Outside the Sword Pavilion.
Huang Taiji stared at the floating sword formation before him and said in a deep voice:
"Cai Longshen, we have already lost the initiative."
Huang Taiji hesitated for a few seconds. He wanted to say that he could overlook the fact that Yi Chuanmei had secretly influenced him. Everyone should work together for one last shot.
But considering Cai Longshen's status as the grandson of the Chief Elder and how he was accustomed to being the center of attention, these words would only enrage him and make him refuse to cooperate.
So he changed his tone, saying:
"Now, the last hope is to awaken the Primordial Heavenly Lord. Actually, if Cai Longshen wasn't afraid to fight and the Primordial Heavenly Lord wasn't asleep, the Lawful faction would have a good chance of winning. No, they would even be guaranteed to win. Because there is a confidante of the Primordial Heavenly Lord in the Evil faction."
"But things are always unpredictable; reality is not a comparison of data; reality is full of variables." Cai Longshen's cold voice came from inside the Sword Pavilion. "That's you. I can leave at any time. For me, a failed instance is just a level drop. I wasn't planning on participating in the year-end Slaughter Instance anyway. Losing a level doesn't matter; I can leave at any time." Huang Taiji frowned, then understood something. "I see." Xiao Yuan said loudly, "Since you can leave at any time, there's even less reason to fight."
"If you win, it's a turn for the better, and if you lose, you're just repeating the original path. But that requires taking risks. Why should I take risks?" Cai Longshen said with a laugh, not being fooled. "Why do you think the Primordial Heavenly Lord can be awakened? Even if he wakes up, can he win against the Evil faction?" The head hanging on Yin Yaojun’s waist bit the small trumpet, "The Primordial Heavenly Lord is a Star Official. When he suppressed the water-attribute fiend, he must have looked at his own face. He knew he could live, so he took a gamble."
"That's why he firmly believes that the Primordial Heavenly Lord can be awakened. If he was certain to die, the Primordial Heavenly Lord wouldn't have chosen this path. Since he did, he must have seen a glimmer of hope in his face. It's just that the subsequent development was unexpected; he's in a state of being neither dead nor alive, unable to wake up." Cai Longshen sneered, "Taking a gamble and turning himself into a living dead. If you could awaken the Primordial Heavenly Lord, why wait until now? You want me to risk my life with an empty promise? No need to waste words; I won't help you."
After saying that, he ignored the two people and one corpse outside the Sword Pavilion. Neither Xiao Yuan nor Yin Yaojun were weak-willed. But seeing that their last helper was indifferent and stood idly by, even they couldn't help but feel despair. "Let's go." Xiao Yuan covered her chest. "Leave." Yin Yaojun followed in silence. Huang Taiji gazed at the Sword Pavilion for a long time, said nothing, and turned to leave.
The Murong family's cemetery was overgrown with weeds, with gray tombstones and lush wild grass complementing each other. Dong dong dong dong, muffled knocking sounds came from inside the stone coffin. The Primordial Heavenly Lord lying inside seemed to have come to life, but Greedy Divine General and the others knew that it wasn't the Five Elements Alliance genius who had come to life, but the water-attribute supernatural entity that had merged into his body. Greedy Divine General raised his blood-colored long saber and fiercely slashed down.
The blade embedded into the stone armor but didn't split it open. He raised the saber again, the muscles in his arm bulging rapidly. He hacked seven times in a row before shattering the power of Qifu and the Mountain God. The hard gray-white stone armor shattered into pieces, revealing the Primordial Heavenly Lord inside. The charred humanoid figure moved violently inside the coffin. A circle of black light rippled from his waist, impacting the stone coffin. The evil classes retreated in unison. Greedy Divine General, having learned his lesson, suppressed his greed for items and didn't dare to approach. Yi Chuanmei avoided it from afar, sensed it intently, and smiled, "There's a soul aura. He's recovering; he's sensing the fierce aura again, feeling the fluctuations of the soul fragments. But he seems unable to leave the Primordial Heavenly Lord's body." Hundred-Man Slayer stared at the violently trembling body. In the past, the fiends inside the previous coffins had emerged on their own the moment the seals were released.
