Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 499: Chapter 304: The Quadrilateral

Northern Domain, Barbaric Wastes.

Suddenly, the void shattered, and a man stepped out, his blue robe flowing ethereally, his demeanor extraordinary.

“I’ve finally made it out!”

Feeling the rich Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit around him, Xu Yang smiled and exclaimed, “This truly is the Great World of Cultivation, a place suitable even for Mahayana practitioners to cross the tribulation. Even in such a wild land, the spiritual energy is so dense.”

The process of Breaking the Realm had been quite smooth, without any hitches.

After all, the Dao of the Five Elements combined with the rationale of the void, and with the Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation and Spiritual Treasure Skill, such an Immortal Spirit Mech Armor constructed from these elements had no trouble breaking through the small world of the Cave Heaven created by the Void Spirit Monarch with the Five Elements Law. There was simply no suspense in it.

As for the Tianshu Sect outside the Cave Heaven, it was also not a problem. With the Five Elements Void Escaping Art, the Tianshu Great Array—merely a Fifth Rank boundary—could not only be bypassed, but Xu Yang’s presence had also passed through unnoticed, effectively ‘smuggled’ out.

The location now was beyond the scope of the Tianshu Great Array, at least hundreds of miles away from the “entrance” to the Void Spirit Cave Heaven.

So, Xu Yang emerged and transformed the White Jade City into a human form to avoid drawing the attention of Integration or Mahayana practitioners.

There was no choice, as in the path of cultivation, the Primordial Spirit was paramount. A Fifth Rank could develop a Purple Mansion and transform the Primordial Spirit. Not to mention a practitioner of the Seventh Rank Integration or Eighth Order Mahayana, their Divine Consciousness was so strong that they could achieve Heavenly Hearing and Earthly Vision, omnipresent.

Even though the White Jade City’s Great Five Elements Void Escaping Art was extraordinary, it was, after all, just a mid-tier Immortal Spirit, a Sixth Rank creation. Faced with Integration Mahayana practitioners, it might have a chance to escape, but slipping away without a sound, deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea, was pure fantasy.

Hence, to move through the void again at this time would only draw attention.

In the current Northern Domain, although the Ancient Secret Realm “Ten Thousand Star Sea” had emerged, which preoccupied the main forces of the various Sacred Places, there would inevitably be some Integration Great Powers, a Mahayana True Immortal coming to this wasteland in search of the Void Spirit Cave Heaven.

Especially for the Five Elements Immortal Sect, this Void Spirit Cave Heaven was probably even more vital than the Ten Thousand Star Sea; they would definitely send some high-level combatants here, and Xu Yang truly did not want to catch their attention.

Therefore, he changed his form, and the White Jade Immortal City morphed into a cultivator’s human shape.

This also revealed the extent of Xu Yang’s progress in the Dao of the Void.

Back in the Divine Martial World, although the White Jade City could also transform into a human form, it had to first evacuate all beings within the city, keeping only the original form of the Immmortal Spirit Mech Armor, and only then could it barely transform into a human being with the enhancement of skill characteristics.

Now things were different. Even if the White Jade City housed billions of beings, Xu Yang could easily transform into a human form, and it would not affect the lives of the people inside the city, as if he were an Earth Deity with a Cave Heaven Blessed Land of his own, creating a world unto itself.

Moreover, the combat power loss in human form had also been significantly reduced. Initially, it could only exert half its combat strength; now it could retain seven to eight-tenths of its power.

Once the War God’s Atlas is thoroughly comprehended, and the Temple of War God completely mastered, the value could even be raised to ninety or hundred percent, with unaltered combat strength in human form, and the Immortal City form would perform extraordinarily long…

“Who dares to skulk around outside my Tianshu Formation?”

Lost in thought, Xu Yang suddenly heard a stern shout.

A brilliant starlight tore through the sky toward him, its momentum grand and its oppressive aura strong, almost comparable to the Crossing the Tribulation powerhouses in the Divine Martial World.

A cultivator of the Great World of Cultivation, one who cultivates back to the void, especially one born from the Immortal Sect Holy Land, far surpasses ordinary loose cultivators.

Amidst the shout, the starlight plummeted down, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man, wearing a Seven Stars Crown and a Robe of Ten Thousand Laws, his eyes seeming to shoot out myriad beams of light, aimed directly at Xu Yang with an accusing air.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yang was straightforward. The vertical line on his forehead sprung open, his Admiring Eye of Heaven cast its gaze; the five colors green, yellow, red, white, and black rotated like a sword, lashing out directly at the incoming assailant.

“Five Elements Divine Light?”

“Five Elements Immortal Sect!”

“Not good!!!”

The newcomer’s face changed instantly upon seeing this, hastily propping up the Seven Stars Crown on his head. Immediately, seven rays of starlight spat out, forming the Big Dipper pattern, shielding himself.

The Five Elements Divine Light is a foundational Divine Power of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, well-known throughout the Northern Domain; no one is ignorant of it. It comes in four progressing tiers.

The Minor Five Elements Divine Light is a Fourth Rank Divine Power, able to harness the Postnatal Five Elements’ power. Among equals, it is not invincible, but definitely top-tier.

The Great Five Elements Divine Light lies above the Fourth Rank and below the Seventh Rank and can roam freely in the realms of Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Return to Void. If one has an unrivaled talent, cultivated to the ultimate postnatal state, they could even create a feat of a Return to Void practitioner challenging and defeating an Integration expert.

This is the Postnatal Five Elements, above which is the Innate Five Elements, considered top-tier Divine Powers even among the Immortal Gods of the Upper Realm.

Although this person had not yet perfected the Innate level, he had cultivated to the grand stage of the Postnatal Great Five Elements. In the realm of Return to Void, it’s said that he had few rivals.

With such power and such Divine Powers, he must be a Grand Cultivator of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Luckily, he was also born in the Immortal Sect Holy Land. With the Seven Stars Crown forming arrays, and the Big Dipper pattern enacting protection against the Great Five Elements Divine Light, he hastily sent a plea for assistance.

But unexpectedly…

“Bang!!!”

The five colors rotated, the Divine Light shone forth like a cutting sword, a sweeping brush, and in an instant broke through the Seven Stars light, causing the Big Dipper pattern with the Tianshu as its master to collapse on the spot.

“How is this possible!?”

The man’s pupils shrank, his face changing, filled with shock and an urge to retreat.

But retreating now was too late. The Divine Light shone in an instant, the five colors devoured everything.

“Splash!”

The Five Elements rotated, Divine Light shined, instantaneously devouring the adversary, erasing all traces.

The Big Dipper Pivot, a Great Return to Void Cultivator, fell in an instant.

Xu Yang’s expression remained unchanged, as he stepped forward, his stride shrinking distances, and in a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

The words of being unbeatable weren’t just empty boasts.
