Five Elements Sha Origin Art, Blood Tribulation Sea

The top floor of the Kunyuan Sect's Scripture Repository.

"Brother Nan, this 'Five Elements Sha Origin Art' is incredibly profound. Even in the Lineage's Scripture Repository, it's a rare classic. It's definitely not something the Kunyuan Sect created themselves; they must have obtained it by fortuitous opportunity!" Yang Anping said excitedly as he flipped through the book made of gold foil in front of him.

Yang An'nan was also quite delighted, "This 'Five Elements Sha Origin Art' requires all Five Elements Spirit Roots to cultivate. When the five elements of Sha Qi are gathered, one can not only possess combat power that is almost invincible among those of the same level, but also improve one's aptitude. It is truly profound and unparalleled. The Fortune of you and my brother has finally arrived!"

"It's laughable that the Kunyuan Sect doesn't cultivate the complete 'Five Elements Sha Origin Art' but instead splits it into Five Gates Cultivation Method, such as 'Gold Sha Origin Art' and 'Fire Sha Origin Art'. They're like buying the box and returning the pearl, losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds. Even 'shortsighted' doesn't fully describe them!" Yang Anping mocked without any politeness.

Yang An'nan shook his head, expressing a different opinion. "The Five Spirit Roots are the lowest aptitude, and they are not valued even in our Lu Wu Realm, let alone in the Qiongqi Realm where people eat people?"

In the Lu Wu Realm, those with Five Spirit Roots still have some chance to achieve Great Achievement. But in the Qiongqi Realm, that possibility has dwindled to one in a billion.

No major power in the Qiongqi Realm would cultivate cultivators with Five Spirit Roots. If this "Five Elements Sha Origin Art" were placed in another power, it would likely be dismantled, or perhaps its Destiny would be buried in obscurity and thrown into some corner of the world.

Hearing this explanation, Yang Anping nodded thoughtfully.

Yang An'nan continued, "Actually, for you and my brother, having the Five Gates Cultivation Method split off from the Kunyuan Sect as a reference makes it easier to comprehend the 'Five Elements Sha Origin Art,' which is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"That's true. Applying the same principles to other situations can indeed improve cultivation efficiency!" Yang Anping nodded, then frowned and said, "However, this Cultivation Method requires a large amount of the blood and souls of the Five Elements beings as a catalyst. If we want to cultivate it, we'll have to attack the Five Elements Spirit Tribe!"

"Heh, then let the blood souls of the Five Elements Spirit Tribe become stepping stones on the Great Dao road for us brothers!" Yang An'nan sneered, his eyes filled with unwavering killing intent.

Yang Anping nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He only felt sympathy for his own people; Yang Anping would show no mercy to those of Foreign Races.

Half a month later, on Spirit Immortal Island.

Yang An'nan bowed slightly and stood respectfully below the steps, while Yang Xuanye leaned back on the throne, looking at him with a smile.

"Well done. Although the methods were a bit rough, it's still quite excellent."

"Clan Chief, this is the token of the Shadow Hall Elder!" Yang An'nan held the token with both hands, raising it above his head.

Yang Xuanye raised his hand, took it in his palm and played with it for a moment, then threw it back. "Don't try to play these little tricks on me. I meant what I said, and I won't go back on my word. From now on, you'll be a Shadow Hall Elder!"

"Thank you for your guidance Clan Chief!" Yang An'nan exclaimed with joy, clutching the token tightly.

Even the Shadow Hall Elders of branch Lineage hold a status comparable to Nascent Soul Cultivators, having already stepped one foot into the ranks of the Lineage's upper echelons.

"Alright, go now. Oh, by the way, remember to collect your offerings. Becoming Shadow Hall Elder comes with many special resource subsidies!"

Yang An'nan nodded vigorously and walked out of the main hall. Yang Anping was waiting outside. Seeing him come out, he quickly asked, "Brother Nan, how did it go?"

Yang An'nan waved the Elder Token in his hand, smiling broadly.

"Great! Shadow Hall Elder, from now on, we have a powerful backer!" Yang Anping grinned foolishly.

"Let's go collect our salaries first. The Clan Chief said that the Shadow Hall Elder get a lot of good stuff!"

