Chapter 0502: The Planar War Begins

Hogan is dead, Harry is dead, Hammi is dead!
The three leaders of the Red Flame, Earth, and Dark Water sects have all been killed by the Yellow Dragon. So what’s next? It will be the leaders of the Gold and Green Wood sects!
The gods of the Five Elements Continent were shocked and began to discuss among themselves, guessing that the Yellow Dragon would next head to the Gold and Green Wood continents to kill the remaining two sect leaders, thereby unifying the Five Elements Continent!
Unifying the Five Elements Continent was the original goal of Hogan, Harry, Hammi, and the others who founded the Five Elements Divine Sect!
However, the strength of each sect in the Five Elements Divine Sect was roughly equal, so no one could break this balance. Although the five sects had been fighting among themselves for years, overall they had maintained a state of peace.
But now, all this balance has been shattered by the arrival of the Yellow Dragon!
After Harry and Hammi died, news spread that the strongest warriors from the two sects had defected to the Yellow Dragon.
By “strongest warriors,” they meant the most powerful figures in each sect. Naturally, their defection meant that all the gods of those sects also submitted to the Yellow Dragon.
In this way, the Yellow Dragon now controlled the forces of the Red Flame, Earth, and Dark Water sects, overpowering the Green Wood and Gold sects.
To the gods’ surprise, however, the Yellow Dragon did not head straight to the Green Wood and Gold continents. Instead, he took the strongest warriors from the Earth sect to the Earth Divine Mountain.
Even those following the Yellow Dragon, such as Abut, the elder of the Earth sect, were puzzled and did not understand his intentions.
More than a month later, the Yellow Dragon and his companions arrived at the Earth Divine Mountain.
The Earth Divine Mountain resembled the Red Flame Divine Mountain in shape, except that red-hot air currents surrounded the Red Flame Divine Mountain, making it extremely hot, while the Earth Divine Mountain was surrounded by earth-yellow air currents, giving off a gentle atmosphere.
Upon arriving at the Earth Divine Mountain, just as he had ordered Amo and the others at the Red Flame Divine Mountain, the Yellow Dragon told Abut and the others not to approach whatever was happening inside the mountain’s core.
Abut and the others respectfully agreed. But after the Yellow Dragon entered the core of the mountain, they exchanged puzzled looks.
Throughout the journey, although they had already accepted the Yellow Dragon as their leader, returning to the Earth Divine Mountain filled them with complexity. More than two months ago, they had left the mountain under Hammi’s leadership, but now they were returning following the Yellow Dragon.
After a while, one elder murmured, “Did the leader rush here all the way just to enter the core of the mountain?”
The other two elders also began to guess.
Abut, on the other hand, gazed thoughtfully at the Yellow Dragon’s disappearing figure.

While the four were guessing, suddenly, the entire Wu Tu Divine Mountain began to shake. Just like with the Chi Yan Divine Mountain before, a few days later, the gods of Wu Tu Divine Mountain witnessed a scene they would never forget.
…
More than two months later.
On this day, a figure appeared out of thin air above the Xuan Shui Divine Mountain—it was Huang Long, who had merged the energy of Wu Tu Divine Mountain and come to Xuan Shui Divine Mountain.
“This Xuan Shui Divine Mountain is indeed as beautiful and enchanting as the legends say,” Huang Long thought to himself as he gazed at the mountain below.
Below, blue streams of water flowed through the space surrounding the mountain, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere that felt like being in a dreamlike realm.
Huang Long stayed in mid-air for a moment before flashing down to the Xuan Shui Divine Temple at the summit of the mountain. With the energy of Wu Tu Divine Mountain merged into his body, he finally broke through to the early peak of Tai Yi Jin Xian and reached the middle stage of Tai Yi Jin Xian. So, what would happen if he merged the energy of Xuan Shui Divine Mountain now?
“Master!” As Huang Long landed in the Xuan Shui Divine Temple, the four elders of the Xuan Shui Divine Sect stepped forward to greet him respectfully. They had already been informed of Huang Long’s arrival, so they had been waiting at the temple earlier.
Huang Long nodded and then told them to stand up.
After that, he didn’t say much. Just as before, he instructed the four not to approach no matter what happened inside the core of Xuan Shui Divine Mountain, then he began to merge with its energy.
However, this time, Huang Long encountered some difficulties while merging with the energy of Xuan Shui Divine Mountain. Whether it was due to the interaction between the five elements or some other reason, merging with this mountain was more than ten times slower than merging with Chi Yan Divine Mountain and Wu Tu Divine Mountain!
Compared to before, the shaking of Xuan Shui Divine Mountain was also much less intense.
It took over a month for Huang Long to finally merge the energy of Xuan Shui Divine Mountain.
And as he had predicted, after merging its energy, his strength reached the peak of the middle stage of Tai Yi Jin Xian!
Yet, despite this, Huang Long wasn’t happy. Judging from the strength gains from merging the energies of the three divine mountains—Chi Yan, Wu Tu, and Xuan Shui—he would only reach the late stage of Tai Yi Jin Xian if he merged the energy of Geng Jin Divine Mountain next, and would only reach the peak of that stage after merging the energy of Qing Mu Divine Mountain!
In other words, he still couldn’t return to the realm of Da Luo Jin Xian!
If he couldn’t reach Da Luo Jin Xian, even with the Chaos Bell, he would likely be unable to resist the sucking force of the black hole vortex and escape this realm of the five elements!

