73: Chapter 73 Five Dragon Beast Spirit Talisman
Trial Space, Third Floor.
"Yellow-rank True Disciple, Chu Feng."
"Third Floor assessment content: Kill one thousand Stone Golems with False Core strength."
"Reminder: Protective barrier defense has been enhanced."
A gentle voice echoed in Chu Feng's mind.
He opened his eyes and looked outside the barrier.
One thousand Stone Golems.
Chu Feng took a deep breath.
Could the High Grade Profound Rank Twin Dragon Beast Talisman still be used?
The answer was no.
On the second floor, a single Twin Dragon Beast Talisman had barely managed to kill one hundred Stone Golems; that was its limit.
Facing a thousand, he would need at least eight or nine of them.
The time required to craft a single Twin Dragon Talisman was five hours.
Eight or nine would take over forty hours.
The barrier would absolutely not hold for that long.
Furthermore, crafting eight or nine Twin Dragon Talismans consecutively would be a fatal drain on his Mental Energy and mana.
Chu Feng suspected he would be completely exhausted by the fourth one.
"So, the Twin Dragon Beast Talisman won't work."
Chu Feng's gaze was calm; he was not in despair.
He had long been mentally prepared.
From the moment he decided to challenge the third floor, Chu Feng knew he had to bring out his trump card.
It was something he had conceptualized in his mind for a long time but had never dared to actually draw.
The Five-Dragon Beast Spirit Talisman.
According to rank classification, the Five-Dragon Talisman had already entered the Earth Rank.
Moreover, its difficulty was far beyond that of ordinary Earth Rank Talismans; even some High Grade Earth Rank Talismans were not as difficult to craft.
Chu Feng had deduced the Talisman's rune structure in his mind countless times, yet he never dared to set pen to paper.
Because it was too difficult.
One Talisman cannot hold two dragons, unless they are a male and a female dragon.
This was the principle he had realized when creating the Twin Dragon Talisman.
Through the mutual aid of Yin and Yang and complementary attributes, two dragon runes could coexist harmoniously on the Talisman paper.
So, what about five dragons in one Talisman?
Unless... one male and four females!
Five dragon runes, five attributes.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Five Elements generate and overcome each other; how could he construct a balance on a single piece of Talisman paper?
How could he make the five dragon runes exist independently while also responding to each other?
How could he make the five dragons emerge together without conflicting at the moment of activation?
The difficulty lay in the 'connection points'.
How could one male dragon connect to four female dragons simultaneously?
That would naturally be the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Chu Feng closed his eyes, and countless runes flowed through his mind like a galaxy.
His previous deductions now transformed into a concrete plan.
"The Five Elements rotate, mutual generation serves as the bridge."
He murmured to himself, "Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal... Using the power of mutual generation to build an energy cycle, with the male dragon as the hub to suppress the center..."
His thoughts gradually became clear.
Chu Feng opened his eyes, a look of determination flashing within them.
Take a risk! Turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!!
Take a gamble! Turn a motorcycle into a Land Rover!!
He no longer hesitated and took out the Materials.
Chu Feng lifted the Talisman pen, soaking it in spiritual ink.
The first stroke: the metal rune began.
The pen tip was like a blade, outlining a sharp golden female dragon in the top-left corner of the Talisman paper.
The moment the dragon's eye was dotted, the entire Talisman paper vibrated slightly, as if the sound of clashing metal rang out.
The second stroke: the water rune followed.
The pen tip turned soft, drawing a streamlined blue dragon body in the top-right corner.
Amidst the rippling water, a subtle resonance was created with the metal rune; metal generated water, and energy began to flow.
The third stroke: the wood rune emerged.
In the bottom-left corner, a lush green vine-like dragon rune wound its way out.
Water generated wood; the blue water rune branched off into trickling streams, nourishing the growth of the wood rune.
The fourth stroke: the fire rune ignited.
In the bottom-right corner, a crimson flame dragon rune roared to life.
Wood generated fire; sparks burst from the lush green wood rune, igniting the entire fire dragon.
With four strokes finished, the embryonic forms of the four female dragons were complete.
The Talisman paper began to tremble violently as the energies of the four attributes clashed and collided on the surface, making 'chi-chi' popping sounds.
Scorched marks even appeared on the edges of the Talisman paper.
This was an energy imbalance, a precursor to the Talisman's destruction!
Chu Feng's pupils constricted.
The most critical moment had arrived.
The fifth stroke.
