I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 489: Chapter 388: The Fifth Formation Core

Deep within the Cyan Dragon Array.

The stone pillar that should have stood there was completely destroyed by a full-force strike from Louis XVII, who was at his full power state.

The Cyan Dragon Array was the first to be breached!

Fortunately, the main forces on Great Xia’s side were still intact, while one of the three Tier Nine Ultimates on the Imperial side, Tier Nine Imperial Knight Louis XVII, had already been heavily injured by them!

Merely relying on six Tier Eight Cultivators to heavily wound a veteran Tier Nine Knight powerhouse.

Even with the augmentation and support of the Cyan Dragon Array, such an accomplishment was impressive, stunning everyone.

”The Cyan Dragon Array has been broken, but we haven’t lost yet.”

Once again, it was Shang Siteng who spoke.

Nuannuan’s Flowing Light and Shadow was their ultimate card against Louis XVII, but for Nuannuan, such a card could only be used once in a short time span.

They now had no room for error, and neither did Louis XVII.

”A knight without an aura is like a toothless tiger, and even if your aura cools down, how much Spiritual Power do you have left?”

To annihilate the Great Xia crowd and at the same time destroy the Cyan Dragon Stone Pillar Array Hub, Louis XVII had also expended a considerable amount of Spiritual Power.

He did not respond, and Shang Siteng’s gaze moved away from him, falling on the Storm Knight Order who were ready to move.

”Everyone, the battle continues.”

...

”The Cyan Dragon Array is broken.”

Feeling the commotion from the array and the disappearance of the emerald light, Celestial Net Bob muttered.

”Much sooner than anticipated.”

”Louis XVII personally descended to accelerate this siege battle.”

”Even Louis XVII himself was heavily injured, and from the current situation, it’s even advantageous for Great Xia North County.”

To trade a Cyan Dragon Array for a heavily injured Tier Nine Ultimate, such a cost was completely acceptable!

Bob had just thought of this when in the Vermilion Bird Array, a sword light shot up into the sky.

Imperial Sword, Antonio.

In terms of comprehensive combat power, Louis XVII was the undisputed first of the Empire, but if only in terms of destructive power, Louis XVII could only rank second.

Because Antonio was the Imperial Sword, the most powerful killer in the Empire!

He also sensed the aura from within the Cyan Dragon Array, something like Louis XVII telling him that the final attack horn had sounded.

”It seems Louis XVII has already breached the Cyan Dragon Array; I can’t fall behind here either.”

As he spoke, the dazzling sword light streaked across the sky, piercing through one Star Destroyer after another in the span of a few breaths!

All the knights of the Templar Order, their auras bursting forth, clashed with the ground iron torrent of the Intelligent Mechanism Legion.

For a moment, the loss numbers of the Intelligent Mechanism Legion under Bob’s control began to soar rapidly.

The first Imperial Knight Order truly began to show their prowess and strength.

The biggest losses were still from the carrier fleet.

Their quantum shield defense seemed like a piece of thin paper in the eyes of this Imperial Sword, torn as easily as it could be.

Besides those of the same Tier Nine power, no defense could withstand a single round under his hand.

A string of explosions turned the skies above the Vermilion Bird Array into a display of fireworks, and Antonio single-handedly, forcibly made his way to the deepest part of the Vermilion Bird Array!

Here, a stone pillar stood, emitting a vermilion glow.

The array hub of the Vermilion Bird Array!

Antonio lifted his gray hood, revealing a face devoid of joy or sadness, his eyes like two sharp sword lights, impossible to look directly at.

Capture the leader first before dealing with the followers.

By destroying the array hub of the Vermilion Bird Array, he could not only complete the task but also considerably reduce the firepower damage from the Intelligent Mechanism Legion, hitting two birds with one stone.

Great Xia had no one capable of stopping him, and the reason he hadn’t done it earlier was to shield the other knights of the Templar Order from most of the attacks.

Now the timing was ripe, and if exchanging temporary casualties for final victory,

This outcome was entirely acceptable.

Antonio thought of this as he slowly raised his hand, aiming at the stone pillar.

”It’s over.”

”Slash!”

A brilliant light burst forth, and the stone pillar representing the array hub of the Vermilion Bird Array shattered immediately.

But the next second, a terrifying aura that even Antonio felt dangerous suddenly erupted as the stone pillar shattered!

The wave of annihilation energy completely engulfed this Imperial Sword!

”BOOM!” In the virtual space, Little Dragon Man Bob made an exaggerated explosion gesture, his gaze fierce.

With Celestial Net’s computing power, he had known from the start that the array hub of the Vermilion Bird Array couldn’t be defended, and its fall was only a matter of time.

War has never been just about the gains and losses of a single city or place.

If he could trade a single array for a chance to severely injure a Tier Nine Ultimate, it was absolutely a sure profit.

Sacrificing for maximum gain, the utilitarianism unique to the Intelligent Mechanism was cold-blooded but made sense.

”For Imperial Sword Antonio to win, there are only two ways. First, he must kill all the Intelligent Mechanism Legion, which is unrealistic as the Intelligent Mechanism Legion’s rapid troop production can still withstand him for at least half a month.”

”The second method is to go deep alone and strike at the core. The success rate of this method is very high.”

Under such analysis, Bob did one thing.

He hid a ”big gift” beneath the array hub of the Vermilion Bird Array, which would trigger and detonate once the stone pillar was shattered!

This ”big gift” was a collaboration between Second Brother Lin Jingxuan and Bob, with a significant cost, allowing for only one creation.

With Lin Jingxuan’s power, this attack, even if it couldn’t kill Antonio, would definitely heavily injure him!

As the annihilation energy bloomed and collapsed, then vanished, Antonio, covered in blood, half-knelt, his right hand supporting the Knight’s Greatsword.

He looked up, blood also trickling down from his eyes along his cheeks.

In a hoarse voice, he said, ”Here, I will hold them. All members of the Templar Order, move into the other two arrays and complete the Array Breaking!”

After saying this, this Imperial Sword staggered to his feet.

He gripped the sword hilt with both hands again.

The virtual figure of Little Dragon Man Bob appeared before him.

”In your current state, if you think you alone can delay my Intelligent Mechanism Legion, you’ll die here.”

Antonio’s temples were ashen, his entire body battered and broken, and he said nothing, just closed his eyes and grasped the Knight’s Greatsword firmly.

”Very well.”

Bob’s gaze turned cold, ”Then perish!”

...

The successive breaches of the Cyan Dragon Array and the Vermilion Bird Array.

The remaining two arrays also started to falter.

The Yin Yang Four Symbols Array was a grand array in its entirety; losing two of its parts made the flow of Spiritual Power within it sluggish.

Both the evil energy amplification of the White Tiger Array and the Profound Turtle Shell Shield of the Black Tortoise Array were greatly diminished.

Antonio alone held off the Intelligent Mechanism Legion, while the other knights of the Templar Order transformed into strong reinforcements, breaking through the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Arrays and becoming the decisive weight on the scales of victory.

The White Tiger Array was breached!

The Black Tortoise Array was breached!

When all four array hubs were destroyed, the red, cyan, black, and white runes covering the North County completely vanished.

However, the anticipated vision of a descent into darkness did not appear.

Tens of millions of golden profound texts still floated in the air, surrounding the central tower, emitting a soft glow.

There lay the fifth array hub!
