Chapter 372

Amidst the residual power of the thunder light, the five-colored divine light reversed.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—the five elements restrained each other, transforming into demon light that collapsed all things and was purely destructive, suddenly sweeping toward Seeing Yan Shu and the others. The Chi Tie Spirit King wrapped himself and Seeing Yan Shu and the others in Yin-Yang Qi, but saw that before the five-colored demon light, the Yin-Yang Qi was divided, the two instruments dissolved, and the demon light was about to pierce through the Yin-Yang Qi.

"You are the last hope of the human race. Return to the world beyond the sky; do not let the Yin-Yang Qi fall into the peacock's hands!"

The bamboo bear sighed deeply, condensed the Yin-Yang Qi, and protected Seeing Yan Shu. The Two-Instruments Diagram turned, about to send them ten thousand li away, heading toward the overseas regions.

Without the protection of the Yin-Yang Qi, the Five-Element demon light struck it and caused heavy injury.

The black and white fur was stained red with blood...

Before the Iron Pass, the thunder light dissipated. A giant demon bird with fangs and sharp teeth, a thousand zhang tall, with flesh wings spread and five-colored feathers bathed in divine light, spread its wings. Blood-malevolent demon Qi soared into the sky, carrying the naked cruelty and savagery of the ancient wilderness.

Ancient Kong Que?

Qian Chen was forced to spit out another mouthful of blood by the pressure brought by the shattered Five-Element Mountain. Looking at the Kong Que Demon King's true body, he gasped: "Supreme One, what madness are you up to again? Because the ancestor of birds is a dinosaur, the Kong Que Demon King reverted to his ancient bloodline and also became an ancient dinosaur? Is this damn thing a peacock?"

"This is a dinosaur!"

"Is it necessary to replicate even this?"

The impact of self-detonating the external pill on him was enormous. Unlike the impact of external objects, this time self-shattering the external pill, combined with risking a huge backlash to trigger the Heavenly Realm Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, the Dao Dust Bead, which had always guarded his soul without a leak, was finally powerless. The deathly fatigue and complete lack of strength, mixed with the intense pain of his spiritual sense, made his vision somewhat blurred.

The Chi Tie Spirit King's final act of sending Seeing Yan Shu and the others away also completely failed. Outside the Iron Pass, a towering tree, twisted like a dragon, with a canopy spreading nearly ten thousand zhang, forcibly intercepted the fleeing Yin-Yang Qi.

Seeing Yan Shu, wrapped in the Yin-Yang Qi, had graying temples and had exhausted his essence.

Ning Qingchen was unconscious, her heart pulse protected by the Yin-Yang Qi, and she could die at any moment.

Si Qingcheng struggled to support the Yin-Yang Qi, grasping the jade talisman several times and then letting go, her expression dazed, yet she still insisted on staying here. Amidst the countless branches of the Dragon Tree King wrapping and squeezing, she lowered her head and muttered: "Father, come quickly! I can't hold on anymore!"

Qian Chen himself was also struggling to support himself beneath the residual Five-Element Mountain. The reason he did not destroy the Five-Element Mountain while controlling the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was for his final trump card.

This body was twisted and twitching due to intense pain. All the bones in his body seemed to have snapped and shattered inch by inch under the heavy pressure.

But this pain was as light as a feather compared to the difficult choice.

"If I do this, Yan Yan Shixiong Yan would probably rather die!"

The Kong Que Demon King's true body stepped on the bamboo bear, biting down on its fat body and tearing off an arm. Transforming into the ancient true body seemed to have a huge influence on the peacock's body, causing it to completely lose the composure and nobility of its human form, instead becoming cold, cruel, and filled with brutality in its consciousness.

The Heaven-Luo San handle slipped down a few more inches.

The Yin-Yang Qi was already difficult to support. Amidst the Dragon Tree King's crazy strangulation, Seeing Yan Shu closed his eyes and once again gripped the sword in his hand—the sword in his heart!

"I'm sorry, I just want to protect the more important people first!" Qian Chen said silently in his heart, with his back to the living beings behind him.

The Heaven-Luo San slipped from his hand...

The blue sky collapsed, and the Five-Element Divine Mountain smashed down. The giant Buddha split in two on top of it barely stood up, carrying a final trace of ferocity, raising its remaining eight hundred arms and striking down toward Qian Chen.

Just at this moment, Master Fa Xin transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang golden body, replacing Qian Chen to prop up the Five-Element Mountain!

The golden body shattered! Rolling golden blood flowed out...

Qian Chen gripped the Heaven-Luo San handle in his hand. He suddenly looked back, the Sentient Sword unsheathed an inch; at this moment, Master Fa Xin's broken golden body just muttered: "If I do not enter hell, who will enter hell?"

His consciousness was already blurred, relying entirely on instinct to prop up the great mountain.

At this moment, there was no rationality in Master Fa Xin's eyes, no awareness of certain death, only a faint trace of Buddha nature flickering.

Qian Chen only needed one sword strike to kill him...

"Demon-Meeting Slash!"

Luo Sen held his long blade, blocking before the giant Buddha, protecting Qian Chen. The long blade in his hand had long since snapped; beneath the giant Buddha's eight hundred arms, how small he was.

