At the center of the formation, there stood a dark magical vessel vastly larger than the others, its upper half enveloped in a gentle aura of magic, within which faintly visible were several masked magical beings dressed similarly to the others. Yet, the magic emanating from these beings clearly carried a stronger presence than that of the magicians aboard the other flying vehicles. "How much longer until we reach Li Mu-Mian City! After finally dispatching the three senior cultivators of the opposing side, I've endured great costs to evade the Li Clan's notice and quietly returned to the Spirit Realm. Therefore, this mission must succeed—there can be no failure!" A deep, resonant voice suddenly echoed from within the vessel. "Reporting to Lord Tun-Tian, at the current pace, we should reach Li Mu-Mian City in approximately fifteen days," replied another man, speaking with the utmost respect. "Hmph. Not good enough. We're moving too slowly. Yuan-Sha and the others may not be able to hold off those three elders for long. Increase our speed—we must reach Li Mu-Mian City within ten days." As long as the sacred tree of the Woodfolk within the city is destroyed, the Woodfolk will naturally have no means to protect their remaining territories. The significance of that tree to the Woodfolk far exceeds your imagination," the elderly voice stated matter-of-factly. "But Lord Thun Tian, our current speed is already at the maximum concealment pace of 'Arc-Moon Express'—if we attempt to increase it further, we may well be detected by the Woodfolk's spies." The man replied hesitantly. "No matter! The alien armies are now beginning to collapse, retreating and consolidating their forces in all directions. As long as we remain cautious, we should be safe. Moreover, with me personally stationed here, how could the Woodfolk's scouts survive to carry their messages back if they are discovered?" The elderly voice chuckled coldly. "With Lord Thun Tian personally stepping in, there's no doubt we'll succeed. I shall immediately relay this order!" The magical race man exclaimed with great relief. A moment later, the black magical vessel and all the flying chariots trembled, their speed suddenly increasing dramatically, yet a low hum began to rise, breaking the previously silent stillness. ... Seven days later, while seated beneath the towering giant tree, Han Li suddenly stirred, his eyes snapping open as they had been tightly closed. At the same instant, the man and woman seated on either side of him also awoke from their meditative states. All three remained silent, turning their gaze simultaneously toward a high point in the sky. Within just a few breaths, a rushing sound echoed from the far end of the sky! A streak of emerald light flashed, and a sword-like beam several feet long shot forth, swiftly moving and then heading directly toward the giant tree deep within the valley. Han Li narrowed his eyes, then, without a word, extended his hand toward the distant sky. The sword beam swiftly reached the valley's upper air, spiraling once before descending to land at the base of the giant tree. Han Li grasped his five fingers, condensed the green light, and instantly manifested a slender, jade-hued sword phantom in his hand—within it, a white jade scroll was clearly enclosed. He then rubbed his palms together, dispersing the green glow, leaving only the compact jade scroll. Using two fingers, he lifted the scroll and placed it gently upon his forehead, instantly probing into its essence with his divine awareness. Beside him, Cao Ji and Fei Xiao Xi silently turned their gaze toward the scene. After a brief moment, Han Li unfolded the scroll and handed it over to the wood-clan giant, then spoke calmly. "One hour from now, the demonic army will officially enter the array. The entire Jue Array will be activated within half a day, drawing upon the power of the Wood Realm to encircle and ultimately kill two-thirds of the demonic forces." "The demons have indeed been deceived. As long as we eliminate this entire contingent within the array, even if our allied forces cannot reclaim the occupied territories, the demonic forces will suffer a severe blow—rendered unable to launch a new offensive for an extended period." After reviewing the jade scroll, Grass Ji also beamed with joy and handed the scroll to Fei Xiao Xi. "Then, we will follow the orders and promptly activate the array's power at the appointed time. As long as all thirty-six array groups ignite simultaneously, the demonic beings trapped within the great array will surely be annihilated." Upon scanning the scroll with her divine awareness, Fei Xiao Xi smiled gently. "Of course. However, once all the array restrictions are fully activated, we here will be able to enter but no longer exit—so I expect everyone to remain on high alert, especially vigilant." Han Li glanced at her, then issued a quiet instruction. "Agreed. I will immediately issue orders and personally reassign personnel arrangements," Grass Ji replied without hesitation. Since the garrison forces here were primarily composed of the wooden race, it made sense for the wooden cultivator to issue the directives personally. "Then, shall I check the status of the restrictions and see if there are any overlooked issues or inconsistencies?" "Lady Xiao Xi also proposed it," said the lady. "Very well, then, thank you both for your efforts. With me stationed here, should either of you detect any anomalies, please inform me immediately," said Han Li, nodding without hesitation. Thus, the large Han from the Wood Clan and the Night Guard woman both rose and took to the air, flying off. Han Li remained seated beneath the tree, closing his eyes once more, his expression calm