The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 231 Innate Metal and Wood Qi
The first level of the "Destroying All Businesses and Devouring the Heavens Technique" has been completed?
Wait, are Chi You's techniques really that easy to master?
What kind of monster is this?

Emperor Kaiming had been locked up there for countless years. When Zhou Yan pulled him down so hard, his face twitched in pain. But seeing Zhou Yan's exhausted appearance, he didn't cry out or ask any more questions about Zhou Yan's secrets.

He just twitched his lips: "You actually took the initiative to use yourself to bear that thing."

"Are you crazy?!"

That was almost like putting your hand in fire.

Then he set his own hand on fire, as if to use it for an attack.

It is both absurd and ferocious.

Even Emperor Kaiming couldn't help but praise him. Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and urged, "After we've cleaned up the mess, let's leave quickly. If we don't leave now, we'll run into them again. I'm not in my true form now, nor am I in Zhongnan Mountain. If we encounter those two, we won't be able to defeat them."

"As for that one just now, it was just a case of the brave prevailing when paths cross."

Emperor Kaiming said, "This is not courage, it's brute force."

Zhou Yan stared at him: "Then how about I hang you up again?"

Kaiming's expression instantly turned serious, and he solemnly said, "No! This is precisely the great courage of a true hero! His spirit is magnificent."

"Even the heroes of old were no more than this!"

"How great is Zhou Yan! How magnificent is Zhou Yan!"

The face changes at lightning speed, without any hesitation.

Zhou Yan had no interest in arguing with him. He simply walked quickly to the bronze tree, which Zhou Yan had cleaved open with a single stroke. Golden sap flowed down from it. Zhou Yan conjured a gourd and quickly collected the sap, which was brimming with vitality.

Then he picked up the tree branch chain that had just been chopped to the ground. When the branch was growing there, it was full of vitality, but after being cut down, it became radiant and transformed into a warm and lustrous gold and jade texture.

Kaiming said, "This is a pure talent of metal and wood."

"It's said to be of the innate wood element, but the bronze divine tree combines the elements of both metal and wood, and can circulate spontaneously. This is a truly precious treasure, the most top-tier item in the ancient Shu pantheon. Keep it safe and let's hurry, or—careless!"

Kaiming was still saying something when his expression suddenly changed. Zhou Yan felt a scorching aura rushing towards him from behind. Without thinking, he dove forward and rolled to avoid it—a blazing torrent of fire slammed into the spot where he had just stood. The bronze bricks on the ground melted instantly, and golden light flowed from the broken edges, radiating terrifying heat.

Kaiming's face turned pale instantly: "Great Sun True Fire, damn it, why are these crow cubs still guarding the bed? This is one of the three great true fires of ancient times, possessing vitality and the destructive power to destroy everything."

"It was you who chopped down this bronze sacred tree, which angered these guys."

"How old are you? Why are you still guarding the nest?"

While dodging the attacks of the nine three-legged golden crows, Zhou Yan asked urgently:

"These guys are alive?!"

Kaiming covered his head and ran away, looking utterly pathetic, but each time he managed to avoid the blazing fire that was about to roast him alive at the most crucial moment, shouting, "Use my blood, with the help of the longevity concept of the Bronze Divine Tree, these guys are just not completely dead, not alive."

He spun around on the spot, his rear end landing awkwardly like a wild goose landing on a sandy beach, but he managed to dodge the three golden crows attacking him. He also kicked the unresponsive Ge Lang away, saying, "If we were alive, with our weight, we'd be dried meat by now!"

"Back in the time of Emperor Yao, the human war god Yi was able to destroy these few bastard crows only when he obtained top-tier divine weapons and the fortune of heaven and earth."

Kaiming Fast Tunnel:
"When Yao had not yet become the great emperor, ten suns appeared at the same time, scorching the crops and killing the vegetation, leaving the people with nothing to eat."

"Besides these ten golden crows, there are also Yayu, Zaochi, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushe."

"Then what?!"

"And then? Yao ordered Yi to kill Zaochi in the wilderness of Chouhua, kill Jiuying above the Xiongshui River, capture Dafeng in the marshland of Qingqiu, shoot down ten suns and kill Yayu, cut the Xiushui snake in Dongting Lake, and capture Fengxi in the mulberry forest."

"You could say that Yao was invincible, but Yi was incredibly skilled at fighting!"

Zhou Yan suddenly realized a problem:
"Are the others all dead?!"

enlightened:"…………"

After a moment of silence, Kaiming turned his head, his voice weak and hesitant, and said somewhat guiltily, "Theoretically, they should all be dead, but these golden crows are alive, I don't know..."

