Chapter 160 The Fall of the Five Lines
The Four Ferocious Beasts
The expressions of the primordial gods and demons, including the Qilin, the Phoenix, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, who had managed to regain their senses, changed drastically.
When the primordial continent was first created, some chaotic gods and demons abandoned everything and entered the primordial world, where they were reborn as innate gods and demons, washing away their identities and being able to live in the primordial world.
Besides these chaotic gods and demons, there were also some chaotic gods and demons who, although not completely killed by Pangu, had their Dao completely preserved. Along with their lingering thoughts, they fell into the primordial world and, combined with the turbid, calamity, and filth of the primordial world at its creation, were nurtured into ferocious beast kings.
Chaos is formed by the remnant of a demon god who controls the Great Dao of Chaos, combined with the Great Dao of Chaos. It is inherently ferocious and has a penchant for devouring and assimilating. Moreover, it only eats and does not excrete. All living beings and matter devoured by Chaos will merge into Chaos and become part of it.
Moreover, this ferocious beast Chaos has already grown to its peak state, with strength comparable to a Quasi-Saint who has severed three corpses, and is no weaker than the top innate gods and demons.
Accompanying Chaos were three ferocious beast kings: Taotie, Taowu, and Qiongqi, whose strength was not much weaker than Chaos's.
"That madman Luo Hou actually dared to train these ferocious beast kings."
Although it was expected, once it was confirmed, Xu Qiankun couldn't help but curse him inwardly as a "madman." At the same time, he also knew that given Luo Hou's behavior, even if he were stronger and could really defeat Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not allow him to attain sainthood.
What is a sage? A sage is the spokesperson of the Way of Heaven, the hand and ear of the Way of Heaven, an obedient enforcer, not a madman who destroys without regard for the cost.
If Rahu were to actually attain enlightenment, this madman would wreak havoc on the entire primordial world.
Xu Qiankun flashed forward and charged directly at Taotie, one of the four ferocious beast kings.
Taotie is a monster born from the Great Dao of Devouring, and most of the mysteries of the Great Dao of Devouring are related to the Great Dao of Space.
Fighting the Taotie also helped Xu Qiankun comprehend the Great Dao of Space.
With the Qiankun Cauldron above his head and the Po Kong Spear in his hand, the Taiyin and Taiyang transformed into two golden and white halos that landed behind him, reflecting the extremely dense golden light of merit.
Around him, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth manifested, influencing the surrounding spacetime across hundreds of billions of kilometers.
This is why he integrated Qingyun into the Qiankun Great World. If Qingyun were still alive, he could easily turn a trillion-kilometer area into His domain.
The Void-Piercing Spear pierced through space and struck the Taotie's head, only to be blocked by one of its scales.
Xu Qiankun was not surprised at all. These ferocious beast kings were all at the level of innate gods and demons. Their physical bodies were even harder than the true bodies of innate gods and demons because they had fused with a large amount of turbid energy.
However, Xu Qiankun did not use any particularly mysterious moves, since he was currently playing the role of someone whose mind was clouded by the calamity, and using too many mysterious moves would definitely arouse the suspicion of Hongjun and Luohou.
"Isn't it just a contest of physical strength? Who's afraid of who?"
The Void-Piercing Spear slammed down like a club, landing heavily on the Taotie's head. The immense force sent the Taotie flying.
The terrifying aftershocks swept through, killing countless demons and their offspring brought by Rahu, and even a nearby ferocious god was seriously injured.
Roar
The Taotie roared, opened its mouth, and lunged to devour Xu Qiankun.
This is Taotie's strongest divine power: devouring heaven and earth.
Under the influence of the Taotie Divine Power, Xu Qiankun sensed an immense devouring force enveloping him, as if it were about to tear his flesh from his body, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
The true form of the god and demon is powerful enough that the Taotie cannot devour it at will.
Not to mention that He has already integrated the complete Dao of the Origin of Life into the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and His Divine Demon True Body has undergone another transformation. Even if He were to fight the Taotie head-on, He would not be afraid at all.
Two enormous creatures, a god and a beast, fought in the air. They didn't use many techniques or even supernatural powers; it was purely a clash of strength.
A greenish-blue light emanated from the Qiankun Cauldron above Xu Qiankun's head. This light not only had a defensive effect but also had the function of healing bodily injuries.
The two sides were evenly matched and fought fiercely.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Five Elements Ancestor faced off against Taotie.
The Yin-Yang Ancestor faced off against Qiongqi.
Hongjun confronted Rahu in his true form.
Yang Mei confronted Rahu's clone.
Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin were entangled by chaos.
