Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed as he studied the information on the Array Dao. ’Two methods, and the first is definitely out of the question.’ The Yin Qi in Jueyang Valley was incredibly dense; it had accumulated for an unknown number of years and was potent enough to sustain a Profound Tier High Level Array. The concentration of Yin Qi here was far beyond what could be found in any ordinary place. Trying to cut off its source was a fool’s errand.

The second method was to destroy the array’s eye. It was the simplest and most direct solution. Every array had an eye, which acted as its central nervous system. Destroy the eye, and the array would collapse on its own. ’But where is it?’ This gave Shen Haoran a headache.

He raised his head, gazing at the massive array formed from black Yin Qi in mid-air, and began to search carefully. ’An array’s eye should be its core. The energy there must be the most concentrated!’

A moment later, Shen Haoran’s eyes lit up as if he had discovered something. In three corners of the grand array, a small vortex of Yin Qi spun continuously. Wisps of Yin Qi pulsed out from within each vortex, creating a bizarre sight.

"Is that the eye of the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array?" Shen Haoran muttered. ’But don’t arrays usually just have one?’

’There’s one way to find out!’ An idea struck Shen Haoran. He glanced at the Yin Qi Dragon stampeding toward him and sneered. Clenching his fist, he charged forward to meet it.

Pitch-black flames enveloped Shen Haoran’s Qilin Arm, causing the crimson patterns on it to glow brightly. Scorching white steam billowed from his arm.

"HYAH!" Shen Haoran bellowed. His massive fist, crackling with terrifying power, transformed into a colossal, pitch-black Qilin Giant Beast and slammed viciously into the Yin Qi Dragon. The searing heat, combined with a power that seemed to hail from the Primordial Chaos, instantly obliterated the Yin Qi Dragon’s head. In a flash, it exploded into countless wisps of Yin Qi that scattered into the air.

Shen Haoran immediately turned his gaze to the three Yin Qi vortexes in the corners of the array. Sure enough, the moment the Yin Qi Dragon burst apart, the three vortexes began to spin wildly. Torrents of dense Yin Qi gushed out, flowing like rivers to where the dragon had been. In the blink of an eye, the Yin Qi Dragon that Shen Haoran had just obliterated reformed completely.

"So those are the array’s eyes!" Shen Haoran’s face lit up with joy. He then yelled to Luo Xiaowen and Changmao, "Sister Xiaowen, Changmao! Attack those spots!" With a flick of his finger, Shen Haoran shot out two jets of flame to mark the locations of the vortexes for them.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s shout, Luo Xiaowen and Changmao both looked over. When they saw the spinning Yin Qi vortexes, they immediately understood. They quickly disengaged from their battles and charged toward the other two vortexes.

"This is bad, Grand Elder! They seem to have found the eyes of the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array!" one of the Elders exclaimed in alarm, seeing Shen Haoran’s trio break away from the fight and sprint in three different directions.

"Hmph! They want to destroy the array? What a pipe dream!" Elder Qian had also figured out their intentions. He snorted coldly as his hands flew through a series of Seal Techniques.

As Elder Qian completed his Seal Technique, the nine Yin Qi Dragons within the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array seemed to receive a command. They went berserk, chasing after the trio with lightning speed and quickly intercepting them, blocking their paths.

"Destroy the eyes first! Don’t get bogged down fighting them!" Shen Haoran yelled, looking at the six Yin Qi Dragons before him. With a powerful flap of the wings on his back, he vanished, leaving an afterimage in his wake. He nimbly weaved between the Yin Qi Dragons, heading straight for the array eye.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiaowen and Changmao were also using their unique skills. They were as slippery as eels, and the Yin Qi Dragons couldn’t pin them down at all. In the end, the dragons could only transform their bodies into living barriers to block the path to the array’s eyes.

The trio shared a cold smile as they looked at the Yin Qi Dragons blocking the way to the array’s eyes. In a prolonged, direct confrontation, the dragons might have been able to overwhelm them by drawing on the endless supply of Yin Qi from the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array. But when it came to focused, single-target attacks, the trio had no fear of them whatsoever.

A brilliant light flashed, and an ornate longsword materialized in Luo Xiaowen’s hand. Its golden glow was especially blinding in the gloom of the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array. With the appearance of this golden longsword, the very air seemed to be rent asunder, and the sharp edge of its Powerful Qi could be felt even from a great distance.

This was Luo Xiaowen’s ace in the hole: a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact of incredible sharpness. Since Luo Xiaowen herself was a Gold Attribute Martial Artist, one could only imagine the Attack Power she could unleash when the two were combined.

On the other side, in contrast to Luo Xiaowen’s elegant attack, Shen Haoran’s was far more domineering. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian erupted from his body and slowly condensed in front of him. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic drill made of fire appeared. The raging flames ignited the surrounding air, instantly vaporizing all Yin Qi within a ten-meter radius.

As for Changmao, his display was even more shocking. He opened his massive maw, unleashing a terrifying Devouring Power. The surrounding Yin Qi was all pulled toward him, coalescing into a sphere of pitch-black Yin Qi before his jaws. The power it held was hardly inferior to Shen Haoran’s fiery drill. After all, he was a Taotie who could devour anything, and Yin Qi was no exception.

Within the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array, Shen Haoran’s trio unleashed their attacks with full force. A blinding golden light, raging flames, and a frigid Yin Qi Cannon all erupted in the same instant, shooting forward to pierce through the Yin Qi Dragons blocking their paths.

BOOM...

In an instant, three tremendous roars erupted from within the Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array, causing the entire formation to tremble violently. The Yin Qi Dragons blocking the trio’s path were pierced straight through by their tyrannical attacks. The residual Powerful Qi slammed into the three Yin Qi vortexes, destroying them instantly. Afterward, a dense wave of Yin Qi erupted, flooding the entire Nine Yin Soul-devouring Array...

"What was that?" The tremendous roar startled every Martial Artist in the Hehuan Sect. All eyes turned toward the massive array.

In mid-air, Xue Ling, who had been forcing Chen Hutian into a corner, was also drawn by the roar. She glanced down at the massive array below. Pitch-black Yin Qi had already permeated every corner of it, and not a single trace of anyone’s aura could be sensed.

Chen Hutian spat out a mouthful of blood. Xue Ling’s latest barrage of attacks had nearly killed him. However, when he saw the array completely filled with blackness, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. ’That kid must be dead by now. This madwoman will probably leave soon!’
