Do You Want to Die?

Whether it was Hongjun or Ancestor Five Elements, their combat strength at this moment was already close to that of Beast Emperor Shen Ni back then.

But in Li Xinghe's eyes, it was nothing more than children squabbling.

The two exchanged blows back and forth, neither able to do anything to the other, and Ancestor Five Elements immediately grew anxious.

Hongjun was harder to deal with than he had imagined, and the Jade Plate of Creation fragment was profoundly mysterious—far more formidable than he had expected.

Just as the two were locked in an inseparable battle, the flow of time around them suddenly seemed to slow.

"Who goes there?" Ancestor Five Elements' expression changed. Such a method was unfathomably profound.

Hongjun seemed to sense something and immediately retreated. The same thing had happened when they had besieged Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

Sure enough, in the next instant, the Five Innate Banners surrounding Ancestor Five Elements suddenly slipped out of his control and all vanished into the void.

"My treasures... Who is it? Get the hell out here!" Ancestor Five Elements was furious. Those were the foundation of his power. Without the Five Innate Banners, how was he supposed to fight Hongjun?

Upon seeing this, Hongjun fled at once. To hell with the Heavenly Dao's guidance—staying alive came first.

Anyone capable of altering the flow of time was, even if not Daoist Shichen, certainly a mighty expert.

They could snatch even top-grade spiritual treasures whenever they pleased. Too brutal.

In truth, he had overestimated Li Xinghe. Stealing others' treasures was not an omnipotent ability.

First, one had to catch the target off guard. Second, some people's treasures were ordained by fate and extremely difficult to seize. Third, if a treasure had been fully refined, it was also hard for him to take away.

For example, if he had tried to seize the Five Elements Pagoda just now, it would not have been so easy.

Ancestor Five Elements had refined that pagoda over two lifetimes and had long since completely refined the restrictions within it.

As for the Five Innate Banners, he had not possessed them for long, and each of the five banners needed to be refined to some extent before their power could be unleashed.

Ancestor Five Elements was merely at the Early Golden Immortal of the Origin stage. It was already impressive that he could wield part of the Five Innate Banners' power. As for fully refining them, who knew how long that would take?

"Godfather is mighty!" Xuan Ming and Houtu cheered excitedly from the shadows.

"Hongjun ran too quickly. I should have tried to see whether I could snatch his Jade Plate of Creation fragment." Li Xinghe secretly regretted it.

Then again, in the Primordial World, one had to keep a low profile to live long.

Back in the Chaos World, the Three Thousand Demon Gods clearly knew they were no match for Pangu, yet they had still blocked his path one after another, throwing away their lives. They had simply been courting death.

Only that old schemer Hongjun had secretly devoured the Devouring Demon God's blood essence to strengthen himself.

"Forget it. Hongjun carries great Fortune and enjoys the Heavenly Dao's favor, so I'll spare him for now. But that old Five Elements won't be so lucky!" Li Xinghe strode out openly.

"It's you! Li Xinghe!" Ancestor Five Elements was instantly shocked.

Although Li Xinghe had not been strong in the Chaos World, his identity had been unusual, and all those Top-level Demon Gods knew of his existence.

The Chaos, which had originally possessed only the Three Thousand Law Demon Gods, had inexplicably produced a 3001st Demon God.

Moreover, this fellow had called Pangu his brother, and during the Creation Tribulation, he had even advised Pangu from the sidelines.

Many Demon Gods had died miserable deaths because of Li Xinghe's casual pointers.

"I've been looking for you for a long time. I never expected you to be hiding here. You really don't know the meaning of death." Li Xinghe saw through Ancestor Five Elements' scheme at a glance.

He wanted to devour the Five Elements Origin of the Primordial World and destroy the Primordial World. Wasn't that like hanging himself from a noose and asking for death?

Did he really think the Heavenly Dao was just for show?

No wonder Ancestor Five Elements did not exist in later generations. So he had been courting death here.

Look at how clever Hongjun was. He had waited until after attaining the Dao before revealing his ambitions.

Even then, he had used the excuse that the Heavenly Dao was incomplete and that he was sacrificing himself to make up for it, when in truth he had been slowly assimilating and devouring the Heavenly Dao.

