“Oh no!”

Everyone’s expressions tightened as they watched the crack on the Eight Gates Heaven Locking Array grow larger.

Finally, with a crash, the array completely shattered into myriad light particles and dissipated.

Eight Gates Heaven Locking Array, break!

In that instant, Yellow Autumn and Wu You exchanged glances.

At this moment, the two of them had a tacit understanding. They stopped targeting Jiang Chengxuan and focused on Shen Ruyan, who was in seclusion.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes darkened.

He knew facing three Soul Formation cultivators simultaneously left him with no chance of victory.

He even doubted his ability to protect Shen Ruyan without going to extreme lengths.

It seemed he had no choice but to use that move.

Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze became resolute.

The next moment, the power of the Five Elements surged around him again.

Blue, red, yellow, white, and green lights ascended, and simultaneously, his four intrinsic true treasures appeared above his head.

Golden Void Sword, Deep Earth Halberd, Eternal Scorching Sun Furnace, Yin Yang Divine Water Jade.

These treasures seemed to connect, forming a certain pattern, but something was still missing.

Jiang Chengxuan used his hand as a blade.

There was a clang.

The Azure Emperor’s Heaven-Slaying Saber was summoned out of thin air.

In an instant, a rich wood aura filled the air.

The five different elemental powers collided, merged, repelled, compressed, and then merged and collided again.

Gradually, a giant disc displaying a five-colored light formed above Jiang Chengxuan’s head.

Seeing this, Heavenly Lord Shao Yang, who had been calm and confident from the beginning to the end, narrowed his eyes.

He could not care anything else and immediately shouted at Yellow Autumn and Wu You,

“Yellow Autumn, Wu You, hurry!

We absolutely cannot let him unleash that supreme power!”

With that, Heavenly Lord Shao Yang made the first move.

A golden sun appeared in the sky, with him appearing as if he was on the sun itself.

Rumble!

The golden sun, with unparalleled terrifying power, descended directly towards Mount Mystic Tai.

This was Heavenly Lord Shao Yang’s renowned supreme power, the Setting Sun.

Anyone hit by the Setting Sun would see their life fade away like the setting sun, gradually descending into darkness.

Yellow Autumn and Wu You also sensed the abnormality in Jiang Chengxuan and didn’t dare to delay.

Yellow Autumn’s yellow gourd and Wu You’s sword, like Heavenly Lord Shao Yang’s Setting Sun, all targeted Shen Ruyan’s seclusion cave abode at Mount Mystic Tai.

At that moment, Mount Mystic Tai seemed like a lone boat in a storm, at risk of being engulfed by a tsunami at any moment.

All the cultivators of the Jiang family felt despair as they watched the protective array atop the mountain grow weaker and dimmer.

Their hearts were on their throats.

However, at this moment, the four intrinsic True Treasures that Jiang

Chengxuan took out and the Azure Emperor’s Heaven-Slaying Saber suddenly turned into a circular wheel that emitted five-colored light in midair.

As it spinned, countless phenomena followed.

Towering trees, volcanoes, yellow sands, weapons, and vast ocean waves.

The five most fundamental elements of the world exploded with astonishing might.

It was the Five Elements Wheel that Jiang Chengxuan had unleashed at the cost of burning a thousand years of his lifespan and sacrificing his own essence.

Under the continuous crushing and rotation of these five most basic yet profound elements,

No matter what kind of treasure or supreme power, none could resist it.

Loud, rumbling explosions followed one after another.

Heavenly Lord Shao Yang’s supreme power, the Setting Sun, was the first to be gradually eradicated by the five elements, eventually dissipating like fireflies.

The true treasures of Yellow Autumn and Wu You also couldn’t last even a breath’s time.

Both treasures emitted mournful sounds.

Dong—

There was a clang as the yellow gourd and the sword fell to the ground, their luster completely gone.

Ahhhh!

At the same time.

Yellow Autumn and Wu You spat out mouthfuls of blood.

They looked at Jiang Chengxuan with shock and disbelief, having not anticipated that this Nascent Soul junior would still have hidden trump cards at this point.

However, using such an overwhelming power that exceeded his own limits, Jiang Chengxuan certainly paid a price.

First and foremost was his lifespan.

In just that short moment, a thousand years of his life had burned away.

Although his appearance and body didn’t change significantly, his hair at the temples had turned snow-white, and his aura palpably weakened.

