Martial Master

In the silent gaze of Ji Ruyue, Qin Chen began to quickly refine the array flags. A large amount of materials, after being melted, were constructed by him into pieces of array foundation materials.

He worked with both hands, rapidly covering numerous array flags and foundations with array patterns and symbols.

Although Ji Ruyue was not an array master, it didn't hinder her perspective. Qin Chen's movements flowed like a stream, giving her a strong sense of beauty. She had seen other array masters set up formations, but she had never seen anyone as perfect as Qin Chen.

This was not so much refining array flags, but more like creating a perfect piece of art.

After half an hour, just as both Qin Chen and Ji Ruyue were mentally exhausted to the extreme and on the verge of giving up,

The last array flag was finally set up by Qin Chen.

Buzz!

A terrifying aura spread out, and countless rays of array light instantly soared, forming a circular array light around Qin Chen and Ji Ruyue that was only about ten feet in diameter.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of rumbling sounds came in, and ripples immediately appeared on the array light, as if it was about to shatter at any moment. Yet, it ultimately held firm, no matter how the external sword intent attacked, the array light continued to flicker, never shattering.

"Finally succeeded."

Qin Chen let out a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground. At this moment, his clothes were already soaked, his whole body feeling weak and exhausted, a wave of frailty washing over him.

Ji Ruyue also let out a long breath, nervously watching the wavering array light, her eyes revealing an expression of disbelief.

"An eighth-level array, you set up an eighth-level array?" Ji Ruyue exclaimed in surprise.

She wasn't an array master, but she still had some basic insight. The sword intent attack was so terrifying that even an ordinary early-stage Martial Emperor entering here would quickly be shredded into nothingness. Yet, this array actually managed to withstand the sword intent attack from the seventh layer.

Regardless of how long it could hold out, just being able to resist was beyond what a seventh-level array could accomplish.

Qin Chen nodded and said, "I set up an eighth-level Heaven and Earth Guardian Array. The defensive range of this array is small, but its defense is extremely strong, and it should be able to hold out for a while."

"It really is an eighth-level array!" Ji Ruyue looked at Qin Chen with an even more complex gaze. This Qin Chen was too much of a genius, actually setting up an eighth-level defensive array under such circumstances.

An eighth-level array, that would mean an eighth-level royal array master. Although such array masters weren't particularly top-tier in the Martial Domain, this was the Northern Sky Domain. How many eighth-level array masters were there in the entire Northern Sky Domain?

Let alone such a young eighth-level array master.

A monster, this guy was simply a monster.

Ji Ruyue initially thought she was talented enough, but compared to Qin Chen, she felt like garbage.

Yet, Qin Chen showed no signs of excitement. With a sigh, he said, "I don't know how long this array can hold, but at least within one hour should be fine. We need to think of a way to leave here quickly, otherwise, the longer we stay, the more dangerous it will get."

"What exactly is going on here?" Ji Ruyue saw that although the array light trembled under the attack of the sword intent, it showed no signs of damage, and she felt somewhat relieved. She then asked.

Qin Chen fell silent for a moment and said, "I'm not very clear either, but this place definitely doesn't seem like a place for comprehending sword intent, and there are no swordsmen who can comprehend sword intent here."

Ji Ruyue's face also looked bad. She could sense that this place indeed did not seem like a place for comprehending sword intent.

Instead, it felt like a trap designed to kill top swordsmen. The more talented the swordsman, the easier it was for them to arrive at this seventh layer. Once they entered the seventh layer, they would inevitably die here.
