He grabbed at the air, enveloping the Phoenix Emperor and Lin Xuan. He tore through space and rushed forward. Just as he left, he saw the Bridge of Helplessness and an osmanthus tree land where he was just now.
Rip!
The space turned into ashes, and the feathers were blown into powder. A huge black hole appeared in the surroundings.
Bang!
Su Yin spat out a mouthful of blood. The Phoenix Emperor and Lin Xuan could not withstand it either, and their faces turned pale.
With this escape, he could no longer hide and was exposed in the air.
"Although the Phoenix Feather's concealment effect is not bad, it's still a little weak against a half-step Rule Realm expert. Do you really think that we won't notice you hiding here?"
Saint Toad Laurel chuckled, and the osmanthus tree in his hand fluttered like wind chimes.
The Saint of Helplessness also stood at the bridge. His cultivation could tear through heaven and earth, and he had a playful smile on his face.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, completely sealed off the surrounding space, blocking all of Su Yin's escape routes.
The Saint of Helplessness said, "You've only been in the Celestial World for two days, and you've already caused such a huge commotion. You broke through to the Saint Realm and established a Saint Realm. If we let you live, the Celestial World will fall into chaos again …"
Su Yin frowned. "The purpose of your battle just now was to get close to me and take the opportunity to seal the space?"
"We'll have to fight sooner or later. However, compared to this, killing you is more important!"
Saint Toad Laurel turned his head and said, "Brother Helplessness, this kid is full of tricks. To prevent any accidents from happening, let's attack together!"
The Saint of Helplessness nodded and did not say much. Under his cold gaze, the bridge suddenly shook and pressed down.
Space collapsed layer by layer, and the area within a hundred miles instantly turned into hell. The bridge immediately became a strange object that accepted the dead. Only by walking on it could it continue to exist. Otherwise, it would be beyond redemption.
"A bridge to break life and death … This is the Two Realms Chaos Technique. Don't go on the bridge, and don't fall into hell. Otherwise, you'll definitely die …"
The Phoenix Emperor's nervous voice sounded.
"Alright, let me see just how strong a half-step Rule Realm expert is!"
After replying, Su Yin let out a long roar. The True Dragon Sword appeared, turned into a huge bone dragon, and crashed towards the bridge.
At the same time, the Heaven Measuring Ruler appeared and faced the osmanthus tree that Saint Toad Laurel had swept over.
How powerful was a half-step Rule Realm cultivator? When the two forces collided, the True Dragon Sword and Heaven Measuring Ruler were sent flying at the same time. Su Yin's face also turned ghastly pale as he was sent flying while vomiting blood.
He seemed to have been seriously injured.
"Su Yin …"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan was severely injured and that she would not be able to escape, the Phoenix Monarch reverted back to her original form. A massive crimson phoenix abruptly appeared, and it opened its beak and spewed phoenix flames.
"This kind of power is not enough!"
Laughing heartily, the bridge tore through the void. Unfortunately, the Sage pressed down again, forcing the flames down into the hells below. The hells began to seethe with mist, and looked even more ferocious than before.
"Phoenix Emperor, the Bridge of Helplessness has the ability to absorb energy. The more it attacks, the stronger it becomes …"
Su Yin shouted.
After his and the Phoenix Monarch's attacks, the bridge had clearly become thicker. The hells' seething mist seemed to have materialized, and it was filled with bizarre colors. It was like a massive beast that could swallow people up at any moment.
"It's too late to see it now!"
With a light chuckle, the Sage of Helplessness raised the Bridge of Helplessness once more and pressed it down on Su Yin.
The bridge was already powerful to begin with, and with his current cultivation, the surrounding air seemed to have turned into chaos, and huge vortexes appeared one after another.
Just like a small boat encountering a typhoon, Su Yin could capsize at any moment.
At this critical moment, he took a deep breath and suddenly moved. The nineteen types of power of laws fused into one, and a ferocious energy gathered in his dantian. In an instant, a sword qi that tore through the sky appeared. It carried courage, benevolence, wisdom, and many other powers as it whizzed toward the Sage of Helplessness's throat.
Previously, he had only displayed the strength of a grade-four pinnacle cultivator. At this moment, his cultivation of a grade-five pinnacle cultivator suddenly burst forth. Countless auspicious clouds illuminated the sky, and the word 'Saint' appeared once more.
"You … grade-five pinnacle?"
The Sage of Helplessness didn't expect that the other party would be able to fuse nineteen types of True Sage's laws so quickly and comprehend such a powerful sword art. The Sage of Helplessness's face darkened, and he raised the bridge once more.
