The enormous figure was mostly hidden in the clouds, and in the instant it was sealed off, its massive body seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.
Its body resembles a giant lizard, but a pair of fleshy wings grow from its ribs. It's unclear whether the lizard strayed or the bat cheated.
At this moment, it was holding the awning boat in its ferocious maw.
Ancient ferocious beasts, Void Beast!
Taking advantage of the momentary pause, a long black cannon barrel appeared, supported by a massive Dharma Body, with the muzzle pointing directly at the monster that had revealed its true form in the air.
" Precision Sniping!"
boom!
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, as a powerful surge of energy, accompanied by a spiraling current, hurtled towards the Void Beast.
The Void Beast looked at the dark, gaping cannon barrel. The eerie muzzle seemed to possess endless magical power, and it sensed the terrifying energy within it.
The moment the shot was fired, the space around the Void Beast distorted, and it suddenly broke free from the sealing effect of the array, its massive body instantly disappearing into the clouds.
This is the spatial Power of Laws of the Void Beast!
Bang!
The Void Beast's escape was futile. Under the Precision Sniping of the array, an energy cannonball carrying a spiraling current struck its soul in one shot, forcing it to reappear from space, a hideous blood hole appearing below its chest.
"Roar!"
Its blood-red eyes glared at Xu Long in the lake. It decided not to hide anymore, flapped its wings, and headed straight down.
Xu Long sneered. This guy had been hiding in the shadows, watching for a long time, hoping to be the mantis stalking the cicada while he himself was the oriole behind!
The Void Beast arrived in a rage, but in an instant its massive body was below. Just as it was about to touch the lake, it suddenly raised its head and flew back into the sky.
Xu Long was still on guard when he sensed a powerful pressure. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a strong gust of wind swept in, cutting through the air.
It turned out to be the tail of Void Beast. Its speed was extremely fast. Without thinking, the World-Breaking Blade automatically rushed towards the strong wind.
when!
When the two collided, a massive airflow immediately dispersed, creating waves tens of meters high on the lake's surface. The Void Beast rose into the clouds once more, with the World-Breaking Blade, surging with Power of Oblivion, closely following behind.
Suddenly, Xu Long, who was below the lake, sneered. The array diagram activated, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered at the speed of light again. In an instant, the space in front of him tore apart, and a fierce energy burst out from it.
boom!
Countless Spiritual Qi Bombardment exploded above the Void Beast's head, the terrifying energy fluctuations evaporating all the surrounding water waves, and the curtain walls in front of Xu Long shattered automatically.
The Void Beast then revealed its true form in the lake. It had tried to strike with its tail but failed. Then it pretended to soar into the sky, but used its Law of Space to instantly reappear in front of Xu Long.
Originally, they planned a surprise attack, but Xu Long, that old schemer, had already anticipated their plan!
It had just appeared when it was hit by a violent Spiritual Qi Bombardment, and now it had terrible wounds on its head and chest. What terrified it most was that a force on the wounds was eroding its life force.
Power of Oblivion!
"Seal up!"
Xu Long had no intention of letting it go. His Dharma Body solidified again, and the Void Beast felt the space around it become confined. It immediately used its own Power of Laws to break through the spatial barrier.
Xu Long remained unmoved. The array diagram behind him stood on the lake. Although he had exhausted his Magic Power from the recent battles, he could sense a special energy gathering in the lake towards the stars in the array diagram.
The sky had darkened, and the Spot stars appeared in the sky, their reflections appearing in the lake. The array diagram stood on the lake, and the star reflections could be refracted onto the array diagram.
The energy of the nine celestial stars was continuously absorbed by the array diagram through the lake. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Dharma Body suddenly erupted, and a huge hand grasped the wings of the Void Beast. The World-Breaking Blade appeared silently beneath the palm.
The Void Beast could even clearly feel a terrifying energy surging towards it, and it roared:
"Roar!"
Having forcibly broken free of its restraints, just as it was about to take flight, the World-Breaking Blade arrived, accompanied by a heart-wrenching sound, and a large rain of blood fell from the sky above the lake.
You can't escape!
Seeing that the Void Beast was about to tear through the void again, Xu Long's Dharma Body quickly grabbed its tail and slammed it hard into the ground.
Snap!
The water in the lake splashed up to both banks, forcing the surging rivers from all sides to retreat. The Void Beast let out a mournful roar and finally put down the awning boat it was holding.
