Chapter 492: Breaking the Situation

Seeing this scene, Xuan Yuan Zhi, who was fighting with the eight clan heads, was splitting his eyes.

The Fifth Prince was the number one genius of the Xuan Yuan Imperial Family and the successor to the next emperor. The Fifth Prince died here. He not only had no merit this time but also had faults. He simply couldn't explain to the Xuan Yuan Emperor.

"You are courting death!"

Xuan Yuan Zhi had scarlet eyes. At this moment, he didn't care about the rules that Gu Kings couldn't attack juniors. After shaking one person away, he flew toward Long Xuan like crazy.

"Hehe! Where are you running! The dignified number one powerhouse of the Xuan Yuan Empire actually wants to attack a junior. Do you still want this old face?"

The Jiang Clan head blocked in front of him in time and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... Did the Fifth Prince die? Died well, died wonderfully! The Fifth Prince died in your hands. Now let's see how you explain it when you go back."

Seeing the Fifth Prince beheaded, the Han Clan head felt great in his heart and laughed loudly.

"You are courting death! All die!"

Xuan Yuan Zhi was so angry that he lost his reason. The offensive increased by three points again. The Xuan Yuan Zhi in a crazy state made it difficult for the eight clan heads to handle for a time.

Although they had eight people, they were weakened in strength under the influence of the Xuan Yuan Great Array, so how could they be Xuan Yuan Zhi's opponents?

If Xuan Yuan Zhi didn't have the confidence to defeat them, he wouldn't have boasted about challenging the eight of them alone.

The furious Xuan Yuan Zhi soon opened a gap, but he seemed to have regained his reason at this time and didn't rush out of the encirclement to attack Long Xuan. Instead, he released a clone. After the clone rushed out of the encirclement, it immediately killed toward Long Xuan.

His main body stayed behind to continue dealing with the siege of the eight clan heads. Perhaps in his opinion, dealing with a Spirit Sea stage junior didn't need him to take action personally at all.

"Damn!"

Seeing Xuan Yuan Zhi's clone suddenly flying toward him, Long Xuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but curse. He was completely uneasy at this time.

This was a clone of a Gu King peak powerhouse. How could he contend with it now?

"Why did killing a random person attract a Gu King peak powerhouse!" Long Xuan cursed secretly in his heart.

At this time, he didn't have time to think carefully. Subconsciously, he took out Little White from the insect breeding bag, used Little White's slowing domain to limit this Gu King peak powerhouse's speed, and used Little White's acceleration domain to increase his own speed, running away at the fastest speed.

Running was the only thing he could do at present. The opponent was a Gu King peak powerhouse. He couldn't fight hard.

Seeing that his speed suddenly dropped significantly, Xuan Yuan Zhi couldn't help but be stunned.

Most Gu insects' abilities had no effect on those of higher realms. This Gu insect's ability could actually affect himself across realms, which truly startled him.

Immediately, a greedy look appeared in his eyes. This kind of ability that could significantly limit the opponent's speed was simply a divine skill in his opinion.

In the world, only speed is invincible. If the speed is not enough, you can only be slaughtered by the opponent and don't even think about touching a hair of the opponent. He knew the importance of speed too well.

At this time, he already had no small interest in the Gu formula of this kind of Gu insect and developed the intention to snatch it.

"Boy, your Gu insect can not only slow down the enemy but also accelerate yourself. With this increase and decrease, most Gu Kings really can't catch up with you!"

"It's a pity that you are unlucky and ran into me. I, Xuan Yuan Zhi, am best at speed. It's your bad luck to run into me today!"

Xuan Yuan Zhi sneered. Suddenly, a pair of thunder wings grew behind his back. Driven by the thunder wings, he broke through heavy obstacles and chased toward Long Xuan's back at an extremely fast speed. The distance between the two kept narrowing.

Long Xuan looked back, frowned, and felt anxious in his heart. He didn't expect this Xuan Yuan Zhi to be a speed-type Gu King. Then there would be big trouble today.

Once this Gu King peak powerhouse could catch up with him, then what was placed in front of him was a dead end.

