Cannot Be Refined, the Demon God Unleashes His Might to Destroy a Spiritual Root

"You push this tree too far!"

Feng Yue let out a furious roar. A Dao eye, constructed from the power of Great Dao runes and infused with the supreme mysteries of the Chaos Bell, manifested upon his massive trunk.

Facing the Five Elements Demon God's sudden assault, Feng Yue began his counterattack. As the Chaos Bell invaded his body, he began to decompose it, refining it directly into a stream of pure Great Dao power.

At this moment, the light emanating from his body grew increasingly scorching. Even his comprehension of the Five Elements Law deepened significantly, becoming more noble than before, carrying the faint, burgeoning majesty of a Demon God.

"Time Stop!"

The Five Elements Demon God was shocked. His pupils contracted sharply as the surroundings fell into a deathly stillness. Even the howling winds ceased abruptly; everything was locked in this exact moment.

"You can even use the time-space power of the Chaos Pearl?"

In that instant, the Five Elements Demon God felt as if he had violated some taboo of the Dao, having provoked an unfathomable existence.

He tried to flee the area immediately, only to find his beast form completely immobilized. The surrounding time was frozen, the space was locked, and even the power of Chaos could not flow.

Legend held that the Chaos Pearl controlled the infinity of time and the boundlessness of space—a supreme treasure of time and space, incredibly formidable, capable of granting others an alternative path to enlightenment.

He never expected that a Chaos spirit root would swallow and refine it, gaining sentience and learning the methods of cultivation.

The Five Elements Demon God felt a flicker of fear. He tried to summon the Five Elements Law from within his heart, but it had no effect.

The previous attack had been easily deflected by Feng Yue.

"I am but a tree with a clear conscience, having no desire to contest the path of enlightenment. Yet, you, a Demon God, have forced my hand time and time again. Since that is the case, I shall step onto the path of immortality, attain boundless Dao power, and wage war across the Chaos!"

As Feng Yue spoke, the sounds of the Dao resonated, and the aura of the Great Dao circulated. His entire trunk carried an ancient and eerie aura of laws.

He did not practice any specific Great Dao law, yet he carried the power of the Great Dao within himself. In the boundless Chaos, he exhaled and inhaled the power of Chaos daily, occasionally absorbing the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind to temper his constitution.

Only today did Feng Yue finally understand what his talent was.

He had no intention of comprehending the three thousand laws, yet he could absorb any law power within the Chaos—including the Five Elements Law power that the Five Elements Demon God had forced into him over these years in an attempt to refine him. All of it was refined into his own insights.

In fact, in the depths of Feng Yue's Dao heart, he sensed that he had already grasped about thirty percent of the Five Elements Great Dao Law.

However, because he had accidentally swallowed the Chaos Pearl, his original body, the Chaos Tree, had mutated into a Spacetime Chaos Tree. He primarily cultivated the Spacetime Dao, supplemented by the Five Elements Dao. If he could absorb other Great Dao laws in the future, he could supplement his power with those as well.

Listening to a Chaos tree's self-proclamation, the Five Elements Demon God became even more bewildered.

This Chaos spirit root seemed different from the ones he had encountered before.

"Whatever! You bizarre tree, no matter what, I will destroy you today!"

"Five Elements Great Dao, heed my command!"

"Reverse Five Elements Dao: Generation, Restriction, Annihilation!"

"Great Dao Forbidden Art: Chaos Source Severance, Five Elements Technique!"

The Five Elements Demon God grew frantic. To eradicate a Chaos spirit root, he did not hesitate to invoke the Five Elements Great Dao Law and activate a Great Dao forbidden art.

This was a method that harmed the enemy by a thousand while damaging himself by eight hundred.

Great Dao forbidden arts were the trump cards of every Chaos Demon God; they were never released unless the situation was a matter of life and death.

