The moment Luo Qing finished speaking, the Origin of the four Grand Unity Golden Immortals that Hun Xing was fusing suddenly underwent a change.
The consciousnesses of the four Divine Origins had actually been suppressed by Hun Xing long ago.
Unfortunately, Hun Xing did not know that.
Before he returned, Luo Qing had already secretly used the Eye of the Great Dao's insight to tear a crack in Hun Xing's seal.
This crack could not let the consciousnesses of the four Divine Origins fully awaken, or Hun Xing would easily detect it.
But it gave the four Divine Origins one chance to awaken on their own.
Luo Qing had already reached an agreement with the four Divine Origins beforehand. Once the signal was given,
the four Divine Origins immediately awakened and detonated their Origins, aiming to heavily injure Hun Xing.
The four Divine Origins hated the Hun Xing who had deceived them to the bone.
Without much hesitation, they agreed to Luo Qing's plan.
They were going to die anyway. If they could drag Hun Xing down with them before dying, it would at least ease the hatred in their hearts.
At this moment, Hun Xing had fused about one-third of the four Divine Origins.
The consequences of the four Divine Origins detonating their Origins together were obvious.
Ancestor Hun Xing had just uttered a "No"
when a deafening explosion erupted inside his body, beside the four Divine Origins' divine souls and Origins.
"Crack!"
A heaven-shaking thunderclap exploded inside Ancestor Hun Xing's mind.
His own core Five Elements Origin developed four horrifying cracks under the self-destruction of one-third of the four Divine Origins.
"Pfft!"
The Origin of the Great Dao nearly shattered, and the backlash Hun Xing suffered was devastating.
His aura visibly plunged to rock bottom, and his cultivation as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, Ancestor Hun Xing's face was ashen. With the Origin of the Great Dao shattered, such Dao injuries were nearly impossible to heal. His Dao Path could be said to have been completely severed.
Luo Qing watched in surprise as Ancestor Hun Xing used the Divine Treasure Disc to suppress his injuries, and he felt rather regretful as well.
"Teacher truly is formidable. You can still retain your cultivation as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal even after this. Since the four senior brothers have given you such a great gift, how could I, your junior brother, neglect you?"
Luo Qing's voice sounded like a demon's once more, making Hun Xing's expression turn savage and terrifying.
"Chi Huo, you truly deserve to die! I will grind your bones to dust!"
"Explode!"
Facing Hun Xing's threat, Luo Qing shouted the word "Explode."
Hun Xing's pale face immediately shifted through shades of blue, red, and purple.
With that single shout, Luo Qing detonated the Fire Origin Hun Xing had fused.
In the end, this Fire Origin was merely the Origin power of the Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the White Flame Spirit Pearl.
As the owner of the Divine Treasure, Luo Qing naturally controlled its ability to self-destruct.
However, the Fire Origin was comparatively weak, and the power of its detonation could not compare with that of the four Divine Origins.
It merely added a fifth, smaller crack to Hun Xing's core Origin.
But the Poison Origin mixed into the Fire Origin spread completely through Hun Xing's Origin along the five cracks as the explosion occurred.
This meant that Hun Xing had been afflicted with a deep Dao poison.
"Pfft!"
Hun Xing spat out another mouthful of blood. At this moment, he could no longer maintain his cultivation as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
The Position Dharma Appearance he had condensed was already covered in cracks and stood on the verge of shattering.
His aura fell again and again, finally dropping to the late stage of the Metal God realm.
Hun Xing's face was wan and his vital essence, spirit, and energy were all utterly listless. He knew that his situation had become hopeless and his Dao Path had been severed.
But his hatred for Luo Qing only grew stronger. His originally excellent situation had all been ruined by Luo Qing.
How could Hun Xing not hate him?
"Do you think that after ambushing this ancestor, you can stay alive? Naive!
Even if this ancestor falls to the Metal God realm, dealing with you will still be effortless."
Ancestor Hun Xing let out a bitter laugh, his eyes overflowing with hatred.
The Divine Treasure Disc above his head suppressed his body.
Buzz!
At the core cavern abode of Hundred Gods Mountain, five palaces—one main and four auxiliary—instantly raised a Grand Unity Five Elements Formation.
"Hmph!"
Luo Qing sneered as well.
At this moment, Hun Xing, whose cultivation was only at the Metal God realm, was like a stray dog. He was merely struggling on the brink of death.
As the grand formation rose, it enveloped both Luo Qing and Hun Xing.
"You ignorant brat, you have no idea what methods a Grand Unity Golden Immortal possesses. Just—"
As Hun Xing spoke, he was about to use the grand formation's power to suppress and kill Luo Qing.
But before he could finish, Hun Xing suddenly discovered that his connection with the grand formation had been completely severed.
