Chapter 695

Whether the young dandies of Bulaoshan or the mid-aged beings of royal rank, all now knelt on the ground, yet none had yet agreed to become Fang Yu's master-disciple's dogs.

"Aaah! We are of Bulaoshan! How dare you humiliate us so? This is rebellion, rebellion! Do you know what great disaster you've unleashed?!"

The mid-aged man of Bulaoshan knelt and roared, still unable to believe—he could not fathom that he, himself, had truly knelt, been subdued by another.

This was an eternal shame for Bulaoshan; its dignity had been trampled upon.

It surpassed his wildest imagination—he came from Bulaoshan, representing the supreme lineage of the world, yet someone had actually made him kneel.

Whenever he arrived at any Men Sect, that sect would treat him with utmost reverence, as their most honored guest, for he was one who had emerged from Bulaoshan, embodying the most noble lineage.

"Terrifying—truly terrifying. Shi Hao's Master is so formidable. That one came from Bulaoshan, yet even he knelt."

The young men and women from Xuan Region trembled in fear; even Qianqian Princess, one of the Ten Beauties of Xuan Region, felt unsettled—they had witnessed with their own eyes Bulaoshan's people subdued and kneeling, and feared they might soon suffer a calamity.

"Shi Hao is extremely formidable, but his Master is even more so. Rumors say this one casually subdued a Venerable of Molinghu, a divine being walking among mortals—this must be true!"

"But even a divine being should not act so recklessly toward Bulaoshan. Bulaoshan's lineage is called indestructible, with branches even in the Upper Realm—its ranks surely contain divine beings."

"A colossal event has occurred: Bulaoshan's experts have been subdued and forced to kneel—this place will become a battlefield."

All the young men and women were stunned; word spread swiftly. Soon after, an old man arrived from outside. Seeing the kneeling Bulaoshan dandy and mid-aged man, his face instantly paled.

"How dare you make Bulaoshan's people kneel? Here?!"

The old man's tone turned utterly grim, his killing intent sharp—the temperature in the arena seemed to plummet several degrees.

"Yes. Would you care to ask why?"

Fang Yu, seeing the old man, smiled faintly.

"No need for reasons. You are humiliating Bulaoshan. You will pay a colossal price—even if you are a Venerable or a divine being, you must not humiliate Bulaoshan. Violators shall die."

The old man's expression grew colder.

Everyone tensed—was Bulaoshan about to strike? Could such a colossal force really stand against a divine being? A great battle seemed imminent.

Bulaoshan's depth was immense; within its ranks dwelled immortal beings even divine beings could not resist.

Moreover, in a certain sense, Bulaoshan was even more terrifying than Butian Sect or Jietian Sect, for the latter had countless disciples scattered across all regions—no single disciple's incident would trigger a full sect reprisal.

But Bulaoshan's population was sparse, yet every member was exalted—if one was humiliated, the entire Shanmen would rise and obliterate the offender.

As all stood in shock, the old man from Bulaoshan moved—he spat out a glowing orb that burst into five-colored light and rapidly expanded.

It was a treasure ring, neither gold nor stone, emitting strange ripples.

Everyone was stunned, for as soon as the treasure ring appeared, the entire void seemed sealed—they felt as if trapped in quicksand.

"What's happening? Why can't I move?"

"My body is bound—I cannot channel my power!"

"What's going on? What kind of treasure is this? It can immobilize us all at once?!"

"Elder of Bulaoshan, this has nothing to do with us! We did not participate—please spare us!"

"Bulaoshan's ultimate treasure—that's the Five Elements Ring!"

Qianqian Princess turned pale, recognizing the artifact.

"What? The Five Elements Ring?!"

All faces turned ashen.

The Five Elements Ring was famed beyond measure—it had shone brilliantly in ancient times, slaying countless earth-shaking great figures, its might fearsome and legendary.

It was said the ring was forged from the primordial rune bones of five most renowned heavenly-grade ferocious beasts, embodying the Five Elements, hailed as one of the strongest treasures ever made.

Legend says when this treasure was completed, heaven and earth lost color, sun and moon dimmed, and all of Xuan Region was drained of hue—it consumed countless heavenly treasures of Xuan Region; the five heavenly-grade ferocious beast bones were merely the main ingredients, alongside burning divine blood and sacred bones.

In those days, when this treasure emerged, even divine beings retreated three steps, daring not to challenge it—it had slain too many great cultivators in past ages.

Now, as the Five Elements Ring manifested, its mystery revealed: the young elites here, hailed as peerless geniuses among ten thousand, instantly felt crushing pressure—Five Elements energy flowed through the void, subduing them all at once.

In other words, their lives now hung on the old man's single thought.

"Under my Five Elements Ring, I'll see how you dare act so recklessly!"

The Bulaoshan elder sneered—the Five Elements Ring descended, five-colored divine light flowing through the void, four hues blazing brilliantly, transforming into misty vapors that poured downward.

The void grew hazy, like water frozen solid, like heaven and earth sealed—utterly unbreakable.

Divine light crushed downward, as if ready to pulverize Fang Yu and Shi Hao on the spot.

But Fang Yu remained untouched.

Not only Fang Yu—even Shi Hao was unharmed. From his dantian flowed Yin and Yang qi—the Kunpeng Art—transforming into supreme Yang and supreme Yin forces, while five-colored divine light surged forth, instantly neutralizing the Five Elements Ring's power.

Five Elements countered Five Elements; Yin-Yang countered Five Elements.

Dao itself restrained each other—the Five Elements Ring could not touch Shi Hao.

Much less Fang Yu.

