Five elements life and death power

Old Sun frowned slightly. "It is better not to spread baseless rumors about such things."

"No matter what, they are also great warriors who gloriously died in battle for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. How could the higher-ups possibly allow those shameless villains to trample on their corpses?"

That lazy Cultivator was immediately a bit unconvinced. "How is that a baseless rumor? I saw it with my own eyes!"

"That fellow Zhang Debiao, relying on the appointment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, openly led a group of people to collect corpses. The Storage Rings on their bodies, the Magic Treasures that could still be used—weren't they all quietly collected by them?!"

"I even heard that the remaining Golden Cores and Grotto-Heaven fragments inside the corpses were all dug out by these people!"

"You also came down from the battlefield. How tragic was the battle of Tianling Province? Those corpses were almost all mutilated and misshapen; how else could they be collected? Weren't they all burned to ashes directly, leaving only a bit of powder as proof? Who could discover it?"

"As the saying goes, the officials do not prosecute unless the people complain. Ordinary Cultivators are mostly lonely individuals; once they die, they die. Who would truly care…"

The lazy Cultivator talked endlessly and uninhibitedly, while Old Sun's face slowly grew gloomy.

Suddenly feeling a chill rise behind his back, the lazy Cultivator saw Old Sun's expression. For some reason, his heart trembled, and he instinctively shut his mouth.

Until the other party's gaze staring at him finally shifted away, the lazy Cultivator let out a secret sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Being used to getting along normally, he had almost forgotten the legends surrounding the person before him.

Old Sun's name was Sun Qi.

Although on the surface he was just like the guards among them, both being Golden Core Realm Cultivators,

and usually treated others very cordially, looking honest and submissive,

but Sun Qi was truly a ruthless person.

He was a local Cultivator of Tianling Province and was drafted at the very beginning of the war.

Whether due to good luck or some other reason, an uncountable number of Nascent Soul Cultivators had fallen in the war.

Yet he, a mere Golden Core, had stubbornly survived throughout it all.

Someone who carved a bloody path out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood always carried a bone-chilling aura. Usually hidden, once truly angered, it would cause others to feel boundless terror. Seeing this, the lazy Cultivator sensibly stopped provoking this great ancestor.

Meanwhile, Li Fan, hiding in mid-air and observing in secret, saw Sun Qi's gaze sweep past his hiding spot as if unintentionally.

His interest in this person grew even stronger in his heart.

Instantly activating Formless Killing Intent, he locked onto the other party.

Watching Sun Qi's face flash with uncertainty as he abruptly flew up to inspect the surroundings yet found nothing at all, Li Fan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Disregarding him for the time being, Li Fan quietly flew to a collapsed mountain range filled with dead silence, as if it had been trampled over from the sky by someone.

As usual, he went deep underground and excavated a secret room.

After sealing it, Li Fan closed his eyes to check his own status.

…

"Hoo!"

Li Fan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He only felt waves of massive and pure vitality surge out from various parts of his body, nourishing his Physical Body.

Spiritual Qi was even continuous and endless.

Within his Dantian, at the location where the Golden Core originally resided, the outlines of five complementary Grotto-Heavens could be faintly seen.

"So this is the Nascent Soul Realm! A single breakthrough turns the world upside down!"

To test the gap between this and the Golden Core Stage, as soon as Li Fan made a move, it was the strongest Divine Ability he currently mastered.

Using his hand as a brush, he wrote in mid-air.

At the same time, he sensed the changes in his body.

Writing the upper left part of the character "Chaos", he still retained spare capacity.

A steady stream of spiritual power and vitality surged forth from the Grotto-Heavens, supporting the consumption of casting the Chaos incantation, preventing his body from collapsing.

Li Fan continued to hold the brush, writing half of it in an instant.

In the underground secret room, the surrounding soil was affected, rising and vibrating incessantly, dense and packed like a Mortal army formation.

Looking closer, the vibration frequency of every single particle was actually completely different.

Seeming uniform, they were actually each in chaos.

Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and next, his fingers suspended in mid-air suddenly stopped.

"I have a clear idea now."

"Stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, I no longer need to worry about bodily damage. I can finally use this ultimate killing move completely."

"However, I still cannot use it back-to-back without scruples, otherwise…"

Feeling the slightly vibrating Five Elements Grotto-Heaven inside his body, a trace of solemnity flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

"The might of the Chaos character is truly terrifying."

"As the caster possessing the Five Elements Grotto-Heavens, I still suffer such backlash. Ordinary Nascent Souls would probably collapse immediately upon touching even a little bit of it."

"I just wonder if a Soul Transformation Cultivator can block me."

The Chaos incantation was comprehended by Li Fan in the White Mist Mystic Domain.

It was extremely profound. As his cultivation improved, Li Fan felt even more extraordinary about that single character "Chaos".

"Even my clumsy imitation has such might."

"I truly wonder just how terrifying the real [Chaos] incantation is."

"It seems to have already exceeded the limit of power that ordinary Cultivators can master. Could it be…"

Li Fan frowned and pondered in silence.

After a moment, he temporarily suppressed his thoughts and focused his gaze on the [Reversed Five Elements Life and Death Sword] on the [Huan Zhen] Divine Ability panel.

The [Reversed Five Elements Life and Death Sword] was a Divine Ability gained by Li Fan through Epiphany after observing the [Root of Heaven and Earth], weaving the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, and combining it with the scene of Five Elements Return to One from his previous life.

Integrating the essence of the [Great Five Elements Extinction Sword], it not only possessed formidable lethality to destroy everything, but could also create something from nothing and generate vitality.

Li Fan casually scooped a dying crawling insect into his palm—one that had been tragically affected by the aftermath of the Chaos incantation just now.

A gentle, milky-white light surged out from his palm.

A moment later, the crawling insect bathed in the white light miraculously recovered its vitality.

Struggling to flip its body over, it hurriedly flew out of Li Fan's hand.

Li Fan paid no more attention to this bug that had escaped with its life, but said thoughtfully, "Coming back from near death is merely a minor trick. Other medical arts can also easily achieve this."

"The truly powerful aspect of the [Reversed Five Elements Life and Death Sword] lies in creation."

He took out a Spirit Stone from his Storage Ring and held it in his left hand.

His right hand continuously emitted brilliance.

After a short half-day, when the light dissipated, a Spirit Stone that looked identical to the one in his left hand slowly appeared.
