Chapter 495 - 470 Five Elements Formation

Zhang didn’t answer, he just kept attacking.

The Nine-headed Falcon mustered all its strength, and the remaining heads turned blood-red, spewing blood-red light that was even more powerful, but it didn’t dare to attack, only dare to defend with all its might, while continuously pondering in its heart.

"This person comes from the Origin Continent, is it for the Three Emperors Command, could it be the Three Emperors Alliance?"

"But why would the Three Emperors Alliance want to kill the bearer of the Three Emperors Command? Right, this Three Emperors Command was thrown to me by Lu Yan, could it be because of Lu Yan that they actually want to kill Lu Yan? No wonder that Lu Yan would take the initiative to throw the Three Emperors Command to me, damn it..."

Just as the Nine-headed Falcon thought of this, with a ’pfft’, three more of its heads were chopped off by Zhang.

If it didn’t have nine heads, it would already be dead.

"You want to kill me not for me, it’s for that Lu Yan, it’s Lu Yan who gave the Three Emperors Command to me..."

The Nine-headed Falcon bellowed.

Zhang’s offensive indeed slowed down, and he said, "Lu Yan? Your Three Emperors Command, was it really actively given to you by Lu Yan? Not seized by you?"

"No, I won’t lie to you, Lu Yan and I have enmity too, I was in pursuit to kill him when he suddenly threw the Three Emperors Command to me. It’s said that the holder of the Three Emperors Command can be led by the Three Emperors Alliance, leaving the Wild Ocean towards the Origin Continent—I naturally couldn’t miss out."

The Nine-headed Falcon quickly said.

"Lu Yan should be the one who killed Xu Xuan. To think he’d actively throw away the Three Emperors Command—this is akin to using someone else’s hand, my hand, to kill these members of the Immortal Clan, haha, very clever."

Zhang guessed Lu Yan’s intention in an instant.

But he could only do just that, becoming that very knife.

Because now, the Nine-headed Falcon was the bearer of the Three Emperors Command, according to the rules of the trial, he must kill.

"Lu Yan..."

Zhang’s urge to kill was several times stronger than before in his heart.

Who was he?

A genius within the Three Emperors Alliance, high and mighty, to actually be used by a greenhorn from the Desolate Land, he deserved to be dismembered a thousand times over.

Boom!

Zhang’s aura surged explosively, becoming even more tyrannical than before.

From within his body, another Organ Miracle flew out, it was a golden giant ape, merging with his body, making his strength reach an astonishing level.

The Nine-headed Falcon was greatly startled, yelling, "What are you doing? You’ve killed the wrong person."

"Since you took the Three Emperors Command, your fate was already sealed, kill."

Zhang roared as he punched out.

Puff!

The Nine-headed Falcon could barely block one strike, but by the second, its body was blown to pieces, turning into a sky of blood rain.

Its Primordial Spirit was also caught in Zhang’s hand.

"Speak, where did that Lu Yan go?"

Zhang said coldly.

"The Graveyard of Soldiers, he ran into the Graveyard of Soldiers, I beg you, please spare me."

The Nine-headed Falcon pleaded.

"Inside the Graveyard of Soldiers?"

Zhang looked forward, feeling the turbulent Atmosphere of Arms, his expression became slightly solemn.

Puff!

His hand squeezed, and the Primordial Spirit of the Nine-headed Falcon burst like a balloon, turning into ashes.

"Kill all these members of the Immortal Clan, leave none alive."

Zhang commanded.

The other young men and women had already surrounded the Immortal Clan.

As the word of Zhang fell, these young men and women immediately took action. The strongest of the remaining members of the Immortal Clan were only at the Immortal Third Layer, no match for these young men and women. As soon as they fought, Immortal Clan members were killed.

Spurt!

An Immortal Third Layer member of the Immortal Clan barely broke through the encirclement, attempting to flee, but was intercepted by Zhang, a punch reducing him to minced meat.

"There’s still one Immortal Fourth Layer... but, doesn’t seem to be from the Immortal Clan."

Zhang’s gaze settled on Skull Fire Mountain’s Master, the ice-cold look made Skull Fire Mountain’s Master feel a chill, with feathers standing on end.

"Don’t kill me, I have a way to track Lu Yan’s location, the Graveyard of Soldiers is vast, without being able to track, it would be hard for you to pinpoint their location."

A light flashed in Skull Fire Mountain’s Master, who cried out loudly.

"Oh?"

Zhang became interested, stepping forward to Skull Fire Mountain’s Master’s side.

Skull Fire Mountain’s Master was rigid, not daring to fight back or flee.

She was very clear, there was no escape.

"Can you really track Lu Yan’s location? If you dare deceive me, I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead."

Zhang said coldly.

"I wouldn’t dare lie, Lu Yan’s wife is right by his side. I planted a Blood Soul Gu Mother in his wife’s body, which can track their exact position. As long as we find her location, we can nail down Lu Yan’s."

Skull Fire Mountain’s Master quickly replied.

"Good, if you can find Lu Yan, you can keep your life."

Zhang said.

Soon, the Immortal Clan members were slaughtered to the last.

"Lead the way."

Zhang’s gaze turned to Skull Fire Mountain’s Master, the killing intent in his eyes burning fiercely like flames.

Lu Yan, although now without the Three Emperors Command, daring to use him as a knife to eliminate an opponent, he was definitely on his must-kill list.

"This..."

At this moment, Skull Fire Mountain’s Master however hesitated.

"Do you want to die? Or did you deceive me before?"

