Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 246 The Five Elements Earth and the Supreme Perfection Fruit
Following Yuwen Jing, Di Yi soon arrived at the outside of an abandoned manor.

The manor was large, resembling a dilapidated small town, with broken walls and collapsed buildings, most likely destroyed in the great war years ago.

Surprisingly, the soil beneath the manor was five-colored, representing the legendary Five Elements Earth.

Earth, one of the Five Elements, is the first type of soil formed at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. All things are nurtured by it, and it can be called the "mother of all things".

It contains a rich amount of the power of the Five Elements. In the entire Heavenly Court, only the Five Elements Temple, a sacred site of the Taoist sect, is said to contain a small amount of Five Elements Earth.

"It seems this is the Dao Garden. The ancient god space inscription has indeed teleported me to a good place."

"I wonder if we can take some."

Emperor Yi had the idea of ​​taking it, but he didn't have high hopes. If it could be taken so easily, the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm faction would have already made their move.

Emperor Yi first condensed a holy energy hand seal and tried to excavate the Five Elements Earth.

"Boom!"

From the blood-red soil on the ground, a handprint tens of meters in size condensed and slapped towards Di Yi, almost hitting him with a palm strike.

Emperor Yi used the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique to dodge, still feeling lingering fear.

From the blood-red soil, a giant formed from the blood-red earth crawled out, holding a warhammer and blocking Di Yi's way. The giant's aura was not strong, but it was comparable to that of a five-step Saint King.

However, within its body lies the spiritual will left behind by an ancient being, which makes Di Yi dare not underestimate it.

"I cultivate the Way of the Five Elements, but I only wish to take a small amount of the Five Elements Earth to comprehend the Dao. I am not greedy at all. Please grant my request, senior."

The giant remained unmoved upon hearing this.

"Then we have no choice but to take action."

Di Yi radiated golden light as he unleashed the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Dragon Subduing Elephant Skill from the Six Divine Skills of Buddhism, striking out with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

He became more and more proficient with this palm technique, and by comparison, he used the Hell King Claw much less frequently these days.

"Roar!"

The Blood Earth Giant roared and swung its massive hammer at Emperor Yi, creating a crimson gust of wind.

The palm print collided with the giant hammer, and the difference in strength was immediately apparent. The Blood Earth Giant was no match for Emperor Yi at all, and the giant hammer in his hand, along with half of his body, was smashed to pieces.

But at that moment, a rumbling sound came from the ground beneath their feet, and hundreds of vortexes appeared on the blood-red soil. From each vortex emerged a blood-red giant, whose aura was even more powerful than the first giant.

"No wonder the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm faction didn't attack the Five Elements Earth. These giants are probably endless. If the fighting continues, even giants at the Great Sage level might appear."

"We have no choice but to retreat."

The emperor, feeling the urge to withdraw, turned to leave.

Within the Xuan Tai, the Gui Xu Twin Lotus suddenly emitted an invisible fluctuation.

The fluctuation was extremely subtle, yet it traveled very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of Blood Earth Giants seemed to have received some kind of command and returned to the ground.

The five-colored soil beneath the manor gradually dimmed and converged at a single point. After a moment, the five-colored light beneath their feet dissipated, replaced by a small clump of five-colored divine soil, no bigger than a palm. This was the true form of the Five Elements Soil, not as numerous as the ones visible to the naked eye, but only this tiny clump.

Emperor Yi carefully stepped forward and picked up the Five Elements Earth.

Immediately afterwards, the twin lotus flowers of Guixu within the Xuan Tai conveyed a sense of longing.

"You need the element Earth?"

"Could the Twin Lotus of Guixu be connected to the Dao Garden?"

Di Yi seemed to be deep in thought, and without much hesitation, he sent the Five Elements Earth into the Mysterious Embryo.

Upon entering the Xuan Tai, the Gui Xu Twin Lotus, still in its seedling stage, immediately stepped forward and planted its roots into the Five Elements Earth.