"He's sealed, sealed inside the body by some means by the Primordial Heavenly Lord. What a remarkable junior." Greedy Divine General frowned, forced to face a new problem. "We need to find a way to break the seal." "No... wait a little longer." Yi Chuanmei seemed to sense something and looked toward Murong Fu's mausoleum, her gaze seeming to penetrate the blue stone, seeing the tomb palace. "I can feel something awakening inside." As soon as she finished speaking, as if in response to the water-attribute spiritual power's call,
The Murong family ancestors' tomb palace shook violently, causing the entire cemetery to tremble, as if an earthquake had occurred. Immediately afterward, the stones used to seal the tomb palace exploded with a bang. A ball of red fire emitting high temperatures burst out of the grave. The scorching heat forced Greedy Divine General and the others to retreat again and again. The fireball circled once in the sky above the cemetery and crashed straight down into the stone coffin.
It crashed into the Primordial Heavenly Lord's body. Then, a streak of emerald green light appeared. The green light shone down, and the plants and trees near the forest grew wildly. Savage growth was filled with abundant vitality, dragging faint light into it, merging into the Primordial Heavenly Lord's body. And then a thick, earthy yellow light. The light ball floated out heavily, without any intention, simple and unadorned, slowly and heavily flying toward the stone coffin.
Immediately afterward, at the dark and gloomy tomb palace entrance, a faint white sword energy arrived first, shooting into the Primordial Heavenly Lord's body with a whoosh. At this time, the thick, earthy yellow light ball pressed itself onto the Primordial Heavenly Lord's abdomen and merged into it. Ding! You have successfully gathered the power of the five elements. Divine Sword Manor is sealed. Those who have not arrived will be randomly teleported to any location in the manor.
The final battle begins. Please eliminate the enemy. The The Way of the Extraordinary of the Evil faction simultaneously received a prompt from the Spirit Realm. As the five elements gathered, the coffin alternated flashing white, cyan, black, red, and yellow colors, gradually merging into black and white. They intertwined with each other, and an indescribable, indescribable pressure descended from the sky, shrouding the entire cemetery. A terrifying aura was brewing inside the coffin, as if a terrifying fiend was being born. Another ancient demon has awakened.
"Fall back!" Greedy Divine General's voice was low and agile. This pressure made him feel as if he were directly facing a Heavenly King or encountering an Elder of the Lawful faction. Without a doubt, this was the power of a Dominator-class. At their level, only Dominator-class bosses could control the scene. Sword Pavilion. Ding! The Evil faction has successfully awakened a demon. Divine Sword Manor is sealed. Those who have not arrived will be randomly teleported to any location in the manor. The final battle begins. Please eliminate the enemy.
Cai Longshen stood on the roof of the pavilion, looking toward the cemetery, his gloomy expression revealing seriousness and apprehension. "The Evil faction has completed the main quest; they have successfully awakened a demon." Even from a distance, he still felt that terrifying aura. The aura of a Dominator-class, and it seemed to have a natural suppression effect on him as the Plague God. Just smelling a wisp of that aura made his heart palpitate, causing an indescribable fear. "It's time to leave." Cai Longshen rubbed the copper ring in his palm. He actually realized that he had been tricked, but he would not admit that his selfishness and weakness had been exploited by the enemy, leading to the failure of this instance. The reason he hadn't left yet was just that he was stubbornly waiting for a final result. On the main road of Divine Sword Manor, Jiang Ju cursed as he ran toward the cemetery, gnashing his teeth, "We still lost. I can self-destruct one more time! I can self-destruct one more time!" He followed that terrifying aura. "We guessed wrong." He bit the small trumpet, his voice dejected and low, "They didn't want to extract the power from the Primordial Heavenly Lord's body; they wanted to occupy his body. We have no hope.".... The aura and pressure emanating from the stone coffin made his whole body spasm slightly, and a shivering fear and despair welled up in his heart. Xiao Yuan bit her lip tightly, drawing blood. Huang Taiji sighed. "Life and death are determined by fate." Actually, when Greedy Divine General took the stone coffin away, he had already realized it. When Cai Longshen refused to act and stood by to watch, he had already foreseen the ending.
