Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Boss Battle (part 2)

Shortly after, the trap array crumbles like glass, the containment talismans shattering and losing their glow. The beast roars triumphantly, its aura flaring as it prepares to attack.

Elder Xianthe steps forward, his expression resolute. "I will fight it alone," he declares, his voice unwavering. "You five, prepare the array. Once you are done, join me in the battle."

The others exchange worried glances but nod in agreement. "Yes, Elder Xianthe," Master Lin says, his tone determined.

Elder Xianthe draws his sword, the blade humming with concentrated Qi.

Master Li said, "Remember, the array we need is the Harmonizing Qi Array. It will combine our energies and create an avatar of early-stage Soul-Body Converging. Now go!"

As the others move quickly to prepare the array, Elder Xianthe steps forward to confront the beast. The beast, sensing the challenge, roars again, its eyes glowing with a fiery intensity. It lunges at Elder Xianthe, claws extended.
