Shushan Earthly Immortal

Chapter 469 Yin Yang and Five Elements, Doing Whatever You Want (Part 1)
Cheng Xinzhan and the green-robed figure faced each other, the former to the west and the latter to the east.

By this time, the sun was already setting in the west, its golden rays tinged with red, like a piece of gold inlaid with jade, painting the western part of the sea of ​​clouds with a bright glow. However, since we were now in the third heaven, without the cover of the western mountains and evening forests, the sunlight was still dazzling, spreading its last rays and heat, making it look like a golden-red ball of charcoal, setting a grand backdrop for the upcoming ultimate battle.

Despite the growing crowd of onlookers, both men possessed exceptional willpower and were not affected by external factors.

"That's it?"

Cheng Xinzhan said.

"This is it."

The man in green robes returned.

So Cheng Xinzhan took action.

He raised his hand and lifted it, revealing the dark void behind him, as if it were an eternal night.

The Taoist priest stepped into the darkness, lowered the curtain of emptiness, and immediately the emptiness returned to its original state, and the Taoist priest disappeared.

With just one move, he astonished everyone watching.

Everyone tried to use their divine eyes to look and scan the void, but no one got any results.

The green-robed man had already witnessed Cheng Xinzhan's void magic, so he wasn't surprised. He simply stood there, ready for battle. Since the two were currently engaged in a magical duel, he didn't need to guess where Guang Hong had disappeared to. The Taoist wouldn't run away; he would only move closer to him. And he didn't need to bother searching; simply guarding the area within three zhang around him was enough.

The green-robed man's plan was correct; the next moment, Cheng Xinzhan made his appearance.

Five zhang behind the green-robed figure, he silently lifted the void, stepped out of the night, and then stretched out his left hand, forming the Demon-Subduing Incantation. Immediately, a five-colored divine light burst forth from his palm, which was none other than the "Five Elements Extinction Divine Light".

The man in the green robe laughed heartily, turned around, and said...

"Master, you've run out of tricks. All you do is spout 'divine light' and 'incantations,' nothing new!"

As he spoke, the green-robed man swung his claws and grabbed at the void in front of him, tearing a crack in the air. He then grabbed the edge of the crack and pulled, creating an opening. At that moment, Cheng Xinzhan's "Five Elements Extinction Divine Light" struck, but he managed to absorb it into the void.

Immediately afterwards, the green-robed man unleashed his "Asura Blade," which transformed into a streak of blood-red light and flew straight towards Cheng Xinzhan.

"Whoosh!"

The blood-red light was extremely fast, arriving in an instant, and struck Cheng Xinzhan, who had just leaped out of the void.

However, despite the attack's apparent success, the green-robed man's expression changed. The flying dagger pierced the Taoist priest without any resistance, as if it had missed its target entirely. Then, in the next instant, just as the green-robed man had predicted, the "Cheng Xinzhan" pierced by the flying dagger slowly became transparent, and after a series of shifting lights and shadows, vanished without a trace, as if it were merely a mirage.

"Illusion?!"

The man in green robes instantly understood, and without hesitation, he turned back to defend. Before he could make a move, he heard a sound beside his ear.
"Tang!"

The green-robed man suddenly understood. This was a wood-element spell. In their last encounter, the Taoist had summoned dragon vines from the void. Those green vines possessed the power of a fourth-level dragon, and were indeed not to be underestimated. It was probably a spell the Taoist had obtained from the Vine Dragon Lord Shiyu. Now that he had entered the fifth level, the power of the vines should have improved further, and perhaps he could truly bind a dragon.

The green-robed man had just mocked the Taoist's divine light and incantations, but he dared not be careless in dealing with them. It was precisely because they were effective that he kept using them, wasn't it?

Therefore, before his head and body had fully turned around, flames began to emerge from his body, burning from the inside out, a blood-red light.

Asura Blood Flame.

Fire overcomes wood, making it the most effective combination.

Moreover, the Green Robe's avatar is indeed extraordinary. Hidden in the second level of the Asura Treasure Vault is a Blood Asura Heart, submerged in magma, preserving its life force. When the Green Robe obtained it, it was still pulsating. He used this Blood Asura Heart to forge his current external avatar. Furthermore, the heart is a fire palace, and blood is fire and water; therefore, this Blood Asura Heart also contains pure Asura blood flames. Although this fire doesn't reach the level of immortal fire, it is still top-tier in the mortal realm.

Therefore, at this moment, with just a thought, the green-robed man unleashed a burst of vibrant blood flames from his heart, leaping out of his body and distorting the surrounding void with heat.

however.

The green vine he had envisioned did not arrive. He turned around and saw that the setting sun now appeared exceptionally large, its afterglow bright and dazzling, the crimson-gold light warming him. However, at that moment, with a Taoist's incantation, those bright rays materialized, and crimson fire lines gradually appeared in the sunlight, as if they had always been within the light. These crimson-gold sunlight fire lines were not afraid of the Asura Blood Flame's burning, and with lightning speed, they descended upon him, binding him tightly.

Is this a method of using wood to control fire?

The man in green robes didn't react for a moment.

Where is the Taoist priest? Where is he now?