Most importantly, he had overdrawn upon his own essence.

Not only had this caused some damage to his four intrinsic true treasures, making it impossible for him to use them for a long time, but it had also harmed his foundation.

Without special means, this injury was almost impossible to recover from.

Jiang Chengxuan slowly stood up from a half-kneeling position and looked towards Shao Yang, Yellow Autumn, and Wu You.

Once again, a powerful aura burst forth from him.

The expressions of Heavenly Lord Shao Yang, Yellow Autumn, and Wu You changed.

They instinctively took a step back.

However, it was this every step that made their hearts sink.

One had to know that the person in front of them was only a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, at this moment, he managed to force three Soul Formation Heavenly Lords back.

This was quite unbelievable.

When had Soul Formation Heavenly Lords ever felt fear towards a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Heavenly Lord Shao Yang’s eyes regained their sharpness.

This time, there was no smile on his face, only an extremely cold murderous intent.

“I want to see if you can unleash an attack like that again!” he declared.

“You can try,” replied Jiang Chengxuan, his aura surging once more.

Then, a power that seemed to distort time suddenly swept past his body.

Instantly, the essence he had depleted and the damage to his foundation miraculously recovered as if nothing had happened.

This was also the most magical aspect of the Infinite Wheel.

It could restore all injuries in a blink of an eye.

However, Jiang Chengxuan hadn’t yet cultivated this technique to the level of Soul Formation.

While he used the special ability of this technique to recover his spent essence and heal his damaged foundation, the thousand years of lifespan he had burnt earlier could not be restored.

Moreover, he only had one chance to use this special ability of the Infinite Wheel under his current circumstances.

If he were to suffer similar injuries again, he would undoubtedly find it impossible to recover.

“What?”

Perceiving that Jiang Chengxuan’s injuries had fully healed again, Yellow Autumn, Wu You, and Shao Yang were all visibly startled.

They couldn’t fathom how Jiang Chengxuan possessed so many extraordinary methods.

They clearly sensed that he had been on his last legs, with his essence and foundation nearly irreversibly damaged.

Yet in the blink of an eye, he had fully recovered, making them question whether he could launch another attack like before.

If he could do it again, perhaps one of the three of them would die because of this.

For a moment, the eyes of Shao Yang, Yellow Autumn, and Wu You flickered.

In the end, it was Shao Yang who broke the silence.

He said in a low voice, “Both of you, regardless of whether he can use that kind of method again, we can’t continue to wait.

I have a premonition that once his companion emerges from seclusion, we might face tremendous trouble.

So.

We must act again.”

With these words, a golden disc appeared above Shao Yang’s head, shining like the sun.

This was his intrinsic Pure Yang True Treasure, the Limitless Sun Whee, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

As soon as he conjured it, Jiang Chengxuan’s mind was filled with intense warnings of danger.

Clearly.

Clearly, a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord with a Pure Yang True Treasure was on an entirely different level compared to one without.

Especially since Jiang Chengxuan was now unable to use the Five Elements Wheel anymore.

BOOM!

Yellow Autumn and Wu You clearly understood what Shao Yang meant.

In the next moment, two massive avatars appeared behind them.

One was an eight-armed giant, each hand wielding a true treasure: a sword, spear, saber, halberd, axe, hook, and fork, each emitting an unmatched ferocious aura.

The other held a colossal sword, surrounded by endless sword qi that soared up to the heavens.

These were the Soul Formation avatars, not quite the real avatars of the Void Returning Divine Lords but still avatars nonetheless, unique to Soul Formation Heavenly Lords and one of their strongest abilities.

Feeling the determination from the three, Jiang Chengxuan knew they wouldn’t give him any more chances this time.

He also understood that it would be impossible for him to withstand the combined attack of the three.

If it came to the worst, he might have to resort to his last card.

Jiang Chengxuan tried to sense the Merit Golden Lotus and the Merit Purple Qi, contemplating which one would be more suitable to use.

Just as he was deliberating, an immensely vast aura suddenly burst forth from the cave abode where Shen Ruyan was in seclusion at Mount Mystic Tai.

Instantaneously, thunder and lightning ravaged the sky.

Twisting lightning bolts, like flying dragons, continuously darted through the clouds in various parts of the sky.

The scene was terrifying to the extreme..
