Five-Element World, Houyi Shoots Down the Suns

Time passed. Within Five Villages Temple, Dao rhythm flowed as sparks of wisdom evolved.

Duobao and the others now seemed to sense some sort of transformation within their minds.

Suddenly, Hongyun laughed loudly. "Haha... I've succeeded! My spatial divine ability. Clouds and mist entwine, real and illusory, transforming into an escape art. Haha, I've merged the art of space into an escape technique. When cultivated to its peak, it can traverse the void. Good, good... I'll call it the Great Void Art."

Duobao pondered silently. "I have a few ideas in mind. I originally wanted to develop Heaven in the Sleeve, but my accumulation is insufficient. Relying on my many insights, I could only create one move—the Void Hand Seal."

Immortal Zhenyuan's expression shifted slightly. "My comprehension has deepened as well. I've turned Heaven in the Sleeve into an offensive and defensive divine ability, and furthermore developed a small world."

As the three spoke, Chen Yang felt somewhat awkward.

Although Chen Yang had countless inspirations, his foundation was too shallow. Moreover, Space Law was one of the several supreme laws. Comprehending it alone was already difficult; creating spatial divine abilities was even harder.

Fortunately, Chen Yang had already found some direction!

"Haha... Little Chen Yang, thanks to your treasure, we were able to develop such divine abilities. So it doesn't matter at all that you didn't comprehend anything. I'll pass this on to you..." As Hongyun spoke, he transmitted the escape art he had developed to Chen Yang.

Zhenyuanzi nodded as well. "My deepest insight allowed Heaven in the Sleeve to evolve considerably. It also solved the difficulty of others being unable to cultivate Heaven in the Sleeve. Or rather, I simplified Heaven in the Sleeve somewhat and formed a special divine ability. Using formations, divine abilities, and materials, one can develop a divine ability world. I call it the World in the Palm. A world is opened within one's palm, from which divine abilities are developed. It can kill, suppress, and defend. With a single palm strike, a world descends."

As Zhenyuanzi spoke, he did not hide anything and passed the wondrous method he had created to Chen Yang and the others.

Upon receiving this art, a sharp gleam appeared in Chen Yang's eyes. Without question, the art created by Zhenyuanzi had much in common with the Buddhist Sect's secret art, Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, from later generations.

After receiving this divine ability, Duobao could not help but say, "Martial Uncle Zhenyuan... this divine ability is excellent. Once developed further, it has limitless potential. If the world in one's hand could evolve into a great world, that would truly be invincible."

Zhenyuanzi faintly shook his head. "It won't be so easy to make the World in the Palm evolve into a major chiliocosm. Furthermore, this art's greatest flaw is that it uses divine abilities to gather a world. This world is formed from divine abilities and cannot nurture life. A world without life is ultimately an incomplete world. Finding a solution will be rather difficult."

"Haha... Why think so much? Creating this divine ability is already enough. The problems can be solved slowly, and the divine ability can be perfected gradually," Hongyun said.

Duobao nodded as well. "You should take a look at the Void Hand Seal I created."

At once, Duobao also passed his Void Hand Seal to everyone.

The group then began discussing it as well.

[You have comprehended the World in the Palm and the Void Hand Seal. With an insight in your heart, you summarized and refined your accumulation regarding Space Law, creating the divine ability—Five-Element World (Prototype)]

In the blink of an eye, several hundred more years passed.

Everyone remained engrossed in discussion and had created many more divine abilities with little value.

However, amid their contemplation, an explosive sound suddenly rang out from the heavens.

That thunderous explosion caused Zhenyuanzi and the others, who had been discussing the Dao, to pause slightly.

Chen Yang did the same, looking toward the source of the rumbling.

He suddenly discovered that an enormous Solar Star had fallen from the sky, flying toward Longevity Mountain.

Seeing this, whether it was Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, or Duobao, all sensed that something was amiss.

Chen Yang was the same, though he knew clearly in his heart, Houyi Shoots Down the Suns has begun!

As he muttered inwardly, Zhenyuanzi flicked his sleeve, revealing a special divine ability—the Mystic Light Mirror.

Within the Mystic Light Mirror, they saw a burly man raising his head and roaring at the heavens.

"Roar... Golden Crows, you deserve to die... You killed my friend. Today, I, Houyi, will shoot you down and bury you with my brother Kuafu!" Houyi roared.

