Chapter 519: Calamity of the Five Elements (Makeup Chapter 47)
In the high heavens of the boundless plains.
Dense Five Elements spiritual energy gathered, transforming into layers of tribulation that descended.
"The Calamity of Five Elements Primordial Qi. . . When a Soul Transformation cultivator desires to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they naturally incur heaven and earth's backlash. Therefore, the Soul Transformation realm has three tribulations: the first is the Heart Devil Tribulation, the second is the Primordial Qi Tribulation! The last is the Lightning Tribulation. . ."
Fang Xi murmured.
At this moment, countless azure light dots converged in the sky, transforming into massive ancient trees that crashed down with the force of Mount Tai!
Zheng!
A sword hum rang out as the Fang Xian Dao Master's hand manifested a flying sword, pointing it towards the sky and slashing.
Countless sword lights split open, erupting with the sound of wind and thunder, cutting down upon the colossal trees, instantly annihilating the massive green wood and pulverizing it into pure wood spiritual energy. . .
As the wood spiritual energy dissipated, scarlet fire-attribute spiritual energy gathered, forming streaks of Five Elements divine light, plummeting down as Heavenly Fire!
Fang Xi and Tu Mo Zhenjun were forced to temporarily retreat, falling back another hundred li!
"Heavenly Tribulation Fire?"
Fang Xi gazed at the scarlet Heavenly Fire, a chill rising in his heart: "Each of these flames possesses power comparable to my Six Paths Demonic Flames. . ."
The Fang Xian Dao Master looked at the falling meteors of fire and quickly chanted a spell.
Immediately, gusts of cold wind emerged, soaring into the sky. . . Countless snowflakes drifted down, creating a scene of ten thousand li of snow!
"This is. . . a spell? A high-tier spell cast by a Nascent Soul cultivator. . ."
Fang Xi's eyes widened slightly.
"When we Nascent Soul cultivators battle, we mostly use spirit treasures and talismans because casting high-tier spells is too slow. . . However, the Dao Master is a peerless genius; he has mastered several high-tier spells and can even cast them instantaneously!"
Tu Mo Zhenjun explained: "This high-tier spell should be 'Ten Thousand Li Drifting Snow', discovered from the 'Ice World'! Its power is immense. . ."
Ice against fire!
In an instant, transforming the heavens and earth, the Fang Xian Dao Master already possessed the might of a Soul Transformation cultivator!
Countless streaks of fire-attribute divine light dissipated, and then, speckles of earthen-yellow divine sand appeared.
The myriad yellow sands converged, forming a rolling Yellow River that plummeted three thousand feet straight down.
The Fang Xian Dao Master casually scattered countless seeds, which rapidly sprouted and grew. . . forming towering ancient trees. This was clearly another high-tier wood-attribute spell, effortlessly blocking the countless divine sands.
The Calamity of the Five Elements transformed again, and dense golden blades appeared, easily severing these ancient trees.
A begging bowl appeared in the Fang Xian Dao Master's hand, its surface shimmering with countless Sanskrit characters, like a golden bell covering his head, blocking all the golden blades.
Whoosh!
The Calamity of the Five Elements changed once more, as streaks of profound black netherwater emerged from underground, threatening to drown the Fang Xian Dao Master. . .
This final transformation of the Five Elements Calamity had almost doubled in power compared to its beginning, making Fang Xi and Tu Mo Zhenjun's eyelids twitch.
The Fang Xian Dao Master let out a hearty laugh, his aura suddenly shifting. Scales grew on his body, and gills appeared behind his ears, transforming him into a merman. He actively entered the profound black netherwater.
Countless black waters surged into the sky, forming a giant water sphere, which was then completely swallowed by the merman.
The last part of this Five Elements Calamity was not only broken by the Fang Xian Dao Master, but he even absorbed a large amount of water-attribute spiritual energy, replenishing most of his depleted magic power!
"This is the 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art', but I don't know what cultivation method the Dao Master cultivated to be able to transform into a water-attribute demon race. . ."
Fang Xi murmured.
"This is likely from some merman essence blood discovered in a minor world before, combined with the 'Blood Transformation Art'. I didn't expect it to have such a miraculous use. . ."
