78: Raise the Five Elements

After an unknown amount of time, the screams from beneath the earth gradually subsided, and the boiling Earth Element no longer turned the entire land into a cage.

Thousands of monsters were all buried deep underground.

No, to be precise, there was still an old ape, still fighting with the Dao Soldiers.

This old ape was too strong, having already entered the Dao Embryo Realm. Even when surrounded and attacked by thirteen Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, he still couldn't be taken down in a short period of time.

The Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, who were a rank weaker than the Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, couldn't even get close. Just approaching would be swept away by the old ape's terrifying demonic energy. So in the end, only the thirteen Golden Body of Undying Golden Armor Dao Soldiers remained, continuously surrounding and attacking.

"I hate that this old man is old and not like he was back then, otherwise you mud Puppets, this old man would surely smash you all to pieces!" The old ape let out his final roar: "But Human Race, the Demon Clan of my Ancient Demon Realm, are not to be slaughtered at will. Just wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, the exhausted old ape was completely beaten to death on the spot by the thirteen Dao Soldiers.

"The Dao Embryo Realm is indeed the Dao Embryo Realm, truly difficult to kill!" Lu Chen emerged from the depths of the earth, looking at the old ape who finally fell in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Thirteen Golden Armor Dao Soldiers surrounded and attacked him, primarily using the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art, with the earth as their main battlefield and the Earth Element as their source. Even then, it took this much effort to beat this old ape to death!

If this old ape wasn't truly old, it would probably take even longer to completely surround and kill him. If he wasn't underground, he might even have been able to escape.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Who told this old ape to rely on his Dao Embryo Realm strength and deliberately plunge into the Dao Soldiers' main battlefield, knowing there was something wrong beneath the earth.

However, it was also thanks to this old ape, this useless teammate, otherwise the remaining thousand or so monsters, the Dao Soldiers might not have been able to take them all down, because those monsters were forced by this old ape to kill their way underground.

It's worth mentioning that the injured Tiger Demon who gave Lu Chen his soul imprint also escaped underground, but before he could even use his remaining strength, Lu Chen crushed his soul imprint with a pinch, killing him dead as can be.

Finally, Lu Chen began to clean up the battlefield. The smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed no matter what, and the more he cleaned, the more excited he became.

Monster Corpses, there were Monster Corpses everywhere. Although most of them were monsters in the Qi Condensation Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm, there were also quite a few in the Penetrating Aperture Realm, and no lack of those in the Profound Law Realm, and even an old ape in the Dao Embryo Realm.

At the very least, he could nurture one Five Elements Dao Soldiers, or even two Five Elements Dao Soldiers!

After half an hour, all the Monster Corpses underground were collected by Lu Chen into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

"Let's start with one Five Elements Dao Soldiers." Lu Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart, directly withdrew a Golden Armor Dao Soldier, and began to absorb the old ape's Monster Corpse as nourishment, aiming for a Breakthrough to Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

He also withdrew another Golden Armor Dao Soldier and gave all the more than forty Profound Law Realm Monster Corpses to this Dao Soldier.

He wanted to try and see if these more than forty Profound Law Realm monsters could accumulate enough to create a Five Elements Dao Soldiers!

"It should be possible, it must be possible!" Lu Chen's palms were sweating slightly.

These were over forty Profound Law Realm Monster Corpses! They were enough to reliably nurture over forty Golden Armor Dao Soldiers. If he couldn't accumulate enough for a Five Elements Dao Soldiers, then he would suffer a huge loss.

After all, most of his current Dao Soldiers were still Silver Armor Dao Soldiers.

However, next, his Silver Armor Dao Soldiers should also rapidly decrease, and they would all be promoted to Golden Armor Dao Soldiers.

Because in addition to the more than forty Profound Law Realm Monster Corpses, the remaining Monster Corpses would all be used by Lu Chen to promote the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers.

It's just that the thousand or so Monster Corpses have a lot of water, with many being in the Qi Condensation Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm. When used to promote Silver Armor Dao Soldiers to Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, the quality is quite poor, so he can only rely on quantity.

Furthermore, he is currently still within this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb and could encounter danger at any time. It is definitely not possible to nurture all the Dao Soldiers, so he can only take it slow.