He looked at the Hundred Li Talisman in his hand, showing a hesitant look.

As long as he tore up the Hundred Li Talisman, he could certainly run away, but the opportunities in the Cang Yue Imperial Tomb would have nothing to do with him. How could he be willing?

Unless it was a last resort, he really didn't want to waste this Hundred Li Talisman, and even less wanted to miss the opportunities in the Cang Yue Imperial Tomb.

Did he want to use the Life and Death Gate again? A terrifying idea appeared in his heart. He soon shook his head and gave up this crazy idea.

Once the Life and Death Gate was used, he would be seriously injured. Even if he could injure Xuan Yuan Zhi, so what? Half-crippled, he couldn't deal with the dangers in the Cang Yue Imperial Tomb. In this way, he might as well just use the Hundred Li Talisman to run away.

Seeing Xuan Yuan Zhi's ferocious face getting closer and closer to him, Long Xuan's expression became more and more calm.

At this time, he had another bold idea in his heart. This idea could absolutely break the situation, but it was truly too dangerous to realize, making him hesitate for a while.

The idea he suddenly had was a brain hole from a past life novel. Although opposite attributes repel each other, it doesn't mean they can't be fused together.

Such as water and fire, light and dark, earth and wind, these attributes are very difficult to coexist, but if they are fused together, they will produce infinite destructive power.

Opposite attributes are not unable to coexist, because the power produced when fused together is truly too massive, and the difficulty of fusing them is extremely great. This kind of power is very difficult for humans to control.

Then here came his brain hole. Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water are opposite. If Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water are fused together, what will happen? As soon as this idea appeared, he couldn't stop it, couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and even he was frightened by the thing he suddenly thought of, his face turning pale.

If he really made such a thing, would he blow himself to death? Undoubtedly, this is a forbidden technique, and it is quite dangerous to cast.

But looking at the ferocious face behind him getting closer and closer, Long Xuan's eyes began to become more and more crazy, and devilish thoughts couldn't stop arising.

"Damn! At a critical moment, how can I care about so much!"

Long Xuan gritted his teeth, finally released the devil in his heart, and threw the Hundred Li Talisman in his hand into his mouth. If the experiment failed, he was prepared to bite the Hundred Li Talisman immediately and run away directly. He would absolutely not have any ideas about the treasures in the Cang Yue Imperial Tomb anymore.

He wasn't sure if his idea could really be realized in this world, nor was he sure if he had the

He was not sure if his idea could truly be realized in this world, nor was he sure if he would have the ability to execute it even if it were theoretically feasible. The Hundred-Li Talisman in his mouth was his fallback plan in case his experiment failed.

Long Xuan's gaze hardened, and he finally ceased his hesitation. A violent flame suddenly surged on his right hand, while a spray of water suddenly surged on his left, releasing energy that made one's heart palpitate.

He let out a long breath and slowly brought the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water closer together.

"Heavenly Fire! Heavenly Water! You actually possess both Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water at the same time! How is this possible?"

Seeing him release both Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water simultaneously, Xuan Yuan Zhi's pupils instantly constricted, and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

Whether it was Heavenly Fire or Heavenly Water, both were rare treasures in the Gu World; most people would struggle to see even one of them in their entire lives.

Heavenly Fires cannot coexist with other Heavenly Fires; apart from the Fen Tian Old Ancestor, no one could subdue two types of Heavenly Fire at once. If Heavenly Fires were already so repellent to one another, it was even more impossible for the naturally opposing Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water to coexist. Forcing them to be stored in the same body would be even more difficult and dangerous.

That this person actually possessed both Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water within his body left him greatly astonished.

Before he could even be greedy for these two things, upon seeing this youth slowly bring his hands together, intending to fuse the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water, he was suddenly struck with horror, and his entire body could not help but tremble.

"Damn it! What are you doing? Can those things be fused together?! Stop right now!"

"You're crazy! Crazy! You are truly fucking insane!"

Seeing this insane act, Xuan Yuan Zhi was so frightened that he cursed loudly, his face turning pale.

There was no need to think; once Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water fused, regardless of success or failure, it would inevitably generate infinite destructive power.

