This creature was emaciated and withered, far from imposing, as if petrified, its body caked with earth and stones. Its long, straw-like hair, dull and tangled, shrouded its entire frame like wild grass.
Years had passed with it suppressed beneath the mountain, never seeing the light of day. Its unkempt locks lacked luster, its body gaunt and skeletal—nothing like the image of a peerless powerhouse one might imagine.
Were it not for the legends, few would believe that beneath the Five Elements Mountain lay such a being.
The Five Elements Divine Chains, said to be indestructible through the ages, were supreme treasures inscribed with the profound mysteries and laws of the Heavenly Venerate, binding this creature tightly, making escape impossible.
Yet, despite this, the Qin Clan trembled in fear, their blood running cold, their hearts filled with boundless dread.
Especially the elders and above—those who knew the secrets—understood just how terrifying this being was. Countless lives had been lost in the ancient past to suppress it.
Killing it had proven nearly impossible, hence its imprisonment here, its bones ground down, its soul refined, hoping time itself would eventually claim it.
But today, the Five Elements Mountain had been overturned, unleashing this creature upon the world—an unmitigated disaster.
“Do you realize what you’ve done?” The Five Elements Mountain roared, soaring from the distance, its five peaks towering, vast beyond measure, draped in chaotic mist like divine waterfalls.
This was its true form—majestic, born of chaos before the dawn of creation, infused with the traces of the primordial Dao, making it peerlessly powerful.
The world knew of the Five Elements Ring of the Immortal Mountain, a weapon that shook the Eight Domains, hailed as one of the strongest artifacts of antiquity.
Yet only those at the sect leader level understood the true horror of the Immortal Mountain—its very essence was the Five Elements Mountain, the root of the Five Elements Dao.
The Five Elements Ring was merely an imitation, painstakingly crafted by ancient sages in emulation of this mountain’s divine patterns. Though unmatched among man-made weapons, it paled in comparison to the original.
The Five Elements Mountain descended, seeking to reseal the creature.
Above the clouds, the small pagoda shimmered, unleashing sword beams—though it was a pagoda, its attacks manifested as peerless chaotic sword radiance!
“Whoosh!”
Blades of light streaked across the heavens, dazzling and terrifying, stretching for countless miles, making cultivators across the domain tremble with suffocating dread.
The Five Elements Mountain glowed in response, five Dao energies swirling into primal patterns, forming radiant runes like interwoven stars.
The clash shook the earth, a terrifying aura spreading, making all living beings quake in fear.
Yet, both artifacts controlled their power precisely, preventing collateral destruction. The Qin Clan, though nearby, remained unharmed, though they collapsed under the oppressive aura, paralyzed by primal terror.
Shi Hao, shielded by the pagoda’s gentle chaotic light, remained unaffected, floating high above the battlefield.
“Boom!”
The pagoda erupted with symbols—mythical beasts like Suanni, Roc, and Taotie—etched upon its jade-white surface, embodying boundless power.
The heavens trembled as if ancient divine beasts had been resurrected. Stars shimmered amidst the chaotic mist as the pagoda unleashed its full might—enough to sink an entire domain if unchecked.
The Five Elements Mountain shuddered under the onslaught, forced to counter with its own supreme Dao. Five divine lights surged, seeking to immobilize the pagoda.
“Underestimating me?” The pagoda scoffed. With a shake, a Taotie emerged, devouring all, while countless runes annihilated space.
Beasts of legend descended, trampling the Five Elements, shattering its grand laws.
“Clang!”
The pagoda clashed with the mountain again, their runes colliding like cascading chains of order, erupting and vanishing in a spectacle of supreme power.
Both were sent reeling—the pagoda wobbling drunkenly, the mountain flung into the sky, barely stabilizing.
“Why hasn’t it broken free? Did it die under the seal?” the pagoda mused.
Even Shi Hao and the Qin Clan were puzzled—the creature had remained motionless, silent.
The Five Elements Mountain itself grew wary. For eons, it had slumbered, solely to suppress this being. Only the Qin Clan’s near-destruction had roused it.
“Wasted effort if it’s dead,” the pagoda grumbled, lamenting the fruitless conflict.
“Whoosh!”
Another chaotic sword beam struck the creature—only a strand of its straw-like hair was severed. Its desiccated body remained unharmed, defying all logic.
A mysterious aura stirred. The creature twitched—proof it lived!
The Five Elements Mountain lunged back, intent on resealing it.
“Not dead after all,” the pagoda remarked. “But if it stays still, I’ll cut it down with my strongest blade.”
It intercepted the mountain again.
“Have you gone mad? Releasing it will bring calamity!” the mountain thundered, urgency in its voice.
Born of chaos, imprinted with heaven and earth’s might, even it feared this creature.
“Not my problem. Let the Upper Realm deal with it,” the pagoda sneered.
“This wasn’t the work of one man. Do you seek endless enemies?” the mountain warned.
Their battle raged, each strike capable of reshaping the world, yet contained to avoid collateral damage.
“I don’t care. Those who wronged me will pay,” the pagoda retorted, eager to unleash chaos upon the Upper Realm.
Another sword beam struck the creature—sparks flew, but it remained unscathed.
“Rumble!”
A terrifying presence erupted as the creature finally awakened.
It had sealed its essence, resisting time’s erosion, surviving eons of imprisonment.
Now, its golden pupils ignited like twin suns, forcing the Qin Clan to shut their bleeding eyes.
“Snap!”
Chains clinked as the creature rose, surveying the sky, the earth, the pagoda, and the mountain—silent, yet radiating menace.
“Suppress!” The Five Elements Mountain blazed, its five-colored light capable of annihilating worlds.
“Clang!”
The pagoda intercepted.
Below, the creature inhaled—and the heavens convulsed.
All essence, all starlight, all cosmic energy surged into its maw, replenishing its depleted strength.
Time seemed to freeze as it stood there, a vortex of power, draining the domain of its vitality.
The world darkened. The balance shifted.
The ancient powers knew—the heavens would soon tremble.
A legend had awakened.
And chaos would follow.
