Perfect World - Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The Immortal Being
Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The Immortal Being
The creature was emaciated and shriveled, not formidable at all, and looked as though it was nearly petrified. His body was covered with soil and rocks, but he had long, withered, and yellow hair like wild grass, concealing his entire form.
Over the years, he had been continually suppressed, never seeing the light of day. His disheveled hair lacked luster, and his body was skeletal, unlike the appearance one would expect from an all-conquering strong being.
If it weren’t for the legends, it would be hard to imagine that a creature was being suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountains. It was he.
The Five Elements Divine Chain, known to be indestructible through the ages, was an artifact of utmost resilience, nearly impossible to damage. It was inscribed with supreme mysteries and natural laws by the Heavenly Venerate, firmly trapping the creature, making it nearly impossible for him to break free.
Even so, the members of the Qin Clan felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts filled with endless terror, shaking uncontrollably.
Especially those above the level of Venerable One, who were aware of the secrets and deeply knew how fearsome this being was, not knowing how many had perished in the effort to suppress him during those endless years.
Moreover, killing him was very difficult. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be suppressed here, constantly grinding his Daoist bones and refining his true soul, with the aim to gradually annihilate him over time.
However, today the Five Elements Mountains had been overturned, allowing this creature to see daylight once again, which was undoubtedly a disaster.
“Do you realize what you have done?” roared the Five Elements Mountains, flying in from a distance, with its five peaks standing side by side, immense and boundless. Chaotic mist cascaded down like a vast divine waterfall.
This was its true form, incredibly majestic, born from primal chaos, existing before the creation of the world, and imbued with innate traces of the Great Dao, hence its immense strength.
People of the world knew that Immortal Mountain had the Five Elements Divine Ring, which shook the eight regions, reputed as one of the strongest Magic Artifacts from ancient times.
Only sect master-level figures understood that the truly fearsome thing about Immortal Mountain was the mountain itself, the land of immortality transformed by the Five Elements Mountains, possessing the Five Elements Dao roots.
The Five Elements Ring was merely an imitation by the ancients, who meticulously carved Dao symbols on it after painstaking efforts, forging it into a weapon that ranked highly among the artifacts created later and was invincible.
But when compared with the Five Elements Mountains, it could only be considered a replica, a creation nurtured based on the Dao traces of the mountain.
The Five Elements Mountains descended, ready to suppress the creature once again and resume its place.
Above the clouds, the Little Pagoda shone, raining down streaks of Sword Qi. Although it was in the form of a pagoda, it unleashed chaotic aura, its attacking power unparalleled in the world!
“Shh!”
Streaks of sword energy flew in, unparalleled in the mortal realm, stretching for who knows how many miles, resplendent and shocking, causing the hearts of Cultivators in the entire region to palpitate, feeling like suffocation.
As the Five Elements Mountains descended, they also emitted light. Five types of Dao Qi circulated, forming the most primal traces of the Dao, birthing symbols that sparkled like an interwoven Star River.
With this strike, the whole area trembled. The entire land was permeated with a terrifying aura, causing all myriad spirits to fear and all beings to shudder with great alarm inside.
However, both these artifacts had seized the Heaven and Earth Fortune. In their confrontation, they controlled all forces, wasting not a bit, and even though there were fluctuations of aura, no divine power could run wild.
The Qin Clan members were at close quarters but not a single one exploded due to this; they merely collapsed on the ground under this pressure, unable to move.
This fear stemmed from deep within their divine souls, as ancient predecessors would have before a totem, bowing and worshipping continuously.
Shi Hao was minimally affected because he was enveloped by the soft light of primal chaos radiating from the Little Pagoda and was placed high in the sky, no longer at the center of the battlefield.
“Boom!”
The Little Pagoda flourished, with the white jade-like pagoda body marked with various symbols, including Suan Ni, Pi Xiu Emperor, Taotie, and more. It was branded with the true spirits of all beings, filled with incomparable mana.
This aura resurgence made heaven and earth tremble as if countless Heavenly Rank Archaic Divine Birds and feral beasts of Primal Ancients were resurrected, manifested in this world, revived once more.
Not just that, the All Heavens Stars also twinkled on the pagoda body, accompanied by a hazy chaotic mist.
The Little Pagoda was fully exerting its strength, revealing the utmost Great Dao Laws without reservation. If it really unleashed its full power, it could inadvertently sink the entire region.
The Five Elements Mountains shuddered violently, feeling the immense murderous intent and the sensation of the sky collapsing, all pressing down on it, forcing it to oppose with all its might.
With a hum, the interaction of the Five Elements outside its body, following the cycle of generation, merged into the Dao. Five types of symbols represented the origin of all things, stabilizing heaven and earth.
In that moment, five divine halos soared, seeking to imprison the void and freeze the Little Pagoda in its place.
“Underestimating me, thinking you can trap me?” the Little Pagoda scoffed with a faint shake, and a Taotie leaped out, devouring everything. Moreover, one symbol after another materialized, obliterating the void.
On its body, various Heavenly Rank Divine Birds and fierce beasts emerged, causing a riot, all swooping down, trampling the Five Elements, destroying that immense Dao.
Of course, the most terrifying were the various mystical symbols evolved by the Little Pagoda itself, cleaving heaven and earth, disturbing the Five Elements, breaking the sealing power.
With a clang, the Little Pagoda dove down, colliding once more with the Five Elements Mountains. The interweaving of symbols between them clashed violently, constantly appearing and disappearing.