He could not even guarantee that he had the confidence to withstand such destructive power.

Seeing the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water constantly drawing closer in the youth's hands and beginning to fluctuate violently, with the energy becoming extremely unstable, he gritted his teeth and increased his speed by another thirty percent, determined to stop him at all costs.

The surroundings here were all shrouded by the Xuanyuan Great Formation, and the space was simply too cramped; once this thing exploded, everyone here would be caught in the blast.

Their Xuanyuan Imperial Family had sent ten thousand elites inside; once those ten thousand elites suffered heavy losses due to the explosion of this thing, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family would be severely crippled. This would trigger a series of chain reactions, the consequences of which were simply unimaginable, and he, as the leader, would have no face to see the Xuanyuan Emperor again.

He was completely desperate now, his face twisted as he pursued forward at all costs.

At this moment, Long Xuan in front revealed a madman's smile, his expression growing increasingly insane.

At the very instant the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water were about to collide, he actually saw the progress.

What did this mean? It meant that his wild idea could be realized in this world; Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water could truly be fused together in this world.

But Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water were both synonyms for destruction, possessing heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power. One could imagine how difficult it would be to fuse these two heaven-defying objects.

It would normally be very difficult for anyone to successfully fuse Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water on the first try, but once progress appeared in this process, it became much easier.

Once the progress disappeared, it meant he had made an operational error, allowing him to adjust in time. He could test the energy ratio of the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water at an extremely fast speed.

By "cheating," Long Xuan truly had a chance to successfully fuse Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water on his first attempt.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water finally collided, emitting a muffled sound like thunder. Instantly, his hands began to tear open, and blood flowed everywhere.

The power of the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water was simply too immense; they seemed to see a natural enemy in each other and began to uncontrollably release their power wildly. The auras of the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water began to climb steadily, as if competing for supremacy.

The energy fluctuations of the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water became increasingly heart-palpitating and chaotic, beginning to head toward the edge of losing control, as if they could trigger an uncontrollable disaster at any moment.

Under this terrifying power, even Long Xuan, with his astonishing defensive capabilities, could not withstand it, and his hands instantly collapsed.

Enduring the excruciating pain in his hands and gritting his teeth, Long Xuan used the progress prompts to force the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water toward fusion at all costs.

Not long after, the space around him began to distort.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Yuan Zhi's face turned pale, and his eyes slowly revealed terror.

Under this youth's control, the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water were actually slowly fusing together, and the powerful force generated was capable of distorting space. His heart was stirred with stormy waves; he simply could not believe his eyes. He dared not imagine what kind of destructive power this thing would produce once it exploded.

"You lunatic! Stop right now!" he roared angrily.

"Throw that thing away, it's going to explode!" In the distance, Qin Mingyue shouted anxiously, her face pale.

"Hahaha... Wonderful! I never expected that Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water could truly fuse together; the product of the fusion is simply a work of art!" Long Xuan laughed crazily, like a madman who had lost his reason, no longer listening to a word the two said.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his hands, he used all his strength to suppress the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water, which were already on the verge of losing control.

Finally, the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water fused completely, slowly forming a purple energy ball that released heart-palpitating power.

Under the continuous infusion of power from the Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water, this purple energy ball was growing larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The energy of the purple energy ball became increasingly unstable, as if it could lose control at any moment. Long Xuan felt as if he were holding a bomb ready to detonate at any time, which made his face turn pale; even this madman finally knew fear.

"Did I succeed? The power generated by the fusion of Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water can actually distort space. In that case, I shall name this move the Distortion Jade!"

Long Xuan revealed a mad smile. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, a look of pain appearing on his face; clearly, the price he needed to pay to create such a terrifying thing was equally significant.

At this moment, the Distortion Jade in his hand had expanded to the size of a millstone, and he could no longer suppress the power that was about to lose control.

A Distortion Jade of this size was already at the limit of its volume and was nearing the edge of losing control; if it grew any larger, it would soon detonate in his hands.

Everyone had turned their gaze toward this side, toward the millstone-sized energy body, their eyes filled with fear. In many places, fighting had even stopped.

