NOVEL WEB Chapter 180: The Land of Five Elements
Meng Qi truly envied Shi Hao's rapid increase in strength. However, one cannot generalize about people's physiques. Some people can even get pregnant while playing games as Yao, riding on others' heads. Fang Han truly couldn't imitate Shi Hao's method of becoming stronger, nor could he learn Shi Hao's method of cultivating the Supreme Vine.
Through their conversation, he also learned about Shi Hao. He knew Shi Hao's physique was extraordinary. The Supreme Bone was something Fang Han could not afford. If Fang Han's own bones were removed to make soup for the Cloud Piercing Vine, the vine would not get stronger.
...
With Shi Hao's strength, he couldn't exhaust all of the Lightning Tribulation Liquid. He absorbed half of it, then filled a stone cauldron with the rest. Without looking back, he rushed back to the surface. As soon as he left, the Void Realm was submerged in lightning. Rain poured down, and the world was a vast expanse of white.
"I need to go into seclusion for a period. Big Brother, be my Protector." After landing, Shi Hao immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. His breastbone glowed, and he felt uncomfortable all over, as if many ants were gnawing at him. This was the Five-Revolutions Supreme Bone, currently forming.
The Lightning Tribulation Liquid he swallowed transformed into the most fundamental Origin life force, surging within him. The life Qi of the Liquid gathered in his chest, and Supreme blood was generated, causing his entire body to grow once more. Forming the Five-Revolutions Supreme Bone was not a simple matter; it required time.
After speaking, Shi Hao became groggy and drowsy, collapsing among the flowers and grass. Shi Jian was stunned by the sight. He closed the live broadcast, then tossed Shi Hao's body into the Star God Palace.
[Xiao Yan: "Little Shi Hao has become stronger again. I'm truly envious. I'm preparing to head to Central Plains. Staying in Jia Nan Academy is of no help to me."]
[Meng Qi: "Too competitive! Are you all so competitive in becoming stronger?"]
[Yang Qi: "I feel like you all are constantly getting stronger, which puts a lot of pressure on me!"]
[Xiao Yan: "You and Shi Jian are the least qualified to say that. You two are the fastest at increasing your Cultivation in the group!"]
[Fang Han: "I'm the weakest. Did I say anything?"]
After seeing the live broadcast close, everyone continued chatting in the group chat. Upon seeing everyone's chat, Fang Han's lips curved into a slight smile.
[Fang Han: "Wait a few more days for me. I'm almost done with the Land of Five Elements dungeon. In two days, you can all come here to Cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique!"]
[Xiao Yan: "Brother Fang is righteous!"]
[Fang Han: "Cough, cough, cough, cough…"]
[Lin Dong: "I really want to improve."]
Everyone in the group responded enthusiastically. Fang Han had mentioned the Land of Five Elements a few days prior. They knew there was a large amount of Five Elements Essence Qi there, which could aid in cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique. If everyone could Cultivate in the Land of Five Elements, it wouldn't take many days to advance the Great Five Elements Technique to Perfection.
...
Closing the group chat, Fang Han struck out with a palm, blasting apart a huge jellyfish floating in the sky far away. The Gui Water Essence Qi surged into his body, and the progress of his Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist greatly increased at once.
That giant jellyfish was the size of a house, with a ferocious face. Its tentacles were comparable to Treasure Artifacts and could even shoot out water swords, possessing immense power. With a twist of its body, overwhelming water lightning would smash down. This was something only a Cultivator who had cultivated a water-type Protective Aura to its Peak could achieve. The power contained within this jellyfish was extremely abundant, allowing it to exert Magic Power much more persistently than ordinary Cultivators.
The Gui Water Essence Qi within its body was the most suitable nourishment for cultivating the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist. When the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist is cultivated to Perfection, the Cultivator's True Qi will be ten to a hundred times more abundant than others. Casting Spells will be much more enduring than for ordinary people.
Water-type Yao Beasts similar to this jellyfish were ubiquitous in this Land of Five Elements. When the others in the group arrived, they would only need to slaughter freely to Cultivate all the Five Emperor Great Demonic Divine Abilities to Perfection. Fang Han had been here for a long time, slaughtering relentlessly. Firstly, to Cultivate the Five Emperor Great Demonic Divine Abilities, and secondly, to lure out that ancient Demonic Venerable.
"I wonder where the White Tiger from the original plot is? That White Tiger is considered a Holy Object of the Land of Five Elements. If I kill it and absorb its Essence Qi, it will be enough to evolve the Geng Metal Qi into Geng Metal Divine Lightning." Fang Han pondered to himself.
He felt a sense of anticipation. He knew that Shi Jian had already transformed the Geng Metal Qi of the White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash into Geng Metal Divine Lightning. Now, Fang Han was only one step away from achieving the same. All of his Great Five Elements Technique had been cultivated to the Realm of Perfection by relying on the Five Elements Essence Qi of the Land of Five Elements.
