Chapter 668: Five-Phase Dragon-Elephant Formation

Deep within a lightless, sunless dark cavern.

The heaven and earth energy here took on a formless, disordered shape—wind, earth, water, and fire surged at will. At times boundless fire swept across the horizon, yet in the blink of an eye that boundless fire would transform into a sea of energy that thundered across the void, as if chaos had yet to be split apart.

Wind and lightning flickered, like coiling giant beasts, ravaging the void on all sides.

Within the chaotic void, a massive rift split two worlds apart.

On the outer side of the rift, a golden lotus drifted unsteadily amid the turbulent, chaotic heaven and earth energy. Upon the golden lotus, a human figure sat cross-legged in stillness. That figure radiated a presence as deep as a pool and as steady as a mountain, giving off an indescribable sense of oppressive might. He merely sat there, yet seemed to stand above heaven and earth itself.

This person was none other than the dean of Shengxuan Star Academy, Pang Pang Qianyuan.

At this moment, his indifferent gaze was fixed on the depths of that massive rift. There, a black river could be seen coiling like a black dragon with no visible end, so black it was extreme. The unsettling black river water flowed ceaselessly, and occasionally waves would rise. Within those waves, countless grotesque and twisted human faces could actually be seen—those faces brimming with every kind of negative emotion: greed, desire, rage, hatred...

Enough to make one look on with dread.

Splash, splash.

As if the black river formed from countless evil thoughts had suddenly begun to churn violently at this moment, a colossal black fish could be seen stirring up a storm. The black fish radiated an extremely bizarre emotion. On every single scale of its body, a twisted, agonized human face was actually engraved. Those faces seemed to be letting out despairing shrieks—the mere sight of them was enough to twist the sanity of any normal person.

Hee hee.

A childish, innocent giggle, like that of a young boy, came from the black fish's mouth, piercing through the rift between the two worlds and reaching Pang Pang Qianyuan's ears. That giggle contained a special power; under its influence, even a marquis-ranked expert would be seduced, lose their sense of self, and be briefly controlled.

But Pang Pang Qianyuan's expression remained indifferent, unmoved. He simply quietly sensed the flow of energy within this chaotic heaven and earth.

He was waiting for an opportunity.

And this opportunity, he had been preparing for it for many years.

The passage of time seemed to last an eternity, yet also a single instant.

But Pang Pang Qianyuan's gaze shifted slightly at this moment, because he sensed that within the chaotic, disordered heaven and earth, the energy had begun to show a certain flow. Thus, a strange light flashed through his pupils.

Pop!

At the very same instant, it was as if a peculiar ripple had sounded within this chaotic heaven and earth. The moment this ripple sounded, the originally disordered and chaotic heaven and earth energy actually began to stagnate, and then chaos seemed to be re-planned. The heaven and earth energy began to acquire rules.

Pang Pang Qianyuan rose from the golden lotus, then swept his wide sleeve.

As his sleeve swept down, the four directions of heaven and earth seemed to tremble violently at this moment. Wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth rose from the void on all sides. These vast five streams of heaven and earth energy condensed into form, gradually transforming into dragon-elephant silhouettes with no visible end, coiled within the void. A terrifying oppressive might enveloped this realm of heaven and earth.

"Cleave chaos, Five-Phase Dragon-Elephant Formation!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan's faint voice rang out. At the same time, from within the bodies of those five colossal energy dragon-elephants, ancient, mottled chains seemed to extend, crossing each other, as if sealing off this entire realm of heaven and earth.

The originally disordered chaos, at this moment, seemed to be cleaved anew, and all its rules manifested once more.

Deep within the void rift, from the evil-thought black river, the colossal black fish gently swayed its massive tail, raising great waves. An ethereal, eerie laughter rang out: "Pang Pang Qianyuan, you do have some tricks, don't you. So this is what you've been preparing all these years—attempting to temporarily cleave the disorderly chaos here, then use this strange formation to repair this void rift?"

"But how could it be that easy? Do you truly take this sovereign for a pushover?"

The Fish Chi King laughed, then across the void rift, it opened its abyssal maw. The next moment, viscous black water could be seen gushing forth. The black water radiated overwhelming evil thoughts—a single drop of it would be enough to instantly transform even a Da Tian Xiang Jing expert into an evil-thought puppet.

This black water pierced through the void rift, and at the instant of passing through, a black human hand actually extended out from within the black water. However, this hand was somewhat bizarre—it had eight fingers, the skin of its palm was unusually mottled, and eerie runes would surface from time to time. Viscous black liquid constantly dripped from its pores, like the hand of an underworld god.

The moment the eight-fingered black hand appeared, it caused the void to collapse, and it struck directly at the Five-Phase Dragon-Elephant Formation that Pang Pang Qianyuan had deployed, clearly intending to destroy it.

