Chapter 399 The Great Heavens Trapping Array Formation

"Your curiosity is understandable, given your outsider status in this Requiem world," Alexander replied with a touch of condescension. "No offense, Mister Darhk."

"None taken."

Alexander continued, "This world is inhabited by powerful beings—dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures beyond your wildest imagination. Even my dragon hesitates to ascend to higher altitudes, especially over the sea."

Damien pondered this for a moment. "Then I suppose flying at this low altitude might expose us to potential dangers, considering there must be extraordinarily strong creatures lurking beneath the water."

"Correct! However, have some faith in me. I\'ve traversed this region countless times. Besides, the most formidable creatures tend to stay on the ocean floor. We\'re relatively safe at this altitude," reassured Alexander as he reclined on the dragon\'s back.

During their journey, the two engaged in a wide-ranging conversation about this world. Damien learned about the Shadow Fiend, soul-eaters that dwelled in the dark corners of this realm, particularly in the overshadowed region near the convergence of the four planets.

After enduring scorching suns, turbulent winds, and even storms for an hour, Damien spotted land on the northeastern horizon. As they drew closer, he discerned about ten colossal white stone statues in human forms, mostly dwarfs, holding an array of weapons—spears, war hammers, swords, and bows. They stood tall, with their feet immersed in the water near the coastline. The dragon passed through a feminine-looking statue with a thunderous roar before landing heavily on the sandy ground.

"Is this our destination?" Damien inquired, scanning the surroundings with his Devil\'s Eyes Ocular technique, emanating a radiant golden light.

"You could say that," replied Alexander. "Mister Darhk."

"Please, call me Damien."

"Very well, Damien. To deter uninvited guests, we have a formidable Heaven Trapping Array Formation covering this entire island. From this point forward, you must follow my every step."

"Lead the way," Damien responded casually but with an undertone of unwavering confidence.

"There are precisely ten thousand steps ahead. Please pay close attention and be aware that failure comes with consequences. You can also choose to turn back and forfeit the Sumeru Ring," Alexander informed him candidly.

Here\'s the next part of your chapter with some revisions for improved wording and phrasing:

"I understand. So, this is my first trial as a rookie member of the association, right?"

"Certainly, but not your very first. Your initial trial commenced the moment you spotted me shadowing you. Eliminating a Shadow Fiend is a crucial step, but there are more trials ahead. We don\'t accept just anyone," Alexander explained.

"Well then, let\'s not waste any time. Do what you need to, and I\'ll do my part," Damien replied with a touch of disrespect in his tone.

Alexander paid little attention to Damien\'s attitude. Without delay, he took a deep breath and concentrated his internal origin chi into his legs, causing an azure hue to envelop them up to his thighs. With a series of hand seals, he shouted, "Wind Gliding Movement Technique, Activate!" Instantly, his figure fragmented into ten thousand copies, each in a different running pose, scattered over a distance of about 35 feet. These duplicates stamped their feet on the ground, leaving ten thousand distinct footprints, each three and a half inches deep. Afterward, all the copies systematically merged into the one farthest from Damien, and a colossal red gate adorned with depictions of dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures materialized, opening with a resounding clang.

"Good luck, dear Damien. If you pass this test, we\'ll meet again," Alexander said as he stepped through the gate. It closed with a loud bang, shattering into countless shards that disappeared completely.

Although this entire process unfolded in a fraction of a second, Damien had captured every minute detail with his third vertical pitch-black eye, which opened briefly. Coupled with his eidetic memory, he began replaying Alexander\'s movements in his mind, in slow motion.

After meticulously studying Alexander\'s actions, which appeared to target the ten thousand spots arranged in the shape of a Shadow Fiend, Damien was amazed by the intricacies of unlocking the Great Heavens Trapping Array Formation. Each step had to exert equal pressure simultaneously, and the final part involved transferring the load in ascending order, concentrating all the weight onto the last steps as the other copies removed their footprints from the ground.

Damien sat cross-legged on the sand, closed his eyes, and assumed a meditative posture.

"What?! Can\'t even the great Damien crack such an Array Formation?" Cynthia\'s melodious voice echoed in his mind.

"Give me a moment, Cynthia. Can\'t you see I\'m trying to meditate?" Damien complained mentally. "And don\'t misunderstand me. Breaking this array formation is a walk in the park. I just need to be in peak mental and physical condition to do it."

"Ah, my apologies, Lord Damien. I may have underestimated your talents," Cynthia giggled playfully and then disappeared from his mental palace as mysteriously as she had arrived.

With his upper body erect, Damien closed his eyes and breathed rhythmically, drawing Origin Chi from the air into his internal organs with each inhale. Slowly, the sea of lightning chi within his Dantian region began to ripple and activate the "Lightning Cannon Cultivation Technique" on its own. 

As Damien sat there, his eyes closed in deep meditation, he focused not only on his physical preparation but also on fortifying his mental resolve. He knew that cracking the Great Heavens Trapping Array Formation required more than just skill; it demanded unwavering determination and a steel-like mentality. In the stillness of the moment, he channeled his thoughts inward, building a mental fortress that would shield him from doubt and distraction. With every breath, he steeled his mind, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.
