<h4>Chapter 1361: Chapter 1358: The Situation Turns Against Us</h4>


    Xu Wendong and Xue Long held their breath.


    The next moment.


    A bracelet flew out from behind Liang Xingyun, with only five beads, each emitting a different color corresponding to Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.


    From a distance, one could see grim faces on each of the five beads, resembling their original owners’ appearances.


    As soon as this item appeared, a surge of the Power of the Five Elements instantly erupted.


    The entire world seemed to twist, giving the impression that it could be obliterated at any moment.


    "To die under the Five Elements Head Bead is a great fortune for the both of you!" Liang Xingyun showed an evil smile, and the bracelet behind him flew into the sky.


    At the same time.


    The five beads disintegrated in mid-air, transforming into five dazzling light masses, like five scorching suns suspended high in the sky.


    These light masses emitted an eerie and enchanting glow, making the entire battlefield appear dreamlike and surreal.


    Amidst the light masses,plex array patterns were faintly visible, forming a massive and mysterious Five Elements Formation Diagram.


    Within this formation, Xu Wendong and Xue Long felt an invisible binding force, as if trapped tightly by an unseen.


    The surrounding air grew heavy, oppressing them and making it hard to breathe.


    "The void seems to be sealed!" Xue Long widened his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of gravity.


    He attempted to swing his fist, only to find his movements slow and heavy.


    Xu Wendong frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "This Power of the Five Elements is too strange, each element seems to be tainted by dark forces, bing twisted and evil."


    He fixed his gaze on the Five Elements Formation Diagram in the sky, trying to find a way to break it.


    At this moment, golden light flickered, like countless sharp swords dancing in the air, carrying a fierce killing intent.


    These golden lights were not only extremely sharp but also carried a soul-devouring dark attribute, as if they could pierce through one’s soul, leaving indelible wounds.


    The Wood Element transformed into countless ghostly tentacles, wildly dancing in the air, attempting to bind the enemy’s soul. These tentacles emitted a faint green light, chilling to the bone.


    The Water Element became thick and dark, like a silent, dead sea.


    Amidst the turbulent waves, faint cries and resentment of the dead could be heard, sending shivers down one’s spine.


    The mes were no longer a fiery red but turned ghostly blue and icy cold.


    They leapt in the air, like Nether Fires from Hell, continuously absorbing life force.


    The Earth Element transformed into a deste graveyard, with tombstones standing, each exuding a cursed aura.


    Being within it evoked endless oppression and fear, as if countless dead eyes were fixating on you.


    Liang Xingyun stood outside the formation, pinching the spell with both hands, a cruel and triumphant smile on his face.


    He seemed to revel in Xu Wendong and Xue Long’s struggle for survival within the Five Elements Formation Diagram.


    Liang Xingyun’s eyes revealed a crazed smile: "This treasure of mine was ritesmithed using the heads and souls of five Ninth-Level Scatter Immortals, how could you possibly resist it?"


    "You both can go die now!" With Liang Xingyun’smand, countless vibrant vines erupted from the jade-green bead.


    These vines were as tough and flexible as Divine Chains, wildly dancing in the air and sweeping towards Xu Wendong and Xue Long as fast as lightning.


    "Break it!" Xue Long threw a punch, shattering the void, blocking the wing vines.


    His strength seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth, yet even so, he still felt a powerful resistance.


    However, just as Xue Long blocked the vines, the Gold Element bead unleashed a terrifying golden light.


    The golden light transformed into frightful Sword Qi, as sharp and unstoppable as celestial objects, piercing straight towards Xu Wendong and Xue Long.


    This Sword Qi carried a soul-devouring dark attribute, chilling anyone to the bone.


    Xu Wendong’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly pinched the spell, attempting to use the power of the formation to resist these terrifying Sword Qi.


    However, these Sword Qi seemed capable of prating all defenses, aiming straight at their vital points.


    This raised a sense of crisis within him.


    This was undeniably the most tormenting battle of his life.


    After all, this wasn’t an ordinary Magic Artifact.


    But a Magical Treasure crafted from the heads of five Ninth-Level Scatter Immortals, with their souls also ritesmithed.


    Simply put, Xu Wendong and Xue Long weren’t facing just a Magical Treasure now.


    But five powerful Ninth-Level Scatter Immortals.


    Without thinking further, Xu Wendong punched forward.


    A terrifying Vital Energy surged from behind him, like a monstrous wave, with demon beasts of various forms within it.


    Boom!


    With Xu Wendong’s all-out strike, the void instantly shattered, nullifying the oing Sword Qi and giving Xu Wendong and Xue Long a chance to breathe.


    But at this moment.


    New challenges followed closely, as the Water Element bead, the Fire Element bead, and the Earth Element beadunched fierce attacks in session.


    The Water Element took the lead, transforming into a deep and icy torrent, sweeping in with a biting chill.


    This torrent was not only ice-cold but also contained a dark corrosive power that seemed destined to devour everything.


    Xu Wendong and Xue Long quickly reacted, leaping to dodge, but the torrent’s edge lightly brushed against them. A chilling cold struck through their bodies, causing them to shiver involuntarily.


    It should be noted that both Xu Wendong and Xue Long were body refining experts in the Cultivation World, their physical bodies already immune to the seasons.


    Yet now the cold could infiltrate their bodies—how could one not feel shocked?


    Soon after, the Fire Element appeared in a more aggressive manner before the two.


    zing mes descended from the sky like a Giant Dragon, carrying a heat that threatened to destroy everything.


    These mes shimmered with a ghostly blue hue, distinctly different from the usual red mes, as if they were Netherworld mes from the dark realm, burning both substance and soul.


    Xu Wendong and Xue Long felt the ambient temperature rise sharply around them. They had to muster all their Mana, forming a protective shield to fend off the scorching fire tongues.


    Yet the intense heat contrasted starkly with the prior chilling cold, making the two feel ufortable as if their bodies were beginning to fracture.


    However, while they were fully defending against the water and fire, the Earth Element alsounched an attack.


    Countless thick arms stretched out from the seabed, reaching for their bodies.


    Being hit would mean unimaginable consequences.


    "This isn’t a solution!" Xue Long panted heavily, looking up at the five differently colored beads, more like five suns than beads.


    Xu Wendong also said, "Right, we must break one of the beads. If we can do that, the barrier will naturally copse on its own!"


    Xue Long opened his right hand, and a dark red longsword appeared within it. Then he sunk his Qi into the Dantian, infusing his abundant True Qi into it.


    And then, he swung the sword forward!