Di Yi didn't linger and walked into the abandoned manor in the direction where Yuwen Jing had disappeared.

There was a faint, unique fragrance in the air that was refreshing and delightful.

Soon, a relatively complete Taoist temple appeared ahead. Outside the temple, the roars of mythical beasts such as dragons, wind, and qilin could be heard.

"There shouldn't be any divine beasts within Mount Pantheon, so this voice can only be the fruit of supreme perfection."

The Wind Dome was discovered by the Crown Prince of the Imperial Ancestor, who stumbled upon it while searching for the supreme and perfect fruit.

Di Yi used the Thirty-Six Transformations of Formlessness and Invisibility to transform into the appearance of a young monk and entered the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is filled with a rich, sacred aura of wood, and also carries a faint, exotic fragrance.

A sacred tree, over a hundred meters tall, grows in the center of the Taoist temple, resembling a hand emerging from the ground with branches that look like five fingers.

On each branch grows a five-colored fruit, and the phantom images of dragons, phoenixes, qilin, white tigers, and tortoises and snakes appear around the fruit.

The five supreme and perfect fruits were hanging on the tree, bound by crimson chains, and unable to break free for the time being.

Beneath the sacred tree stood several figures, including Yuwen Jing, a divine disciple of the Temple of Truth who had entered earlier.

Besides him, there were three other heretical cultivators: one was a three-step Saint King, and the other two were six-step Saint Kings.

Yuwen Jing is a cultivator belonging to the Heavenly Realm faction, but he did not originate from the Heavenly Realm itself; rather, he came from the Yin-Yang Realm faction within the Heavenly Realm.

After a moment's thought, Di Yi guessed the identities of the three people. The two six-step Saint Kings should be Yan Wang and Lian Hou from the Yin Yang Realm, while the three-step Saint King was Qing Liaoya, a young prodigy from the Yin Yang Realm. Zhang Ruochen had fought against him when he was still in the Saint Realm, and he was a formidable opponent.

A strange light flashed in Yan Wang's eyes: "A Buddhist cultivator, you're from the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm." "The experts of the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm are all with Fairy Cihang, confronting Young Master Ziheng and the others. However, Buddhists are scattered throughout the universe; he might not necessarily be a monk from the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm. His appearance here isn't surprising. But since he discovered us harvesting the Supreme Perfection Fruit, we cannot let him leave," Qing Liaoya said coldly.

Di Yi didn't explain anything to them. Looking at the Supreme Perfection Fruits on the tree, he smiled and said, "These five Supreme Perfection Fruits are destined for this humble monk."

"So he was a greedy monk. Now he deserves to be killed even more." Empress Lian was an extremely sexy and alluring woman who had also cultivated enchanting arts.

"Leave it to me." Two balls of azure purifying divine fire surged from Qing Liaoya's palm. His cultivation had reached the third step of Saint King, but he had combat power no weaker than the fifth step of Saint King. In a battle against someone of the same realm, he was no weaker than the four experts of the Fenghuang Saint Camp that Emperor Yi had encountered back then.

Di Yi remained calm and composed, naturally not taking Qing Liaoya seriously. He laughed and said, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I should thank you for binding the five Supreme Perfection Fruits, otherwise this humble monk would have had to spend more time."

Seeing that he was fearless, Qing Liaoya dared not underestimate his opponent and pushed the Purifying Divine Fire to its limit. The flames transformed into two fire snakes and rushed towards Di Yi.

Emperor Yi stepped forward, his Buddhist robe, formed from holy light, radiating golden Buddhist light. With a single palm strike, he shattered the Divine Fire of Purification. The palm print landed on Qing Fang's body, directly scattering his flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton imbued with divine aura in place.

“You are right about one thing: now that you have discovered the existence of the Supreme Perfection Fruit, you must stay here today.”

"What a powerful monk! He killed Green Fang with a single palm strike."

Yan Wang, Lian Hou, and Yuwen Jing were all immediately on high alert. No wonder the other party seemed so fearless; their strength was truly formidable.

