Five Emperors and Five Sovereigns Fist, High Shaman Houyi

"This arrow seemed to be..." Chen Yang murmured. Watching it streak through the air at incredible speed, he reached out and grabbed it.

The arrow was extremely fast, but Chen Yang had already entered the Daluo Realm. He caught it in an instant.

"Buzz..."

Caught in Chen Yang's hand, the arrow let out a hum, as though it were trying to convey something.

Chen Yang stared at the arrow, and his expression changed. "A Sun-Shooting Arrow!"

Chen Yang recognized this arrow. It was Houyi's Sun-Shooting Arrow. Back when Houyi had shot down the suns, Chen Yang had witnessed it with his own eyes and had retained a deep impression of the arrows Houyi fired.

The instant he saw it, he thought of the Sun-Shooting Arrow. But why was a Sun-Shooting Arrow chasing Chang'e?

As Chen Yang pondered this, a shout rang out from afar. "Thief... I've finally found you! What kind of strange divine art did you use to steal my Sun-Shooting Arrow? Damn it..."

Amid the shout, a burly man approached.

The man's black hair hung in disarray, and a Sun-Shooting Bow was slung across his back. Boundless blood energy radiated from his body. As he strode forward, he resembled some savage beast from the primordial wilderness.

Seeing the man, surprise appeared on Chen Yang's face. "High Shaman Houyi..."

"You know who I am, yet you still dared to steal my Sun-Shooting Arrow. You're asking for it..." Fury filled High Shaman Houyi's face as he clenched his fist. Surging blood energy erupted as he charged at Chen Yang.

With that single punch, the blood energy around him surged forth like a heavenly pillar, as if it could pierce the vast universe.

"What is going on?" Chen Yang was equally confused. Watching Houyi charge at him in fury, he truly had no idea what was happening. "I don't care what High Shaman you are. If you dare come at me, I'll dare fight you."

As he spoke, Chen Yang did not hold back. Clenching his fist, he threw a punch.

Over the years, Chen Yang had cultivated the Nine-Turn Profound Art to the seventh level of the sixth turn. Among the disciples of the Three Teachings, his physical cultivation could certainly rank near the top. Thus, Chen Yang possessed absolute confidence in his body. Even against a High Shaman before him, he dared to meet him head-on.

"Five Emperors and Five Sovereigns Fist!" Chen Yang shouted as he threw his punch.

As Chen Yang launched his fist, the vital essence within his body boiled and transformed into torrential blood energy that surged into his five viscera and six bowels. At that moment, the formation inscribed within his five viscera and six bowels began to operate, as though one deity after another were being born within it. This divine art was something Chen Yang had developed over many years, relying on the wisdom enhancement of the Human Pool and his understanding of the Five Elements Formation.

The Five Elements within his body evolved into yin and yang. The yang Five Elements became the Five Sovereigns. The yin Five Elements became the Five Emperors.

Yin and yang merged, and the Five Sovereigns and Five Emperors formed this profound punch.

As the punch shot forth, the Five Sovereigns and Five Emperors intertwined through the yin-yang Five Elements Formation, ultimately becoming a five-colored divine fist.

The punch contained formations and interwove divine arts. This was the method Chen Yang had created: using formations to evolve divine arts, and divine arts to evolve formations. It was known as the Formation Divine Art.

"..."

"Boom..."

The powerful fist forces collided in an instant, then erupted at once.

The fists were like two great mountains crashing together, creating a shockwave that swept up violent winds and ravaged the earth.

The Eastern Sea Coast trembled from the collision, as if an earthquake had struck.

Tsunamis rose along the coastline, killing many sea creatures.

Amid that deafening boom, Chen Yang felt an immense force crash into him and could not help but retreat.

He was ultimately sent flying backward. Only after a short while did he steady himself, but even after landing, he could still feel his blood energy churning within him.

Houyi only took a few steps back, his expression unchanged. Instead, he laughed. "Interesting. A fist formed by interwoven Five Elements, with an endless stream of fist force. Very interesting... Again..."

As Houyi spoke, Chen Yang refused to yield and prepared to charge forward once more. Though Chen Yang now knew that his sixth-turn body was no match for High Shaman Houyi, he still wanted to fight.

