Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 51 Battle Against the Old Demon of the Joyful Union

When the Old Demon of Hehuan arrived at Pangu Sect, Lei Ming's seclusion was still ongoing. The Old Demon of Hehuan avoided the disciples at the foot of the mountain and went directly up the mountain. The Hehuan Sect was known for its illusion techniques, so he walked past the disciples as if they couldn't see him at all.

The Old Demon of Hehuan wanted to ascend the mountain, but was blocked by the Five Elements Formation. He opened his Dharma Eye and saw five array flags standing in five directions, each with a powerful phantom of a spirit beast on it. The five array flags represented the five elements, which flowed and generated endlessly, eventually merging into one. Even he could not break the formation without Lei Ming noticing.

"No wonder he earned the title of the Five Elements Ancestor; he certainly has unique skills in the Five Elements magic." The Joyful Union Demon gave up his idea of ​​infiltrating.

The Old Demon of Hehuan released his aura, and the Five Elements Formation, stimulated by the demonic energy, immediately began to operate, which also alerted Lei Ming, who was in seclusion. Lei Ming scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered the Old Demon of Hehuan outside the formation.

"He's a powerful cultivator. Judging from his demonic aura, he's the only one like him in the entire Tiannan region." Lei Ming immediately recognized the other party's identity. "He's not here with good intentions. Good intentions don't come here. Let's see what he has to say."

Lei Ming's heart stirred, and a passage two zhang wide appeared before the Old Demon Hehuan. Five-colored light flowed throughout the passage, dreamlike and ethereal. The Old Demon Hehuan sneered upon seeing this and stepped into the passage. Hehuan appeared relaxed, but in reality, he was prepared for battle, his magical power ready to erupt at any moment. However, the moment he stepped into the passage, a flash of light appeared, and a force enveloped him.

The Old Demon of Hehuan thought Lei Ming was plotting against him, so he immediately took out a jade-white ancient treasure. However, before he could make a move, the passage had already disappeared, and the Old Demon of Hehuan had arrived in front of Lei Ming's cave.

The Old Demon of Hehuan was extremely surprised; he hadn't even been able to react to that power just now!

Lei Ming's cave opened, and he walked out with a smile. Seeing his relaxed appearance, the Old Demon Hehuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful; he really shouldn't have rashly barged into Lei Ming's grand formation.

"You must be the Old Demon of the Joyful Union Sect," Lei Ming said. "Fellow Daoist, you've come uninvited. May I ask what your purpose is?"

Although he was somewhat worried, the old demon Hehuan was in no way inferior in terms of his aura.

"So you are Lei Ming of the Pangu Sect. Your Five Elements magic is indeed formidable." The Old Demon of Hehuan nodded. He was infamous, but in reality, he was a handsome young man. "Not long ago, the people from the Thousand Illusions Sect complained that you robbed their spirit stone mine. Is that true?"

"It seems you've come to question me," Lei Ming said. "That spirit stone mine was discovered by my sect's disciples and belongs to my Pangu Sect. If anyone is going to steal it, it's the Thousand Illusions Sect."

"Since the Thousand Illusions Sect has asked us to uphold justice, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. Fellow Daoist Lei, please come with me," said the Old Demon of the Joyful Union Sect.

Lei Ming laughed: "Qianhuan Sect is part of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and is under your jurisdiction, but my Pangu Sect is not under your jurisdiction. You want to uphold justice for Qianhuan Sect, but you want my Pangu Sect to cooperate. It's ridiculous."

"The Pangu Sect is also located in Tiannan, and is a member of the cultivation world in Tiannan." The old demon Hehuan's face darkened. No one had ever dared to refuse him like this before.

Lei Ming shook his head. He knew what the Old Demon of the Joyful Union was planning, and that was why he had no intention of dealing with them.

"You want to control my Pangu Sect? That's impossible."

"It seems you've made up your mind to oppose my Tiannan Cultivator Alliance." The Old Demon Hehuan accused Lei Ming of a crime.

"Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, can rally the cultivators of Tiannan to attack my Pangu Sect?" Lei Ming sneered. "Hehuan Old Demon, there's no need for further nonsense. If you want my Pangu Sect to contribute, it's impossible without giving up some benefits."

"Such arrogance! I'll test your strength!"

The Old Demon of Hehuan said he was just trying it out, but he immediately attacked with deadly force. Two golden flying swords, surrounded by pink light, shot out from his body.

Lei Ming dared not be careless and immediately unleashed the Five Elements Divine Light. The Metal Divine Light brushed onto the flying swords, causing them to spin rapidly and disappear in the blink of an eye.

The Old Demon of Hehuan was greatly surprised to lose his connection with the flying sword. This flying sword was a magic weapon he had personally crafted and had been with him for over 300 years, never having been taken away by any enemy.

The Old Demon of Hehuan released his divine sense to try to recall the flying sword, but the flying sword had been sealed by Lei Ming's Five Elements Forbidden Technique and could not be sensed at all.

