Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1318: Chapter 5: Sudden Upheaval

”Hehehe... Do you five old fools still think you can suppress me? You can’t keep me down!”

A sinister voice echoed from within the Demon Lotus.

Inside the Demon Lotus, a Demon Fetus was being nurtured.

The Holy Artifact of the Sky Demon Clan, the Demon Lotus, was extremely eerie. It could not only create a Demon Lotus World but also possessed formidable attack and defensive powers, and even the ability to nurture life.

In the Sky Demon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Emperors were of two kinds: those who cultivated afterwards, and those known as the Innate Emperor Embryo, which were Demon Fetuses nurtured by the Demon Lotus. Once a Demon Fetus cultivated to the realm of a Demon Emperor, their power far surpassed that of a Great Emperor who cultivated through acquired means.

Lin Feng knew the Azure Cloud Sect had obtained a Demon Fetus but did not know that the Demon Fetus was nurtured from a Demon Lotus.

”Hmph, we are not suppressing you, but refining you. Now that you have been sacrificially refined for nearly ten years, it’s time to refine you for good,”

One of the patriarchs sneered coldly.

”Haha, with just you five useless old men? Do you know what saddens you the most? It’s greed. With just your level of cultivation, you think you can refine me? So arrogant,” the Demon Fetus sneered scornfully.

”Do not waste words with it. Today, we will exert all our power to refine it!” the second patriarch said.

”Alright!”

The other four patriarchs responded in agreement.

Immediately, the five patriarchs continuously changed their Magic Decisions, sending one after another into the Demon Lotus.

They wanted to refine the Demon Fetus, but it was not that simple; refining the Demon Fetus was not an easy task.

The Demon Fetus roared, ”Futile efforts, you cannot possibly refine me, and instead, you will be devoured by me!”

Boom!

A terrifying aura surged from within the Demon Lotus, and a malevolent force began to suppress the five patriarchs.

”Azure Sky Seal!”

The five patriarchs conjured the Supreme Treasure of the Azure Cloud Sect, the Azure Sky Seal, to suppress the Demon Lotus.

This time, the Demon Lotus was subdued once more, with demonic energy retracting as the Demon Fetus within it roared in anger.

The eyes of the five patriarchs suddenly brightened, as they saw hope in refining the Demon Fetus.

Shua!!

At this moment, a figure passed through the outer prohibition and entered the cave.

”Huangfu Qingtian, who gave you permission to come here?”

One patriarch looked at Huangfu Qingtian with a face that suddenly turned grim, and he scolded coldly.

Huangfu Qingtian saluted the five patriarchs and said, ”I heard the five patriarchs are sacrificially refining a Demon Fetus, and I have a treasure that can help suppress it, so I came without an invitation to offer my treasure, hoping the five patriarchs would forgive my boldness!”

The five patriarchs, upon hearing that Huangfu Qingtian came to present a treasure, dropped their guard. One patriarch said, ”It’s rare to see such filial piety. Come forth and present your treasure.”

”Yes...” Huangfu Qingtian nodded, walked to the side of the five patriarchs, and flipped his right hand, revealing a mysterious blood-red mirror.

Huangfu Qingtian said, ”Five patriarchs, please see, this is the treasure. With this treasure, the Demon Lotus can be suppressed, allowing you to refine the Demon Fetus nurtured within it!”

The eyes of the five patriarchs were drawn to the blood-red mirror.

They all gazed at it in astonishment.

The mirror was incredibly eerie.

Suddenly, a bloody eye appeared in the mirror, which blinked slightly.

Ah!

The five patriarchs were heavily injured, their eyes flowing with blood. The bloody pupil was too bewitching, directly blinding all five patriarchs.

”Huangfu Qingtian, you little beast, how dare you plot against us!”

The five patriarchs roared in anger, wanting to strike down Huangfu Qingtian.

But Huangfu Qingtian had already plotted everything in advance!!

He had promptly taken action.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

The five patriarchs were sent flying by Huangfu Qingtian.

Wow!

Immediately, the five patriarchs spat out blood and fell to the ground, their mana dissipating, leaving them powerless to fight.

”Huangfu Qingtian, when you were eight years old, I saved your life from a group of evildoers, yet now you wish to put me to death—why did I rescue you back then?” An elder, full of sorrow and indignation, spoke.

This elder was the Old Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Years ago, a part of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty’s Royal Family went for ancestral worship and was beset by hostile forces. It was the Old Sect Master who saved Huangfu Qingtian.

Huangfu Qingtian, with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly and said, ”Old Sect Master’s life-saving grace is indelible. I have always remembered it. However, the great favor you showed me cannot be repaid in this life; if there is an afterlife, I will repay it, surely.”

”Poof!”

Hearing Huangfu Qingtian’s words, the Old Sect Master, overwhelmed by rage, spat out fresh blood, his entire aura instantly deflating.

”Why? Huangfu Qingtian, why are you doing this?” Another patriarch asked in deep sorrow.

The five patriarchs all favored Huangfu Qingtian, even considering him the hope for revitalizing the Azure Cloud Sect.

Yet Huangfu Qingtian has clearly let them down.

”People strive upward, water flows downward. The Sky Demon Clan is the mightiest race among the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms. I choose to collaborate with the Sky Demon Clan—what’s the big deal? The Heavenly Martial Continent is too small, it cannot contain someone like me, Huangfu Qingtian. If all goes well, I will follow the Sky Demon Clan to the Extraterrestrial Starry World, which is where I, Huangfu Qingtian, should go.”

Huangfu Qingtian spoke indifferently.

”So it was! So it was! You had a connection all along and reached an agreement!”

The five patriarchs were like ash-faced dead men.

Without the suppression from the five patriarchs, the Demon Lotus instantly broke the seal.

The Demon Fetus’s ominous voice echoed, ”My methods are wondrous, and I’ve long unknowingly probed everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect. Only three people are qualified to collaborate with me, namely Que Butian, Lin Feng, and Huangfu Qingtian.”

”Que Butian is mysterious, seemingly hiding many secrets that even I dread, so I did not contact him. As for Lin Feng, despite seeming the easiest to sway, my observation showed this person is extremely resolute, acts without many schemes or plots, and without backhanded calculations; such a person is likely filled with a sense of justice and can’t be dealt with.”

”So I chose to collaborate with Huangfu Qingtian. Huangfu Qingtian is a smart person who knows with whom to collaborate to become a true overlord across the All Heavens without being confined to a trivial place like the Heavenly Martial Continent.”

”To think it would end this way, we are not grieved by our death, only that it implicates the Azure Cloud Sect, bringing calamity upon it. Even in death, we have no face to meet our ancestors.” The five patriarchs lamented.

”You can all die now!” the Demon Fetus laughed coldly, as a burst of demonic light engulfed the five patriarchs.

Bang.

The bodies of the five patriarchs exploded into a mist of blood, consumed by the Demon Lotus.

Boom!

The next moment, an earth-shattering aura emanated from the Demon Lotus.

”Such a terrifying demonic power, something has gone awry in the Xuyu Small World...”

As Lin Feng was rushing toward the Xuyu Small World, he sensed the demonic power emanating from it, causing his face to change dramatically.