Houyi drew an arrow, nocked it to his bow, and pulled the string taut. The arrow, filled with profound killing intent, contained Houyi's boundless fury.

That fury seemed to contain some immense power, even drawing in the baleful aura of the heavens.

"Twang..."

In an instant, the arrow shot forth.

It was unimaginably fast, surpassing space and even time.

A Golden Crow fleeing through the heavens cried out, "No... no..."

Unfortunately, the arrow instantly pierced through the Golden Crow. Filled with baleful aura and divine might, it immediately erased the Golden Crow's soul. Then, it pierced through the Golden Crow's body as well, causing it to explode and fall toward the ground.

A Golden Crow had died just like that. It was a Golden Crow, royalty among the demon race, yet it had been shot down so easily.

Houyi nocked another arrow and drew his bow. The baleful aura contained within the arrow shot out once more.

In an instant, that arrow shot down another Golden Crow.

In but a brief moment, several Golden Crows had been slain.

When Duobao and the others witnessed this sight, astonishment appeared on their faces.

Hongyun's expression changed slightly. "It seems this matter has grown serious. Dijun's sons have been slain by a High Shaman of the Wu Tribe. The Wu-Demon War may erupt once again."

Zhenyuanzi's expression shifted slightly. "With Dijun's sons killed, that kind of hatred truly could trigger a great war."

Duobao also looked grave. "When I saw the Golden Crows causing trouble earlier, I thought the Wu Tribe would at most drive them away. Who would have thought they would be killed..."

Chen Yang watched intently and could not help asking, "Master... what level of strength does this Houyi possess? How can he kill Golden Crows so easily? That's far too fierce. In such a short time, he's already killed several Golden Crows."

Duobao stroked his beard and pondered slightly. "Every member of the Wu Tribe is extraordinary, and their strength is astonishing. Houyi is a High Shaman, and moreover a Primordial High Shaman among the Wu Tribe. In terms of strength, he is absolutely in the Daluo Realm. Yet in battle, he can certainly be invincible among those of the same realm. Furthermore, he can fight opponents above his level, even battling Quasi-Saints."

As they spoke, another Golden Crow in the heavens was shot down by Houyi.

Watching, Chen Yang could not help but marvel. "Houyi is too powerful. Shooting down Golden Crows looks as easy as playing around."

"It is not that simple. Houyi may seem to shoot down Golden Crows casually, but it still consumes his mental strength. The innate Great Paths within Houyi include the Great Path of Earth and the Great Path of Time... Of these two Great Paths, the Great Path of Earth allows Houyi, while standing upon the earth, to receive an inexhaustible supply of support from the land. When he draws his bow, the Great Path of Time is contained within it, causing the arrows he fires to carry the Dao rhythm of time. That is why he can kill Golden Crows so easily. Of course, the bow and arrows in Houyi's hands are also anything but ordinary," Zhenyuanzi said.

"That's right... The Wu Tribe does not cultivate primordial spirits, so even if they obtain spiritual treasures, they cannot refine them. However, there are a few special spiritual treasures in the Primordial World that the Wu Tribe can refine. They are special spiritual treasures formed from the flesh and blood of Great God Pangu. The Wu Tribe can use their blood to sacrifice and refine them, eventually forming a bond of flesh and blood that allows them to wield the spiritual treasures.

The bow and arrows in Houyi's hands were formed from Great God Pangu's ribs. Both the arrows and the bow were transformed from ribs. Once fired, they can automatically draw upon the baleful aura of heaven and earth, as well as Pangu's aura.

Furthermore, Houyi possesses the Great Path of Time within his body. Standing upon the earth, he draws upon the earth's essence and fires an arrow accompanied by time. Under such an arrow, let alone Golden Crows who have only just entered the Daluo Realm, even Quasi-Saints would find it difficult to withstand it. Therefore, it is only natural that these Golden Crows were shot down," Hongyun said.

As he spoke, another speeding Golden Crow within the Mystic Light Mirror was struck by Houyi's arrow.

The Golden Crow wailed before finally exploding and falling toward Longevity Mountain.

Chen Yang stared at it, thinking inwardly, Master... the Golden Crow Clan is absolutely the most divine among divine beasts. Now that their corpses are falling nearby, can we collect the Golden Crow corpses?
