Chapter 477 - 245: Dark Prison Seal

Stepping into the Xuanji Lock Moon Array, a black array curtain rose before the cave mansion.

Liou Yuan stepped in, the world spun, and he was plunged into a dark and unlit environment.

Inside the array became a black hole that devoured True Essence, constantly pulling the Geng Metal True Essence from Liou Yuan’s body.

The golden light of the Geng Metal True Essence continued to disperse into the air.

Liou Yuan wasn’t in a hurry; he had Fourth Grade Qi Mansion Celestial Spirits, and his Geng Metal True Essence was incredibly thick, so the Xuanji Lock Moon Array couldn’t drain his True Essence anytime soon.

"I can definitely hold out for at least half an hour inside," Liou Yuan assessed the power of the array, revealing a relaxed expression.

Besides, he already had a clue about the array-breaking method from outside the array.

In fact, he could use the array-breaking method from the "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation" to break the array, but that was Han Zhenzi’s legacy, and all three in front were Foundation Establishment Array Masters, so Liou Yuan feared exposing himself.

Currently, Han Zhenzi had become an evil corpse, hunted by everyone for heinous murders.

Being associated with him was definitely bad news.

"So I can’t use the array-breaking method; I can only rely on the traditional array-breaking method to solve this."

Muttering, Liou Yuan closed his eyes, and the array patterns of the entire Xuanji Lock Moon Array emerged in his mind.

He walked through the Xuanji Lock Array, reaching the core of the array in just five or six breaths.

The fastest method to break an array is undoubtedly extracting the core.

This requires high expertise from the Array Master.

Moreover, near the core, the Array Master often leaves a strong defensive measure during setup.

Sure enough, as Liou Yuan approached the core, the array’s power to devour his True Essence immediately intensified several times.

Golden light, like flames, was constantly pulled from Liou Yuan’s Qi Mansion.

Most would be intimidated by this momentum; Liou Yuan, however, was unperturbed, maintaining his pace and stepping on two adjacent array patterns.

The Geng Metal True Essence spews under his feet, directly severing the array forces flowing through the patterns.

The force pulling Liou Yuan’s True Essence suddenly stalled.

"Hey!" Liou Yuan chuckled and performed a mysterious step in front of the core.

Where he moved, the power of the Xuanji Lock Moon Array no longer eroded him in the slightest.

Within a short time, he arrived at the core of the Xuanji Lock Moon Array.

His hand grasped emptily, the Moonlight Sword materialized in his grip, slicing towards several adjacent array lines.

Clang! The sword edge, enhanced by Sword Qi, easily cleaved through the core’s defenses.

Liou Yuan leisurely walked to the core and drove a sword into the ground.

With the sound of a clear clang.

The array trembled, and the surrounding darkness which pulled Liou Yuan’s True Essence suddenly halted.

Starlight from the outside passed through the array barrier and illuminated Liou Yuan’s handsome face.

The entire process took less than the time for a cup of tea, and the early-stage Foundation Establishment Xuanji Lock Moon Array was broken by Liou Yuan.

On the mountain’s surface, Zhao Zhuoran, Shanhong, and Jingyan watched the broken Xuanji Lock Moon Array, each wearing a smile.

"This kid’s mastery of arrays is definitely at the Foundation Establishment level," Jingyan who was previously unconvinced had to concede.

"Promising youth; our Five Extremes Mountain’s path of arrays has successors."

"Report this," Shanhong stroked his beard, chuckling, "Someday I’ll visit and spar with this kid on array knowledge. Next time, I’ll definitely set up a complete Xuanji Lock Moon Array for him."

"Let’s go, this cave mansion is his now." Zhao Zhuoran too came with orders from the sect, and having seen through Liou Yuan’s abilities, they knew it was unnecessary to linger.

With a grand gesture, the three disappeared from the mountain.

Liou Yuan, using Evil Eyes, observed the mountain. Seeing the three disappear, he retracted his gaze, and from behind him, Tuoba Xin’s voice sounded, "Liou Yuan, you’re incredible!"

Tuoba Xin cheerfully approached Liou Yuan, looking him up and down; seeing the latter’s clothes still neat, with an air of confidence, his smile broadened.

"Seems Elder Shanhong underestimated you," he remarked.

He meant that Shanhong had underestimated Liou Yuan, the array wasn’t strong enough, allowing it to be broken quickly.

"I knew Mr. Tuoba was in cahoots with them," Liou Yuan replied to Tuoba Xin with a playful smile.

"We’re just serving the sect; no such thing as being in cahoots or not."

"It’s well-known that you have the potential to become a Foundation Establishment Array Master. Now that you’ve established your foundation, it’s natural for those above to test you."

Tuoba Xin waved his hand, always with a carefree smile.

"After today, both the Outer and Inner Sects of the Five Extremes Mountain will know Liou Yuan has become the fourth Array Master in the Inner Sect. You’re going to be famous."

"How famous can I be, comparable to Mr. Tuoba?" Liou Yuan, indifferent.

The title of Foundation Establishment Array Master was merely a tool for Liou Yuan to gain conveniences.

In terms of fame, he had already made a name when he slew Liou Xie in the Chaotic Scene.

So instead of those things, he cared more about the cave mansion he struggled for.

Exchanging a few words with Tuoba Xin, Liou Yuan strode towards the cave mansion.

"Wait for me, my brother!" Tuoba Xin quickly followed.

This cave mansion, mentioned by Liou Zhen, and with Tuoba Xin personally leading Liou Yuan here, would naturally not be poor.

Rumble!

As Liou Yuan pushed open the stone door of the cave mansion, an enchanting scene was revealed inside.

Thousands of stalactites hung from the ceiling, with Luminous Pearls embedded at the top, turning them amber-colored, and the sound of dripping water echoed in the vast stone chamber.

At the deepest part of the cave mansion stood a Cold Jade Bed, slightly dusty from long periods of neglect.
