79: The five elements perished, entering the formation together.

The Five Elements generate each other, forming a continuous cycle of Formation energy to maintain the operation of the grand Formation.

The Five Elements overcome each other, evolving into the power of slaughter and enhancing the prowess of the Formation.

The Great Dao of Yin and Yang operates, regulating the flow of the Formation's energy.

The Daos of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang are inherently very compatible with the Dao of Formations.

And now that the two of them have joined forces, all sorts of changes can be broken with ease.

"Immortal Extermination Gate, break!"

With the breach of the Immortal Extermination Gate, Luo Hou once again rotated the Formation Chart, and the four gates of the sword Formation shifted positions again.

Having first broken the Immortal Execution Gate and then the Immortal Extermination Gate, Five Elements' wariness toward the Zhu Xian Sword Array had diminished significantly.

"Hahaha, Luo Hou, your Zhu Xian Sword Array is nothing more than this!"

Yin and Yang was also able to relax his mind slightly.

"You made such a big scene, and this is all you've got? It seems this poor Daoist once thought too highly of you in vain."

Facing the ridicule of the two, Luo Hou stood atop the Black Lotus, his Demonic Pupils cold, yet he did not respond.

Seeing him remain silent, Five Elements sneered even more and turned to Yin and Yang, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yin and Yang, it seems this Zhu Xian Sword Array does not live up to its name. It merely relies on the ferocity of the four swords, but in truth, it is quite shallow. If the two of us join forces, breaking the Formation will be as easy as flipping one's palm!"

Yin and Yang nodded slightly, his tone leisurely, "Luo Hou, if you withdraw the Formation and admit defeat now, you might still save some face. Otherwise, once we have broken through all four gates, what little face you have left will be completely lost."

While their mouths never stopped mocking, it did not delay their progress in breaking the Formation.

Entering another gate, Five Elements raised his hand and sacrificed the Five Elements Diagram. Five-colored radiance swept out, actually forcing back the scarlet sword light of the Immortal Trapping Gate.

Although the two had only seen through the changes of the Formation and had not truly managed to seize the swords and break the Formation, it was still a significant humiliation for Luo Hou.

Five Elements said loudly, "Luo Hou, if your sword Formation only has this much capability, you might as well admit defeat early to avoid becoming a laughingstock!"

Luo Hou remained silent, only the Evil Qi of the God-Slaying Spear in his hand became increasingly intense, as if he were brewing the final Killing Intent.

The Formation Chart shifted again, and the final gate descended.

"This time it should be the Immortal Slaying Gate. I wonder what kind of changes it holds."

"No matter the change, it cannot escape the wonders of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang."

Just as the two were once again studying the subtleties of the Formation, a dark shadow suddenly appeared ahead.

"Then what about me!"

A voice as low as it could be rang out. Luo Hou, holding the God-Slaying Spear, appeared abruptly within the Formation.

Before Five Elements could react, he saw a pitch-black spear light pierce through like nether lightning. The sharpness of the God-Slaying Spear pierced through the Void Realm, pointing straight at his chest.

"Five Elements, watch out!" Yin and Yang Old Ancestor's pupils shrank suddenly. The taiji diagram manifested abruptly, and the Yin and Yang Qi transformed into a barrier to block the attack.

However, he was a step too late after all. The God-Slaying Spear had already pierced through Five Elements' protective divine light. The tip of the spear emerged from his back, and Dao blood sprayed out, every drop containing the Origin of the Five Elements that could crack the heavens and earth.

"Luo Hou, you..." Five Elements Daoist's body shook violently. He looked down at the God-Slaying Spear piercing through his chest; the destructive dao rhyme coiled around the spear was frantically eroding his Primordial Spirit.

He laughed out of extreme anger, golden light surging in his eyes, "Good for you, Luo Hou! To actually commit such a despicable act!"

Luo Hou sneered, his Demonic Pupils showing no emotion, "The Zhu Xian Sword Array is inherently a Formation of slaughter. How can there be talk of despicability? If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too conceited."

Before his voice had finished, the Evil Qi of the God-Slaying Spear surged again. Five Elements Daoist's body began to crack inch by inch, and his five-colored Dao Fruit scattered like shifting sand.

Yin and Yang Daoist's eyes were nearly splitting. The taiji diagram transformed into a ten-thousand-foot golden bridge and crashed toward Luo Hou, only to be blocked layer by layer by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi.

He watched helplessly as Five Elements' figure gradually became illusory. This old rival, who had engaged in Dao Discussion and competition with him since the Chaos until the Primordial World, was actually going to fall here today!

