Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Chapter 134: Ape God (Seeking monthly ticket)_2

The lizard demon’s excavation was tremendously efficient; before long, a large hole had been dug out, revealing beneath the turtle shell fire pit a circular pillar.

Its exact depth was unknown.

But the visible portion already measured over ten feet.

Clawed onto the pillar were numerous intricate lines; those were all array patterns.

After a prolonged digging, the entire pillar had finally been unearthed.

Roughly thirty feet deep.

And at the bottom of the solid array pile was a massive stone, how it connected to the pile was a mystery, with almost no seams visible, as if it were one solid piece.

The entire solid array pile radiated spirit light, emitting a hissing sound.

"What a treasure, if this were brought back to Divine Sword Sect, it could certainly be used as the foundation for an array."

Li Qian thought to himself.

Unfortunately, the solid array pile was too large.

Even the black iron ring could not contain it.

Furthermore, such solid array piles, there were at least five within the ancient relics.

As to whether there were more solid array piles, that remained unknown.

After all, his current location was merely the periphery of the ancient relics.

Inside, there might be even more powerful arrays.

Next, Li Qian found the other four solid array piles, commanding the lizard demon, this free labor, to dig them all out.

Of course, unearthing them did not imply that the array had been deciphered.

Li Qian stood before one of the solid array piles, which was a Foundation-Attracting Array.

It also was the most crucial base array in the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution; all Lion Camel Ridge Formations required this Foundation-Attracting Array as the core.

The Foundation-Attracting Array was specifically for gathering Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

An array needs Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to operate.

Of course, Primordial Stones could also be used.

But for long-term arrays, relying on Primordial Stones was definitely not viable.

Once the Primordial Stones were exhausted, they must be replaced.

Such ancient relics, which have existed for who knows how long, can still operate normally, because they can attract both Heaven and Earth Essence Qi as well as Earthly Evil Qi.

Otherwise, powered by Primordial Stones, they would have failed long ago.

Li Qian took a deep breath, waved his hand, and four base array plates flew out, encircling the solid array pile.

Under his control, the four array plates gradually took over the functions of the other four solid array piles.

Of course, this was on a small scale.

However, what Li Qian wanted was precisely this effect.

"Knock it down."

Li Qian suddenly issued the command.

The enormous lizard demon cooperated well, charging fiercely and striking the solid array pile.

A resounding boom echoed.

The entire solid array pile violently shook.

Accompanied by the sound of cracking... the whole solid array pile broke off from the joint and collapsed thunderously.

At the moment of collapse, a terrifying burst of Earthly Evil Qi exploded from the base of the solid array pile, striking the lizard demon.

In an instant, the lizard demon let out a shrill roar, its protective demon energy instantly torn apart, its body reduced to tatters as it was blasted away.

Falling in the distance, its form was a blur of flesh and blood.

Even the bluish-black bones were exposed, and organs spilled out.

Immediately after, the lizard demon’s body rapidly shrank, reverting to its original size of just over a meter long.

Li Qian inhaled sharply at this sight.

He hadn’t anticipated that such terrifying Earthly Evil Qi had accumulated beneath the solid array pile.

This Earthly Evil Qi was clearly a force drawn by the array.

Upon the collapse of the solid array pile, it would instantly burst forth; this was, in fact, the unique Earth Sinking Array of the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution.

The Array Master who arranged the arrays within this ancient relic must have been lacking in skill, only managing to arrange the Five Base Array but unable to integrate the Trap Base Array into the Great Array. Hence, they could only combine the Trap Base Array with the Foundation-Attracting Array, resulting in an extremely dangerous Earth Sinking Array.

If anyone dared to destroy this Foundation-Attracting Array, they would be obliterated by the Earthly Evil Qi that had accumulated for an unknown number of years.

"Luckily, I have a deep understanding of the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution, otherwise I would have been the one to push down the solid array pile and be attacked by the Earth Sinking Array."

Li Qian thought to himself.

The power unleashed by that Earth Sinking Array just now was no less than a Heavenly Phenomenon Strike.

That lizard demon, after undergoing demonization, possessed strength comparable to an Intermediate Heavenly Person, yet it stood no chance and was instantly killed.

"It’s really quite regrettable; I didn’t actually want to kill you."

Li Qian could feel that the life essence of the lizard demon had completely vanished.

Then with a grasp of his hand, he pulled out a sesame seed-sized demon stone from the lizard demon’s body.

Its color was grey-black.

Clearly, the quality was quite ordinary.

And the stone was small, hardly containing much energy.

But from this demon stone, it could be seen that the lizard was indeed a demon.

At this moment, the entire Great Array began to disintegrate.
