Chapter 349: Chapter 233: Demon Refining_1
A tree shone with a spirited green light, its surface wrapped with dragon patterns, it was the Azure Dragon YiWood Tree!
A sword brimmed with fierce and cold sharpness, taking on the posture of a tiger devouring its prey, it was the White Tiger Xinjin Sword!
A bead blazed with ferocious flames, within which a Vermilion Bird spread its wings, it was the Vermilion Bird Ding Fire Bead!
A cauldron roared with tumultuous waves, as if guarded by a turtle and snake on all four sides, it was the Black Tortoise Kui Water Tripod!
A seal was saturated with the thick yellow hue of earthly ways, topped with a Qilin, it was the Qilin Ji Earth Seal!
Five Elements Magical Treasures!
Although the five treasures had been refined and combined into the Spiritual Treasure Five Elements Orb earlier, these five magical treasures did not completely disappear. Instead, like the cycle of the Five Elements generating each other, they coexisted within the Five Elements Orb, somewhat taking on the flavor of a combined spiritual treasure.
This was inspired by Xu Yang’s previous insights from the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Flag and the Cycle of Starlight Mirror, and after his deeper comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements, he was able to realize this and refine this semi-combined nature Five Elements Spiritual Treasure.
Even though it was semi-combined in nature, it was not inferior to combined magical treasures like the Big Dipper Seven Stars Flag or the Cycle of Starlight Mirror, it was even better by a measure.
This was the problem of the creators, the Artifact Refiners who refined the Seven Stars Flag and Starlight Mirror. Their understanding and insight of the Dao of the stars were clearly not as profound as Xu Yang’s current understanding and insight of the Dao of the Five Elements, not to mention the additional boost from skill traits.
As soon as these five treasures appeared, the Blood Demon’s gaze instantly changed, and he immediately halted his advance.
Just recently, he had put forth all his effort in a life-and-death strike. The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade and the towering Blood Sea were defeated by the Five Colors Divine Light and Mixed Yuan Sword Qi; the demon soldiers of the Spiritual Treasure were finally broken by the Wonderful Skill of Divine Powers.
Zheng Yin was defeated and trapped in a deadly situation. As he saw the Blood Sea about to be evaporated by his opponent, he had no choice but to make a decision.
To choose to convert, to convert to our demonhood!
To let go of his last line of defense, to give up his adherence to self, to fully accept the power of the Demonic Qi, becoming a branch of the Blood Sea Nether River.
This was what conversion meant!
The one standing here now was no longer the Corpse Blood Divine Monarch Zheng Yin, but rather the Blood Sea Asura, the Nether River Blood God Child.
Completely corrupted, utterly fallen.
Although he lost himself and became a Demon Seed, his consciousness was not erased, not turned into a dull-witted walking corpse.
He still had his consciousness, and he was lucid, aware that the person before him was out of the ordinary, not to be viewed by conventional wisdom.
Before, he was defeated by Divine Skills, hence he was defeated by the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade. Now, the magical treasure appears again, forming the momentum of the Five Elements.
This…
The Blood Demon’s gaze intensified, he said no more, waving a Demon Blade shaped like a blood scorpion, slashing out a surging, wave-like crimson Sword Qi.
Xu Yang’s expression remained unchanged as he returned the favor with the Five Colors Divine Light, and the five treasures flew out, each anchoring in one direction.
Five Colors Divine Light, although it is a Post-Heaven skill and can only be called a minor Divine Power, without the might of the Pre-Heaven Five Elements which nothing can counter, is still an extremely powerful method in the human Lower Realm where mortals are many and Immortal Gods are absent.
Although the Blood Demon is called a demon, it is just a title and not a true god or daemon on par with immortals and buddhas.
For such beings, the might of the Post-Heaven Five Elements is sufficient.
Sure enough, as the Five Colors Divine Light were shot out, like Sword Qi crisscrossing, and like a massive current sweeping everything away, the surging blood waves collapsed, leaving only a Demon Blade.
“Bang!!!”
Even the Demon Blade did not hold up, bursting apart with a clanging sound, turning into thousands of blood rays shooting in all directions.
The technique of Corpse Resolution!
As long as there’s green hills, one need not fear a lack of firewood!
Although he had converted to our demonhood and his strength had increased significantly, the influence of previous events still lingered, half of the Blood Seed was still sealed, and his powers were also drained by the great battle, leaving him in a severely weakened state.
In such a state, facing an unknown and unfathomable powerful enemy, along with the risks of Meng Fuyao and the other five great Corpse Resolution threats, which might recover at any time, was clearly not a wise choice.
Therefore, the Blood Demon made a decisive choice, splitting his body to escape.
Run, run, run!
The Demon Blade shattered, and the Blood Sea dispersed into thousands of blood lights fleeing in every direction.
However, his opponent had anticipated this.
To the east, a precious YiWood Tree soared skyward, its branches lush and leaves flourishing, shining brilliantly, revealing the image of an Azure Dragon, grandly suspending in the east.
To the west, an awe-inspiring Xinjin Divine Sword glittered, its Sword Qi forming threads, crisscrossing and melding into the image of a White Tiger, fiercely lying in the west.
To the south, a floating Ding Fire Spirit Pearl rose in the void, flames roaring fiercely, red clouds billowing, bringing forth the Vermilion Bird’s body, displaying its divine presence to the south.
To the north, a grand Kui Water Tripod firmly suppressed all sides, its black waters deep and mysterious, the turtle and snake treading on the waves, creating the Black Tortoise Avatar, its mighty force sweeping through the north.
And in the center, above the firmament, fell a mighty Ji Earth Seal, with the power of mountains and rivers, the essence of the thick earth, in continuous streams, the thick yellow hue taking the form of a Qilin’s shape, hanging high and low, suppressing heaven and earth.
Five Elements True Spirit Map!
Five Elements Sealing Demon Array!
Xu Yang was not only a tier four Refinement Grandmaster but also a tier four Grandmaster of Array Formation.
His progress in understanding, comprehension, and breakthrough in the Dao of the Five Elements had been similarly applied to the laws of Array Formation.
With the Five Elements True Spirit Map as the base, incorporating the mysteries of demon transformation of this world, the principles of heaven and earth, and the laws of Array Formation, leading to the evolution of secrets, ultimately forming a great array that seals demons.
Five Elements True Spirit Demon Sealing Great Array!
The Five Elements True Spirits, each guarding one direction.
No way up to heaven, no door down to earth.
Thousands of blood streams heading east were met by the proud roar of the Azure Dragon, as YiWood divine light spewed forth, extinguishing countless blood-red waves.
Finding no escape in the west, confronted by the fierce White Tiger, the Xinjin divine light swept out with its claws, likewise eradicating the bloody surge.
Turning again towards the south and north, the Vermilion Bird spread its wings to scorch the sky, the Black Tortoise suppressed the waves with its four limbs, instantly desiccating the Blood Sea. The Ding Fire and Kui Water divine lights intersected, dealing heavy blows.
Every direction, completely sealed off.
Then, looking up and down, the shadow of the Qilin descended from above, the thick yellow energy of the earth rising from below, achieving a state of heaven and earth convergence, a combined suppressive force from high and low, the power of a thousand mountains and rivers overpowering the Blood Sea.