"Fellow Daoist Yin and Yang..." Five Elements Daoist suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with determination, "It seems today, this poor Daoist will have to take the first step!"

Before his voice faded, a blinding divine light suddenly erupted from all over his body. His five-colored Dao Fruit exploded like a scorching sun; he had actually chosen to self-detonate.

Boom—

The Five-Colored Divine Light swept out like a torrent. The entire Zhu Xian Sword Array shook violently, and the Chaos Sword Qi within the Formation was briefly dispersed.

At the cost of his own fall, Five Elements Daoist transformed a remaining strand of his Origin into a stream of light, breaking through the blockade of the sword Formation and heading toward a certain direction in the Primordial World.

"Luo Hou, I want your life!" Yin and Yang's hair and beard were all flared out. The taiji diagram spun frantically, and the Yin and Yang Qi went completely out of control.

He no longer had his usual calm; his eyes were filled with nothing but heaven-toppling Killing Intent. After so many eons of friendship and years of Dao Discussion, Five Elements had actually fallen before his eyes like this!

Luo Hou snorted coldly, sweeping the God-Slaying Spear, demonic flames billowing, "Yin and Yang, do you think you can do anything to this seat?"

"Even if my Dao dissipates and I die today, I will drag you down to the Infinite Hell with me!"

Yin and Yang Daoist was completely crazed. The taiji diagram no longer defended but instead transformed into a heaven-covering millstone. Yin and Yang were thrown into Chaos, and heaven and earth were overturned; he intended to perish together with Luo Hou!

But the Formation changed again, and Luo Hou had already appeared in the center of the Formation.

As that brilliant Five-Colored Divine Light protected a wisp of Origin and broke out of the Formation, Hongjun and the others finally calculated the location of the sword Formation's weakness.

The sword Formation changed in an instant, but the four swords anchoring the Formation could not be faked.

Four people were needed to enter the Formation together and pull out the four swords simultaneously to truly break the Formation.

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements..."

Hongjun sighed slightly with emotion, but he no longer hesitated, entering the Formation together with Yang Mei and Qiankun.

Upon entering the Formation, they saw Yin and Yang, disregarding the Dao injuries on his body, frantically driving the taiji diagram and chasing after Luo Hou.

But Luo Hou was everywhere in this Formation; he could not catch up after all.

"Fellow Daoist, breaking the Formation is the priority!"

Hongjun's words finally woke Yin and Yang, and then the four of them entered the four gates of the Formation respectively.

Yang Mei entered the Immortal Extermination Gate, Qiankun entered the Immortal Slaying Gate, Yin and Yang entered the Immortal Trapping Gate, and Hongjun entered the Immortal Execution Gate, which had the most ferocious might.

With Five Elements' demonstration earlier, the few of them originally thought that breaking this Formation should not be difficult.

Little did they know that it was only because Yin and Yang and Five Elements had combined their strength to break one gate that it seemed easy.

Now that each person had to deal with the changes of one gate alone, they finally realized the viciousness of this Formation.

Although they had precious treasures for protection, the highly condensed Killing Intent continued to erode their Dao bodies. Soon, several of them were covered in wounds.

But fortunately, they all arrived at the locations of the four swords at the same time.

At this point, no matter how Luo Hou shifted the Formation, the four swords ultimately could not be moved.

"Pull out the swords, break the Formation!"

The group prepared to take the swords from their respective gates simultaneously.

Luo Hou's figure reappeared, whispering a few words to Yin and Yang.

Although it was only an illusion, Yin and Yang once again disregarded everything to chase and kill him.

Little did he know that he had missed the best opportunity to break the Formation.

"Not good!"

The next moment, the four gates changed again, and everyone had to break the Formation once more.

At this moment, Luo Hou's true body suddenly appeared. The God-Slaying Spear, carrying heaven-toppling demonic evil, pierced through like a bolt of black lightning toward the back of Daoist Qiankun's heart!

Daoist Qiankun was focusing all his strength on suppressing the Immortal Sword, never expecting that Luo Hou could ignore the rules of the Formation and directly launch a sneak attack.

"Fellow Daoist Qiankun, watch out!" Hongjun shouted sternly from within the Immortal Execution Gate. The pangu banner suddenly swept out a strand of Chaos Sword Qi, but it was too late to save him.

Pfft!

The God-Slaying Spear pierced through Daoist Qiankun's chest, the destructive dao rhyme instantly eroding his Primordial Spirit.

Daoist Qiankun gave a muffled groan and actually revealed a tragic smile. Seizing the moment, he resolutely self-detonated.