He only lacked Five Elements Holy Objects of exceptionally high quality to completely Breakthrough the Realm of the Great Five Elements Technique. And such Holy Objects existed in this Land of Five Elements. Moreover, there was more than just one kind: Fire-type Holy Objects like the Vermilion Bird and Golden Crow; Water-type Holy Objects like the Black Tortoise; and a Metal-type Holy Object like the White Tiger.
As long as Fang Han found enough Holy Objects of all Five Elements, his White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash would then be able to catch up to Shi Jian's progress. His other Divine Abilities would also far surpass the others in the group. In the past few days, Fang Han had faintly felt a sense of being spied upon. He guessed that this feeling should be from that ancient Demonic Venerable. He had already been targeted.
Fang Han continued to walk deeper into the Land of Five Elements. Just then, a powerful Yao Beast appeared. A powerful Aura of slaughter emanated, and a low tiger roar came from afar, its voice deep, making one's chest feel as if pricked by ten thousand needles. Fang Han was unharmed, but the Nebula Baby beside him was shaken by the roar and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fang Han was startled and quickly shot a stream of green Origin Qi and black Origin Qi into the Nebula Baby's body. These were Wood Emperor Qi and Water Emperor Qi. The combination of Water and Wood Qi was a Holy Object for healing. The healing effect of Water Emperor Qi was not as good as Wood Emperor Qi's, but it could play an auxiliary role.
Having cultivated to this point, Fang Han's execution of the Five Emperor Great Demonic Divine Abilities became increasingly proficient. So many people in the group cultivated the Great Five Elements Technique. Their experiences could be shared. As the saying goes, the stones of other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one. Everyone's understanding and Cultivation of the Great Five Elements Technique would have different focuses. Therefore, the insights gained would also be different. When everyone exchanged ideas, they naturally could innovate and advance their Cultivation.
"The White Tiger has appeared," Fang Han was instantly overjoyed after healing the Nebula Baby. This tiger roar carried a powerful Aura of oppression. It was clearly that Gold-type Holy Object, the White Tiger. Just by its Aura, he knew this was an extremely powerful Yao Beast. It was even more terrifying than a powerhouse above the Golden Core of the Divine Ability Seventh Realm.
Fang Han looked into the distance. Indeed, a platinum color appeared on the horizon. A fierce tiger came into Fang Han's view. This fierce tiger was entirely platinum, its platinum fur swaying in the wind, exuding a terrifying might. As this White Tiger walked on the ground, the earth seemed to be endlessly compressed beneath its feet.
"Haha, the White Tiger has appeared, Fang Han! Your White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash can finally undergo a complete transformation. This is a Divine Beast born from the convergence of countless Geng Metal Qi and the interaction of Heaven and Earth!" Yan's voice rang in Fang Han's ears, his tone filled with excitement.
"The Three Great Sword Sects possess countless ore mountains. They used Formations within them, spending enormous costs, yet they couldn't condense a single White Tiger," Yan continued. "The Land of Five Elements truly is terrifying to be able to nurture such a thing!" Even the largest ore veins in the Profound Yellow Great World would struggle to condense a Divine Beast like the White Tiger after hundreds of thousands of years. This showed how rare the White Tiger was. No wonder Fang Han had searched for so many days before finding it.
Just as Fang Han and Yan were excited, the White Tiger actually spoke, its voice ancient and filled with Demonic Qi. "You are very good, very powerful. After entering the Land of Five Elements for so long, you haven't suffered any injuries, and your Magic Power remains strong and continuous. I just don't know how long you can maintain this state. There was also a young man who broke in, whose Aptitude was a bit higher than yours, and his Realm was also a bit higher!"
The White Tiger evaluated Fang Han while looking at him with greedy eyes. Fang Han knew the White Tiger was referring to Meng Shaobai. Meng Shaobai had also once ventured into the Land of Five Elements and encountered that ancient Demonic Venerable. Meng Shaobai's Demonic Fetus Parasitic Art was taught to him by the ancient Demonic Venerable. However, this Divine Ability was eventually acquired by Fang Han.
"The Geng Metal Qi on your White Tiger body is enough to elevate my Gold-type Divine Ability to another level. Why don't you sacrifice your Essence Qi to help me Cultivate?" Fang Han said with a sneer.
The White Tiger shook its head upon hearing this: "Young man, it's still too early for you to kill me. I've been born in this Land of Five Elements for countless years. During this time, countless Geniuses have ventured in here. Very few of them managed to leave, and none have been able to kill me. But you! Your slaughtering has awakened me from my slumber. I am very interested in your flesh and blood, Magic Power, and the Magic Treasures on your body!"
"Why don't you let me devour your flesh and blood, refine your Magic Treasures, and then let me break free from the shackles of the Land of Five Elements to see the outside world and become truly free!" the White Tiger spoke greedily. Fang Han was plotting against it, and it was also plotting against Fang Han. In the end, it still came down to who had the better means.
"It's a pity that the young man who came in last time escaped from me. This time, I will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Young man, I'll give you a chance to make the first move; otherwise, you won't have a chance!" The White Tiger looked as if it had Fang Han completely cornered.
