About half an hour later, Josh suddenly made his move. He lifted his foot carefully and put it down on the golden path with extreme caution.
With every step he took, he drew several array flags from his arms and then tossed them into the air. In a flash, those flags would vanish into thin air.
Josh walked slowly as if he was in slow motion. He was wary of any possible dangers that might come on his way. He couldn't be more careful at that moment.
Moments later and he was already over thirty meters into the golden path. It was the longest distance all the warriors here could cover so far.
"Well, I hate to say that, but this guy won't make it with that level of array skills. That's far from being qualified.
Ten more meters and he would be thrown out of the path, take it from me," said the man in the bead inside Austin's Soul Sea when everything seemed to be going well.
Hearing that, Austin watched Josh more carefully. He became somewhat intrigued, too.
Josh was still inching his way forward. He was adjusting himself before he took each step. As he pushed forward, more array flags were flung into the air and disappeared.
Soon, he was about forty meters away from the crowd.
"Ha-ha, so far, so good, huh?" Lance gave a bright smile. "Looks like you are really our hope of getting through the golden path. You truly are an extraordinary array expert," he said to Josh.
Lance was quite pleased with how things were going. He also didn't forget to butter Josh up by the way.
However, as soon as he had finished speaking, Josh's face changed color. Before anyone could see what might be the problem, the array expert suddenly growled.
He instantly dragged two array flags out from his Space Ring and threw them out.
After a few moments of dead silence, everyone heard a loud explosion!
The same kind of forceful and invisible power blasted from the center of the golden path. This time it was more overwhelming than the previous ones. The golden light that came with it blinded and stung everyone's eyes.
In his panic and fear, Josh applied the bodily movement skill and rushed out from the bursting golden light. That was a narrow escape for a near-death experience.
Boom!
Behind Josh, the whole golden path was buried by the unstoppable killing intent and energy. The deafening sound that came with it made it seem like it was drowned by a tsunami.
"Alright then. Now it was clear that all the arrays in this golden path were set by some accomplished array masters from the ancient times. Maybe we should never dream about challenging them head-on," Josh said after regaining his balance.
"If we still want to break the arrays, there might be only one way to do so. We need to destroy them by force and violence, simple and primitive, but with low chance of success," he pointed out.
His face darkened as he spoke and beads of sweat streamed down his cheeks.
