Baby with Daoist Monarch System

”Earth Demon Spiral Stake...??? It’s actually the Earth Demon Spiral Stake?!!!”

The voice of the senior brother murmured...

His gaze was slightly bewildered as he looked at the small Xu Ran in the Profound Light Mirror.

He was no stranger to this array.

Back then, when his cultivation reached Great Success, he had entered the rift with his Extreme Ice Body, awakened the Heavenly Dao, and repaired the rift.

The process was extremely perilous, even reaching the brink of certain death, but it was the appearance of the array, the Earth Demon Spiral Stake, that gave him a sliver of hope in a dire situation, ultimately enabling him to successfully repair the rift and end the plight of the Near Ancient Era.

When those stones scattered on the ground, he felt a familiar aura, and at that moment, he knew the array of the Earth Demon Spiral Stake was about to be reborn.

”... Whew...!!!!”

Looking at Xu Ran in the mirror, the senior brother’s mind was overwhelmed: ”I understand now, this little guy is the true prodigy chosen by the Nine-Layered Giant Tower!!!!!”

Recall when undergoing this trial, not to mention the Earth Demon Spiral Stake, even the Fire Dragon of the previous fire attribute puppet didn’t appear; it shows the vast difference the Nine-Layered Giant Tower sees between the two.

The trials of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower are not static; they change with the trialist.

The higher your talent, even within the same level of trials, the challenges vary!

Previously, during his trial, neither the Fire Dragon nor the Earth Demon Spiral Stake appeared, but the fact they did in this trial proves his potential, his talent, is inferior to Xu Ran!

...

Meanwhile.

In the dueling arena.

As the array of the Earth Demon Spiral Stake gradually forms, the air above seemed to half evaporate, rising countless vapors, while the ground cracked with spiderweb-like dark golden cracks, thousands of sharp rock spikes spiraling from the fissures, forming a colossal drill array with a diameter of a hundred feet.

The surface of the rock shimmered with a liquid metal-like sheen, compressed to solid-state earth attribute energy; beneath the array, there was an endless energy transport channel, continuously providing energy and maintaining operation.

”Buzz!”

As the array formed, a pressure akin to Mount Tai instantly swept over the entire dueling arena, as if an invisible Great Mountain were pressing down on it, rendering any entity immobile.

”Hmm?”

The dramatic transformation caused by the array made Xu Ran pause his contemplation of breaking through, his eyes immediately lighting up.

”I didn’t expect this earth attribute puppet to have such capability, to be able to sketch out arrays?”

Immediately, he quickly scanned the entire area, seeing the scattered yellow lights, the rubble, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

”Unexpectedly, this puppet possesses such wisdom, hiding the materials to sketch the array in the sandstorm, making it seem as if I dispersed the sandstorm, when in fact, it dissipated on its own, allowing these stones to transform into materials positioned where they belong!”

As he spoke, Xu Ran couldn’t help but applaud himself.

”It’s impressive for a puppet to have such wisdom, and the array it sketches is indeed remarkable!”

At this moment, Xu Ran could clearly feel that within the range of this array, gravity had increased by hundreds of times; if not for the presence of Innate Qi, he might have already been crushed into pulp.

Then, the junior sister outside the dueling arena spoke.

”The Earth Demon Spiral Stake has three levels of deadly mechanisms!”

”First level, Flesh Grinding Spiral, second level, Earth-Bound Abyss, third level, Pollution!”

At this point, the junior sister did not continue to elaborate.

Not because she didn’t want to say more, or was deliberately being mysterious, but truly because she knew only this much information.

Since the disappearance of the earth attribute king, no one had seen the Earth Demon Spiral Stake array, its three deadly mechanisms were known only through ancient texts.

Now Xu Ran felt the hundreds of times gravity suppression, the second deadly mechanism, Earth-Bound Abyss.

”Previously, I only saw the three deadly mechanisms of the Earth Demon Spiral Stake in ancient books, but I never thought I’d have the fortune to witness it firsthand today; I just wonder how long this newcomer can last through its levels?”

As the voice faded, all soul bodies curiously watched Xu Ran in the mirror, eager to witness the Earth Demon Spiral Stake, as all their knowledge came from ancient texts.

The second senior brother felt the same, even though he was oblivious to arrays!

...

Within the trial, Xu Ran naturally didn’t know what the soul bodies outside the dueling arena were saying, nor did he understand the three deadly mechanisms contained in the array.

However, Xu Ran, extremely sensitive to everything, immediately noticed the anomaly of this array.

”This sudden increase in gravity by hundreds of times is undoubtedly caused by this array, but... these spikes growing from the fissures...”

Before he could finish his sentence, the earth attribute puppet eagerly began, its hands rapidly forming seals too fast to see, only its afterimage visible.

As the earth attribute puppet formed seals faster, the spikes growing from the fissures started to rotate, quickly spinning and gradually forming an ultra-gravity domain.

In an instant, all nearby rubble was drawn into the rapidly spinning spikes; once enveloped within, one would not only endure terrifying gravity and swiftly spinning spikes, but also face the rapidly spinning rubble.

Though the rubble seemed small and fragile, under the hundreds of times gravity suppression, combined with such rapid spinning, even the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body would suffer severe injury from a single touch!
