193: Chapter 193 Reverse Cultivation of the Five Elements

Boom!!!

The earth trembled as cracks spread continuously from beneath the demon's feet.

Watching Ji Yebai approach, the demon suddenly stomped its foot and grinned hideously.

"A mere Saint-tier, don't think too highly of yourself!"

"This Suspicious Mist can even affect the Laws!"

"Your strength is ultimately compromised!!!"

The demon laughed, its crimson tongue licking its lips.

"You don't understand!"

Ji Yebai glanced at him, shook his head with a smile, and then the Five Elements Energy within his body erupted.

"Go!"

His voice was grand and magnificent; the sound of vibration grew from nothing, echoing throughout the entire world.

Ji Yebai raised his hand like a peerless Immortal. The Five Elements True Essence within his body surged, transforming into brilliant lotuses that shot forth.

Immediately after.

Ji Yebai pushed his palm forward.

The five lotuses in the air were like arrows shot from a bow, heading straight for the demon's massive chest.

"Hahaha! Minor tricks, you can't hurt me in the slightest..."

Seeing this, the demon burst into laughter.

He spread his arms wide, surprisingly offering no defense at all, welcoming the five-colored lotuses with his chest.

Boom!!!

The earth shook.

The five lotuses, like sharp arrows, directly pierced through the demon's chest.

The massive force drove the demon backward.

Foul-smelling blood splattered from the demon's chest, dripping onto the ground and instantly contaminating it until it was charred black.

The five brilliant lotuses pierced through the demon's chest and continued shooting behind him.

The demon stomped his foot hard, cracking the earth. Using the counter-shock force, his massive body suddenly seemed nailed to the ground, canceling out the impact brought by the lotuses.

The hole in his chest was mangled and hideous, dripping with gore.

At that moment, the flesh continuously writhed as pitch-black buds of meat intertwined, quickly restoring him to his original state.

But he merely glanced down, then opened his hideous, giant maw and laughed.

The next moment.

His body suddenly sank, and his massive legs exerted explosive power.

Boom!!!

Because his speed was too high, his massive body actually caused the air to distort and blur, creating a series of explosive booms.

His body crossed the distance to Ji Yebai at an unimaginable speed.

Power rises from the ground.

The immense force traveled through his calves, thighs, and waist, condensing into a single surge throughout his entire body.

The resulting force caused the ground behind him to collapse instantly.

Bang!!!

At this rapid speed, the fifty-meter-tall demon erupted with unimaginable power.

Although he mocked Ji Yebai verbally, at this moment, he held nothing back.

Under the intense exertion, the demon's massive body actually expanded again, its pitch-black muscles bulging until dark purple veins seemed ready to burst.

Sharp claws swept through the air, the wind howling as if the entire sky were being torn apart.

Ralva's pupils subconsciously shrank to pinpoints, his mouth hanging open unconsciously.

Even from so far away, the moment the demon erupted, it appeared directly in front of Ji Yebai.

That massive body seemed to have crossed space itself; its speed was simply unimaginable.

This strike far exceeded Ralva's expectations.

The sheer violence of the force made Ralva shiver, even from such a distance.

At the Legendary Stage, one could erupt with unimaginable force, but that was mostly through the explosion of energy.

But the demon before him was erupting with pure strength of the Physical Body at this moment.

Pure physical force was more concentrated and even more terrifying.

Ralva was horrified.

He clearly saw the demon's giant hand sweeping down, carving pitch-black streaks in the air.

In this moment, space itself was being torn open.

"My Lord, be careful!!!"

Ralva couldn't help but cry out.

Although the Saint Realm was stronger in terms of level,

And the energy they unleashed was incredibly terrifying,

A Saint's body was a Law-based body of an energy nature, making it relatively fragile.

This demon's strike could tear space; its force was unimaginable. Such power was something even a Saint's body could not withstand.

In this moment, let alone a Saint, even an Astral Behemoth—renowned for its Physical Body—would be unable to block it.

With such speed and force, Ralva subconsciously began to worry for Ji Yebai.

However.

Ji Yebai did not dodge.

Boom!!!

A massive explosion occurred in the air.

White airwaves spread out in a circle like a tsunami.

The howling shockwave instantly uprooted the dead trees on the ground and reduced them to dust in the next second.

Ralva's eyes widened.

It was his first time seeing that a Saint's Physical Body could actually be this strong.

Those demonic claws, which even an Astral Behemoth wouldn't dare resist with its body, were firmly caught by a single palm.

Boom!!!

