Perfect World - Chapter 408
Five Elements Ring
This garden was completely silent, and no one dared to speak randomly. Shi Hao was too domineering. He was berating the Immortal Mountain’s elder without any restraint. No one dared to speak now because they didn’t want to become the target of the Immortal Mountain’s resentment. That would definitely be an undeserved disaster.
“Young man, you have to leave a way out for everything. If you’re so ruthless, in the end, you will find that not only will you cut off the path of others, but you will also cut off your own path,” said Qin Shoucheng.
His expression was extremely ugly. As an elder of the Immortal Mountain in the mortal world, no one dared defy him, let alone scold him. Who did Shi Hao think he was?!
“Leave a way out? You can bully others and kill them as you please. If others resist, you call that ‘being ruthless’? From what I see, you aren’t muddle-headed. You’re just too used to being domineering,” Shi Hao said coldly, extremely discontented.
Qin Shoucheng’s face darkened. “Ever since you entered the garden, you recklessly started a slaughter, killing my fellow cultivators. With such vicious energy, no one will tolerate you!”
“Cut the crop. Don’t try to act hypocritical. If you want to take action, then just do it. Let’s see what you can possibly do to me.” Shi Hao stood his ground.
Even though he was only fifteen years old, his body had long matured. He was tall, and his hair was pitch-black. His aura was extraordinary, and his eyes were bright and spirited as he looked down on everyone.
“What a young hero!” An old uncle from the Fire Nation said softly and nodded. Shi Hao was an outstanding teenager. Once he was given time to grow up, there would definitely be a day when he could overlook the world.
Qin Shoucheng’s face was livid. “Fine! You really are a piece of work! Not many people dared provoke the Immortal Mountain in history. Even if you are related to my clan, it is still difficult for you to escape severe punishment. With such disgraceful behavior, you’ll lose your cultivation ability!”
He then turned around to look at the crowd and said, “Are there any friends who are willing to subdue demons with the Immortal Mountain?”
Everyone broke out into a cold shiver. Qin Shoucheng was using the Immortal Mountain’s name. That was serious, and many people would answer the call.
Sure enough, the Black Cloud Race’s elders immediately stood out. His palm was blasted apart by Shi Hao, so how could he let this matter go?
Moo…
The Barbaric Bull’s roar made everyone here sway. A scarlet bull surrounded by fiery light walked over. This was an old bull king who had already appeared before to deal with Shi Hao.
A few others were restless. Everyone believed in the Immortal Mountain’s ability.
“If you want to attack me, then think twice before you do that. Don’t blame me for not warning you all.” Shi Hao’s purple robes fluttered about. He looked more and more heroic as if he was a young divine king. Two streaks of cold lightning shot out from his eyes.
Everyone shivered inwardly. This was a youth who had killed supreme experts. Even though he did it in the Void God Realm, it was still enough to see that his potential was endless. The others stopped in their tracks.
Qin Shoucheng smiled a little as if he had forgotten about his discontent just now. He calmed down and said, “Having two fellow cultivators is enough.”
In that instant, he opened his mouth and spat out a sphere of light that was an inch in size. It blossomed with five colors and quickly enlarged. This was a precious ring that seemed to be made of neither metal nor stone. It released a strange fluctuation.
Everyone wanted to back up, fearing that they would be sucked in. However, everyone was horrified. The entire courtyard was restricted, and were unable to move as if they were stuck in a swamp.
“What’s going on? Why can’t I move?”
“My body is restricted, and my true essence is unable to circulate!”
The group of people were horrified as they looked at the precious ring. Everyone understood that this was definitely caused by the divine might released by a precious artifact.
“Senior, we are not participating in the battle, so why are we still frozen?”
“Senior of the Immortal Mountain, this has nothing to do with us!”
This precious artifact was too powerful. No wonder Qin Shoucheng didn’t feel any fear. This was a great killing weapon that could lock down all of the capable people here and imprison everyone. It was just so terrifying.
“Everyone, there is no need to panic. It has nothing to do with you all. This precious artifact is too powerful and can seal this whole place. I will send you all out.” Qin Shoucheng was extremely calm.
This was a type of intimidation. He was displaying the power of the Immortal Mountain. It was just a precious artifact, yet it was enough to seal up an entire area. All cultivators within this area would be suppressed.
Everyone shivered inwardly. Just now, if they made him their enemy, wouldn’t that mean that the Immortal Mountain could kill everyone?!
Multicolored light flashed. Qin Shoucheng controlled the five-colored precious ring suspended in midair, sweeping everyone out and restoring their freedom.
Everyone’s heart was pounding. Even the king-level figures felt a wave of lingering fear. The Immortal Mountain was too terrifying.
Both Princess Qianqian and Huo Ling’er paled. Just now, they were also within the range of the ring. That precious ring was formidable.
There were only a few people left on the battlefield. Shi Hao, the Nine-Headed Lion, and the big red bird were the three trapped. Apart from them, there was also the Flaming Bull Race’s king, the Black Cloud Race’s elder, and Qin Shoucheng.
Outside the arena, the middle-aged man with the broken arm sneered and said, “Under the Five Elements Ring, I’d like to see just how astonishing you are!”
Half of his face was smashed, and his cultivation was crippled. Qin Chao’s eyes were full of resentment as he said, “Elder Qin, suppress that Nine-Headed Lion and make it my mount. I want to ride on Shi Hao’s sworn brother and watch him be killed.”
Qin Chao hated Shi Hao to the core and wished to personally humiliate the latter. Unfortunately, he was far from being Shi Hao’s match.
Inside the arena, the golden lion’s entire body shone, but it couldn’t move at all. There was a tremendous force pressing down on it, making it feel more and more uncomfortable as it struggled. Its heart was pounding. This precious artifact was too powerful and unable to resist at all. If the lion couldn’t struggle free, it would get killed.
