Rushou said, "After the great battle, the four Chaos Beasts were killed. For some reason, the Dragon Emperor didn't refine their remains and instead sealed the Land of Final Judgment. That's why I said that we can only go there if we want to revive Firecracker!"
Only then did he understand. Su Yin asked, "Sage Rushou, do you know the exact location of the Land of Final Judgment?"
Rushou said, "I do, but … it's sealed by the Dragon Emperor. It's almost impossible to enter!"
"It's good that you can find the place. Let's go take a look!" Su Yin smiled.
The seal left behind by the Dragon Emperor was definitely difficult to enter, but he had reached the Realm Fusion realm and had seven realm lord-level pet beasts and weapons. Just because the Five Elements Sage couldn't enter didn't mean he couldn't.
"We can take you there, but we hope that the Human Emperor will bring us along if you can break the seal …"
Hearing his words, Ruan hastily explained.
Seeing the young man's subordinates become so much stronger, he and the other four brothers were tempted.
Regardless of the danger, they had to follow him. Perhaps they could break through the laws in one fell swoop and break through the shackles of tens of thousands of years.
Their repeated experiences made them realize a problem, and that was … there would be meat to eat if they followed him!
"No problem, let's …"
Su Yin smiled and was about to discuss when to set off when his brows shot up. "Something's wrong. Someone's coming …"
But before he could finish his words, a clear voice sounded from outside the Sacred Land.
"Rushou, Gonggong, the Five Elements Holy Lords, Firmament, Nether, and the others are here to seek an audience!"
"What are they doing here?"
Rushou and the others' expressions changed.
They had already fallen out with the young man over the matter of taking sides. It didn't take much to figure out that a sudden visit was nothing good.
"What do we do?"
They all looked over.
Unknowingly, they all regarded the young man as their leader.
Su Yin said, "Phoenix Emperor and I will hide for now. You can meet them as normal and find out their intentions first …"
They had just fought with the other party. If they suddenly appeared, the other party would definitely be on guard. It was better to hide and catch them off guard.
Rushou, who knew what the other party was thinking, nodded and said, "Invite him in!"
Su Yin grabbed at the air as Phoenix Thearch was sucked into the Essence Energy Pearl. With a gentle flash, it transformed into a weak beam of light that landed in Rushou's glabella.
As soon as he was done, the space in the hall shook, and several figures appeared in front of him.
They were Cang Qiong, Huang Quan, Martial Saint, Battle Saint, and Xue Qianqiu.
Five masters who were above the Eighth Rank appeared at the same time. The hall seemed to be sealed, and the air became a little sticky. Feeling this power, the Five Elements Sage's expression changed at the same time.
Rushou took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. He said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Greetings, Holy Lords. Might I know why you have condescended to come here?"
Cang Qiong smiled and said, "I presume everyone already knows about the matter of Crown Prince Xiao Shi's revival! Now, not only has he revived, but the Dragon Emperor and the Great Beast King have also returned … We came here to discuss with you how to deal with the upcoming crisis. "
Rushou shook his head. "The five of us are idle and weak. We haven't even reached the level of Master of the Laws. Even if we want to do something, the will is willing, but the strength is lacking … You think too highly of us, Holy Lords!"
Cang Qiong said, "Don't belittle yourself. The Five Elements Sages guard the Five Elements. That alone makes them incomparable to ordinary Sages. The Dragon Emperor is a figure from the Primordial Era. If he wants to completely control the Immortal World after his revival, he definitely won't be able to avoid you. That's why … we came here in advance because we have a request!"
Rushou frowned. "Please speak clearly, Holy Lord!"
Cang Qiong said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. The Yellow Springs, Martial Saint, and Battle Saint would like to borrow your Five Elements Sacred Mountain to refine a transcendent treasure. We hope that the Five Elements Sages can agree to our request!"
Rushou's expression turned ugly. "What if I refuse?"
The Five Elements Sacred Mountain was their true form. Once it was taken away, their lives would no longer be in their control.
Cang Qiong's expression became compassionate. "Saint Rushou, please reconsider. The Five Elements of Celestial Decay have descended, and the Dragon Emperor has revived. The Immortal World is facing an unprecedented crisis. We're doing this for the sake of the Immortal World. If the Sages are unwilling … then we can only offend you. Although this will damage our reputation and make everyone unhappy, there's no other way!"
"To be able to make robbery sound so refined, Holy Lord Cang Qiong truly has the ability to distort right and wrong!"
Saint Rushou was so angry that he almost couldn't speak. He clenched his teeth. "However, if you want to take the Sacred Mountain, you'll have to kill us first. Gonggong, Zhurong, Goumang, Houtu, set up the formation!"