All the green-robed man could see was the sun.

"Zhao!"

Immediately afterwards, another incantation rang out in the void.

At this moment, the green-robed man's gaze sharpened. He listened to the sound and located its source, then looked up at the sky and activated his divine eye, which flashed with blood-red light.

Over there!

The man in the green robe saw a figure in the center of the huge golden-red halo in the sky, standing tall and straight like a pine or bamboo.

He hid in the sunlight!

However, as the Taoist chanted his new incantation, the sunlight became exceptionally dazzling, not only making the fire lines on the green-robed figure thicker, denser, and harder to escape, but also making it impossible to look directly at the sun. Even with the green-robed figure's magical power and pupil techniques, he felt a sudden blinding light in his eyes, instinctively closed them, and at the same time, lost sight of the Taoist.

The next instant, the green-robed man felt a sword intent rushing towards him like a storm. He forced his eyes open and saw that the crimson-gold sunlight had transformed into slender, shimmering sword threads, piercing towards him. In addition to the brightness, there was also the scorching heat of yang fire and the sharpness of gen metal. Whatever he looked at seemed to pierce his eyeballs, making it difficult to look at for long, and he immediately closed his eyes again.

Is this a sword technique using light magic?

The man in the green robe was surprised and suspicious.

But seeing that for a moment was enough; the green-robed man once again summoned his door-shaped magic weapon. The magic weapon was three zhang wide, five zhang high, and more than two chi thick, appearing to be made of red copper, with what seemed to be flowing blood on its surface. The door was covered with dense golden nails, and the door knocker was made of two Asura demon masks, each holding a golden ring in its mouth, looking very majestic and imposing.

This treasure was also taken by the Green Robe from the Asura Treasury, specifically the gate to the second level. The red-haired Green Robe was blocked by this very gate years ago, unable to enter. At the time, there was a sign on the gate stating that one must master the techniques of the first level of the treasury and use Asura magic to open it. Later, when the Green Robe returned, he had mastered the "Asura Burning Blood Flame," infusing it with Asura magic, and successfully opened the gate, gaining exclusive access to the second level's secret treasure. As he left, the Green Robe suddenly realized that the gate itself must also be a treasure, after all, it was the very thing that had kept two fourth-realm dragon descendants outside.

So, the green-robed man attempted to refine it using his Asura magic. As expected, it was indeed a wondrous treasure, combining offense and defense, but it didn't have a name, so the green-robed man called it "Asura Gate".

The Asura Gate was extremely tall, blocking the way in front of the green-robed man. As soon as it was unleashed, a storm of wind and rain sword threads arrived.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

A series of dense and sharp striking sounds rang out, like the music of a pipa.

This magical artifact was indeed remarkable. Although it quickly developed dents from the sword threads' strikes, it was never pierced. And "Peach Capital" is now a celestial treasure, yet this bronze door could still withstand it. Furthermore, as the bronze door flashed with blood-red light, the dents on it were instantly repaired, becoming smooth again.

Seeing this, Cheng Xinzhan changed his sword technique, and the sword threads bypassed the bronze door, striking the green-robed man behind the door from all sides.

At this moment, the blade that Green Robe had thrown out flew back, rolling past Green Robe's body and severing the golden threads of fire one by one.

Just then, golden threads appeared, swirling around the door. The man in green slammed his hand on the door, and two door knockers spat out golden rings from their mouths. The rings flew out, multiplying into ten, then a hundred, until they filled the sky in the blink of an eye, all to stop the golden threads.

Immediately afterwards, the two door knockers flew out of the door and transformed into two Asura ghost heads, which pounced on the Taoist standing in the sun wheel.

The bronze door opened, revealing only a crack, and the green-robed figure flew out, following the two Asura ghost leaders to find the Taoist priest. The green-robed figure knew that the Taoist priest's magic was formidable, while his Asura body excelled in close combat, and he couldn't let the Taoist priest keep him at a distance; he needed to get close.

At this moment, the green-robed figure used his magic to condense a halberd shaft. The "Blood-Weeping Halberd" obtained from the Asura Treasury was now fitted onto the shaft, transforming it from a flying blade back into a handheld long weapon. Undoubtedly, such a long weapon was more suitable, both for the green-robed figure's own weapon-wielding habits and for the compatibility of this Asura avatar.

As the green-robed figure flew away, "Peach Capital," eager to protect its master, tried to pursue and stop it, so it flew out through the crack in the door. But at that moment, the door slammed shut again, blocking the flying sword. Then, the golden rings wrapped around it, keeping the flying sword in place.

"Flood!"

Just as the green-robed man and the Asura Ghost Leader were approaching menacingly, the Taoist priest chanted incantations again.

Water method?

Is it still a water-based method?
The man in the green robe was unsure, and because he was unsure, he couldn't prepare a countermeasure in advance. He could only find out what kind of spell it was once the spell took effect and drew upon the spiritual energy.

The next instant, ripples appeared in the void, the afterglow of the setting sun surged like waves, and the crimson-gold sunset spread out like a tide, rushing out from the west and from the red sun, revealing a shimmering, golden expanse, brilliant and magnificent. Amidst the chanting of incantations, the radiant light surged and rolled, then solidified, transforming into a raging golden sea of ​​fire, rushing towards the green-robed figure and the Asura demon head like a flood.

really!