The big red bird was also scared. Its body was restricted, and it was difficult to escape. It had a bad premonition.
“This is the Five Elements Ring, the Immortal Mountain’s most famous precious artifact!” Princess Qianqian said, her pretty face looking shocked.
“What? This is the Five Elements Ring, an ancient precious artifact known to be unmatched throughout the world?!” Many people were shocked.
The Five Elements Ring’s reputation was too great. It was very famous in the ancient era and made its name in battles. It was unknown just how many world-shaking great figures were killed by it.
It was rumored that the Five Elements Divine Ring was refined from the primordial symbol bones of five of the most famous heavenly-ranked vicious beasts. It evolved into the five elements and formed a world of its own. It was known as one of the most powerful precious artifacts.
There were many legends regarding this precious artifact. Back then, when it was refined, it was rumored that the sun and moon lost their light, and the entire Mysterious Region lost its color. It consumed endless heavenly treasures, and the precious bones of five heavenly-ranked vicious beasts were only the main ingredients. Endless divine blood, precious bones, and other things were used to burn and refine it.
In the past, when this artifact appeared, the deities retreated, and the ring had killed countless ancient great figures.
“The Five Elements Ring is the Immortal Mountain’s sect-protecting treasure. How could it be casually taken out? This is an imitation,” an elder said quietly.
Someone nodded and said, “Yes, it’s only a replica. Even though there are five types of multicolored light, one of them is extremely dim. Only four types of true bones can truly display its power.”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. This was just an imitation, and it was even damaged, yet it already possessed such power. If the true Five Elements Ring appeared, just how powerful would it be?!
Not only were the Nine-Headed Lion and big red bird unable to move, but even Shi Hao shivered inwardly. The Five Elements Ring evolved into a realm, continuously fluctuating, making it difficult for him to struggle free.
“My brothers, you two can take action now. Destroy his cultivation, so that we can avenge one friend who was killed by him,” Qin Shoucheng calmly said.
He believed that once the Five Elements Ring appeared, Shi Hao wouldn’t be able to stop it. After all, this was a precious artifact forged after imitating Immortal Mountain’s sect-protecting treasure. Even though it was damaged, it still wasn’t something a king-level figure could contend against.
“I want to watch his destruction!” Outside the arena, Qin Chao clenched his fists.
“What a great ability. We admire you!” The Black Cloud Race elder nodded, walking forward with large steps, killing intent appearing on his face.
The Flaming Bull Race’s king also moved. Even though they were in the arena, they weren’t restricted. It was clear that after Qin Shoucheng took out the Five Elements Ring, he could control this area.
“If you don’t grow up, you’ll still be an ant in the end. Many people can defeat you!” The two king-level figures sneered.
With a rumble, the Black Cloud Race’s elder turned into a streak of dark light and threw himself at Shi Hao. He had his own selfish motives. He wanted to dissolve Shi Hao’s essence blood and use him as a living sacrifice.
The outstanding youth’s body was full of treasures, and his physical strength was comparable to the Western Sect’s Vajra Body. He would make great flesh medicine.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Shi Hao opened his mouth, releasing a streak of sword energy. The radiance was dazzling and resplendent beyond compare. This was the sword intent he obtained from the Void God Realm’s beast skin. Even though he couldn’t move his body, the sword intent was boundless and remained affected.
With a muffled groan, the Black Cloud Race’s elders backed up. He knew that he was careless. His chest was pierced through, and the wound was difficult to heal. Blood gushed out.
This sword intent was too terrifying. It continuously disintegrated his flesh, shocking him until his fine hairs stood on end. He endured the pain and quickly backed up.
This was an unforeseen event. No one expected Shi Hao to be able to attack even after being restricted, let alone injure a powerful Formation Arrangement Realm cultivator.
Moo…
The Flaming Bull Race’s king rushed over murderously, attacking from Shi Hao’s back. It didn’t get too close. Fiery light overflowed into the heavens. A pair of enormous horns released precious splendor and the sword energy was like rainbows.
The bull also released sword energy and was taking action from a distance, wishing to immediately kill Shi Hao.
Whoosh.
Shi Hao’s back shone, and sword energy rushed out from a few meridians and apertures. His entire body could attack, and there were several streaks of sword energy that struck toward the Five Elements Ring in the sky.
Everyone was astounded. As expected of Shi Hao, he could still retaliate in such a desperate situation. Just how formidable was he?
“I want to see how you are going to overturn the heavens!” Qin Shoucheng’s eyes were full of coldness. He activated the Five Elements Ring and pressed downward. Among them, four types of brilliance were especially resplendent, turning into hazy gas that flowed downwards.
The sky above this area was hazy as if a great lake had frozen over. The world was sealed, and it was difficult for external forces to break through.
Qin Shoucheng raised his hand. A lightning symbol appeared in his palm, striking Shi Hao, trying to cripple his cultivation and turn him into a mortal body.
“Uncle Wang, can we break this Five Elements Ring? Otherwise, Shi Hao will be in danger!” Huo Ling’er said softly, looking anxious.
That old prince shook his head and said, “It’s difficult to break. Injecting any power, or activating any magical artifact is the same as supporting that Five Elements Ring. Why is it known as an unmatched magical artifact? It’s because it can devour the power of the five elements, and everything in this world can be broken down into the five elements.”
“Young man, even if you truly grew up, the Immortal Mountain still isn’t something you can shake.” Qin Shoucheng’s voice was cold. The lightning symbol in his palm hacked over, and endless lightning surrounded Shi Hao.
Shi Hao’s entire body shone. Mysterious symbols appeared on his body in large amounts. “I’ll shake it for you to see!”