Just as Chen Yang and Houyi were preparing for another clash of flesh against flesh, a figure suddenly appeared.

The moment that figure appeared, the previously eager Houyi was instantly overjoyed. "Ancestor Shaman Houtu... Why are you here? I..."

Chen Yang looked toward the newcomer and could not help saying, "Pingxin, you..."

The newcomer was Pingxin, who was also Houtu of the Wu Tribe. However, while staying among the Human Clan, Houtu called herself Pingxin and had Chen Yang address her that way as well. Over time, Chen Yang had grown accustomed to it.

Pingxin slowly approached and looked at Houyi and Chen Yang. "Houyi... What happened..."

"Ancestor Shaman Houtu... To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. Earlier, I was recuperating in my tribe. Then my Sun-Shooting Arrow suddenly flew up for no reason, as though it were under someone's control, and automatically flew away. I caught it several times, but it escaped each time. I thought the demon race was trying to steal my Sun-Shooting Arrow, so in my anger, I followed it here to find the arrow thief. Then I saw this Human Clan man, so..." Houyi explained with a hint of embarrassment.

Pingxin pondered slightly. "The Sun-Shooting Arrow flew here of its own accord?"

"That's right, it flew here by itself. So when I saw this Human Clan brother holding my Sun-Shooting Arrow, I angrily threw a punch. I didn't expect his body to be quite formidable, enough to exchange a punch with me." Houyi spoke honestly.

Chen Yang was speechless. Looking at the floating Sun-Shooting Arrow, which had now gone back to circling Chang'e, he could only say, "It seems this was a misunderstanding."

Houyi looked at the Sun-Shooting Arrow circling Chang'e and seemed somewhat embarrassed as well. "It really does seem to be a misunderstanding. Why is my Sun-Shooting Arrow so interested in a human woman? I..."

Pingxin looked at Chang'e and said quietly, "So that's how it is. It seems to be related to the demon race."

Houyi was slightly startled. "The demon race? Ancestor Shaman Houtu... What does the Sun-Shooting Arrow flying out have to do with the demon race?"

"Of course it is connected. Houyi... You should know what the Sun-Shooting Arrows were forged from." Pingxin said quietly.

"The material used to forge the Sun-Shooting Arrows... Could this Chang'e..." Houyi seemed to think of something, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Chen Yang was also curious and could not help asking, "Pingxin... What secret lies behind this? Rumor has it that the Sun-Shooting Arrows and the Sun-Shooting Bow were formed from Great God Pangu's ribs. Why does it now seem that the Sun-Shooting Arrows are connected to Chang'e?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Chang'e's previous life should have been Wangshu, Xihe's younger sister. Both Xihe and Wangshu were beings born from laurel trees that absorbed the Lunar Origin. In terms of origin, they were equal to Dijun. However, not long after Dijun established the Demon Court, Wangshu mysteriously perished. After that, traces of Wangshu gradually disappeared. After all, there were countless great experts in the Primordial World. When one great expert died, they would gradually be forgotten as time passed. Wangshu was the same. After several yuanhui had passed since her death, no one knew of her anymore.

However, by chance, Sister Xuanming found a small portion of Wangshu's origin in a special place. After obtaining that origin, Sister Xuanming gave it to Brother Zhurong. Brother Zhurong then used Wangshu's origin together with a few fragments of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe to forge ten Sun-Shooting Arrows, intending to use them against Dijun and Taiyi.

After all, the Lunar Star and the Solar Star countered one another. Wangshu had been born from the Lunar Star, and her origin was the Lunar Origin. It could restrain Dijun and Taiyi, who were formed from the Solar Origin. Moreover, the fragments of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe enhanced the arrows' power.

Later, Brother Zhurong gave the ten Sun-Shooting Arrows to Houyi. After all, Houyi was one of the few High Shamans in our Wu Tribe who cultivated the path of archery. Furthermore, Houyi had gained the recognition of the divine bow formed from Father God's ribs, so giving him the Sun-Shooting Arrows was the best choice. Houyi did not disappoint us either. He brought out the Sun-Shooting Arrows' unique power and shot dead nine of Dijun's children!" Pingxin explained slowly.

"So that was how the Sun-Shooting Arrows came to be." Chen Yang could not help sighing.
