Chapter 1075: Destruction of the Five Elements
"I'm afraid I've seen something incredible."
Ye Zichen sighed inwardly as he studied the landscape painting. He'd already guessed that the two men on the raft were unfathomable figures of the God Realm.
Everything had its karma. When he heard this, he wanted to withdraw his consciousness from the painting.
He might be a tyrant in the seventy-two districts, but in the context of the Nine Divine Mountains, he wouldn't even count as a small shrimp.
Being tainted by the karma of such peerless existences was no good!
"Should I leave?"
Ye Zichen asked himself over and over again. Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't been tainted by karma yet, it might be best to leave as soon as possible.
But deep in his heart, Ye Zichen wanted to keep watching. This was a top secret. Ordinary people had no chance of seeing it.
"I doubt a peerless existence like that would notice a nobody like me. Dammit, I've already seen this much karma. What's there to be afraid of? "
After a moment's hesitation, he steeled his resolve and continued watching.
The scene in the landscape painting changed. The bamboo raft swayed, and the boatman wearing a bamboo hat disappeared from the boat. The mountains in the distance disappeared as well. Only this small bamboo raft and the two supreme beings sitting cross-legged on the bamboo raft remained in the world within the painting.
In response to the Five Elements Great Emperor's questions, the golden-robed man shook his head and laughed. He didn't agree with the Five Elements Great Emperor's words.
"You say I usurped your celestial fate, stole your good fortune, and stole your rightful position. Do you have any proof?"
"Hah ….."
The bleak Five Elements Great Emperor smiled indifferently. In an instant, his aura surged, but the rippling surface of the lake calmed down.
"Out of the two emperors of Tianze, I am the leader of the nine heavens. Do you dare say you didn't usurp my celestial fate?"
"The myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth serve me, and the Great Dao of the Five Elements surrounds me. Do you dare say you didn't steal my good fortune?"
"The myriad races worship me and call me emperor. I am the leader of the yao and demons. Do you dare say you didn't steal my rightful position?"
The three questions exploded like thunder. The winds howled, and the sun and moon trembled. The Five Elements Great Emperor stared at the golden-robed man with bloodshot eyes. The fury in his heart erupted like a volcano.
Just by looking at this landscape painting, one could feel the imposing aura coming from it. It was as if all living things in the world would bow down to it. Ye Zichen had to admit, he'd never seen such an aura before.
On the contrary, the golden-robed man acted as if he did not feel the monstrous anger in front of him. He lifted the wine pot and filled his cup to the brim. When the cup was placed back on the table, he smiled faintly.
"But the current God Emperor is me."
The man in the golden robe stood up from the bamboo raft with a chuckle. He looked at the lake that was so far away that he could not see the end of it. He stood on the bamboo raft with his hands behind his back.
"No matter how much you say, the current God Emperor of the God Clan is me, right?"
"That's why I called you despicable!" the Five Elements Great Emperor shouted through gritted teeth.
No matter what the Five Elements Great Emperor said, the golden-robed man stood indifferently on the bamboo raft. He didn't retort. After a long while, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake once more. Only then did he turn around and look at the Five Elements Great Emperor indifferently.
"Winner takes all, isn't that so? You should know that I don't want to kill you. Hand over the Great Dao of the Five Elements, and I can spare your life. "
"Haha …. Hahahaha …."
The Five Elements Great Emperor threw his head back and laughed uproariously. His laughter caused the surface of the lake to explode. Countless splashes of water splashed onto the bamboo raft, drenching everyone on it.
"You want the orthodox Five Elements? Dream on!"
With that, the Five Elements Great Emperor's expression darkened. He roared in fury.
"Rain falls, wind rises, lightning appears, thunder rolls, fire burns …."
Instantly, a torrential downpour descended from the sky, and fierce winds howled without end. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the azure sky. Countless strands of heavenly fire fell from the sky to the center of the lake, where they burned fiercely.
"This is the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth that you've always wanted. Unfortunately, Zhou Wu, you'll never be able to obtain this emperor's power of the five elements. Even if I have to destroy it, I won't be able to unify your Daos. You'll never be able to take that final step."
In an instant, a pair of hands that were large enough to cover the entire sky reached out from the sky. The golden-robed man's expression changed drastically. He formed a seal with both hands, and an illusory image of a hand that was not much weaker than the giant hand moved towards the giant hand, as if he wanted to stop it from descending.
"Laughable!"
The Five Elements Great Emperor laughed arrogantly. He pushed his right hand down, and the giant hands in the sky followed his movements and slammed down on the lake.
The golden-robed man's giant hands were shattered by the giant hands in the sky. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his eyes flashed with fear. His golden robes fell off his body, and he transformed into a scarecrow that landed on the bamboo raft.
"Five Elements, how dare you!"
He never would have guessed that the golden-robed man on the raft was just a substitute. A thunderous roar boomed out from the ends of the sky.
The Five Elements Great Emperor's expression was one of unbridled arrogance. He narrowed his eyes at the ends of the sky, then his gaze filled with madness.
"Zhou Wu, you'll never be able to take that final step again. Hahaha …. You think you've defeated me, but I haven't lost either!"
The giant hands covered the sky and descended. Instantly, the Five Elements Great Emperor's Dao of the Five Elements vanished, along with the lake, the sky, and the bamboo raft …..
Heaven and earth disappeared, and what came into view was boundless darkness.
Ye Zichen, who'd witnessed it all, was shaken to the core. His body trembled uncontrollably. Everything had vanished. He didn't know what had happened after the painting, but even so, he could sense the power contained within that giant hand that blotted out the sky, enough to destroy the world!
Had the Five Elements Great Emperor really destroyed the Dao of the Five Elements? If that was the case, how could he still comprehend the power of the five elements?
"Junior!"
At this moment, a burly man walked out of the chaos. He wore a purplish-red dragon robe and sat on a dragon throne with ferocious dragon eyes. Although his expression was calm, he radiated power without being angry.
Ye Zichen was astonished. This was none other than the Five Elements Great Emperor from the painting.
"Since you obtained my landscape painting, you must be fated with me. I don't know if you're a man or a woman, or if you're proficient in the five elements. But since you can see this, it means you've been tainted by my and Zhou Wu's karma. "
"There are three scrolls of this landscape painting, all of which I painted when I was alive. This painting is also the key to my tomb."
"That traitor Zhou Wu stole my celestial fate, stole my good fortune, and stole my rightful position. When I was alive, he plotted against me, and I died a horrible death. But if I don't get my revenge, I won't be able to rest easy. If you're fated to collect all three paintings, enter my tomb. I've left you good fortune there. "