Knowing that the other party wouldn't give up, Rushou couldn't be bothered to waste time. With a low shout, the Five Sages immediately gathered together. The Five Elements Sacred Mountains rose from the ground and floated above their heads, releasing tremendous power.
"Why bother …"
Shaking his head, Cang Qiong turned to Battle Sage. "I'll leave this to you. Yellow Spring, Xue Qianqiu, Battle Sage, and I will guard the surroundings to prevent Su Yin from coming!"
"Alright!" Battle Sage nodded.
The Five Elements Sage and Su Yin were allies, so Cang Qiong had her make a move. It was clear that he wanted her and Battle Sage to prove their allegiance.
Once they killed the Five Elements Sage, they would truly become enemies with Su Yin. They would no longer be able to sit on the fence and watch.
It had to be said that this decision was truly ruthless. It ended the two of them in an instant.
After making the arrangements, Firmament did not stay any longer. He flew straight out and guarded the perimeter of the Five-elemental Sacred Land, waiting for Su Yin to arrive. Battle Sage took a deep breath as his eyes revealed a ruthless look. He walked towards Rushou and company.
He fully released his Half-World Fusion realm cultivation, and even before he reached them, the space around them had already frozen. The five Elements Sage's pressure caused the five mountains to tremble, as if they would collapse at any moment.
"Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, fuse the Five Elements!"
Knowing that it was impossible for them to defeat the Five Elements Sage alone, Rushou and the others released a dazzling light.
Golden, emerald, azure, crimson, earthy yellow …
The five colors revolved around each other, forming a huge pentagon. The five sacred mountains sat at the five corners. The space enveloped by the pentagon began to solidify, as if it was frozen.
Even though it was still a Domain, the Five Elements Sage Mountains had the ability to stabilize the Five Elements and intimidate space. The space within the Domain was no weaker than some primary Domains.
In fact, it was even stronger than that.
In other words, the Five Elements Sage could bring forth the fighting prowess of a grade-8 primary cultivator!
If it had been in the past, with such strength and the millions of believers in the Five Elements Sacred Ground, they would have been able to dominate a region. However, it was a pity that the Five Elements Decay had descended upon them. It was as if the world had descended into chaos.
Battle Sage's eyes were cold as he said expressionlessly, "I didn't intend to make a move, but it's a pity that you made the wrong choice."
In his tens of thousands of years of cultivation, he had personally organized more than ten thousand battles. His state of mind had long been as cold as ice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to forge an artifact like the Vast Origin Cauldron.
Hu!
With a flip of his hand, the War Domain shrouded the entire Five Elements Sacred Ground. From afar, one could see countless war flags fluttering in the air.
Even though she was slightly weaker without the War Flag, she had broken through the shackles of grade-8. Furthermore, she no longer had to hide the Vast Origin Cauldron, so her fighting prowess was much stronger than before.
Creak! Creak!
Under the pressure of her palm, the Five Elements Sage felt their bodies go limp. They found it difficult to exert their strength.
At this moment, they had completely fallen into the other party's domain. In this world, she was the ruler.
"Don't worry. Since you're heroes, I'll leave your corpses intact. Also, I won't kill the ordinary cultivators of the sacred ground!
"With me, the Yellow Spring, the Martial Sage, and Xue Qianqiu here, even if Su Yin is here, there's only death awaiting him. Instead of struggling, why don't you just admit defeat and willingly give up control of the Five Elements Sage Mountains?
"There's no point in resisting …"
Her will battered the hearts of the crowd.
Not only were Battle Sages adept at fighting, but they were also adept at breaking the will of their opponents, making them unable to exert even thirty percent of their strength.
It was the same this time.
"We …"
Indeed, after being bewitched by her words, Rushou and company's wills immediately wavered. Just as they were about to give up on resisting, a voice sounded in their ears.
"Purposely feigning weakness and luring her over …"
"Yes!"
Rushou and the others immediately came to their senses when they heard this voice.
Su Yin!
He had hidden in Rushou's glabella and had seen everything.
Originally, it would have been difficult for him to win against the five experts even if his cultivation was extraordinary. However, Cang Qiong and the others were guarding the surroundings to guard against him. This was the best opportunity to kill this Battle Sage!
Once he succeeded, the other party's strength would be weakened. Not only would he be able to resolve the crisis of the Five Elements Sage, but he would also be able to break the other party's strength.
Since the Martial Sage and Battle Sage were his enemies, there was no need to hold back.
"That's right. You're so strong that even Su Yin is no match for you, let alone us. Instead of fighting and being killed, all the believers will die. Why don't we just surrender?"