and composed, as if the approaching army of the demonic clans had never even entered his mind. The various magical clans already incorporated into the spell array, whether riding flying vehicles or employing their own flight techniques, suddenly lost all functionality beneath the invisible, spatial barriers and plummeted from the sky in an instant. Only the magical beings at the Lingxu stage or above could still maintain a fragile suspension in the upper air, though they now expended several times more spiritual energy than usual and were unable to ascend significantly. While most of the magical clans, known for their resilience, sustained only minor injuries upon landing from the heights, the sudden upheaval caused immediate chaos among them. In contrast, the allied forces of the non-magical races had anticipated this development from the very beginning. At the precise moment the sky-sealing barriers emerged, they had already begun descending to the ground. Amidst the forest of Lin Hai, countless green lights flickered, and the once-dense ranks of allied troops vanished instantly. Even the combined spiritual awareness of the high-stage magical clan leaders, scanning across the forest from above, yielded no results, leaving them astonished and furious. As many as several million elven beings were deeply ensnared within the forest realm, yet at first, they could not find a single enemy to face. But then, the terrifying power of the Wood Realm's grand array began to unfold. Suddenly, an inexplicable, eerie ripple surged simultaneously from the centers of thirty-six array clusters, spreading swiftly across every corner of the forest lands. Pure, refined wood qi materialized spontaneously among the trees and rushed in torrents into certain towering specimens. A thunderous roar erupted! The colossal trees rose without any prior sign, then shimmered with a vibrant jade glow, transforming into towering tree-people, each reaching nearly a hundred paces in height. With mighty arms sweeping forward, they charged directly into the ranks of the demonic forces, delivering devastating blows. Moreover, trees near the demonic armies, even if only partially absorbed wood qi, also began to flourish—some swaying their branches to sweep across the enemy lines, others transforming into solid trunks that crashed down with tremendous force. The magical beings were caught off guard, instantly emitting cries of pain and suffering heavy losses. However, many high-ranking magical beings trapped within the great array reacted swiftly and issued orders, prompting well-trained troops from various locations to gather in coordinated groups—some jointly summoning magical artifacts, others forming intricate magical arrays—and thus temporarily stabilizing the front lines. Yet, as the Three-Six Heavens Immovable Array, a cornerstone of the entire magical lineage, was not meant to exhibit only this level of power, almost immediately after the magical beings had cleared out the massive wooden figures and surrounding trees in a steady wave of advance, a surge of emerald waves swept across the sky, followed by a sudden gust of fierce wind. One after another, towering white whirlwinds materialized, then coalesced and rolled into massive wind dragons, which then lunged down with powerful force, their mouths open and bodies coiled, to strike the lower-ranked magical forces. After the wind dragons passed through! Innumerable emerald leaves suddenly materialized in the sky, emitting clear, resonant sounds before transforming into sharp blades, rushing down in a deluge of fierce attacks... With over a dozen such consecutive spells of relentless assault, half a million demonic warriors were instantly slain. Those who remained were either exceptionally powerful or protected by high-ranking, spiritually adept demons; otherwise, they could not have endured such devastating strikes. Though the Wood Realm's array was remarkably ingenious and potent, launching such a broad-scale attack against so many demons demanded an immense expenditure of energy. Even with vast reserves of spiritual stones, numerous spiritual veins, and the thirty-six sacred trees on its back providing pure spiritual power, the array eventually grew weary after these consecutive waves of attacks—unable to sustain further offensive actions, it could only勉强 maintain the encircling effect, gradually waiting for energy to recover. At the array's current rate of energy absorption, the next wave of attack would not occur until at least half a day later! …Beyond the Wooden Realm's immovable array, the demonic forces merely perceived a flash of green light, and instantly, a thick, solid green aura materialized silently—like a celestial canopy—separating them from their kin ahead and severing all contact. Naturally, the demons grew both astonished and furious. Under the leadership of several high-ranking mages, they immediately launched attacks against the barrier, believing that with such unified force, the array would surely withstand only for a short while. Yet, just as they were about to strike, a sudden flash of white light appeared before the vast canopy, and countless immense arrays materialized out of nowhere. "Unbelievable! Quickly attack—this is a teleportation array!" Some of the senior demons reacted swiftly and instantly identified the origin of these arrays, shouting in alarm. However, their commands had already come too late! After a brief shimmer of soft, luminous white light within the arrays, countless human figures emerged seemingly from thin air, filling the sky in overwhelming numbers. Instantly, the sounds of battle erupted. The Allied forces surged forward without hesitation toward these remaining magical army units.
