tree, and the strangeness of this spirit array, they all became wary and secretly sighed at how deeply Yun Yin had hidden himself.
Ignoring their surprise, Yun Yin spoke first, his expression grave:
"Gentlemen, if we continue to hold back now, I fear this competition between academies will come to an end. I have personally experienced the power of the Primordial Ancient Tree!"
Before he finished speaking, he made a hand seal. The Primordial Tree behind him trembled violently, and the power of primordial chaos surged wildly across his body.
"Primordial Holy Power, Creation of Heaven and Earth!"
Yun Yin shouted, and a beam of light containing the aura of the Primordial Beginning shot out from the center of the Primordial Ancient Tree behind him, rushing towards the illusory image of the Primordial Ancient Tree.
Everyone remained silent, but each of them revealed their trump card.
Yan Lie took a deep breath, and the flames around his body instantly surged several feet, transforming into nine enormous fire dragons that circled and danced around his body.