Currently, Lu Chen has two Golden Armor Dao Soldiers in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, attempting to break through to Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

He also has three Silver Armor Dao Soldiers attempting to break through to Golden Armor Dao Soldiers. The remaining Dao Soldiers cannot be moved.

Lu Chen, who had been thinking of nurturing Dao Soldiers while continuing to kill demons, suddenly fell into hesitation and finally decided: "No, to be safe, it's better to wait until my Five Elements Dao Soldiers are nurtured before going out!"

He accidentally fished out an old ape in the Dao Embryo Realm here. What if he was unlucky next time and directly encountered two or even three Dao Embryo Realm monsters?

His life is his own, and he only has one. It's better to be careful.

Besides, the harvest this time is already large enough. It's not too late to kill demons after fully digesting it and significantly increasing the strength of all the Dao Soldiers.

Anyway, entering the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb this time gives him ten days, so it's not a big deal to spend these few days nurturing the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

Having made up his mind, Lu Chen no longer went out and began to meditate and cultivate directly underground, while waiting for the Five Elements Dao Soldiers to be nurtured.

During this period, Lu Chen directly withdrew ten more Silver Armor Dao Soldiers into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, and began to absorb the Monster Corpses, aiming to be promoted to Golden Armor Dao Soldiers.

From the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, a mysterious power was fed back at all times, strengthening his Physical Body, making his physical strength stronger and stronger, while his Qi Condensation cultivation was also approaching the Penetrating Aperture Realm.

…………

On a certain demon mountain.

Li Jinyi, wearing a jade crown and a sky-blue long robe, sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. The aura on his body constantly fluctuated, becoming stronger and stronger, more and more vigorous.

Finally, at a certain moment, his constantly strengthening aura completely reached a certain peak, and then the waves surged, rising to a higher level.

In an instant, an aura surpassing the Profound Law Realm erupted from his body, astonishingly powerful. Even the old ape that Lu Chen had surrounded and killed with thirteen Golden Armor Dao Soldiers underground was not as strong as Li Jinyi at this moment.

"Finally, I have broken into the Dao Embryo Realm!" Li Jinyi slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as an abyss and as calm as a lake.

"Then, it's time to settle some scores with Junior Brother Lu, my good Senior Brother!" By the end of his sentence, Li Jinyi was almost enunciating each word.

Lu Chen beating Fan Sheng until half his body disappeared, and even incurring the punishment of the Sword Fighting Peak Lord, Third Elder, and how miserable he was in the end, Li Jinyi didn't really care much about it.

But what absolutely should not have happened was that this matter also involved him.

Fan Sheng was his person. The many Disciples of Doujian Peak knew, and the Third Elder naturally knew as well.

But the punishment the Third Elder finally gave clearly favored Lu Chen. What did this represent?

This represented that the Third Elder was dissatisfied with Li Jinyi and was using Fan Sheng to warn him. And to tell him one thing, Lu Chen was also a person the Peak Lord, Third Elder valued, and Li Jinyi's hand should not reach out to Lu Chen.

Otherwise, the lightning whip would not be whipping Fan Sheng next time, but Li Jinyi.

What made Li Jinyi even more dissatisfied and extremely angry was Lu Chen's talent in the Puppet Technique, which was truly amazing. He saw the marvel of his Puppets clearly.

He saw Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers swallowing ten thousand ghosts in the Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram, and he saw Lu Chen sweeping through the two major sects of Yuan Province and Qing Province with his own strength when the three sects gathered. He even knew that even if he was at the Great Perfection of the Profound Law Realm, he was no longer Lu Chen's opponent.

Therefore, he had been silently watching Lu Chen display his Divine Might in front of all the Dongming Sect Disciples, while he could only bury his head lower and deeper.

Fortunately, in this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, on this demon mountain at his feet, he encountered a 'tongming flower'. Thus, he, who was already only one step away, broke through and completely ascended to the Dao Embryo Realm.

Then, what did Lu Chen count for?

"In this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, it doesn't seem strange for a Doujian Peak Disciple to disappear, does it!" Li Jinyi calmly stood up and walked out of the demon mountain. At his feet were bloody Monster Corpses, one after another!