However, the speed of the sword qi was too fast. Before the bridge could reach him, the sword qi had already appeared before him.
Si la!
Retreating quickly, the Sage of Helplessness's face was still slashed open.
"You dare to injure me?"
The Sage of Helplessness's hair stood on end as he roared madly. His fury soared into the sky, sweeping in all directions.
Even though he had been caught off guard by the other party, he was still a half-step Rule realm expert, one of the strongest cultivators in the world. For him to be injured by an eighteen-year-old youth still made him feel like he had lost a lot of face.
"Die!"
With a roar, a fist blasted toward Zhang Xuan.
Although his strongest attack was the Bridge of Helplessness, his fist was still very terrifying. [Fist of Helplessness on the Bridge of Helplessness, Never See You in the Three Lives Yellow Springs]. As soon as the Fist of Helplessness appeared, it immediately shattered the surrounding space and broke through the shackles of space and time, appearing in front of him.
With a grim expression, Su Yin took a step back and stabbed out with the Human Sovereign Sword.
At the same time, a ball of scorching flames appeared in the sky. Following that, a huge claw tore through the air toward the bridge.
Xiao Wu!
The Undying Bird hidden in the Origin Energy Pearl had made its move.
Even though its cultivation was at the pinnacle of the sixth rank, it wasn't weaker than the other party. However, when paired with the Undying Bird's divine beast bloodline, it wasn't any weaker than the Sage of Helplessness.
With the two moves executed at the same time, the Hell under the bridge couldn't withstand it anymore. Cracks appeared on it, and the bridge kept shaking as if it would fall from the sky at any moment.
The Hell could devour energy to become stronger, but there was a limit to it. Xiao Wu's attack had clearly exceeded that limit.
Not expecting the other party to be hiding an Undying Bird that wasn't any weaker than him, the Sage of Helplessness's face turned ghastly pale. His body shrank into a ball, and he quickly retreated.
The bridge shook, tearing through space as if it wanted to teleport away.
Just the Human Sovereign Sword was enough to make him suffer. Coupled with Xiao Wu, even if he was at the half-step of the laws, it wouldn't be that easy. If he wasn't careful, he would die.
Therefore, the best way was to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.
To be able to live for tens of thousands of years in the Immortal World and reach the pinnacle, he naturally wouldn't be a reckless person who would act on impulse.
"Still not going to make your move?"
Just as he was about to escape into the void, Su Yin roared.
Along with his words, Saint Toad Laurel, who had been preparing to kill him, suddenly pulled down the osmanthus tree in his hand. The branches and leaves scattered, and the osmanthus flowers filled the sky, turning into sharp daggers that stabbed over in unison.
"You …"
Not expecting this person to suddenly stab him in the back, the Sage of Helplessness's scalp exploded. He was puzzled. "Why?!"
Su Yin and Firmament had long been enemies. No matter how he thought about it, Firmament would cooperate with him and kill the other party first. Who would have thought that Firmament would suddenly betray him?
Sage Toad Laurel smiled gently. "Sorry, my Junior Brother's arm needs your Bridge of Helplessness to recover …"
Firmament and Netherworld Sages didn't get along well. At this moment, it was best to have the opportunity to kill one of the other party's generals and help his Junior Brother recondense his arm.
Once this opportunity was missed, it would be impossible for this Sage of Helplessness to appear again!
Therefore, it wasn't that she wanted to help Su Yin, but that she wanted to kill this person first. After killing him, she could deal with the youth later. Otherwise, if she really wanted to attack Su Yin now, the other party might attack her.
They weren't on the same side. Alliance … was just a pretense!
"Haha!"
Su Yin's eyes lit up when he saw that the other party really did make a move after he casually shouted.
This Sage Toad Laurel must have secretly ambushed him to kill Helplessness.
Therefore, he concluded that as long as he delayed the latter and gained the upper hand, Sage Toad Laurel would most likely make a move.
An alliance formed by interests was not strong to begin with. With greater interests driving it, it would naturally collapse.
Bang!
The three experts used all their strength at the same time. How could the Sage of Helplessness resist? His fist bled, and the Bridge of Helplessness shook continuously. The hell below seemed to be torn apart.
"Damn it, damn it!" The Sage of Helplessness roared. He blocked Sage Toad Laurel's osmanthus tree, but he couldn't block Su Yin's Human Emperor Sword Qi.
The sharp sword intent cut through the mud of hell and stabbed into his chest. With a slight twist, it blasted a huge hole, causing a wound that would be difficult to recover in a short time.
"I want you all to die!"
A half-step Rule Realm expert was seriously injured. The Sage of Helplessness was so angry that he was about to explode. Amidst his roar, the bridge flew across the sky and whipped toward Sage Toad Laurel.