"Boastful." Fang Han admitted that this White Tiger was indeed formidable, but that was only relative. He had cultivated the Five Emperor True Body and, in this Land of Five Elements, had cultivated the Great Five Elements Technique to an extremely profound Realm. Even the Five Emperor True Body had undergone a transformation. Now, his Magic Power was incredibly powerful. How could this White Tiger be his opponent?
So Fang Han had no reservations, unleashing a Sky-Covering Demonic Hand, and countless Demonic Qi permeated the air. This was the invincible Divine Ability he had obtained from the Ghost Emperor: Sky-Covering Ghost Hand. If caught by the Sky-Covering Ghost Hand, with Fang Han's current Cultivation, even Golden Core experts would be instantly killed.
Countless hazy afterimages flickered in the Void Realm, dreamlike and illusory. The White Tiger's speed was extremely fast. It was comparable to the Instant Kill Great Art. Just as the Demonic Hand was about to grab it, it suddenly vanished, and in the next instant, a sharp claw struck down from above Fang Han's head. The nails on the sharp claw were like Flying Swords, sharp and lethal, annihilating all life.
This was an endless slaughtering Spell. As a White Tiger condensed from the Dao of Metal, its attacks were imbued with an endless killing intent. "What speed!" Fang Han moved, using the Kunpeng Art to teleport to the side. At the same instant, the Sky-Covering Demonic Claw once again aimed at the Void Realm and grabbed.
This White Tiger's attacks shared many similarities with Yang Qi's. Both relied on extremely fast speeds to launch killing Spells. However, one was a Great Grandmaster of the Sword Dao, while the other was a Great Grandmaster of the Spear Dao. The White Tiger was a Holy Object condensed from Geng Metal Qi, possessing immense power, and its sword techniques were like those of a Great Grandmaster, extremely sharp.
When everyone gathered, they had privately sparred a bit. Fang Han already had ways to deal with this type of opponent. The Sky-Covering Demonic Hand seemed to sweep casually, but in reality, it skillfully blocked the White Tiger's path, then slammed hard onto the White Tiger's body. Fang Han felt a stinging sensation in his hand, and a sharp Sword Qi almost pierced through his Sky-Covering Demonic Hand. The Sky-Covering Demonic Hand erupted with monstrous Demonic Flames. The White Tiger's body showed a tendency to melt. It took a step, moving dozens of miles away, and golden light erupted from its body.
"A beast is a beast after all." Fang Han followed immediately with an instant step. This White Tiger's attack Dao was similar to Yang Qi's, but in other aspects, it was far inferior. After one fierce strike, it lacked stamina. Yang Qi, however, was different. A fierce strike, a terrifying strike, a full-power strike. This White Tiger was far inferior to Yang Qi.
Fang Han's thoughts raced, and his True Qi instantly surged out. His three Dao Artifacts swiftly surrounded the White Tiger, blocking its escape. "It seems I underestimated you," the White Tiger's body stood upright like a human, and its form flickered, transforming into a burly middle-aged man with a massive physique. Divine light shot from the man's eyes. Then, he set up a dense sword Formation. He intended to use the sword Formation to contend against the three Dao Artifacts.
Fang Han once again unleashed the Sky-Covering Great Hand. In an instant, demonic flames raged, pressing down with overwhelming power. Fang Han himself was hidden within the demonic flame great hand. The sword Formation set up by the White Tiger was completely shattered by the Demonic Hand. The White Tiger knew the power of this Demonic Hand and spat out a large amount of Geng Metal Qi, trying to sever the Demonic Hand.
However, at this moment, Fang Han's figure had already arrived beside the White Tiger. His great hand slammed out fiercely, and five-colored flowing light circulated on his palm. It was the Great Five Elements Technique, the Five Emperor Great Demonic Divine Abilities. The five great Divine Abilities combined to form a great Seal Spell, which then slammed onto the White Tiger's body. The Five Elements Divine Abilities formed a small cycle, instantly suppressing the White Tiger. The Essence Qi on the White Tiger's body continuously drained away, devoured by the Five Demonic Divine Abilities.
"Roar!" The White Tiger let out a roar, howling earth-shatteringly. He hadn't expected Fang Han to not only be powerful but also so insidious and cunning. His body was composed of Geng Metal Qi, not comparable to the Undying Body of a Longevity Realm expert, but it was also a form of an alternative Undying Body. Even if shattered into pieces, he could re-coalesce with Geng Metal Qi, just like an elemental body. As long as there was Geng Metal Qi, he could continuously recover.
And Fang Han's Five Emperor Great Demonic Divine Ability Seal directly struck his vital point, like hitting a snake at its seven-inch mark. That Seal continuously absorbed his Origin Qi to grow, like a parasite. The White Tiger's Origin Qi continuously weakened. He tried to gather strength to extinguish the Seal within his body, but the Seal formed by Fang Han's Great Five Elements Technique was not so easily broken.
"I am a powerful being born from the Five Elements Spiritual Root. As long as the Five Elements Spiritual Root is not destroyed, I will not die. How can a small being like you contend with me?" The White Tiger roared, suddenly inhaling and spitting out a white sphere. The sphere flickered with strong electrical light. This was precisely the Geng Metal Divine Lightning that Shi Jian had cultivated.
