Chapter 25: The Five Elements of Gold, Fire

Qu Yi absorbed only one dou of chaotic energy from the chaotic energy flow, and only a quarter of his true body transformed into a chaotic form. However, he knew that after his five avatars withstood one round of attacks from the ten beings from the upper realm, all their original energies had been exhausted, leaving them unable to resist further attacks. Thus, when sensing the menacing approach of those ten beings, Qu Yi certainly wouldn’t let his five avatars die in vain.
“I’ll take a detour to avoid you for now and find another planet. Once my true body has transformed into a chaotic form, I’ll settle accounts with you,” Qu Yi said coldly.
Suddenly, his true body emerged from the chaotic energy flow, and he ordered his five avatars to enter the Subterranean Shuttle. Using the earth-based original energy from the Star Luo Ding, he propelled the shuttle to travel through the planet once again.
This planet had already suffered attacks from fourteen immortal-level spells, plus the energy shocks caused by Qu Yi’s five avatars’ battles, turning it into a dead planet as it cracked apart piece by piece. As Qu Yi flew out of the planet, he heard the cracking sounds—clearly, the planet was splitting on its own.
The Subterranean Shuttle took Qu Yi back into space.
Seeing Qu Yi trying to escape again, the ten beings from the upper realm immediately activated their mid-tier immortal weapons and pursued him through space at their weapons’ speeds. In this realm of the five elements, spiritual sensing was limited, so to prevent Qu Yi from escaping, they had to stay close and track him visually.
Qu Yi, flying ahead, knew that these ten beings were relying on their eyesight rather than spiritual sensing to track him. Therefore, as he propelled the Subterranean Shuttle, he kept changing directions, forcing them to adjust as well.
Meanwhile, his five avatars inside the Subterranean Shuttle absorbed the five-element origin stones, restoring all their depleted original energies.
The ten beings chasing behind realized they couldn’t catch up and were amazed by the speed of the Subterranean Shuttle, while also growing angry at Qu Yi’s good fortune.
“Qu Yi, if you’ve got guts, stop right now!”
“Qu Yi, no matter how you try to escape, you must die. The gap between our realms is insurmountable.”
“Qu Yi, stop wasting your effort. How long can you keep escaping like this?”
“Qu Yi, hand over Emperor Hao’s treasures, and we might spare your life.”
……
As they pursued, the ten beings from the upper realm shouted one after another.

Qu Yi simply smiled indifferently, too lazy to respond to the ten people. He kept changing directions, urging the Subterranean Shuttle to fly faster.
The ten people from the upper realm were furious but helpless.
As these eleven pursued each other, the planet that had just shattered had already disappeared. Even more terrifyingly, due to the change in that planet, the energy in the surrounding starfield suddenly changed drastically. Various energies erupted, with countless streams of energy flashing back and forth like lightning.
The Great Perfection-stage beings from the ten sects had no choice but to deal carefully with these suddenly appearing terrifying energy turbulences.
The danger of the Five Elements Extreme Realm lay in its energy turbulences, which could at any moment give rise to dangerous celestial flames and cold winds.
The Great Perfection-stage cultivators of cultivation, magic, and demons gathered into three groups to jointly resist the incoming energy turbulences.
Suddenly, one of the cultivation Great Perfection-stage beings, with a frozen expression, cried out in fear, “It’s bad! The Heaven-Destroying Cold Wind has appeared!”
The Heaven-Destroying Cold Wind was a common type of cold wind among the chaotic energy streams in the Five Elements Extreme Realm. It moved together with the energy turbulences like a mass of cloth. This wind could erode the Origin Energy Shield, and if a Great Perfection-stage being’s Origin Energy was insufficient, they would be directly drained to death.
The being who cried out had just reached Great Perfection stage, and his accumulated Origin Energy was not enough. Realizing he could not withstand the attack of the Heaven-Destroying Cold Wind, he was extremely fearful.
This cry immediately caught the attention of all the Great Perfection-stage beings.
The Origin Energy Shields were all activated. The fifty-six Origin Energy Shields of the five elements in the starfield emitted lights of five different colors, creating a unique sight.
The Heaven-Destroying Cold Wind had no color, only a chilling aura, and its form seemed to change with the wind. It soon attacked the fifty-six Origin Energy Shields.
Cracks appeared in the shields, which then widened.
When the Great Perfection-stage beings saw their Origin Energy Shields being easily breached, they were shocked. They quickly poured out their Origin Energy to repair and strengthen the shields.
However, the Origin Energy within each Great Perfection-stage being was different. Some, having just reached this stage, had not refined enough Origin Energy and were showing signs of failing to hold on.
“Am I going to die in the Five Elements Extreme Realm?”
At that moment, several of the Great Perfection-stage cultivators, magic practitioners, and demon cultivators also thought with fear.