At this moment, he hated this traitor even more.
Sage Toad Laurel quietly flashed and retreated hundreds of kilometers. At the same time, the osmanthus tree took root in the void and smashed down again.
When one is idle and the osmanthus flowers fall, the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty!
The world quieted down as if someone had pressed the mute button, and the five senses lost their function.
One of Sage Toad Laurel's strongest moves, Empty of Spring Mountain!
With one slash, it deprived the five senses and six senses. Even a Sage wouldn't be able to escape.
Lin Xuan, who was at the side, was in a daze. He wanted to move, but he couldn't.
He was only an early-stage third-stage Sage. Even if he was only affected by this kind of power, he couldn't withstand it.
"Let's go, we can't help anymore …"
Knowing the danger, Phoenix Emperor grabbed Lin Xuan and turned into a fireball, rushing forward along the Ruoshui River. In the blink of an eye, they were thousands of miles away.
Although a peak fifth-stage divine beast wasn't weak and could roam freely in the Celestial World, it was still too weak to deal with the current situation.
…
…
The battle continued.
The Sage of Helplessness spat out a mouthful of blood.
Boom!
The Bridge of Helplessness turned red and shook violently, breaking the Empty of Spring Mountain and smashing into the osmanthus tree.
Sage Toad Laurel didn't expect this person to use the Bridge of Helplessness to smash it without caring about his life. His pupils constricted, and he hurriedly retracted the osmanthus tree.
Although this was an extremely powerful treasure that had reached the peak of sixth-stage, it was still inferior to the Sage of Yellow Spring's main body.
"You want to leave? Not so easy! Even if I have to risk my life today, I'll let you know what regret is! "The Sage of Helplessness spat out another mouthful of blood.
The huge bridge expanded once more. Its speed was as fast as a shooting star.
The osmanthus tree couldn't dodge in time and collided with the bridge. Osmanthus flowers flew all over the sky. The tree trunk and roots couldn't withstand the impact, and cracks appeared on them. It was as if a rain of petals was falling from the sky.
Pu!
Sage Toady spat out blood.
This osmanthus tree was her main body. When it shattered, she was severely injured.
"What a good move, how ruthless! Helplessness, I still underestimated you. However … I wonder if you can withstand this move! "
Sage Toady's eyes were red, and her face was pale. Countless moonlight essence poured into her body from the top of her head. The moon in the sky flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it became a red moon.
"Cold Moon Night!"
A crescent-shaped energy blade appeared and slashed at the Sage of Helplessness's feet.
Puchi!
The Half-Rule realm expert had just executed a taboo move, so she couldn't dodge in time. Thus, her legs were severed.
As one of the strongest experts in the world, they had their own trump cards. Now that the moon was full, and the other party was injured, this was the best opportunity to kill her.
Without her legs, the Sage of Helplessness was no longer as imposing as before. Her Origin Energy seeped out, and the floating bridge couldn't withstand it anymore and fell from the sky.
"Qianqiu, make use of this opportunity to assimilate it!"
With a wave of her hand, the will on the Bridge of Helplessness was wiped clean, and the Bridge of Helplessness flew toward Xue Qianqiu.
All of her preparations were for this moment!
Agitated, Xue Qianqiu flew over and shouted, "Senior, help me stop Su Yin! That fellow has always been weird …"
She was scared of being robbed by that young man. Every time she obtained something good, the other party would snatch it from her … If she were to be robbed again, she would be too ashamed to face her teacher!
Before leaving, she had boasted that she would castrate him if she failed.
Knowing that her junior had succeeded in assimilating the Bridge of Helplessness, Saint Toad Osmanthus suppressed his injuries and turned to look at Su Yin.
The 'friend' who had worked together with him to kill the Sage of Helplessness was currently brandishing a sword and piercing it toward him.
The other party's timing was impeccable. It happened to be the moment when he threw out the Bridge of Helplessness.
However, having lived for tens of thousands of years, there was nothing he hadn't seen before. He had already guessed that the other party would make such a move, so he executed Cold Moon Night once more.
Just as the crescent moon was about to strike the young man, the latter suddenly vanished, and in its place was a crimson phoenix. It raised its claws and charged forward.
Phoenix of Death!
The two clashed, and an explosion occurred. Saint Toad Osmanthus was forced to retreat two steps. He turned to look at the young man's hand once more, only to see the latter grabbing the falling osmanthus tree and the Sage of Helplessness's legs into a sphere.