Fist and palm collided in the air, the airwaves exploding. At the point where the fist and palm met, the pitch-black Void Realm was even exposed.

Space was completely shattered.

Ji Yebai raised a leg and kicked the surprised demon away.

He carefully sensed the power of his body.

Just now, Ji Yebai had also directly made his body fifty meters tall.

This was the first time he had made himself so massive.

In fact, Ji Yebai had discovered long ago that he was capable of growing larger.

It was like the 'Heavenly Manifestation' from myths.

And none of this was pure energy; it was an application of flesh and blood.

Ji Yebai's Light-converted Cells had many internal folds. As long as they absorbed a large amount of energy in a short time to expand those folds, the entire cell would rapidly enlarge.

And right now, that was exactly what Ji Yebai was doing.

After feeling his own strength, Ji Yebai smiled.

He raised his hand and beckoned to the demon.

The path of Martial Arts, having reached its current stage, was actually not much different from mythology.

Attacking with the help of Laws allowed one to strike from unimaginable distances.

But in truth, the strongest aspect of Martial Arts was still the Physical Body.

A Physical Body that had been tempered a thousand times and was constantly evolving.

Moreover, in Ji Yebai's current path of reverse-deriving Yin and Yang, he was constantly integrating the most Yang and most rigid power into his flesh.

His body was unimaginably hard.

It had been too long since he had fought someone with his fists and feet.

Seeing this demon that could regenerate, he suddenly felt like stretching his limbs.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to see the true nature of a demon.

With a thought from Ji Yebai, the five brilliant lotuses that had been shooting away suddenly stopped in mid-air, then began to slide, eventually occupying five positions to cover the entire field.

"Good!"

The demon licked its crimson tongue. Seeing his strike blocked by the physical strength of the Saint before him had truly given him a shock.

But immediately after, his blood began to boil.

A dry heat filled his entire body, surging through his blood and pounding against his heart, making him increasingly excited and frenzied.

To dare compete with him in physical strength—this human Saint had quite the nerve!

Right then.

The demon went completely berserk.

Flames ignited in his crimson eyes. As his body twisted, a terrifying force like a star exploding erupted. At this moment, pitch-black mist radiated from the demon, and his entire body grew a size larger.

His muscles were hideous, and an aura of bloody terror permeated the air.

He threw a punch!

Every punch was like a nuclear explosion, causing the air to completely scatter.

At this moment, the power of each of his punches was extremely startling.

He stomped his foot, shattering a cliff, which was then pulverized by the wind from his punches.

Countless plumes of pitch-black mist rose from the center of the basin.

Within this mist, the demon's speed increased once again.

In an instant.

Countless black shadows enveloped Ji Yebai.

Those shadows were punches, palms, fangs, claws, the spikes on the demon's arms, and the sweeping long tail he was so proud of.

Demons were naturally tireless monsters, attacking with wide, sweeping motions, drowning their opponents in explosive physical power.

Boom boom boom!!!

A series of terrifying, massive sounds shook the entire space. In this moment, the entire basin began to vibrate and crack.

Ralva watched the scene before him in a daze.

He couldn't describe his current feelings.

He was even a bit lost.

Two fifty-meter-tall behemoths were constantly clashing.

A level-20 typhoon swept across the continent, and the continental shelf even vibrated, beginning to shift.

He wasn't shocked that Ji Yebai had become so large.

Because Saints could become even larger.

A Saint's body was a body of Law energy; it was possible for them to become a hundred meters tall.

What truly shocked him was the Blue Star Saint.

Previously, he couldn't sense Ji Yebai's aura, but now that Ji Yebai was revealing his strength, he clearly felt that lofty and majestic presence.

Along with the loftiness and majesty, there was another kind of aura.

An aura of flesh and blood.

Upon sensing this aura, Ralva was completely stunned.

He had seen Saints unleash their power and transform into hundred-meter giants.

But what he had seen definitely had no aura of flesh and blood.

The aura of flesh and blood was the scent emanated by physical meat.

"How can a Saint... have an aura of flesh and blood!?"

Ralva murmured, his expression almost vacant.

Ralva had already reached the Legendary Peak. To go any further, he could only draw in Laws and enter the metamorphic adaptation period.

Because of this, his knowledge of the Saint Realm was very thorough.

For a Demon Suppressor of his level, the Alliance's relevant data was open to him.

But it was precisely because of this that he was so shaken.

A Saint was an energy body. Even if they shattered their own flesh and blood to form a body mixed with Laws, it was no longer a Physical Body.

Instead, it was an energy body.

And energy cannot emanate the aura of flesh and blood.

"This..."

