Upon seeing an opening in the arcane array, Judd led everyone to rush forward.
Just as they rushed forward, a flash of white light streaked past, followed swiftly by a terrifying force that sent everyone flying backwards!
“Hahaha, this arcane array has been fortified by the elders of the Duad Formation Sect. How could it possibly be broken so easily?” An elder from Harlan’s faction burst out laughing.
Harlan had taken the necessary precautions early on. He knew that Rohan was likely to favor Gael. Hence, he asked Carlo to fortify the arcane array once the latter arrived.
Upon seeing the situation, Juliet furrowed her brows instantly. The formation plate in her hand could only break through the arcane array set by Rohan. There was no way for her to break through the arcane array set by others.
After all, she did not practice array craft. All the while, she had been relying on the formation plate given to her by Rohan.
“What should we do now?” Juliet slumped, at her wit’s end.
“Allow me, Juliet!” Just then, Jared stepped forward.
“You?” Juliet was taken aback. “You know array craft?”
When Juliet took Jared to meet Gael, Jared feigned ignorance throughout the visit, following behind her obediently.
It was no wonder that Juliet was shocked when Jared offered assistance. Jared simply flashed her a smile. Without uttering a word, he stepped forward and gently placed his hand on the arcane array.
Almost instantaneously, the once impregnable arcane array crumbled, shattering like an eggshell before completely disappearing!
Upon witnessing how effortlessly Jared dismantled the arcane array, Juliet was utterly dumbfounded!
Everyone else was left astounded too. No one had expected that Jared would be well-versed in array craft, much less highly skilled in it.
“You should know, Juliet. Jared’s array craft might be on par with Rohan’s, if not better,” Judd explained as he inched closer to Juliet.
At that moment, Juliet finally realized that not only was Jared incredibly skilled, but his mastery over array craft was also truly astounding!
All of a sudden, Juliet’s heart began to flutter.
“What are you waiting for? Kill them!” Jared glanced at Juliet before promptly raising his arm and calling out!
In an instant, the clamor of battle echoed through the heavens as spiritual energies clashed and exploded incessantly!
For a moment, it was as if the apocalypse had descended upon the world, causing the entire void to quiver uncontrollably!
While the fierce battle between Gael’s and Harlan’s factions was ongoing, Harlan, Berthold, and the others arrived at the foot of the Divine Flame Mountain.
However, at the foot of the Divine Flame Mountain, a river of magma about three hundred meters wide was blocking their path!
As Harlan gazed at the river of magma before him, he frowned.
“What’s going on? How come a river has suddenly appeared?”
Harlan had visited the Divine Flame Mountain before, but he had never seen this river of magma. Its sudden appearance left him utterly perplexed!
“Dad, could it be that the river was formed due to the magma that erupted from beneath the Divine Flame Mountain? We just needed one leap to cross this river. There is nothing to fear.” Berthold reasoned.
Just as Berthold was about to make his move, he was abruptly stopped by Harlan.
“Don’t be reckless,” Harlan warned. Catching the eye of a disciple from the Violet Flame Sect standing nearby, Harlan gestured to the disciple. “You go first.”
“Yes, sir!” Despite his fears, the disciple obeyed.
The disciple from the Violet Flame Sect leaped fearlessly, but as he hovered over the river, his body suddenly ignited in flames. Accompanied by a chilling scream, he plummeted into the river below!
Upon witnessing this scene, Berthold’s face immediately turned grim!
Harlan furrowed his brows, deep in thought. He hadn’t anticipated that the awakening of the Divine Flame Mountain would unexpectedly give rise to a river blocking their path!
Just as Harlan found himself at a loss, he suddenly sensed dozens of auras were rapidly converging toward them!
“Darn it, did these guys get here so quickly?”
Harlan had initially thought that it was Dario and his group who had arrived, intending to prevent them from entering the Divine Flame Mountain!
