Chapter 351 Sulfur Fire Spirit Explosion Array

……

Before we knew it, three months had quietly passed.

The once quiet Black Forest was once again shattered.

Elder Xuanguang and the others who left back then have now returned with a vengeance.

This time, he brought many elders and disciples of the Taiwei Sect, with various flying boats flying side by side, a grand procession of thousands.

They arrived above the Black Swamp, where the Black Spirit True Lord immediately appeared, and at the same time, the Swamp Dragon broke out of the mud.

Elder Xuanguang took a short step forward and said loudly, "True Lord Black Spirit, now that my Taiwei Sect has descended upon us, if you retreat now, I may spare you. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, my Taiwei Sect has the ability to make this entire Black Swamp vanish along with you!"

As they spoke, the Taiwei Sect members revealed their magical artifacts. Under the blazing summer sun, the flying boat shone brightly, and in an instant, a powerful pressure swept across the land, seemingly trying to intimidate everything.

However, facing such a formidable enemy, Black Spirit True Lord showed no intention of backing down. Instead, he unleashed an even larger spore mist, forming an increasingly dense black cloud that churned in the air, occasionally flashing with tiny, eerie blue light.

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Xuan Guang snorted coldly upon seeing this.

Just as he was about to order everyone to attack, a cry that pierced the heavens and the earth came from the distant horizon.

Immediately afterwards, a giant thunderbird with a wingspan of three hundred feet swooped down from the sky like a meteor.

Its wings were cast in bronze, gleaming with a metallic sheen, each feather wrapped with purple arcs of electricity, and its eyes shone as brightly as a molten gold sun.

"Lei Peng!"

Upon seeing this figure, someone in the crowd couldn't help but blurt out.

This giant thunderbird is none other than the Thunder Roc, one of the overlords that inhabit the Black Forest.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Guang frowned slightly. He never expected Lei Peng to suddenly appear, and it seemed he was there to help True Monarch Hei Ling.

As Lei Peng arrived, it flapped its wings, creating a fierce hurricane that howled and swept towards everyone.

At the same time, the feathers on Lei Peng's wings fell off one by one, turning into sharp lightning arrows that shot towards everyone like a torrential rain.

Faced with this sudden storm of lightning arrows, the expressions of the Taiwei Sect members changed drastically, and they all summoned their respective defensive magical artifacts in an attempt to resist this attack that seemed to be the might of heaven.

On the flying boat, runes flickered, forming layers of light curtains that tightly protected everyone inside.

However, Lei Peng's lightning arrows were incredibly powerful, and even these carefully prepared defenses seemed to be on the verge of collapse, with the crisp sound of magical artifacts shattering coming from time to time.

Elder Xuanguang's eyes sharpened upon seeing this.

"Everyone, form ranks and prepare to meet the enemy!" Elder Xuanfeng of the Taiwei Sect shouted the order from the ranks.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Taiwei Sect quickly adjusted their formation, connecting their spiritual energy according to the formations they had practiced on a daily basis, forming a massive defensive and counter-attack system.

The flying boats arranged in a specific pattern, releasing an even more dazzling light, echoing each other and jointly resisting Lei Peng's fierce offensive.

Seeing this, Black Spirit True Lord took the opportunity to increase the concentration of spore mist, causing the entire battlefield to be shrouded in a thick layer of black clouds.

At the same time, Lei Peng let out a deafening cry, seemingly in response to Black Spirit True Monarch's attack.

Suddenly, it flapped its wings, increasing the force of the hurricane and drawing lightning from the sky, forming thick pillars of lightning that struck the Taiwei Sect's formation like giant dragons.

Faced with such a double attack, another Elder Xuanqing took to the air, and the armor on his arm flew out and disintegrated during the flight, turning into thousands of sword shadows, which collided fiercely with Lei Peng's lightning pillar and Hei Ling Zhenjun's spore mist, bursting out deafening roars.