"If we give up the Five Elements Sage Mountains, we can continue living if we're lucky. Just like Cang Qiong and the Yellow Spring who also severed their bodies, didn't they also become the strongest in the world?"
"Just surrender. Why struggle …"
…
The Five Elements Sage's will flickered incessantly, and it seemed like his resolve had been completely shaken.
Seeing their pleas, the Battle Sage's eyes lit up.
Her bewitchment ability was something that even those of the same cultivation realm would find difficult to deal with, let alone those who were weaker than her.
"Since you're willing to hand over the Five Elements Sage Mountains, make your move …"
Her bewitchment ability continued.
"Alright!"
Rushou and the others were in a daze, as if they had lost all ability to resist. "We'll give you the Five Elements Sage Mountains …"
As they spoke, they began walking forward. The Five Elements Sage Mountains, which had been emanating an indomitable aura, began swaying unsteadily, as if they would fall from the sky at any moment.
The Battle Sage was agitated.
Even though she was capable of killing the five of them, if she could obtain the Five Elements Sage Mountains without killing them, it would be easier for her to assimilate them. Her words would also carry more weight in their small alliance!
"Here!"
In the blink of an eye, the Five Elements Sage had already arrived before her. Hu! The Five Elements Sage Mountains drifted over.
"This is great!"
Seeing that the Five Elements Sage Mountains did not possess the slightest offensive ability, as if they had already severed their relationship with the crowd, the Battle Sage's eyes lit up as she grabbed the Five Elements Sage Mountains.
"It's a success!"
Seeing that the Five Elements Sage Mountains did not possess the slightest bit of mental energy or elemental attribute, the Battle Sage laughed heartily.
The Five Elements Sage Mountains suppressed the Five Elements and stabilized the world. It was the best artifact for suppressing dimensions, and its effectiveness even surpassed that of Ao Zu!
Once assimilated, the space within the artifact would become even more stable, such that it would not shatter no matter how powerful the shockwave was.
How could the Battle Sage Mountains not be excited to have such a powerful artifact successfully bewitched with just a few words?
Knowing that assimilating the Five Elements Sage Mountains would mean gaining an advantage over the Firmament Monarchs, the Battle Sage left half of her consciousness in her body to prevent anything from happening to Rushou and the others while the other half of her consciousness extended toward the Five Elements Sage Mountains.
Barely after she extended her consciousness into the Five Elements Sage Mountains, she suddenly felt a chaotic intent piercing into her mind.
"This is bad …"
The Battle Sage Mountains narrowed her eyes. She immediately realized that she had fallen for a trap. Just as she was about to retract her consciousness, she saw a jade-green bamboo shoot through the air toward her glabella. At the same time, a sword was aimed right at her heart.
A fist, a claw, two hooves, a ball, and a palm covered in Devil Qi.
Eight Realm Lords attacked at the same time!
Although the Battle Sage was weaker than him, Firmament Monarchs and the others were nearby. There was only one chance, so Su Yin used his most violent attack!
He had to kill her in one strike!
"No …"
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Su Yin to hide in Rushou's glabella. He did not release any aura, making it impossible for anyone to detect him. It was already too late for the Battle Sage to react. With a tragic cry, his glabella exploded. Immediately following that, his heart was pierced through.
At the same time, the palm, hooves, and sphere all landed on her body.
Boom!
The surging power swept out like a tidal wave. The Battle Sage's body exploded on the spot, turning into a pile of minced meat.
If she still had the War Banner, she might be able to use it to block a portion of the power. But now, she had to bear the full brunt of the attack with her body.
However, as a half-step Realm Fusion expert, how could he die so quickly? Although his body had been destroyed, half of his soul had fused with the realm. As long as he could refine a suitable puppet, he would be able to recover to his original state.
Knowing this, the Battle Sage's soul didn't hesitate at all. She controlled the realm and quickly fled.
"Do you think you can escape?" Su Yin sneered.
Boom!
The Dry Origin Realm surged out and shrouded the Battle Sage's realm in the blink of an eye. At the same time, it swallowed all the flesh and bones.
"No … Su Yin, I want you dead!"
Knowing that once the realm was crushed by the other party, it would be equivalent to death, the Battle Sage's eyes were filled with rage. With a furious roar, a huge furnace flew out and smashed towards Su Yin.
The cauldron carried the weight and power of the human race. It tore a huge crack in the Dry Origin Realm.
Vast Origin Cauldron!
At the moment of life and death, she summoned the artifact that she and the Battle Sage had spent tens of thousands of years refining.