Xuan Yuan Zhi's face was terrifyingly pale, his lips trembling, and his eyes revealed an expression of dread.

He understood that this youth had truly, heaven-defyingly, succeeded in fusing Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water. This was an unprecedented feat; heaven knows how great the destructive power of this thing would be. At this moment, it was no longer possible for him to stop it.

"Young friend! I will let you leave, just disperse that terrifying thing in your hand!" Xuan Yuan Zhi shouted anxiously, his face pale.

However, this thing was not something Long Xuan could disperse just because he wanted to. At this moment, the Distortion Jade had completely lost control in his hands; even if he wanted to stop, he was powerless to do so.

Sensing that the Distortion Jade was about to explode, Long Xuan was instantly scared out of his wits. With no time to think, he turned and threw the millstone-sized Distortion Jade behind him.

The Distortion Jade traced a beautiful arc, heading straight for Xuan Yuan Zhi behind him.

At this moment, the space suddenly went quiet, and even the sound of the wind disappeared.

A heart-palpitating power spread through the space.

Xuan Yuan Zhi's face was pale, and at this moment, even the hairs on his body stood on end.

He had pursued too recklessly; the distance between them was now very close, and this distance was no longer enough for him to avoid the wide-range explosion damage.

"You lunatic! Once this thing explodes, don't think you'll survive either!"

Xuan Yuan Zhi stared fixedly at Long Xuan, roaring in exasperation. With no time to think, he subconsciously crossed his arms to protect his head.

"Die!"

Long Xuan shouted, finally detonating the Distortion Jade. At the same time, he bit down on the Hundred-Li Talisman in his mouth.

He was not sure how great the power generated by the Distortion Jade's explosion would be, nor was he confident that he could definitely withstand the impact of the Destruction Jade.

For the sake of his own life, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to abandon the treasures in the Cangyue Imperial Tomb and abandon the Heavenly Spirit Tree in the Cangyue Imperial Tomb.

As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. He decided to drop a bomb here and leave.

However, accidents are everywhere. The moment he bit down on the Hundred-Li Talisman, he discovered that he was still in the same place. He was stunned, and as if thinking of something, his face changed drastically.

It was only then that he remembered that anything capable of interfering with space could render the Hundred-Li Talisman ineffective.

The reason he named this move the Distortion Jade was because this move could distort space.

At this moment, the surrounding space had already been distorted; under such circumstances, it was impossible to teleport away using the Hundred-Li Talisman.

"Damn it! We're in big trouble!"

"Boom!"

The next moment, the Distortion Jade detonated in space, emitting a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar.

Under this loud noise, Long Xuan only felt his ears go deaf, and a bright light appeared before his eyes, causing him to lose his vision completely. He roared, "Water Bear Gu! Hold on for me!"

The next moment, the Water Bear Gu's ability operated to the limit within his body, and the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor on his body surface flashed with brilliant luster, constantly resisting the damage from the Distortion Jade.

"Pfft!"

Long Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his soul armor shattered instantly under the impact of the explosion.

The terrifying power ravaged his body without mercy.

Under the impact of the explosion, his entire body was sent flying horizontally.

Fortunately, his body had undergone Heavenly Fire tempering, and his physical strength was already superhuman. Coupled with the Water Bear Gu's immortal power, although he was severely injured in an instant, he was not instantly blown into fragments by the Distortion Jade.

He was lucky, but others were not so fortunate.

The one closest to him was Xuan Yuan Zhi, and the one who bore the brunt of the damage was also Xuan Yuan Zhi.

Under Long Xuan's control, the explosion direction of the Distortion Jade was toward the rear; he only bore a small portion of the overflowing power.

However, even if he only bore a small portion of the Distortion Jade's power, he was already half-crippled. What would be the fate of Xuan Yuan Zhi, who bore the full force of the explosion?

Xuan Yuan Zhi let out a sharp scream, and his entire body was soon evaporated under the impact of the explosion, leaving not even ashes behind.

However, what had pursued him was only Xuan Yuan Zhi's clone; Xuan Yuan Zhi's true body was further away from the center of the explosion, and the power of the explosion had greatly diminished by the time it reached him.

