Although Essien had proposed the test, being young and fiercely competitive, he had hoped to see others struggle to break the Array, only to eventually give up. Then, he would generously complint their performance before allowing them to pass.
This would make him appear magnanimous and unfathomably profound.
The script had already been written; he was prepared to play his part.
But now, he had encountered an unexpectedly tough opponent. This person could breach the Array single-handedly at a heaven-defying speed and was on the verge of barging into the Dark Tower to forcibly destroy his Array!
Essien imdiately activated his contingency plan, casting aside all pretense of fairness.
He hadn’t intended to resort to this. After all, he had only stipulated that the challenger break the Dark Night Ultimate Formation, not that he would completely alter the Array.
But he couldn’t bear the thought of losing, especially so quickly. So, he cheated!
Even as an Imperial Marshal, he was still young. His temperant was clearly different from that of veteran Marshals like Albert.
That fellow’s Skeleton Monsters are dark-type creatures, so they aren’t naturally suppressed by the Dark Extre Array! That’s practically cheating! Humph! If he can cheat, then I can change the test. Let’s see how he handles my reversal!
Hailed as an Array genius, Essien’s proficiency in Formations was naturally exceptional.
He had long prepared a contingency within the Dark Night Ultimate Formation precisely for such a situation.
Since the Dark Night Ultimate Formation was ineffective, he imdiately activated his prepared counterasure, using an Attribute Reversal Tool to forcibly convert the Dark Night Ultimate Formation into the Holy Light Extre Array!
With the successful reversal, the pitch-black environnt around Chen Mo instantly beca blindingly bright. Yet, this brilliance was no blessing, as the intensity of the surrounding holy light was enough to sear one’s eyes.
Excessive light, ultimately, was no different from excessive darkness.
Both rendered one unable to discern their surroundings.
Once the transformation into the Holy Light Extre Array was complete, Essien imdiately unleashed its ultimate attack: the Holy Light Coming Kill Move!
He would annihilate these troubleso Skeleton Monsters!
Instantly, myriad beams of holy light assailed the Skeleton Monsters from all directions, forming potent light curtains that enveloped the entire area.
Essien had initially assud that Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters would dissipate completely within this torrent of holy light.
However, contrary to his expectations, the holy light had no effect whatsoever on these Skeleton Monsters.
All the Skeleton Monsters continued to move freely within the Array’s confines.
Chen Mo, likewise, remained unaffected, swiftly charging into the tower.
It seems choosing the holy feature was indeed the right decision. Most people, upon seeing Skeleton Monsters, would instinctively resort to holy light, only to find their efforts futile.
Upon entering the tower, Chen Mo imdiately scanned its interior with his perception ability.
His perception ability, now restored within the tower, pinpointed Essien and the Array’s core at the summit. Chen Mo instantly took to the air, flying directly to the top floor.
"You truly are full of surprises," Essien said, looking at Chen Mo with a wry smile.
He hadn’t imagined that nothing could hinder Chen Mo, allowing him to enter the tower so smoothly.
Although he still had other tactics he could employ now that the enemy was inside the tower, Essien dismissed the idea. When he thought about the sheer number of Skeleton Monsters Chen Mo could summon, what was the point? Those Skeleton Monsters alone could probably pile up and burst the tower apart; any other tactic would be useless.
Though disconcerted, the outco was undeniably clear. Essien was willing to admit he was outmatched.
"Since I’m already here, I suppose there’s no need to destroy the Array core, right?" Chen Mo asked.
"You’ve passed," Essien conceded. "However, the Dark Night Ultimate Formation is rely the first trial in the Dark Canyon. Don’t assu that clearing it ans you’ve easily conquered the Dark Canyon."
Chen Mo smiled. "Naturally. I’ve long heard of your accomplishnts in Formations, Young Marshal. I’d imagine such a critical location wouldn’t be guarded by just a single Array. However, our agreent pertained only to the Dark Night Ultimate Formation. You wouldn’t impose further difficulties, would you?"
Essien gave a helpless smile. "Of course, I keep my word. I’ve already sent soone to inform them you’ve passed."
As Essien finished speaking, the scene around Chen Mo underwent a dramatic transformation.
The Dark Tower, the oppressive darkness, and the blinding holy light—all vanished without a trace. Chen Mo now stood upon the battlents of a fortress in the Dark Canyon, with endless plains stretching out around him.
Evidently, Essien had dispelled all the Array’s effects on him.
"Chen Mo is inside the Dark Canyon!"
"Incredible speed! He entered the Dark Canyon in less than a minute! With his capabilities, once he’s inside, breaking the Array is rely a matter of ti."
"All our Generals and Marshals have tried to crack the Dark Night Ultimate Formation. Besides Kahn, it seems no one else has ever succeeded. Yet, Chen Mo not only broke Essien’s Dark Night Ultimate Formation, he did it incredibly fast! This fellow’s power is terrifying!"
"Breaking the Dark Night Ultimate Formation depends more on specific abilities than raw power. This young man’s capabilities are truly astounding."
As the crowd marveled, Chen Mo received a notification: The Heavenly Path’s Hint.