"You …"
Who would have thought that at such a crucial moment, this brat would not fight him or stop Xue Qianqiu, but instead snatch the Osmanthus Tree and Saint Helplessness's legs? Saint Toad Laurel's face turned ashen, revealing a strong killing intent. "Let me kill this bird first!"
Saint Toad Osmanthus was about to strike the young man when Xue Qianqiu's shout sounded, "Senior, save me!"
Saint Toad Osmanthus hurriedly turned around and saw a Qilin in the sky. Its body was covered in auspicious clouds, and its thick black hooves were smashing down toward his junior.
Even though Xue Qianqiu had comprehended something new, he hadn't made a breakthrough yet. Furthermore, he had suffered quite a bit of damage in the previous battle. His head was already bruised, and his eyes were swollen.
As for the Bridge of Helplessness, it was being held by the Qilin, and it could be snatched away at any moment.
"Damn it …"
Saint Toad Osmanthus's eyes reddened as he forced the Phoenix of Death back with a move. Then, he grabbed the Qilin.
At this moment, the young man who had snatched the leaves of the osmanthus tree appeared once more. He held a huge sphere and smashed it down from the sky.
"Is this teacher's Firmament Pearl? No … There's also the aura of the Saint Origin Pond and the ancient mulberry elm tree … "Saint Toad Osmanthus was dumbfounded.
What the heck is this?
Her teacher had so many treasures, but she wasn't even qualified to obtain them. How did all of them end up in the hands of that young man? More importantly, the young man had even managed to fuse them together, granting them strength comparable to that of a 6-star Sage!
It turned out that her junior had been giving out treasures to others all this while!
Saint Toad Osmanthus's lips twitched, and his complexion turned incredibly awful. He was just about to drive his zhenqi to block the sphere when the latter suddenly grew stronger and stronger.
"He used the Sage of Helplessness's legs as nourishment to plant my osmanthus tree in the Saint Origin Reservoir … He's intending to raise the prowess of the Firmament Pearl once more!"
Even though her osmanthus tree had been shattered, it was still the body of a Half-Law realm expert. If it was replanted, it would be able to raise the Firmament Pearl to the level of a 6-star pinnacle cultivator!
Even though it was still some distance away from reaching Half-Law realm, it would still be difficult for Saint Toad Osmanthus to deal with the Phoenix of Death and the Qilin even in her prime, let alone in her current state!
In the midst of a battle, she had managed to raise the grade of her weapon, and more importantly, she was on the verge of success …
Saint Toad Osmanthus finally understood how frightening and difficult the other party was to deal with.
While fusing the osmanthus tree to raise the Firmament Pearl's prowess seemed easy, it was actually extremely difficult. There was no one in the Celestial World who was capable of such a feat, not even her teacher. This was because one had to tap into the strength of at least seven or eight Great Daos in an instant.
Saint Toad Osmanthus knew that it would be impossible for the Firmament Pearl to continue growing stronger. Thus, he clapped his hands together, and a ball of dense moonlight shrouded the Firmament Pearl.
In order for a plant to grow, not only did it require water and nutrients, it also required light. Under the cover of the moonlight, the rate at which the Firmament Pearl was growing slowed down.
Saint Toad Osmanthus heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he was no match for the young man with the Phoenix of Death and the Truedragon Sword. Thus, he roared furiously, "Helplessness, our greatest enemy is that young man! Are we really going to watch him grow stronger and ruin the plans of our teacher and Lord Yellow Springs?"
Saint Toad Osmanthus didn't think that the other party would dare to call out to him after causing him so much trouble. Thus, he turned around and flew toward Dahei.
To him, the most important thing was to retrieve the Bridge of Helplessness.
Knowing that even though Saint Toad Osmanthus was severely injured, Dahei wouldn't be able to stop him once he charged over, Su Yin flicked his wrist, and the Heaven Measuring Ruler flew out.
Huala!
The Force of Admonishment flowed together with the Northern Underworld Water, and the advancing Saint Toad Osmanthus came to a halt.
"Let's kill him first. As for the Bridge of Helplessness, we'll discuss it later. Otherwise, we might just end up dying here … "Seeing that the other party had a powerful artifact in his possession, Sage Toad Laurel could not hold himself back any longer.
"Un!"
Saint Toad Osmanthus also understood this logic. A glint flashed across his eyes, and he didn't look for trouble with Dahei anymore. Instead, he floated in the air and looked at Su Yin.
The two half-step Precepts experts flanked him from the left and right once more.
Su Yin felt his scalp tingling. "Saint Toad Osmanthus, let's kill Saint Toad Osmanthus first. We'll discuss it later …"
"If that's the case, I'll be the one to die …" Saint Toad Osmanthus couldn't be bothered to waste his breath.
