American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 276: Racing Against Time
```
The pale purple potion smeared on the Sun Golden Scripture caused Xu Yi’s face to change dramatically.
Under the effect of the potion, the pages of the scripture became dim, and what was worse, the inscriptions started to fade away and seemed likely to disappear soon.
Xu Yi abruptly closed the Sun Golden Scripture.
The potion was some kind of alchemical product that only took effect upon exposure to sufficient air when the pages were opened, which was why Xu Yi had not been able to detect it until then.
Xu Yi, who could see in the dark, realized that closing the pages did nothing at all, as air was just a catalyst; once the reaction began, it was irreversible.
Xu Yi detected the scent of conspiracy.
The material of the Sun Golden Scripture was unique; not even flames could destroy it. Clearly, this particular alchemical potion was specially made to target the Sun Golden Scripture.
Ring of Destruction!
The name of that organization flashed through his mind again, as those capable of scheming these events, and bearing a grudge against him, could only be the Ring of Destruction.
No wonder the Golden Scorpion appeared so abruptly, no wonder the Sun Golden Scripture was so easily obtained—everything could be explained now.
"It seems they want to trap me to death here!" Xu Yi understood the Ring of Destruction’s intentions.
But he quickly had no time to think about these things, as he reopened the Sun Golden Scripture and sniffed it, a quick way to detect the components of the potion.
The essence of the Black Aoflower!
A peculiar, pungent scent wafted up, and Xu Yi inwardly sighed, indeed it contained that substance.
Having worked on the God-melting Blood potion before, Xu Yi had obviously encountered alchemical potions, and having come into contact with the Black Aoflower a few times, he recognized it immediately.
The Black Aoflower was typically used to erase inscriptions, which corresponded with the scene before him.
He took out the "Neril Cleansing Solution" from his toy space.
This was a potion created by someone named Neril, which could neutralize other alchemical potions, including the essence of the Black Aoflower.
Luckily, his habit of hoarding things in his toy space, akin to "hamster syndrome," turned out to be life-saving now.
As the Neril Cleansing Solution poured out, Xu Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief; the specially formulated cleanser was effective, and the inscriptions no longer faded.
But his heart was soon on edge again.
The Arrays on the Sun Golden Scripture began to "mold over," with light black stains spreading over them.
The alchemical potion made by the Ring of Destruction was obviously superior in rank to the Neril Cleansing Solution; to prevent the inscriptions from disappearing had already pushed it to its limit.
"What to do now!" Xu Yi grew a bit anxious.
This labyrinth might not be able to trap him to death, as no matter how powerful a maze of Arrays might be, it needed energy to operate. As long as he persisted in destroying it, the energy would eventually run out.
But being trapped for too long would severely disrupt his plans; one delay could lead to many.
If things went even worse and he were trapped for five or six years, by the time he got out, he might not even be able to keep up with the times.
Xu Yi tried to copy the Sun Golden Scripture into his Palace of Memory, only to find that it had limited effect.
The Sun Golden Scripture was precious precisely because of the "Miniature Magic Arrays", which made it utterly uncopyable.
Xu Yi gazed at the "Miniature Magic Arrays," and he couldn’t help but marvel.
The ancient Egyptian priests were truly masterful, managing to minimize the Arrays to such an extent that they could be etched into a book.
"Three hours! At most three hours, and the Arrays will become completely ineffective due to the potion’s erosion."
With time pressing, Xu Yi had no time for further thought; he pricked his finger and let his blood drip onto the first Array.
The Array was activated, a faint blue light spreading out.
Xu Yi closed his eyes slightly and felt the flow of energy within the Array.

Looking at Array diagrams was like studying from pictures, no matter how fast your hands moved, it was impossible to become a master that way.

Only by experiencing it firsthand, feeling the Array’s breath, the silky flow of Energy, and the effects coming and going, could one truly become a master-level figure.
The God-melting Blood contained Xu Yi’s thoughts, which made his senses more acute and, invisibly, accelerated his learning process.
This was an unexpected joy.
He planned to spend three hours to learn the content of the Sun Golden Scripture!
If others knew about this, they would certainly think he had gone mad, but there was no other way, the best solution at hand was to learn the content of the Sun Golden Scripture.
Although it was a crazy idea, Xu Yi still had some confidence.
When he first learned the "Herbal Record of Diana," the original witch, it took him only four hours, and if he could improve his efficiency a bit more, it wasn’t impossible.
He hoped the "Genius of Mysticism" Entries would lend him some strength! Xu Yi shouted inwardly.
Moments later, Xu Yi opened his eyes, his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The first step of learning had hit a Waterloo, the Array was indeed activated, and he could vaguely sense the flow of its Energy.
But he did not understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Without explanations and left to fumble on his own, who knew when he could decipher the principles within.
In other words, in order to learn the Knowledge of Magic Arrays on the Sun Golden Scripture, he first had to learn a language.
But ancient Egyptian was obscure and difficult to grasp, and not even a genius could learn it in a short period of time.

What was even more fatal was that ancient Egyptian did not fall within the scope of Mysticism; the "Genius of Mysticism" Entries were useless.
There was simply not enough time!
"The Array of Nicu."
A faint female voice came from beside him, and Xu Yi sharply turned his head, staring intently at Mo Yi, "You understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs?"
Mo Yi nodded and explained, "The introduction says that this is the Array of Nicu, mainly used for defense."
That’s right! How did he not think of it before? If Mo Yi could decipher something like the "Ghostly Talisman," what was so strange about recognizing ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs?
Hope reignited in Xu Yi’s heart.
"The Sun Golden Scripture has been smeared with Alchemical Potion, and the Array on it will soon become invalid, you help me translate the ancient Egyptian on it," Xu Yi quickly explained.
He took out paper and pen from the toy space and handed them to Mo Yi, looking into her eyes, "Make sure there are no mistakes, otherwise we will both be trapped to death here!"
Mo Yi nodded, she was clearer about the horrors of the Havara Labyrinth than Xu Yi and was in no position to hinder the process.
With Mo Yi’s translated content, Xu Yi’s learning speed of the Sun Golden Scripture was like "a bicycle turning into a motorcycle," instantly soaring.
"It actually took ten minutes!" Xu Yi roughly grasped the first Array and subconsciously glanced at the time, his eyebrows involuntarily knitted.
The Arrays on the Sun Golden Scripture were extremely abstruse, among all the Mysticism materials he had ever encountered, they definitely ranked at the top.
What was worse, this was only the first Array, the difficulty would only increase as he progressed.
With his current pace, there was absolutely no way to learn the entire content of the Sun Golden Scripture before the Array expired.
Xu Yi resolutely decided to cheat, "Super Brain Calculation" activated!
The side effects of this Ability were very strong, he rarely used it, but now there was no room for consideration, no matter the method, as long as it could speed up the learning process even slightly, he was willing to try it.
Under the effect of "Super Brain Calculation," the anxious look on Xu Yi’s face disappeared, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to learning.
The shackles of his brain were unlocked, it was like an old computer suddenly being replaced by a supercomputer, a constant stream of information flooded his mind, then being swiftly analyzed.
He had only one thought in his mind at that moment, faster, even faster!