At this moment, the World-Breaking Blade erupted once more, its sword light swirling and emitting a series of buzzing sounds. With a thought, Xu Long's sword light surged and headed straight for the Void Beast. The sword flowers flying behind the World-Breaking Blade intertwined in the air, making the lake as bright as day.
Bang!
The Void Beast in the lake stopped struggling, and a sword beam pierced its chest like a hot knife through butter, the sword beams forming a net that pulverized its heart.
Void Beast, dead!
Xu Long watched as the massive body in the lake ceased its struggle. He extended his will and saw that the Void Beast had already succumbed to its life force. He slowly exhaled.
Today's series of battles had exhausted Xu Long's energy and Magic Power. Even with the replenishment of star power at the last moment, he still felt tired, but it was all worth it!
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the awning boat standing amidst the waves. From the initial suspicion of being spied upon, to finding Zhuzhou City, to the earlier doubts at the boat shop, to the Power of Oblivion secretly deployed, to the forced search using Curse Speech Technique, he was now certain that the fifth small fragment was on this awning boat.
This Void Beast is the hidden eye behind the scenes. As one of the ancient ferocious beasts, it grew up in the spatial barrier from childhood, devouring countless blood delicacies and spatial fragments. Naturally, it became very familiar with the power of space as it grew up.
However, each time the ferocious beast awakens and evolves, it usually needs to consume a large amount of blood to sustain itself. It must have noticed this Fragment World long ago, and it was behind the scenes that it used the Law of Space to shield Xu Long from his divination of Zhuzhou City.
However, after Xu Long sealed himself with the array diagram, he found the clue of Zhuzhou City. He then used Zhang Leshan to enter his dream and lure it away. The Void Beast knew that Xu Long Magic Power very powerful, so when Zhang Leshan boarded the Vulture King, it only followed from a distance and did not want to have a direct conflict with Xu Long.
Xu Long retrieved the awning boat and discovered that it was the very wood of the Five Elements he had been searching for, the Innate Wood Essence. Xu Long had already found the essence of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but the Innate he was careful.
I never expected to find it on this awning boat!
The awning boat turned into a small fragment, Xu Long sensed the abundant vitality within it. This was the essence of the Five Elements elements, a vibrant Innate Wood Essence!
Xu Long absorbed it into his body, and a massive amount of information surged forth from it:
Zhuzhou City was flooded, and both people and livestock perished!
Xu Long's pupils contracted. It turned out that the vibrant essence of wood was provided by the entire Zhuzhou City. How could Zhuzhou City, located on the river, not be flooded? The reason for the flooding was that this small Fragment World needed nutrients.
Xu Long had already experienced the old fisherman's skills; flooding a city was a small matter for him. He must have been the one who erased the flooding record from the local gazetteer. However, he didn't know that Xu Long already knew about the flooding in Zhang Leshan's memory and suspected it on the awning boat.
A city on a river, after several floods, was devoid of life, but then the river gave it life again, creating a continuous cycle of life and death, giving birth to fragments of vitality.
The essence of wood!
Xu Long retrieved the awning boat, and the lake beneath his feet immediately changed. He sensed that the energy released by the old fisherman was being slowly withdrawn.
The waters of the surrounding rivers and lakes instantly transformed into streams that flowed into the awning boat. As the streams continued to pour in, the shape of the awning boat gradually disintegrated, eventually turning into a fragment of pure energy.
Xu Long could clearly feel the enormous energy contained within the fragments; that slightly scalding energy was irresistibly drawing people in.
This is a unique Five Elements energy circulating between heaven and earth. The vibrant life force within it has already made Xu Long realize that this is the essence of wood energy that had slipped through his fingers before.
The old fisherman toiled for countless years. Every day at dawn, he would row his awning boat, carrying the tides of the lake, to Zhuzhou City. After drawing life from the Zhuzhou City via the river, he would return to the lake.
He waited endlessly, poured his heart and soul into it, and even watched helplessly as Zhuzhou City Oblivion by the floods time and time again.
From a lifeless Zhuzhou City of mud and sand to a bustling Zhuzhou City of endless fields and vibrant life.
The faint songs in my ears, I don't know when they started, I only know that those folk songs are sung for the living, and the countless sorrows and bitterness in the songs are sacrifices to the souls of the dead who have passed away beneath the tide.
Xu Long glanced at the Void Beast's corpse. This was another creature trying to take advantage. The Void Beast must have only recently awakened, so it desperately needed to devour a large amount of blood to replenish itself.
This pure essence of the Five Elements elements is even more rare and precious to it. After discovering that Zhuzhou City possessed a large amount of this essence, it hid in the shadows, trying to seize it.
