Chapter 142 The Five Elements (1/2)

Song Qingyi felt refreshing the moment Shen Lian stepped ahead and drew his sword. He felt like while the person was still Shen Lian, the feeling he gave had changed from a small flowing stream to a gushing river. There was no transition and it was not something people could get used to.

When the sword aura was let out with a high level of Qi, the breath of the Mirage Demon all in a sudden became a deep valley. All the sword aura, including the Qi of vitality was absorbed into the valley.

Even before Shen Lian’s Qi of Taixu could explode, it was all darkness, as if he was situated in the outer space without the universe.

There was not a sound. He realize he could not breathe as there was no Qi of vitality available to him.

If one was trapped in a small dark room without doing anything for one or two days, the person would go crazy. Regardless of how brave the person was, if one were trapped in pure darkness with no end or exit in sight, it was similar to being trapped in a small dark room.

Fear would arise, and it would then spread until the heart could no longer take it. It would all go down.

Shen Lian flicked his fingers, and a green spell broke out. It kept pushing forward until it disappeared. There was not any response. Subsequently Shen Lian flicked out an electricity ray, with the intention to break out of the darkness, but the ray, too, disappeared in the darkness.

He used each of the eight powers – sky, earth, mountain, swamp, water, fire, wind, lightning and they were banished one by one. There was nothing he could do to change the darkness in the void. He could not even feel the breath of the king of Mirage Demon, or even his own.

He was calm in his thoughts. Given the king of Mirage Demon could set up such a terrifying void, it was not a surprise that Chen Jianmei could not kill it. It had the level of land immortals.

However, it did not seem to be that way. Even if the Nirvana Fire of the phoenix could lead to its reborn with a stronger vitality, it would not lead to a leap in power.

By understanding that, Shen Lian’s meridians became unobstructed.

He could understand the reason why none of his spells worked. Even for an ant placed in something as vast as the sea, it would be able to evoke a ripple.

It would only be possible if everything in front of him was imaginary. Imaginary led to the void, and subsequently emptiness.

Every hallucination stemmed from the heart and hence it was possible to create anything.

Even the king of Mirage Demon could not escape from his heart in order to create such a great illusion.

Shen Lian smiled, and his expressions were calmer. All of a sudden, his Xuande sword had transformed into a Ruyi jade. Nothing seemed out of place.

He began to be illuminated with divine light – he turned into an unknown deity, whose name was not known to any since ancient times.

Divine light spread out like water, but it did not seem to just end there.

Inch by inch the void dissipated, and there was no opposition to it. While it seemed that he was trapped in the void for a long time, but it was a short moment to the outside world.

The Mastery of Senses could help him in keeping thoughts in check, and naturally it could help with hallucination. The deity formed was even more horrifying than he imagined it to be. Enormous power was hidden within the plain and unassuming divine light.

The world regained light again. Shen Lian could see clearly that the Mirage Demon had left the Indus tree. The head which was akin to a lizard was coming towards him in an attempt to bite him.
