Free Web NovelChapter 1225: Chapter 749: Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light (Part 3)
Relying on this strand of Earth Evil Qi connection, the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light transformed into a giant Water Mirror, with the roaring waves of the Nine Dragon Sea displayed on it.
The Five Elements Ancestor quickly locked onto the position of the Nine-headed Dragon King by continuously adjusting the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light.
An enormous Golden Giant Ship appeared on the giant Water Mirror, along with the Nine-headed Dragon King standing proudly on the top deck.
The Nine-headed Dragon King also sensed the abnormal condensation of Primordial Qi in the sky. He frowned deeply, feeling that it was the flow of the Five Elements Earth Evil Qi, guessing it was the means of the Five Elements Ancestor.
The Five Elements Ancestor was obsessed with cultivation and wouldn’t risk offending him to spy. It must have been orchestrated by Xiong Wuji.
If it were any other Demon Emperor, the Nine-headed Dragon King wouldn’t allow the opponent to spectate.
Xiong Wuji was quite bold, though ruthless, he wouldn’t take advantage of his peril.
Moreover, he needed to focus entirely on fighting Gao Xuan at this moment, having no energy to bother with the Five Elements Ancestor.
If Xiong Wuji wanted to watch, then let him. Besides, it would let Xiong Wuji see his capabilities!
The Nine-headed Dragon King no longer cared about the prying eyes above. With a Dharma Seal in hand, the massive Golden Ship beneath his feet began to retract around him.
In the blink of an eye, the massive Golden Ship transformed into a set of heavy Golden Armor, enveloping the Nine-headed Dragon King.
"Earth Armor, what a fine piece."
The Five Elements Ancestor sighed as he looked at the heavy Golden Armor on the Nine-headed Dragon King, "It’s said that the Nine-headed Dragon King possesses True Earth, and indeed it’s true!"
"His mother must have given it to him, hahaha..."
Talking about the Nine-headed Dragon King’s mother, Xiong Wuji couldn’t help but laugh.
The Nine-headed Dragon King had Dragon Race blood, but his mother was clearly not of the Dragon Race. It was speculated that she might be the ancient exotic species Xiangliu.
This legendary Nine-headed Snake was extremely poisonous and was said to have been subdued by True Earth.
Seeing the Nine-headed Dragon King now, it indeed seemed that way.
True Earth can endlessly generate, and is said to be the source of the earth. Even if used as armor, a small portion of the Earth Armor can endlessly regenerate and never collapse.
Unless, unless one could break through the Earth Armor in a single blow to kill the Nine-headed Dragon King.
If it couldn’t be resolved in one move, then the Earth Armor, with its endless regeneration, made it impossible to kill the Nine-headed Dragon King.
Thinking of this, Xiong Wuji restrained his smile. If he had the Nine-headed Dragon King’s Earth Armor, he would have enough qualification to compare with Yuan Qinglian.
What a pity, what a pity...
Although Xiong Wuji harbored greed, he knew it wouldn’t be easy to snatch this divine weapon from the Nine-headed Dragon King’s hands.
Moreover, refining this armor required the Power of Thick Earth.
The Nine-headed Dragon King, being a descendant of Xiangliu, could naturally control both water and earth powers. This was something he couldn’t compare to.
However, given the Nine-headed Dragon King’s possession of the Earth Armor and his presence in the Nine Dragon Sea, with his inherent control over water and earth attributes, he was nearly invincible.
Even his Infinite Divine Power found it difficult to kill the Nine-headed Dragon King in the Nine Dragon Sea.
Across from him, the Human Race Cultivator appeared strong, but still lacking compared to him, with almost no chance of winning.
"With the Earth Armor, it would be hard for the Nine-headed Dragon King to lose," said Xiong Wuji’s Five Elements Ancestor.
The Five Elements Ancestor nodded deeply. He actually hoped the Nine-headed Dragon King would lose because the Earth and the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light were a perfect combination.
If he could obtain the Earth, the power of the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light could immediately double.
Although Xiong Wuji was his close friend, such foundational power secrets couldn’t be shared. Moreover, with Xiong Wuji around, this treasure couldn’t possibly end up in his hands.
The Five Elements Ancestor could only sigh deeply in his heart.
A flash of a silhouette appeared on the Water Mirror: Gao Xuan had already arrived in front of the Nine-headed Dragon King, standing only a few yards apart.
On the Water Mirror, Gao Xuan was clad in a deep yellow Daoist Robe, over which was draped a moon-white Gauze Robe like water, light, and qi; his head was adorned with a long White Jade Daoist Hat. Standing with Wind Control, his demeanor was truly peerless.
Xiong Wuji looked Gao Xuan up and down, and couldn’t help but praise, "Indeed a figure of Central Province, so handsome and refined."
The Five Elements Ancestor was about to nod in agreement when his eyes swept over the moon-white Gauze Robe on Gao Xuan and he froze for a moment.
