333: The Five Elements Theory!

At the center of the collision, Space was violently twisting and folding like crumpled paper, light was completely swallowed, leaving behind only a large area of indistinct, heart-palpitating darkness.

The turbulent flow of savage Laws swept in all directions; wherever it passed, Spiritual Qi was annihilated, and the Void Realm wailed.

If it weren't for the distance from the ground, and the Duan Family's Protective Clan Formation desperately holding fast, the area would have likely been reduced to dust and leveled long ago!

"Five Elements transforming into Yin and Yang?"

High above, feeling the faint trace of Yin and Yang Power generated at the center of the collision, Li Daoxuan's expression changed drastically, revealing shock and uncertainty in his eyes.

"This is... the technique of the Five Elements True Person of the Qingming Immortal Sect!"

The Five Elements True Person, a Golden Core Perfection Great True Person of the Qingming Immortal Sect, takes the Dao of Five Elements as his Foundation, intending to use this Dao to step into the Nascent Soul realm. His name is renowned throughout the Northern Region!

His method is characterized by the rotation of the Five Elements to derive the Power of the Five Elements Yin and Yang. This is a technique that touches upon the Origin of the Great Dao, and ordinary people cannot imitate it!

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan's heart suddenly sank.

This is trouble!

It was clear that the Jade Pendant Duan Tianxiong had conjured was definitely a “Law Dao Treasure” personally refined by the Five Elements True Person!

Such Treasures incorporate the refiner's own Comprehension of the Great Dao and the manifestation of their Law, serving as an extension of their "Dao Charm."

Once activated, no matter how many mountains and rivers separate them, the refiner will inevitably sense it in the ethereal realm!

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Secrets here have been disrupted and concealed by Zhuge Mingyi, so we won't be exposed immediately..."

Li Daoxuan felt slightly relieved, but his expression remained grim.

But this is by no means a long-term solution.

After all, no matter what, this is a genuine Golden Core Perfection Great True Person. Given his sensitivity to his own Dao Charm, he might not be completely shielded from the Heavenly Secrets.

The longer they delay, the greater the chance of exposure!

Having figured this out, Li Daoxuan felt slightly relieved, but his expression was still unpleasant.

What he thought would be an easy capture had unexpectedly run into such complications!

What he thought was a sure thing, an easy capture, had unexpectedly run into such complications!

The troublesome nature of this person once again refreshed his understanding.

Daring not to be complacent anymore, since this person now possessed the Five Elements True Person's Protective Dao Treasure, he couldn't take him down alone in a short time. Thus, he immediately sent a sound transmission to Zhuge Mingyi, and Li Daoxuan immediately sent a sound transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, the situation has changed. We need to combine our strength now to quickly break it!"

"That was my intention exactly!"

Zhuge Mingyi also saw the might of the five elements great millstone and knew he could no longer stand by and watch.

Immediately, he let out a cold snort, raised his hand, and conjured a Treasure.

It was a strange Compass, palm-sized, neither gold nor jade, with a surface smooth as a mirror yet hazy like mist. He named it "Heavenly Secret Shield."

It was a Heavenly Secret Magic Treasure that he had refined using massive resources. Now, as he conjured it, the Compass automatically suspended itself at the zenith, casting down misty silver-gray halos, taking his place in maintaining the concealment and interference of the Heavenly Secrets in this area.

With his hands now free, Zhuge Mingyi's expression suddenly became solemn.

He rapidly formed Incantation Seals in front of his chest, his finger shadows flying as he created one complex and profound Incantation Seal after another.

Silver light burst forth from his eyes, like two bright lamps dispelling the surrounding miasma, as he chanted an obscure Spell.

"Heavenly Secrets are obscure, Destiny is manifest, by Imperial Decree, execute immediately!"

"Decree!"

As the last word fell, he pointed his conjoined fingers like a sword, aiming a distant strike at the five elements great millstone struggling against the Sky-covering Palm below!

Buzz!

In the Void Realm, there was no earth-shattering roar, but a subtle profoundness was quietly changing.

In Zhuge Mingyi's "Vision," countless fine threads representing the Heavenly Count were extending from the five elements great millstone, connecting to the heavens and earth in all directions.

At this moment, as his Spell was cast, an invisible force spread out like a plucked string, slamming violently into these threads!

Instantly, the Fixed Count, which represented one aspect of the Heavenly Count, was forcibly stripped away.

Simultaneously, the gray-black Calamity Qi of the Variable Count began to spread and grow, frantically winding around the five elements great millstone.

All of this happened silently, invisible to the naked eye, but the effect was immediate!

The stripping and weakening of the Fixed Count and the strengthening of the Variable Count meant that the established reality was being negated.

The profoundness of the five elements great millstone, which should have been advancing unimpeded, was reduced by thirty percent out of thin air, causing great loss of power.

At the same time, Li Daoxuan also held nothing back, displaying the Heavenly and Earthly Laws he had comprehended, without any disguise, for the first time in front of an outsider!

His Law Foundation was "Earth Element," or more precisely, the Dao of Thick Earth, which focuses on the aspects of "bearing," "heaviness," and "suppression."

This Dao was originally quite powerful, but when facing the all-encompassing and mutually generating/restraining Dao of Five Elements, especially since the opponent had manifested a trace of the "Yin and Yang Embryo," it appeared somewhat "unsatisfactory," and was even faintly suppressed.

For this reason, Li Daoxuan cleverly integrated his comprehension of the "Space" Law into the Dao of Thick Earth!

Using the boundless gravity and suppression characteristic of Thick Earth as the base, supplemented by the sealing and delaying characteristic of Space, he created a composite Law application unique to himself.

Although a brand new complete Law had not yet formed, its might already far surpassed the single Thick Earth Law!

"Thick Earth Bears All Things, Solidifying the Void into a Prison! Suppress!"

Li Daoxuan roared, pressed his hands down virtually, and the Golden Core Perfection within his body spun wildly, pushing the surging Magical Power and Law Power to the extreme!

In an instant, the Sky-covering Giant Hand, which had been slightly dimmed by the confrontation with the Five Elements Millstone, suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance once again!

The Sky-covering Giant Hand became more solidified and heavy, its palm lines like ravines and mountains, as if it were no longer a Magical Power phantom, but a solid entity truly compressed and condensed from billions of jun of Xirang Divine Earth!

More frighteningly, the Void Realm around the giant hand instantly became sticky and solidified, as if it had been plunged into a boundless mire!

Simultaneously, coupled with Zhuge Mingyi's Karma Numerology, it was like a bone-sticking ulcer, continuously weakening and interfering with the state of the Five Elements Millstone, causing the gigantic millstone, which originally flowed with Five Elements brilliance, to slow down drastically at a visible speed!

The blurry Taiji Yin and Yang Fish pattern that had just manifested on the edge of the millstone shook violently, its light flickering erratically, as if it might collapse at any moment!

For a time, high above the sky, brilliant lights clashed fiercely, and the humming of Law collisions intertwined with the whistling of Energy annihilation, forming a symphony of destruction.

The terrifying fluctuations could make Cultivators at the Golden Core stage and below tremble with fear, even a hundred miles away.

Although the five elements great millstone was miraculously profound, having even derived a trace of the Yin and Yang Embryo that touched upon the Origin, it was ultimately "water without a source, wood without roots," relying entirely on a sealed Law Power and Energy within the Jade Pendant for support, lacking the endless, adaptable control of a true Golden Core Perfection Cultivator.

Under the combined suppression of Li Daoxuan and Zhuge Mingyi, the light of the five elements great millstone quickly dimmed, and its operation nearly stagnated.
