The elder fell into contemplation, having scoffed at the array as mediocre before, but knowing that a hundred thousand spirit stones had been spent on it, he was entirely immersed in shock, a shock that was tinged with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He was sure the Array Master who arranged it must be strong, stronger than himself, possessing at least four or five times his spiritual power. Though this was a blow to the elder's confidence, he comforted himself constantly, insisting that regardless of how many spirit stones were spent, it was still an ineffective array. After all, he could construct a Master array himself.
However, after further observation, even the one thing the elder prided himself on got shattered. It wasn't just any array. It seemed like the simplest barrier array, but it was, in reality, a three-layered array. The outermost layer held a barrier, the two inner layers were constantly devouring the Rule.
