Primordial Era: Starting with Self-Created Mythical Great Luo Law

After hearing this, Daoist Qinglian flicked his sleeves, turned and left, stepping once again into the land permeated with the innate five elements' malevolent energy.

The moment his toes touched the gray mist, countless malevolent energies surged forth like a tidal wave, churning and roaring, more violent than before, losing three parts of calm and gaining seven parts of ferocity.

"This strange, malevolent aura is most likely related to that giant dragon's corpse—but what was its origin in life?"

The Azure Lotus Daoist's gaze swept over the surging five-colored turbid currents within the formation, and he pondered to himself.

"Ancient texts record: When heaven and earth were first separated, two dragons emerged. One was born in the depths of the four seas and was called the Ancestral Dragon; the other was born in the wilderness of the primordial world and was named the Primordial Dragon. Although they were of the same origin as the dragon race, they had never interacted and were clearly separated. In the bloody war between the dragon, phoenix, and qilin races, the Primordial Dragon never showed its face, which shows that it always watched the rise and fall of the dragon veins of the four seas with indifference."

"That giant dragon corpse lying at the heart of the formation... could it truly be left behind by the Primordial Dragon?"

At this moment, Dongwang Gongzheng used pure Yang power to suppress the resentment and anger. The Qi within the formation was chaotic and boiling, and the giant dragon's corpse trembled slightly, as if it might open its eyes and revive at any moment.

Qinglian Daoist dared not delay any longer. He immediately focused his mind and began to cast a spell.

Auspicious clouds suddenly parted above his head, and the three flowers of his primordial spirit slowly bloomed; the twelve-petaled Creation Lotus hung in the center of the sky, drooping strands of azure light to protect his body; the innate five elements and five colors of divine light rose from his palm, spreading out like a sky curtain, and then scattered into thousands of tiny rays, like spring rain, silently falling into the depths of the evil energy.

In an instant, light burst forth from the array, and spiritual fire flickered, illuminating the void as if it had been washed clean; a mysterious sound seemed to echo in one's ears, neither chanting nor singing, but the very sound of the Great Dao.

Wherever the divine light reaches, the malevolent energy crumbles upon contact, vanishing in an instant without leaving a trace.

"This malevolent energy contains the mechanism of Yin and Yang, which can be used to refine divine light."

The Azure Lotus Daoist's lips curled slightly, his eyes gleaming with clear light. As the malevolent aura gradually dissipated, the five-colored divine light became increasingly radiant and full, its brilliance subtly revealing the mysteries of the initial separation of Yin and Yang.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the auspicious cloud, breathing in and out with the Three Flowers technique, focusing his mind on using divine light to cleanse the impurities in the formation; he also drew strands of pure baleful energy into the light, repeatedly refining his own Five Elements Dao Fruit and tempering the origin of divine light.

Between the opening and closing of the three flowers of the primordial spirit, what is inhaled and exhaled is not turbid air, but the most condensed essence within.

In less than half a day, the baleful aura within the formation had faded to a thin wisp of smoke; the five-colored divine light was as round and smooth as a pearl, with flowing halos, faintly reflecting the image of yin and yang complementing each other.

Suddenly, the three flowers trembled together, and a primordial five-element spiritual fire soared into the sky from the half-acre auspicious cloud, bursting open and transforming into countless fire lotuses that poured down in all directions. Wherever the scorching flames reached, the remaining evil spirits were burned away and scattered in all directions.

"After this tempering, my divine light has reached a new level. The mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is just around the corner. I only need to break through the formation, find a quiet cave, and go into seclusion to comprehend it, so as not to waste today's efforts."

Thinking of this, the Azure Lotus Daoist's body suddenly shone with divine light. He summoned five-colored divine light with his left hand and activated the five elements spiritual fire with his right hand. The two merged into a barrier of interwoven light and flame, which was pushed out in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the murderous aura vanished completely, leaving only wisps of innate spiritual energy that naturally arose from the void, quietly filling the cleansed emptiness.

The Green Lotus Daoist finished his stance and stood up. The green lotus beneath his feet spontaneously lifted him up, and he was instantly beside the Eastern King Duke.

Seeing that the pure yang divine light and the resentful black aura were locked in a stalemate, he nodded slightly and warned in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, be careful—now that the evil aura has been eliminated, the spiritual consciousness within the dragon's corpse is likely to awaken."