It was the true pinnacle of mysteries confronting each other. Order Divine Chains cascaded like waterfalls, colliding with each other, blossoming, then shattering.
Such might was unimaginable; if unleashed, it could bring down the stars from beyond the heavens. Both sides had the most formidable power of the Dao Laws.
In the silent clash, the Little Pagoda flew backward, gently swaying as if drunk, while the chaotic mist nearly went out of control, rampaging downwards, clearly having suffered a heavy blow.
The Five Elements Mountains were the same, knocked into the high heavens, flown to the sky’s edge, wobbling as it struggled to stabilize its true form.
“Why hasn’t it broken free yet, could it be it was suppressed to death?” the Little Pagoda questioned.
Not only it, but Shi Hao and the people of the Qin Clan were also baffled. The creature that was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountains had remained motionless from the beginning to the end, lying there sideways without a sound.
Even the Five Elements Mountains were shocked and doubtful. For so many years, no matter what happened to the Qin Clan, it wouldn’t interfere, slumbering here only to suppress this creature.
Because, fearing its escape would have far-reaching effects, the Five Elements Mountains never uprooted themselves.
Today was one of the few times it had awakened since ancient times. If it weren’t for the Qin Clan’s foundation being on the brink of annihilation, it would definitely remain indifferent.
Suppressing this creature was its most important task.
“What a waste of effort, could he be dead?” mumbled Little Pagoda to itself, deeming it unworthy. The battle had commenced and it had gained nothing, but made a formidable enemy, naturally at a great loss.
“Shriek!” Without hesitation, it slashed out with chaotic sword energy, aiming at the creature on the ground.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, the Sword Qi clanged loudly, as if cutting gold and stone, the sound piercing to the ear, petrifying expressions, and making it hard to believe.
Only a tuft of the creature’s straw-like hair was severed, and its dried-up body remained unscathed, unsplit by the attack. This was beyond logic and shocked people tremendously.
How incredibly hard it must be, simply unimaginable.
A mysterious aura emerged as the body on the ground moved slightly, sending everyone’s heart into their throats; it wasn’t dead!
In the distance, the Five Elements Mountains hastened across space, obliterating all in the path and suppressing downwards, determined to restrain the creature once more.
“As I expected not dead, I knew it. It’s hard to kill. But if you don’t move again, I will have to cut you with my strongest chaotic aura,” whispered Little Pagoda.
Moreover, it erupted once more, rushing towards the Five Elements Mountains to prevent them from landing.
“You’re mad! If it escapes, there will be an immense disaster!” The voice of the Five Elements Mountains was deep and solemn, containing urgency alongside its authority.
It was born from the primal chaos, naturally imprinted by the heavens and earth, incredibly powerful, yet now it took such an attitude, well illustrating the creature’s terror.
“What’s that to do with me? Let it enter the higher realms, let certain people worry about the headache, heh!” At this moment, Little Pagoda was shameless and carefree, assuming this posture.
“Back then, it wasn’t just one person who suppressed it. Aren’t you afraid of making too many enemies by doing this?” said the Five Elements Mountains.
At the same time, the two collided fiercely. At this level, a single symbol or an Order Divine Chain could overturn the world; clashing at this moment was incredibly dangerous.
Yet, they contained it, affecting no other creatures, merely contending with each other.
“I’m not afraid. Those few people who acted against me at that time will inevitably face me in battle!” Little Pagoda said, with a series of cold laughs. It was ready to release a huge problem into the higher realms.
At first, it was only skeptical, not knowing if this place truly sealed the legendary “trouble,” once believing it to be a trap.
“Shriek!” Another slash of chaotic sword energy fell, striking the creature below, sparking embers and resonating metallic clangs, unbelievably startling.
“Boom!” At that moment, a terrifying aura emerged from heaven and earth. He finally revived, awakening from dormant slumber.
Clearly, he had employed a secret technique, locking in his essence Qi so it wouldn’t leak out, fighting against the erosion of time and resisting its wash.
Despite the consumption, it was kept to a minimum, allowing him to stay alive, forever undying!
Eons had passed, leaving him skeleton-thin, small and withered, appearing utterly decrepit. But now, upon awakening, everything changed.
Beneath that tangle of wild hair, a pair of golden pupils lit up, causing many of the Qin Clan to scream as if facing a hundred suns, all closing their eyes, blood dribbling from the corners, too fearful to look directly.
“Crack.” The sound of Divine Chains resonated as the creature sat up, scanning the high heavens and then the earth, not uttering a single word. Then, its gaze swept over both Little Pagoda and the Five Elements Mountains.
“Suppression!” The Five Elements Mountains radiated light, five-colored Dao light capable of eradicating a great world, now all descending to re-suppress the creature.
“Ding!” Little Pagoda charged, repelling it.
Below, the creature finally stood up. Silently opening its mouth, inhaling with force, at this moment heaven and earth’s boundless essence Qi surged wildly, frantically gathering there.

His eyes shone like golden lightning, supremely brilliant, piercing directly through the sky. His small, dried-up body was like an abyss, swallowing the origin of the ten directions of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the world stood still, time seemed to freeze, with only him standing there, becoming a perpetual image.
The entire eight regions dimmed at this instant, the essence Qi of heaven and earth, and the radiance of sun and stars all converging at this place, time and space distorting, as the ocean-like primal forces were swallowed into his mouth!