Although it was only a matter of time before the Yellow Dragon reached the realm of Da Luo Jin Xian through cultivation, the problem now was that a plane war would break out in over 90,000 years. If the Yellow Dragon only achieved that realm millions of years later, by then the plane war would have already ended! What would the various godly planes say if no news came of the Yellow Dragon joining the battle? “Forget it for now. We’ll deal with it after merging the God Mountain of Geng Jin and the God Mountain of Qing Mu,” thought the Yellow Dragon atop the Xuan Shui Divine Temple. “Master,” at that moment, the four elders of the Xuan Shui Divine Sect entered. “What is it?” asked the Yellow Dragon. “Fukun, the leader of the God Sect of Geng Jin, and Muna, the leader of the God Sect of Qing Mu, have arrived. They wish to see you, Master!” said Elder Bank. “Oh?” The Yellow Dragon was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Fukun and Muna to come “visit” him, and moreover, together. After some thought, the Yellow Dragon said, “Invite them in!” He wanted to see what their purpose for coming together was this time. “Yes, Master!” The four replied respectfully before leaving. Soon after, they brought in a man and a woman. The middle-aged man was Fukun, the leader of the God Sect of Geng Jin, while the green-haired woman was Muna, the leader of the God Sect of Qing Mu. What shocked the Yellow Dragon even more was that as soon as the two entered the hall with the four elders, they bowed in submission to him, expressing their willingness to submit. The four elders also stared in astonishment at Fukun and Muna showing such submission. The Yellow Dragon looked at them and said, “Stand up.” “Thank you, Master!” They replied respectfully and stood up. Although the Yellow Dragon hadn’t yet agreed to accept them, they had already changed the way they addressed him. In fact, their submission to the Yellow Dragon was out of necessity. If they refused to submit, their fate would undoubtedly be the same as Hogan, Harry, and Hammi. This was the Five Elements Space, different from the godly planes. In the godly planes, they could still choose to flee to other planes, but here, there was no choice. “Since you are willing to submit to me, then now, swear by the name of the Creator,” said the Yellow Dragon. Since the two were willing to submit voluntarily, he didn’t “refuse” either. After all, it wasn’t a bad thing for him either. Hearing that the Yellow Dragon wanted them to swear by the name of the Creator, Fukun and Muna hesitated none and immediately took their oaths before him.

In fact, before coming here, the two of them already knew that the Yellow Dragon would make them swear such an oath, so it wasn’t a surprise. Of course, they were also aware of the consequences of swearing by the name of the Creator—once they did, they could never go back on it, or else they would be punished by the rules and powers created by the Creator. Yet for them, who only wanted to live a simple life, this might not necessarily be a bad thing. If Fukuun and Mona submitted, it meant the Yellow Dragon had unified the Five Elements Continent! The five great divine sects—Red Flame, Earthly Earth, Mysterious Water, Metallic Metal, and Green Wood—were all under the control of the Yellow Dragon, who became the sole leader of these sects. Before long, news spread across the Five Elements Continent that Fukuun and Mona had submitted to the Yellow Dragon, and soon after, news of the unification of the five divine sects under his leadership also spread. With the Yellow Dragon as their leader and five grand elders overseeing the sects on his behalf, he now had twenty-three peerless warriors at his disposal! Twenty-three such powerful warriors! Such a force could dominate even the supreme divine realms like the Netherworld or Hell. Of course, overall, the Yellow Dragon’s power still paled in comparison to super-large families like those in the Netherworld, such as the Runings. After unifying the Five Elements Continent, the Yellow Dragon merged the energies of the Metallic Metal Divine Mountain and the Green Wood Divine Mountain, further boosting his strength to the peak of the late Taiyi Golden Immortal stage! Five years later, the Yellow Dragon returned to the black hole once again. But when he, at the peak of the late Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, tried to use the Chaos Bell to escape from the black hole and leave the Five Elements Continent, the black hole’s sucking force prevented him from moving forward. “It seems that only by reaching the Da Luo Golden Immortal stage can I hope to escape this Five Elements realm!” the Yellow Dragon sighed inwardly as he was forced back by the black hole. Though reluctant, he had no other choice. In the end, he had to turn back to the Five Elements Divine Mountain. There, he could only focus on cultivation, striving to reach the Da Luo Golden Immortal stage as soon as possible so he could leave this realm. Meanwhile, Bradd, the twenty-four Bogues, the members of the Huang family, and Wayne, the new disciple of the Yellow Dragon, also began to cultivate hard in this realm. Thus, year after year passed. Although Bradd’s strength didn’t improve significantly, the strength of the twenty-four Bogues, the Huang family members, and Wayne improved rapidly. Ten thousand years passed, then twenty thousand years—gradually, as the time for the realm war in a hundred thousand years drew near, everyone reached the realm of higher gods!

It was not the twenty-four members of Borg nor the Huang family who first reached the rank of Upper God, but Wayne, who possessed a natural Fire Virtue body! By this time, a hundred thousand years had passed.
