Chapter 187: Group Members Madly Slaying, Cultivating Great Five Elements Technique
This golden swarm of hornets was indeed somewhat mystical. However, against a serious Meng Qi, it was more than a little lacking. Countless Sword Qi instantly engulfed the hornet swarm.
What did it matter if the hornet swarm had a large number? Meng Qi could unleash Sword Qi 360 degrees without blind spots. Countless hornets were torn apart into the purest Geng Jin Qi. This Geng Jin Qi was then immediately absorbed by Meng Qi's White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash.
After absorbing the Geng Jin Qi, the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash's power greatly increased, and its white light became even more brilliant. Meng Qi transformed into the sun. Thousands of hornets were slain in an instant.
Just then, more and more hornets flew over. These hornets suddenly gathered together, densely forming a giant golden sword, which slashed down.
"Wonderful, these hornets can actually form a giant sword on their own, combining their strength…" Yang Qi spoke with some surprise after seeing this.
"That's normal. Creatures that exist in a tribal manner all have their unique aspects. Although individual strength is minuscule, when combined, they can unleash astonishing power," Fang Han chimed in. "A single hornet is nothing to worry about, but a hundred, a thousand, an entire swarm… even a Demonic Path giant would tremble!"
"Heh heh, if I could capture them and refine them into beings that obey me, releasing them all at once would definitely catch someone off guard," Shi Hao added. Fang Han looked at him, and the two exchanged a smile. What a coincidence; Fang Han had thought the same thing back then.
However, to refine all these hornets, one would need to learn some of the Demonic Path's mysterious soul-bewitching Divine Abilities. And it might not even be possible to successfully refine them. The time cost would be too high. It was not worth it.
"All of you, turn into Geng Jin Qi and help me cultivate the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash," Meng Qi said. When he saw the hornets gather into a great sword, he wasn't flustered; instead, he became more excited.
His terrifying Dharma Body, combined with the Golden Emperor Slash, flew straight into the great sword. Countless Sword Qi permeated the area. Meng Qi's Dharma Body's defensive power was too terrifying. No matter how powerful these hornets were, what did it matter? So what if they specialized in breaking protective auras?
My name, Mang Jin Gang, isn't for show. Even if the hornet's stinger was somewhat effective against "Golden Body" type Divine Abilities, the restraint had its limits. Meng Qi had obviously exceeded that limit.
He was as strong as a fierce tiger, fighting vigorously. Large groups of hornets were killed, and the powerful Geng Jin Qi was integrated into the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash. The power of the slash continuously increased. The light emitted by Meng Qi became even more intense.
The more intense the light, the more hornets were slain. The more Geng Jin Qi was absorbed. This was a cycle. By the end of the killing, the aura of the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash on him had become terrifyingly powerful. The Sword Light on his body flickered, dazzling and blinding.
If an ordinary person looked at it, their eyes would bleed. They would be directly blinded by this light. "Such a bright bald head…" The other people in the group couldn't help but exclaim.
With their eyesight, they could barely make out Meng Qi's figure from within that ball of light. His entire body was emitting Sword Light. The most bizarre part was his crotch glowing when he activated the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash. But the most eye-catching thing was still Meng Qi's big bald head. The big bald head shone brightly. The light was the most intense.
Someone quickly took a photo to commemorate it.
Meng Qi didn't notice anyone making fun of him; he just felt increasingly exhilarated as he killed. As the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash grew stronger, the speed of his Sword Qi became faster and faster. In the end, it even achieved something similar to an instant kill. With a thought, his Sword Qi split the hornets into two halves. It was truly exhilarating.
After an unknown period of killing, Meng Qi looked up and realized that the dense, rain-like hornets had all disappeared. All the hornets in the sky had been completely slain. The power of Meng Qi's White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash had increased several times. However, it was still a bit short of producing Geng Jin Divine Thunder.
To cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique to the point of producing Five Elements Divine Thunder was not a simple matter. Fang Han had been soloing dungeons for over a month. Before encountering sacred beasts like the White Tiger, he had been grinding Five Elements Yao Beasts in the Five Elements Land for nearly a month. Similar to this hornet swarm, he didn't know how many he had killed. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so skilled at explaining it to everyone.
"This White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash is really difficult to cultivate… I've slain so many hornets and absorbed so much Geng Jin Qi, yet I still haven't cultivated it to Perfection!" Meng Qi, who had stopped, couldn't help but complain.
He was truly going to say Amitabha! In just that short while, he had killed tens of thousands of hornets. Buddha knew his karma would be completely deducted by Buddha.
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning… You first need to kill enough Five Elements Yao Beasts, absorb their Five Elements Vital Qi, and raise the Great Five Elements Technique to a very high level," Fang Han said, sharing his experience. "Then, find sacred beasts like the White Tiger and Black Tortoise and directly slay them, using the powerful Five Elements Qi within these divine beasts to produce Five Elements Divine Thunder."
Grinding monsters was a tedious process, but at least there were monsters to grind. Without the Five Elements Land, having to find Five Elements Qi on your own would be truly tormenting.
Shi Jian also smiled and said, "Aren't you most fond of bullying weaker opponents? Now that you have a weak opponent arena, you're unhappy instead?"
Meng Qi rubbed his big bald head. "The main thing is that this White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash is really a bit difficult to cultivate. After absorbing so much Geng Jin Qi, I feel like I'm still a long way from cultivating Geng Jin Divine Thunder." "It's like a bottomless pit…" "Besides the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, there are four more bottomless pits waiting!"
"This is like getting a skill book in a game, but your rank isn't high enough, so you have to go grind ranks," Xiao Yan chimed in. Previously, Fang Han had demonstrated the divine might of the Five Emperors Canopy to them, and to be honest, everyone was quite envious. However, to possess the powerful skill, they still needed to raise their rank.
"This Five Elements Land is full of Yao Beasts formed from Five Elements Qi. Just grind for half a month, and then slay a few sacred beasts, and it should be pretty close to Perfection," Shi Jian continued.
He stepped forward abruptly as he spoke. Boom! Many springs suddenly gushed out from the ground. These springs turned into strange fish, one after another, with sharp, ferocious teeth and hideous fish heads, biting towards Shi Jian. Some of the strange fish spat out water arrows, while others spat out large water balls.
"See… We just entered the Five Elements Land, and we've already encountered hornets formed from Geng Jin Qi, fire crows formed from Fire Qi, strange snakes formed from Earth Qi, and now these fish spirit monsters condensed from Gui Water Vital Qi," Shi Jian said. "Just one more Wood Qi, and the Five Elements will be complete."
Shi Jian shook his hand, and the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist was instantly unleashed. These strange fish were much easier to deal with than the previous hornets and fire crows. They only spat out water pillars and looked like the piranhas from Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
Shi Jian casually threw out the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, and the strange fish were instantly blown apart, finally transforming into the purest Water Qi and integrating into his fist. The water pillars spat out by these fish were blocked by Shi Jian's Nethergod Guard.
However, the springs gushing from the ground were almost endless. Strange fish were generated every moment. This was the amazing aspect of Gui Water Qi. It was heavy and vast. Although the strange fish formed from Gui Water Qi were generally weak, their quantity was almost infinite. They could exhaust a person to death just by attrition! Even an expert who had survived the Wind and Fire Tribulation would have their magic power exhausted here.
Shi Jian, however, was not worried at all. He wished the pool would gush even stronger. The more Gui Water Qi it spat out, the better. It would be best if he could cultivate the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist to Perfection in one go.
Shi Jian felt that the speed at which the pool gushed water Qi was too slow. He simply punched directly into the underground water pool, and the Hell Furnace instantly unfolded. In an instant, countless Gui Water Qi from deep underground was refined and then poured into the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist.
