Chapter 372: Five-Colored Divine Light
Innate divine monsters are different from so-called demons, beasts, and monsters.
They correspond to the star fates above and receive their mandate from the Profound Tribulation; they are living beings cherished by the Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, a type of exotic species among the myriad heavens and the universe.
Because from the moment a divine monster is born, whether it be their power, divine abilities, or destiny and fortune, all are of the highest order.
As long as they do not encounter disaster midway, under the obscure blessing of the Profound Tribulation's Heavenly Dao,
such exotic species will all become powerful giants capable of turning the world upside down!
However, the operation of the Profound Tribulation's Heavenly Dao naturally has its own rules; it will not sit idly by and watch innate divine monsters become the sole power among the myriad universes, causing all spirits to lose the chance to contend and compete.
According to the words in secret Daoist books, the number of this kind of being is by no means large.
Except for the True Dragon clan,
other divine monsters find it extremely difficult to give birth to their own offspring; their bloodlines have always been sparse.
And divine monsters like the Taotie, True Dragon, Green Bird, Huoluo, and Nine Phoenix all possess their own innate divine abilities, which are unique methods.
Once unleashed, they possess all sorts of unfathomable, ghostly, and divine powers.
They can cause the yin and yang to change, shake the myriad phenomena, and are truly formidable!
And the Five-Colored Peacock, as one of the innate divine monsters, is naturally no exception.
According to what Chen Hang knows, the innate divine light of this Five-Colored Peacock is called "Five-Colored Divine Light," divided into five colors: green, yellow, red, black, and white, each color corresponding to the five elements of wood, earth, fire, water, and metal.
It is touted that within the five elements, there is nothing it cannot brush away, nothing it cannot break!
It is not only an extremely powerful means when attacking enemies, but it can also be used to protect one's life and body, avoiding the disasters and tribulations of the five elements.
And at this moment, as Kong Chong manifests the true form of the Five-Colored Peacock, the fighting spirit in his eyes burns intensely, like a raging fire, scorching the sky.
He lets out a whistle, and with a flap of his wings, countless golden lights and fierce fires fall like a torrential downpour, smashing down upon Chen Hang's head and face.
The mountain and marsh essence on the ground transforms into long ropes, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, stretching and spreading upward, forming a net to seal off Chen Hang's path!
Facing this lethal move, Chen Hang does not move; he merely flicks his sleeve, and twenty-four sword lights emerge, like the new moon emerging from clouds or a long rainbow drinking from a mountain stream, flying and darting incessantly in the void sky.
The scene is truly dazzling to behold, and it is accompanied by a sharp, peerless killing intent that vibrates the atmosphere!
Once such a move appears, it presses the vegetation beneath the clouds to collapse one after another; even tigers, leopards, and other spirit creatures, even from far away, are terrified, tucking their tails and fleeing in all directions, not even daring to look back!
Under the flashing and leaping of the twenty-four sword qi, the sharp offensive launched by Kong Chong fails to hold for even ten breaths before being easily broken.
Whether it is the golden fire or the long ropes transformed from mountain and marsh essence, all are slashed into nothingness in one go, leaving not a trace.
"Sword Light Differentiation, what a formidable method... This kind of killing power is even a few degrees stronger than that six-armed Yaksha in the cave who also practiced the sword!"
Seeing that the move he had carefully designed was broken by the opponent's sword light, Kong Chong is also slightly surprised, his thoughts racing.
And at this moment, the twenty-four sword qi have already formed an encirclement, covering the upper, lower, and four directions, tearing through the air and slashing down fiercely at Kong Chong!
Kong Chong's fighting spirit grows even stronger; he tilts his head, dodging the sword qi aimed at his pupils at the very last moment.
He then flaps his wings, which are wreathed in five-colored light, and without dodging or evading, he meets them head-on!
As the feathers and sword qi collide, a continuous sound of iron striking iron erupts in mid-air, as if two divine weapons had collided heavily in one place!
They go back and forth, neither willing to retreat even half a step!
The immense power churns the sea of clouds incessantly, and the explosive sound is sharp and piercing.
The swirling gale and qi masses passing back and forth are either slashed in two by the shooting sword qi and collapse,
or are slapped out of existence by the boundless giant force, leaving not a speck...
And after fighting for a while, although Kong Chong prides himself on his innate, formidable physical body, which has been tempered by all sorts of precious medicines and rare treasures found by his grandfather, it is already solid and hard to damage.
Even among the peer divine monsters in the Three Realms Cave, those who can surpass him in the way of the physical body are only the few, like Zhu Yan and Long Xiang.
But no matter how much of a body of metal and iron he has, it cannot withstand such slashing from sword qi, let alone twenty-four sword qi taking turns without stopping.
Not to mention flesh-and-blood creatures, even a divine mountain of refined iron would find it hard to endure such grinding!
