Five Elements Roulette
After the Star Domain exit was completely closed, isolating all the noise, worries, and prying eyes from the outside world, this Deadly Land, which had been transformed into an eternal Sea of Fire, fell into a deathly silence and roar.
The churning, Purple-Black Flame seemed to possess a life of their own, continuing to roar and surge tirelessly, releasing terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating even Dou Venerate.
However, at the heart of this scene of destruction, on that "isolated island" protected by an invisible force, Lin Ming, who had kept his eyes tightly closed as if isolated from the outside world, slowly curled up a subtle yet composed smile that exuded an air of complete control.
This smile formed a stark contrast to the devastated surroundings.
Without hesitation, he focused all his attention on his body, preparing to face the final refining process whose outcome was already predetermined.
At the same time, the Three Thousand Burning Flame Source Dragon, which had entered Lin Ming's body and roared down along his meridians, was about to wreak havoc and turn the tables, completely devouring and burning the human who dared to contain it from the inside out. Just as a cruel and triumphant look flashed across its dragon eyes, which were burning with violent flames, a sudden change occurred!
It felt as if the environment around it suddenly spun violently, as if space itself had been forcibly distorted and replaced!
That feeling wasn't just simple teleportation; it was more like the fundamental rules of the entire world being forcibly rewritten in its presence!
Before it could react, the surrounding images of human meridians and internal organs vanished instantly, replaced by a strange space that was completely unfamiliar to it, yet it felt a tremor and fear originating from the depths of its soul!
This space is neither an ordinary dantian nor a soul realm, but rather the foundation upon which Lin Ming made his name—the power of the Five Elements Origin cultivated from the Cultivation Method <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>. When he successfully Advance to Dou Ancestor, this space World Prototype unique to him that he created within his body!
Although this Inner World is only ninety feet in diameter and not considered vast, its structure is extremely stable. Earth, Water, Fire, Wind are initially established, Five-Element Rotation endlessly, exuding a primitive, ancient, and Source Qi, as if the world had just been created.
Here, Lin Ming is the creator of this nascent world, the absolute Sovereign, and his will is the Law of this world!
The reason why Dou Di are so powerful and stand above all living beings is that they can directly communicate with, mobilize, and even control the power of the World Origin Law on the Dou Qi Continent to a certain extent!
When fighting against Dou Di, those below the Dou Di will feel their connection to the entire world being forcibly severed, like fish out of water, unable to mobilize any Heaven and Earth Energy, and can only rely on their own limited Dou Qi to resist, naturally making them vulnerable.
At this moment, within this World Prototype completely under Lin Ming's control, he possessed the authority of Dou Di or even surpassing that of Dou Di!
Therefore, from the moment the little dragon of the Three Thousand Burning Flame chose to enter Lin Ming's body and attempt to devour him from within, its fate was already sealed—it was no longer a wolf that had wandered into a sheepfold, but had walked into a trap and jumped into the domain controlled by the divine dragon, and could no longer stir up any waves!
"This... this is the power of the Five Elements Origin! Or rather... a nascent Five Elements Laws space?! How is this possible?! How could a Dou Zong possibly nurture such a rudimentary World Prototype within his body?!"
Having lived for countless years and witnessed the Heaven and Earth Divine Object of ancient Secrets, the little dragon of the Three Thousand Burning Flame immediately sensed the most core and essential power attribute of this space after a brief moment of astonishment and discomfort!
Its dragon body, formed from flames, trembled slightly from extreme shock, emitting an unbelievable, soul-piercing scream.
The Five Elements Laws are the foundation of the world and one of the most fundamental forces in the universe! Even in its rudimentary form, its potential and rank far exceed the comprehension of this single Fire Attribute Heavenly Flames!
"As expected of an ancient being who has lived for countless years! Their eyesight is indeed sharp, recognizing the existence of the Five Elements Origin Power at a glance."
Faced with the shock of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Lin Ming's Soul Projection slowly coalesced in this space, a smile on his face, his tone calm yet carrying a condescending appreciation, as if he were evaluating a rather decent collectible.
"It seems you are more valuable than I thought."
At this moment, the little dragon, the source of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, fully understood its predicament.
It didn't enter the body of its prey, but rather intruded into the absolute domain of an existence it could not comprehend at all!
The previous temptations, negotiations, and even its self-righteous opportunity to retaliate were all traps meticulously set by the human before it! An unprecedented despair and overwhelming rage at being played instantly overwhelmed its intelligence.
