Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 777 - 677
"Thank you for the compliment, Second Senior Brother," said Wu Xin Fairy, her face wearing a light and triumphant smile.
Normally, she wouldn't bother responding to ridicule from others.
But today, for some reason—perhaps the excitement of seeing Qinchuan again stirring something unspoken within her—she revealed an uncharacteristically rare smile on her face.
At the same moment Wu Xin Fairy claimed a Primordial Stone for herself, Liu Mu and Bai Bing had just secured the last one into their possession.
Thus, of the five Primordial Stones, the Jie Tian Sect's five members had taken two, while Qinchuan, Wu Xin Fairy, and Mo Wujie each obtained one.
As the ownership of the five Primordial Stones was settled, the battles among everyone also came to an end, and each person took up a position on separate sides.
The Jie Tian Sect's five on one side, Qinchuan standing together with Bai Ruoxi and the others; Mo Wujie levitated in the void; Wu Xin Fairy stood at the peak of a mountain, her hair flying wildly, her robes flapping in the wind.
"How do you do it, Wu Xin? How exactly do you know our movements!"
Bai Bing, standing behind Yan Huo, glared at Wu Xin Fairy, her eyes filled with anger.
They were perplexed as their missions were always kept in absolute secrecy.
Moreover, even they themselves would only become aware of the specific time, place, and details of the mission one month before it began.
It could have been in the Underworld, on the Divine Wilderness Continent, or possibly other territories.
Yet, Wu Xin Fairy always appeared every single time, and her presence even directly led to the failure of several missions.
For instance, last time in the Charm Demon Land of the Ancient Realm, the stellar fragments scattered around the Holy Pond were actually Primordial Stone fragments.
If all the stellar fragments had been collected, they could have been merged into a Primordial Stone, but in the end, Wu Xin Fairy seized one, causing the mission to fail outright.
There was also the case in Charm Demon Land, where they originally intended to retrieve a Primordial Stone, but were ultimately blocked by Wu Xin Fairy.
In the end, they had also ventured into the deadly lands of Charm Demon, but only discovered the corpse of a Charm Demon and no sign of the Primordial Stone.
They simply assumed that Wu Xin Fairy had already obtained the Primordial Stone.
What they didn't realize was that the Primordial Stone from that place had not been acquired by Wu Xin Fairy but by Qinchuan.
Of course, Wu Xin Fairy had indeed been to that place as well, only she mistook her target; she believed her goal to be that Divine Egg and overlooked the Primordial Stone guarded by the Charm Demon beneath the waters.
"Yan Huo, we have been at each other's throats for tens of thousands of years," spoke Wu Xin Fairy, "and with your recent actions attracting more and more attention, perhaps it's time we called a temporary truce to deal with this nuisance together..."
As she spoke, Wu Xin Fairy's eyes were scanning Mo Wujie, not far away.
The implication was clear: she sought to ally with Yan Huo and the others to confront this newly emerged Mo Wujie.
"Mad woman, what are you blabbering about?" Mo Wujie's eyes were dark and chilling, his silver Battle Sword gleaming faintly: "Had I known, I would have struck you down in the Upper Realm with a single sword blow."
From their conversation, it was clear that there were grievances between them that dated back to their time in the Upper Realm.
"Hah, as if you could cut me down. You'd need another million years of cultivation!" Wu Xin Fairy retorted with disdain.
Amid their heated exchange, Yan Huo suddenly spoke up, "This fellow's background is a mystery, and he somehow knows about our missions; killing him is not off the table, but the Primordial Stone he carries must be ours!"
Whenever the Jie Tian Sect and Wu Xin Fairy appeared, a great battle was inevitable; the contradictions between them seemed irreconcilable.
But unexpectedly, Yan Huo had agreed to Wu Xin Fairy's proposal.
"That broken stone is yours to keep, it doesn't matter to me, I only want his severed head as my prize!" Wu Xin Fairy's beautiful eyes rippled like waves. She had already obtained a Primordial Stone and completed her master's mission. The number of remaining Primordial Stones didn't matter much to her anymore.
"Since that's the case, then we have an agreement,"
Once the words were spoken, a temporary alliance was formed. Yan Huo hesitated no more and directly activated his Divine Skills, charging towards Mo Wujie.
In fact, having dealt with Wu Xin Fairy for so many years, they somewhat knew that just like themselves, Wu Xin Fairy probably had a terrifying existence backing her, just like their own master.
It was very difficult to kill Wu Xin Fairy.
Thus, it made more sense to join forces with Wu Xin Fairy and snatch the Primordial Stone from Mo Wujie first.
Wu Xin Fairy was also radiant, divine light blossoming on her body. Spiritual arrows appeared behind her, blooming like Divine Lotuses descending from the heavens.
Six strong figures dove down amidst lightning and thunder; their combat power was not something ordinary Emperor Realm warriors could match.
At that moment, the void trembled as if it were about to shatter.
Logically speaking, Qinchuan's party, which only had Li Kaitian as a Great Emperor powerhouse, should have been the easiest target on the surface.
Yan Huo and the others, however, completely ignored them.
Since the Jie Tian Sect, Wu Xin Fairy, and the others did not attack him, Qinchuan had no interest in interfering in their struggle.
If he were unaware of the circumstances, he might have been inclined to capture them and investigate further.
But he did know that each of these individuals had some special abilities.
The members of the Jie Tian Sect had Divine Stones on their silver masks that could ward off Soul attacks. Mo Wujie was capable of passing through Barriers, likely also having some defenses regarding the Soul. These people all had extraordinary means of preserving their lives. Even if Qinchuan took action, it would be very difficult to capture any of them.
And so,
Since the Jie Tian Sect and the others didn't trouble him, he couldn't be bothered to waste his energy either.
Just then, the Divine Tomb in the Yuchu Mountain Range rose into the sky, radiating a blinding light. He ignored the others and led Ji Huo'er and the rest towards the Divine Tomb.
Mo Wujie, besieged by six adversaries, was fearless. His Battle Sword swept across, sending a majestic burst of Sword Qi that illuminated the sky and scattered the clouds, an utterly terrifying sight.
One sword stroke that split heaven and earth was unimaginable, such was its might.
"How can the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?" Yan Huo and the other four erupted with the Qi of the Five Elements. Their bodies, agile as true dragons, each executed the Five Elements Secret Technique. Runes of all colors flickered around them, intensely fierce, pressing down with overwhelming force.
"Suppress!"
"Hm? The Heaven-Earth Five Elements Divine Power!"
Qinchuan had already entered the Yuchu Mountain Range, but he was still keeping an eye on the battlefield. When he saw the members of the Jie Tian Sect unleash such Divine Power, he couldn't help but stop and watch.
At this moment, Qinchuan came to a sudden realization and pondered, "So that's how it is!"
The Heaven-Earth Five Elements Divine Power!
This was a truly Ancient Divine Power. Qinchuan had learned about it in a Secret Manual before. To cultivate such Divine Power, one needed a pure Five Elements Saint Body.
Qinchuan did not think that these five were Five Elements Saint Bodies because, since the Divine Realm and Underworld had appeared, the world had changed and could no longer nurture a completely pure Five Elements Saint Body.
If they were not Five Elements Saint Bodies, then the final answer must lie in the Five-Colored Divine Stones on their masks.