It's another instance of using water magic to inflict fire magic!

In the private room of the West Gate Tower in Bailing City.

At this moment, besides Mu Guanghan and Fa Wujiu, there was another person in the room. This person wore a tall crown and magnificent clothes, with a handsome appearance and an aura that surpassed even Mu Guanghan's. He was none other than Qian Boya, the city lord of Peacock City in southeastern Baiyujing and the patriarch of the Qian clan.

The five cities and twelve towers of Baiyujing are all interconnected, sharing resources and even being related by marriage. This is how they were able to reside in the heavens for so long and preserve their vast wealth. The heads of each family also have very good personal relationships. Qian Boya heard that the Grand Master was fighting with the Green Robe, so he came to watch the spectacle and sought out Mu Guanghan.

The three kept a close eye on the battle. Fortunately, the "Hundred Spirits Medicinal Wine" was magical enough that it could be drunk directly by smelling, without needing to be taken orally, and even the primordial spirit could absorb it to nourish the divine mind. So the room was filled with the aroma of wine, and the three could enjoy the wine while watching the battle.

Just then, Mu Guanghan said,
“Fellow Daoist, is the Great Master truly in harmony with the earth’s energy? You saw it yourself, how intimately the sun is with him, he is certainly not in harmony with the sunlight?”

Fa Wujiu laughed upon hearing this.

"You didn't see the master use astrology. When the time comes, you might start to doubt whether he was actually using starlight."

Mu Guanghan listened, shaking his head in admiration, then muttered to himself,

"Does such a person truly exist in this world?"

Beside him, Qian Boya witnessed Cheng Xinzhan using fire spells for escape and swordsmanship, and then using wood and water spells to unleash fire magic. She was deeply impressed and exclaimed in admiration.
"Master, you have already reached the realm of 'freedom and ease' in the Five Elements, far surpassing me. In my entire life, I have only witnessed this realm in one of my great-uncles. But even that great-uncle reached such a level at the age of eight hundred, and soon after, he ascended to heaven as a celestial being."

Qian Boya was deeply troubled, for sixty years ago, this great master had made his debut in a sword duel before Peacock City. At that time, the great master was merely a minor cultivator who had just entered the first realm. Although his talent was already astonishing and had attracted the attention of the immortal sword, and Qian Boya had sincerely invited him to visit Peacock City more often, she never imagined that the young Taoist would reach such heights in such a short time.

After the contest concludes, we should invite the Grand Master to Peacock City again to give a lecture to the younger generation of the clan. I'm sure he'll be interested in the gifts I've prepared.

Qian Boya thought so.

Fa Wujiu was even more pleased to hear Qian Boya say this. The Qian family of Peacock City were renowned throughout the land as experts in manipulating the Five Elements. Since he himself had said this, even comparing the scripture master to an eight-hundred-year-old immortal, the praise was exceptionally high and seemed particularly sincere.

He was about to offer a few words of modesty in return, but seeing the battle situation change again, he quickly shut his mouth and focused intently on the situation. The other two, unsurprised, also watched with equal concentration.

Seeing the fiery clouds burning over the sky, Green Robe was also shocked by Cheng Xinzhan's ability to control the celestial phenomena. A single ray of sunlight could be made to appear, disappear, entangle, or pierce in his hands, and now it could even be transformed into a sea of ​​fire that swept across the sky. It was truly unbelievable. Hadn't he already merged with the earth energy of Redwood Ridge?
Furthermore, his manipulation of the five elements and his chanting and spellcasting have reached a level of near-unfettered control, making him completely unpredictable. And this is only in the heavens; imagine what would happen if he were in his own underground temple?
As the blazing sun approached, the green-robed man forcibly suppressed his anxiety. He knew he had to deal with the immediate battle first; there was no other way to handle things. Besides, the sky wasn't just filled with the sun; when it came to utilizing celestial phenomena, the dragon race was certainly no slouch either!
The man in green robes adjusted his mindset, formed a hand seal with one hand, and chanted a spell, but the chant was high-pitched and long, not a human voice.

Cheng Xinzhan, hidden in the sunlight, recognized it as a dragon incantation. His self-comprehended Tian Shu acupoint supernatural power, "Dragon's Roar," was actually a special kind of dragon incantation. Moreover, he had often secluded himself in Tiecha Mountain and occasionally went down to the Yellow Sea to discuss Dao with the Dragon Lord and the Prince, so he had come into contact with dragon incantations before. Although he didn't know many, he didn't have much trouble recognizing them.

The green-robed man's voice must have been a spell to summon wind.

What happened next confirmed that Cheng Xinzhan had not misheard. Suddenly, the sea of ​​clouds in the third level beneath their feet began to surge, like a gushing spring or boiling water.

"call--"

A tremendous wind howled, tearing a hole in the sea of ​​clouds, and a roaring hurricane shot straight up into the sky, heading directly towards the sea of ​​fire descending from above.

The green-robed figure summoned the fierce winds of the second heaven!
