"What is happening?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
All the creatures panicked.
Some cultivators soared into the sky one by one to check what was going on.
On the other hand, some strong cultivators also went underground to investigate the situation.
However, they couldn't see Santos and Austin, nor could they see the earth dragons, so they could not
tell what was going on. They could only see the effects, but none of them could see the cause, which
confused them to no end!
"Austin, please guard the most important spots I've told you. You need to stop the earth dragon which
represents the eye of the array from escaping through these spots. I'll go and break the array!"
Santos said to Austin promptly.
"Okay!"
Austin nodded.
Whoosh!
Santos descended underground and rushed with extreme prejudice toward the earth dragon which
represented the eye of the array.
The old compass also floated above Santos' head, emitting a dazzling yellow light like a bright lamp.
Hundreds of flags were floating in the air, emitting powerful aura, and they assisted Santos in his task.
"Bastard! Stop struggle already!"
Santos resembled a god that was coming down from the heavens, as he roared and commanded his
power with elegance.
Boom!
Beneath the ground that was closest to him, an earth dragon turned around and fled immediately.
This earth dragon was the largest among all of its kind.
Moreover, when Santos and Austin arrived above this continent earlier, it had been secretly staring at
them as if it was acting upon somebody's command.
This earth dragon was the center of the Five Elements Array, and it was responsible for maintaining the
operation of this continent.
Once Santos had gone under the ground, Austin moved at once. He immediately landed in a particular
position, the dirt beneath his feet stirring slightly.
This position was one of the vital points of the Five Element Array.
"Go!"
Austin shouted.
As a result, tens of thousands of earth dragons rushed out of the land Austin had created earlier and
circled in the air. They looked magnificent, as they soared through the sky like flowing rainbows.
These earth dragons flew higher and higher above, and then they dived into the ground to defend. At
first, it seemed like they chose random positions, but Austin and Santos could tell they were choosing
these positions for a good reason.
These positions were all vital points of the array.
"Austin, you have done a great job. I'm confident that you will be an excellent Earth Master in the
future, and your achievements will not be inferior to mine!"
Santos praised at the sight of what Austin was doing.
The longer time he spent with Austin, the more he appreciated him.
Boom!
Suddenly, the whole earth was struck with a violent earthquake.
Under the ground, Santos chased after the earth dragon which represented the eye of the array.
Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!
During the chase, Santos repeatedly threw out divine weapons one after another, arranging them in
specific positions.
These divine weapons included bronze coins from the ancient times, an eight diagrams mirror, a purple
gourd, a Layne's Ruler, a spiritual rune seal, etc.
There were so many kinds of them that Austin was amazed at the sight of them.
'Master Santos really lives up to his fame as one of the most powerful Earth Masters from ancient
times. He owns so many precious divine weapons!
Each of them is exquisite to behold, and all of them are powerful enough to wipe out an entire
continent!'
Austin thought to himself.
Austin was almost drooling, as he watched Santos admiringly. He could not wait to be as powerful as
Santos, for only powerful Earth Masters like him could obtain such powerful divine weapons.
After all, everyone knew that Earth Masters could gain more power with the help of specific, powerful
divine weapons.
As Santos threw out more and more legendary divine weapons, the whole underground world began to
change.
Invisible energy walls started to appear, blocking the massive earth dragon's way.
Soon, it had nowhere to go, as every direction had been blocked from its path.
Boom!
At last, it had no choice but to fight with Santos head-on.
Santos was a famous Earth Master, and his Earth Exploring Technique was superb.
How could this earth dragon be his match?
Thus, the battle ended swiftly.
"Freeze!"
The earthly dragon, which represented the eye of the array, was frozen on the spot and unable to move
under Santos's spell.
"We did it!"
Austin exclaimed. He was both amazed to see Santos in action and thrilled that they were successful.
"Yes, we have successfully gained control of the eye of the array. That means that we've broken this
Five Element Array!"
Santos nodded and smiled. He waved his sleeve lightly and put the earth dragon inside.
"Let me tell you, the beginning is always the hardest. After this, we will have a much easier time ahead
of us,"
Santos reassured Austin with a warm smile.
"Master Santos, you look much better now,"
Austin remarked.
Compared to his previously ragged state, Santos looked much more sober now.
"Yes. I know how I look like now.
It is because I'm in a state of consciousness, but such a state only lasts for a short period.
Soon, I will feel muddled again.
Besides, many things have happened in the past, but I can't remember now.
I have lost a lot of memories, and my life has become incomplete,"
Santos sighed in a helpless tone.
However, his melancholy was instantly erased, and the solemn mood over them was suddenly lifted.
Santos' eyes suddenly became sharp, as he stared intently ahead of them with a stern look.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
A figure slowly emerged from the void.
They had the most unexpected visitor!
"It's me, Thad. I'm here for Austin."