Knowing it was doomed and had no chance of survival, the primordial dragon completely abandoned any illusions or hope. It suddenly raised its head, its dragon eyes burning with flames of humiliation and madness, and unleashed the most vicious and hysterical soul Soul Roar and curse at Lin Ming's calm, illusory Soul Projection:
"You despicable and shameless human ant! How dare you scheme against me, this fire! Using such treacherous means to lure me into your source! You will die a horrible death! I curse you! I curse you to fail in your refining, your soul to be forever condemned to the Netherworld, to be consumed by Wan Huo, and never to be reborn! You thief who stole the power of heaven and earth! How dare you lay a finger on the Five Elements Origin! You will surely be punished by heaven, devoured by the Law, and annihilated, body and soul...!"
All sorts of foul language and vicious curses burst forth from the depths of its soul like a sudden storm, attempting a final struggle to disturb Lin Ming's mind.
Faced with this frantic cursing, which sounded like the wailing of a defeated dog, Lin Ming's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
He listened quietly, as if listening to a commotion that had nothing to do with him. Only when the little dragon's curses became sharp and piercing due to extreme anger and fear did he slowly raise his eyes, his gaze like that of a high god looking down at the struggling dust at his feet.
"Noisy."
The voice was soft, yet it contained the supreme majesty of the Sovereign of this world.
"Considering that you are about to become one with me and a part of my power, I will let your rude barking slide."
Lin Ming's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable final verdict.
"Abandon your pointless pride and struggles. Follow me, and your power will not be tarnished. It will resound throughout this continent in my name, and may even... touch the legendary Supreme Realm. This is a billion times better than you endlessly slumbering in this Star Domain, or being captured by the Soul Hall and having your mind extinguished."
He paused, as if saying a final goodbye, or perhaps making some kind of ritualistic declaration.
"Alright, let's get going. Your old consciousness should dissipate."
As Lin Ming finished speaking, the Five Elements Space, which was ninety feet in diameter, suddenly trembled violently!
"Buzz--!"
A buzzing sound, as if the heavens and earth were being created, resounded throughout the entire space! The five most fundamental forces, representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, surged forth from every corner of this world in an unprecedentedly clear form!
In the east, the verdant Wood Essence Qi into the phantom of towering ancient trees; in the west, the incomparably sharp Metal Essence Qi condenses into the cold light of countless sword blades; in the south, the blood-red Fire Essence burns fiercely; in the north, the deep blue Water Essence gathers into a river; in the center, the heavy and majestic Earth Essence condenses into a mountain!
These five Origin Power did not simply converge; rather, guided by Lin Ming's will, they intertwined and merged in an incredibly profound manner, instantly condensing above his head into a massive "Five Elements Roulette" that slowly rotated and exuded Chaos aura!
This wheel is enormous, occupying almost half of the sky. Five-Colored Brilliance flows endlessly on it, interacting and restraining each other, circling back and forth, forming a perfect and stable internal cosmic model.
At the center of the roulette wheel was a deep, Chaos Vortex that seemed capable of devouring and giving rise to everything. An indescribable, terrifying suction and Purified force emanated from the roulette wheel; it was the power of the Law originating from the World Origin, specifically targeting all "alien" intelligence and energy that did not belong to this realm!
"No--!!!"
Sensing the immense power of the Law contained within the Five Elements Roulette, enough to completely erase its existence, the little dragon of the Three Thousand Burning Flame let out a final, soul-piercing scream filled with extreme fear and resentment!
It desperately urged all the dark flames within its body in a final act of resistance; the destructive flames even scorched and slightly distorted the space around it.
However, in this world constructed by the laws of the Five Elements Laws, all its resistance was in vain. The enormous Five Elements Roulette, with its irresistible majesty and slow but steady pace, slowly descended upon the tiny, pitch-black fire dragon below.
Before the roulette wheel even arrived, the powerful fluctuations of the Law acted like invisible shackles, firmly imprisoning the primordial dragon of the Three Thousand Burning Flame in place, making it incredibly difficult for it to even move a single claw.
Within its dragon eyes, burning with ferocious flames, was reflected the ever-approaching wheel, radiating a Chaos five-colored light. The Spirituality, wisdom, memories, emotions—all the elements that constituted the independent consciousness of "Three Thousand Burning Flame"—began to melt, disintegrate, and peel away rapidly under the wheel's illumination, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun.
Its cursing ceased, its struggles weakened, and the light in its eyes quickly dimmed, replaced by emptiness and bewilderment. This meant that the intelligence it had accumulated over countless years was being erased bit by bit, yet irreversibly, by the most fundamental power of "Purified" and "Return to Ruin" of the Five Elements Roulette!
Finally, in the instant the roulette wheel completely enveloped its dragon body, all resentment, anger, and fear vanished into a void of silence.
