As time went on, he gradually discovered some patterns in the array's movements. Seizing an opportunity, he destroyed several spirit stones.
Mo Qi was secretly alarmed. He had placed a total of forty-nine Thunder Spirit Stones and forty-nine Fire Spirit Stones in the array. These spirit stones continuously rotated as the array activated, but Wang Xing had managed to find their movement patterns and gradually destroy them.
If this continued, all the spirit stones would eventually be destroyed by him, and the array's lethality would be progressively weakened.
Although the heavenly lightning and earthly fire could not harm him, they had severely restricted his actions, making him constantly constrained and unable to act freely.
The exquisiteness of the Qian Yuan Golden Light Array lay in its ever-changing nature, its endless variations. Changing just one element could lead to myriad transformations within the array.
Mo Qi pointed a finger into the air, subtly adjusting the position of one of the magical artifacts.
The spirit stones in the center began to flow and rotate silently. When Wang Xing attacked with his techniques again, he no longer managed to strike down any spirit stones.
Wang Xing was greatly annoyed. He had finally discerned some clues, and now, with this change, he had to adapt and re-evaluate.
He dealt with the attacks within the array, and time passed without him knowing how long.
Those outside the arena, however, were acutely aware that over ten days had quietly passed.
These people had their own thoughts. Some wished for Wang Xing's demise, while many more actually hoped that Wang Xing would break through the array and then counter-kill Mo Qi.
At this moment, they inexplicably felt that Wang Xing was being wronged. You clearly couldn't defeat him, and you relied solely on trickery to trap him. That was too much against the code of the martial world.
If it continued like this, even if he won, it would be an unrighteous victory.
It would be true skill if you let him out and then fought him.
Although Wang Xing was trapped within the array, he was not flustered at all.
It was like an elephant facing a siege of ants. What of it?
He continued to face the challenges with composure and analyzed calmly. Soon, he found new patterns in the spirit stones' rotation and knocked down several more.
Mo Qi, while urging the array forward, was contemplating how to eliminate Wang Xing.
He alone had broken through to the seventh tier. If he were allowed to leave unscathed, what would become of the seventh tier's dignity? Would the sanctity of the seventh tier in the eyes of the world still exist? In the eyes of all enemies, would the seventh tier still be considered a hurdle? In the eyes of the gods, would the seventh tier still have a reason to exist?
Therefore, for the expectations of all these people, Wang Xing had to die!
But how to make him die was an extremely difficult problem.
Perhaps, the question itself was invalid.
The array could only trap him. With his current cultivation, he simply couldn't kill the opponent.
It was like a tiger that had lost its combat power standing before a sheep. The sheep could do nothing to it; its teeth were insufficient!
He tried to inject all his lifelong cultivation into the Xuanyuan Sword, but Wang Xing easily neutralized it every time.
He swallowed over a dozen emergency pills in succession, causing his spiritual power to surge by hundreds of times. However, this only made Wang Xing stumble a few times within the array, barely injuring him.
Wang Xing became increasingly arrogant: "Hahaha, what now? What do you think you can do to me?"
"I love seeing you hate me but unable to kill me."
"You can exert all your strength, but it's only enough to tickle me. This is the gap between us."
"Bring out whatever moves you have. I'm in the mood to play with you now. Once I break free, you won't even have the chance to tickle me."
A fierce glint appeared in Mo Qi's eyes. He grabbed a handful of emergency pills from his storage bag, estimating there to be nearly a hundred.
Consuming these hundred emergency pills would undoubtedly unleash thousands of times the power.
But at the same time, his body would surely not be able to withstand it, and he might even explode.
He suddenly thought of Little Dot.
Little Dot's bodily functions were special. It had a very strong ability to adapt to power. However, if it consumed such potent pills, who could guarantee that no accidents would occur?
He released Little Dot and decided to seek its opinion: "Little Dot, I have a very powerful enemy now whom I cannot deal with. I need to borrow your strength. You can only contend with him after consuming these pills, but after consuming them, there might be some unexpected consequences. In this situation, are you still willing to help me?"
Little Dot could fully understand his words. Upon hearing them, it nodded without hesitation, looking endearingly clumsy.
Then Mo Qi spread out his hand, and Little Dot swallowed all the pills in one go.
Under Mo Qi's watchful gaze, Little Dot's body suddenly expanded, instantly becoming as large as a small mountain, giving the impression of obscuring the sun and covering the sky.
