Chapter 412: Truth Exposed, Countdown to Doomsday

"This is a rare opportunity," Lin Xuan's heart sank, knowing he could no longer hold anything back, "Wood Element Profound Meaning: Life Burst!"

With a sharp shout, all the Wood Element Energy within Lin Xuan's body was completely detonated at this moment. A torrent of emerald-green energy erupted from his body, transforming into countless vine-like energy beams that lashed out at the Void Lord from every angle. This was one of the strongest burst techniques of the Wood Element system, and the price was that the Practitioner would fall into a state of extreme weakness after use.

Caught off guard, the Void Lord was bound by dozens of energy vines, and the powerful Life Energy began to continuously dissolve the Void Energy within his body. The Lord struggled and resisted, but the power of the Wood Element Profound Meaning far exceeded his expectations; the bindings grew tighter and tighter, and finally, with a roar of unwillingness, the Void Lord was pushed out of the venue by a massive surge of energy, crashing heavily into a distant wall and falling into a brief coma.

Seeing the Lord defeated and retreating, the morale of the remaining Black-Clothed Persons plummeted, and their offensive weakened significantly. At the same time, Lin Xuan's team members successfully repelled another group of enemies and arrived to provide support.

Taking this opportunity, the guardians completely stabilized the Earth Element Array. The brownish-yellow Earth Element Energy grew strong once more, forming a shield above the Aoti Zhongxin that isolated the Void Energy outside.

Lin Xuan leaned weakly against a pillar, his right arm hanging powerlessly, the wound still oozing black-red blood. He used his left hand to take a first-aid potion from his backpack and poured it onto the wound with a tremble. The bone-chilling pain made the veins on his forehead bulge, but he did not let out a single groan.

"Teacher Lin!" The guardians gathered around, checking his injuries with concern.

"It is nothing," Lin Xuan managed to squeeze out a faint smile, "To be able to protect the Earth Element Array Eye, this little injury is nothing."

Just as he was about to ask about the situation at the other Array Eyes, the sound of rhythmic footsteps and the clamor of military communication equipment suddenly came from outside the venue. A fully armed squad of soldiers quickly entered the building, efficiently sealing off all entrances and exits, and began to clear the battlefield.

Lin Jiangjun led the team personally and strode toward Lin Xuan: "What is the situation?"

"Our side has temporarily stabilized the Array Eye, but the enemy's main force has yet to appear," Lin Xuan answered concisely, "What about the other locations?"

"All deployments are complete," Lin Jiangjun said with a grave expression, "We have established a cordon under the guise of an anti-terrorism drill, effectively preventing more enemies from approaching. But the situation is more complex than anticipated; Yage's power far exceeds our assessment."

At this moment, unexpected news came through the communicator: "Lin Xuan, a major discovery! Dragon Marshal is personally leading a team to support the Fire Element Array Eye, the abilities they are displaying... you must see it with your own eyes!" Zhou Zhuo's voice could not hide his excitement.

"Dragon Marshal? The military also has Practitioners?" Lin Xuan looked at Lin Jiangjun in surprise.

Lin Jiangjun nodded slightly: "The military has always maintained its own tradition of cultivation, only it is more focused on practical application rather than the systematic research of the academies. Dragon Marshal's strength is second to none among the military Practitioners; with him taking the field personally, the situation should be brought under control."

This news put Lin Xuan's heart slightly at ease. With the support of military Practitioners, the hope of holding the Array Eyes had greatly increased. He quickly adjusted his train of thought and began to consider how to use the current situation to launch a counterattack.

"I need to establish contact with the person in charge of each Array Eye immediately," Lin Xuan said to Lin Jiangjun, "We now have the opportunity to activate a backup plan."

With Lin Jiangjun's assistance, communication between the five Array Eyes was quickly established. The holographic images of Xiao Yuan, Zhou Zhuo, Xu Feng, and the other persons in charge appeared before Lin Xuan.

"We must use this opportunity to activate the Five Elements Energy resonance," Lin Xuan went straight to the point, "Let the five Array Eyes support each other and form a dynamic balance."

Xiao Yuan's expression changed: "That requires extremely precise energy control, and the consumption is enormous..."

"There is no choice," Lin Xuan said firmly, "This is currently the only method that can significantly increase the defensive power of the Urban Great Array in a short time. I will act as the Wood Element node to coordinate the flow of energy between the systems."

Zhou Zhuo frowned: "Your injuries..."

"It is no hindrance," Lin Xuan shook his head, "Now, I need every person in charge to accurately adjust the energy output of their respective Array Eyes, fluctuating according to the frequency I taught you before. Xu Feng, can you use the city's power grid to provide additional energy support for the Array?"

Xu Feng nodded: "I was prepared. The Jinrong Zhongxin has already connected three backup power stations and can convert electrical energy into Array energy at any time."

"Very good," Lin Xuan took a deep breath, "Prepare to begin the Five Elements resonance."

Under Lin Xuan's guidance, the persons in charge of the five Array Eyes began to precisely adjust the energy frequencies of their respective Arrays. The five-colored energy light pillars gradually resonated above the city, beginning to fluctuate at a specific rhythm. Lin Xuan sat cross-legged beside the Earth Element Array Eye, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, pouring all his concentration into the energy harmonization.

With Wood Element Energy as the starting point of the Five Elements Energy Cycle, Lin Xuan had to constantly fine-tune the output frequency and intensity of the Wood Element Energy to ensure that the other four elemental energies could operate in coordination. This high-level Array consumed an immense amount of mental energy; in just a few minutes, dense beads of sweat seeped from Lin Xuan's forehead, and his face grew increasingly pale.

Gradually, the fluctuation frequencies of the five-colored energy light pillars began to align, forming a perfect resonance. The energy between the Array Eyes began to support one another; when one Array Eye was attacked, the other four would immediately provide energy replenishment, keeping the entire system stable.

At the same time, Xu Feng activated the backup plan, and the electrical energy in the city's power grid was converted into pure energy by special equipment and injected into the Array system, further strengthening the defensive power of the Urban Great Array.

With the intervention of the military and the success of the Five Elements linkage, the battle began to turn in a favorable direction. The enemies at each Array Eye were gradually repelled, and the defensive system returned to stability.

On the top floor of the Xingchen Keji Zongbu Dalou, inside a massive monitoring room, a wall composed of dozens of high-definition screens displayed the real-time battle conditions at the five Array Eye locations. Yang Zhiyuan stood before the central console, his expression unusually tense, his fingers tapping the surface of the desk unconsciously.

"It shouldn't be like this," he muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the figures in military uniforms on the screens, "How could the military suddenly intervene?"

The plan, which had been progressing smoothly, was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the army, and the attacking teams at various Array Eyes fell into a passive state one after another. What was even more unexpected was that the military actually had Practitioners, and their strength was not to be underestimated. The image of Dragon Marshal personally leading a team to guard the Fire Element Array Eye was particularly glaring; the combat power displayed by that squad of military Practitioners was not even inferior to the elite disciples of the Five Elements Academy.

The temperature in the monitoring room dropped suddenly, and Yang Zhiyuan's breath formed white mist in the air. A suffocating sense of oppression came from behind him; he did not need to turn around to know that Yage's Void form was coalescing.

"You promised that the military would not interfere." Yage's voice was like metal rubbing together, carrying obvious anger.
