You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Seventeenth Prince, hand over the Divine Artifact and the Phoenix Crown."

Duke Heng appeared nearby, watching Lin Yue, "If it weren't for the immense sin of slaying a prince, Prince Cheng and I would have acted earlier. Why bother talking?"

Although he and Prince Cheng were determined to kill the Seventeenth Prince, if the Seventeenth Prince were to lose the Divine Artifact and Phoenix Crown and with a few other strategies making Harmonization even harder, he would pose much less of a threat to Prince Cheng. Even without killing him, it would not matter.

Suddenly—

"Hmm?"

The Twelfth Prince suddenly looked up at the sky, squinting his eyes, "Is that... Lord Bi?"

"What?" Duke Heng was slightly startled, "They arrived so quickly? Or perhaps... had they arrived early but not shown themselves?"

If they had already been there, why hadn't they made a move to rescue Lin Yue?

The Twelfth Prince had specifically waited a few days just for the Seventeenth Prince's people to come, looking for an opportunity to capture them all.

"No matter."

The Twelfth Prince's expression remained calm as he used Divine Thought Transmission, "They are outside the Array. If we both activate the Array, even with Lord Bi's help in breaking it, it would take a long time. It's too late."

Duke Heng thought of the Eight Desolate Giant God Formation's power and felt relieved.

Such a strong Array that was renowned even among the Sanctum Arrays was not easy to break.

Even Proving Dao powerhouses would need considerable time to forcibly break it, and with people like the Fourteenth Prince, even if there was someone with Array Path skills at Saint level assisting them, it would still be tough.

"Seventeenth brother, there isn't that much time for you to waste."

The Twelfth Prince looked at Lin Yue and spoke softly, "I will ask one last time. The Divine Artifact and the Phoenix Crown, will you hand them over or not?"

Lin Yue stood in the prison, planting the Divine Artifact Battle Saber into the pale ground, speaking indifferently, "The Divine Artifact is right here, come and take it if you want it. As for the Phoenix Crown..."

He suddenly looked up.

"Xiao Qing!"

In an instant, his voice spread throughout the entire Array.

As his voice sounded, a resonating, clear whistle abruptly emerged, a blue rainbow that penetrated the void suddenly tore through the sky, descending swiftly and penetrating the eight-armed giant god formed by the Array!

That terrifying blue rainbow seemed capable of piercing through everything, be it Essence, void, or Array, none could obstruct its penetration.

Wherever the blue rainbow passed, a straight vacuum channel appeared.

Including this powerful Array!

"Phoenix Crown?" The Twelfth Prince's face changed, "How did it transform into a Holy Beast?"

He could sense the aura of the Phoenix Crown, which was indeed at the Holy Beast level!

But Great Yong did not have many Holy Beast Essences saved. The amount of Holy Beast Essence needed for the Phoenix Crown's transformation must be substantial, where did the Seventeenth Prince find it?

The terrifying blue rainbow, at this moment, pierced through the sky.

This moment, like a myth of Divine Messengers from Ancient Times reborn, no creature between heaven and earth could stop its advance!

Everywhere it passed, vacuum prevailed!

This Array, seemingly flawless, now had a tiny hole like that on an eggshell⁠—seemingly unchanged, but already completely different.

"Boom!"

At the same time, streaks of light transformed from Array Flags flew into the slowly healing vacuum hole inside the Eight Desolate Giant God Formation. Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.

One after another, the Array Flags danced in the air, entering the operating power of the Array, and as they shattered, they released bizarre forces, instantly merging into the Array.

Instantly, like setting a pole to see its shadow, the operation of the Array became strained, and the eight-armed double-headed deity condensed by the Eight Desolate Giant God Formation started to scream in agony.

"No good!"

The Twelfth Prince's pupils suddenly contracted.

He immediately understood that even this powerful Array, which could block a Proving Dao being momentarily, was actually unable to withstand the penetration of the Phoenix Crown!

Even the most terrifying Holy Beasts he had ever seen were not this dreadful!

"We must kill the Seventeenth now!"

The Twelfth Prince abruptly turned to look at Lin Yue, his mind moved, and he had already planted the sixteen types of Heart Poison within Lin Yue's body. At the same time, he slammed his palm toward Lin Yue!

This palm faintly encompassed a circle of Mystery, the universe showing a myriad of poison-bearing demon gods spewing endless toxic mist, turning the whole world into a land of absolute silence!

