Yan Li had a life-saving technique that he rarely used. Because he could not use it, even Yan Shiyi, who knew him the best, did not know of its existence.
The reason why the Eight Groups of Spiritual Beings were able to dominate the Era of the Celestial Dragon was that they all had the Innate Mystiques of Fusion and Devouring. Fusion was the fusion of multiple individuals into one, allowing them to control multiple magical powers and Mystiques perfectly. Devouring was the fusion of different individuals to obtain a portion of magical powers and Mystiques. Through devouring, their magical powers would undergo a quantitative change, and through fusion, their magical powers would undergo a qualitative change. Because of this, the two of them became the strongest in the Era of Jambu.
Ever since the curse happened, Yan Li began to study it. He discovered the characteristics of fusion. After many attempts, he learned how to fuse with the 49 Taoist Guardian Divine Beasts under Ramadan. If he fused all of them, he would obtain 49 types of magical powers. Of course, he could only fuse one at a time. This was because every time he fused, the curse would erode his soul faster.
The curse was so terrifying that he rarely used it in battle. The talents of the 49 Taoist Guardian Divine Beasts included most of the Mystiques that could be seen in the world: Invisibility, Shrinking Distance, Overturning Seas and Rivers, Summoning Wind and Rain, Transforming Beans into Soldiers, and so on. Even though he did not use it often, the characteristics of fusion had helped him through many life-threatening situations. For example, when he spied on Gongsun Boyue, if he did not have the Invisibility Mystique, he would not have been able to escape from an Earth Perfected Immortal. Later on, because he had used too much of the curse, he lost his consciousness and was possessed by the Heavenly Yaksha.
Now that he had fused with the Great Metropolis, he tore Thunder Mountain apart under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes. This place had stood for thousands of years, carried the supreme Confucian orthodoxy, and nurtured the descendants of the Five Elements Court for hundreds of generations. However, this tear had caused permanent damage to it.
This was not all. The effect of this tear was far beyond anyone's imagination.
Great changes occurred in Thunder Mountain. The power of death hatred penetrated into the underground palace and destroyed Xue Tianya's Immortal State. Bai Xing took the opportunity to destroy the Stone of Five Elements, causing a huge explosion.
This Stone of the Five Elements was naturally not an ordinary item. It was made by pouring the power of the Five Elements into a meteorite. It was the result of hundreds of Great Grandmasters of the Five Elements Court's painstaking efforts. In addition, it had been absorbing the power of the Dragon Veins for thousands of years. The power of the Five Elements contained in it was almost endless. One could imagine how terrifying this explosion was.
Madness of the Lava Abyss
Thundercrash Mountain began to sink and compress. The bottom of the mountain was swallowed up by the destructive energy layer by layer, and the height of the mountain naturally began to drop. The people outside could only feel the earth shake and the mountain cave in, as if the end of the world had arrived. The aftermath of the destructive energy seeped out. Everything within a 10 mile radius of Thundercrash Mountain was completely razed to the ground.
Close to a hundred thousand spectators fled in panic. If it were not for Swallow Fort driving them away, they would have all died without a grave.
At this time, the Five Elements Array had long since disappeared. The fierce killing atmosphere had completely dissipated. Everyone hugged the buildings or trees around them in horror. Even if there were enemies nearby, they could kill them with a single slash of their saber. In this natural disaster, besides shivering, they didn't dare to make any other movements.
Perhaps Thundercrash Mountain had reached its limit, and this disaster was a chain reaction that had accumulated over countless years. Because the magma beneath Thundercrash Mountain was sealed with the power of the Five Elements, it would not erupt. The source was the Five Elements Array, and after the great explosion, the magma of the Lava Abyss had been pushed down layer by layer. After the power of the explosion dissipated, the double pressure disappeared, and the Lava Abyss violently rebounded. Massive amounts of magma shot up into the sky like a reborn fire dragon.
The leaden clouds in the sky were torn apart by the magma. Then, the magma rose to a certain height and began to fall back down. It was like a meteor shower. Countless balls of magma howled down, smashing into various parts of Thundercrash Mountain. Countless pavilions, exotic flowers, lakes, gardens, and everything else that made up the Five Elements Court were destroyed. Hundreds of years, thousands of years, hundreds of generations of descendants, the Five Elements Court that had been painstakingly created, had been destroyed by this rain of fire.
Seeing such a large scale rain of fire, the exhausted Li Kuofu instantly became excited. She cried out, leapt high into the sky, and threw herself at the largest ball of magma.
Magma was also called earthfire by cultivators. It wasn't the ordinary fire that burned underground, but the stone itself that burned underground. The difference between the earthfire of the mortal world and the earthfire of the Heavenly Paradise was enormous. For instance, the pair of fire dragons that protected the Five Elements Stone were real creatures that had been bred from this earthfire.
Thus, to Li Kuofu, this earthfire was no less than a miracle medicine. She absorbed a bit of true energy from the earthfire and recovered some of her strength. Then, she released her magic domain. Her Law Domain was usually not particularly powerful, but with the raging fire, it was extremely powerful
However, when the fire was raging, its effect was far greater than that of a Divine State — it could control the earthfire.
"Kids, what are you waiting for? The counterattack has begun!"
When the falling magma hit the bodies of the people from Swallow Dock, it became their armor. When it hit the heads of the people from the Five Elements Court, it became a fatal weapon. The situation had been reversed in an exaggerated manner. Swallow Dock quickly organized the survivors and launched a killing spree against the enemy.
In the underground palace, after the explosion, Bai Xing limped back from where she came from. Suddenly, her path was blocked. She had to stop.
Xue Tianya, who was in a sorry state, stood up with his hands on the wall. He smoothed out his messy hair, coughed lightly, and said with a bitter smile: "Miss Bai Xing, actually, I will never let you destroy the Five Elements Stone, even if you go back on your words... But I did not expect Brother Yan to be so strong. I failed to protect the Five Elements Stone and failed to live up to the Headmaster's trust. Now, I have no choice but to capture you and bring you back … "Then, he threw a net from his sleeve and trapped Bai Xing.
Bai Xing had exhausted all her strength and couldn't resist. Xue Tianya only caught her and didn't do anything else. After resting for a while, he left through the secret passage.
On the other side, Li Xiang Jun, who Yuan Shulin had been searching for a long time, met up with Zhao Ting, who was holding Zhao Zhijing in custody in a ruined hall of the Wood Word Yard.
"Madam, I've caught her. What should I do with her?" Zhao Ting squinted at the sky. After confirming that no earthfire fell here, he felt a little relieved.
Li Xiang Jun was still thinking about something. She glanced at the dejected Zhao Zhijing and didn't say anything.
After a while, the scout leader, Ji Qing Hou, led several scouts into the hall. He cupped his fists at Li Xiang Jun and said, "Madam, I've found her. The Heaven of Linglong is in the Wood Word Yard."
"The two of you did well." Only then did Li Xiang Jun reveal a smile. Even though she looked haggard, she was still moving and lovable.
Zhao Ting was stunned. He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her. He said, "Madam, does this guy have a grudge against Young Master?"
Zhao Zhijing's face turned pale. He said, "I, I have never offended Yan Shifang. Why, why did you capture me?"
