Using the speed of the Stepping Wave Body Skill, the body darted between the rocky canyon floor and the cliff walls, evading the fierce attack of the Star Erosion.

Occasionally, the sword was drawn, just enough to force the Star Erosion back without inflicting significant wounds.

One person and one Star Erosion chase each other, Liou Yuan led it to an area etched with array patterns.

The Star Erosion seemed either unfamiliar with arrays, or simply dismissive of Liou Yuan’s seemingly weak strategy.

It brazenly stepped into the array he had set up.

Almost the instant the Star Erosion stepped into the array region.

Boom! A pale golden light erupted from the ground.

The Array Disc buried within the array by Liou Yuan was activated, unleashing the power of the array and trapping this Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Star Erosion within.

Simultaneously, as the golden light surged, they coalesced within the array into thick, arm-like golden needles, numbering roughly dozens.

This was none other than the final array of the Five Basic Array Forms of Five Elements Birth and Death, the Gold-Breaking Array.

These past few days, Liou Yuan hadn’t only been honing his swordsmanship against the Star Erosion.

During his leisure time, he would also take out the prepared jade stones to etch arrays, while studying the Gold-Breaking Array’s array patterns.

Indeed, he managed to conjure up this Gold-Breaking Array.

Before his eyes in this Gold-Breaking Array, there was not only the Array Disc but also five Star Stones buried by Liou Yuan to provide energy to the array.

On top of the Array Disc, there was a heap of more than ten various sizes of reddish-brown Spiritual Stones.

All these Spiritual Stones were collected by Liou Yuan from the Star Erosion he had slain along the way.

Now he had taken them all out, treating them as Spiritual Objects to amplify the array’s power.

The five basic arrays in the Five Elements Birth and Death don’t require Spiritual Objects to start.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t use Spiritual Objects.

Having Spiritual Objects would elevate the power of these basic arrays.

"The Gold-Breaking Array is the most potent among the five basic arrays."

"A Mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator may not withstand it."

"The Gold-Breaking Array I’ve set up, with those Spiritual Stones aiding the array’s power, should pose a threat to Late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators."

"Not sure if it’s enough to deal with this Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Star Erosion."

After Liou Yuan activated the array, his figure had already retreated from the array’s coverage, standing at the array’s edge, watching the situation inside the Gold-Breaking Array with anticipation.

The golden light emanating from the Gold-Breaking Array dyed the features of his face a golden hue.

Inside the array, the golden needles formed suddenly and poured towards the Star Erosion that had stepped in.

They mercilessly bombarded on the Star Erosion’s skin, which was as tough as a Magical Artifact.

Clang clang clang!!!

As the golden needles met its stone-textured skin, a continuous metallic sound reverberated, resonant and unending.

Inside the array, the Star Erosion was being beaten back, temporarily suppressed by the array’s force.

Taking a closer look, Liou Yuan realized the array’s formidable power had not truly breached its defense, leaving only shallow marks on the surface.

Clearly, this Gold-Breaking Array was able to deal with ordinary Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer beings but couldn’t pose a lethal threat to the Star Erosion.

"Being a basic array, it’s already quite impressive to achieve this much." Liou Yuan thought optimistically.

If not for the Spiritual Stones used as the array’s core being of Earth element.

Earth nourishes metal, enhancing the Gold-Breaking Array’s power.

Otherwise, even suppression might not be possible, and it would break the array in an instant.

At the same time, through setting up the Gold-Breaking Array, Liou Yuan proved that his method of using stones, stripped from the Star Erosion, as core objects was feasible.

"Hmph, the number of Spiritual Stones is still too few."

"Having dozens or even a hundred Spiritual Stones as array cores, even a basic Gold-Breaking Array could kill a Late-stage Qi Cultivation Star Erosion."

Liou Yuan snorted, aligning his index and middle fingers, and gestured a Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects technique.

Boom! Instantly, the Canglan Sword sheathed at his back was drawn out.

As the Gold-Breaking Array struggled to dispatch the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Star Erosion.

After enduring the initial attack from the Gold-Breaking Array, the Star Erosion began breaking toward the array’s edge.

Its massive, burly stone body fiercely rammed against the Gold-Breaking Array’s barrier edge.

Shaking this basic array to its foundation.

After all, the Gold-Breaking Array, being an attack-type killing array, had negligible defense, and several collisions started cracking the array barrier.

A few more hits and it would break through.

Once the array barrier breaks, the Array Disc buried underground will also shatter, causing Liou Yuan much heartache.

Thus, he wielded the Canglan Sword and charged into the Gold-Breaking Array, aggressively attacking the Star Erosion.

Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill’s first strike, Rain Curtain Stealth unleashed.

The sword speed of Rain Curtain Stealth is the fastest among Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill.

Perfectly matched with Liou Yuan’s Stepping Wave Body Skill.

Both were incredibly fast.

So Liou Yuan discovered during combat that using Stepping Wave to bolster the sword technique could increase Rain Curtain Stealth’s speed by nearly fifty percent.

It could be said this was currently the most potent sword technique Liou Yuan could wield.

Whoosh! A verdant sword light flashed within the Gold-Breaking Array.

Liou Yuan’s figure vanished momentarily with the sword’s execution.

Upon reappearing, he was already five meters behind the Star Erosion.

Boom! Sword withdrawn, Liou Yuan calmly turned to look at the Star Erosion behind him.

Its massive torso stiffened first.

Then, under Liou Yuan’s indifferent gaze, without any sound, it crumbled.

The surging hidden force of the sword technique exploded from within the Star Erosion, cutting its body into dozens of fragments.