If he was at his peak, he wouldn't have been afraid of anyone. However, with the Bridge of Helplessness snatched away and his legs severed, he didn't even have a third of his strength left. If Saint Toad Osmanthus were to die, he would die as well!
Thus, even though he hated Saint Toad Osmanthus to the core and wanted to devour its flesh and marrow, he had no choice but to hold himself back.
"Indeed, this is our true cooperation. If we go against it, let the heavens strike us down!"
Saint Toad Osmanthus executed Cold Moon Night. Under the moonlight, the surface of the river turned white, as if a thick layer of ice had formed on it.
The two experts no longer held grudges against each other, and they made a move together. Su Yin immediately felt immense pressure.
The Heaven Measuring Ruler and True Dragon Sword worked together with Xiao Wu. Even so, he still felt a little flustered.
"You were beaten up so badly earlier, and yet, you're still working together with him … You sure are despicable!" Su Yin cursed.
"???" Saint Toad Osmanthus was stunned.
We are Saints, so why are we scolding others?
"There's no need to be surprised. I'm talking about you. Have you forgotten how he chopped off your legs? Once I'm killed, I can guarantee that this woman will attack you again in the next moment! Why don't we work together to kill her? I don't want any of her treasures or saint remains. They're all yours … "
Su Yin continued.
"He used the power of the Unhindered Master to interfere with us. If we fall into his trap, we'll all die here today …" Saint Toad Osmanthus roared.
"The Path of Unhindered?"
Saint Toad Osmanthus was stunned for a moment before killing intent surged. "You're courting death!"
Seeing that his words were no longer effective, Su Yin felt that it was a pity.
Earlier, he had indeed secretly used the Path of Unhindered, and the two of them were slightly affected. That was why they attacked each other, and both of them were severely injured.
However, after being injured, he understood that it was almost impossible to bewitch them anymore.
As for why he could use the Path of Unhindered, it was because one of the seven skeletons that Lin Xuan had given him was a Path of Unhindered.
The Path of Unhindered had a silver tongue, and he was best at using small to win big. Coupled with his pinnacle rank-5 strength, it was not difficult for him to trick the two half-step Precepts.
However, it was impossible for him to continue tricking them.
After slashing twice, he quickly retreated and said telepathically, "Xiao Wu, Dahei, you two block these two. I'll refine the Bridge of Helplessness first …"
Dahei and Xiao Wu flew over at the same time. The Undying Bird and the Qilin, two divine beasts that had existed since ancient times, caused the sky to distort.
Under normal circumstances, they were only at pinnacle rank-6, and there was still a gap between them and half-step Precepts. It was impossible for them to stop the two of them working together. However, Saint Toad Osmanthus had his Bridge of Helplessness taken away, his legs chopped off, and his Osmanthus Tree shattered. In a short period of time, they were locked in a stalemate.
"Lie down!"
Su Yin slashed his sword at Xue Qianqiu's right hand.
His hand was a fake. Even if it did not look weak, it would still be inferior to the original at crucial moments.
"You …"
Xue Qianqiu's scalp tingled as he retreated.
He was not a match for Zhang Xuan, and he had been robbed several times already. Even though he was furious, there was nothing he could do. He could only think of a way to stall Zhang Xuan and wait for his senior to come to his aid.
Taking a few steps back, he came up with all sorts of plans in his mind, but before he could come up with a good plan, he realized that his clothes had been stripped off, and he was naked once more.
"The heck …"
Xue Qianqiu went mad.
He was already a fifth rank Saint, and yet, he still dared to strip others. Was this something a human would do? How shameless!
"Now's the time!"
Taking off Xue Qianqiu's clothes, Su Yin took advantage of the moment when the other party was distracted and swallowed the entire Bridge of Helplessness.
Hong long long!
Even though the will within the Bridge of Helplessness had been tamed, as a saint artifact, its spirit was still resisting with all its might. It tore through space, intending to rush out, and the entire Saint Origin Pond shook violently.
"You want to leave after coming in? You must be dreaming! "
Su Yin's powerful mental energy swiftly spread out, and the roots of the ancient mulberry elm, ancient parasol tree, and osmanthus tree swiftly wrapped around the Bridge of Helplessness, trapping it like a rope.
The Bridge of Helplessness shook violently, but it was unable to move at all.
Regardless of whether it was the mulberry elm, ancient parasol tree, or osmanthus tree, they were no weaker than the Bridge of Helplessness. Coupled with the Saint Origin Pond, the Firmament Pearl, and Su Yin's will, there was no way the Bridge of Helplessness would be able to escape.
