Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 250 - 191: Everything’s in Chaos

"What is this?!"

Zhang Yao was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion arising in his heart.

But after taking a closer look, he quickly noticed that those three faces were quite familiar, and the crimson gold ring, flying sword, and seal gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Isn't this crimson gold ring the magical treasure of True Yang Ancestor? And that flying sword..."

Upon noticing this, Zhang Yao felt a sudden jolt in his heart:

"Could this be a Golden Core Incarnation?"

With faces resembling the three Golden Core Ancestors and wielding their magical treasures, his first thought was of a Golden Core Incarnation.

But typically, a Golden Core Incarnation can only correspond to a Golden Core level cultivator, and without the support of a Golden Core or realm, its pure magical power is only at the level of Foundation Establishment Perfection and cannot wield magical treasures.

Yet the Golden Core Incarnation before him, not only had three faces, but also emitted an extraordinarily powerful and terrifying aura, faintly breaking through the limits of the Foundation Establishment stage, and could also utilize Golden Core treasures, clearly not a normal incarnation.

"This is probably one of the trump cards of True Yang Ancestor and the others."

A hint of understanding arose in Zhang Yao's heart:

"It seems that my concealment and misdirection worked, making them mistakenly believe that Yu Wen Tai is hidden within the Five Elements Secret Realm, hence they deployed this countermeasure."'

"With such powerful targeted measures, it's no wonder they dared to regard the Five Elements legacy in the core area as a sure thing, without fearing the situation spiraling out of control..."

And in the brief moment he pondered:

"Boom!"

The three-faced being within the mini-world took a glance around, instantly maneuvered the escape light and soared towards the southern end.

Seeing this, Zhang Yao's complexion slightly changed. Without a word, he activated his divine thought, issuing commands through the Array Core, directly sealing off the mini-world.

"Boom!"

The three-faced being crashed into the space barrier, being repelled back, standing there in a daze.

"Phew..."

Zhang Yao exhaled, his expression relaxing significantly.

Under normal circumstances, the strength of a Golden Core Incarnation would far exceed Foundation Establishment Perfection, but it would likely still be no match for a freak like Yu Wen Tai, so Zhang Yao had no need to overly fear it.

But this three-faced Golden Core Incarnation emitted such terrifying magical power and could wield Golden Core treasures, its battle strength was likely extremely formidable, leaving Zhang Yao without confidence to defeat it in combat.

Allowing such an unprecedented Golden Core Incarnation to get involved might well overturn the situation.

"Luckily, I control the Array Core, enjoying a significant home advantage, otherwise dealing with this would truly be troublesome."

Zhang Yao glanced at the flustered Golden Core Incarnation, withdrawing his divine thought:

"Now... you might as well stay well within this prison."

......

"Boom!"

The three-faced being again crashed into the space barrier, retreating several dozen feet, left utterly bewildered.

"What's going on?!"

He looked around, unsure and suspicious:

"Why can't we exit or trigger spatial teleportation? Could it be we're being rejected by the secret realm?"

"Surely not... our level of magical power hasn't surpassed Golden Core, so we shouldn't be repelled by the rules of the secret realm."

"Right, if we were truly being repelled, we probably wouldn't have even been able to enter..."

In the midst of the three-faced being's self-inquiry, True Yang Ancestor's consciousness had already deliberated a few times, ultimately agreeing:

The current unforeseen situation undoubtedly harbors reasons they are unaware of.

"What now? If we can't traverse and leave, this Soulless Incarnation would be wasted!"

"If worse comes to worst... perhaps we could try activating the magical treasures to see if we can break through this space barrier or trigger it to operate again?"

"That's probably impossible, this space-partition array is definitely level four, even a Nascent Soul Great True Master might not be able to break it, let alone us..."

The three ancestors felt a hint of anxiety, not having anticipated such an unexpected situation, continuing to discuss countermeasures and engage in self-rescue actions.

They attempted to damage the mini-world's components, failed;

They attempted to stimulate the space barrier to operate again, to no effect;

They attempted to locate the Spirit Pattern Array Vein to find flaws in the array, also failed;

They tried using the magical treasures' power to connect with their true forms, also to no avail...

As each plan was refuted or failed, they ultimately had only one last resort:

Remain stationary within this mini-world for an extended period, attempting to trigger the array's teleportation mechanism to automatically transport them out of the secret realm.

To reach the affiliated mini-world requires continual traversal; but leaving it should be simple, by simply not traversing mini-worlds anymore, though it's still uncertain whether it will work for them.

"How did it come to this..."

True Yang Ancestor and the others, while waiting, continued to discuss this matter, their moods quite sour.

After waiting for a full hour and still finding no signs of change, True Yang Ancestor and the others realized they were facing the worst scenario – they were completely trapped within this mini-world.

Now, the three became anxious.

If the Soulless Incarnation couldn't function as intended, the consequences would be unimaginable:

Imagine Yu Wen Tai's power, lurking within the affiliated mini-world waiting to reap the rewards, could lead to a massacre ensuring victory, what role would they even play?

Should Yu Wen Tai seize the fruits of victory, allowing him to enter the core area to control the Array Core, it would render the mighty Soulless Incarnation useless, ending as a futile effort.

Wouldn't their meticulous planning over the past hundred years become a mere joke then?

"...Wait! The Array Core?!"

The Three Mountains Ancestor, both anxious and frustrated, suddenly thought of something, exclaiming:

"Could it be that Yu Wen Tai has already taken control of the Array Core and noticed our Soulless Incarnation, deliberately trapping us here?"
