At the most crucial moment, Zi Dong Lai bit his tongue and made a decision.
Even though the Array of Purple Clouds was a treasure left behind by the ancestors, it cannot be compared with thousands of lives. For this reason, he decided to give up this array and instead, save everyone’s lives.
"Elders, listen to my order. Inject all your spiritual energy into the array and defend!" Zi Dong Lai shouted as he transferred all his Qi into the array.
The Elders realized the severity of the situation, and they too unleashed all their spiritual energy in hope that it would be enough to suppress against the power of an original level.
Immediately, more purple cloud emerged and materialized into a nine-sided shield, guarding against the horrifying power of the phoenix.
Boooom!
After an earth-shattering rumble, the entire area began to quake!