Su Yin knew that trapping the Bridge of Helplessness wouldn't be enough to resolve the current situation. He had to tame the Bridge of Helplessness first. Thus, he raised his hand and grabbed at the air.
Boom!
The legs of the Bridge of Helplessness exploded, and fresh blood splattered all over the Bridge of Helplessness.
Sensing the blood, the will within the Bridge of Helplessness began to hesitate.
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and an unparalleled Sword Intent surged through the roots of the ancient parasol tree and dived into the depths of the Bridge of Helplessness. Before the will within the Bridge of Helplessness could react, it was already reduced to dust.
Su Yin had already reached grade-5 pinnacle, and he was also a Weapon Saint. Thus, it wasn't too difficult for him to destroy an artifact spirit.
After destroying the other party's will, Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He took out a droplet of blood, and at the same time, his consciousness surged into the Bridge of Helplessness. In just a few breaths, the Bridge of Helplessness was under his control, as if it was his arm.
At the same time, the Great Dao of Blacksmithing appeared once more, and it revolved around the Origin Energy Pearl. Ding ding dang dang dang sounds echoed in the air once more. The two completely unrelated artifacts slowly began to fuse together.
The Firmament Pearl was forged by the Firmament Saint, and it represented yang. On the other hand, the Bridge of Helplessness was the Yellow Springs Saint's body, and it represented yin. With the help of yin and yang, the two artifacts were able to fuse well together.
Not to mention, the ancient mulberry elm tree was rooted on the Yellow Springs Road. Soon, the massive Bridge of Helplessness fused perfectly with the Origin Energy Pearl, and it floated above the Saint Origin Pond.
As soon as the two artifacts fused together, the aura of the Bridge of Helplessness surged. Previously, it was only at grade-6 primary stage, but now, in just half a breath, it broke through its bottleneck and reached grade-6 intermediate stage.
Its strength continued to soar.
It didn't take long for it to reach grade-6 pinnacle, putting it on par with Xiao Wu and Dahei... or rather, it was even stronger!
"It's still too weak. Let's continue!"
Knowing that after fusing with the Bridge of Helplessness and the Osmanthus Tree, pinnacle sixth rank wasn't his limit, Su Yin's strength surged wildly. At the same time, the auspicious clouds that came with his ascension to Sainthood descended and entered the Ki Pearl.
After refining the Bridge of Helplessness, a divine artifact that nourished the soul, it didn't matter whether the auspicious clouds were used or not to Master's remnant consciousness. In that case, with the help of the rewards bestowed by heaven and earth, this artifact could break through its bottleneck and reach a higher realm!
The Chess Saint, Zither Saint, Chef Saint, Gambling Saint, and Art Saint's rewards entered the Origin Energy Pearl, and the dissipating power of the Origin Energy Pearl boiled again.
Like hot oil dripping into water, it exploded in an instant.
Sizzle!
The Origin Energy Pearl's artifact spirit was greatly nourished, and the power of grade-6 pinnacle improved again.
The power of rules surged, and the Origin Energy Pearl seemed to want to surpass it. It was like a ping-pong ball in the water, trying to get out of the water. It floated up and down, but it was always just a little bit away.
At the same time, a will appeared in the world, preventing it from surpassing. Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed. It seemed like it would descend at any moment.
"That's the lightning of the overlord of rules! It's impossible for the Origin Energy Pearl to overcome it. As its master, you'll be implicated as well. Hurry up and stop this energy!"
Yang Xuan's expression changed as he hurriedly shouted.
"Alright!"
Su Yin nodded.
The artifact spirit in the Origin Energy Pearl could be considered as his clone. If the power of the overlord of rules were to really descend, he would be implicated, and he would be reduced to ashes!
While a grade-5 pinnacle cultivator was not weak, it was still impossible for him to withstand the lightning of the Origin Energy Pearl.
The Human Emperor Tree in his body shook violently, and it shrouded the Origin Energy Pearl, suppressing the energy of the breakthrough. The lightning in the sky slowly dissipated, and only then did Su Yin heave a sigh of relief.
While he did not succeed in reaching the Origin Energy Pearl, he had successfully reached half-step into the Origin Energy Pearl!
He was not much weaker than Toad Gui and Helplessness.
"Hahaha!"
With the Origin Energy Pearl's improvement, Su Yin knew that his fighting prowess was no longer weaker than the two Sages before him. With a hearty laugh, he raised the Origin Energy Pearl and smashed it toward Xue Qianqiu.
Bang!
The Origin Energy Pearl smashed into Xue Qianqiu's chest, shattering his internal organs, and he almost died on the spot.