A Great Dao Golden Wheel, inscribed with the Five Elements Great Dao, manifested behind him. It was even larger than the million-mile-long Five Elements Demon God himself. The wheel was a phantom, summoned by the Demon God, standing tall behind his back.

The Great Dao Golden Wheel was dazzling, wreathed in endless Great Dao Radiance and inscribed with the power of Five Elements Law runes. It resembled a great formation, yet it was not.

"Five Elements positions, awaken the power of the Great Dao!"

"Eastern Azure Dragon, peak of Wood!"

"Western White Tiger, peak of Metal!"

"Northern Black Tortoise, peak of Water!"

"Southern Vermilion Bird, peak of Fire!"

"Central Qilin, peak of Earth!"

Five divine beast phantoms emerged from the Great Dao Golden Wheel behind the Five Elements Demon God. They stood silently, possessing supreme majesty.

The Five Elements Demon God's true form was a combination of these five divine beasts, positioned at the very front; it would be a lie to say he was not imposing.

The Time Stop cast by Feng Yue was torn apart with ease.

The Five Elements Demon God regained his freedom. At this moment, he looked like a supreme emperor at the peak of the cosmic Chaos, looking down upon the giant tree that was Feng Yue.

In front of the Great Dao Golden Wheel, even Feng Yue's ten-thousand-mile trunk seemed insignificant. The range covered by the Great Dao Golden Wheel was too vast; the surrounding aura was entirely saturated with the Five Elements Law, and even the power of Chaos was becoming tainted by the Five Elements.

"I give you one last chance: erase your own soul and sentience, and I shall spare your Chaos spirit root body!"

"Get lost!" Feng Yue roared. Even now, this Demon God was still coveting his body.

The Five Elements Demon God pursed his lips, a trace of blood slowly leaking from the corner of his mouth. This was the price of performing a Great Dao forbidden art and summoning the Five Elements Great Dao—he had to endure pressure he was not meant to bear in order to unleash a divine ability he was not meant to use.

"Be annihilated!"

As he spoke, the five divine beasts behind the Five Elements Demon God spat out the source of the Five Elements Great Dao simultaneously. It was the most primitive Five Elements power, all of which was channeled into the Five Elements Demon God.

The next moment, as Feng Yue watched with his own eyes, the Five Elements Demon God was covered in a mysterious glow, his aura climbing sharply, far exceeding the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage he had just reached, infinitely approaching the Limitless Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

In the inherited memories of the Great Dao, every Demon God, every Chaos creature—including spirit roots like the Chaos Flower and Chaos Grass that gained sentience—understood the realms of the Dao and the path of Dao comprehension.

Chaos Demon Gods, who carried the three thousand Great Dao laws, would be tempered and baptized by the Great Dao Lightning Tribulation on the day they took human form, facing a final, ultimate test to successfully manifest and reach the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage.

Ordinary Chaos creatures, however, were merely Chaos spirit roots or Chaos stones taking form, possessing only the strength of a Primordial Golden Immortal (equivalent to the Primordial World's quasi-saints) upon manifestation.

Feng Yue did not know if he could hold out this time, but looking at it now, everything had a beginning and an end.

Having swallowed the Chaos Pearl—one of the five great supreme treasures of Chaos—plus absorbing the power of Chaos for endless ages, enduring the ceaseless tempering of the Chaos Gale and the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, and receiving the infusion of the Five Elements Demon God's power for three kalpas, Feng Yue felt he might just be able to withstand this guy's forbidden technique.

"Come then! Let me see the most terrifying power of the Five Elements Demon God, so I may understand the gap between myself and a top-tier Chaos Demon God!"

He shouted at the Five Elements Demon God in the Chaos, instinctively mobilizing every ounce of his strength to condense the power of time and space.

The Spacetime Law was a supreme law, formed by defying heaven's time and space; it was not as simple as 1+1=2.

"Time-Space Devouring!"

"Dimensional Overlap!"

