CRACK.
In an instant, a crisp snap echoed out.
In the void, a semi-transparent orb inscribed with countless runes was struck by the Sword Qi, forcing it out of its cloaked state.
The Sword Qi exploded. The runic orb shattered, turning into countless tiny diamonds that fell to the ground before vanishing like bubbles.
This was a spatial restriction.
To stall for time, the creator of the Array had divided the space within it into countless folded dimensions.
To reach the Array's core, one had to push through layer after layer, like peeling an onion.
Moreover, unlike in a game, killing all the guardians wouldn't trigger an automatic teleport.
The cultivators had to locate and destroy the restriction themselves to reach the next layer of space.
Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn't just speedrun through it. The guardian was clearly skilled at delaying intruders.
At this moment...
HUMMM.
