"All right. Thank you," Ricky gratefully told Enoch.
He was glad that they had come to a compromise. After all, he would be the one at a disadvantage if
they had to fight, as he was no match for Enoch's strength, not even if he teamed up with Mordechai.
"You don't have to thank me. I lost the bet, so it's only right that I pay for it," Enoch answered.
Now that Ricky had won, Enoch intended to leave, leading the other disciples of the Brilliant Array Sect.
But as he was about to go, purple lines appeared in the void where the broken array had been.
Immediately after, the powerful array power gushed out like a badly bleeding wound.
Enoch instantly assessed it and realized that the array power was equal to that of a middle spiritual
emperor. Knowing this, he immediately shouted a warning to his companions.
"Get back! All of you, get away from the array!"
The array power held immense energy that it would undoubtedly hurt any warrior who came in contact
with it, especially if the person was weaker than a middle spiritual emperor.
The terrifying purple lines spread all over the place, and a huge triangle array abruptly formed.
The triangle array exuded an old aura, which told them that it had been set up a long time ago. It had
an incredible sealing power.
Perhaps, because the array had been deployed for too long and was now running out of energy, its
power seemed weaker than that of a one-star middle spiritual emperor at the intermediate stage.
"So, there is an array inside the array," Enoch murmured to himself as he pensively stared at the array.
"That sealing array is inside the illusion array! Could it be that there's something else sealed in this
array?" Ricky couldn't help but speculate.
He exchanged a meaningful glance with Enoch, which communicated what they were planning to each
other. They came to an understanding at once, deciding to work together to break the array.
It was because they were both curious about what was under this sealing array.
Without wasting any time, they rushed to the opposite sides of the array. Almost at the same time,
purple lines emerged on their foreheads and extended all over their bodies.
"Ricky, can you please locate the vital points of this array with your Eyes of Heaven and Earth? I'll
provide back up and protect you if the array tries to attack you while you are checking this," Enoch
requested.
Ricky nodded in agreement. He immediately merged his array power with the Golden Spirit Eyes and
began to search for the vital points of the sealing array.
Unfortunately, it wasn't an illusion array, so he had some difficulty finding its vital points.
To make matters worse, the array even attacked him.
But, thankfully, Enoch was there to save the day, as he successfully resisted its attacks for Ricky.
Despite the excellent back-up, it took Ricky six long hours to find all its vital parts. He spotted five in
total.
Soon after, Ricky filled Enoch in on where these vital points were located, and the duo attacked them
together. After countless relentless attacks, they successfully broke the array.
The second the pair destroyed the array, a violent earthquake began to shake the entire ancient
battlefield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the warriors in the ancient battlefield, including them, felt the ground tremble beneath their feet as if
space was about to fall apart at any moment.
It seemed like the end of the world!
In no time, more and more arrays started to merge around the one that Ricky and Enoch had
destroyed. All of them were sealing arrays. Some had incredibly strong powers, while some were
weaker.
If one looked from a bird's eye view, those arrays formed a huge circle.
The circle occupied a third of the ancient battlefield.
At the same time the circle was forming, huge cracks surfaced on the ground.
They expanded and formed a circular abyss, isolating one-third of the ancient battlefield from the rest
of its territory.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When all the arrays had fully materialized, they exploded at the same time and wrecked a better part of
the space. An invisible force in the void flowed down the abyss, as a gigantic shadow instantaneously
appeared.
Upon a closer look, Ricky and Enoch saw that big battle platforms had emerged, connecting to each
other.
In other words, a huge battle platform that covered one-third of the ancient battlefield came into their
view, and it was divided into smaller platforms connected by walkways.
"What—what's happening?" Ricky and Enoch murmured in confusion, as both were thunderstruck by
the sudden turn of events.
Neither of them had seen this coming. They had simply broken a small array, but it seemed to have
caused such a pandemonium.
At this point, all the people on the ancient battlefield had turned their attention to the huge battle
platform that appeared so mysteriously.
All their faces were frozen in shock like an uncanny tableau.
Even the warriors at the Sage Level who were waiting outside the ancient battlefield were astounded
by the scene.
Meanwhile, the two figures floating cross-legged in the air were also taken aback.
"That's the ancient arena!" Multiple gasps of surprise sounded in the place, as the warriors stared at
the huge platform with amazed, flabbergasted expressions.
One after another, the shocked warriors in the ancient battlefield came back to their senses and
recognized the huge platform.
"Oh my god! It is indeed the ancient arena," someone exclaimed in disbelief.
"So that's the ancient arena! I can't believe it had been here all this time, just hidden in the ancient
battlefield!"
another warrior commented when he heard this.
"Brat, do you know what that is? That's the ancient arena!" the Dragon Intent Grass exclaimed with
emotion, evidently as surprised as the rest of the crowd.
Ricky turned to look at Enoch.
"I can't believe we're so lucky. We broke an ordinary sealing array together and fortuitously found the
long unaccounted for ancient arena," he murmured happily as he smiled at Enoch.
"We must be destined to find this arena," Enoch replied with an answering smile.
No one knew when the ancient arena was built, but legends had it that powerful creatures from the
continent and the devil race worked together to create it. Some stories even claimed that holy beings
also took part in that.
A single glance at the ancient arena showed countless massive, artificial-looking rocks. They were the
Rock of Heaven and Earth. Even spiritual potentates close to becoming holy beings couldn't leave a
scratch on them.
In ancient times, a war broke out between the continent creatures and the devil race, which had lasted
tens of thousands of years, and both sides suffered great losses.
Later on, the powerful creatures from both sides opted to create this huge arena.
Every Rock of Heaven and Earth in this arena was a battle ring. It was so sturdy that even spiritual
potentates wouldn't be able to destroy it.
Once the arena was finished, all the saints and spiritual potentates from both sides entered it, forming
groups of two and dueling each other.
And their fight would go on until one of them had killed their opponent.
Rumor had it that the fighting became so fierce that it didn't end until the whole arena had traveled from
the Devil Land to the continent a dozen times so they could fight on the arena. In the end, the creatures
from the continent took the victory, and the devil race returned to the Devil Land.
Despite the success, the battle was tragic.
None of the devil race's powerful creatures made it out of the arena alive, while only one powerful
warrior from the continent made it through alive.
Objectively speaking, neither of the two parties had won.
It turned out that the one who won after countless fights still sustained too much damage and didn't live
longer than a few more days before he perished.
Since then, the arena had vanished, never to be seen again—at least, until today.
Judging from the current situation, it was likely that this powerful warrior from the continent who had
made it out of the arena live had sealed the arena here just before he died.
And as time went by, the array's power gradually began to grow weaker.
Luckily, Ricky and Enoch happened to break the array, which led the missing arena to appear once
again.
Everyone stared at the arena in amazement.
"Those ancestors who fought off the devil race truly deserve our respect!" Enoch remarked admiringly
as he stared at the arena.
