Just as Qingfeng prepared to step into the Fire Monarch Mountain, a ray of red thin light flashed above. The thin layer was a defensive light beam; with a 'bang' sound, it bounced Qingfeng's body back.

Qingfeng frowned and said, "Half-saint array, who knew there would be one here?"

Just as his voice ended, rounds of loud laughter came from the front, filled with wild arrogance.

An elder appeared from within the Fire Monarch Mountain, he wore red and unleashed a great presence, as he stood tall with a straight back. His face was rosy red, as he looked coldly at Qingfeng who was on the outside. 

"Qingfeng Li, how dare you come to our Fire Monarch Mountain today and battle with our master? Just with your power? You're not worthy. Let's see if you can even pa.s.s through me first." The elder in red looked at Qingfeng before him with a face full of arrogance.

Qingfeng lightly smiled, looked at him with disdain and said, "Who are you, what's your name?"

The elder in red roared with laughter and said, "I'm the Third Elder of Fire Monarch Mountain, I've set this flame saint array. Are you able to crack it?"

Numerous self-cultivators gathered all around the Fire Monarch Mountain. When they all recognized the elder in red, their faces slightly changed.

"Did you see? That elder in red is the Third Elder of Fire Monarch Mountain and is also an array formation master. He can arrange the flame saint formation. One wouldn't be able to crack it unless they are at the saint level."

"Of course I know, the half-saint array formation has been utilized in the Fire Monarch Mountain for a hundred thousand years. No one has ever cracked it before, I don't think that Qingfeng can do it either."

"That's right, Qingfeng is only twenty-some years old, and although he is very powerful, it was all due to luck. How experienced could he be in array formations?"

All the self-cultivators had no confidence in Qingfeng, because they knew that it would take countless years and experience to become an array formation master. If not several hundred or several thousand years of experience, then it might even take tens of thousands of years.

However these self-cultivators had no clue that Qingfeng's master was the Dark Night Emperor, who was an ancient saint and also a saint array formation master. He has taught Qingfeng a lot about array formations, so Qingfeng was very experienced in array formation, and as his power increased, his array formation has reached the half-saint level.

Qingfeng looked at this Third Elder once and said with disdain, "How could a mere half-saint array formation stop me? I'll crack it now to show you."

He could even crack a saint level array formation in the Mystic Sun Realm, so how could he be trapped by a half-saint array formation?

He activated his Clairvoyance to released golden light that punctured inside the array formation before him, in search of flaws.

Shortly after, Qingfeng found the flaws in the array formation, and then little red dots appeared in the five spots of either bottom, top, left, and right areas on the array formation.

These red little dots moved around nonstop, and the red elder behind it was the one who controlled the array formation.

Qingfeng moved his intent to take out his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd, as it turned into two colors, and cracked open the half-saint seal.

Qingfeng forcefully pierced forward at the five areas with his Yin-Yang Sky Halberd, and with a 'clash' sound, it suddenly pierced on top of those red dots and with a loud 'clash' sound, those light dots exploded upon impact.

Numerous cracks appeared on the light beam, like a spider web that spread outwards. With a loud 'bang' sound, the flame saint formation exploded under everyone's shocked eyes.

All the self-cultivators saw this, and they were shocked and dumbfounded.

They had just all said that it was impossible for Qingfeng to crack the Third Elder's flame saint array, but who knew that he would be able to crack it in the blink of an eye, without any ha.s.sle. This proved them all wrong immensely, as everyone's faces turned red without any words.

Behind the Fire Monarch Mountain, the Third Elder's face swelled up in redness, as he spat out blood. He used his spirit energy to control the array formation, and now that Qingfeng destroyed it, his body was even slightly wounded.
