NOVEL NEXT Chapter 521: The Annihilation of the Five Elements
The pinnacle of the Perfect Realm composite divine arts holds unimaginably terrifying power.
Whether or not the divine art is perfected is an entirely different matter.
Clearly, the Lu Changsheng before them was indeed a formidable opponent.
At the very least, the Taoist Monarch Qingxuan would have to use all of his techniques; otherwise, he might truly fail to take down Lu Changsheng.
"What a Lu Changsheng, a composite divine art at the Perfect Realm, combined with the Six Dao Laws. Almost everyone has underestimated you..."
Taoist Monarch Qingxuan's expression turned cold and solemn.
This time, he would no longer underestimate Lu Changsheng.
He would go all out!
"Hum."
In the next moment, Taoist Monarch Qingxuan abruptly summoned his magical treasure.
"Boom rumble."
A thunderous roar rang through the air.
In the void, a treasure tower suddenly materialized, its exact moment of appearance unknown.
The treasure tower glittered with arcs of lightning.
As the lightning flickered, a vast expanse of dark clouds swiftly converged in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the oppressive black clouds loomed overhead!
An overwhelming and terrifying aura filled the void.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, too stunned to make any noise.
"The Thunder Light Treasure Tower!"
Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian cried out in shock.
They immediately halted what they were doing.
Together with the other two Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs, they frantically retreated.
The Thunder Light Treasure Tower—its reputation was illustrious.
It was said that when the tower appeared, thunder would destroy the world!
Indeed, destroy the world!
The thunder unleashed by the Thunder Light Treasure Tower held apocalyptic power.
As long as Taoist Monarch Qingxuan activated the Thunder Light Treasure Tower, the outcome was essentially set in stone.
There would be no suspense.
"Zzzraaap."
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm shot forth from the Thunder Light Treasure Tower, streaking toward Lu Changsheng.
How fast was the lightning?
In almost the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng felt the Six Dao Laws around him being pierced through.
Even the power within his mind was pierced.
Even the Flame Flow encircling him seemed unable to fully block the lightning.
It could only hinder most of it, but in the end, the lightning still struck Lu Changsheng's body.
"Boom."
Half of Lu Changsheng's body was blown apart by the lightning.
However, such injuries meant little to a Dao Foundation martial artist.
The life force of a Dao Foundation martial artist was extraordinarily tenacious.
Especially within the mind; as long as it wasn't entirely obliterated in an instant, a Dao Foundation martial artist wouldn't die.
But even so, this strike was unimaginably devastating.
"So this is a peak Taoist Monarch, huh?"
"With a peak-level magical treasure, those standing at the pinnacle of the Dao Foundation are truly difficult to overcome."
Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
He could sense the immense power of the Thunder Light Treasure Tower.
But so what?
Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs relied on magical treasures, whereas Dao Foundation martial artists had divine arts!
Moreover, Lu Changsheng possessed no ordinary divine art.
At that moment, Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated.
"Small Five Elements Annihilation!"
The next moment, Lu Changsheng unleashed his divine art.
This was the strongest divine art he had mastered to date.
It fused together five distinct laws.
With the Flame Law as its core.
As soon as the Small Five Elements Annihilation divine art appeared, the surrounding void began to collapse.
The entire world seemed on the brink of shattering.
Moreover, everything in its path was utterly annihilated.
"What?"
Taoist Monarch Qingxuan's pupils shrank sharply.
What kind of divine art was this?
He had never encountered it before.
Not only had he never seen it, but he'd also never even heard of it.
Typically, powerful divine arts would be known to Taoist Monarch Qingxuan through reputation.
But the divine art that Lu Changsheng had just unleashed—its five-colored radiance flickering—
It was a composite divine art comprising five laws!
Taoist Monarch Qingxuan couldn't have imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that this was a peak composite divine art self-created and deduced by Lu Changsheng.
It was also the divine art most perfectly aligned with Lu Changsheng.
And it was directly a divine art at the Perfect Realm!
With all these factors combined, the divine art's destructive power soared to unimaginable heights!
This was also the first time Lu Changsheng had showcased the Small Five Elements Annihilation divine art in front of others, and the first time he had used it in battle.
Even Lu Changsheng himself was unclear about the full extent of the Small Five Elements Annihilation divine art's destructive power.
But now, Lu Changsheng knew.
What did he see?
From the center of the Small Five Elements Annihilation divine art he unleashed, the five-colored radiance spread out swiftly in all directions.
And wherever it spread, everything was silently annihilated.
But most terrifying of all?
The annihilated matter was somehow transformed into energy to fuel the Small Five Elements Annihilation, further amplifying its terrifying power.
"This is... conversion!"
"The Five Elements sustain themselves endlessly. As long as there is power from the Five Elements, the Small Five Elements Annihilation can convert it directly. Except for power derived from Five Elements Earth, all other elemental energies can be transformed."
"And most things in the world, in essence, are composed of the Five Elements..."
One thought after another flashed through Lu Changsheng's mind.
The Small Five Elements Annihilation swept across several of the halls and palaces below within the Taichang Sacred Land.
But those structures were all reduced to ash.
Vanished.
Completely vanished.
Not a trace was left, as though they had been devoured by some unseen force.
Even flowers, grass, and trees were obliterated.
Only the ground remained.
The sight was utterly horrifying, striking a deep fear into the hearts of all who beheld it.
"What kind of divine art is this?"
"Does our Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain possess such a technique?"
"This divine art..."
Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian were shaken to their cores as they witnessed the scene.
They simply couldn't believe their own eyes.
They were certain this was a divine art they had never seen before.
And it absolutely wasn't a divine art within the collection of the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain.
The Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain didn't have anything remotely this fearsome.
"Thunder Treasure Tower, Myriad Thunder Tribulation, descend!"