Luo Qing had the Fire Spirit Ring suspended above his head, while the four Innate Spiritual Rings of Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth revolved around him.
The instant the cavern abode's grand formation activated, Luo Qing seamlessly took control of it.
The Eye of the Great Dao was the ultimate nemesis of Formation Arrays.
After ten thousand years, Luo Qing was even more familiar with this Grand Unity Five Elements Formation than Hun Xing.
"Innate Five Elements Spiritual Rings!" Hun Xing's expression twisted.
Having lost control of the grand formation, he saw the Spiritual Treasures surrounding Luo Qing replenishing one another.
"These are mine. They should have been mine!"
At this moment, evil energy surged from Hun Xing's entire body. He drove the Divine Treasure Disc, sending wave after wave of Divine Ability Spells wildly toward Luo Qing.
"Heh, come at me!"
Luo Qing sneered.
Facing Hun Xing's Five Elements Divine Abilities, he neither dodged nor evaded. The Five Elements Spiritual Rings joined together and spun rapidly, shielding him.
Hun Xing's Five Elements Divine Path Magic was like snow falling into boiling magma when it collided with the Five Elements Spiritual Rings.
Before it could even touch them, it had already melted away.
"It ends here!"
Luo Qing looked coldly at the frenzied Ancestor Hun Xing.
With Luo Qing's urging, the grand formation's power rapidly pressed down toward Ancestor Hun Xing.
Without the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Ancestor Hun Xing was helpless against a Grand Unity formation.
He could only barely protect himself with the Innate Spiritual Treasure above his head.
But Luo Qing was unwilling to delay any longer.
"Suppress!"
The Five Elements Spiritual Rings exerted their power together, and a beam of Spiritual Light instantly struck the Divine Treasure Disc above Hun Xing's head.
It fixed the Divine Treasure in midair.
Ancestor Hun Xing's expression changed.
With a thought from Luo Qing, the four Innate Spiritual Rings successively swept across Ancestor Hun Xing's neck.
After being struck by four Innate Spiritual Treasures, Hun Xing had no chance of surviving.
His face retained an expression of shock as flakes of ash peeled from his body.
Luo Qing swept out his sleeve, and Hun Xing completely turned to dust. The grand formation's power then ground him away until even the ashes vanished.
Hun Xing, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, had completely fallen!
A lower realm defeating a higher one, with careful planning against an unprepared opponent.
Although the process had not been without danger, Luo Qing ultimately killed Hun Xing, this great enemy, without suffering any true peril.
He first put away the Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Treasure Disc left behind by Hun Xing.
Without time to inspect it, Luo Qing turned his gaze to the remaining physical shells of the four Divine Origins.
This time, he had been able to kill Hun Xing, this Grand Unity ancestor, so easily largely thanks to the self-destruction of the four Divine Origins.
Luo Qing had not forgotten the promise he had made.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoists. I will honor my promise and send your Remnant Souls into reincarnation."
After saying this, Luo Qing summoned them with a thought, and the divine soul fragments left after the four had detonated their Origins returned one after another to their bodies.
These remnants of their divine souls no longer possessed independent consciousness, so resurrection was impossible.
But reincarnation was still possible.
After temporarily putting away the bodies of the four Divine Origins, Luo Qing appeared in the treasure vault of the cavern abode in the blink of an eye.
Without even looking, Luo Qing stored the entire treasure vault.
Hundred Gods Mountain was not a tightly organized sect, and most of its treasures had been collected by Hun Xing, the mountain lord.
Alternatively, the various Metal God elders carried them on their persons.
Thus, aside from this treasure vault, Hundred Gods Mountain had no other major treasure depositories.
Without the slightest hesitation, he put away the treasure vault.
Luo Qing immediately fled beyond Hundred Gods Mountain. After leaving Hundred Gods Mountain,
he silently uttered a word.
"Explode!"
The Grand Unity Five Elements Formation atop the core cavern abode of Hundred Gods Mountain instantly detonated, completely flattening the core area of Hundred Gods Mountain.
Only after every trace had been erased did Luo Qing finally relax. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot.
Several hours later,
a phoenix cry rang through the heavens and descended upon Hundred Gods Mountain.
"Damn it! Who destroyed my Phoenix Clan's plan and ambushed Mountain Lord Hun Xing? The Dragon Race or the Kirin Clan?"
The Phoenix Clan's Grand Unity expert looked grimly at the vanished core region of Hundred Gods Mountain below.
Hun Xing's aura had been extinguished down there.
He had originally been on his way to besiege the Fierce Beast Remnants when the Phoenix Clan's Grand Unity expert suddenly discovered that Ancestor Hun Xing had disappeared.
That was why he had hurried back to investigate.
He had never expected Ancestor Hun Xing to have already perished on Hundred Gods Mountain.
