780: Chapter 780 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (159)

Five-colored rays of light intertwined above the altar, like five giant Dragons of different colors churning in the air.

The red Fire power was scorching and violent, the blue Ice power was bone-chillingly cold, the golden Metal power was incomparably sharp, the green Wood power was vibrant with life, and then there was that other blue fragment, exuding an aura completely different from the Xuanbing Valley fragment on the ground—that was the Water power, gentle and profound.

The Five Elements power, generating and overcoming each other.

Su Han felt the power contained within the five fragments surging outwards crazily; the five distinct powers collided in his palms, emitting a crackling sound.

His hands began to tremble, not out of fear, but because the backlash from the five powers was simply too strong; even with his Indestructible Chaos Body, he felt immense pressure.

"Steady your mind!" Immortal Master Xuan Qing's deep voice rang in his ears. "The Five Elements Fusion Array will help you bear most of the backlash, but you must maintain the continuous output of Chaos Power; it cannot be interrupted. Once interrupted, the Five Elements power will lose its balance, the fragments will shatter completely, and they will never be able to undergo Fusion again!"

Su Han gritted his teeth and frantically circulated the Chaos Power within his body.

Golden light surged out from his body, flowing down his arms into the five fragments, forcibly wrapping the five distinct powers together.

The runes on the altar grew brighter and brighter, almost to the point of being blinding.

The stone pillars at the four corners emitted a humming vibration. The Dragon-shaped patterns on the pillars had completely come to life, transforming into four light Dragons circling around the altar. They opened their mouths, spewing out the four powers of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, pushing the power of the Five Elements Fusion Array to its limit.

With the help of the Five Elements Fusion Array, Su Han felt that the pressure had lessened significantly.

Although the five powers were still struggling, they were no longer as violent as they had been at the beginning.

He took a deep breath and began to guide the Five Elements power to align in the order of generation, following the method Immortal Master Xuan Qing had previously taught him.

The Five Elements generate each other: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water generates Wood.

This was a cycle, a perfect closed loop.

Su Han first guided the power of the Wood fragment.

The Wood fragment emitted a green light; that power was full of vitality and life, like a tender sprout in spring, stubbornly breaking through the soil.

Su Han used his Chaos Power to wrap around the Wood power, guiding it towards the Fire fragment.

Wood generates Fire.

The moment the Wood power met the Fire fragment, the flames of the Fire fragment surged violently. Red light shot into the sky, and the scorching high temperature caused the temperature of the entire underground space to rise abruptly.

Fairy Yuehua and Master Wanjian both had to retreat a few steps, circulating their Spiritual Qi to resist this heatwave.

Su Han's clothes were soaked with sweat, but his gaze remained firm.

He guided the expanded Fire power towards the Earth fragment.

Fire generates Earth.

The moment the Fire power surged into the Earth fragment, the Earth fragment emitted a heavy yellow light; that power was as steady as a mountain, giving one a feeling of being indestructible.

Su Han felt his Chaos Power become more solid and heavy under the reinforcement of the Earth power.

Next was Earth generates Metal.

The Earth power surged into the Metal fragment, and the golden light became sharper and more piercing.

The Tianzhu Sword Spirit's Metal fragment seemed to sense its master's aura, emitting a clear sword hum. That Sword Intent shot straight into the clouds, causing even a great Cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage like Immortal Master Xuan Qing to be moved.

Then was Metal generates Water.

The Metal power surged into the Water fragment, and the Water fragment emitted a gentle blue light; that power was gentle and profound, as inclusive of all things as the vast ocean.

The addition of the Water power made the entire Five Elements cycle become more fluid and harmonious.

Finally was Water generates Wood.

The Water power surged into the Wood fragment, completing the first cycle of the Five Elements generating each other.

The five fragments lit up simultaneously, and the five-colored rays of light intertwined to form a white pillar of light.

This pillar of light shot up from the center of the altar, piercing through the underground rock layers and the main peak of the Qingyun Sect, straight into the clouds.

All the Disciples of the Qingyun Sect saw this pillar of light.

They did not know what had happened, but they could feel that powerful force; that power filled them with awe, and some even knelt down involuntarily.

"It's done!" A flash of joy crossed Immortal Master Xuan Qing's eyes, but it quickly became grave again.

Although the cycle of the Five Elements generating each other had been established, this was only the first step.

The truly difficult part was to completely fuse the five fragments together, so that they would no longer be five independent entities, but become a whole—the complete Sealing Technique.

Su Han felt unprecedented pressure.

Maintaining the cycle of the Five Elements generating each other required a continuous output of Chaos Power, which was already a huge burden for him, and the Spiritual Qi required to push the five fragments to truly fuse was an astronomical figure.

He felt his Dantian was like a pool being constantly drained, with Spiritual Qi being consumed at an astonishing rate.

At this rate, his Spiritual Qi would be exhausted in at most the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"This won't do, I can't hold on like this." This thought flashed through Su Han's mind, but he had no way out.

Once he stopped, the Five Elements power would lose balance, the fragments would shatter, the painstaking efforts of countless Seniors over tens of thousands of years would be wasted, and the Cultivation World would lose its last chance.

He gritted his teeth, desperately squeezing every bit of Spiritual Qi within his body.

The Origin power of the Indestructible Chaos Body began to take effect.

Su Han's body began to emit a dazzling golden light; the light grew brighter and brighter, almost enveloping his entire being.

His blood was boiling, his bones were trembling, his Meridians were expanding, and every cell was frantically absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, converting it into Chaos Power.

But even so, the consumption of Spiritual Qi still exceeded the speed of replenishment.

Su Han's face grew paler and paler, veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat fell like beads from a broken string.

His hands began to tremble, the output of Chaos Power became unstable, and the balance of the Five Elements power began to fluctuate.

"Not good!" Immortal Master Xuan Qing's expression changed; he saw Su Han's predicament.

Fairy Yuehua also saw that something was wrong; she looked at Su Han anxiously, wishing she could rush up to help him.

But she also knew that fusing the fragments was Su Han's battle alone, and others could not help at all.

Forcibly intervening would only make the situation worse.

"Su Han, hold on!" Fairy Yuehua said loudly, her voice trembling.

Su Han heard Fairy Yuehua's voice, but he could no longer spare the effort to answer.

All his energy was concentrated on maintaining the Five Elements cycle; he didn't even have the strength to say a single word.

His consciousness began to blur, and the world before his eyes began to twist.

He felt as if his Soul was about to be torn apart; that pain was not physical, but a sharp agony from the depths of his Soul. (End of chapter)