"Junior Brother …"
Saint Toad Gui, who was in the midst of battle, turned pale. He could no longer care about fighting with Xiao Wu. He grabbed the air, pulled his junior brother to him, and flew straight into the sky.
He was actually planning to escape!
"Can you escape?"
How could Su Yin let him do as he wished? He smashed the Origin Energy Pearl again.
Bang!
The space distorted, sealing Saint Toad Gui's escape route. A large patch of chaos seemed to have appeared between heaven and earth.
"Grand Moon True Fire Pill!"
With a roar, Saint Toad Gui slammed his palm.
Boom!
A round ball flew out and collided with the Origin Energy Pearl. It exploded instantly, and the surrounding space distorted. The air within a few thousand miles seemed to have evaporated in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go!" Saint Toad Gui took this opportunity to jump lightly. With the help of a ray of moonlight, he entered the bright moon in the sky and disappeared completely.
The Origin Energy Pearl spun, stabilizing the space around the explosion.
"What a pity … This pill did not explode but was refined by me. My physical body will definitely improve!"
Su Yin could not help but shake his head.
The Grand Moon True Fire Pill and the Grand Sun True Fire Pill were mutually reinforcing and restraining. Once refined, his strength would definitely increase exponentially. It would not be impossible for him to break through the shackles of Grade-6!
Unfortunately, the other party wanted to escape and directly sacrificed it!
He hurriedly turned his head and saw that Ruoshui River was as quiet as usual. The Saint Toad Gui had also taken the opportunity to escape without a trace.
It was obvious that the other party did not dare to fight after seeing that his cultivation had increased greatly and that he had the Undying Bird and Qilin as his companions.
"My cultivation is still too weak …"
The Origin Energy Pearl had refined the Bridge of Helplessness and the Osmanthus Tree, allowing him to reach the half-step Rule Realm. However, his strength was still too weak. He was only at the peak of Grade-5. It was obviously impossible for him to keep a super powerhouse who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Unless, he had reached the same realm!
After sighing, a smile appeared on his face.
Encountering two half-step Rule Realm powerhouses seemed dangerous, but the rewards were also great.
The advancement of the Origin Energy Pearl was a small matter. The key was refining the Bridge of Helplessness. He did not have to worry about his weak soul anymore. More importantly, he could think of a way to save the Peacock Empress and fulfill his promise to the Phoenix Monarch.
However, despite the huge improvement, Su Yin also understood how terrifying Cang Qiong and Yellow Spring were.
Just two random disciples already had such a cultivation base. The so-called ceremony would probably be even more difficult to pass than one would imagine.
At the very least, the two of them would not miss such an opportunity after recovering from their injuries.
"Not only do I have to improve my strength, but I also have to rope in my companions … Let's go to the Five Elemental Lands!"
Knowing that there was not much time left, Su Yin grabbed Xiao Wu and Dahei into the Origin Energy Pearl and returned it to his glabella. Then, he turned to look at Senior Lin Xuan.
Cang Qiong, Yellow Spring, and Martial Saint … They were all too powerful. His current strength was not weak, but it would still be difficult for him to pass the ceremony safely.
Thus, it was imperative for him to form an alliance with the Five Elemental Lands.
"Alright, I'll lead the way …"
Lin Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to fly forward, he saw a crimson red dragon fly over. It immediately transformed into a young man in armor.
Chi Yan!
Back when Su Yin was undergoing his tribulation, he had followed Lin Xuan to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. After the two of them reunited, he had left. Su Yin did not expect him to appear here.
Chi Yan looked over with a complicated expression. "Holy Lord Su Yin, my master wants to see you!"
Su Yin was stunned. "Sage Rushou?"
"Yes!" Chi Yan nodded.
Chi Yan was an ancient Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the tamed beast of the leader of the Five Elemental Sages, Golden Sage Rushou.
He had come here to pay a visit to Golden Sage Rushou, but he did not expect Golden Sage Rushou to invite him first.
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Chi Yan to lead the way …" No matter what the other party's goal was, Su Yin had to go.
Chi Yan took the lead and flew forward.
Su Yin, Phoenix Emperor, and Lin Xuan followed closely behind.
"Sage Rushou is resolute and resolute. He doesn't ally with the humans or Yellow Spring, so it won't be easy to persuade him. I wanted to bring you to Fire Sage Zhurong!"
Lin Xuan secretly transmitted.
"Is Zhurong easy to persuade?" Su Yin looked over in confusion.
The Five Elemental Sages were united. If Sage Rushou was difficult to persuade, the others should be the same!
