When the Black Hurricane arrived at the foot of the Arctic Summit, he was startled to see nothing but thick fog in his way.
According to the map he possessed, there should be a clear way to direct him to his destination. So how come there was such thick fog in his way?
Moreover, he sensed the presence of spatial tears in this fog. It was his Demon King's spirit that instinctively sensed those Spatial Tears and warned him of stepping into that fog.
His instincts were accurate. The fog was something Azaroth created through the use of his arrays.
These arrays used the laws in the limited territory and opened Spatial Tears. A warrior could use those arrays to manipulate the location of spatial tears.
Naturally, Azaroth had prepared another couple of formations that prevented anyone else from accessing these Spatial Tears.
Furthermore, there were also a couple more arrays that acted as last resort that would automatically activate and purge these Spatial Tears if they ever got out of his control.
Anyway, Azaroth sensed Black Hurricane's presence. He was curious whether this demon would step inside the fog or not.
He could anticipate that Black Hurricane had already sensed the Spatial Tears in the fog.
Azaroth received his answer a few minutes later.
Black Hurricane immediately commanded his army to halt and began to set up a large formation around them.
A disdainful smile appeared on Azaroth's face as he understood what the Black Hurricane was doing.
'He is setting up another spatial formation to counter this spatial formation concealed within the Mist. He knows that doing so would make the situation completely chaotic. It would be down to luck…Wait…'
Suddenly, Azaroth's eyes widened as he recalled an important fact.
Black Hurricane possessed the body of the fourth prince. And the fourth prince was blessed with great providence. In fact, it wouldn't be strange if Black Hurricane's luck made the situation favorable to him.
'The territory of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect could tear apart and create a massive void. Black Hurricane would be most likely teleported somewhere else randomly while I will be left in that void. Even I can't survive a void of that caliber. Although I have spread my spirit around, they are too weak. Moreover, I would forever lose my own bloodline that I spent millions of years cultivating in my previous life. That would be a great waste.'
Azaroth hesitated as he continued to observe the situation. He wondered whether he should put down the Mist or not.
'Or is this also a part of Black Hurricane's luck? These thoughts are trying to change my mind and safely allow Black Hurricane's forces to enter the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.'
'I can't go away and observe the situation play out unless I am prepared to give up on this sect. If Black Hurricane's spatial formation clashed with mine and damaged the spatial laws around here, it would prevent me from arriving in time to slaughter them. They would have plenty of time to kill Tiana and others. No, this is not an optimal solution.'
A resolute look appeared on Azaroth's face.
'I need to think of something quickly. It would take Black Hurricane a little more than one week to finish constructing this array,' Azaroth frowned as he roamed in the sect.
It had to be mentioned that Black Hurricane didn't need to fear Azaroth at this moment. This was because three 6 Star Warriors were accompanying him.
These 6 Star Warriors were purely human and wouldn't be suppressed by Azaroth's bloodline.
Azaroth was confident in fighting a single 6 Star Warrior and even killing him if he was lucky. But unfortunately, luck was not going to be on his side.
Moreover, the other two warriors were not going to sit and allow Azaroth to kill their comrade. Besides, Azaroth sensed a strange connection between the three of them.
He guessed that this connection was due to their cultivation techniques. Their cultivation techniques probably complemented each other.
This warned Azaroth that they would be tough to cope with. At the least, he would lose if he fought them with his current strength.
He knew there was no chance of having a parley with Black Hurricane. There was a specific reason that he avoided meeting Black Hurricane at this moment.
'This guy is probably filled with hatred for me. I forced him to have his Demon Forces attack the Origin Sect, which has gravely harmed his forces. Most of the experts of his Demon Forces died in that attack on the Origin Sect. The ones who survived are clearly not enough for whatever Black Hurricane is plotting.'
'It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I have delayed his master plan by a decade or two. It's only natural for him to kill me,' Azaroth thought.
He only had a few options remaining.
One was to disable the Mist Array and allow Black Hurricane to reach the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. However, this would mean that Azaroth would have to fight those three 6 Star Warriors by himself. That would spell danger or even death for him.
The second option was to keep the Mist Array enabled and try his luck. There was a good chance he was overthinking this. In that case, Black Hurricane's formation wouldn't create a surprising effect and allow Azaroth to defeat him easily.
After some minutes of deep thought, Azaroth decided to choose the second option. He had a faint feeling that his negativity was due to the fate energy Black Hurricane possessed.
'This will be an interesting battle,' Azaroth thought.
He waited for a week and allowed Black Hurricane to prepare a spatial array to counter Azaroth's mist array.
Azaroth couldn't help but marvel as he analyzed Black Hurricane's spatial array. It was a fine spatial array that would tear the space by using the energy borrowed from his troops.
All the troops were essential parts of this formation. Currently, they were all laid out in a tiger formation and seemed ready to charge inside the Mist.
Black Hurricane and the three 6 Star Warriors had chosen the safest spot in this formation, in what seemed to be the abdomen of the Tiger Formation.
The Tiger Formation soon began to move into the Mist.
Azaroth's eyes snapped open as he sensed the enemy's movement. He was currently in a remote chamber with hundreds of blue orbs in front of him. These blue orbs were all similar to the orbs that he had handed to Tiana, which allowed her to control the array around the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.
However, that blue orb was the master control. Currently, Azaroth was in the room where the heart of the array formations rested.
In laymen's terms, Tiana could use the array formations as a user utilizing software while not understanding how it was created. Meanwhile, Azaroth was a programmer who was currently standing in the spot where he set up the code.
At this moment, Azaroth made his move suddenly. His hands moved quickly as he grabbed multiple orbs and quickly began to shift them.
Azaroth was doing the only thing he could. He was fighting against Fate using the only method known to him!
From his experiences, he knew that only one thing could suppress this strange fate energy and luck. And that was strength!
As a result, Azaroth promoted the Spatial Tears in the Mist to seventh grade! This was only temporary since the pace of energy depletion was too rapid. The Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's resources would be depleted in an hour.
It had to be known that the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect had looted most of all resources possessed by the Night Mountain Sect. Yet, it could sustain a seventh-grade formation for only an hour. It showed just how terrifying this formation was.
