771: Chapter 771 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (150)

The Purple Gold Python sensed the terrifying power contained within the golden sword blade and a flicker of fear flashed in its eyes. It opened its bloody maw, and a thick beam of purple light shot out, colliding with the golden sword blade.

"Boom!" The golden sword blade and the purple beam of light collided, emitting a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth. The golden Chaos Power, like a tidal wave, continuously devoured and purified the purple energy. Under the erosion of the Chaos Power, the purple beam rapidly dissipated. The golden sword blade did not lose its momentum, slashing fiercely into the body of the Purple Gold Python, carving a wound so deep that the bone was visible, and purple blood poured out like a waterfall.

"Roar!" The Purple Gold Python let out a shrill cry of agony, its massive body rolling frantically on the ground, causing the surrounding stone walls to collapse continuously. It had not expected that this seemingly young human Cultivator before it would possess such powerful strength, capable of injuring its body.

Su Han did not give the Purple Gold Python a chance to catch its breath. With a flash of his figure, he rushed toward the Purple Gold Python once more. He unleashed his Chaos Sword Technique to its limit, and streaks of golden Sword Qi, like a rainstorm, attacked the Purple Gold Python. Each streak of Sword Qi contained the power to purify everything, continuously eroding the body of the Purple Gold Python.

Although the Purple Gold Python was powerful, its body was too massive, making it cumbersome in the narrow underground space and unable to dodge Su Han's attacks. Su Han's body, strengthened by the Indestructible Chaos Body, was extremely fast and reactive, so the Purple Gold Python's attacks could not hit him at all.

With the tide turning, the wounds on the Purple Gold Python grew more numerous, and purple blood covered the ground; its strength was also draining rapidly. It knew that it was no match for this human Cultivator, and if it kept fighting, it would only lead to death.

The Purple Gold Python let out an unwilling roar, its massive body suddenly fleeing toward the depths of the passage, wanting to escape. But how could Su Han let it get away? He flashed in front of the Purple Gold Python, and the chaos sword in his hand once again condensed into a massive golden sword blade, which he swung toward the head of the Purple Gold Python.

"Die!" Su Han shouted coldly. The golden sword blade slashed fiercely into the head of the Purple Gold Python, carving a massive wound that even revealed the skull inside. The Purple Gold Python let out a final cry, its massive body crashing to the ground, its aura vanishing completely, and it lost all signs of life.

An ancient Vicious Beast at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage that had lived for ten thousand years had just been slain by Su Han!

Everyone watched this scene, too shocked to speak, especially the Disciples of the Zixia Sect. They had never imagined that this Cultivator, who looked even younger than them, would possess such terrifying strength, capable of slaying the Purple Gold Python single-handedly.

Fairy Yuehua looked at Su Han, her eyes filled with pride and relief. Her Su Han had truly not disappointed her.

Su Han put away the chaos sword, walked to Fairy Yuehua's side, looked at the purple jade box in her hand, and said, "Junior Martial Uncle, we have obtained the second fragment. Let us go find the third one."

Fairy Yuehua nodded, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Okay, let us go find the third fragment. Su Han, thank you. Thank you for saving me."

Su Han smiled and said, "Junior Martial Uncle, you don't need to thank me. This is what I should do. Together, we will collect all the fragments, reinforce the Seal of the Nether Cold Abyss, and protect the entire Cultivation World."

Su Han and Fairy Yuehua returned to the Zixia Sect with the second fragment of the sealing technique. Perfected Zixia looked at the slain Purple Gold Python and the second fragment they had obtained, feeling deeply moved, and gained a deeper understanding of Su Han's strength. He knew that Su Han was not only someone valued by the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Sect, but also the hope of the entire Cultivation World.

After resting briefly at the Zixia Sect, Su Han and Fairy Yuehua decided to set off immediately for the Five Elements Sect to search for the third fragment of the sealing technique. The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, Immortal Master Five Elements, had already received the message from the Grand Elder and was waiting for their arrival at the Five Elements Sect.

The Five Elements Sect, located in the east of the Cultivation World, was a Sect famous for its Five Elements Spells. The founding Ancestral Master of the Five Elements Sect was a brilliant and talented Cultivator who had fused the powers of the five attributes—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—to create a unique Cultivation Technique of the Five Elements that possessed infinite power. Years ago, after the Ancestral Masters of the five major Sects joined forces to Seal the Lord of the Nether, the third fragment of the sealing technique was handed over to the Ancestral Master of the Five Elements Sect for safekeeping and was sealed within the Secret Realm of the Five Elements Sect—the Five Elements Secret Realm.

After three days of traveling, Su Han and Fairy Yuehua finally arrived at the Five Elements Sect. The mountain gate of the Five Elements Sect was built atop a massive mountain range. Within the mountains, the power of the Five Elements was astonishingly dense, and the Spiritual Qi of the five attributes—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—intermingled to form a peculiar scene. The mountains were shaded by lush trees, rivers encircled the base, the mountain bodies contained rich metal ore veins, and on the Peaks, one could even see magma churning; the power of the Five Elements had reached a perfect balance here.

Immortal Master Five Elements was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, with a sturdy build, a resolute face, and dressed in a colorful Daoist robe; he exuded a powerful Five Elements energy. He led the Elders and elite Disciples of the Five Elements Sect outside the mountain gate to personally welcome the arrival of Su Han and Fairy Yuehua.

"Young Friend Su Han, Fairy Yuehua, you have finally arrived." Immortal Master Five Elements stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute, his tone full of respect, "I have already heard of your deeds in the Qingyun Secret Realm and the Zixia Secret Realm. Young Friend Su Han, to possess such strength and sense of responsibility at such a young age is truly admirable."

Su Han returned the salute and said, "Immortal Master Five Elements, you overpraise me. For the safety of the Cultivation World, this is all my duty. Immortal Master Five Elements, may I ask if the third fragment of the sealing technique is indeed within the Five Elements Secret Realm? And what dangers lie within the Five Elements Secret Realm?"

Immortal Master Five Elements nodded and said with a solemn expression, "That is correct. The third fragment of the sealing technique is indeed in the Five Elements Secret Realm. The Five Elements Secret Realm is where my Sect's Ancestral Master originally sealed the fragment; the power of the Five Elements inside is extremely chaotic and filled with all sorts of dangers. Furthermore, according to the Sect's ancient records, the fragment is guarded by an ancient Divine Beast with five attributes—the Five Elements Qilin."

"Five Elements Qilin?" Fairy Yuehua was shocked. A Qilin was an ancient Divine Beast, far more powerful than the Purple Gold Python, and this was a Five Elements Qilin possessing five attributes; its strength likely surpassed the Soul Transformation Stage, having reached the Void Refining Stage, or perhaps even higher.

Immortal Master Five Elements continued, "The Five Elements Qilin is an ancient Divine Beast that my Sect's Ancestral Master subdued back in the day. It possesses the powers of the five attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and its strength is extremely formidable; even a Cultivator at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage is no match for it. However, the Five Elements Qilin has lived for tens of thousands of years and possesses high intelligence. It will not attack indiscriminately like the Purple Gold Python, but will instead test those who enter the Secret Realm. Only by passing its test can one obtain the fragment."

"A test?" Su Han asked, "What kind of test?" (End of Chapter)