A clay pot never leaves the steep slope. A general can hardly avoid death in battle. From the day he became The Way of the Extraordinary, he had prepared himself to return to the Spirit Realm. But in the end, he was still unwilling, losing too stifled. Moreover, the black and white colors converged. A charred hand rested on the edge of the coffin, and then a charred humanoid figure sat up. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze empty and dazed. "Who am I? Murong Fu, Murong Long..." The emptiness and confusion in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by cruelty and madness.
"Who I am doesn't matter anymore; I am me, whatever I want!" Greedy Divine General and the others, who had retreated to a distance, exchanged glances and suddenly understood the reason why Murong Long had become possessed. He seemed unable to distinguish whether he was Murong Long or the ancestor Murong Fu. Becoming possessed was not uncommon, but confusing one's identity with that of an ancestor seemed very strange and difficult to understand.
In addition, Murong Wenxing's blood letter mentioned that Murong Long's corpse had already been destroyed by him. His soul and the power of the five elements were dismembered and managed separately by the clansmen. But after the coffin was transported back to Divine Sword Manor, it went straight into Murong Fu's tomb. This detail was originally just considered unreasonable, but now that they saw Murong Long's state, Greedy Divine General and the others realized that Murong Long was probably not simply possessed.
At this time, Murong Long, with a manic expression, opened his mouth and sucked in, and the black and white energies turned into a rolling vortex. Strands of white, black, red, and yellow energy were stripped from the earth, tombstones, plants, and trees of the cemetery and merged into his mouth. The things from which the energy was stripped were either stained gray-white, or turned to sand, or withered, quickly losing color. Greedy Divine General and the other evil classes felt the source power in their bodies rapidly draining and being devoured by Murong Long, immediately shocking them into retreating again and again. "Strange and domineering power," Yi Chuanmei said in a low voice, "This is the characteristic of the fusion of the five elements spiritual power. Does it mean that the five lawful professions can actually merge? The fusion of the five elements can actually devour the power of other professions. It's a truly enviable secret technique. If I could also practice the five elements secret technique..." Greedy Divine General said greedily, "The five elements spiritual power can be fused, but the five lawful professions cannot."
"No one can possess five character cards at the same time. However, I suddenly remembered an intelligence report from many years ago," Yi Chuanmei said. The three retreated while looking at the Greedy Divine General, the Greedy Divine General was famous in The Way of the Extraordinary when they were not adults yet. "The intelligence database of the Soldiers of the Church records that the Five Elements Alliance once gathered scholars to study the power of the five elements. Although the official kept this secret, the number of research groups involved was huge, and it was difficult to keep the secret airtight."
Greedy Divine General recalled this, "It aroused our Soldiers of the Church's attention, and we specially sent agents to collect relevant information. But later, we didn't see any remarkable changes in the Five Elements Alliance, so we gradually stopped paying attention." "Now it seems that the official research was most likely the secret technique of five elements fusion, so the official failed," Hundred-Man Slayer said. "Definitely."
"Just as the Divine General said, no one can possess five character cards unless they practice the five elements secret technique like Murong Long," Yi Chuanmei suddenly said, "Perhaps there is another way." He looked at the five elements suit on the Primordial Heavenly Lord, not Murong Long. Greedy Divine General, Snake Woman, and Hundred-Man Slayer immediately turned their heads to look at Murong Long, their gazes burning. The greed in their eyes was no less than that of the Greedy Divine General. Crackle, crackle, the charcoal blocks on Murong Long's body cracked and fell off, revealing...
