Under this extreme pressure of danger, Liu Guanfeng suddenly felt something moving beside him. He did not open his eyes; instead, he focused on his sensations. Under the coverage of his spiritual awareness, it seemed that something was still in motion.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng recalled the teachings of the Azure Dragon when he first encountered it: "All things in heaven and earth are transformed by the five elements. The highest realm of cultivation is not about how to absorb the five elements as energy for oneself, but rather how to use this energy more skillfully. You cultivate the five elements; they are everything to you. When you fully understand this, you will realize that you are heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are you."
The Azure Dragon's words were precisely the final realm that needed to be achieved in his Chaos Initial Skill's layer of chaotic heaven and earth, a realm that Liu Guanfeng had never fully comprehended.
Now, at this moment, Liu Guanfeng could calm his mind and carefully think about the Azure Dragon's words, meticulously pondering the language in this Mind Method and feeling the elemental activities around him.
Why was it that there were originally magicians on Knight Continent but now there were none? Humans could not use magic while magical beasts could. This was not because magic had disappeared, but because humans' perception of the elements had diminished. However, magical beasts were different; their perception of the elements was innate.
Moreover, their intimacy with the elements was beyond what humans could compare to. Therefore, after Supreme Deity Pangu cast the Forbidden Spell on Knight Continent, it reduced all living beings' sensitivity to the elements. Yet, due to their nature, magical beasts could still use some simple elemental magic while humans could no longer sense the existence of elements and thus could not use magic.
Liu Guanfeng's Chaos Initial Skill was different. When he reached the final layer, he would become one with heaven and earth; at that time, he could use almost any magic he desired. Once he mastered it, he would break through Pangu's Forbidden Spell.
Now, under the pressure of death, Liu Guanfeng suddenly sensed some elemental movements. He kept his eyes tightly closed: Was it too late for all this? Why was it only when I am close to death that I can comprehend this final layer of Mind Method?
Just as Liu Guanfeng was thinking this, a sudden sharp pain shot through his shoulder again. He realized that a magical beast was biting into his body.
The magical beast above saw that Liu Guanfeng had kept his eyes closed for a long time without opening them and assumed he was truly dead. It prepared to start feeding but did not expect that this little human's skin would be so resilient; its first bite failed to tear through.
Liu Guanfeng instinctively frowned at the pain, startling the magical beast. Could it be that this Little Guy was still alive?
Under the intense pain's stimulation, Liu Guanfeng became increasingly aware of the trajectories of elemental activities around him while also striving to communicate with these elements.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng suddenly felt some movement within himself. He began to concentrate on his inner self as his Chaotic Qi started to decompose the Thunder Energy he had just absorbed from the magical beast.
The Thunder Energy within Liu Guanfeng is limited. Once it reaches saturation, the Chaotic Qi in his body will naturally decompose a portion of it. After using some Thunder Energy, however, the Chaotic Qi cannot form new Thunder Energy.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng realized this. In the past, when his Thunder Energy was nearly depleted, he would regain it by practicing with Little Black, so he had never thought carefully about how to synthesize Thunder Energy from his Chaotic Qi.
Today, he took the time to calm down and observe the decomposition of the thunder within him. The Chaotic Qi was wrapping around all the excess Thunder Energy, and then this Chaotic Qi decomposed into the five elements. Following that, the five elements entered into the Thunder Energy. Under the influence of these five elements, the thunder was quickly broken down, and the decomposed five elements were also in a certain proportion. Subsequently, these five elements converted all the decomposed Thunder Energy into Chaotic Qi.
Soon, the excess Thunder Energy was completely decomposed. Liu Guanfeng continued to mobilize his Chaotic Qi to break down the remaining Thunder Energy until he understood the relationship between them.
Next, Liu Guanfeng used his understanding to convert Thunder Energy again using the five elements. After successfully simulating Thunder Energy with his five elements, Liu Guanfeng excitedly opened his eyes.
The beast standing on Liu Guanfeng was deep in thought because it had never encountered such a difficult prey before. It wasn't that the prey tasted bad; rather, it simply couldn't bite through.
The Chaotic Qi within Liu Guanfeng filled his entire body during the battle with the beast, forming a protective membrane. This protective membrane remained beneath Liu Guanfeng's skin, automatically appearing on the surface whenever the beast tried to bite him. As a result, despite numerous attempts to bite him, the most damage done was merely discomfort for Liu Guanfeng; there was no actual harm.
While the beast was desperately searching for a spot on Liu Guanfeng's body to bite into, Liu Guanfeng suddenly opened his eyes. The beast, which had been closely observing him, was startled but did not leave Liu Guanfeng's body.
When Liu Guanfeng opened his eyes, he could not only see the beast in front of him but also various elements swirling around it. In this vast domain of water, there were only a few fire elements, Metal Element, and Wood Element; most of it consisted of water elements and Earth Element.
Moreover, when Liu Guanfeng looked at the Thunder Energy surrounding the beast at that moment, it was no longer lightning but had been decomposed into five different elements.
Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng wake up, the beast was momentarily stunned before it opened its mouth wide and lunged at him. Instinctively, Liu Guanfeng dodged to the side while imagining pushing away the beast.
At that moment, something astonishing happened: just as the beast was about to bite Liu Guanfeng, a stone pillar suddenly rose from above his head. This stone pillar shot diagonally towards the beast's head.