With his muscles and bones aching, deep bloodstains appearing in several places on his body, and his blood and qi surging in his chest, Kong Chong also truly learns the sharpness of the sword qi.
After secretly shouting "good," he finally no longer insists on resisting with his physical body; he lets out a clear whistle, leaps out of the battle circle, and instantly jumps to a higher place in the void sky.
And before the sword qi can chase after him, Kong Chong's body bulges, and dozens of divine phantom images emerge, some stepping on dragons and tigers, some accompanied by wind and fire, some with clear and turbid qi above their heads, and some holding bells and tripods.
Each of them possessed a dignified and ancient bearing, natural and weathered, as if they had already resided in the world for infinite years.
As if they were those primordial gods of chaos who were personally fashioned by the various Sages in the ancient eras, having temporarily governed the four seasons of heaven and earth, and assisted the Sages in regulating the clear and the turbid, the yin and the yang.
A heavy pressure fills the space between heaven and earth, making it impossible for anyone to ignore!
Said too late, it happened fast!
In a flash of light and shadow, those divine phantom images rush toward the sword light, each meeting one, and both perish together.
And as the twenty-four divine phantom images vanish into nothingness along with the sword qi,
the remaining divine phantom images cross the vast sky in a few steps, either punching and bombarding, or striking with the bells and tripods in their hands, or emitting wind, thunder, and fierce fire, or mobilizing the vast power of the heaven and earth void, pressing down fiercely on Chen Hang!
In an instant, divine sounds suddenly resound between heaven and earth, and visions of auspicious qi and golden light emerge, spreading in all directions.
Even though the attack has not yet reached him, being forced into his immediate vicinity by these divine phantom images, Chen Hang also feels a slight sense of discomfort in his heart.
It is as if he were suddenly placed in a dark and obscure world, where nothing exists around him; it is the Great Void, silent and desolate, with no image to be seen.
This is not a method of soul attack, but a crushing force of an inexplicable, majestic momentum.
Even though Kong Chong, due to his own cultivation, failed to exert the full power of this divine technique, it is truly terrifying.
Because Chen Hang has not yet truly reached the "Sword Light Differentiation" realm, although he can divide twenty-four swords in one breath, the time is limited.
Now that the sword qi has been destroyed by the divine phantom images, he does not intend to summon them again, but instead uses the Sword Escape, transforming into a rainbow to avoid these various attacks.
He then flicks his sleeves to release several Purple-Clear Divine Thunders; after the earth-shaking roar, he blasts apart the divine phantom images charging at the front, causing them to turn into wisps of dark and bright primordial qi, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Kong Chong does not dare to be slow; he busily gathers his spirit and summons several more divine spirits, making up the number to thirty.
At the same time, his true body moves, wrapped in wild winds and clouds, rushing to kill Chen Hang in the distance.
For a time, one only sees thunder bursting, red water swirling, and high-pitched whistling sounds, stirring heaven and earth.
Thus, after fighting for a hundred rounds,
Kong Chong also understands that if he does not bring out his trump card, he is afraid he will be unable to win this round and will be defeated miserably.
He shouts loudly, gathers all his strength, rushes forward, and suddenly flies up, crashing into the blood river pressing down from the high sky, causing a corner of it to collapse.
Then, his feathers spread out in unison, emitting a brushing sound, like a river or sea flowing horizontally, stirring the spiritual mechanism into a violent riot!
Suddenly.
A Five-Colored Divine Light is unleashed by Kong Chong, disappearing in an instant!
And at the moment Kong Chong exerts his strength, the Tai Su Jade Body also suddenly sends out a warning.
Chen Hang tilts his body, moving dozens of zhang away at the very last moment, narrowly avoiding this strike.
And as the brilliant light slowly fades,
Chen Hang looks back and sees that the place where he originally stood is now empty.
Whether it be vegetation, soil, or mountain rocks, all seem to have been wiped away by an invisible, great power, disappearing completely...
"Brother Chen, please be careful. This is the innate divine ability of our Five-Colored Peacock clan, the Five-Colored Divine Light! Once this method is unleashed, it can collect all the weapons in the world!
My grandfather relied on this method back then to offend the entire Three Realms Cave..."
At this moment, behind Kong Chong, there is a five-colored halo cast from green, yellow, red, black, and white, slowly rotating, emitting bursts of grand sounds, making him look like a heavenly general of the Daoist court, a protector of the teaching, majestic, solemn, and sacred.
After a mocking remark, the halo behind him rotates again, shooting out another brilliant and gorgeous light, covering Chen Hang.
