The God of Heavens

Chapter 196 The Journey Through the Desolate Ancient Times, The Extreme Transformation of the Five Elements

Shaking Light Holy Land.

The giant disc floated in the air, suspended in the clouds, its cyan-gold outer shell shimmering with light, radiating a cool and austere luster.

Lin Yu led Ye Fan, Black Emperor, and the four little ones out of the cabin and were met by Li Daoqing and his group.

The Holy Lord of Yao Guang, dressed in a black robe, could not hide the astonishment in his eyes. The elders behind him frequently looked up, their gazes lingering on the sky-covering flying saucer.

After all, such a large flying saucer floating in the holy land would make anyone curious, but they couldn't go inside, so they waited outside.

“Holy Son, this is…” Li Daoqing pointed to the flying saucer, his voice tinged with hesitation.

Lin Yu smiled slightly and with a flick of his sleeve, he put away the flying saucer: "Holy Lord, this is a Saint-level spaceship that I obtained from a cultivator in the Eternal Starfield."

He then gave a brief introduction to the Eternal Starfield, where the cultivation methods of extraterrestrial civilizations broadened their horizons.

When they heard that the spaceship was also a sacred artifact, they were already numb. They wouldn't be shocked by anything Lin Yu did anyway.

After seeing Li Daoqing off, Lin Yu went straight to the weapon-refining cave on the back mountain of the Sky Island. Purple mist filled the cave, and earth fire rose. He sat cross-legged in front of the Bagua weapon-refining platform, his fingertips flashing with magic.

In an instant, golden patterns flowed, like dragons coiling and wrapping around the damaged Heavenly Armor.

Seven days passed, and the cave was sometimes filled with the clanging of metal and sometimes bursts of dazzling golden light. On the morning of the eighth day, when the last divine rune was re-engraved, the entire sacred armor suddenly radiated a dazzling golden divine light.

The Heavenly Armor was brand new, shining like the sun, and the sixteen-foot-tall divine robe stood tall and firm, radiating golden divine light that danced like flames.

The divine spear trembled slightly, radiating golden light, while the ancient shield shone with divine patterns and faint chanting. It resembled the pure and immaculate golden body of Buddha in a majestic Buddhist temple, its solemn appearance and powerful aura causing people to tremble.

"It's done." Lin Yu murmured, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. With a thought, the Holy Armor suddenly shrank, transforming into a golden light that entered his brow.

When they emerged from the cave, Ye Fan and the others were already waiting outside. Upon seeing Lin Yu, Black Emperor was the first to rush forward: "Woof! Let me see that treasure!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu activated his Sacred Armor. In an instant, golden light shot into the sky, and a sixteen-foot-tall golden body rose from the ground, surrounded by golden divine flames, illuminating the entire mountain peak in a magnificent golden light.

With his right hand holding a spear pointing diagonally to the sky and his left hand holding a shield to guard the four directions, he resembled a war god who had walked out of ancient times.

The four little ones were so startled that they retreated one after another. Jinling hid behind Ye Fan, only peeking out with half of her head. Ye Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes as the pressure emanating from the Holy Armor made the Holy Blood in his body boil.

"What a magnificent Heaven-Reaching Saint Armor!" Ye Fan exclaimed. "This aura is probably comparable to that of a true saint."

Lin Yu's voice came from the Holy Armor, echoing like metal: "More or less, but to unleash its full combat power, it would be best if a half-saint controlled it."

Having said that, he put away the holy armor, which transformed into a palm-sized sculpture that fell into his hand. The golden light faded, and the mountains returned to peace.

"Next, Ye Fan, you should go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to collect the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine." Lin Yu turned to look at Ye Fan, his tone as calm as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Ye Fan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he subconsciously touched his nose: "Are you really going?" A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. His last trip to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was... "that place..."

"What are you afraid of? To you, the Desolate Forbidden Land is just like going home," Lin Yu thought to himself.

Ye Fan is a true "forbidden zone". Not to mention the sleeping Ruthless Emperor, even the Great Accomplished Holy Body looks up to him.

Lin Yu said no more and handed the golden sculpture in his hand to Ye Fan: "I'll lend you the Heavenly Armor. With this armor protecting you, you can walk on flat ground in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

He then took out an ancient pottery jar from his sea of ​​consciousness. It was as black as ink and vaguely surrounded by chaotic energy: "The Devouring Heaven Demon Jar suppresses your origin and can protect your life essence from being deprived."

Finally, a crystal-clear little Qilin appeared in Lin Yu's palm.

Although the qilin was less than the size of a fist, it was incredibly lifelike, with a dragon's head, deer antlers, and piercing lion eyes. The celestial patterns on its back were clearly visible. With each breath, it stirred up a surge of spiritual energy in the surrounding area, making everyone present feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, their pores relaxing.

"This is..." Ye Fan's eyes widened as he sensed the surging vitality within it.

