Chapter 1908: One Thing Defeats Another

Xu Yang's words elicited surprised glances from everyone.

"Sir Xu Yang, what's the connection between breaking the formation and this Primordial Pill? Are you planning to feed this pill to Junior Sister and have her try to break out of the formation herself?"

Nangong had barely finished speaking when Xu Yang smiled and shook his head.

"That's impossible. I intend to use the martial essence within this Primordial Pill as bait for the living array cores. Once I attract the beast souls of these ancient exotic beasts to a single, concentrated location, I'll be able to temporarily seal them.

You all need to be ready to inject power into the array at any moment. Before these ferocious beasts, acting as living array cores, break free from the seal I'm about to cast, you must ascertain the maximum martial power this array can withstand.

Once I have the most precise data, I can rescue this young lady within a single move. Of course, if all goes well, I'll also need your personal cooperation later."

The red-clad woman within the array had been continuously gazing at Xu Yang the entire time, and at this moment, she seemed utterly mesmerized. Suddenly snapping back to reality, she nodded blankly, appearing somewhat cute.

"Alright, Sir, whatever you need, just say it. I'll cooperate fully. Even if we fail to break the array, I won't blame you." Hearing the red-clad woman's words, Nangong and Xuanguang couldn't help but exchange shocked glances. It was evident from their expressions that this woman was usually a very strong-willed individual within the Changyun Heavenly Sect.

"Xuanguang, have you noticed that the women of our Changyun Heavenly Sect seem to transform completely after meeting Sir Xu Yang?"

This time, even Xuanguang, despite his profound understanding of Buddhist dharma, couldn't help but press his palms together and chant.

"Amitabha! Indeed, there's always something to conquer something else. It seems both women and men lose their true selves when confronted with beauty."

Although Xuanguang had lowered his voice to the barest whisper, such keen insight as Xu Yang's could not be deceived. Xu Yang merely pretended not to hear, shaking his head with a wry smile, and then crushed the Primordial Pill in his hand, gradually channeling its released power into the array system.

In a sudden instant, the three living ancient exotic beasts within the array all became agitated simultaneously. They released a powerful aura that simultaneously impacted the center of the array from three angles, precisely where the red-clad woman was sealed.

The woman immediately showed a pained expression. Fortunately, Xu Yang seemed to be her perfect tranquilizer; as she watched him focus intently, the pain in her body quickly subsided.

Xu Yang, however, had no time for sentimental distractions. His attention was fully concentrated on the array, meticulously observing every movement of the three ancient beasts, and continuously adjusting the rhythm and frequency with which he guided the pill's martial power.

Soon, under the forceful interference of Xu Yang's spiritual power, the movement speed of these martial essences within the array achieved a balance. This also caused the three exotic beasts at the array's three corners to operate in the same rhythm, until the totems of all three ancient exotic beasts landed on Xu Yang's pre-set points of power origin.

Xu Yang suddenly tapped his glabella, and the power of the Kunlun Dao technique instantly activated within the array.

In fact, while guiding the martial essence released by the pill, Xu Yang had already marked it distinctly, allowing it to resonate with his own spiritual power to a certain degree.

When these three marked points landed on the bodies of the three ancient exotic beasts serving as living array cores, Xu Yang's spiritual power began to take effect. The power of the Kunlun Dao technique simultaneously erupted from these three marked points, immediately immobilizing the ancient exotic beasts, which had previously possessed complete freedom of movement.

Even as these three beast totems began to roar and bellow frantically, no matter how much their power surged, they found themselves unable to instantly break free from Xu Yang's spiritual suppression.

"Now! Everyone, attack immediately!"

Xu Yang issued his new command. Xuanguang, Nangong, and Lan Ling'er immediately moved to the positions of the three array cores, channeling their powerful cultivation energies to strike the array's edges.

The rhythmic bursts of power with each strike were strong enough to make the entire palace tremble. Naturally, the commotion caused by the array-breaking soon drew the attention of silver-robed disciples from other parts of the palace, who swiftly converged towards their location.

"This isn't good, we need to speed up. It seems more disciples are approaching from outside the palace."

Lan Ling'er's expression suddenly shifted; she was the first to notice the activity outside. Xu Yang frowned and spoke coldly, "Don't get distracted. Focus on the task at hand. You don't need to worry about anything else; just leave it to me."

As the three continued to attack the array, the outward-spreading force kept expanding. Outside the palace, dozens of silver-robed disciples had already begun to appear.

"How audacious! To dare assault the power of a sealing array! Xu Yang, I'd like to see how you, now like turtles in a jar, intend to escape this predicament today."

The cold voice of the silver-robed disciple leader from outside had already reached the palace interior. At this moment, the red-clad woman, still at the very center of the sealing array, spoke with an anxious expression.

"I appreciate your kindness, Sir, but please quickly take my fellow disciples and leave this place. What does it matter if I'm the only one to fall? Please, don't let me drag all of you down with me."

The instant the red-clad woman's words fell, an incomparably powerful aura erupted before her. Strangely, no one else in the palace, including the red-clad woman herself, was affected by this force. Only Xu Yang, the source of this power, had his hair flying in a furious spectacle as a dense golden light instantly erupted around his body.

Under the guidance of Xu Yang's spiritual power, the immensely powerful Law of Light pierced through the palace and hovered in the void above the entire palace square, punishing all the silver-robed disciples who had rushed from various directions with its luminous force.

"What happened? Why is it so silent outside?"

The red-clad woman asked, her face filled with shock as she looked at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang replied with a faint smile, "They've all vanished." Everyone was utterly speechless, gasping audibly and glancing at Xu Yang with expressions of disbelief.

"Oh my goodness! Sir, please don't keep challenging the limits of our comprehension. Such terrifying methods as yours are simply beyond our imagination. Not just us, even any martial artist from the Ancient Martial God Dao would struggle to believe that the technique you just used to suppress those disciples truly exists."

Xu Yang chuckled lightly and began to explain further.
