A wolf only gains the ability to hunt within a pack.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan glanced at Lei Hao thoughtfully.

That's what they've all been thinking—

Only after breaking through to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer and stepping into the Innate realm did they realize that in the Great Thousand World, there were many other cultivators. Having understood the Dark Forest Law, they had no choice but to proceed cautiously, protecting themselves… Only by doing so could they stay safe. Only by continuously disguising themselves as martial artists could they avoid being detected by cultivators who steal spiritual energy.

To this day.

They all took pride in their clever actions…

From Yellow Rank to Mystic Rank… only they knew how many difficulties they had faced. With each successful spiritual energy theft, they would gain some knowledge from the cultivators who had been robbed… Over time, they had amassed the experience and skills they now possessed.

Unfortunately…

Fang Yu dismissed all this as ignorance.

Tang Yan started to laugh…

Laughing in a chilling manner, he slowly stood up and said, "How exactly did I lose?"

He believed that even when facing a Heavenly Position Level powerhouse, he shouldn't have been defeated in a single move.

Fang Yu sighed and said,

"Tang Yan, you possess the Dark Attribute, fearing the most rigid and Supreme Yang Qi, and by coincidence, my Primordial Qi happens to be Supreme Yang Qi… Lei Hao, you have the Thunder Attribute. It's a pity… I was born with a Thunder Attribute constitution!"

Tang Yan frowned.

Could it be…

Was this the so-called Five Elements interaction of generation and restriction?

Within the world of martial artists, there is also a theory of the Five Elements. However, martial artists find it difficult to externalize their Inner Strength and combat in unity with the Five Elements, a method that has gradually been abandoned. Only those with a high degree of compatibility could work together.

The Dark Organization's five great protectors of the Zhao Family in Yanjing were exemplars of the use of the Five Elements Internal Strength.

But…

Could this theory also be applied to cultivators?

"Consider these as your last lesson before death…" Fang Yu said.

"You—"

Use their own way to counteract their own strategies!

Lei Hao coughed to stabilize his injury and spoke, "Do you really think that you've won?"

"Hm?"

Beneath Fang Yu's puzzled gaze, Lei Hao stood up.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he raised a single palm towards the sky.

"Dark Forest Law? If we've survived until today, how could we be so easily defeated… If we reveal our aura and attract other cultivators, what would the outcome be?"

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu was startled, saying, "Are you threatening me?"

Lei Hao was preparing to unleash his full aura, attracting other cultivators… In this case, Fang Yu would also be exposed. It was a tactic where both sides would suffer damage.

"Sort of, but not really…"

Boom—

Clouds roiled and dispersed.

Dark clouds gathered.

Fang Yu's brow wrinkled lightly, what was happening?

The crowd below exclaimed once again.

"That Thunder giant can actually mobilize the forces of nature!"

"No way!"

"This… is like the tricks of an Immortal!"

"Holy moly!"

Everything that happened today had overturned their understanding.

Lei Hao's single palm continued to reach for the sky.

Tang Yan also revealed a sinister smile, and indifferently said, "We have spent no less than ten years at the Dark Web Headquarters… From ten years ago, we already stepped into the path of cultivators, and since then, we knew we had to have stronger means to protect ourselves… I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Suddenly.

Tang Yan also raised his hand.

Weird ripples started to emanate around him.

Fang Yu's gaze shifted slightly, appearing to recognize something, murmuring softly, "So it's an Array..."

Preparing a large-scale Array in ten years was quite simple…

"Lucky for me that I obtained the first Fragment of memory. If it weren't for the memory fragments, I wouldn't be able to understand this Array…"

"This must be a—Lei An Dual Attribute Soul Stealing Array!"

As the name Soul Stealing Array suggests, one can use the Array's power to completely absorb the Spiritual Energy from within cultivators, allowing the person who unleashed the Array to absorb it!

It seems they had long considered countermeasures against stronger adversaries!

Buzz.

Buzzing.

The air around felt oppressive, cold.

Chen Daotian saw this scene and felt incredibly familiar. It was just like the time when Fang Yu was alchemizing.

This time.

Members of the Dark Web started to feel fear.

"Retreat!"

"Everyone retreat!"

The people surrounding the high platform began to retreat one after another.

Some members of the Dark Web even took the bold step of pulling the "criminals" off the high platform one by one.

They kept retreating until they were a hundred meters away, and only then did the oppressive feeling significantly decrease.

Fang Yu looked around for a while, then lifted his gaze to Tang Yan and Lei Hao, and said, "Array?"

Tang Yan said coldly:

"Correct, it's an Array! This is my territory... Since you've come here, you should be prepared for this! You should know the power of an Array! Die!"

The air pressure kept dropping lower and lower.

Many people saw that under the immense pressure, the two chairs on the high platform cracked and shattered!

Fang Yu felt a strange force slowly tearing at his Dantian.

His Primordial Essence was slowly diminishing, as if it was flowing away.

The Soul Stealing Array was indeed formidable.

The Array was activated.

Tang Yan suddenly shouted, "Heavenly Slaughter Palm!"

Thousands of handprints came flooding over like a deluge.

With a banging sound.

Fang Yu staggered backwards repeatedly.

His strong Primordial Essence blocked this attack.

"I admit you're strong, being able to withstand my move within the Soul Stealing Array... but it's a pity, the more you resist, the faster your Inner Essence will deplete!"

Fang Yu's expression remained indifferent.

Finally, his gaze settled at the position of twelve o'clock—

"I forgot to tell you..."

"Tell us what?" Tang Yan furrowed his brows tightly.

"I am an—Array Master."

Whoosh!

He leaped up.

Several handprints struck out.

Fang Yu carelessly wielded his Primordial Essence... The continuous nature of Primordial Essence played a great value at this moment. A normal Cultivator would've already been drained to the point of immobility.

However, Fang Yu was as at ease as ever.

"Great Thousand Luo Hand, break for me—"

Several handprints flew towards the twelve o'clock direction.

Seeing this, Lei Hao's face took on a massive change as he yelled, "No good! Don't let him destroy the Array Eye!"

The Array Eye is fundamental to the operation of the Array.

Seeing this, Tang Yan desperately lunged forward.

But alas—

At the moment of his lunge, Fang Yu watched with a cold smile, "Heavenly Gang Gold Needle!"

A gold needle as thick as a finger, shimmering with golden light, shot through his chest.

Even if you were as unyielding as a wall of bronze and iron, you couldn't withstand this sudden attack.

With a bang, the Heavenly Gang Gold Needle stuck into the Array Eye.

Boom—

The wind disappeared.

The clouds dispersed.

Everything quieted down in an instant.

Thud!

Tang Yan fell to the ground. Lei Hao staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lei Hao was the manipulator of the Array Eye; the gold needle hitting the Array Eye was equivalent to piercing his heart.

"This is impossible! How could this be possible?" Lei Hao's face was full of disbelief.

Tap tap.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of Fang Yu's footsteps approached.

Looking up, they saw Fang Yu already standing in front of them. He coldly asked:

"Hand over the Dark Scripture!"