Chen Hang's gaze slightly narrows, and he raises his hand to blast a Purple-Clear Zi Qing Shen Lei, but it is like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to stir up any movement, and is instantly swallowed by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
And after cleanly and neatly breaking the Purple-Clear Zi Qing Shen Lei, when it approaches Chen Hang's side with lightning speed,
the Five-Colored Divine Light also seems to have anticipated that Chen Hang wanted to use the Sword Escape to escape, and had long been prepared for this move.
It shakes in mid-air, silently dividing into five, blocking his four directions, and brushing down in unison!
When this strike falls, the surrounding heaven and earth seem to be shrouded in five lights, and the momentum is not small.
But there is no joy on Kong Chong's face; he only slightly raises his eyebrows, looking quite surprised, and cannot help but let out a soft "eh."
At this moment, in his field of vision, he sees a wisp of imperceptible qi mist suddenly shake, and then Chen Hang's figure emerges from it.
Seeing this scene,
and connecting it to Chen Hang's previous infiltration of the mountain belly palace,
Kong Chong also instantly understands in his heart that Chen Hang had used a shape-shifting method to change his body, which is why he could barely dodge the brushing of his Five-Colored Divine Light.
In fact, regarding the various methods Chen Hang displayed in this exchange, Kong Chong is also secretly surprised.
But at this moment, he cannot afford to be distracted.
Seeing red water splitting the sky and killing him before his eyes,
Kong Chong gathers his spirit and rotates the five-colored halo again, fighting fiercely with Chen Hang.
And after some probing, seeing that whether it be sword qi, red water, divine light, or other Daoist arts, they all fail to achieve results when the Five-Colored Divine Light brushes down,
Chen Hang, who is entangled with Kong Chong using the Sword Escape, has a slight flash in his eyes, and a plan vaguely forms in his heart.
However, at this time, because of the repeated use of the Five-Colored Divine Light, even though Kong Chong's divine power is extremely abundant, he also shows signs of fatigue.
Feeling the speed of Chen Hang's Sword Escape,
he also makes up his mind to use a thunderous method before his strength is exhausted, to completely decide the winner!
At this moment, the Five-Colored Divine Light rotates again, forcing Chen Hang, who had reached his front, away.
Kong Chong suddenly lets out a whistle, takes the magic seal, and a wisp of five-colored smoke flies out from his crown.
In the blink of an eye, the smoke rises to dozens of zhang high, condensing into a large five-colored handprint, covering the clouds and sun, stirring up wind and smoke.
With a movement of the five fingers, it blasts the long sky, and with the majestic spirit of ten thousand jun, it slaps fiercely at Chen Hang!
This is precisely the unique skill of the Five Elders Xiangong that only true disciples can be taught, and it is also the proud method that the ascended cultivator Pan Yangzi relied on to become famous.
Immortal Dao Great Divine Ability—Five Elders Heavenly Official Handprint!
With a "Boom—" sound,
amidst the whistling sound of rolling air currents, the five-element giant hand instantly crosses a distance of a hundred zhang, fast beyond imagination, and rushes to kill fiercely!
And at the moment the five-element giant hand manifests, Chen Hang only feels that the surrounding heaven and earth seem to be firmly fixed by an invisible secret power, as solid as iron and stone, and even his body is bound in place, like a flying insect trapped in amber, unable to move an inch, and the Sword Escape is significantly hindered.
By the time Chen Hang releases the Purple-Clear Zi Qing Shen Lei to break the giant hand,
before he can transform into a rainbow and leave, Kong Chong, who had long been prepared, has already seized this gap and rotates the five-colored halo behind him with all his might!
Following the flight of a five-colored light screen, the heaven and earth before his eyes are dazzling and blurred, scorching the eyes, almost impossible to look at!
And after the brilliant light slowly converges,
the original place is empty, and Chen Hang's figure is no longer to be seen...
"Finally done."
Kong Chong breathes a sigh of relief, flaps his wings slowly, and lands on the mountain, suddenly feeling a sense of fatigue.
Fighting Chen Hang earlier, he could be said to have used all his means, even using the innate divine ability Five-Colored Divine Light more than once, but failed to break the stalemate.
In the end, he used the Five Elders Heavenly Official Handprint to fix the heaven and earth void, hindering the extreme speed of the Sword Escape.
Only then did he successfully brush Chen Hang down and collect him into the five-element world, winning this round.
The Five Elders Heavenly Official Handprint is a great divine ability of the Five Elders Xiangong; Pan Yangzi relied on this handprint to fight all the demons and ghosts of the netherworld and the evil spirits outside the universe, creating a resounding reputation!
Since it is so majestic, this method naturally has its uniqueness.
Once unleashed, it can fix the void heaven and earth covered by the five-element handprint according to the principles of the mutual generation and restriction of the former and latter heaven five elements, making it impossible to move.
Even the Sword Escape of a sword cultivator must be restrained by one or two points!
If one wants to break it,
one must spend a great deal of effort.
