With the help of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array, the giant black hand finally collapsed, clearly having exhausted its energy and unable to cause any further damage to the Sacred Rune Array.

"We won?"

Someone asked incredulously.

"Not yet!" Yao Tianji shook his head: "Although the energy of that giant hand has been exhausted, the energy of the Holy Rune Array is almost depleted, and it can't withstand another attack."

Yao Tianji's face looked extremely grim.

He was extremely exhausted. Although he had blocked the enemy's fatal attack, he didn't know how to defend himself next. At this moment, the energy of the Holy Rune Array was almost completely depleted.

"What can we do? We're almost exhausted. If the enemy uses the same tactics again, won't we all be wiped out?"

Jiang Chuan's face was also very ugly. They had worked so hard until now, giving it their all, but they had only managed to block the enemy's attack.

What to do next, nobody knows.

"Continue the attack!" Yelü Tian sneered, for he saw hope and naturally would not give the Silent Court and the Holy Rune Academy any chance.

boom!

The powerful members of the Demon Soul Clan launched another attack, which lasted for a full quarter of an hour. Finally, at a certain moment, the Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array shattered completely.

Yao Tianji could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, extremely weak.

Yelü Tian hovered in mid-air, looking at the miserable state of the people of the Silent Court below, a cold and icy sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, "Since the Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array is broken, then you have completely become lambs to the slaughter! I want to see who can save you."

With a cold laugh, he waved his hand, and the skull cane in his hand released an astonishing black mist that swept towards the Silent Court like a flood.

From within the black mist appeared countless skeletons, ferocious and terrifying.

It blotted out the sky, penetrated everywhere, and even carried a terrifying sound, like countless insects sweeping in.

"It's a Soul-Devouring Evil Array!" Yao Tianji's expression changed drastically. "These skulls can devour living souls. Once bitten by them, the soul will be forcibly torn out of the body, leaving not even a trace, and ultimately becoming their nourishment!"

"Dean, this is a real problem. The Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array has been broken, and we are all very weak. It's impossible for us to rebuild the defensive array in a short time. And those skeletons are everywhere, and ordinary methods are simply not enough to stop them. What should we do?"

Jiang Chuan's face was also deathly pale, revealing a look of despair.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! Back into the Silent Court!" the black-robed elder roared.

Their last resort was to ask Jiang Yijian to take action. Jiang Yijian had been in seclusion deep within the Silent Court. As long as those skeletons invaded the place where Jiang Yijian was in seclusion, Jiang Yijian would definitely know and would take action.

Upon hearing the old man in black robes shout, everyone turned and retreated towards the main hall.

The people from the Holy Rune Academy also retreated.

But those terrifying skeletons were too fast, like countless locusts passing by, and they arrived above the Court of Annihilation in an instant.

"No, they're too fast! You guys retreat first, I'll hold them off for a bit!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yao Tianji shouted and took out a high-grade seven-star holy rune stone from his storage ring. It was specially refined by Ling Xiao and was even more powerful than the seven-star holy rune stone used in the previous Sky-Supporting Holy Rune Array.

This single one is comparable to the power of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array.

Yao Tianji originally intended to keep this as a trump card to protect the Holy Rune Academy, but now he has no choice but to use it.

The Seven-Star High-Grade Sacred Stone floated in mid-air.

Yao Tianji then took out eleven more six-star high-grade holy rune stones to assist in the release!

"change!"

With a low shout, Yao Tianji simultaneously tossed all the Sacred Rune Stones into the air, and the Sacred Rune Brush danced rapidly in his hand.

The twelve sacred rune stones bloomed, releasing terrifying sacred runes that intertwined to form yet another sacred rune array.

Instantly, the surrounding air turned cold.

An iceberg rose abruptly from the Silent Court.

The moment the iceberg rose, the blood-red skulls arrived.

bang bang bang...

A series of booming sounds rang out as the blood-red skulls crashed repeatedly against the iceberg.

Although the skulls would freeze and shatter the moment they hit the iceberg, there were simply too many skulls. Even if some were destroyed, many more were constantly weakening the iceberg's defenses.

They followed one after another, seemingly without end.

Under intense impact, the iceberg continues to shrink and thin, its surface covered with dense cracks, threatening to shatter at any moment.

"Damn it, block them for me!"

Yao Tianji roared and poured in more holy rune power, suddenly aging himself considerably.

He wanted to maintain the shape of an iceberg, but his body had reached its limit, and blood was seeping from his eyes, nostrils, and ears.

"Dean, let me help you!" Jiang Chuan supported the swaying Yao Tianji and poured his remaining holy rune power into him.

"No need, don't worry about me. You quickly lead everyone to retreat. I'll hold them off for as long as I can. If I die this time, you will be the new dean of the Holy Rune Academy!"

Yao Tianji gave Jiang Chuan a push.

"No, if you can't hold on, then don't. You are the backbone of the Holy Rune Academy. It doesn't matter if I die, but you can't die. I'll hold them off!" Jiang Chuan insisted on not leaving.

"Are you out of your mind? I can hold them off for a while, but can you? If you can't, everyone will die! Xiang Ying is still in seclusion; we can't let anything happen to her. As long as she breaks through, we still have hope!"

"No matter what you say, it's no use. At worst, we'll die together!" Jiang Chuan showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he continued to work with Yao Tianji to infuse the Xuanbing Sacred Rune Array with Sacred Rune Power.

Unfortunately, they were both too weak.

Even as they struggled to hold on, the iceberg continued to shrink. Each attack from the skeletons widened the cracks in the iceberg and reduced its power.

Upon seeing this, Yelü Tian burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you two are just making a last-ditch effort. Everything you've done is in vain. Your Xuanbing Sacred Rune Array is about to break. I want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve once this array is broken!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his bone staff again, and the eerie green soul bead at the tip of the staff shone with an even more dazzling light.

It almost turned the entire sky green.

This time, instead of a skull flying out of the spatial rift, a small flame drifted out...

It was only the size of a fist, with an eerie, ghostly green color throughout. At the center of the flame was a black mass, as if it contained all the darkness and evil in the world, radiating a chill that made one's soul tremble.

"It's the Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame!" Xia Ming's voice suddenly rang in Yao Tianji's mind, carrying a rare hint of solemnity.

"The most evil fire in the chaotic martial world doesn't burn the physical body, it only burns the soul. If even a trace touches it, the soul will be burned to ashes, leaving no chance for reincarnation!" (End of Chapter)