"The Qilin Divine Medicine Seed has been nurtured in the Divine Spring for years. Although it has not yet sprouted, it has accumulated a massive amount of life essence." Lin Yu handed the little Qilin to Ye Fan. "At critical moments, it can replenish your life essence."

Ye Fan accepted the three supreme treasures, feeling their weight in his palms. The Heaven-Reaching Sacred Armor protected his physical body, the Devouring Demon Jar suppressed his origin, and the Qilin Seed replenished his life force—this configuration was practically tailor-made for venturing into the forbidden area. He took a deep breath, all hesitation vanishing from his eyes: "Alright, I'll set off now."

After saying that, he nodded to Lin Yu, turned around, and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the distance. Jinling, one of the four little ones, jumped up and down, shouting, "Uncle Ye, be careful!" Her voice echoed through the mountains, while the golden light stumbled and then vanished into the horizon as if fleeing.

"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

……

"When are we going to the Undying Mountain to find the Xuanwu Divine Medicine?" After Ye Fan walked away, the Black Emperor couldn't wait to get close to Lin Yu and ask.

Its large, bell-like eyes gleamed with excitement, and its tail wagged as fast as a windmill.

"I have recently acquired enough of the five elements' essence; I need to refine it first."

In recent days, as Lin Yu has been continuously offering bounties, the entire Beidou region has come to know that the Yao Guang Holy Land is collecting the essence of the five elements. Out of respect for Yuan, a massive amount of essence is gathering here every moment.

The entire hellish plane was filled with this essence, and colorful clouds filled the air, brightening the originally dim sky.

Lin Yu sat cross-legged in the center of the cave. With a thought, the Hell Furnace suddenly appeared, its mouth facing upwards, like a giant beast that devours the sky and the earth.

"Refining!"

With a soft shout from Lin Yu, endless Five Elements essence poured in like a celestial river, roaring into the Hell Furnace.

The Celestial Fire split into five, transforming into five-colored divine flames that refined the essence within the furnace to an ever-purer level. Gradually, five illusory divine beasts took shape within the furnace: the Azure Dragon coiled in the east, the White Tiger dominating the west, the Vermilion Bird soaring in the south, the Black Tortoise guarding the north, and the Teng Snake coiling around the center.

Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and his right hand shot out, aiming straight for the illusory image of the Azure Dragon in the furnace. Before the Azure Dragon could struggle, it was crushed by him and turned into a sky full of azure light.

A black hole appeared in Lin Yu's palm, swallowing up all the pure wood-attribute essence.

In an instant, Lin Yu unleashed his divine power, and a primeval forest transformed in the void, with towering ancient trees rising from the ground, vines entwined, and full of vitality.

That wasn't all. He continued his attacks, successively crushing and refining the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Teng Snake. With each divine beast phantom refined, a small world appeared: a fiery domain blazing in the sky, a vast and boundless swampy land, a dazzling golden realm, and a majestic and desolate sandy plain.

At the same time, Lin Yu took out a large amount of divine spring water, and the jade liquid poured out like a waterfall, blending with the essence of the five elements.

The celestial fire rises, repeatedly refining the boundless spiritual power and permeating it into every part of the body. At times, the body is as transparent as glass, and at other times as solid as refined gold, undergoing a complete transformation in the power of the five elements.

Finally, the transformation of the five elements reaches its extreme: fire can become water, water can become wood, wood can become earth, and earth can give rise to fire.

The five elements interact in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint, endlessly regenerating and sustaining each other.

Amidst these wondrous changes, a deafening elephant roar resounded within Lin Yu's body. Deep within his origin, countless colossal elephant particles awakened one after another, each possessing the power to suppress the eight wastelands.

The newly awakened 100,000 particles resonated with the original million particles, causing the power of the ancient giant elephant within his body to reach a staggering 1.1 million heads.

"Boom——"

A deafening roar erupted, its force soaring to the heavens. The four little ones had to unleash their protective divine light to barely maintain their footing.

All around Lin Yu were strange phenomena: the Azure Dragon coiled in the east, the White Tiger roared in the west, the Vermilion Bird spread its wings in the south, the Black Tortoise suppressed the waves in the north, and the Teng Snake swallowed chaos in the center.

Five divine beast phantoms surrounded him, making him appear like a god-king who ruled over heaven and earth.

When the last trace of the Five Elements essence was completely refined, Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to contain a galaxy, and two divine lights, one gold and one silver, shot out, burning two marks into the void.

He gently stretched his muscles and bones, and a thunderous roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami emanated from his body. Every move he made carried a power that could shake the heavens and the earth.

"Congratulations, Master, on mastering your divine skill!" The four little ones cheered and surrounded him. Jinling even curiously reached out to touch the Five Elements Divine Light flowing on Lin Yu's robe, but was gently repelled by a soft force.

Black King wagged its tail and approached, sniffing hard with its dog nose: "Woof! Your scent... is becoming less and less like a human's?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly but did not answer. He looked towards the direction of Undying Mountain, his gaze profound: "It's time to go to Undying Mountain."