"The Five Elements Ring? Not bad—but not the original. Its power is far too diminished."

As the Five Elements Ring descended, Fang Yu's expression remained unchanged. This treasure was decent—but merely a replica. If placed in the Eternal Life Realm, its power would barely reach the rank of Treasure Artifact.

Perhaps a high-grade Treasure Artifact, or even supreme-grade—but no matter its rank, to Fang Yu it meant nothing.

Especially since Fang Yu had cultivated the Great Five Elements Art to perfection. The Zhu Que he once absorbed at random was stronger than this Five Elements Ring.

Before all eyes, Fang Yu, facing the Five Elements Ring that had made everyone tremble, simply reached out with one hand—five-colored divine light surged from his palm, instantly sweeping the Five Elements Ring into his grasp.

Then he reached out again—the void revealed a five-colored divine mountain, which immediately crushed the old man down.

"That's all?"

Fang Yu shook his head.

Everyone in the arena froze.

The young male and female cultivators, moments ago immobilized by the Five Elements Ring, feeling mortal peril, now watched as Fang Yu merely waved his hand—retrieving the Five Elements Ring, then waved again, subduing the Bulaoshan elder.

"That old man from Bulaoshan—he's Qin Shoucheng! His cultivation base long reached the Formation Array realm! He's Bulaoshan's giant in the mortal world—and he was subdued in two moves?!"

"Terrifying—truly terrifying. Shi Hao is already strong, but his Master—that divine being—is the true powerhouse. One casual motion, and he subdued a Bulaoshan expert."

"Shi Hao's Master previously suppressed the Venerable of the Demon Linghu with a single hand, and now he remains just as domineering, having gone up against the Bulaoshan."

"The Bulaoshan certainly won't swallow this insult — who knows what storm will come of it next?"

"You youngsters and geniuses from beyond the domain, the Daoshibu Society will not lift a hand against you. If you wish to challenge my disciple, that is also acceptable."

Fang Yu sensed the fear of those people from beyond the domain, smiled, and his gaze swept over those living beings from beyond the domain.

Though he was smiling, the cultivators of every race from beyond the domain felt a chill creep into their hearts. Whoever dared say the Desolate Domain was no good, whoever dared say the Desolate Domain had no one — as long as this master and disciple pair remained in the world, no one would dare utter such ruthless words.

"A bunch of country bumpkins, used to hopping around in other domains, coming to the Desolate Domain to run wild — have you even looked to see that the Desolate Marquis is here?"

The cultivators of the Desolate Domain were all immensely stirred.

"Little Dummy, let's go out for a walk, see if there are any fortuitous encounters in this world, and stop by the Bulaoshan along the way. Speaking of which, your mother seems to be from the Qin Clan of the Bulaoshan."

After suppressing three cultivators of the Bulaoshan, Fang Yu led Shi Hao out of this place. Wherever they passed, whether cultivators of the Primordial Shenshan or other living beings from beyond the domain, none dared meet their gaze.

Fang Yu was simply too overwhelmingly powerful — suppressing the people of the Bulaoshan was, for the living beings from beyond the domain, for the great Dajiao Sect, and even for the outstanding disciples of the Primordial Shenshan, an earth-shaking matter. None of them would dare do such a thing.

Sure enough, if you want to slap someone's face, you have to pick a powerful one to slap — that way you can awe everyone at once.

The imperial city of Stone Country trembled, countless people shaking because of it, yet Fang Yu and Shi Hao had already left the imperial city, searching for treasures across the lands of the Desolate Domain.

The Lower Realm did indeed have some treasure troves, such as the Supreme Hall, and some forbidden lands inhabited by extraordinarily powerful cultivators, whose cultivation base could even rival the Sect Masters of the Upper Realm.

Fang Yu now wished to cultivate the Great Chaos Art, so naturally he had to go out and look around.

Yet in Shi Hao's mind, there was only one piece of news.

"My mother is a person of the Bulaoshan? Doesn't that mean we just hit our own relatives?"

Shi Hao listened to his Master's words and spoke up.

"So what if we hit them? Relatives are relatives, dogs are dogs. The disciples of the Bulaoshan are so wildly arrogant beyond all bounds — when they need to be dealt with, deal with them."

Fang Yu said.

"That's true enough."

Shi Hao recalled that disciple of the Bulaoshan who followed Princess Qianqian, someone called Qin Chao — truly a wastrel among wastrels, an idiot among idiots. Just because Princess Qianqian had spoken a single word to him, he wanted Shi Hao gone. A wastrel like that would sooner or later be wiped out.

Giving him a beating wouldn't be bad either.

"Let's go. I sense there seems to be some Chaos Qi around here."

Fang Yu entered a certain place.

This place seemed to be the Western Tombs Beast Mountain, home to many beasts, whose strength was extremely formidable.

But Fang Yu came and went without a trace, and obtained some Chaos Qi.

Using the Great Void Art to travel through this world, Fang Yu and Shi Hao arrived once more at the lands of Fire Country, and at a certain place saw a wall —

This wall was tall and magnificent, like a Primordial Shenshan, an overall dull grey without any brilliant colors, bearing only a sense of weathered antiquity. Above the Zuoshi Sect there was a wall, and on the wall were many lifelike carvings — forms of divine beasts, vivid and lifelike, as if they possessed souls.

A line of great characters appeared on this wall: Wall of Gods and Demons.

On this wall there were altogether one hundred and eight Zuoshi Sect, like the True Dragon Gate, the Zhu Que Gate — all sealed shut, merely carved out and unable to be pushed open, while the Qitade Sect could be pushed open.