Upon hearing this, Dongwanggong's pupils contracted, his gaze piercing the sprawling giant body like lightning. He drew his Innate Pure Yang Sword, its blade gleaming coldly. He then turned to Qinglian Daoist, his voice low and resolute: "The baleful aura has dissipated, and the formation's foundation is wavering. We must break this formation quickly, or things will change!"

"Awooo—Awooo—Awooo—!"

Before the words were finished, three dragon roars suddenly exploded from the center of the formation, tearing through the sky.

A colossal dragon rose from the ground, its entire body wreathed in boundless resentment and rage; its eyes blazed with fury, their cold light sharp as blades, locking onto the Eastern King Duke, and it spoke each word with a voice as cold as ancient ice: "Those who offend my Dragon Realm—die!"

The voice was flat and even, yet it carried the might of an ancient dragon, merging with the surrounding resentment and anger, surging into a chaotic, undeveloped cloud of the five elements, pressing down on the two of them with the force of wind and thunder.

Along the way, the wind raged and the clouds surged, lightning struck and thunder roared, and all the innate supernatural abilities of the dragon race were unleashed, their power shaking heaven and earth, and could not be looked at directly.

"This is the remains of the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Clan! Fellow Daoist, quickly activate your innate pure Yang divine light to protect your body, and under no circumstances should it be allowed to get within half a foot of you."

The Azure Lotus Daoist blurted out, but his heart trembled slightly: "Below the Ancestral Dragon, there were several divine dragons who guarded the Eight Desolations. One of them was called the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon."

"Born from the primordial five elements, he commanded the five dragons of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, possessing magical power that transcended heaven and earth, far surpassing ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Who would have thought he would die such a violent death!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Wanggong's expression changed drastically. He disregarded the resentful aura churning in the air, and his body shone with pure Yang divine light like a pillar soaring into the sky. With a flick of his right hand, the Innate Pure Yang Sword was drawn with a clang, and a sharp sword aura burst forth, forcibly stopping the giant dragon's corpse in the clouds three zhang away.

In an instant, wind and rain raged within the formation, thunder and fire surged, tearing and clashing with the pure Yang sword energy; the Dragon Clan's Five Elements Secret Technique collided with the pure Yang's supreme strength, causing endless turbulence, exploding with light and flames, and surging with murderous aura, forcing the Eastern King Duke to retreat several steps, his robes fluttering and sweat beading on his forehead.

The Azure Lotus Daoist chuckled softly, his eyes brightening slightly: "Excellent! This corpse of the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon is perfect for refining into a spiritual treasure to extract its innate Five Elements Dao Fruits. If successful, it may give rise to unfathomable mysteries."

"Fellow Daoist, you only need to control this corpse, and the resentment and anger within the formation will naturally dissipate. At that time, this innate grand formation will no longer be able to block anything."

If the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon still possesses its true spirit, the Azure Lotus Daoist would certainly avoid it; even if it is just a remnant, it is not something that an ordinary Great Luo Immortal can contend with—even the Eastern King Duke would find it difficult to suppress.

Unfortunately, he possessed the innate five elements and five colors of divine light, which were precisely the source that could restrain this body.

Dongwanggong gritted his teeth and endured the pure yang divine light, barely managing to separate the corpse. The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly before he turned to Qinglian Daoist and said, "This corpse is no ordinary thing. Ordinary methods are hardly enough to subdue it. I would like to ask you to use the profound mysteries of the Five Elements and Five Colors Divine Light."

"Haha, it's just a skeleton, nothing to worry about! Let's see what I can do!"

Before he finished speaking, five-colored divine light rose from the body of the Azure Lotus Daoist. The five rays of light—red, blue, yellow, white, and black—pierced the sun like a rainbow, instantly enveloping the violently attacking corpse.

The dragon's roar was deafening, the corpse howled wildly, divine thunder from the nine heavens crashed down, the primordial divine wind raged, five-colored spiritual fire spread like wildfire, and the dragon's breath was like a blade, all rushing towards the five-colored divine light, trying to tear open the light curtain and attack the Eastern King Duke again.

But that divine light was perfectly formed, and no matter how powerful it was, it could not escape the realm of light.

At this moment, the Azure Lotus Daoist's primordial spirit was clear and bright, with five-colored Dao fruits floating on his body. His hands formed hand seals, and Dao seals flowed between his fingers. The azure lotus beneath his feet bloomed and withered continuously, and his voice was steady as he chanted: "Heaven established the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; when in harmony, they generate each other; when in opposition, they restrain each other—I command!"