This palm, when struck, immediately had terrifying poison gas surge into the bone prison.

The ethereal Heart Poison.

A tangible, extremely poisonous environment.

Under such a dual attack, even most transcendent beings who had achieved Sanctification would be severely injured!

It was not difficult at all to kill a Great Cultivator, as the deadly poison could instantly turn the opponent into pus and blood.

However—

"Boom!"

Two beams of golden light suddenly flew out from Lin Yue's wrists, transforming into spinning flames. Lin Yue's figure immediately virtualized, and more dazzling golden light flew out, instantly turning into pieces of golden scales, which then gathered to form a perfect set of golden armor!

Enveloped by the poisonous fog, the virtualized Lin Yue, protected by the golden armor, exhibited no change in aura.

The Semi-Divine Artifact Flying Spirit Chasing Sun was inherently adept at preserving life, and this golden armor was purely defensive, with perfect defense.

If it was just a direct strike with pure force, it might have some effect, but the poison fog, even capable of corroding the Void, would hardly penetrate the perfect defense of this Semi-Divine Artifact armor!

No matter how the poison fog enveloped, it was utterly ineffective!

"Hmm?"

The Twelfth Prince's expression changed.

"Perfect defense? Could it be a Semi-Divine Artifact? Only a pure force can break the armor!" He immediately understood the armor's weakness and prepared to switch tactics.

Just then—

"Hey!"

The terrible cyan rainbow transformed by the Phoenix Crown had completely penetrated and entered the Array, engulfing the Twelfth Prince entirely, and then, carrying the Twelfth Prince, it drew cunning arcs of light across the Array at a terrifying speed.

"Good, even if Xiao Qing can't kill the Twelfth Prince, he can hold him off for a while!"

A flicker of joy crossed Lin Yue's mind as he immediately looked towards the Demon Lord of the White Bone Palace, who was in shock.

The Demon Lord also paused only for a moment before understanding immediately what he should do.

"White Bone Abyss!"

The Demon Lord reached out, and the White Bone Prison, formed by the Innate White Bone Mountain, began to contract inward. At the same time, a pale blade of light flew out from his palm, slashing directly towards the golden armor on Lin Yue's body!

Even with defensive Semi-Divine Artifact armor, a mere Great Cultivator had limited endurance; even if it resisted the deadly poison, it could not possibly withstand his Lifebound Treasure.

The situation had changed, it was time to suppress the Seventeenth Prince first.

Although he dared not kill, breaking the armor that seemed like a Semi-Divine Artifact and then sealing and suppressing the Seventeenth Prince was still within his reach.

As long as he used the Seventeenth Prince as a hostage, even if the Fourteenth Prince and the others outside broke the Array, it wouldn't matter, they would just let the Twelfth Prince come out and kill him!

"Seventeenth Your Highness, even if the Phoenix Crown entangles Prince Cheng Your Highness, there's still this old bone here, just give up."

The Demon Lord also deployed a Primordial Spirit Skill, and terrifying resentment immediately surged with his Divine Thought Transmission, attempting to affect Lin Yue's mind.

The disciples of the White Bone Palace, maintaining this pale land, also concentrated their pressure within the White Bone Prison on Lin Yue.

The terrifying gravity caused the nearby Void to distort more visibly.

"No matter how talented, isn't he still doomed to die?"

Leading the many disciples of the White Bone Palace to activate the palace's Array, the Saint Heir of Huang Gu sneered in his heart: "Too bad, this presumptuous prince has yet to realize my strength..."

At that instant.

A pale and sharp blade of light was already slicing towards Lin Yue, and the White Bone Prison, carrying an immense force, pressed down, with the gravity distorting the Void firmly locking him.

For a Great Cultivator, this was an irreversible predicament!

Just then—

"Boom!"

A terrifying blade of light suddenly burst forth, transforming into an endless river of starlight that swept out in all directions.

The White Bone Prison shattered instantly, and the pale blade of light, transformed from the Demon Lord's Lifebound Treasure, stood no chance against the starlight river, breaking and being thrown out!

"Impossible..."

The Demon Lord's pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze reflecting the river of starlight flashed with horror, followed by his entire body being swept into the starlight river.

The starlit river surged, annihilating everything.

In an instant, the Demon Lord of the White Bone Palace barely struggled before being completely engulfed by the starlit river, and then vanished without a trace.
