Chapter 411: The Dao of Water

"Hundred-fold gravity!" Meng Yifan channeled the Earth Element World Origin within his body, releasing an earthy-yellow radiance. The gravity around the Sea Demon King suddenly increased more than a hundredfold. His body sank as if he were carrying a towering mountain, and his movement speed instantly became extremely sluggish.

Meng Yifan seized the opportunity to charge forward; the Ghost Head Blade once again emitted the sound of Ghost Crying Wolf Howling, but the Sea Demon King was prepared and blew into the War Conch.

The Ghost Crying Wolf Howling sound of the Ghost Head Blade was a sonic attack mixed with a mental shock, while the Sea Demon King's War Conch also emitted a sonic attack and a mental skill that confused the mind.

The two sounds canceled each other out and annihilated within the seawater.

At the same time, Meng Yifan rushed to the Sea Demon King's side, the Ghost Head Blade flying up and down, every strike aimed at the Sea Demon King's vital points.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The Sea Demon King swung the Trident to protect his entire body, colliding continuously with the Ghost Head Blade. With every collision, the escaping energy fluctuations caused the seawater to explode, as if detonating individual bombs.

"Yin-Yang Millstone, Annihilation Execution!" Meng Yifan shouted loudly. The Yin-Yang Millstone appeared once again, enveloping the Sea Demon King's body, intending to crush him into meat paste.

The Sea Demon King repeated his old trick, mobilizing the World Power of the Water World. The surging seawater rose like a divine dragon flying into the sky, attempting to knock the Yin-Yang Millstone away.

But just at this moment, Meng Yifan cupped his hands together as if holding two worlds. As he separated his left and right hands, the cyan Wood Element Source Power and the earthy-yellow Earth Element Source Power merged into the center of the Yin-Yang Millstone.

Not only that, a wisp of breeze, a bolt of purple Lightning, and a stream of dark blue water also merged into it.

Yin, Yang, wind, Thunder, wood, earth, and water—seven energies of different attributes appeared together. Their energy intensities differed; the earth and wood energies were the strongest, being the World Power emitted by the World Source, the Yin and Yang energies were relatively weaker, and the wind, Thunder, and water energies were the weakest.

However, these seven types of energy all originated from Meng Yifan's body, sharing the same root and source, and possessed commonalities.

Using the Yin-Yang Millstone as a foundation, Meng Yifan added the other five types of energy. The seven types of energy fused together at the center point of the Yin-Yang Millstone, forming a special grayish-brown energy.

A terrifying energy fluctuation that made one's heart tremble appeared in the middle of the Yin-Yang Millstone.

"What is this energy?" The Sea Demon King trembled in fear; he felt that this energy contained the power to destroy Heaven and Earth.

Meng Yifan was covered in sweat, and both his hands were trembling violently because the seven energy attributes were different and their strengths were uneven; that grayish-brown energy was extremely unstable, like an Atomic Bomb about to explode.

Meng Yifan did not dare to hesitate; he cupped his hands together and pushed forward fiercely, smashing the Yin-Yang Millstone, which was wrapped around that grayish-brown energy, toward the Sea Demon King.

A gray light flashed out and enveloped the Sea Demon King. The Sea Demon King remained in the posture of wielding his Trident, frozen and motionless, and then, silently and without a sound, he shattered from his head to his body into grains of dust.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for hunting a Fifth Grade High Tier Sea Demon King, gaining 7000 Experience Value." The Game Panel prompt sounded again.

Following the death of the Sea Demon King, the sound of the War Conch also stopped abruptly. That group of bewitched Sea Demons recovered their true nature, no longer daring to launch attacks against a Fifth Grade powerhouse, and were so frightened that their limbs went weak and they shrank back.

The remaining few Fifth Grade Sea Demons, without the help of their underlings, were wiped out by Lang Batian and the others like dry wood snapping in a storm.

After the Sea Demon King fell, he left behind three items: the War Conch, the Trident, and the Source of the Water Element World.

The War Conch and the Trident were both High-grade Dharma Treasures. The War Conch could make soldiers forget fear and fight crazily, and that Trident was a water-element Dharma Treasure with the ability to control water currents.

These two Dharma Treasures were very useful, so Meng Yifan put them away. Immediately after, Meng Yifan merged the Source of the Water Element World into his own kidney.

In an instant, Meng Yifan seemed to turn into a drop of water, falling from the sky, merging into a small stream, flowing into great rivers, and finally flowing into the boundless sea.

Then, it evaporated into steam, drifted into the clouds, the steam merged to become water droplets, and after Lightning and Thunder, it turned into rainwater, falling from the sky, completing the cycle of a drop of water.

A drop of water is very fragile and will soon dry up under the wind and sun, but when drop after drop of water gathers together, it will exert a terrifying power capable of destroying mountains, washing away cities, and ruining Heaven and Earth.

Nothing in the world is softer or weaker than water, yet nothing can surpass it in attacking the hard and strong; to overcome the hard with the soft is the Dao of water.

The highest good is like water; water benefits all things and does not contend, dwelling in places that all people loathe, and thus it is close to the Dao.

"So that's how it is, I understand." Meng Yifan laughed. After merging with the Source of the Water Element World, his comprehension of the water-element laws progressed by leaps and bounds; looking at the surrounding seawater was like looking at his own children.

The entire Water World was cheering and leaping for joy, as if every drop of water that made up the sea was celebrating the return of their master.

"The next one is the Fire Element World Source; I expect another battle will be necessary." Meng Yifan waved his hand toward the sea. The waves surged, carrying Meng Yifan and the others away from the sea and to the shore. Further ahead was the Fire Element World, where there were undulating, continuous volcanoes.

Meng Yifan channeled his secret technique, using the Wood Element World Source to sense the location of the Fire Element World Source, then took Lang Batian and the others to fly rapidly.

Not long after, Meng Yifan arrived at a massive volcano. This volcano towered into the clouds, reaching over a thousand meters high, with a crater over a hundred meters in diameter, continuously spewing thick smoke.

Inside the volcano, scorching magma rolled continuously, and it could erupt again at any moment.

Hu Mei'er sat cross-legged, strands of fire-element Spirit Power circling around her. With her breathing, the magma rose and fell continuously, as if the volcano and Hu Mei'er had merged into one.

Hu Mei'er was the volcano, and the volcano was Hu Mei'er; the two breathed together, their fates connected.

"Eh! The Fire Element World Source is inside Hu Mei'er's body." Meng Yifan's heart stirred, and he looked at Hu Mei'er with a playful expression.

He Dongliu, worried that others would snatch his World Source, had specifically set up countermeasures. Meng Yifan had originally planned to use these countermeasures to trap others, but fearing the exposure of the Five Elements World, he had prepared to give up. He had not expected that Hu Mei'er would actually take the lead and merge with the Fire Element World Source.

This truly was: calculating everything too cleverly, only to end up ruining one's own life.

If Hu Mei'er had not merged with the Fire Element World Source, Meng Yifan would have had to expend some effort to kill her, but since she had merged with the Fire Element World Source, her life and death were now within Meng Yifan's single thought.

Hu Mei'er felt uncomfortable being watched. She walked with lotus-like steps, swaying gracefully, stepped out of the volcano, and said with a delicate, coquettish smile: "Little brother, why are you looking at me like that? Have you developed feelings of admiration for me?"

Hu Mei'er was born with a charming physique and had practiced charm techniques, making her every gesture radiate a heart-stirring allure.