Qiongqi Realm, Eastern Sea.

A boundless Blood Tribulation Sea, a towering cloud of blood mist.

As one of the most renowned forbidden areas in the Qiongqi Realm, the Blood Tribulation Sea is extremely famous, containing many precious fortuitous opportunities, and attracting a large number of Blood Path and Demon Dao cultivators to venture there at all times.

With his large belly, resembling a kind and gentle official, Yang Xuanyang walked into this terrifying forbidden land that made even normal cultivators tremble at the mere mention of it, carrying the Dragon-Slaying Saber in one hand and the Demon Eye Blood Bow on his back.

A fierce wind swept through, the sky darkened, blood mist churned, and an extremely thick stench of blood rushed into the nostrils. The Demon Eye Blood Bow trembled slightly, emanating waves of pleasure.

"You guided me to the Blood Tribulation Sea just so I could smell this stench of blood?" Yang Xuanyang asked, frowning.

The Demon Eye Blood Bow trembled, as if it were telling a story.

"Oh? There's fortuitous opportunity, but it'll take some time..." Yang Xuanyang nodded slightly. "Alright, then I'll stay here and train for a while, which will be a good opportunity to improve my cultivation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thousand-foot vortex appeared, and a terrifying suction force came from below.

The sudden turn of events left Yang Xuanyang Taishan, remaining remarkably calm. He extended his right hand, grabbed out, and barked, "Come out here!"

Rumble!

Billions of tons of seawater crashed down with a deafening roar. Fierce Beast, hundreds of feet long and resembling a whale, with hundreds of gaping maws on its skin, leaped out of the Blood Tribulation Sea and lunged at Yang Xuanyang.

"The Ten Thousand-Toothed Blood Whale?" Yang Xuanyang's eyes narrowed slightly as he recognized this Fierce Beast, which was infamous in the Blood Tribulation Sea.

The Demon Eye Blood Bow hummed and trembled, eager to be used.

"Hehe, then you can do it!"

Yang Xuanyang smiled calmly, bent his right hand, and grasped the Demon Eye Blood Bow in his palm.

Then, the Dragon-Slaying Saber in his left hand lengthened amidst bursts of bloody light, transforming into an endlessly sharp crimson arrow.

Yang Xuanyang held a bow in his right hand and an arrow in his left, crouching slightly as he drew the bow and nocked the arrow.

Buzz!!

On the Demon Eye Blood Bow, three demonic eyes opened in succession. Although it lacked the power of all eight eyes opening simultaneously when the old man with the goatee activated it, its control over them far surpassed the latter.

Yang Tianyou's prediction was correct. Yang Xuanyang's "Blood Prison Demon-Slaying Canon" and the Demon Eye Blood Bow were a perfect match. In particular, the Intercepting Path of Heaven-Severing Dao Theft and the Demon Eye Blood Bow's ability to plunder blood souls were a match made in heaven. The two hit it off as soon as they met.

The Demon Eye Blood Bow not only directly recognized Yang Xuanyang as its master, but also went so far as to use its own essence to enhance the latter's physique.

If its previous owner, the old man with the goatee, saw this, he would probably be insanely jealous.

"Demon-Slaying Arrow, kill!"

A deep sound permeated the Blood Tribulation Sea, and a terrifying arrow, condensed to its extreme, suddenly traversed the sky, instantly piercing through the arrogant Ten Thousand-Toothed Blood Whale.

"Moo!!"

A mournful Dang Kai the Ten Thousand-Toothed Blood Whale struggled madly, transforming into streaks of bloody light that disappeared into the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Whether it was flesh and blood, soul, or Sha Qi and Resentment Qi, everything was devoured in the blink of an eye.

Then, the Dragon-Slaying Saber flew straight back, hovering above Yang Xuanyang's head, releasing strands of exceptionally pure Blood Qi and Soul Power, which were absorbed by him and the Demon Eye Blood Bow, while the remaining portion was swallowed by the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

A Ten Thousand-Toothed Blood Whale that had reached the Spirit Transformation stage was completely devoured by the three of them.

"Oh dear, I forgot to save some whale meat to make Spirit Cuisine..." Just then, Yang Xuanyang suddenly slapped his forehead, sounding annoyed.