Zhang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Skull Fire Mountain’s Master was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Do not misunderstand, it’s not that I don’t want to lead the way, but this Graveyard of Soldiers, is a burial ground for weapons. Within it are buried many terrifying weapons that have merged with the land itself, forming all sorts of dreadful terrains. Many powerhouses have entered throughout history, but few have come out alive."

"Is that so? Interesting, how did this Graveyard of Soldiers come about? Did someone deliberately collect weapons to bury here?"

Zhang asked.

Skull Fire Mountain’s Master shook her head and said, "That, we do not know. All we know is that the Graveyard of Soldiers formed after that world-shocking great battle over one hundred thousand years ago, the buried weapons are those broken and partly destroyed from that war."

"But some speculate that there might be a highly-ranked weapon inside, which is why other broken weapons are drawn to it and eventually form a Weapon Mound."

"That makes sense. Perhaps, this Weapon Mound could be the place of opportunity for me."

Zhang’s eyes shimmered with a fervent glow.

As long as the weapon itself is of a high enough rank, even some broken weapons are extremely valuable.

For example, Doctrine Soldiers, even in a damaged state, are astonishingly valuable and contain all sorts of mysteries.

Above Doctrine Soldiers are Creation Treasures, and above those are Supreme Treasures.

Such treasures, even if only a fragment remains, are incredibly valuable for research once taken out.

"Lead the way, don’t worry about anything else."

Zhang instructed.

With no choice, Skull Fire Mountain’s Master could only lead the way, urging her Primordial Spirit to act according to Spiritual Sense, quickly locating Shen Yinuo’s position.

"Everyone, please follow me."

Skull Fire Mountain’s Master led the way, flying into the Weapon Mound, with Zhang and the others following close behind.

Upon entering the Weapon Mound, Zhang and the others immediately noticed that the terrain was indeed extraordinary and quite terrifying.

"The treasure bestowed by my ancestral master can finally be put to use."

Zhang thought to himself, waving his hand, and a talisman appeared, floating in the air.

Infused with Immortal Power, the talisman glowed, and then, a piece of a metal stick flew out from it.

The metal stick, a part of an unknown weapon, could have been a spear, a lance, a halberd, or anything similar.

It was covered in cracks, but the aura it emitted was exceptionally terrifying. Everyone present was a being of the Immortal Realm, yet felt inconceivably insignificant under its presence.

Zhang urged the metal stick to enlarge, then soared and landed on it.

"Everyone, get on."

Zhang said.

The group boarded the metal stick, and with Skull Fire Mountain’s Master navigating, they flew rapidly towards the deep parts of the Weapon Mound.

....

With Thunder Sword leading the way, Lu Yan and company encountered almost no obstacles and quickly reached the deep parts of the Weapon Mound.

Upon reaching a certain area, the Thunder Sword stopped on its own.

Ahead was a massive mountain range.

No, to be precise, it was not one range but five.

Their Spiritual Sense spread out, revealing the entire landscape of the mountain range.

The five mountain ranges, each with different attributes corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, were connected head to tail, forming a circle.

"The terrain formed by five weapons, connecting to create a huge Formation, is this naturally formed or man-made?"

Lu Yan detected something amiss.

Mr. World examined closely, his expression grave, and said, "No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem natural, strange."

"Lu Yan, I can sense that my other half, the blade body, is inside these five mountain ranges," Jin Ming’s voice sounded.

"Let’s go inside and have a look."

Lu Yan urged the Dao Book forward, attempting to leap over the mountain range and enter its interior.

Suddenly, the mountain range in front of them lit up.

The golden glow was blinding, transforming into a golden sword that slashed towards them.

Lu Yan’s face changed color as he hastily commanded the Thunder Sword to retreat while blocking the attack.

Mr. World and Shen Yinuo also exerted their full power.

Boom!

The golden Sword Light fell, and their attacks were instantly shattered, forcing them to retreat explosively.

"What’s going on? With the Thunder Sword, we’ve come all this way without facing any attacks from the terrain. Why would the terrain here attack us?"

Lu Yan said.

Mr. World and Shen Yinuo were also at a loss for words.

"No wonder it hasn’t responded to my calls to merge; it’s trapped. These five mountains have trapped it," Jin Ming’s voice echoed again in Lu Yan’s mind.

Lu Yan communicated Jin Ming’s message to Mr. World and Shen Yinuo.

"Let’s take a look around."

Mr. World suggested.

They circled the mountain range.

Mr. World observed and pondered simultaneously.

"This Formation is extraordinary, using five different terrains to lay out the Five Elements Array, which is meant to refine the weapon inside," Mr. World said.

Lu Yan’s expression changed, and the Thunder Sword also trembled slightly.

Was the other half of the Thunder Sword in danger because it was being refined?

"Senior, is there a way to break it?"

Lu Yan asked.

"There is. To disrupt it is actually quite simple. The Five Elements Formation can be disrupted by breaking one of the elements, then the rest will collapse on their own."

"I observed carefully just now, and there might still be Artifact Spirits inside these five mountains. If we defeat or refine the Artifact Spirit of one of these mountains, we can break the Five Elements Array and save the weapons trapped inside," Mr. World explained.

"It seems we have no choice but to do this. Let’s choose the one with the Fire Attribute then," Lu Yan said.

He and Shen Yinuo both possessed the Fire Attribute and had cultivated the Rule of Fire, which should make handling it relatively easier.

Having chosen their target, they landed on the ground, concealed their aura, and quietly approached.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Suddenly, several figures, like ghosts, rushed towards Lu Yan and his companions.