The male dragon suppresses the center!
He bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the pen tip.
Carrying the essence blood and the final power of earth, the pen tip struck boldly toward the very center of the Talisman paper!
An earth-yellow light flashed explosively.
A majestic and heavy phantom of an Earth Dragon condensed in the center of the Talisman paper.
It extended four claws to connect respectively to the metal, water, wood, and fire female dragons.
Earth generates metal, earth overcomes water, earth nourishes wood, and earth contains fire.
With the Earth Dragon as the male, it suppressed all four directions!
"Buzz—!"
The conflict on the Talisman paper instantly subsided.
The five dragon runes each took their place; the five colors—gold, blue, green, red, and yellow—flowed incessantly, forming a perfect cycle of the Five Elements.
Energy circulated endlessly within it, round and round, with no more conflict.
The Five-Dragon Beast Spirit Talisman was complete!!!!
Chu Feng looked up, his eyes reflecting the army of Stone Golems surging toward him like a tide.
A wild smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
The Talisman was activated.
"Five Dragons, emerge!"
"Roar—!!!"
Five dragon roars resounded through heaven and earth!
The Five-Dragon Beast Spirit Talisman exploded into a sky full of light specks, from which five dragons, each fifty meters long, charged out!
The Golden Dragon had towering horns and was covered in scales with a metallic luster, each as sharp as a blade.
The Water Dragon was deep blue all over, surrounded by surging waves, leaving a trail of spreading frost wherever it went.
The Wood Dragon was lush green, its vine-like whiskers waving in the air, radiating vibrant vitality.
The Fire Dragon was crimson as blood, flames burning fiercely on its body, the heat waves scorching.
The Earth Dragon was the heaviest, its body winding like a mountain range, each step making the earth tremble.
Five dragons were massive entities spanning two hundred and fifty meters!
The moment they appeared, the entire third floor of the Trial Space seemed to tremble.
The Stone Golem army charged forward, fearless of death.
The Golden Dragon was the first to move.
It didn't breathe anything; it simply swung its tail and charged into the enemy ranks like a bolt of golden lightning.
Wherever it passed, the Stone Golems were sliced as if by countless sharp blades, instantly shattering into countless rocks.
The sharpness of metal was displayed to the fullest at this moment.
The Water Dragon followed closely behind.
It opened its dragon mouth and spat out black Earth Yin Heavy Water.
A single drop of this water weighed five tons; falling on a Stone Golem, it directly crushed and pulverized it.
Even more terrifying, the heavy water did not dissipate after landing, but turned into a muddy swamp, making it difficult for subsequent Stone Golems to move.
The Wood Dragon circled in the air.
It didn't attack directly; instead, it waved its whiskers and scattered countless green specks of light.
These light specks took root upon landing, turning into tough vines that coiled around the Stone Golems' legs and arms like spirit snakes.
The movements of the entangled Stone Golems immediately slowed, turning them into sitting ducks.
The Fire Dragon's chance had come.
It roared to the sky and spat out red-gold Earth Yang True Fire.
The temperature of these flames was terrifyingly high; the Stone Golems couldn't last three breaths before being burned into lava, which then quickly solidified into charred, glass-like matter.
And the Earth Dragon remained steadily in the center.
It did not actively attack; every time its dragon claws rose and fell, it caused the earth to quake.
The ground cracked open, swallowing Stone Golems, or suddenly rose into small hills, knocking groups of Stone Golems flying.
The cooperation of the five dragons was seamless.
Metal focused on slaughter, water on trapping, wood on control, fire on destruction, and earth on suppression.
The Five Elements rotated, generating endlessly.
One Stone Golem, shattered.
Two Stone Golems, melted.
Three Stone Golems, trapped.
Ten, a hundred, three hundred...
Slaughter.
It was a one-sided slaughter.
One thousand Stone Golems with False Core strength were like clay chickens and pottery dogs before these five Earth Rank Talisman dragons.
They couldn't even get within thirty feet of Chu Feng before falling in swaths under the rampage of the five dragons.
When the last Stone Golem turned to dust under the Golden Dragon's sharp claws, the entire third floor space fell into complete silence.
The five giant dragons circled in the air, their eyes looking down with disdain, as if announcing the birth of a king.
Chu Feng grinned like a fool.
"Congratulations, Yellow-rank True Disciple Chu Feng, for passing the third floor of the Trial Space. Would you like to proceed to the next floor?"
The familiar gentle voice rang out.
"Yes!!!"
