”Stop trying to scare me here. Can these marks really disappear? You’re just a coward who doesn’t dare to take action yourself, afraid of failure and being swept into the chaotic void stream. You’re clearly setting me up!” Ye Tianchen unceremoniously exposed the God Beating Bowl.

”You... Ye kid, I can’t be bothered to argue with you. To tell the truth, I’ve already investigated it. This Shadowless Divine Array is incredibly powerful. I don’t know who set it up, but it seems that it could exist for millions of years. The spots I’ve marked can only be opened by combining forces to attack them. Moreover, this Shadowless Divine Array seems to be governed by a spiritual consciousness. The spots I’ve marked might disappear quickly, and even shift positions, making them hard to find again. We need to act quickly!” The God Beating Bowl glared at Ye Tianchen as it spoke.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned, realizing that the God Beating Bowl hadn’t lied. He hadn’t expected that this Shadowless Divine Array wouldn’t dissipate even after millions of years, still possessing such power and efficacy. Generally, even the mightiest formations lose potency over time and eventually collapse, becoming utterly worthless. This is the lament of all living beings and things in the Martial Arts World — no matter how talented or invincible you are, you cannot resist the erosion of time, nor attain Eternal Life, all eventually turning to nothing!

Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen didn’t hesitate. Even though this cowardly God Beating Bowl was afraid of death and couldn’t guarantee it had found the correct way to break the Shadowless Divine Array, they didn’t have much time to waste. They needed to quickly break the Shadowless Divine Array, and even if they couldn’t, they must avoid being caught in the chaotic void stream, which was dangerous and would delay their search for the Divine Spring Pond’s source.

Ye Tianchen wasn’t indecisive or fearful of death; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come this far to become one of the top young talents in the three major Ancient Martial World on Earth. He gathered dozens of strands of Martial Arts True Power and gradually injected them into the spots marked by the God Beating Bowl, like fine needles piercing those marked spots.

”Can we start now?” Ye Tianchen glanced at the God Beating Bowl and asked.

”Wait!” The God Beating Bowl hurriedly said.

At this point, the God Beating Bowl retreated to a distance, standing far from the Jade Door, then chuckled and said, ”Begin. If anything goes wrong and we fail, I’ll save you!”

”Damn, standing so far away, obviously ready to run, and you say you’ll save me? Coward!” Ye Tianchen cursed angrily.

When Ye Tianchen directed dozens of strands of Martial Arts True Power from his dantian onto the marks indicated by the God Beating Bowl, he frowned. The dozens of marks were chaotic, scattered in no apparent order, neither neatly arranged nor following a pattern, just randomly placed. This showed that the Shadowless Divine Array was indeed extraordinary, and the cowardly God Beating Bowl wasn’t entirely confident in cracking it. The chance of failure was pretty high; otherwise, it wouldn’t have positioned itself so distantly.

”Don’t be afraid, at worst, the Shadowless Divine Array will vanish with the Jade Palace. You can protect yourself with Chaos Qi. Even if you enter the chaotic void stream, nothing will happen, so proceed boldly!” The God Beating Bowl shouted to Ye Tianchen.

Were it not for the fact that Martial Arts True Power from his dantian was already acting on the marked spots, Ye Tianchen would have given the God Beating Bowl a good beating. Despite claiming expertise in formations, the cowardly God Beating Bowl refused to act, leaving the burden of cracking this powerful formation on him, an amateur—how can that not be a setup?

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Strands of power started flowing continuously into the marks. This method of breaking a formation was something Ye Tianchen was witnessing for the first time, akin to severing critical connections within the Shadowless Divine Array. Could it be accomplished? Did this coward truly possess the ability to dismantle a formation seldom seen in the Martial Arts World?

”Taoist friend, hold on a moment...” Suddenly, a beautiful clam elf interrupted Ye Tianchen.

”Hmm? What’s wrong?” Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.

”One spot is incorrect. If you proceed like this, you’ll surely fail!” another beautiful clam elf spoke up.