Ralva stared blankly at Ji Yebai.

He thought of a possibility.

A possibility that had been considered impossible for countless years.

"A new path to the Saint Realm?!"

"Or a Physical Body ascension!?"

Ralva sucked in a breath of cold air.

This time, he was completely shocked.

During the long years since the Alliance's founding, various cultivation civilizations had flourished—those who cultivated the body, those who cultivated the spirit, those who cultivated energy, and even those who cultivated supernatural abilities, and so on.

But in the end, the only one truly proven capable of advancing to the Saint Realm was the path of cultivating the spirit.

Transcending the Physical Body with the spirit, and imprinting the Laws with the spirit.

Thus, the Physical Body could be discarded, while the spirit remained Immortal—that was a Saint.

But right now, what Ji Yebai was displaying was already a completely different path.

Ralva looked up, staring blankly at Ji Yebai.

He knew that the Blue Star Civilization was now incredibly formidable.

A new path of advancement would bring new possibilities, especially when the threat of demons was growing stronger by the day.

...

Boom!

Ji Yebai sent a kick flying. The demon couldn't dodge in time and was instantly sent flying by Ji Yebai.

Although the demon's physical strength was extremely high, Ji Yebai found that its technique was very poor.

It didn't even know the basic principles of exerting force.

It was simply relying on its body's instinctive power to attack.

Seeing this, Ji Yebai lost interest in continuing the exchange.

For a Martial Artist, the joy of a fight comes from a worthy opponent, not a simple beating.

Ji Yebai's kick not only sent the demon flying but also used the explosive method of Inch Power, causing the demon's pitch-black muscles to burst. Even its hard bone spikes were broken.

Although such injuries could be recovered from, the pain deeply stung the demon.

Foul, pitch-black blood fell, corroding the ground into pitted hollows.

The demon's bloodshot eyes spat fire as it growled, "I'm going to eat you..."

He was furious!

To actually fall into a disadvantage in a physical contest.

He could even be said to be getting suppressed.

Relying on his proud, rock-like muscles, he actually couldn't withstand the opponent's fists.

After fighting for so long and throwing countless attacks, he hadn't even scratched the other party.

The intense humiliation drove him into a frenzy.

He erupted again, charging forward with even more frantic speed.

However.

What greeted him.

Was a single fist.

That fist appeared abruptly on his inevitable path, as if he had crashed into it himself.

In the blink of an eye, that massive fist slammed into his face.

An unimaginable force erupted and vented out. The demon suddenly let out a shrill scream, its massive body like a basketball thrown high, landing heavily on the already cracked basin.

Buzz!

The air trembled, and Ji Yebai deactivated his giant form.

He returned to his normal size.

With a movement of his body, he slowly floated up.

"Let's end it here!"

A grand and majestic voice rang out.

The demon had just sat up and looked up to see Ji Yebai suspended in mid-air.

Seeing the demon sit up, Ji Yebai raised his right hand.

Immediately, the brilliant lotuses suspended in the five positions began to rotate.

Along with the rotation, the lotuses began to grow larger.

The next moment.

Chirp!

In the wind-howling basin, a sharp bird cry suddenly rang out.

Blazing red light rose from the center of the massive red lotus.

Above the heart of the lotus, a head as slender as a snake's neck rose, topped with a Phoenix head that contained pride in its eyes!

Atop its head was a massive and magnificent crest.

The Vermilion Bird!

It wasn't just the red lotus; at this moment, the other colored lotuses representing the Five Elements all brought forth a massive beast shadow.

The Five Divine Beasts!

Roar!!!

The five beasts cried out in unison, their massive roars exerting pressure on the world and kicking up sand and stones.

Even so, the changes did not stop.

The moment the Five Divine Beasts appeared.

The five brilliant lotuses erupted with blinding light.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—the five-colored lights began to spread.

Crimson, deep blue, fresh green, earthy yellow, and bright gold—the five lotuses melted in the blinding light, turning into streaks of brilliant light that began to intertwine.

Soon, the five-colored light rose from the five positions, covering the entire basin.

Finally, a massive five-colored light dome was formed.

Ji Yebai sat cross-legged, suspended above the light dome, looking down at the rising demon with absolute calmness.

"Five Elements Reverse Cultivation!"

Boom!!!

The massive Five Elements Divine Beasts suddenly raised their heads and cried out, and as the demon stood on guard, they crashed toward him.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out as the Five Elements erupted. With the demon at the center, a blurred zone was instantly formed.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—the Five Elements underwent a massive collision.

Accompanying the massive collision, wisps of black and white were born.