And by the time one struggles to break the restraint, the five-element giant hand has already crashed down fiercely, kneading ordinary opponents into a puddle of meat mud.
It can be said that once this handprint is unleashed,
the opponent has no choice but to take it head-on, finding it difficult to dodge!
However, this handprint is ultimately a supreme great divine ability of the Immortal Dao; even though Kong Chong's grandfather, after learning this technique back then, used great wisdom to change it into a divine Dao technique,
it is ultimately not as profound as the original divine ability, and its power is also significantly inferior...
If it were the original five-element giant hand, once its power was unleashed, collapsing mountains and shattering peaks, overturning lakes and seas, would not be a difficult task!
And as one's cultivation becomes deeper, its killing power becomes even more magnificent, and nothing can resist it.
And at this moment, sensing his own fatigue, Kong Chong is also truly surprised and cannot help but sigh with emotion.
Although he is only an incarnation traveling out,
this incarnation was painstakingly created with secret methods, and surpassing a Jin Dan True Person of the Immortal Dao is not a difficult task.
In fact, on the way to Dongmi Continent,
Kong Chong, because he couldn't stand it, also quietly killed several Jin Dan demons, easily.
Who would have thought that against Chen Hang, he would have to go to such great lengths, almost being forced to the end of his rope.
Thinking about it this way, it is truly bizarre...
And just as Kong Chong's thoughts were racing,
Chen Hang, who had been brushed down by the Five-Colored Divine Light, flicks his sleeves, sits cross-legged on the ground calmly, looks at the vast empty space, and a look of contemplation appears on his face.
At this moment, he is already in a dark and silent space, surrounded only by blurred and brilliant five-colored light, rippling like the sea, infinite and endless.
Apart from this, nothing else exists.
Being in this place, one's whole person becomes muddled, about to lose clarity.
One's true qi or magic power is also inevitably assimilated into the qi of the five elements, returning to this heaven and earth, losing the strength to resist.
It is only because Chen Hang has the Luo An Black Water to protect his soul and a solid Dao foundation that he can temporarily resist this assimilation power and keep his true qi from dissipating.
If it were an ordinary Daoist brushed into this five-element world,
I am afraid that within an hour or two, he would become fish meat on the chopping block, left to be slaughtered by Kong Chong.
And after calculating for a while, Chen Hang also puts away the tortoise shell in his sleeves, smiles slightly, and a look of understanding appears.
Although the Five-Colored Divine Light is formidable, touted as being able to brush away and break anything within the five elements,
that is only for the powerful giants of the Peacock clan.
With Kong Chong's current ability, wanting to achieve this is still more than a notch short; when the Five-Colored Divine Light operates, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of a flaw.
And Chen Hang's repeated attacks just now were precisely to find where this flaw lay.
However, it was not easy to calm down and calculate in the outside world; now that he has been brushed into this five-element world, with no one to disturb him, by a twist of fate, it is instead convenient for him to let go and act.
This, in the final analysis, is because although Kong Chong is only a secret technique incarnation,
the incarnation's cultivation is still higher than his current Cave-Mystic realm, making it impossible to pull him into the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie and generate a mental image.
Otherwise, why go to such trouble?
Chen Hang only needs to take a trip to the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie and fight Kong Chong's mental image head-on a few times to get a definitive answer.
And at this moment, after calculating the flaw in Kong Chong's Five-Colored Divine Light operation using the divination method,
Chen Hang does not want to delay any longer, continuing to be ground down by the five-element power here; he is just about to use a thunderous method to break the Five-Colored Divine Light from the inside and win this round.
However, when he is about to make a move, the qi mechanism on his body slightly bounces, and suddenly, he has a flash of inspiration and understands a certain principle.
He cannot help but smile and say,
"So this technique can also be used to break the situation; I was thinking about it too complicatedly..."
At the same time, Kong Chong also feels that the timing is about right, and it is time to release Chen Hang from that five-element world, so as not to ruin the relationship.
Just as this thought arose in his mind,
Kong Chong suddenly feels a pain in his spine, cannot help but shout loudly, his body shakes, and his pupils reveal panic, confusion, and disbelief.
In an instant!
One only sees a five-colored brilliance surging out from Kong Chong's spine, and in the light, Chen Hang's figure sits steadily, solemn and grave, like a divine statue in a temple, already transcending the mundane!
He exerts strength downward with his hand, and Kong Chong instantly feels his body become ten thousand jun heavy, as if carrying several towering mountains on his back; his wings are almost unable to flap, and he falls involuntarily into the dust, stirring up rolling smoke.
And the loud noise roars incessantly, and the surrounding trees collapse one after another, like thunder on dry land, and the momentum is not small!
"Brother Kong, you have lost."
Chen Hang smiles faintly, pinches a seal in his hand, and says.
Unity.
