The aurora was obstructed, not dissipating immediately, but instead continuing to exert pressure, leaving the chaotic mass suspended in place.
Heiting Yanting smirked contemptuously, clapped his hands again, and yet another Illusory Eye opened.
In the space around Ye Pingsu, several energy tentacles emerged, reaching out toward him.
Once again, those rays of light split apart and spun towards the energy tentacles. The momentum from the spinning allowed them to maintain their rotation even after colliding, splitting the energy tentacles into segments. Thus, even if these things reached around Ye Pingsu, they would be torn apart by the unique area created around him.
This space only contained Heiting Yanting and Ye Pingsu. The latter had been in a passive defensive state from the very beginning, and at least from the current situation, Ye Pingsu was completely suppressed by the leader of the Dwarf Race, showing no signs of being able to counterattack. If this situation continued, the outcome was obvious.
Heiting Yanting clearly thought the same. He clapped his hands three times in succession, activating three more Illusory Eyes. This time, a storm erupted around Ye Pingsu, an invisible and soundless storm that transformed everything from before, be it the aurora, the energy tentacles, or the rays of light, all into a different form.
This was an energy storm, silent yet deadly.
Faced with such an attack, Ye Pingsu felt like a small boat in a tempest, floating in the turbulent waves, on the verge of being capsized and disappearing at any moment.
Three symbols flew out from Ye Pingsu's body, hovering around him as the brutal energy storm swept past.
This took Heiting Yanting by surprise; he hadn't expected the Illusory Storm, which he had placed high hopes on to quickly resolve the battle, to be so easily dispelled.
However, this did not affect the Dwarf Race leader. He continued clapping his hands, activating one Illusory Eye after another, unleashing one bizarrely powerful ability after another.
Each time, Heiting Yanting felt that the next moment he would eliminate the person before him, but each time, this veteran of the Su Clan held firm, even in such perilous circumstances.
He began to pay more attention, no, he had always valued this old man; now, he merely elevated that attention to an unprecedented height.
No one knew better than him just how powerful the Divine Eye was after merging with him.
"You've integrated the array of formations into your body?"
Heiting Yanting suddenly asked.
Ye Pingsu usually dissolved attacks with those bright rays of light. Occasionally, when faced with particularly powerful moves, he would manifest glowing symbols, all of which appeared from his body.
Peak experts were indeed the pinnacle existence among cosmic life forms; they had come into contact with, learned, and grasped the primordial power of this universe.
But this did not mean they could use this power without limits; it was related to their understanding and control of rules, as well as the depth of their physical cultivation.
With so many attacks from Heiting Yanting, he believed no other expert of the same level could withstand them completely, and naturally, Ye Pingsu could not either.
So the fact that he was still standing there firmly indicated that something was supporting him.
Earlier, he had seen Ye Pingsu inscribe the array of formations within the space, which was quite magical, but now he was certain that the nearby space was no longer suitable for any array meridian's presence; the Illusory Eyes had already confined this area.
So there was only one possibility left: Ye Pingsu had inscribed the array of formations into his own body!
And not inscribed on-site, but had inscribed it long ago.
Ingraining an array into a flesh-and-blood body was a highly difficult task because the body's structure is relatively fixed, making it incredibly hard to imprint the array's lines. Moreover, with the array operating inside the body, the first thing it would absorb was the body's power, and even a small array could not be fully supported by just a few thousand fuleira's life force.