"After humans started using fire, they entered the age of civilization. Therefore, many humans naturally worship fire. Sage Zhurong has the faith of humans, so he's closer to fire. I'm able to stay in the Five Elemental Sacred Land for so long with the strength of a quasi-Saint because of his care!" Lin Xuan explained.
Su Yin nodded.
Humans entered the age of civilization after eating cooked food. Many cities and tribes used fire as their totem, so it was easy to understand why they worshipped Fire Sage.
"Golden Sage and Water Sage aren't friendly to humans. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen if we go over now …"
Lin Xuan frowned, somewhat worried.
"Golden Sage rules the Five Elemental Tribe, so he's unwilling to be friendly with humans. I can understand that. But what about Water Sage? Humans also use water. Water is the source, so they should worship it more than fire! "Su Yin was curious.
Without fire, one could survive by eating vegetables and raw food for a year. But without water for three days, one would die.
It could be said that water was far more useful to humans than fire.
Lin Xuan said, "Water is indispensable to humans, but it's also a disaster. Ancient humans didn't cultivate and weren't strong. Once there was a flood, there was nothing to harvest, and countless people starved to death! Because of this, after the human race gained civilization, they began to think of ways to control the flood and fight against the water. Furthermore, when the Water Saint and Firmament fought for the Buzhou Mountain Holy Land, they broke the mountain range and caused a flood, causing countless casualties! It's an irreconcilable feud … "
Su Yin was speechless.
Fire was respected because it could be controlled. As for water … there was really no control. Mountain floods and torrential rain, even when he was reborn and technology was at its peak, there was still nothing he could do.
Therefore, floods had always been the greatest enemy of the human race.
"Let's see what his attitude is and act according to the situation!"
Knowing that no matter how they discussed, it was impossible to guess the other party's intentions. Su Yin could only wave his hand.
With Chi Yan leading the way, the traps on the river weren't triggered. The journey was peaceful.
After passing the river, a huge plain appeared in their line of sight.
It was surrounded by the Ruoshui River, and with the support of various formations, it was faintly discernible. Without anyone leading the way, even if they flew into the sky, they wouldn't be able to detect it.
Five huge mountains stood on the plain, forming a pentagon structure. With each mountain as the foundation, a special power gathered together, forming a special cycle.
They reinforced and restrained each other, complementing and repelling each other.
"These are the Five Elemental Mountains … Wood breeds fire, fire breeds earth, earth breeds metal, metal breeds wood, wood breeds water! Metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal … The five elements reinforce and restrain each other! They form a huge cycle that nourishes and complements one another! "
Lin Xuan said telepathically.
Su Yin nodded grimly.
The five elements reinforced and restrained each other. There was a similar principle in the medical theories that he had learned. However, when he saw the Five Elemental Mountains for himself, he was still deeply moved.
The Five Elemental Mountains were connected to one another, forming a massive formation. If anything were to happen, the power of the five elements would gather together, splitting the primordial chaos and reversing the yin and yang.
It was no wonder why even the Firmament and Yellow Springs were wary of the Five Elemental Sacred Ground despite being only at grade-6 pinnacle. In the end, this was the reason.
"These Five Elemental Mountains are the main bodies of the Five Elemental Sacred Ground, as well as their weapons. With them, even half-step Precepts realm experts like Saint Helplessness and Saint Toad Laurel won't be a match for them!"
Lin Xuan continued.
Su Yin was stunned. He took a closer look at the Five Elemental Mountains, and he was shocked.
After forging the Origin Energy Pearl earlier, he had gained a deeper understanding of the power of artifacts.
The Five Elemental Mountains had the ability to suppress the five elements, and they were much stronger than the Origin Energy Pearl. They were true artifacts of the Precepts realm, and they were powerful enough to fight against Masters of the Laws!
In other words, with the Five Elemental Mountains in hand, even a true Master of the Laws would find it difficult to kill any of the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Sages.
"Isn't it difficult for humans to reach the Precepts realm? Where did these artifacts come from? "
Su Yin asked curiously. He turned to look at Li Chonger, the Weapon Saint, in the Origin Energy Pearl.
Humans had lived for tens of thousands of years since the Ancient Era, but there had never been an expert of this level. Otherwise, Sword Saint Li Qiaofu and Master Sage Yang Xuan would have failed to reach the Precepts realm.
Even as the Primordial Spirit of All Beings, they were unable to reach the Precepts realm. Yet, the Five Elemental Mountains before him were all in the Precepts realm.
"Precepts realm artifacts are born from the laws of the world …" Li Chonger said.
"Take these mountains for example. They contain the most fundamental power of the five elements in the world. They are formed by the condensation of the five elements, and they represent the true essence of the five elements."