"Like light, like qi, like water, with the endless transformation of the Five Elements, this, this is... the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light..."
Though the Five Elements Ancestor was deeply composed, he couldn’t help but lose his composure at this moment.
He had been holding the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light for millions of years, proving his Dao with this treasure, calling himself the Five Elements Ancestor.
Through the sensation of the treasure, the Five Elements Ancestor knew that the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light in his hand was incomplete. In the early years, he had expended much effort to search for the missing parts of the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light, but after years of toil, he found nothing.
He had also given up hope in this regard, turning instead to diligent cultivation. At least it was a path of cultivation he could control.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he saw this treasure on a young Daoist.
Decades of bitter cultivation by the Five Elements Ancestor were shattered in an instant; thoughts of no desire, no demand, of clarity and calmness were all cast aside.
At that moment, he had only one thought: to seize the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light at any cost!
Xiong Wuji also noticed the Five Elements Ancestor’s loss of composure. This venerable being, after tens of thousands of years of rigorous cultivation, previously always carried a demeanor suggesting detachment from worldly affairs, but now he appeared twisted and ferocious, with five-colored Divine Light flickering in his eyes, as if ready to devour someone.
The true form of the Five Elements Ancestor was a Five-Colored Toad; in his pre-Enlightenment days, he would eat various demons and creatures daily. This wasn’t surprising.
What was surprising was what had caused him to lose his composure so dramatically?
Xiong Wuji asked, "So, Fellow Daoist, do you know this person?"
The Five Elements Ancestor hesitated for a moment; this was a significant matter, not something he should casually share with Xiong Wuji. However, with Xiong Wuji present, there was no way he could claim the advantage.
Only by discussing it with Xiong Wuji could the matter have a chance of progressing.
Having thought this through, the Five Elements Ancestor spoke seriously, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, I’d like to discuss something with you."
Xiong Wuji was a bit surprised, "Given our friendship, just speak freely, my friend."
"That Daoist’s moon-white Gauze Robe seems to be the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light, a counterpart to the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light in my possession..."
"I see."
Xiong Wuji understood now why the Five Elements Ancestor had lost his composure; it related to his foundational power.
Even at the Earth Immortal level, there was a limit to one’s lifespan. Generally, it was capped at fifty epochs.
Only those exceptionally powerful Earth Immortals could break through this boundary.
Therefore, even an Earth Immortal like the Five Elements Ancestor, without much ambition, had to seek ways to extend his lifespan. The Five Elements Ancestor had pursued the path of arduous cultivation, not because he was tired of living but because he wanted to live longer.
But had the Five Elements Ancestor lost his wits?
No matter their friendship, Xiong Wuji couldn’t allow the Five Elements Ancestor to become stronger than himself.
Uniting the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light and the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light would double their power! He couldn’t tolerate that.
Of course, Xiong Wuji wouldn’t outright oppose the request, as that might offend his friend. He didn’t care to lie either, so he remained silently pensive.
His demeanor conveyed clearly that he disagreed unless the Five Elements Ancestor provided a better reason.
The Five Elements Ancestor, too, understood Xiong Wuji’s meaning and dared to bring it up because he felt confident.
"Fellow Daoist, I won’t take the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light for nothing. I’m willing to help you obtain the Earth Armor. I can also use the Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light to assist you in refining the Earth Armor..."
Having listened to the Five Elements Ancestor, Xiong Wuji was quite tempted too.
If he could truly refine the Earth Armor, he would gain control of a powerful Earth Artifact, able to expand his territory further absorbing Spiritual Qi.
If the Earth Armor were perfected, it would undoubtedly become a top-tier Earth Artifact in this world. With his Infinite Divine Power, the Earth Armor’s support could make his attacks impenetrable and defenses unbreakable.
Reaching that extent, what would the likes of the Ghost Emperor or the Celestial Corpse matter? Dominating the Eight Desolates wouldn’t be challenging.
The crux was that without the Five Elements Ancestor’s help, he couldn’t refine the Earth Armor.
Exchanging it for the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light was worthwhile. Even if the Five Elements Ancestor acquired it, he could never become stronger than himself.
Xiong Wuji considered the proposal, found it agreeable, and nodded vigorously, "Alright, it’s a deal."
The Five Elements Ancestor was delighted, "Fellow Daoist, you’re indeed decisive, a deal it is."
He then asked, "Do you have any plans, Fellow Daoist?"
Xiong Wuji chuckled, "Is planning needed here? Once the two finish their duel, we go kill them. First Gao Xuan, then the Nine Heads."
The Five Elements Ancestor nodded, the plan was simple but easier to execute.
At the Earth Immortal level, battles were not complicated.
Xiong Wuji said, "To traverse the void instantly, we’ll need your Five Elements Earth Evil Divine Light."
Confidently, the Five Elements Ancestor replied, "I’ll use the Earth Evil Divine Light to condense Earth Evil Qi over the Nine Dragon Sea, creating a stable marker, allowing us to cross instantly..."
