My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1456

Before them was an endless expanse of lush bamboo. Using his mind, Nash determined the bamboo forest spanned about 5,000 meters. Beyond the bamboo forest, there was an endless ocean.

Tatiana frowned. "This is an illusionary array. We need to find a way to break it.”

Nash approached one of the bamboos and noticed patterns engraved on it. They were arrays varying in strength and complexity. Most formations required spiritual devices or tools to set up.

Only true masters of arrays could communicate with the principles of heaven and earth through engraved patterns.

Similar to the Path practice of talismans, those with insufficient cultivation needed to use yellow talisman paper and cinnabar. Those with sufficient power, on the other hand, were able to cast spells directly using their blood.

The same was also true for the art of array. Powerful formations could harness the energies of ley lines and stars.

The Heaven and Earth Extinction Formation was a divinity-level array, with array patterns engraved all over the country. The array was also enhanced by ten spiritual artifacts, which were also the keys to activating the patterns.

Tatiana examined the patterns on the bamboo with a serious expression. “This array is a bit tricky.” She raised her hand toward the bamboo but stopped just before she touched it.

“Give it a try. We can't just stay trapped in here,” Nash urged. Encouraged by his words, Tatiana placed her delicate hand on the array pattern.

Suddenly, strong whooshing sounds could be heard in the distance. 12 sharp bamboos shot toward them at lightning speed.

The bamboo moved like bullets that leaped through space. Nash immediately pulled Tatiana down to the ground with him.

The air was filled with bamboo falling like raindrops. With Tatiana firmly in his arms, Nash rolled left and right, dodging the first wave of attacks. Quickly, the second wave descended, and the number of bamboos doubled from the first.