"Enough nonsense. Return my Five Innate Banners." Ancestor Five Elements still had some self-awareness, unlike that hotheaded Qian Kun.

Even if he did not know Li Xinghe's strength, Hongjun's reaction was enough to tell him that trouble had arrived.

Li Xinghe possessed Chaos Supreme Treasures. He had secretly taken the Five Innate Banners just now without anyone noticing, and Ancestor Five Elements knew he was no match for him.

"The Five Innate Banners? Yours? Is your name written on them? Why don't you call out to them and see whether they answer?" Li Xinghe said blandly.

"You..." Legends of Li Xinghe's shamelessness had long spread throughout the Primordial World.

Back then, Chaos had merely failed to dip his dumplings in sauce, and his Chaos Pearl had been snatched away. Heaven knew just how wicked this brat was.

"Consider me unlucky. I'll give those banners to you. Until we meet again." Ancestor Five Elements snorted coldly.

The old fellow was fairly clever. Li Xinghe's move just now involved the Law of Time, and he strongly suspected that Li Xinghe was connected to Daoist Shichen.

In the Chaos World, one's origins were extremely important. At first, those Top-level Demon Gods had even looked down on Pangu, believing him to be nothing more than a reckless brute with immense strength.

Yet no Demon God dared look down on Daoist Shichen. If Pangu had not existed, Daoist Shichen would have been the true number one Demon God.

During the Creation Tribulation, Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny had disappeared without a trace. There had to be something strange about it. Before he understood what had happened, Ancestor Five Elements did not dare act rashly.

Li Xinghe smiled faintly. Rather than making way, he said, "Since you, Five Elements Demon God, are so sensible, how about I treat you to something?"

"I don't eat dumplings." Ancestor Five Elements immediately jumped back. Could this fellow still be eyeing his Five Elements Pagoda?

"You misunderstand. I want to treat you to some fruit to replenish your nutrition." Li Xinghe leisurely took out a fruit from the Karma Tree.

At the sight of it, Ancestor Five Elements' expression changed drastically.

Not many people knew the Karma Demon God's secret, and Ancestor Five Elements happened to be one of them.

This was something the Karma Demon God treasured beyond measure. It bore only one fruit every One Yuan Meeting and was more precious than any of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots.

"You killed Karma?" The Five Elements Demon God looked grave.

In terms of origins, the Karma Demon God stood above him. That was how the hierarchy of contempt among Chaos Demon Gods worked: they looked down on the weak and feared the strong.

If even Karma had died at Li Xinghe's hands, then he was truly in danger.

"Think it over. Eat this fruit, or I'll treat you to dumplings." Li Xinghe spoke indifferently.

He felt no psychological burden whatsoever about killing the Five Elements Demon God, nor did he need to worry about retribution from the Heavenly Dao.

More precisely, if he killed the Five Elements Demon God, the Heavenly Dao might even bestow Merit upon him. After all, he would have resolved a crisis for the Primordial World.

"I want to try." The Five Elements Demon God knew what would happen if he ate that fruit.

Naturally, he was unwilling to be controlled by Li Xinghe. Top-level Demon Gods had their own pride.

"Are you sure you want to die?" The Chaos Pearl and Hongmeng Measuring Ruler in Li Xinghe's hands were already itching for action.

Ancestor Five Elements' lips trembled. Just what kind of background did this fellow have? Was he really the weakest Demon God in Chaos?

The Chaos Pearl and Hongmeng Measuring Ruler were far stronger than Hongjun's Jade Plate of Creation fragment. He simply could not be Li Xinghe's match.

"I suddenly don't want to die!" A true man knew when to bend and when to stand tall. Ancestor Five Elements suddenly understood.

It was not that he lacked integrity. Li Xinghe's methods were simply more astonishing than the last.

"Consider yourself sensible. You'll soon understand that I'm saving you by doing this."

"To subdue the enemy without fighting—Godfather is mighty!" Xuan Ming and Houtu leaped out.

Ancestor Five Elements silently swallowed the fruit of the Karma Tree and immediately sensed the karmic connection between himself and Li Xinghe.

From this day onward, his life and death rested in Li Xinghe's hands.
