Darkness, thick like ink that won’t dissolve, unfetteredly spreads across every inch of space at the canyon’s bottom.

Above, the towering canyon cliffs stretch infinitely towards the sky, leaving a narrow gap far above, swallowed by the darkness.

The feeble light from the lantern seals that seep through the gap into the canyon bottom seems so insignificant before the heavy darkness, as if it could be completely absorbed at any moment.

Liou Yuan bends over on the iron-hard brown land of the canyon, continuously inspecting the Array inscriptions he has sketched onto the ground.

The friction between his feet and the hard ground produces a dull sound that echoes throughout the canyon.

The injury on his arm has already healed, thanks to the help of a few healing medicines in Liou Tao’s Storage Bag. The deep-seated wound that once exposed his bone now has not left a single scar.

Before him, the inscriptions carved naturally belong to the Array inscriptions of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

Eight hundred and forty inscriptions fill the canyon passage, cutting through the entire path.

Behind the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array is the slightly smaller Earth Mother Prison Array’s Array inscriptions.

Compared to the full version’s cumbersome Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array inscriptions, the Earth Mother Prison Array is much simpler.

Its inscriptions connect with the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, with many interconnected lines, like two tightly clasped iron rings, as though they are one.

"Using an Array to enhance another Array, employing the Five Elements to elevate the Array’s power, what a genius thought."

"No wonder Han Zhenzi has been dead for hundreds of years, yet his legend still persists in Jiuli State."

Liou Yuan looks at the connection point of the two Arrays, shaking his head with endless sighs, filled with admiration for Han Zhenzi.

The method he uses for Array formation is precisely the essence of the Array legacy in ’Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation,’ where Arrays engender each other.

Reading about this Array legacy in the Jade Scroll is one thing; truly setting it up in reality is an entirely different matter.

Seeing the two Arrays blend so perfectly, Liou Yuan laments more than once over Han Zhenzi’s early death.

"If he hadn’t died so early, his Array ideas would have certainly influenced Jiuli and the Jin Dynasty."

Murmuring, Liou Yuan completes the final inspection of the two Arrays.

After confirming there are no omissions, Liou Yuan empties all the Spiritual stones he collected from the Star Erosion remains into the eye of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

There are about a hundred pieces, piled into a small mound.

Such a large amount of Spiritual stones gathered together immediately raises a powerful spiritual glow.

Liou Yuan eagerly casts two Seal Skills towards the Earth Mother Prison Array and the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, activating them.

Buzz!

After two intense Array surges.

The two Arrays activate simultaneously.

Golden light fills the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

Meanwhile, earth and stones rise within the Earth Mother Prison Array, forming an Array reminiscent of a rock barrier.

Liou Yuan’s eyes remain fixed at the connection point of the two Arrays.

Setting up an Array is one matter.

Perfectly embedding two Arrays into each other is another.

Liou Yuan is utilizing the engendering method from ’Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation’ for the first time, feeling uncertain about success.

"At critical times, don’t play any dirty tricks on me."

"Killing that Purifying Dark Demon depends entirely on you."

Liou Yuan licks his lips, watching the connection point of the two Arrays intently.

After the two Arrays were activated, their respective powers began gathering there.

Under Liou Yuan’s focused anticipation, the two waves of Array, one gold and one brown, finally converge.

Upon the initial encounter, natural conflicts arise between the two different Arrays.

The two beams of Array luminescence hover for a moment, then the Arrays begin to tremble.

Fortunately, the harmonizing inscriptions Liou Yuan recorded between the two Arrays, from ’Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation,’ played a role.

After a brief, fierce conflict.

The Earth Mother Prison Array’s power began merging into the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

The brown light rapidly transforms into gold.

The golden blaze radiating within the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array becomes more dazzling and spectacular.

"Succeeded!" The golden brilliance within the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array illuminates Liou Yuan’s face, his expression bursting with excitement.

"The full version of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array can already contend with Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer."

"Now, with the Earth Mother Prison Array engendered, coupled with the Earth Erosion Heavenly Time and Earthly Advantage, even if it can’t kill the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Purifying Dark Demon, it can certainly cause it some trouble."

Liou Yuan shifts his gaze from the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, looking at the towering canyon walls on both sides.

The earth gives birth to gold, the Array placement here clearly benefits from the Heavenly Time and Earthly Advantage, boosting its power a notch.

"Now, just waiting for Tuoba Xin to arrive." Liou Yuan takes a deep breath, uses a seal to conceal the Array’s surge.

Everything’s ready, except for the eastern wind.

Even with just the Earth Mother Prison Array, Liou Yuan’s chance of killing the Purifying Dark Demon is still too low, maybe ten to twenty percent.

That still counts the boost from having two top-tier Magical Artifacts.

But if he can persuade Tuoba Xin to assist, he feels the success rate for slaying the Purifying Dark Demon could rise above fifty percent.

Thinking of Tuoba Xin’s vast Spiritual Power fluctuations, Liou Yuan confidently assumes to himself, "Tuoba Xin himself is not far from Foundation Establishment. With his strength and full effort, he can definitely engage with the Purifying Dark Demon."

"With help from my Refined Gold Breaking Mountain, killing that Purifying Dark Demon shouldn’t be too difficult."

The only difficulty is how Liou Yuan will persuade Tuoba Xin.