Feng Yue spoke, and the time and space behind him began to change violently, pulling the surrounding Chaos into a single flat plane.

"Die!" The Five Elements Demon God shouted, using every bit of his Great Dao power to release a ray of extreme mysterious light as he charged.

Facing this, Feng Yue said nothing more. Whether he lived or died remained to be seen.

And the unknown meant there was still hope.

He had not yet taken human form and his strength was low; compared to a Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he could only fight head-on.

The power of time and space exerted by Feng Yue's tree body carried a formidable aura that was no less than that of the Five Elements Demon God.

The dimensional devouring formed by the fusion of time and space created specific dimensions in the surroundings.

The two of them fought as if on a flat surface; no matter how fierce the gale or how the water and fire raged, they could not exist there.

Both divine abilities were terrifying; each manifestation was enough to make the cosmic Chaos tremble.

As the Five Elements Demon God's attack was directly neutralized by Feng Yue, that multicolored mysterious light remained dazzling, yet it could only stay suspended in mid-air, having been flattened into a two-dimensional space like a thin sheet of paper.

This was the phenomenon caused by the power of time and space, a power capable of transcending any Great Dao law.

"Interesting!"

"Since I have already activated the Great Dao forbidden technique and summoned the Five Elements Great Dao, I will kill you, you monster, no matter what today!"

The Five Elements Demon God said with a sneer. As a top-tier Chaos Demon God, his pride did not allow for any mistakes.

"Five Elements Divine Sword, fight with me!"

The Five Elements Demon God raised his hand, summoning a giant sword of multicolored light from the void. It was wrapped in countless rune powers, making one's back turn cold just by looking at it.

He was majestic, arrogant, and domineering, tearing through the Chaos universe as the long sword struck instantly.

Seeing this, Feng Yue hurriedly unleashed the Space Blade, using numerous branches to form spatial runes and striking out with them.

"Boom..."

Explosions roared out, echoing for ten thousand miles.

"Again!"

Seeing that his own divine abilities were not inferior, Feng Yue realized that even though he could not move, his entire trunk, branches, and even tender leaves could erupt with brilliant Great Dao power.

"Spatial Severance, Void Blade!"

He spoke, and two more divine abilities collided fiercely with the Five Elements Divine Sword. Sparks flew everywhere. Tens of millions of branches, each a Chaos spirit treasure, emitted a roar every time they collided with the sword; this was the manifestation of the Dao's sound, for Chaos spirit treasures were formed by the infusion of Great Dao power.

The sounds of the battle, bang-bang-bang, even attracted some small Chaos creatures—a Stone Man and a Chaos Flower.

They watched the battle between the two terrifying existences from far away, even managing to comprehend a sliver of their own Dao from the struggle.

Feng Yue was unaware of this.

However, the Five Elements Demon God was sharp-eyed.

"Lowly Chaos creatures, to think you dare to gain insights from the influence of my battle! You don't know the meaning of death!"

"Chaos Divine Fire, Soul-Scorching Extinction!"

The Five Elements Demon God flicked a purple-gold flame from his hand, blasting a Chaos Stubborn Stone more than three hundred thousand miles away into ash.

The two Chaos creatures hiding behind it were burned to ashes instantly, turning into the power of Chaos and returning to the void.

"You are actually this cruel?"

Feng Yue glanced over, feeling a surge of indignation. Was this Demon God truly so bloodthirsty?

"Cruel?"

"This is Chaos. The strong are respected; where does 'cruel' come into play?"

"I am a Chaos Demon God, born noble, a child of the Great Dao, inheriting the Great Dao laws. How can I be spied upon by a group of ants?"

Having said this, the Five Elements Demon God cast a look of fierce disdain at Feng Yue, thinking to himself, This Chaos spirit root is quite soft-hearted, but that is no good thing in the Chaos.

At this moment, Feng Yue understood that the Chaos was indeed unfathomably dangerous; even a casual glance at someone could be a death sentence.