But even so, at this moment, he and the eight family heads who were besieging him all spat out mouthfuls of blood, sent flying horizontally under the impact of the explosion, and were severely injured in an instant.

If this group of the strongest was in such a state despite being so far from the center of the explosion, the small fries with lower realms in the surroundings went without saying.

At this moment, everyone within the Xuanyuan Great Formation, regardless of distance, was subjected to the crazy impact of the Distortion Jade. The terrifying power swept across the heavens and earth, the earth shook, and one could not count how many people within the formation were blown into nothingness in an instant.

Those further away simply spat out mouthfuls of blood and were sent flying, crashing heavily into the barrier.

The barrier flashed crazily under the impact of the explosion, constantly distorting, and in an instant, it was covered in cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.

But in the end, the Xuanyuan Great Formation was superior, forcibly blocking the impact of the Distortion Jade.

The energy within the formation gradually stabilized. After the smoke cleared, one could see that the earth had been blown into a huge circular pit, and one could not tell how many layers of topsoil had been stripped away.

Whether it was the ten-thousand-strong army of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family or the Gu cultivators of the various families, all suffered heavy losses under this explosion; less than twenty percent survived, and the entire scene was filled with wailing.

Long Xuan climbed up from the ground in a sorry state. Ignoring his own injuries, he quickly looked around. Seeing that the surrounding barrier, despite being covered in cracks, had ultimately not been shattered, his heart sank.

"Damn it, a barrier capable of trapping all the Gu Kings inside is indeed not so easy to break."

Long Xuan cursed inwardly, feeling extremely disappointed. Now that the barrier had not been broken and the Hundred-Li Talisman had been used up, the situation was very unfavorable for him; his most relied-upon trump card was gone.

Breaking the barrier to escape was obviously impossible. Not to mention whether he still had the ability to break the barrier, even if he could, he would not be able to shake off the pursuit of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's Gu Kings in his current severely injured state.

Having accidentally wiped out so many powerhouses of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family probably hated him to the bone; this matter could absolutely not end well.

So, there was only one path left before him. Long Xuan turned his gaze toward the few remaining tomb-robbing tunnels; his only way out now was to go down into the tomb.

Under the recent explosion, although most of the tomb-robbing tunnels had collapsed, there were finally a few that could be used.

Based on his recent perception, the barrier protecting the core area below had already disappeared; clearly, it had been broken by Di Xin.

Her breaking the core area formation was timely. The dangers in the core area of the tomb had not yet been swept away. As long as he rushed inside, given the level of danger in the Cangyue Imperial Tomb, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family would have to weigh their options if they wanted to continue pursuing him.

If they wanted to send a large army inside, Long Xuan dared to say that no matter how many went in, not many would be able to come out alive.

Having made his decision, Long Xuan did not hesitate and jumped into one of the tomb-robbing tunnels at top speed, disappearing from sight.

Qin Mingyue, with a pale face, followed closely behind, jumping into the same tomb-robbing tunnel and disappearing.

In this explosion, she was one of the few Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators who had not been killed.

She had been standing behind Long Xuan just now, and at a relatively far distance, so the explosion power she bore was much weaker.

Even because she had Long Xuan as a human shield, her injuries were actually much lighter than Long Xuan's.

At this moment, everyone was stunned by this sudden explosion. Both sides stopped the chaotic battle. After the surviving Gu cultivators of the various families came to their senses, they climbed up in a sorry state, their eyes filled with shock.

At this moment, they had no time to be shocked. Realizing their current situation, their hearts sank. After quickly thinking of a countermeasure, they all ultimately made the same decision as Long Xuan, choosing a tomb-robbing tunnel to jump into and disappear.

Clearly, they had also noticed that the barrier in the core area of the Cangyue Imperial Tomb had been opened.

In this way, running underground was no longer a dead end. The Cangyue Imperial Tomb was dangerous to the extreme; in this dangerous place, no matter how many people the Xuanyuan Imperial Family had, they would not be able to let go and pursue them. (End of chapter)