With every step it took, the ground shook.
Its roar was also earth-shattering.
"What is that?" people gazed at the colossal creature, whispering to each other with surprised eyes. "Is that a summoning spell?"
Wang Xing also saw Little Dot, but his expression only shifted slightly before returning to normal.
He had seen countless demonic beasts of this size, and he had personally dispatched quite a few.
His experience told him that such large demonic beasts were all show and no substance.
Therefore, he disdained it.
However, he did not want to engage with it. He wanted to take advantage of Mo Qi withdrawing the Xuanyuan Sword and sending Little Dot in to break out of the array.
But unexpectedly, although Little Dot was enormous, its movements were incredibly swift. It instantly appeared before Wang Xing.
Little Dot's eyes glowed crimson, its massive maw wide open, its fangs exposed like swords and halberds, emitting a dazzling cold light. It let out a sky-shattering roar, causing the surroundings to tremble.
In Wang Xing's terrified gaze, Little Dot crashed into him.
Seeing the momentum, Wang Xing thought to leap aside to dodge, but the moment the thought arose, he was knocked over.
The power of a great mountain, how immense it was.
Wang Xing's body felt as if it were about to fall apart.
As he struggled to get up, Little Dot opened its mouth and spat out a stream of black energy that surged towards Wang Xing.
The black energy was like an overwhelming force, roaring and surging forward.
Judging by its momentum, it seemed capable of devouring the sky and swallowing the earth, unstoppable.
Wang Xing's expression changed. He felt pressure unlike anything he had experienced before.
With no way to evade, he could only hastily form hand seals, sending countless blade-like hand shadows to meet the black energy.
Upon contact, the blade shadows were instantly swallowed by the black energy.
The black energy continued to advance, engulfing Wang Xing in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding onlookers witnessed Wang Xing transform from a human figure into a skeleton, then into ashes, and finally scatter with the wind.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The arrogant and overbearing Earthling Wang Xing was gone just like that?
The crowd could not believe this fact, yet fact it was!
Little Dot charged wildly, letting out roars, seemingly having gone berserk.
It roared and furiously charged towards the great hall.
Its momentum was unstoppable, destined to break through the hall and bring it crashing down.
Mo Qi hurriedly formed a hand seal and pointed, causing the surrounding light barrier to erect itself once more.
Little Dot's body slammed into the light barrier. The barrier rapidly caved in, emitting a loud ringing sound, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
It was easy for it to enter, but exiting would trigger the array.
Little Dot roared furiously, charging forward like a madman, causing the entire array to shake violently.
Almost simultaneously, Mo Qi pointed at the Xuanyuan Sword. The sword emitted a golden light and struck Little Dot fiercely.
Little Dot cried out in pain, its charging momentum decreasing. The light barrier rebounded, carrying Little Dot's body and sliding it backward slowly.
Little Dot had thick skin and tough flesh. The sword light from the Xuanyuan Sword struck its body, but it remained completely unharmed. However, its size kept shrinking; with each blow, it became smaller.
Until it returned to its original size, Mo Qi pointed at the Xuanyuan Sword again, and the sword light vanished.
Not only did Little Dot's size return to normal, but its eyes also regained their previous friendliness, and its demeanor reverted to its former clumsy and adorable state.
The fifth time, Dugu Sheng and Qi Yueyun stood there for a long time, utterly shocked.
They still hadn't recovered and couldn't believe that Mo Qi had managed to eliminate Wang Xing.
The sounds of commotion from the lower tiers finally brought them back to their senses, realizing that all of this was indeed true.
Mo Qi withdrew the array and slowly walked up to the three of them, Dugu Sheng and the others, saying, "The three of you, go and capture Ouyang Zhu, Hai Zheng, and Sang Lanfeng for me."
Needless to say, it was time for settling scores.
The three hesitated for a moment before darting away.
They didn't believe Mo Qi could chop these three down. At most, he would say a few words, warn them not to do it again, and then everything would be fine.
Ouyang Zhu and the other two cooperated by following Dugu Sheng and the others to the seventh tier, even tying them securely with immortal pháp ropes.
Mo Qi sat at the head of the hall, his gaze sternly sweeping over the three.
"What do you want with us?" Hai Zheng said imperiously.
If I don't put on a show, how will others know my authority?
"Do the three of you know your crimes?" Mo Qi's eyes were like knives, piercing directly into the hearts of the three.
