Chapter 178: Five Elements Attain the Dao and Depart

The black giant wave surged downward; Shaohao could only keep dodging, for he was not unable to block it, but to him, this filthy thing, once it touched his divine power, would make him feel nauseous.

Especially after dodging the giant wave, when he saw within the surge some corpses not yet completely rotted.

"Yazi, you've made me remember you thoroughly; get lost, if you attack with such filth again, I will kill you!"

Shaohao was utterly furious, his face twisted as he spoke.

This underground turbid flow mostly came from the ancient flood, entering through a passage connecting to the subterranean cave-heavens.

The primordial water back then was already filthy, and under the pressure of turbid qi it endured countless eons; it's thanks to Yazi that he could bear it.

Yazi didn't retort either; these filthy things polluting the spirit platform were also hard for him to endure.

At this moment, they were just like when Shaohao threw Yazi from a height, and Yazi survived by falling into a cesspit.

And after Yazi rose up, he attacked Shaohao with the filth from the cesspit.

At this moment Shaohao had not been stained, so he could not avoid it; Yazi, covered in filth, attacked Shaohao, but he truly feared that if it stained him, the other would fly into a rage, and he would stubbornly endure the filth to slay himself.

Yazi knew the gap between them; seeing Shaohao speak angrily, he did not linger, manipulating these turbid waters to depart.

And the Great Luo Golden Immortal accompanying him, Yazi had already, upon seeing Shaohao, ordered him to return.

Otherwise, after this incident, Yazi would probably declare a clean sweep.

But he also dared not stop manipulating the turbid water, fearing Shaohao would become enraged and turn back to kill him.

Shaohao stood in place, countless gusts of wind swirling around him and spreading outward in all directions.

After a moment, the heavens and earth cleared; Shaohao then turned and left, but the anger permeating his surroundings was not released in the slightest.

"How could Yinglong take such a person as a disciple! I mistakenly regarded him as virtuous, pah!"

Although he had not been contaminated, Shaohao still felt extremely nauseous, unable to endure.

"Issue my orders, notify the Qilin Tribe, command the beast tribes, raise troops, and jointly attack the Dragon Tribe!"

Shaohao's voice echoed throughout the White Tiger Tribe's camp.

"Will obey the superior's order."

After Yazi moved far from the White Tiger Tribe's camp, he gave up manipulating the turbid water, letting it pour across the land.

He then immediately returned to the Dragon Tribe's camp; merely a brief manipulation had already caused black spots to appear in his pupils, his spirit platform turbid beyond endurance.

At this point, with his condition, he was no longer fit to be the chief officer of the Dragon Tribe's Western Front; he needed to return immediately to the Dragon Tribe to seek spiritual objects and cleanse his primordial spirit.

But the White Tiger Tribe's offensive, before it could even be launched, was halted due to an accident in the Xifang Dalu, and Shaohao also had to immediately return west.

The Qilin Tribe, though displeased, could only let go since it concerned the other's territory.

Also because of the White Tiger Tribe's return, many Western beings lost the will to fight, and the beast tribe's front completely collapsed.

The Southern Front, because Yuan Huang had left without concealing her tracks, before the news of Ancestral Dragon and Azure Dragon going out spread, had no Primordial Dao expert to guard it; the Phoenix Tribe also lowered their banners and ceased activity, with little movement.

After the Dragon Tribe allied with the Phoenix Tribe and the Qilin Tribe, they finally had a slight chance to catch their breath, and the heavens and earth became much clearer.

Eastern Continent.

Yuan Huang now looked mad, searching everywhere at the place where she had been forced to give birth, yet still could not find her child.

Yuan Huang surveyed the surroundings; her overbearing divine sense seemed to want to overturn the earth, yet she still could not find the place where she had given birth.

Not to mention the Five Elements Land that had evolved from the birth of her eldest son; even the desolate mountains similar to then no longer existed. Even the bloodline sense was severed, and Yuan Huang, within this space, could not even detect any abnormal qi.

This caused her extreme anguish, near collapse; Yuan Feng had achieved the Dao and departed, yet she had also lost her child, did not know who the enemy was, and had nowhere to go to seek her child and take revenge.

"Phoenix, what should I do? You've left, the child is also missing, and I don't even know who the enemy is, or who stole our child—what should I do!"

Yuan Huang wept bitterly in the wilderness, yet no sound answered her.

Yuan Huang searched here for thousands of years, nearly combing this entire region; she investigated any lingering qi left behind.

But the final result left her despairing; her and Yuan Feng's child seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no matter how she searched, there was no result.

Yuan Huang finally steeled herself and flew south; she had now lost Yuan Feng and her child, the Phoenix Tribe being Yuan Feng's lifeblood, and she could not let Yuan Feng lose his people!

Xifang Dalu.

Mount Sumeru had been enveloped by the great formation; Yang Mei and the others struggled to hold out, but Hongjun and Luo Hou still had not decided the victor.

Their clash, and the operation of the great formation, utterly shattered the meridians of the Xifang Dalu; its destruction even surpassed the grim state of the feral beasts in the North back then.

As the ancestral mountain of the Xifang Dalu's meridians, Mount Sumeru had already lost half of it, worn away by the seasonal qi within the great formation.

The Five Elements Ancestor's metal-wood-water-fire-earth five-elements banner in his hand was also tattered beyond repair; the silver chain originally wrapped around his body had long since snapped, scattered across the ground.

At this moment, the Five Elements Ancestor's robes were tattered, he was in a wretched state, and his breath was extremely weak.

"Fellow Daoists, I fear I must go ahead first; it's only a pity that we failed to discern people's character, falling into the scheming of petty men."

"Now I am unable to support any further; let me instead make some small contribution for you all."

Having said that, the Five Elements Ancestor's childlike appearance instantly grew much older; his Dao resonance suffused his body and spread throughout the Absolute Immortal Sect.

One after another, strands of five-elements spiritual light shot from the Five Elements Ancestor's body, entwining the ceaseless sword qi of the Absolute Immortal Sword, and heading toward the Absolute Immortal Sword hanging high in the sky.

"Five Elements!"

"Five Elements Dao Friend!"

"Five Elements Child! No!"

Three cries of alarm rang out; the Five Elements Ancestor merely smiled slightly, sat cross-legged on the ground, burst into loud laughter, and said: "Three friends, we shall not meet again."

Having said that, the five-colored qi flame began to burn on his body, and immediately spread across the entire Slaughter Immortal Sword Formation.

At the center of the great formation, the diagram of the Slaughter Immortal Sword Formation representing a corner of the Absolute Immortal Sect had dimmed considerably.

The heavens and earth resounded with the Dao's words; a sense of sorrow filled the entire primordial land, even those in the Cloud Dream Marsh feeling the same, sorrow arising from the heart.

Heaven sent down blood rain, drifting over the primordial land; penetrating all defenses, even within the cave-heavens blessed lands, Dao sounds rang out as the blood rain fell.

Qi and the others were heavily worried, fearing that Yang Mei might have encountered some dire strait, yet they could do nothing about it, unable to go.

"Great God Yang Mei, you must return safely!"

Nüwa's voice was low, the sorrow in her heart not yet dispelled.

Qi and the others remained silent.