The beast had no time to react and bit down on the stone pillar instead. One of its teeth was smashed off by the Stone impact; however, the stone pillar did not stop and continued to grow towards the beast's mouth, directly pushing it off Liu Guanfeng's body.
Liu Guanfeng rolled to the side through the gap, emerging from the small pit.
At this moment, his Twin Halberds had already been tossed aside by the magical beast. Liu Guanfeng had no choice but to take out his Fang Tian Hua Ji from the Cosmic Bag.
Liu Guanfeng still couldn't figure out where this stone pillar had come from and why it appeared just when he was nervous. Did he conjure it himself? Could he really use magic? A series of questions flooded Liu Guanfeng's mind.
So, Liu Guanfeng once again sensed the surrounding Five Elements and began to mimic the stone pillar, intending to create another one. However, he found this task too difficult.
Meanwhile, the magical beast was puzzled as well, wondering why a stone pillar suddenly appeared to assist this human. In this world, humans were not supposed to be able to use magic, and there were no Earth Department magical beasts around.
After scanning the area and confirming that there were no other magical beasts, the creature focused its gaze on the human before it. It was determined that this human could not be allowed to live any longer because he had injured it; this was the simplest thought of the magical beast.
Thus, the beast employed its previous tactic again. Thick dark clouds quickly gathered above Liu Guanfeng and the beast. Within those clouds, lightning crackled, and a cold smile that was hard to discern appeared on the beast's face.
Liu Guanfeng did not dare to hesitate and immediately activated his Chaos Shield. As his shield opened, Liu Guanfeng felt something different compared to before, though he couldn't pinpoint what exactly had changed.
At that moment, lightning struck down from the sky. This time, the density of the lightning was greater than before, with several bolts or even dozens striking down at once. Just as Liu Guanfeng tried to evade, one bolt of lightning accurately hit him.
As Liu Guanfeng braced for a numbing sensation, something delightful happened. He saw that when this bolt of lightning struck his Chaos Shield, it passed through as usual, but this time it was directly decomposed into Five Elements. Subsequently, these Five Element Energies were absorbed by the shield.
In this way, a bolt of lightning became nourishment for the shield upon impact.
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng finally understood why his shield felt different than before. Now that he had grasped the principle of lightning decomposition, his shield could automatically break down lightning. Inside his shield, he utilized elemental arrangements to generate lightning, with Electric Dragons continuously moving back and forth within the protective barrier.
The Electric Dragons formed within the shield attracted more and more lightning from the clouds above, constantly striking Liu Guanfeng's Chaos Shield. With these energy supplements, Liu Guanfeng's protection grew increasingly stronger.
At this moment, the previously smug beast was dumbfounded. It could not understand why the human, who had just been on the brink of defeat, had suddenly become so powerful. Its immunity to lightning was now comparable to that of its own.
Liu Guanfeng looked at the motionless beast outside and coldly smiled, "Let you taste your own lightning."
After saying this, more than thirty Lightning Dragons broke through Liu Guanfeng's shield and charged straight at the beast.
After unleashing this move, even Liu Guanfeng felt a bit confused. Why were these lightning bolts so obedient to him? Releasing lightning—wasn't that a form of magic? When he used Lightning Cage before, he had to make contact with his opponent, but now he was able to send out over thirty bolts of lightning to attack the enemy from a distance. Could it be that he had truly learned how to use magic?
While Liu Guanfeng was pondering this, all thirty bolts of lightning struck the beast. This beast was a type of Mutated Beast, naturally fond of lightning and possessing strong immunity to lightning attacks. However, everything has its limits; even its immunity had boundaries. For example, Little Black could cultivate using lightning, but if it absorbed too much, it could very well lose its life.
This beast was no exception. Although it could create a space within its body to store external lightning, there was still a capacity limit. It had never experienced being struck by over thirty bolts of lightning at once.
At first, the beast felt quite good about it; it thought the opponent must be foolish for knowing it liked lightning yet sending more for it to absorb. However, once all the lightning concentrated on it, it realized that its opponent was not as foolish as it seemed.
Then came a deafening roar; at that moment, the beast truly understood the terror of lightning. Lightning strikes quickly come and go; when they finally disappeared, the beast was left battered and on the verge of collapse.
Liu Guanfeng retracted Fang Tian Hua Ji and gripped his Twin Iron Halberds as he approached the beast. At that moment, he noticed a pleading look in the beast's eyes. Liu Guanfeng saw that the beast was charred all over from the lightning attack, with blood flowing profusely.
Liu Guanfeng took out a pill from his pocket and tossed it into the beast's mouth. "Eat this; your injuries will heal soon. You can't die yet; I still need you to help guard this fourth level."
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng strode toward the stairs. The beast consumed the medicine given by Liu Guanfeng and felt its injuries improve significantly. However, it did not attempt to stop Liu Guanfeng again because it knew that it was no longer a match for this human.
Liu Guanfeng ascended the stairs with his Twin Iron Halberds and arrived at the final level of the Demon Tomb. Upon reaching the top, he first saw a vast desert filled with several beasts. Their strength was slightly inferior, but since the Four Sacred Beasts had set up such a formidable fifth level, these beasts would definitely not be simple either. After steadying his mind, Liu Guanfeng began his search in this final level.