Before the Devastating Cold Wind could kill these weaker beings at the Mahayana stage, Qu Yi suddenly appeared. He was seated inside the Subterranean Shuttle, wrapped in the Floating Flame Silk, with the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
“Everyone, you’re really unlucky,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
Immediately afterward, he rushed to one of the beings at the Mahayana stage, thrusting out his Golden Sword to pierce through its essence energy shield and strike the being directly.
As the being’s Yuan Ying tried to escape by fleeing, Qu Yi took out the Wind-Controlling Drum and struck it swiftly. The drum’s sound carried a mesmerizing tone that knocked out the Yuan Ying.
Qu Yi quickly seized the Yuan Ying and placed it inside the Subterranean Shuttle, then continued to attack the nearby weaker beings at the Mahayana stage.
It turned out that while being chased by the ten beings from the upper realm, Qu Yi received a warning from the Artifact God. He learned that intense energy turbulence had arisen in this Five Elements Extreme Realm due to the battles between dozens of powerful beings at the Immortal level, trapping the Mahayana beings from the ten sects. Thus, Qu Yi decided to come here and kill them one by one.
Unfortunately, after killing four Mahayana beings and seizing their Yuan Ying, the ten beings from the upper realm chased after him again.
Seeing them approaching, Qu Yi had no choice but to use the Subterranean Shuttle to fly away, temporarily leaving the Mahayana beings of the ten sects behind.
The ten beings from the upper realm didn’t bother with those Mahayana beings at all; they continued to pursue Qu Yi alone, aiming only to obtain the Imperial Treasures on him before returning to the upper realm. The fate of these beings from the cultivation world meant nothing to them.
Seeing the ten beings chasing after him fiercely again, Qu Yi shrugged helplessly and continued to flee ahead.
“It’s a pity. Although I possess a mid-tier immortal artifact, using my Mahayana-stage avatar to control it doesn’t allow me to harm these Immortal-level strongmen. In fact, there’s even a risk of getting trapped. If my true self could achieve the Chaos Body, its unique chaos energy might allow me to harm them,” Qu Yi said sighingly as he flew.
“Qu Yi, don’t worry. You should reach the Mahayana stage soon. Huh… Qu Yi, be careful! It seems that Wu Jing Golden Fire has appeared in the sky ahead. Use the Subterranean Shuttle to enter it, then immediately head to the Star Luo Cauldron,” the Artifact God replied, suddenly noticing something and notifying Qu Yi right away.
Wu Jing Golden Fire had the same power as the Devastating Cold Wind, but opposite attributes—hot and cold.

The ten beings from the upper realm noticed Qu Yi’s movements and realized he intended to enter the Wu Jing Jin Huo in order to use it to block the function of spiritual awareness and escape.
“Qu Yi, do you want to die? That’s Wu Jing Jin Huo. As someone in the Tribulation Phase, you’ll surely die once you enter.”
“Qu Yi, this Wu Jing Jin Huo area is at least hundreds of thousands of miles wide—you won’t be able to fly out.”
“Qu Yi, for your own good, never enter the Wu Jing Jin Huo area; it will kill you.” …
The ten beings from the upper realm seemed to be offering advice out of kindness, but in reality, they were afraid that Qu Yi would die in that area, which could also damage Emperor Hao’s treasures and cause trouble.
After hearing their words, Qu Yi merely smiled coldly, activated his Hidden Earth Shuttle, and immediately dived into the Wu Jing Jin Huo area.
“Bastard!”
Seeing Qu Yi enter the Wu Jing Jin Huo, the ten beings stopped pursuing him immediately and stared blankly at that golden-flamed area, cursing angrily.