A flash of red light appeared on the body of the Old Demon of the Joyful Union, and he rushed towards Lei Ming. The Five Elements Divine Light was unleashed once again. The Old Demon of the Joyful Union was shocked and transformed into a streak of light to dodge. After all, he was a great cultivator, and his speed was extremely fast when he unleashed his full power. He actually managed to dodge the Five Elements Divine Light.

Lei Ming's expression became much more serious. Since he mastered the Five Elements Divine Light, he had been able to eliminate people and objects with unparalleled success. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Seeing this, the Old Demon of Hehuan was also somewhat frightened. Although he did not know the power of the Five Elements Divine Light, he knew from his intuition that he could not directly confront its edge.

"I have to avoid his spells." The Old Demon of Hehuan thought, and spat out a flying shuttle. After circling above his head, the shuttle shot towards Leiming, emitting a strong white light that was dazzling.

Lei Ming's expression remained unchanged, and the Five Elements Divine Light swept out again. Unexpectedly, the flying shuttle suddenly turned in a circle, not only avoiding the Five Elements Divine Light but also circling behind Lei Ming.

Lei Ming reacted quickly. With a thought, he unleashed the Five Elements Divine Light backward, causing the shuttle to dodge again. But this time, Lei Ming had anticipated its trajectory, and the Metal Element Divine Light struck the shuttle, immediately sealing it.

The Old Demon of Hehuan remained silent. His three magic treasures were all renowned, yet none of them could withstand Lei Ming's spell.

The Old Demon of Hehuan had no doubt that even if he used more magic weapons, it would be useless.

However, the old demon Hehuan's methods did not stop there. He quickly made hand seals, and streaks of lightning flashed in his palms. Suddenly, the lightning shot out and turned into a bolt of lightning several feet long.

The Five Elements Divine Light swept towards the thunderbolt, and with each flash of light, the thunderbolt's power was reduced by half. After several strikes, the spell, powerful enough to severely injure an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, had vanished. The Old Demon of the Joyful Union was somewhat angry; so far, Lei Ming had rendered him helpless with just the Five Elements Divine Light. In all his years of fame, this was the first time he had encountered such an opponent.

Lei Ming watched the changes in his expression and felt secretly pleased; the Five Elements Divine Light was indeed that domineering.

The Old Demon of Hehuan slapped his forehead, and a small black bell slowly rose up. The bell spun above his head, flashed with a blue light, and then a large amount of purple light shot out from within, protecting the Old Demon of Hehuan. At the same time, the Old Demon of Hehuan held a halberd in his hand. The halberd was bronze in color and looked extremely heavy; it was clearly also an ancient treasure.

Without hesitation, Lei Ming unleashed the Five Elements Divine Light upon Xiao Zhong and the Old Demon Hehuan. The radiance surrounding the Old Demon Hehuan thinned considerably, while Xiao Zhong swayed. The Old Demon Hehuan immediately used his battle halberd to suppress him.

"Your Five Elements Spells are powerful, but they also have weaknesses!" Having become a Grand Cultivator, the Old Demon of the Joyful Union possessed vast combat experience. After several tests, he had already discerned the shortcomings of the Five Elements Divine Light. The Five Elements Divine Light could dispel magical treasures, but as long as his treasures remained in his possession, the Five Elements Divine Light would find it difficult to dispel them. Moreover, spells could also resist the Five Elements Divine Light.

The Old Demon of Hehuan charged towards Leiming, wielding his battle halberd. The halberd's sharp edge shattered even the gale-force winds. Leiming was not to be outdone, and the Xuanhuang Flying Sword appeared in his hand. The two clashed fiercely on the mountain, their speed astonishing, almost invisible to the eye. The aftershocks of their battle formed white gales that entangled them, but neither of them seemed to care.

The old demon Hehuan's halberd was heavy and powerful, while Leiming's flying sword was light and fast. The two used their respective methods and fought hundreds of moves in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the suppression of the Five Elements Formation, Yunyin Mountain would have been destroyed.

Clang! Lei Ming's flying sword struck the halberd, the recoil causing him to stagger back several steps. The Old Demon of the Joyful Union immediately seized the opportunity, several flashes of sword energy appearing as the two separated once more. Lei Ming took a moment to recover; his magical power was comparable to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, though somewhat inferior to the Old Demon of the Joyful Union. However, Lei Ming's robust physical body compensated for his lack of magical power.

The Old Demon of Hehuan looked at the halberd in his hand, his expression grim. This halberd was an extremely powerful ancient treasure, but it had been damaged in the battle with Lei Ming.

Ancient treasures are ultimately inferior to Lei Ming's Xuanhuang Flying Sword.

The Old Demon of Hehuan snorted coldly and threw out more than a dozen magic treasures. The two fastest magic treasures self-destructed next to Lei Ming, and the powerful force made Lei Ming's expression change.

"Hehuan Old Demon, do you really want to fight me to the death?" Lei Ming used the Five Elements Formation to suppress the power of the magic weapon's self-destruction.

"If I cannot suppress you today, what face will I have to lead the demonic path?" the Old Demon of Hehuan roared.

"Since that's the case, then you'll see what I'm capable of!"