The battles on every battlefield were incredibly intense, especially those of the Five Elements Ancestor. His strength was truly formidable. Even though his mind was clouded by the calamity energy and he relied primarily on instinct in combat, his five avatars still coordinated perfectly.
The five clones even possessed a technique that combined all their power into one, unleashing a fivefold increase in strength that caused the ferocious beast king, Taotie, to retreat in defeat.
The biggest advantage belongs to the battlefield between Chaos and the Primordial Qilin and Yuanfeng. These two top-tier innate gods and demons, each wielding a supreme innate treasure, have joined forces and have already broken free from the control of the calamity energy, possessing full intelligence.
Even though Chaos is the strongest among the four ferocious beast kings, it was still severely suppressed.
However, Chaos is formless and shapeless, like a black sphere or a mass of chaotic energy. The Great Dao of Chaos surges on its body. If a mortal senses its aura, even a wisp of it will be assimilated, and the body will disintegrate into a mass of ferocious energy in the world.
Although the two powerful figures had the upper hand, they were unable to truly suppress the chaos.
The battle reached a stalemate.
"Balance Demon God, it seems I underestimated you."
Luo Hou and Hongjun fought a great battle, each clashing with the other. One of them controlled the demonic path, constantly unleashing various insidious supernatural powers. Occasionally, inner demons would arise within Hongjun's body, and other evil spirits would be conceived. Even half of his divine and demonic body betrayed him.
The God-Slaying Spear is even more terrifying, carrying boundless killing power, with a fearsome aura, and is specifically designed to destroy the true forms and immortal souls of innate gods and demons.
However, Hongjun was no weakling either. He held the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure that was in no way inferior to the God-Slaying Spear. He unfurled auspicious clouds and created a balanced Dao field.
Within this training ground, all of Rahu's advantageous techniques were brought down to the same level as Hongjun's, while Hongjun remained completely unaffected.
Soon, under the balance of the Great Dao, Rahu fell into a disadvantageous position, which caught Him somewhat off guard.
Hongjun's strength clearly exceeded His imagination.
"We can't delay any longer."
Rahu hardened his heart and suddenly unleashed a divine and demonic power into the void.
Rumble
A terrifying roar echoed across the battlefield.
When Xu Qiankun heard that voice, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a great danger approaching.
He knew that Rahu was about to activate it.
"Immortal Slaughtering Formation"
He was still full of curiosity about this number one killing formation in the world, which was known in later generations as the number one killing formation in the world and could not be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages.
Crimson clouds surged in the sky, and an extremely terrifying aura of slaughter permeated the vast array space, where a terrifying power was being nurtured.
Suddenly, a blood-red sword light slashed past one of the Five Elements Ancestor's clones.
bang
The Yin-Yang Ancestor's clone, which was in no way weaker than other innate gods and demons, was directly pierced by the sword light.
The sword light contained the power of the Great Dao of the four supreme innate spiritual treasures: Slaughter, Slaughter, Annihilation, and Traps. Through the Slaughtering Immortal Formation Diagram, it was unified into one and transformed into an extremely terrifying power.
In an instant, the immortal Five Elements Ancestor's clones disintegrated into countless points of light and were swallowed by the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, which further enhanced the formation's power.
"The five elemental clones were destroyed in a single blow?"
Xu Qiankun was shocked.
With his clones destroyed, the Five Elements Ancestor's Five Elements Formation, which he had set up with his five clones, was immediately broken, and his strength was greatly diminished.
Then another sword light struck the Five Elements Ancestor, killing another of his clones.
The Five Elements Ancestor's weakness also became apparent; while his combat power was indeed very strong, his defensive capabilities were somewhat lacking.
The Five Elements Pagoda is an excellent defensive treasure, but it was disassembled and used as the base for setting up an array.
Despite having two clones slain in succession, the Five Elements Ancestor seemed oblivious, continuing his battle with the Taotie without even fusing the Five Elements Tower and the Five Elements Sword to unleash the power of this innate treasure.
Damn it.
Xu Qiankun wanted to go to the rescue, but he was held back by the Taotie.
Even if He were to go to the rescue, it would be useless. He doesn't have the ability to awaken the Five Elements Ancestor. Even if He blocked ten or a hundred attacks from the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, could He still block them all?
Not only would he fail to save the Five Elements, but he would also be targeted by Hongjun and Luohou.
"Good luck to you."
Xu Qiankun shook his head slightly. The fall of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang was a foregone conclusion, and he couldn't save them.
Sure enough, as several sword lights fell, the five avatars of the Five Elements Ancestor were directly killed, and the Five Elements Ancestor perished.
Until his death, the Five Elements Ancestor remained in a state of confusion.