"You dare to kill someone from the Yin-Yang Realm? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Yin-Yang Realm, and even the entire Heavenly Realm faction, once the news gets out?" Yuwen Jing said sternly.

His strength was similar to that of Qing Liaoya. If Qing Liaoya could kill him with a single palm strike, he could certainly kill him with one as well.

"But we'll have to wait until it gets out before we can talk about it."

Di Yi didn't want to waste any more words with them. His body moved like a flying rainbow, reaching extreme speed, and he instantly approached the three of them.

"Be careful, this is the path of flowing light."

Yan Wang made the first move, unleashing nine incomparably domineering flames from his body, transforming the surrounding area into a fiery domain.

He emerged from the flames, resembling an invincible demon god, his aura overwhelmingly powerful.

Yan Wang's cultivation level is at the peak of the Six-Step Saint King. As a leader of the Yin-Yang Realm, he has formidable combat power and can even contend with an Eight-Step Saint King.

"Well come."

After breaking through to the sixth step of the Saint King realm, Di Yi had long wanted to find a powerful opponent to fight.

He struck out with a palm, meeting the giant handprint unleashed by the Flame King, without using any sacred techniques, relying solely on his physical strength to meet the attack head-on.

"Boom!"

Yan Wang activated tens of thousands of fire-based rules, unleashing a mid-level holy technique, intending to kill the monk before him with a single palm strike.

But the moment they clashed, the terrifying force from the other's palm made him change color.

"How can it be."

Di Yi suddenly exerted his strength, sending Yan Wang flying backward, his golden light intensifying.

“He has cultivated the legendary Buddhist golden body, which is indestructible and invincible. Ordinary methods cannot deal with him.” Empress Lian saw the extraordinary golden light emanating from Emperor Yi.

"This monk is strange; let's join forces to deal with him." Yan Wang once again activated his nine flames and charged towards Di Yi.

Empress Lian also made a move, realizing that Yan Wang alone was no match for this monk.

Having repelled Yan Wang with a single palm strike, Di Yi gained a certain understanding of his current combat strength; experts at the Eighth Step Saint King level could no longer threaten him.

"You guys are too weak, I'm not playing with you anymore."

Emperor Yi stood on the ground, with a hundred-foot-long Buddhist light surging behind him, and the image of the Holy Palm appeared, a dragon and an elephant, both extremely ferocious.

Tens of thousands of truth rules and tens of thousands of palm-path rules simultaneously activated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, unleashing terrifying palm power.

"The dragon and the elephant reach the heavens."

A dragon and an elephant materialized and flew out from the palm of his hand, colliding with King Yan and Queen Lian.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, two tattered bodies flew back and crashed in front of Yuwen Jing, creating two deep craters in the ground.

Dust and smoke billowed all around, and a soft laugh came from within: "Your turn next."

Yuwen Jing's face turned pale. With both the King of Yan and the Queen of Lian defeated, he dared not fight the monk in front of him and turned to run away.

But after escaping for only a dozen feet, he was pierced through by a beam of holy light.

The reason they didn't kill Yuwen Jing before was because there were other disciples of the Temple of Truth nearby. But once they entered the Mountain of Gods, they didn't have so many concerns.

After cleaning up the four corpses, Di Yi then looked at the five Supreme Perfection Fruits.

The Supreme Perfection Fruit, as its name suggests, allows cultivators to obtain a Supreme Perfection Physique after consumption. Those with a Supreme Perfection Physique can then use it to condense a divine destiny.

The Crown Prince of the Imperial Ancestor sought the supreme and perfect fruit in order to condense a divine destiny and make his position as Crown Prince more secure.

The five fruits were previously sealed by Lady Lian, but now that Lady Lian is dead, the seal has loosened and they are showing signs of escaping.

Emperor Yi took out the World-Stabilizing Banner, opened the spatial gate, and put all five fruits into it, which he would then slowly suppress later.
