Elder He closed his eyes briefly. After a moment of contemplation, he opened them, a decision clearly made.

He gathered his thoughts and began to explain,

"Breaking an Array isn’t about simple brute force. The key is to perceive its core mysteries and principles of operation."

"Elder Demon Su’s attainments in the Array Dao are profound, but more arrays are not always better."

"These three Arrays aren’t interlinked into a larger formation. They are independent and separate. Since they were laid out in the same place, there are bound to be incompatibilities between them."

"As long as we can find those flaws, we can effectively dismantle the Arrays."

After speaking, Elder He raised the Array Plate before him, then took out a large number of Array Flags and various other materials.

He constantly varied his Spells, and the embryonic form of an Array gradually appeared before the two of them.

To prevent any misunderstanding from Elder Gu, Elder He continued his analysis:

"First, I need to probe the connections and operational mechanisms between these Arrays to find the key points where they interlink and depend on one another. This requires a profound level of Array Cultivation to analyze these Arrays of Elder Demon Su’s."

"Second, I need to use a specific Array to interfere, cutting off the energy flow within his Arrays so they can’t function properly. This will allow me to find a flaw and locate the Array Hubs."

"Finally, at the right moment, we will attack together to destroy the Array Hubs, thereby demolishing the entire formation in one fell swoop."

After hearing his explanation, Elder Gu nodded in agreement.

"An Array Master truly is on another level. Let’s proceed with your plan. I will give you my full cooperation."

Elder He felt reassured. He continued setting up the Array, murmuring to himself,

’The Heavenly Stems have ten variations, which are simplified into ten characters.’

’The first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth are Yang!’

’The second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth are Yin!’

’Elder Demon Su’s Arrays are powerful, but each one is overwhelmingly Yin and deficient in Yang. They fall into the category where isolated Yin transforms into baleful energy. While this is immensely beneficial for gathering Demonic Qi and breaking the seal, it also leaves a considerable flaw.’

After finishing his assessment of Elder Demon Su’s Arrays, all sorts of items began to fly out continuously from Elder He’s Storage Bag.

’The first stem is Wood, the timber for great halls, placed in the East! The third is Fire, the flame of the sun, placed in the South! The fifth is Earth, the soil of ramparts, placed in the Center! The seventh is Metal, the steel of battle-axes, placed in the West! The ninth is Water, the flow of great rivers, placed in the North!’

The Wood of the first stem, positioned in the East, represented burgeoning life, like a great beam supporting the frame of the firmament;

The Fire of the third stem, residing in the South, was a raging inferno, like the sun illuminating the entire world;

The Earth of the fifth stem, centered and steadfast, was as heavy and solid as a city wall, securing the foundations of all things;

The Metal of the seventh stem, standing tall in the West, was firm and sharp, like the axe that split chaos to create the world;

The Water of the ninth stem, presiding in the North, flowed without cease, like great rivers converging into the sea, nourishing all directions.

Under Elder He’s control, five items corresponding to the Five Elements were arranged one by one according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the five cardinal directions, gradually manifesting as the Five Elements Supreme Yang Array, which floated in the air.

"’Yin and Yang are the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Yang pertains to Heaven, Yin to Earth. The Five Elements each have their own role; they generate and overcome one another, supplementing and complementing each other.’"

"’It is precisely for this reason that this Five Elements Supreme Yang Array can contend with Elder Demon Su’s Yin Sha Formations. Under the principle of Yin and Yang overcoming each other, it will force flaws to emerge from within his Arrays, making it difficult for them to maintain stability.’"

As the Magical Power flowing from Elder He’s fingertips spread through the air as smoothly as flowing water, dazzling Array Patterns glittered like a river of stars, perfectly integrating the Five Elements items with the surrounding Array Flags.

He continued to explain, "I will use this Array to simulate the cycle of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth, inducing chaos in his Arrays and forcing the hidden Array Hubs to reveal themselves. We just need to seize that moment and attack the Hubs together for a chance to break the formation in one blow."

"Fellow Daoist He, you are truly worthy of your title as the Array Pavilion Master of the Profound Origin Sect. Your Array Cultivation is truly extraordinary!"

Elder Gu listened with rapt attention, deeply impressed by Elder He’s profound attainments in the Array Dao. At the same time, she began to adjust her own condition, readying her Magical Treasure to coordinate an attack with him at a moment’s notice.

As the Five Elements Supreme Yang Array neared completion, a potent, masculine power surged within it. An intense aura of pure yang erupted, soaring into the heavens. It stood in stark contrast to the cold, deathly stillness pervading the Secret Realm, and it also caused the surrounding Spiritual Qi to fluctuate with unusual activity.

Elder He took a deep breath, and under his control, the Array slowly pressed forward toward the core area where Elder Demon Su was located.

The Power of Supreme Yang and the utterly yin, utterly evil Demonic Qi churned and clashed in the air. This was a confrontation between the most fundamental forces of Heaven and Earth!

At this moment, the core area of the Secret Realm seemed to have become a battlefield for Yin and Yang Qi. The powers of supreme yang and supreme yin collided and intermingled, and under the effect of the Array, the struggle between the two forces reached a delicate equilibrium.

Elder He watched the Demon Array before him sustain continuous impacts. Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

But he felt no joy.

Because he sensed that something was wrong.

’Logically, with the huge commotion the two of them were causing, Elder Demon Su should have rushed out in a rage to stop my Array from advancing.’

Elder He had already prepared his countermeasures for Elder Demon Su; he was just waiting for him to appear.

But they had been here for a full hour, and there was still no sign of Elder Demon Su.

’This is completely abnormal!’

But the arrow was already nocked and had to be fired.

Things had already come to this point. To retreat was to place their lives in another’s hands; to advance offered a sliver of hope.

Between these two choices, no one would need to think twice.

As the Five Elements Supreme Yang Array advanced, the Demon Array laid by Elder Demon Su began to show signs of fluctuation and instability, like ripples on a lake stirred by a great stone. The internal structure of the Array gradually revealed faint flaws.

Elder He keenly perceived this change. He quickly adjusted the rhythm of his Array’s operation, increasing the intensity of the assault on the Demon Array.

"Get ready!"

Elder He shouted grimly.

At his side, Elder Gu realized the crucial moment was at hand. She tightly gripped her Magical Treasure, her entire body surging with Magical Power, ready to coordinate an attack with Elder He at any moment.

As Elder He suddenly and frantically poured his Magical Power into it, the Five Elements Supreme Yang Array emitted a series of deep rumbles, like the roar of an ancient beast awakening.

In that instant, the majestic Power of Supreme Yang condensed into a pillar of light, like an arrow of dawn, stabbing straight toward the Demon Array.

In that split second, the Demon Array, once as stable as a mountain, began to tremble violently, surging like a storm-tossed sea.

The position of the Array Hub began to flicker with a weak, erratic light. It was a fissure that had been forcefully squeezed open by the Power of Supreme Yang, like a dam on the verge of collapse, ready to burst at any moment.