Shi Jian's Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist also underwent some transformation. Around him, countless Water Qi flowed, making a sound like a waterfall descending from a ten-thousand-foot mountain. It was also like a great river surging. His power surged. With the Hell Furnace, Shi Jian instantly killed the group of Gui Water Spirit Monster strange fish that had gushed out from underground. He felt his magic power suddenly become much deeper.
"If we had come here when our strength was weaker, it would have been good. Training here really tests one's combat power," Lin Dong spoke with some emotion. This Five Elements Land was indeed peculiar. All kinds of Yao Beasts had their unique characteristics.
Even if one hadn't cultivated the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability, just coming here for experience and training one's spells would be beneficial. As long as one didn't die, one would definitely be able to transcend and become a Saint after leaving. It was an excellent training ground.
However, for the people in the group, the Five Elements Land didn't serve much of a training purpose now. It could only be used as a dungeon for grinding Five Elements Vital Qi. It was still very useful for Luo Feng. His strength here would definitely put him on the brink of life and death. But the other people in the group had no pressure.
Only the so-called sacred beasts could cause them some trouble, but it was only some trouble. Even with these Five Elements Yao Beasts and those Heavenly Demons, Meng Qi and Shi Jian also had the strength to sweep through them. Unless an ancient Demonic Venerable, in a fit of recklessness, decided to attack them.
Of course, "If you lack life-and-death training, you should have said so earlier. I have a bunch of bosses waiting for you to fight," Shi Jian replied to Lin Dong.
"No, you'd better wait a bit longer…" Lin Dong quickly waved his hand. He had seen Liu Shen punish those so-called Sect Masters and Supreme beings last time. Don't look at how those Sect Masters and Supreme beings were nothing in Liu Shen's hands; their terrifying aura still left Lin Dong with a lingering fear.
If he really faced those Sect Masters and Supreme beings, that wouldn't be training; it would be certain death. Although Lin Dong yearned for battle, he didn't want to seek death. The Perfect World dungeon, he would go after he became stronger.
While the few of them were talking, Luo Feng finally finished absorbing the Fire Vital Qi from the group of fire crows. His strength was indeed a bit low. Even with the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, it still took some time to absorb so much Fire Vital Qi. Shi Jian and Meng Qi had both finished before him.
"Let's continue deeper inside…" After seeing him finish, the few of them continued walking deeper into the Five Elements Land. They hadn't walked many steps. From afar, countless figures suddenly appeared on the horizon. These people were seven or eight times their height; they were giants.
These giants had wooden patterns on their bodies. They were clearly wooden giants. Hundreds of them, a massive army of wooden giants. The wooden giants leaped violently, jumping extremely high, like large birds, gliding through the air and landing with thuds. They held wooden weapons: wooden axes, wooden spears, wooden swords, and wooden forks.
Their eyes were emerald green, filled with ferocity and brutality. As soon as they saw Shi Jian and his group, they immediately charged over.
"Oh ho, now the Wood Element Qi is also gathered… If this were in a game, there would at least be an achievement for [Five Elements Monster]." Shi Jian let out a light chuckle. They had only just entered the Five Elements Land and had already seen all the monsters formed from the Five Elements.
"Sigh… I thought the Wood Vital Qi would form elves, why are they wooden giants…" Xiao Yan sighed, his words seemingly filled with regret.
As soon as he said that, everyone glanced at him, their eyes filled with disdain.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Don't have any other thoughts, it's just a simple stereotype… Aren't spirits of nature all elves?" Xiao Yan felt everyone's disdain and quickly tried to argue.
"Is that what you call a stereotype? I've read novels from Earth too, treants have more authority than elves… Your thoughts, I don't even want to talk about them!" Lin Dong immediately retorted with disdain.
Lin Dong: "If you don't want to talk about me, then why are you talking?" His CPU fried, Lin Dong couldn't think of how to refute Xiao Yan.
"This time, let me practice. Monsters composed of Wood Element…" Shi Hao, unable to stay idle, stepped out.
