Chapter 24: Five Avatars Take Action

The three demon-human beings from the Demon Realm—Yi Xi, Chen Yan, and Rong Han—along with the four beings from the Immortal Realm, simultaneously drew out their mid-tier demon weapons and began attacking the planet.

Yi Xi held a palm-sized golden bead. When it struck the ground, all the land vanished as if absorbed by the bead. A chasm ten miles wide formed right there, sinking deep into the planet’s core.

Chen Yan held a red lotus lantern. With the activation of his demonic energy, flames ignited within the lantern, taking on the shape of lotus flowers that drifted down to the planet’s surface. The land instantly turned to nothingness, and a ten-mile-wide flaming chasm quickly formed, spreading straight toward the planet’s core.

Rong Han held a half-moon shovel. With the activation of his demonic energy, yellow arcs emerged from the shovel’s tip. When these arcs touched the ground, fissures appeared, and all the land disappeared. The arcs continued to advance toward the planet’s core as if devouring everything in their path.

Meanwhile, the fifteen Great Perfection-stage cultivators of magic combined their forces to use the combined skill “Ten Directions of Demon Energy Blood Spray.” Their primal energies converged into a single attack, creating a palm-sized red energy mass that resembled spurting blood. When this “blood” landed on the planet, it rapidly spread across an area ten miles wide. Soon, the land sank suddenly, while the “blood” continued to penetrate downward, seemingly intent on devouring all the land beneath.

The four attacks from the magic cultivators also caused immense damage to the planet.

Similarly, the fiend cultivators also launched attacks on the planet.

The three primordial fiends from the Fiend Realm—Jun Wei, Zhuo Hong, and Qi Jia—drawned out their mid-tier fiend weapons and launched fierce attacks on the planet.

Jun Wei held a golden curved sword that shone like the sun. With the activation of his fiendly energy, the sword spun and slashed the planet’s surface, splitting it in two. A fissure nearly a hundred miles long formed, reaching deep into the planet’s core.

Zhuo Hong held a yellow long bow, with a yellow feathered arrow already nocked. As his fiendly energy was channeled, the arrow shot forth like lightning, piercing the ground and disappearing instantly. Shortly after, a hundred-meter-wide chasm appeared, with soil and rocks seemingly consumed by the spatial attack created by the arrow.

Qi Jia held a blue, glowing water ball in his hand—about half the size of his palm. Driven by the power of the Fiendly Essence, the ball fell to the ground, where it began pouring water into the soil like the waters of the nine heavens. Under the force of the flowing water, the soil vanished entirely; it seemed as though each drop of water created its own space, carrying away all the earth and stones in its path.

Seventeen beings at the Mahayana stage from three Fiend Cultivation sects came forward—ten of them—together casting the “Nine Heavens Fiendly Essence Star-Slicing Technique.” Their vital energies converged into a single point, forming a star-like entity that resembled a glowing planet in the distant sky.

Suddenly, this star-like entity plummeted downward as if falling from the heavens, moving at incredible speed. Upon reaching the ground, it transformed into a long sword resembling a comet and slashed into the earth. Instantly, the ground cracked and roared, and a wide fissure appeared—reaching all the way to the core of the planet.

On the side of cultivators, the combined attack power was equivalent to that of six Immortals; on the side of demons, it was equivalent to that of four Demons; while on the side of Fiend Cultivators, it was equivalent to that of four Primordial Fiends. All of their spells were directed at the planet, all reaching its core.

The ground, craters, and fissures were truly terrifying.

……

Qu Yi sat inside his Earth-Diving Shuttle and arrived at the core of the planet without any obstacles.

Suddenly, Qu Yi stopped the shuttle. A smile appeared on his face—he had discovered that the core of this planet was filled with Chaos Energy. Now, his true body had approached this Chaos Energy. As he stretched out his hand, he felt the immense Chaos Energy flowing into his body.

“Qu Yi, what are you waiting for? Immerses your entire body in the Chaos Energy. The energy here can transform half of your body into a Chaos Body,” the Artifact God transmitted joyfully.

Before entering the Five Elements Extreme Realm, Qu Yi had already used nearly 20,000 Chaos Crystals he obtained on Tianyi Star on meteorites in the starry sky, only managing to transform about 10% of his body into a Chaos Body. Now, with the entire core of this planet being Chaos Energy, it would only be enough to transform half of his true body into a Chaos Body.

“Good. Let my five avatars hold off for a while while I absorb all this Chaos Energy,” Qu Yi laughed loudly before diving into the Chaos Energy.

His five avatars—Gold Sovereign, Wood Sovereign, Water Sovereign, Fire Sovereign, and Earth Sovereign—each wielded a mid-tier Immortal Artifact: the Golden Sword, the Wind-Controlling Drum, the Water-Dividing Pot, the Fire-Weaving Silk, and the Earth-Diving Shuttle—ready to fend off the pursuit of the ten beings from the upper realm.