The battle instantly intensified, with the entire sky above the Black Swamp filled with colorful magical light. Thunder, wind, and the sounds of clashing magical artifacts intertwined, creating a breathtaking battle song.

Such a commotion naturally alerted Wu Wen in the Black Swamp.

He looked up and peered over, only to see that despite the seemingly stalemate in the battle, the Taiwei Sect still had an elder, Xuan Kong, who was secretly setting up an array in the Black Swamp. Wu Wen carefully observed the array he was setting up.

This formation has a circular base as its core, with eight rune channels around it, four in and four out, and a sulfur crystal core embedded in the center.

The moment the formation took shape, Elder Xuan Kong immediately activated and triggered it.

"Sulfurfire Spirit Explosion Formation!"

The moment it was activated, the air currents between heaven and earth suddenly twisted.

Eight rune channels, like blood vessels, spread out from the base of the array, with four input channels gleaming with a reddish-brown rust color.

Under Wu Wen's keen observation, he was surprised to discover that the sulfur and iron elements in the world were being absorbed like a funnel under the influence of the array, flowing like sand through the rune patterns.

The other four output pipes emitted and emitted eerie blue runes, which flickered like breathing.

Suddenly, the central sulfur crystal core burst forth with a blinding yellow light, and countless sulfur-colored rune chains appeared on the crystal surface, forcibly melting the sulfur and iron elements in the air.

The array base began to tremble, and the sulfur and iron elements input into the pipes collided, creating fine sparks that surged along the rune pipes like magma.

As the first wisp of pale blue flame flickered on the surface of the sulfur crystal core, the entire array resonated with a buzzing sound, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

Eight rune channels lit up simultaneously, with crimson and dark blue energies converging at the center to form a sulfur-colored sphere three zhang in diameter. Tiny electric arcs continuously exploded on its surface, each explosion causing dust to fall from the ground and creating shockwaves that spread outwards.

"boom--!"

The sulfur crystal core suddenly exploded into millions of fragments. These fragments did not dissipate, but instead turned into streams of fire that scattered in all directions.

Each spark that landed ignited an area within a radius of ten feet, with dark red flames carrying toxic sulfur dioxide mist that surged and rose.

The explosive energy ejected from the output pipe formed eight ring-shaped shock waves. Wherever they passed, everything, including grass and mycelium, was instantly carbonized, and even rocks cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.

Further away, plants shrouded in the poisonous fog spontaneously combusted, their pale green flames leaping like ghosts, turning the entire black swamp into an eerie yellowish-green hue.

When the last shockwave dissipated, the base of the array had collapsed into a sulfur pit with a diameter of hundreds of feet, and toxic bubbles were still bubbling up from the bottom of the pit.

The power displayed by this formation even affected Wu Wen's location in the deepest part of the Black Swamp.

The Black Swamp was the foundation of the Black Spirit True Monarch, and now it has been so badly damaged. The black clouds floating in the air suddenly seem to have turned into duckweed, losing their original power.

As a result, the dark clouds immediately began to shrink.

The two-pronged attack that the Taiwei Sect members were facing was instantly broken, the pressure was greatly reduced, and they were able to focus all their efforts on dealing with Lei Peng, their only enemy.

Lei Peng immediately took off, letting out a sharp cry, and broke away from the battle.

In the distance, Wu Wen, who was observing the changes in the battle, was focused on analyzing the "Sulfur Fire Spirit Explosion Array" that had just been used.

According to his analysis, the reason why this formation is so powerful is because it is a "chemical energy formation" that utilizes chemical reactions.

The energy conversion involves sulfur, iron, and oxygen elements triggering a combustion reaction that releases high-temperature energy. This energy is then ignited by spark runes, creating a wide-range explosion that outputs sulfur dioxide gas and a shock wave.

Energy can take many forms, including chemical energy.

Although Wu Wen knew that there were array formations with chemical energy within the array system,

But this was truly the first time he had ever seen such a chemical energy array in person.