Seeing this, Pang Pang Qianyuan unhurriedly tossed an object from his sleeve. It was a somewhat ancient Holy Grail, and by its appearance, it was clearly the Dragon Bone Holy Grail that Li Luo and the others had obtained from the Holy Grail War.

The Holy Grail transformed into a streak of profound light that pierced the sky, and with a shake of its form, it swelled against the wind, as if becoming a towering mountain peak.

Then the Holy Grail bloomed with hundreds of millions of streaks of profound light that descended slowly to suppress. Each streak of profound light seemed to radiate a special suppressive force. Where the profound light swept, intense black smoke immediately rose from the eight-fingered black hand, and within it, a piercing shriek seemed to ring out.

Under the Holy Grail's suppression, the eight-fingered black hand instantly shattered.

"Dragon Bone Holy Grail?!"

From within the black river came the Fish Chi King's cold voice: "No wonder you dared to set up a grand formation in front of me this time—so you had this thing!"

This Dragon Bone Holy Grail had a special suppressive effect on creatures like them. No wonder Pang Pang Qianyuan was so confident this time.

Pang Pang Qianyuan's face remained indifferent, and he paid no heed to the Fish Chi King. He simply stared at the grand formation taking shape. This strange formation was what he had deduced here over these years. This place lay at the intersection of two worlds, where the heaven and earth energy was originally in a disordered, chaotic state, which made many of his methods difficult to employ. This time, by using this formation, he had temporarily cleaved the chaos, so as to repair and suppress the void rift, and thoroughly resolve the crisis of this dark cavern.

He stared at the ancient dragon-elephant silhouettes positioned in the four directions, then his gaze shifted to the center of the strange formation. There, a colossal dragon silhouette also existed—this was the central hub of the grand formation.

And at this moment, as those ancient dragon-elephant silhouettes pushed forward, it seemed as if an indescribable great power descended, and that void rift, under the push of this great power, actually began to tremble gradually, as if it was about to be moved.

However, although the void rift was trembling, it still continued to resist the pushing force from those ancient dragon-elephants.

"Even after deducing for so many years, it's still somewhat insufficient. It seems pushing the void rift is truly no simple matter." Pang Pang Qianyuan saw this scene, his gaze flickered slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"Hee, Pang Pang Qianyuan, you really are overestimating yourself, to actually fantasize about forcibly healing the void rift!" From the depths of the rift, within the evil-thought black river, the Fish Chi King spoke with chilling coldness.

Pang Pang Qianyuan cast an indifferent glance, yet still paid no heed. Although the strange formation he had deduced had not achieved the effect he had imagined, this was not entirely unexpected—after all, to accomplish such a thing, without more contingencies, how would he dare to act rashly?

At this thought, he gave a light beckoning gesture toward the Dragon Bone Holy Grail, which had become as massive as a towering mountain peak. The next moment, some essence blood could be seen shooting out from within, drop by drop, suspended before Pang Pang Qianyuan.

These drops of essence blood were round and crystalline. Others might not see anything remarkable about them, but in the eyes of an expert like Pang Pang Qianyuan, he could perceive the trace of special bloodline contained in the deepest part of these essence blood drops.

These essence blood drops were precisely from Li Luo.

"Heaven Dragon Qi..."

Pang Pang Qianyuan gazed at these essence blood drops and smiled slightly. He slowly brought his hands together, and vast energy surged between his palms, as if forming a furnace. Those essence blood drops tumbled wildly within the furnace, rapidly dissolving, until finally several strands of golden-yellow aura, nearly invisible to the naked eye, remained.

This golden-yellow aura was precisely Pang Pang Qianyuan's objective.

By infusing this Heaven Dragon Qi into the Five-Phase Dragon-Elephants, they would be able to possess the power to shake the heavens for a period of time. With the augmentation of Heaven Dragon power, healing the void rift should be well within grasp.

Pang Pang Qianyuan flicked his fingers, and these strands of Heaven Dragon Qi shot forth, swiftly merging into the bodies of those colossal ancient dragon-elephants. Instantly, the dragon-elephants seemed to receive some kind of augmentation—already massive bodies swelled once more, and even their roars carried a touch of an inexplicable sacred oppressive might.

Boom, boom!

The ancient dragon-elephants charged forth, like trackers hauling a barge—except what they were hauling was this entire realm of chaotic heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth trembled, and this time, the void rift finally was no longer unmoved. Accompanying the strenuous charging of those ancient dragon-elephants one by one, the colossal rift, amid violent trembling, was finally slowly pulled.

Seeing this scene, Pang Pang Qianyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Years of preparation had finally been set in motion at this moment.

As long as he repaired this void rift, the dark cavern suppressed by Shengxuan Star Academy would have its crisis permanently eliminated.

The trembling of the void rift sent energy tides continuously spreading outward. Even the evil-thought black river on the opposite side was stirred into towering waves. A colossal black fish hid beneath the black water, its pair of unsettling, pale-white fish eyes coldly watching through the black water, silently observing this scene.
