Chapter 235 Iron Chain 2
After the Water Control Array was activated, even a Martial Saint, much less Sima Yao and others at the True Power Realm, would find it difficult to break through. It was truly like a fortress, as solid as a mountain, walking on water.
Once the two armies clashed head-on and the warships collided, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Completely...
impenetrable!
Chen Sansi said nothing but flew into the warship.
There was no time to clean this captured warship, and the deck was littered with bloodstains and the corpses of court soldiers lying in disarray, with military flags and array flags planted in various corners of the ship.
Second-Tier Array.
As a fellow Array Master, Chen Sansi naturally recognized it for what it was.
Although Formations could be complex, they can generally be broadly compared.
The power of a First-Tier Array is equivalent to that of a Qi Refinement cultivator.
The power of a Second-Tier Array is equivalent to Foundation Establishment power!
Capable of matching a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Water Control Array!
Second-Tier Array Master!
This Dan Liangcheng was merely a Qi Refinement cultivator, yet capable of setting up a Second-Tier Array, which proved he was a genius in the way of arrays.
Of course.
The Spiritual Energy consumption of a Second-Tier Array is also enormous.
Chen Sansi, at the helm, found where the array plate was located. Nearby, a large number of low-grade spirit stones were not only stored but even black-green middle-grade spirit stones, each worth a thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Even so, the Spiritual Energy was rapidly depleting, and if the Water Control Array was maintained, it wouldn't be long before these spirit stones were completely exhausted.
Just like in mortal wars, where thousands of taels of gold are consumed every day after the war begins.
When the Immortals wage war, they too need to consume countless spirit stones daily.
In this Ancestor Vein contest, the Shengyun Sect was also likely making a significant investment.
Chen Sansi embedded a spirit stone in the Array Eye, then gently turned the array plate. The ship helm emitted a brilliant spirit light, and ancient runes on the array plate lit up one after another, with array flags placed in various positions systematically moving.
Water Control Array!
"Swish-la-la—"
Under the manipulation of the array.
The waters of Donghan Lake began to ripple, forming an arched water wall that enveloped the five-tusk warship.
Flame Manipulation Technique!
Chen Sansi first gathered flames with mana, accumulating a fireball above his palm, then waved it to transform into a rain of fire, scattering on the deck, attempting to ignite the warship.
As expected.
The flames had only been burning for two breaths before several pythons formed from lake water condensed on the water wall of the Water Control Array, precisely hitting the ignited spots. They contained the mana of heaven and earth, successfully extinguishing the flames, causing billowing smoke to rise on the deck.
This Water Control Array was not only capable of defending against external attacks but was also adept at handling both internal and external threats.
It should be known that the flames of the Flame Manipulation Technique were not ordinary but Mana Fire, yet even so, they were easily extinguished, demonstrating the remarkable power of a Second-Tier Array.
Chen Sansi lightly leaped, leaving the Water Control Array and returning to Wo Long's small boat. A golden Big Bow suddenly appeared in his hand, aimed at the five-tusk warship, drawing the bow like a full moon.
"Boom!"
The bowstring released.
The Silver Bullet, carrying surging True Power, exploded forth, igniting a blazing flame in the void, spreading its wings until it transformed into a Vermilion Bird engulfed in flames, screeching and flying out, crashing into the water wall.
"Boom-rumble-rumble!"
Under the terrifying impact, the five-tusk warship shook, but the Water Control Array remained intact. After several breaths of stalemate between the Vermilion Bird and the water barrier, the bird dimmed and extinguished, losing its spiritual nature, and the Silver Bullet fell from mid-air, sinking into the lake.
"Boom!"
Following that,
another Fire Dragon soared into the air, drastically transforming as it neared the array, its temperature skyrocketing, and the flames turned crimson red, roaring and biting towards the Water Control Array.
Immortal Treasure Strange Fire!
This time.
The five-tusk warship shook more violently, as if hit by a tsunami. The crimson Fire Dragon finally tore open a crack in the water wall, but just as it was about to breach into the ship, the array plate on the ship accelerated its operation, drawing on the Spiritual Energy within the spirit stones at an inconceivable speed, strengthening the water wall, continually repairing the damage to the Water Control Array.
The lake water wall imbued with Spiritual Power became increasingly thicker, expanding from its original few inches to over a yard, as the crimson flames burned within the lake water.
Fire in the water!
Even so, the Abnormal Fire did not extinguish, instead evaporating the water wall.
"Sizzle-sizzle-sizzle—"
The constant sound of incompatibility between water and fire echoed, similar to the sound of roasting meat, as mist rolled out, quickly enveloping the area within hundreds of yards, turning the place into an otherworldly paradise.
However...
Ultimately, the Water Control Array could leverage the entire lake, inexhaustibly repairing the water wall until the Silver Bullet within the Fire Dragon was burned to ashes by the Abnormal Fire, and the Abnormal Fire was extinguished as well.
After personal experimentation, Chen Sansi gained an accurate judgment about this Second-Tier Array.
The water from the Water Control Array couldn't extinguish the Abnormal Fire.
The reason the Abnormal Fire couldn't breach the water wall was because it needed something to burn.
Whether it was wood, lamp oil, or flesh, as long as the Abnormal Fire had material to consume, it could unleash astonishing power, provided there was "material."
Water was evidently not a combustible material.
The Abnormal Fire extinguished not because it was "doused" by water, but because the lamp oil on the Silver Bullet was used up, leaving no combustible material, thus it couldn't continue burning.
To ignite the ship from the outside,
the primary requirement would be to depend on brute force to break through the "water wall."
But this is a Second-Tier Formation!