”Fail? Don’t you just want us to fail? What do you mean? Do you want me to open the Jade Palace?” Ye Tianchen asked in astonishment.

”We indeed don’t want anyone to easily open it, but it’s not that we want it to be impossible to open.”

”In any case, we have our own reasons. If you continue, you’re destined to fail.”

The two beautiful clam elves interrupted Ye Tianchen right when he was about to break the Shadowless Divine Array, pointing out his errors, which was unexpected and baffling. It was clear these two clam elves had been guarding the Jade Palace. If they intended for Ye Tianchen and the God Beating Bowl to enter from the start, they could have just opened these formation seals, so why wait until now? What does this mean?

”What’s wrong?” Ye Tianchen thought for a bit before asking.

”The upper left mark should be a bit more to the right—that’s correct!” one of the beautiful clam elves said.

After some thought, Ye Tianchen decided to trust the two clam elves. It wasn’t because he couldn’t resist a pretty face and would obediently listen. To him, these clam elves didn’t seem hostile. Moreover, they knew Ye Tianchen could easily defeat them given his cultivation realm. So why wait until now?

Slowly, Ye Tianchen moved the misaligned mark. When the God Beating Bowl saw this, it almost lunged forward but didn’t, held back by fear of failure as the Shadowless Divine Array might disappear with the Jade Palace. Without reaching the Emperor Realm, traversing the void was virtually impossible — a well-known truth. This explains why, for Ye Tianchen to leave Earth, he must reconstruct an Ancient Transmission Array; roaming the stars wasn’t an option because too many powerful chaotic void streams exist, not something ordinary people can withstand.

”Damn, are you trying to get yourself killed, trusting these two clam elves over me?” the God Beating Bowl couldn’t help but yell angrily.

”What’s the matter? Maybe they’re genuinely trying to help me!” Ye Tianchen earnestly replied.

”Damn it, are you infatuated, or falling into their trap? They would help us? They’re our enemies! Helping us now is just sabotage, not wanting us to genuinely open this Shadowless Divine Array. They’re scared and panicked. Yet, you trust them? I’m bleeding inside!” the God Beating Bowl shouted in frustration.

Indeed, the God Beating Bowl was right, even logically so; anyone would think the same, that these clam elves were guarding the Jade Palace from the start and didn’t want Ye Tianchen and the God Beating Bowl opening it. They activated the Ancient Dark Divine Markings and then left them to break the Shadowless Divine Array, suggesting they wanted Ye Tianchen and the God Beating Bowl to give up. And now, just when Ye Tianchen was about to break the Shadowless Divine Array, these clam elf beauties spoke up, pointing out his mistakes. What was their intention? Were they genuinely helpful? If so, why didn’t they speak earlier? Saying something during the formation breaking implies what? It’s clear—the cowardly God Beating Bowl might have truly found a way to break the Shadowless Divine Array, and the clam elf beauties, being weaker, are trying to mislead Ye Tianchen and the God Beating Bowl. No idiot would trust such a method. Would Ye Tianchen really believe it?

”The initial test is necessary!”

”If you can’t even pass the initial test, you’re not fit to enter the Jade Palace!”

The two clam elf beauties spoke calmly while the God Beating Bowl grumbled, ”Humph, you’re too late to try and mislead us now. I’ve already found the way to break the Shadowless Divine Array. Mess around with me again, and I’ll smash you first!”

”You’re indeed impressive, a rare rune and formation expert, but you’re wrong about this one spot...” one of the clam elf beauties said seriously.

”Cut the crap, watch me smash you...” the God Beating Bowl threatened, preparing to smash toward a clam elf.

Only for Ye Tianchen to stop the God Beating Bowl, then he earnestly said, ”I trust the words of these two beauties. Let’s try it. I’m curious to see how powerful this Shadowless Divine Array truly is!”

Boom!

Just then, a thunderous sound echoed. Without hesitation, having decided to trust the clam elves, Ye Tianchen channeled his dozens of forces into the marked spots by the God Beating Bowl, then focused intently on the Jade Door, uncertain whether it would successfully open or fail, facing unknown dangers.