But with a trace of relief, he no longer cared about the killing intent Qian Chen revealed behind him, still slashing a blade at the giant Buddha.

"Liberation!"

The black-green skeleton transformed into black and white, all his ghost Qi poured into this blade, not slashing at Qian Chen, but at the giant Buddha...

"Confucius speaks of benevolence, Mencius speaks of righteousness!"

The scholar riding the big green donkey burned himself, his Haoran Righteous Qi rolling like a tide, blocking before the Kong Que Demon King's massive true body. The scholar's body turned to fly ash, leaving only a faint murmur: "Only when righteousness is exhausted, therefore... benevolence is reached..."

The bamboo slips fell to the ground, leaving only the big green donkey stamping its hooves in place.

"Just sacrifice life for righteousness!" The old Daoist priest with a goat beard left a sigh, burning his Jin Dan origin to transform into a sword, thrusting at the peacock. Of the remaining human Core Formation cultivators, some fled at this moment, but more stayed behind.

"Life and death are as usual!"

In the sky, streaks of various colored light flashed. Countless people at the Iron Pass rose up with swords, like ants, rushing toward the Kong Que Demon King.

"Ants, if integrity alone could shake a natural chasm, wouldn't my five thousand years of cultivation have been fed to the dogs?" the Kong Que Demon King said coldly, easily tearing through the Haoran Righteous Qi and ignoring the countless people rushing to their deaths.

"If I do not enter hell, who will enter hell?"

Qian Chen came holding his sword. The peacock still remembered this human he had rarely encountered and was worth remembering, saying calmly: "Without that external pill, what else can you use to stop me?"

"A life!"

Qian Chen burned his essence blood, transforming into a streak of blood light, rushing toward the Kong Que Demon King.

At this time, Qian Chen's voice reached Seeing Yan Shu's ears, instructing: "Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, we still have one chance! After the five-colored divine light reaches Great Success, the only flaw is in the peacock's belly."

Seeing Yan Shu widened his eyes and said: "Qian Shidi, even if you are going to die for righteousness, you don't have to talk such nonsense!"

"The peacock's belly must be the source of the five-colored divine light, capable of refining everything. Even if a Primordial Spirit True Immortal went in, they couldn't come out alive. Do you think it's just a flesh belly?"

"But what if it can't refine it?"

"If it can't refine it, then the peacock naturally has no way at all. But what it can't refine, why fear the five-colored divine light? Qian Shidi, your logic is flawed."

"It's not that I have a problem, it's that the Supreme One has a problem, and a big one at that!"

"Yan Yan Shixiong, send the Yin-Yang Qi in!"

Qian Chen instructed for the last time. The peacock stretched its neck and swallowed him into its mouth. With a brush of the five-colored divine light, Qian Chen had no power to resist and fell into its belly.

"Throwing yourself into the net?" The peacock was somewhat puzzled.

Seeing Yan Shu gritted his teeth: "I'll trust you once! Junior Sister Si, expand the Jin Dan Realm and protect the two of them." Seeing Yan Shu squeezed out his last bit of sword Qi, launching his sword to slash through the Dragon Tree King's canopy, rushing toward the peacock.

Fierce light flashed in the peacock's eyes, but before he could strike, Seeing Yan Shu slashed the Yin-Yang Qi into sword light and stuffed it into the peacock's belly.

The peacock was stunned for a moment: "Are you surrendering now? For the sake of your good swordsmanship, I can turn you into a demon!"

"Screw you! I'm going to stuff you to death!" Seeing Yan Shu cursed.

The peacock's heart stirred. The five-colored divine light source in its belly operated, and all the artifacts in Qian Chen's sleeves and Qiankun bag were taken away.

And Qian Chen's physical body was refined into the five elements in an instant. The strands of pure Five-Element origin refined out surprised the peacock greatly. Not to mention Qian Chen's physical aptitude, to be extinguished so simply, could it really be a desperate suicide?

Amidst the five-colored divine light, a chaotic-colored bead floated slightly, then emitted countless rays of light!

In the Supreme Dao Dust Bead, Qian Chen's spiritual consciousness operated suddenly—"Cannot slow down! Absolutely cannot slow down!" The Dao Dust Bead's spiritual consciousness was slowly slowing down and stagnating, but Qian Chen tried his best to persist in staying awake. The Great Success five-colored divine light was barely enough to even wipe the Dao Dust Bead transformed by the Supreme One's thought, but what Qian Chen truly had to contend with was the Dao Dust Bead's own power.

Only by staying awake could he kill the peacock from its strongest point.

At this moment, a point of innate Yin-Yang Qi fell. Qian Chen controlled the Dao Dust Bead to probe out a point of spiritual consciousness. He could not drive the Dao Dust Bead's power, so he could only use the innate Yin-Yang Qi origin that the five-colored divine light could not refine to reshape a primordial pill and entrust his soul. Only then could he use means within the five-colored divine light.

"Supreme Pill Dao... among thousands of divine abilities, the one that can be used to the end is actually still you!"

Using the five-colored divine light as a furnace and the innate Yin-Yang Qi as medicine, Qian Chen operated the Taiji, gave birth to the two instruments, and began to refine the pill.