However, it also proved the gap between ordinary Chaos creatures and Chaos Demon Gods—it was not a small gap, but a chasm.

That was the difference between a saint and an ant. No wonder mythology claimed that all beneath the saint were ants. This Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was no different from a saint, enough to stand proud throughout the entire Chaos.

"Space-Time Annihilation!"

Feng Yue felt a flicker of anger. His entire body surged with an ancient, eerie aura, appearing like the Great Dao yet not quite so.

Chaos is truly this chaotic; there is no order to speak of at all!

After unleashing his divine ability, Feng Yue could not help but feel a sense of loss. Crossing through the clouds to arrive here was certainly not a good thing.

In novels, not everyone was a protagonist.

"Sole Sovereign Sword!"

The Five Elements Demon God swung his blade forward. His massive form was accompanied by the Great Dao Golden Wheel of the Five Elements, resembling a god of Chaos. His radiant image struck terror into thousands of demons and monsters, and the pair of Vermilion Bird feathers behind him carried a sky full of divine fire. Wherever he passed, everything was ignited; even the power of Chaos could not withstand it.

Dammit, I must buy time to undergo transformation. Otherwise, if we continue to drain each other like this, I will never win. I'll be held back until my power of Chaos is exhausted and I die.

Feng Yue's mind raced with countless thoughts. He looked around; apart from the boundless expanse of Chaos, there were no other living beings. However, the clash between the two had stirred up a great deal of stray law energy, which he could use to absorb.

The power of Chaos within his own body was insufficient to overcome the tribulation of transformation. He needed a vast amount of time to cultivate in the silence of the ages.

For now, he had no choice but to fight while absorbing the power of Chaos and the scattered law energy to prepare for his transformation.

Regarding this, the only thing Feng Yue could do was endure. Though it was difficult, it held undeniable value for the future. A moment of hardship for a lifetime of ease!

A battle raged in the Chaos for a million years, spanning dozens of yuan hui. Feng Yue and the Five Elements Demon God continued to trade blows, with neither side showing any sign of retreat or defeat.

"You cannot hold on much longer. You are merely a Chaos Spirit Root. Even if you have swallowed the Chaos Pearl, so what? The power of Chaos within you cannot last long. Once your essence withers, that will be the moment you vanish from this world."

In contrast, Feng Yue actually wore a faint smile...

"Boastful words. Do you think I don't know that by unleashing such a forbidden divine ability to manifest the Five Elements Great Dao, you are likely consuming even more? I fear the one who won't be able to hold on soon is you!"

Feng Yue provoked him. In the time of over ten yuan hui, he had accumulated nearly a kalpa's worth of magic power and had even digested the remaining strength of the Chaos Pearl. Furthermore, the laws of the Space-Time Great Dao within him had deepened significantly through the heat of battle.

The Five Elements Demon God tilted his head, looking down indifferently. He stared at Feng Yue with a hint of confusion: This Chaos Tree is truly special. Its speed of absorbing the power of Chaos is incredibly fast—more mysterious and unfathomable than an ordinary Chaos Tree!

Immediately, he gripped his long sword tighter and laughed aloud: "I am the controller of the Five Elements Great Dao. By unleashing my divine power and utilizing the mutual generation and restriction of the five elements, I can continuously absorb the power of Chaos and convert it into Five Elements Dao power to replenish my strength. I am inherently in an invincible position. How can you hope to fight me?"

Keep posturing, just keep posturing until you die! Feng Yue thought to himself. With a forbidden divine ability of that scale, you've probably been holding back mouthfuls of blood, swallowing them down again and again.

A forbidden divine ability was no longer a standard law-based technique; it was a desperate, final resort. The Five Elements Demon God was surely strong on the outside but withered on the inside, merely holding on by a thread.

Both were guessing the other's state, convinced that their opponent was about to reach a breaking point. Yet, neither could have imagined that Feng Yue's performance was only just beginning.