Tu Mo Zhenjun praised: "The Calamity of the Five Elements is intended to deplete a cultivator's magic power and Divine Consciousness, making it difficult for them to cope with the subsequent Lightning Tribulation. . . But with the Dao Master's method, his essence, qi, and spirit have all improved further. There is great hope for him to pass all nine layers of lightning!"
"If we aren't disturbed, yes."
Fang Xi opened the Taiyi Scripture, already able to see the live broadcast of the battle on the Lunar Star defense line.
The Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Sky-Heaven Hall could naturally use a different internal network and would not be affected by the network outage.
At this moment, seeing the scene of the hidden dragon soaring into the sky and slaying the Green-robed Demon Venerable, Fang Xi couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the might of the hidden dragon? Why wasn't it used earlier?"
"A hidden dragon should not be used, because from the start of its construction to the condensation of its Alaya Consciousness, it requires at least several centuries of accumulation. Moreover, we had deduced before that if the Demon Venerable did not emerge and remained holed up on the Lunar Star, the hidden dragon's impact would be limited and might not be able to slay a Soul Transformation demon."
Tu Mo Zhenjun smiled slightly: "It was also the Dao Master's breakthrough to Soul Transformation that forced the Demon Venerable to appear, allowing us to achieve this success in one fell swoop!"
"Next, we must try to prolong the time until the Lightning Tribulation is over."
Fang Xi took a deep breath.
"I'll leave this place to you, fellow Daoist. " Tu Mo Zhenjun said: "I still need to activate the 'Twelve Primordial Branches Heaven-Covering Divine Fiend Grand Array'. After all, with the demon race pouring out in full force, the Lunar Star defense line is under great pressure. If a large number of Nascent Soul demons descend upon the Jiuzhou World, it will be very troublesome later."
...
Lunar Star defense line.
"Kill!"
Jiannan True Monarch's nanosuit was half shattered, and his flying sword even had several nicks.
The Sky-Patrolling Battleship's intelligent AI spoke with an emotionless voice: "Warning! Warning! Insufficient energy. . ."
"Without that flying sword, how do you expect to fare, I wonder?"
Opposite him, a horned demon with a broken horn roared.
Beside him, there was no longer any sign of other demons.
As an ancient demon in the late Nascent Soul stage, to be forced to such a degree by a human cultivator of lower cultivation, it was simply a disgrace to the demon race!
‘Damn it. . . looks like I'll have to escape with my Nascent Soul again. . . I wonder if the bionic prosthetics at the hospital have been improved as I suggested last time. . . ’
Jiannan True Monarch knew that today he would not be so lucky, and perhaps not even his Nascent Soul would escape, yet he still mused bittersweetly.
Just then, the intelligent AI's prompt sounded again: "Link restored with 'Dijiang Space Station'. . . Remote charging activated!"
"Hmm?"
Jiannan True Monarch's eyes lit up, and he felt a surge of energy again!
If one were to look down from space at this moment, they would see one space station after another roaring, connected by streaks of light, seemingly forming a single-eyed giant dragon!
When the giant dragon's single eye closed, a profound darkness instantly enveloped everything.
Even the late Nascent Soul demon, caught in the darkness, could only let out a shriek before quickly dissipating.
"All Sky-Heaven Hall Battleship Warriors!"
Tu Mo Zhenjun's projection appeared on every Sky-Patrolling Battleship: "The end of the Moon Demons is today! Attack the Lunar Star and close the Heavenly Demon Gate!"
This was also the Fang Xian Dao Palace's plan.
Regardless of whether the Demon Venerable could prevent the Fang Xian Dao Master's Soul Transformation, Tu Mo Zhenjun would remotely control the grand array, cooperating with the Sky-Heaven Hall cultivators to launch an assault on the Lunar Star!
After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
...
Crash!
As if the sky had shattered, an incomparably thick azure-golden bolt of lightning suddenly struck down!
Upon seeing this, Fang Xi's eyelids twitched slightly: "This first lightning tribulation is already fiercer than the last one when I condensed my Nascent Soul back then."
