As Liam made the grim realization, the other acolytes seemed to figure it out as well.
'We can't even disable the Array,' Liam thought as he scanned the ground.
Faint white lines were drawn beneath Liam's feet, which grew in number and complexity as it neared the Inner Ring, then eventually converged towards the Patriarch's Grand Pavilion.
That fact meant that most of the Temple's forces were no longer able to provide any support.
Most Acolytes had Rank 2 bodies, and they already had difficulty breathing within the Outer Ring.
Disciples were a Rank higher than them, but without the special training methods of the Verdant Warrior Sect, even they suffered the Array's effect.
Only the Shadows and Liam were doing fine.
Most Shadows had Rank 4 bodies, or cultivating them.
Liam's Rank 3 body was in the upper-stage, and he was even nearing the peak. Not to mention, he had a superior Ashura physique.