Xu Long happened to be at the location of the essence fragment of the Divination Wood. He was very sensitive to fluctuations in spatial power and quickly used the spatial barrier to shield Zhuzhou City.
However, it couldn't find Xu Long due to the sealing effect of the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, and Xu Long took advantage of the loophole. What it didn't know was that Xu Long had suspected something was secretly watching from the beginning, so he was on guard against someone lurking in the shadows.
Both the old fisherman and the Void Beast coveted this fragment, but whether in the open or in the shadows, Xu Long won!
After a series of fierce battles and fierce competition, this fragment of wood essence, contributed by the life force of nearly three million people, finally ended up in Xu Long's hands.
Xu Long retrieved the fragment back into his body and looked towards Zhuzhou City. These two were interdependent, and without the nourishment of the wood essence, he wondered how long Zhuzhou City could maintain its prosperity.
However, Xu Long could not release the fragments again. He did not come to Zhuzhou City to do charity work. What he meant by contributing to Zhuzhou City was none of his business.
As the life energy gathered in the rivers and lakes is gradually reclaimed by the fragments, the Five Elements elements contained within the fragments become even more refined.
Xu Long had already collected four fragments, and now the Wood Essence Fragment was complete. The Five Elements elements of Qi within his body were fused together. These Five Elements elements of Qi are indispensable energies in the world, and these fragments are pure essence energy.
As he gathered them together, a surge of immense energy erupted within Xu Long's body, and the aura that connected heaven and earth manifested itself in him.
This is the Power of Laws this world!
A tremendous energy surged within his body, causing Xu Long's clothes to flutter without wind and his hair to fly wildly. As the Five Elements of energy Fusion more and more tightly, the resulting refined energy became increasingly powerful.
The immense energy surged uncontrollably through his limbs and bones, coursing wildly through his meridians. Even with Xu Long's formidable physical strength, he felt a tingling sensation.
The energy was so immense that it gathered and impacted all the meridians in the body. They were like a surging water source, flowing rapidly through the dried-up meridians, vying to gather strength and impact the blockages in the meridians.
It roamed freely around him, leaving energy in many places where no Magic Power was infused, and suddenly charged into the long-sealed passes, refilling the dusty spiritual apertures with energy!
Xu Long discovered that his Late Body Integration Stage Realm had suddenly become slightly unstable!
The immense energy of the Five Elements finally flowed through his meridians, and Xu Long now displayed a majestic aura that seemed to soar to the heavens, his perfected aura standing out prominently between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Xu Long's cultivation level has loosened, and countless pure energies flow around his body, his will revealing a connection with heaven and earth.
The air around was unusually heavy, with thick clouds gathering above Xu Long. Lightning crackled within the dark clouds, but no laws descended, as if this world was trying its best to tolerate something.
Xu Long knew that his cultivation level had weakened when he saw the clouds gathering. He quickly withdrew his powerful will and used the array diagram to suppress the overflowing pure energy.
He was well aware that the immense energy he had gained from collecting the fragments of the Five Elements had loosened his cultivation level, and the Lightning Tribulation he would face at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage was approaching. However, now was not the best time to break through his cultivation level.
He didn't want to undergo the Lightning Tribulation now; he needed to suppress the energy within his body and temporarily maintain his cultivation at the Body Integration Stage!
The nine stars slowly rotated, and the ancient aura gradually calmed the restless energy within the body, guiding it to slowly circulate normally through the meridians of the dantian.
The immense energy was instantly drawn back into his body, but Xu Long knew he was in grave danger. If the vast energy within him went out of control, the Five Elements energy he had painstakingly acquired would dissipate.
However, the Five Elements energy is the essence of heaven and earth. After helping him break through to a higher realm, half of it remained, causing turmoil within his body.
Xu Long was already prepared!
He gradually transferred the energy into his clone within his body. The surging energy immediately found an outlet, flowing into his clone like a flood, greatly reducing the pressure on Xu Long.
The clouds overhead finally stopped gathering, the flashes of lightning within them slowly faded, the surrounding spiritual pressure dissipated, and the oppressive air was dispersed by a gentle breeze.
True Dragon Clone!
Xu Long had previously created True Dragon Clone using a secret technique. This clone had accumulated a large amount of materials and cultivation resources, which, with the continuous supply, gradually made the clone's cultivation stronger.
Xu Long's True Dragon Clone is not External Incarnation of an ordinary cultivator, nor is it a Magic Power puppet of a cultivator.