However, at this moment, he had no time to think. Through the Taiyi Scripture, his Divine Consciousness connected with the three hundred and sixty-five 'Star Towers' in space.
In outer space.
The Star Towers rumbled, seemingly collecting cosmic rays and energy, transforming them into beams of starlight that descended into the atmosphere!
The three hundred and sixty-five light beams combined, forming an incomparably vast array. Within it, traces of stellar trajectories subtly appeared, making up—the Great Zhou Heaven Star Array!
As soon as the grand array formed, Fang Xi saw two demonic lights rushing towards him. Without hesitation, he activated the full power of the array!
The three hundred and sixty-five Star Towers roared, gathering countless cosmic rays, transforming them into a chaotic-colored 'Divine Light of the Ten Heavens, Ten Earths, Sun, Moon, and Five Stars for Demon Extermination', which swept horizontally towards the two demonic lights!
Pffft!
The chaotic divine light swept past the two Demon Venerables, even breaking through the atmosphere and vanishing into outer space!
As far as the eye could see, the land was barren for a thousand li, and this was only from the lingering aftershocks. . .
Above the barren land, Ao Kun, holding the Crying Dragon Blade, stood firm before him, seemingly unharmed.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your protection!"
Red Refining Demon said gratefully. If not for this great one's protection, she would have at least suffered a significant loss of primordial qi.
In the Jiuzhou World, suppressed by the power of the realm, if she were to lose more primordial qi, her very origin might be damaged.
Just then, the demonic eye on her headpiece, which resembled both a helmet and a crown, spun wildly, seemingly piercing through the array and catching sight of Fang Xi, who was presiding over the center!
"It's you! That little human demon, how dare you obstruct me?"
The Red refining Demon lord cried out in alarm, blurting it out.
"Haha. . . Demon Venerable, how have you been? I have indeed stopped the Twelve Primordial Branches Heaven-Covering Divine Fiend Grand Array."
Above the Star Array, Fang Xi's illusory figure appeared.
At this moment, he was clad in the Myriad Stars Dharma Robe and wore the Sun-Moon Crown, appearing as a Dharma Body!
Facing two Soul Transformation demons, he would be foolish to step out of the array!
Even if it was just his second primordial spirit, losing it would still be quite painful.
And now that Red Alchemist wanted to speak, Fang Xi naturally had to satisfy her demand.
After all, he was only trying to buy time. The Lightning Tribulation was still progressing rapidly; with just this brief interlude, the Fang Xian Dao Master had already passed six layers of lightning.
"Hmph, how dare you even bring that up?"
Red Refining Demon Zun glared, her phoenix eyes widening. She had never seen such a shameless person!
"Heh heh. . . The secret techniques the Demon Venerable gave also contained traps; this is merely returning the favor! " Fang Xi, however, had a thick skin.
"Enough! Can't you see that this person is trying to stall for time?"
Ao Kun looked at the surrounding starlight, knowing that he had been enveloped by the Great Zhou Heaven Star Array. On the Crying Dragon Blade in his hand, the wailing of the Soul Transformation flood dragon suddenly intensified, turning into a ten-thousand-zhang blade light that slashed out!
Puff! Puff!
Wherever the blade light passed, countless starlight-condensed chains shattered inch by inch, even striking directly towards Fang Xi's true body!
Crack!
The Great Zhou Heaven Star Array was forcibly torn open with a gap. The Dharma Body of the 'Lord of the Zhou Heaven Stars' was also swept by the blade light and suddenly dissipated!
This demonic blade even seemed to know Fang Xi's true location, slashing directly towards him!
Puff!
The blade light completely submerged Fang Xi. . .
Ao Kun didn't even glance at what followed, seemingly supremely confident in his strike. His figure flickered between existence and non-existence, escaping the grand array and rushing towards the lightning tribulation on the boundless plains!
Just as Red Refining Demon Zun was also intended to follow, streaks of starlight chains reappeared.
The torn-open array instantly closed.
"Hmm?"
The Red refining demon was slightly started, then saw a flash of blood light as Fang Xi's figure reappeared, his face pale, looking as if he had suffered a significant loss of essence blood.
