Qin Chuan had naturally considered using his enhancement, but even with it, the woman was no match for the man from the Overlord Mansion.
Unable to escape, unable to defeat him, Qin Chuan was anxious, while the woman watched his struggle.
"Qin Chuan, it's my fault, I shouldn't have brought you here," the woman said softly.
The man from the Overlord Mansion was now calm, confident of victory and unhurried. After all, this was a dead end, impossible to untie, with no room for maneuver.
"I really didn't expect this. Miss, what do you want to say now?" the man from the Overlord Mansion asked, looking at the woman.
"Let him go," the woman said after thinking for a moment.
"Let him go? Haha, what a joke! Who do you think you are now? Still the young lady of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan? So what if you're a genius? You shouldn't have fallen in love." The man from the Overlord Mansion laughed, slightly manic.
The woman showed no expression. She knew that getting him to let Qin Chuan go was impossible; she had only brought it up, without expecting success, not even a sliver of hope.
"It's alright, don't worry, we won't die, he will," Qin Chuan said.
"Qin Chuan, do you regret it? Will you hate me?" the woman asked, looking at Qin Chuan.
"I never regret anything. It's better to do something else than regret," Qin Chuan said, smiling at the woman
. "At a time like this, you can still laugh?" the woman asked, puzzled. "
Should I cry instead?"
"Are you afraid of dying?" the woman asked.
"Yes!"
"Then do you want to die?"
"No!"
"Then can I send you away from here?" the woman asked hopefully.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "If you can send both of us out, then go ahead. If you can't, then don't. Otherwise, I'll interrupt you."
"Why are you doing this? You can live," the woman said, her brows furrowed. Such an expression was quite a shock for her.
"I can't get over my own inner demons. If that happens, I'll be very sad, and I'll still face certain death. Rather than that, I'd rather take a gamble."
Qin Chuan was telling the truth. This was her inner demon; if she did, he would definitely have an inescapable inner demon, and his cultivation would be difficult to advance.
If his cultivation stagnates, only death awaits him. He has many enemies, and if his cultivation stagnates, how can he go to the Nine Heavens? He won't even be able to complete his task with his junior sister.
Perhaps the woman understands this, so she doesn't say anything more, but she's somewhat lost. Her Great Dao of Forgetfulness has been broken, and she doesn't know what to do—this is the most fatal flaw.
Array!
There's no other way. Qin Chuan feels that only his own array can save him.
The clash of domains is almost even, so Qin Chuan still uses his amplification and his personal array.
Holy Buddha Five Elements Array!
However, these cannot change the final outcome, but at least they can increase his chances of survival.
Qin Chuan's true reliance on the life-saving array is actually an experiment.
This is an array that Qin Chuan reconstructed after comprehending the Heavenly Mystery Array. Its usage is the same as the Holy Buddha Five Elements Array, only more complicated.
There is no consumption, only a different purpose. This array doesn't directly increase combat power, while the Holy Buddha Five Elements Array directly increases berserk combat power.
This formation relies on celestial secrets, utilizing the opportune moment, favorable location, and harmonious human relationships. While powerful, it has a fatal flaw: its
power is unstable. While the power of the formation ranges from one to ten, the Sacred Buddha Five Elements Formation stabilizes at five, meaning this formation's power can fluctuate between one and eight, or even ten.
This formation leans towards a maze-like nature, an upgraded version of the Nine Palaces, Eight Trigrams, and Seven Stars Formation. The
Celestial Secret Nine Palaces, Eight Trigrams,
and Seven Stars Formation. This is a formation Qin Chuan reconstructed, incorporating the Celestial Secrets Formation. Combined with Qin Chuan's own physique, the Devouring Beast, and the Divine Beast Formation Eye Stone, its power is naturally terrifying.
Especially for its current purpose, Qin Chuan prioritizes self-preservation; whether he can kill his opponent is no longer a consideration.
The world darkened, the moon and earth lost their light, and in an instant, the surrounding environment changed. Qin Chuan's hand was still being held by the woman.
Qin Chuan had no thoughts at this moment; the woman beside him was divine and beautiful, but he no longer knew what to do.
She even considered dying with Qin Chuan, but felt guilty for letting him down. Just then, the world shifted, causing her to look around in confusion.
Qin Chuan was a little nervous, because if the array's power was too weak, it wouldn't change the outcome, and this array couldn't be used indefinitely.
If its power was too low this time, it would require an hour to use again, but once displayed, it could last a day.
The lack of consumption was Qin Chuan's greatest strength.
So, no matter what, even if the power was weak this time, he had to try to hold out until the next hour and try his luck again.
Qin Chuan sensed the array, his expression softening slightly. While its power wasn't the highest, it was above average. If one to ten was a standard, its current power was seven. That
was already quite good, especially considering Qin Chuan's physique and the amplification from his treasures. After all, this was a Heavenly Mystery Array, a benchmark for those at the Immortal Emperor level and above.
In other words, the Heavenly Mystery Array was the only array capable of dealing with Immortal Emperors.
The man from the overlord's mansion's expression changed slightly. An array—this was an array from their domain, and the array master was at the Heavenly Mystery Array realm. This made him slightly uneasy.
Arrays were always the most mysterious things, capable of trapping and killing even the most powerful martial artists. Regardless of whether one was proficient in arrays, no one liked encountering them. If it was an evil array, and one didn't know how to use it, they could very well perish within it.
The woman looked at Qin Chuan. The amplification had already surprised her. Although it still couldn't bring her back to her peak state, it had restored her realm considerably.
Most importantly, it was an array. The woman was quite proficient in arrays, so she immediately saw many of its mysteries.
Originally, she had given up hope, but now she saw hope again; at least she wouldn't die.
But the woman still wanted to get rid of this head steward. After all, countless people were watching. If she couldn't even get rid of the head steward, how could she kill the others?
But when she thought about how her Great Dao of Forgetfulness had been broken, how could she take revenge? The head steward was like a mountain blocking her way.
"Are you worried that your Dao realm has been broken, and you won't be able to take revenge?" Qin Chuan laughed.
"What time is it? Why are you still laughing?" the woman said angrily.
It wasn't anger, just a subconscious fluctuation in her expression, yet it left Qin Chuan stunned. A goddess of heaven, such an expression truly captivated him.
The woman, seeing Qin Chuan staring at her, though seemingly lost in thought, had clear eyes and didn't make her uncomfortable.
"Ahem!" Qin Chuan snapped out of his daze, a little embarrassed.
"No destruction, no construction. Actually, your Great Dao of Forgetfulness has been broken, which is a good thing." Qin Chuan was relaxed now, because he had previously discovered that breaking the Great Dao of Forgetfulness was actually a good thing, a necessary step on the path to the highest realm.
