Chapter 284

A nine-leaf herb appeared in empty space, suddenly spun, and all the golden bees were sliced into dense Geng Metal Qi, completely absorbed by Fang Yu.

The Grass Character Sword Art and the Bai Di Jin Huang Slash were both rapidly increasing in power.

A single blade of grass and a point of Bai Guang emitted blinding, dazzling light in empty space—ordinary people who looked at this light would have their eyes stab with blood and be blinded.

Often, as soon as they moved, hundreds or thousands of divine bees died instantly. As these divine bees were continuously slashed, the speed of Bai Guang grew ever faster; with a mere thought, the divine bees were reduced to dust!

This was extremely terrifying.

Fang Yu felt that his current Bai Di Jin Huang Slash was so fast and powerful it could rival a supreme-grade treasure-level flying sword—even beings one or two realms above him might, if careless, have their physical bodies shattered by his Bai Di Jin Huang Slash.

His current strength had improved far, far more than when he first entered.

Of course, Fang Yu now also felt exhaustion—the fatigue of constantly draining magic power.

He casually swallowed some magic crystal stones and Nascent Soul pills, and his expression improved somewhat.

The Five Elements Realm was indeed dangerous, offering no room for rest, and the beasts here often moved in packs, leaving no time to catch breath.

While Fang Yu rested in empty space, his spiritual sense detected underground creatures stealthily approaching—these were water-type beasts, slithering along subterranean rivers to launch a surprise attack on Fang Yu.

"Die!"

Fang Yu secretly applied the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, penetrating downward and reducing those water monsters to nothing but Gui Water essence.

Some beasts moved faster, bursting from the ground, transforming into strange fish that lunged at the Five Prison King Cauldron, biting at it; some of these fish spat water arrows, while others opened their mouths and shot out massive water balls.

These large water bombs were not ordinary—they were water bombs condensed from Gui Water Qi, capable of shattering Daoist Gang Qi.

But when they exploded against the Five Prison King Cauldron, they only caused it to wobble slightly, after which dense water qi surged from within the cauldron, crushing the water fish.

Water subdues water.

The Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist was utterly invincible.

If it were the Yuhua Sect's water supreme technique, the Ten Thousand Water Divine Art, it was uncertain which would dominate the other.

Plop.

By now, Fang Yu began precisely calculating the optimal force needed to kill each water monster—his power was perfectly calibrated; he slew the water monsters until, after three more hours, the last one fell.

The Black Emperor Water Emperor Gang Qi flowed within Fang Yu, emitting the distinctive sound of water—like a waterfall cascading from a ten-thousand-zhang peak, like great rivers and streams flowing ceaselessly, or as if transforming into misty, drizzling rain.

The form of the Black Emperor Water Emperor solidified, surrounded by countless water-type divine beasts—phantoms of water apes, Xuanwu—all bowing before the Black Emperor Water Emperor; countless mysteries emerged from its form, as if evolving into numerous supreme techniques.

This was the transformation of the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist—the great array, having absorbed numerous water-type beasts, had evolved endlessly.

"I haven't experienced such a battle in a long time."

With his current magic power, Fang Yu already felt strained.

Since beginning his cultivation, he had never fought continuously for so long.

Of course, this wasn't entirely bad—it could temper one's will—but magic power usage must be meticulously calculated.

"More monsters are coming."

After a brief rest, distant horizons erupted with rising and falling sounds as countless figures surged forward—each figure stood five to six zhang tall, their bodies marked with wooden textures.

They were wood giants.

Tens of thousands—forming a vast army.

Each wooden giant wielded wood-type weapons—wooden axes, spears, swords—eyes glowing green, cruel and violent, lunging at Fang Yu like flies spotting blood.

Among them, the leading general stood ten zhang tall, wielding a wooden blade as sturdy as a treasure-grade weapon; upon seeing Fang Yu, he slashed down with a mighty roar.

"Slashing General Sword Art!"

These wood giants had somehow learned martial arts—had they appeared in the mortal world, they could have founded a Kaishan Sect and become Grand Masters.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

But Fang Yu felt no panic—he had trained the fire technique longest; in the Shrouding Heaven Realm, he had already perfected the supreme technique Wu Zhen True Fire, and after cultivating the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, it had only reached minor accomplishment—but this did not diminish the power of his fire techniques.

Fire subdues wood.

A massive fire hand shot out, and as it passed, the leader of the attacking wood giant was crushed to dust, all his Yuan Qi absorbed by Fang Yu.

The wood giant leader could not withstand even one strike from Fang Yu!

After slaying the giant leader, the fire hand continued forward, engulfing every wood giant it touched—each was burned to pure wood-element Yuan Qi, then absorbed by Fang Yu.

His Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art surged in power at this moment.

As the Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art's power continued to rise, the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi's power also intensified—wood nourished fire, and suddenly the heavens darkened; a Red Emperor Fire Emperor soared into the sky, transforming into a vast crimson cloud, within which crimson divine thunder rolled endlessly, and countless Bing Fire divine thunderbolts rained down like hail.

Boom—Boom boom!

Instantly, countless wood giants were obliterated, turning into wood-element Yuan Qi, which was then absorbed by Fang Yu's Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art.

This was an utterly invincible technique.

Fire subdues wood—overwhelmingly superior.

And with wood nourishing wood, the Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art grew even more formidable.

"If this continues, my Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi will reach great perfection."

As Fang Yu watched all the wood giants slain, he waved his hand—the crimson Bing Fire divine thunder cloud in empty space descended into his palm, then transformed into the phantom of the Red Emperor Fire Emperor and entered his heart.

If any Daoist were here, they would sense the terrifying destructive power contained within Fang Yu's body—a power that, if unleashed, could burn everything to ash.

His current Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi was even more terrifying than the power of an ordinary supreme-grade fire treasure.

"It's time to venture deeper into the Five Elements Realm and slay some fiercer beasts."
