In the blink of an eye, Luo Qing was captured by Ancestor Hun Xing and brought back to Hundred Gods Mountain.
Seeing that the four Gold Gods left behind had vanished without a trace, Hun Xing was stunned and let out a sneer.
"I never expected, my disciple Chi Huo, that you would be so capable.
To think that the four fine hands of the White Gold God were so easily lost to you, it truly makes me look at you with new eyes."
One late-stage Gold God, three mid-stage Gold Gods, all four great Gold Gods were annihilated by Luo Qing in a short period of time.
Even if Hun Xing were foolish, he would know at this moment that his disciple possessed some other fortuitous encounter.
However, Hun Xing didn't care at this moment. No matter what fortuitous encounter it was, it would soon be his.
In fact, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could not suppress a Golden Immortal solely by their own aura.
Luo Qing only knew he was no match for Ancestor Hun Xing, which was why he pretended to be ambushed by Hun Xing using the Flame Fire Pearl.
Captured and brought into Hun Xing's core Cave Mansion, Luo Qing's face showed terror, but his heart was extremely calm.
Luo Qing was perfectly aware of Hun Xing's next actions.
Inside the core Cave Mansion, a complex Five Elements array was slowly radiating brilliance.
Hun Xing grabbed Luo Qing and threw him into the fire element array eye of the formation.
Hun Xing, at this moment, turned a blind eye to the fear and anger in Luo Qing's eyes.
As the formation rotated, Luo Qing's four nominal "senior brothers" with Gold God cultivation were also transferred into the other four elemental array eyes of the formation.
Five mid-level Innate Gods, who were also five Gold Gods of the Five Elements.
With the Innate Five Elements Gods in place, Hun Xing stood in the core array eye of the Five Elements Reversal Formation.
"After planning for tens of thousands of years, today is finally the day of consummation!"
"Do not blame me, my five disciples. The Great Dao is heartless. If I do not fight with all my might, I will eventually become a stepping stone for others."
"From now on, you and I will merge and share the Great Dao, is that not a beautiful thing!"
"This is an opportunity that countless Primordial Era beings cannot envy, so my five good disciples, please fulfill me!"
Perhaps facing a new life, Hun Xing couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at this moment, speaking much more than usual.
However, with Luo Qing and the other four subdued, no one responded to Ancestor Hun Xing's words.
Luo Qing merely rolled his eyes inwardly at Ancestor Hun Xing's speech.
He didn't think Hun Xing's actions were particularly evil.
His capturing of Innate Gods for research and artifact forging was no different from Hun Xing's actions.
It was just that Hun Xing should never have used him, Luo Qing, as a stepping stone for the Great Dao.
"Forgive my verbosity, let us begin now!"
Ancestor Hun Xing revealed a gentle smile, calming his excited emotions.
As soon as he finished speaking, a five-colored divine disk appeared above Ancestor Hun Xing's head.
Luo Qing's eyes instantly changed. As expected, he had encountered the worst possible situation; Ancestor Hun Xing also possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
For a Grand Unity Golden Immortal like Hun Xing to wish to transform into a high-level or even top-tier Innate God was not simple.
He did not have the ability to fully absorb and utilize the origins of just five mid-level Innate Gods of the Five Elements for his own use.
Everything still depended on this Innate Spiritual Treasure in Ancestor Hun Xing's hand.
Ancestor Hun Xing formed a hand seal and muttered: "Hasten!"
Luo Qing immediately sensed an anomaly with the Flame Fire Pearl on his body.
Not only the Flame Fire Pearl on Luo Qing's body, but also a five-element divine pearl flew out from each of the other four Gold Gods.
The five divine pearls, like children returning to their mother, spun rapidly on the divine disk.
"Origin of the Five Elements, return to your place, what are you waiting for!"
Ancestor Hun Xing roared.
Under the suppression of the divine disk and the pull of the formation.
A powerful pulling force emanated from the five divine pearls.
The fire origin within the White Flame Spirit Pearl, which Luo Qing had upgraded to an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, was immediately pulled uncontrollably towards Ancestor Hun Xing.
Luo Qing's pupils flickered almost imperceptibly. He immediately restrained his aura to the fullest, as if he had become a corpse.
Luo Qing had the White Flame Spirit Pearl to take the tribulation in his stead.
The other four Gold Gods were not so fortunate.
Their origins and Nascent Souls were pulled out helplessly, converging towards Ancestor Hun Xing.
Ancestor Hun Xing, whose entire focus was on absorbing and merging the five elemental origins, did not notice the slight flicker of anticipation in the lifeless eyes of Luo Qing, who resembled a corpse.
"The five elemental origins, all absorbed into my body, truly wonderful!"
Ancestor Hun Xing was overjoyed as it began to merge the five elemental origins.
The resistance from the five elemental origins was almost nonexistent.
This was because Ancestor Hun Xing had used a treasured artifact to assimilate the vital energy of the five individuals beforehand. When two people shared the same vital energy, the superior could suppress the inferior with a mere thought.
However, just as Hun Xing began to merge the origin of fire, its expression suddenly changed.
"It's poisoned!"
"The origin of fire is poisoned!"
"Damn it! Chi Huo, I'm going to skin you alive!"
Hun Xing's face turned pale, and it exclaimed in exasperation.
The origin of poison was mixed with the origin of fire. The origin of poison had already begun to infiltrate Hun Xing's own origin through the origin of fire.
This was no different from directly injecting poison into Hun Xing's origin.
Although this origin of poison was weak and could not poison Hun Xing to death, its transformation plan had undoubtedly been affected.
Now Hun Xing had two choices. One was to continue merging the five elemental origins.
If it did, its own origin would be severely damaged by the origin of poison, but its life would not be in danger. However, the repercussions would be endless.
The other choice was to immediately stop absorbing the five elemental origins and expel the small amount of the origin of poison from its body.
This would preserve itself, but the transformation plan would undoubtedly fail completely.
"Continue!"
Hun Xing gnashed its teeth, hating Luo Qing to the bone, but it had no choice but to grit its teeth and press on.
It did not want its tens of thousands of years of planning to go to waste. At worst, it would take tens of thousands of years to recover afterward.
Just as Hun Xing held its breath and endured the pain of its origin being poisoned, having assimilated about one-third of the five elemental origins.
The origin of fire suddenly dimmed.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Hun Xing was truly panicked, even more so than when it discovered the origin of poison.
"Heh heh! The origin of a low-level Innate Fire God is naturally not as potent as that of a mid-level Innate Fire God.
Master, isn't it obvious yet? You're about to merge the entire origin of fire!"
The corpse, which had shown no signs of life just moments ago, was now smiling as it looked at Ancestor Hun Xing.
Hearing Luo Qing's words and seeing Luo Qing standing there unharmed, Hun Xing knew at this point that it had been deceived by its disciple.
The imbalance of the five elements also signaled the complete failure of its transformation plan.
Tens of thousands of years of effort had gone down the drain. At this moment, Hun Xing was consumed by rage.
"You're seeking death!"
Hun Xing's eyes turned blood red, as if it wanted to spew fire. Its hatred for Luo Qing reached its peak.
From the moment Hun Xing brought him into Hundred Gods Mountain, the two had been mortal enemies.
At this moment, Luo Qing looked at Ancestor Hun Xing with equally icy eyes.
"Esteemed senior brothers, if not now, then when!"
Luo Qing's voice was leisurely, as if signaling the counterattack.
This instantly sent a chill down Ancestor Hun Xing's spine, making it feel as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
Fear replaced the anger on its face.
"No!"
Ancestor Hun Xing cried out in terror.
But it was too late.