After Qu Yi’s true body entered the chaotic energy, that chaotic energy spontaneously penetrated his body, washing away all the original five-element energies and transforming them into chaotic energy. His true body was undergoing this transformation comfortably. Meanwhile, his five avatars also sensed, above the planet’s core, fourteen energy waves capable of destroying the entire planet, realizing that the ten beings from the upper realm and those at the Mahayana stage were jointly attacking the planet. Once the planet was destroyed, the ten beings from the upper realm wouldn’t need to play hide-and-seek underground with Qu Yi—they could pursue him directly. “Hmph, I’m transforming my body—how could I let you disturb me?” the five avatars of Qu Yi shouted simultaneously. They flew to different locations, ready to confront the fourteen powerful energy waves attacking from above. These energy waves were created by mid-tier immortal weapons, primarily using spatial attacks with great destructive power. If lower-tier immortal weapons were used to resist, it wouldn’t be difficult, as there was only one level difference in cultivation. Fortunately, all five avatars had mid-tier immortal weapons, allowing them to engage head-on. The Golden Lord first headed toward the direction of Zong Xi’s magical attack, wielding his mid-tier immortal sword, Shang Jin Jian, and swiftly swung it, generating sword energy to counter Zong Xi’s sword beams. Although the Golden Lord was only at the Mahayana stage, his power derived from the metal element allowed him to block Zong Xi’s already weakened attacks. Almost instantly, he moved to the direction where Yi Xi’s golden bead was falling, again swinging Shang Jin Jian to create a sphere of metal energy. This sphere contained its own independent space and collided directly with the golden bead. The collision between the two spaces resulted in neither gaining an advantage, and both were pushed apart. As a result, Yi Xi’s golden bead did not fly toward the planet’s core but veered in another direction. The Wood Lord flew to the direction of Feng Qu’s magical attack. With a strike of his Wind-Controlling Drum, waves of wood element energy surged forth like ocean waves, countering Feng Qu’s green-colored wood element energy. Then, the Wood Lord headed to the direction of Jun Wei’s magical attack, striking his Wind-Controlling Drum again. The drum’s sound resonated, and intense wood element energy rushed forth like a flood, blocking Jun Wei’s energy attacks with his curved sword. The Water Lord went to the direction of Qi Jia’s magical attack. He shook his Water-Dividing Pot, causing countless tidal waves to surge out, diluting and absorbing Qi Jia’s water flow into the planet. Moments later, the Water Lord moved to the direction of Zhuo Hong’s magical attack. He shook his Water-Dividing Pot once more, and a highly concentrated water arrow shot out, directly meeting Zhuo Hong’s feather arrows.

Fire Lord flew in the direction of Yan Xuan’s magical attack, unfurled the Fire Silk, and plunged straight into the sea of molten lava created by Yan Xuan’s spell. Moving like a fish in water, Fire Lord swam around and dispersed the entire sea of molten lava.

The next moment, Fire Lord headed toward Chen Yan’s magical attack direction, once again using the Fire Silk to envelop the lotus flames falling into the chasms and extinguish them instantly.

Earth Lord went to Qiu Rui’s magical attack direction, sitting in his Subterranean Shuttle and moving constantly to disrupt the attacks from the Ten Nail Rakes, greatly reducing their power.

After a while, Earth Lord moved to Rong Han’s magical attack direction, still seated in his Subterranean Shuttle, and deflected the arcs emitted by the Half-Moon Shovel, scattering them.

Qu Yi’s five avatars, each dealing with two opponents, blocked the magical attacks of the ten people from the upper realm, preventing their spells from reaching the planet’s core.

As for the Great Perfection-stage beings from the ten major sects, who combined their forces to unleash four combined skills, Qu Yi’s five avatars ignored them. These four combined skills were equivalent to the attacking power of four Immortal Humans, unlike the ten people in the upper realm, each wielding a mid-tier Immortal Artifact—whose power was that of Earth Immortals.

Thus, the five avatars didn’t need to deal with those four combined skills. Indeed, those skills ran out of energy before reaching the planet’s core.

Nevertheless, the ten people in the upper realm were all shocked.

“How is this possible? Since when does Qu Yi have five Great Perfection-stage subordinates?”

“Damn it! Qu Yi must have obtained mid-tier Immortal Artifacts in the Vast Heaven Immortal Mansion—five of them. These five Great Perfection-stage figures are probably puppets he got there too.”

“Hmph. Five mid-tier Immortal Artifacts may have blocked our attacks, but a Great Perfection-stage being can only block them once. Now, I wonder what Qu Yi will use to defend himself next.”

“If Qu Yi has gotten all the mid-tier Immortal Artifacts from the Vast Heaven Immortal Mansion, then the top-tier Immortal Artifact, the Vast Heaven Sword, once used by the Emperor of Heaven, must also be in his possession. Hmph! We must capture Qu Yi and obtain the interdimensional artifact needed by the Planet Lord. I’ll take the Vast Heaven Sword for myself.”

…

The ten people in the upper realm were in shock, their minds racing. Almost simultaneously, they flew toward the planet’s core through the cracks and chasms they had created, determined to confront Qu Yi’s five avatars.

Even amidst the chaotic energy, Qu Yi could sense what was happening outside. After all, the souls of his six bodies were essentially one; whatever his avatars sensed, his true self knew right away.

“Those ten guys are really annoying,” Qu Yi thought gloomily.