Zhou Yan's forehead twitched. He felt that he was coming into contact with some truths that would make his scalp tingle, but now was not the time to think about this. In a few minutes, An Lushan would come in.

The weapons in Zhou Yan's hands were instantly turned into molten iron by the Great Sun True Fire.

Lord Zhou's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he steeled his resolve. "A bunch of dead, stinking crows, what are you pretending for!"

Another three-legged golden crow pounced on him. Zhou Yan rolled backward and made a hand gesture—

【Primordial Qi - Five Elements Grand Seizing】!
The newly acquired innate metal and wood energy was directly absorbed and transformed into a huge handprint of mixed gold and cyan, which directly grabbed the golden crow. The golden crow was still struggling, and Zhou Yan's heart stirred.

"Monk Kongkong, release a bit of Chi You's murderous aura for me!"

Even though the monk Kongkong's divine will had dissipated, Zhou Yan still subconsciously called out to him. However, when the dragon's roar sounded, there was a hint of worry in it. Zhou Yan roughly understood the meaning of the dragon's roar. If he released Chi You's evil energy so frequently, the ancient dragon Buddhist aura of the monk Kongkong would not be able to stop it much.

Zhou Yan will also be pulled back by Chi You's divine will to be beaten endlessly.

"Hey, we can't worry about that now."

"Let my future self worry about the future!"

If it were the monk Kongkong, he would definitely try to dissuade him, but now this is just the divine will formed from the blood of the monk Kongkong. After a pause, a surge of killing intent once again rushed into Zhou Yan's body.

Accompanied by a throbbing pain in his forehead, and the interplay of yin and yang, Zhou Yan successfully controlled this malevolent energy.

The young Taoist priest stretched out his hand, a blood-red light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly clenched it.

The giant handprint that was originally torn apart by the Golden Crow's Great Sun Fire suddenly turned into a blood-red baleful aura. The baleful aura of the human race, which was even more powerful than that of the invincible war god Yi, directly smashed into the trapped Golden Crow, triggering the memory of being killed by the human war god that day.

As the murderous aura enveloped its body, the golden crow suddenly froze, and the flames around it instantly subsided, as if it had been awakened by some blood-red memory etched into its very being—the fear of being shot down by the human war god.

The other eight golden crows seemed startled and suddenly scattered, spinning in the air, not daring to land. In the end, they were still far from recovering to their full strength, and one by one they landed on the bronze divine tree, staring intently at Zhou Yan, not daring to go forward.

Zhou Yan gasped for breath as the Innate Qi Great Capture slowly dissipated. The three-legged golden crow, whose face had been covered in the wrathful aura of the War Lord and which had been instantly frozen to death, lay there again. Its body was made of metal and iron, yet it still carried a faint hint of fire.

Kaiming said, "Alright, let's go."

His voice suddenly froze. He saw the young Taoist reach out and grab the three-legged golden crow, a divine bird of the great sun, and stuff it into his arms. The three-legged golden crow struggled, so Zhou Yan took a rag and stuffed it into the mouth of the restrained three-legged golden crow.

Then they stuffed the branch of the bronze tree into the claw of the three-legged golden crow.

The three-legged golden crow, its five senses sealed by the evil energy, and sensing the aura of the bronze divine wood, quieted down. Zhou Yan held the thing like a poached chicken, stuffing it tightly into his arms.

???

Kaiming stared blankly at this smooth and skillful act of petty theft.

No, you're planning to steal this thing?
That's boldness, that's style.

This kid, this kid is really, really—

awesome!
Just my taste!

Enlightened eyes shine.

The Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun Mountain has a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth and is good at roaring; the great god Lu Wu has nine heads and is a fierce tiger; the great god Kai Ming has nine heads and a human face, and his body is like a tiger. In fact, all three great gods have a penchant for collecting all kinds of good things.

The young Taoist wiped away his cold sweat and looked at the bronze altar. If An Lushan came in and saw that the bronze formation had been destroyed, he would be furious. At that time, they would not be able to escape.

It was Shen Cangming's instruction that before leaving, some things should be arranged.

Zhou Yan cast a spell, using a transformation technique to restore the bronze altar to its original form. Of course, it was only a shell; the spiritual connection within had been completely destroyed.

It's like your computer broke down, but I fixed the computer case for you.

It's as basic as changing a phone case when your phone breaks.

Emperor Kaiming was somewhat worried: "Only the chief of the army can send someone into this place to fool An Lushan, but now that drop of blood has been absorbed by you, what should we do?"

Zhou Yan stared at the bronze formation, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Kaiming seemed to be deep in thought.

The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"Eh!"

"I have an idea."
