Chapter 1706: Tri-elemental fusion

Fierce gales howled around the periphery of the city.

Many of the Gu clansmen and attendants within its borders sensed the disturbance, and without exception, they set down their tasks and gathered by the city gates.

There was no trace of solemnity in their eyes; they were just here for the spectacle.

Provoking the Gu Family?

That wasnt even in the realm of possibility!

In the past tens of millions of years, no one whod even tried to cause trouble here made it back out. These Gu clansmen just wanted to see who would be so blind and foolish as to act out at Gu Citys gates.

Miss! The people rus.h.i.+ng to the gates saw Gu Luolin by Lan Tus side, and countless servants hurriedly gathered around her, like stars cl.u.s.tering around the moon.

Young Miss, youre finally back! The attendant grimaced. During Gu Luolins absence, hed practically gone mad with worry.

Theyd practically turned the Gu Familys dimension upside down. The two female attendants at Gu Luolins side were so relieved to see her alive and intact, they burst into tears.

Theyd really been living in constant terror during her absence.

The apple of the family heads eye, his treasure, had gone missing. As her two attendants, they couldnt escape responsibility for this.

If anything had happened to her.

The servant girls hugged Gu Luolin and wept. Gu Luolin looked exasperated, and she had little choice but to pat them on the shoulders, like an adult comforting a child. This was despite the fact that both of them were much older than her.

Sir Lan Tu. Several other clansmen went to greet Lan Tu, who merely nodded in response. His gaze was fixed on Ye Zichen, who was currently unleas.h.i.+ng the power of the five elements.

Sir, whered this guy come from? Should we go teach him a lesson?

You sure thats a good idea? A smile flashed across Lan Tus face. This is a guest the head of the family invited here personally. Hes here unleas.h.i.+ng the power of his dao, but the family head himself told me not to intervene. If you really find the sight of him so displeasing, though, youre welcome to go test him out.

He was here at the family heads behest?

The Gu Family members drooped, their anger fading. How many people in the Upper Three Realms, including the liches, could become the Gu Familys VIP guests? How many people did the family head invite here?

Almost none.

But this youth unleas.h.i.+ng his dao outside their city gates was one of them. They were only envoys, and they had no deep family connections here. Even if they ate bear hearts of leopard gallbladders to bolster their courage, they wouldnt have the guts to interact with such a young master.

And besides, since he hadnt come here to act out, they didnt have to. Both the Gu clansmen and the envoys just stood by the gateway and watched.

Of course, they couldnt help but be curious, too. In the past, their guests had come at various administrators behest, and theyd never seen someone pull out their weapons and open hostilities before even making it through the city gates.

Young Miss, that young man Gu Luolins attendants were curious about Ye Zichen too.

Gu Luolin giggled in response. Thats my nephew.

Your nephew?

The servant girls froze, stunned. Gu Luolin was the youngest member of the Gu Family. Her nephew

Could this be the Lord of Seven Stars heir?

Quite a few of those gathered by the gates felt their hearts clench. They inwardly rejoiced that they hadnt gone up to seek trouble with him. Unless something unexpected happened, this young master would soon become part of the Gu Familys main branch.

The Gu clansmen and servants were surprised, again and again, but Ye Zichen knew nothing of this.

He was completely focused on how to destroy the signboard.

Heavenly Flames!

A wave of heat suddenly descended from the skies, and those gathered by the city gates felt the temperature shoot up. The entire area felt like a furnace, and steam rose from the ground and into the skies.

Everyone around felt their faces and bodies drop with sweat.

As they wiped it away, they looked up and saw a searing fireball, although they werent sure when it got there.

The fireballs interior was reddish purple, while the rest of the flame was eerie white throughout. As the fierce winds howled, they not only didnt extinguish the flames; on the contrary, the more the winds howled, the more the flames flourished.

This youth has comprehended the Dao of the Five Elements! The people outside the city picked this up immediately.

Ever since the Five Elements Great Emperor fell and destroyed the Dao Heart of the Five Elements, it was rare for anyone to glean enlightenment into this dao. Even in the Gu Family, those who cultivated it were few and far between. Most of them only comprehended one or two of the five. Take Gu Luolin: shed comprehended wind, just one of the five.

People like Ye Zichen, whod gleaned enlightenment into the Grand Dao of the Five Elements as a whole, and whose comprehension was so profound.

It seemed there was no one like that in the Gu Family!

Whats he trying to do?

The searing flames were already so intense, the people gathered by the gates found the pain difficult to endure. But despite this, the fireball stubbornly refused to descend. The winds were still fanning and growing it, making it fiercer and more turbulent.

Fuse for me!

Eyes bloodshot, Ye Zichens veins bulged. He raised his right arm into the air and clenched his fists.

The ambient elemental essences of wind and flame seemed to heed his call, gathering endlessly within the tornado and fireball. But that wasnt all; these two starkly different energies even showed signs of fusing with each other.

Gradually, the turbulent winds fused into the fireball, becoming one ent.i.ty.

On the fireballs surface, a layer of flowing wind was clearly discernible.

Did he just fuse two elements together?

How is that possible? Each of the five elements exists independently. How could anyone possibly fuse them?

Isnt this youths comprehension of the Grand Dao of the Five Elements a bit

too

monstrous?

The Grand Dao of the Five Elements? Surely youre exaggerating! Hes just got a deeper understanding of wind and fire than most people, thats all. But its possible that his understanding of those two elements has already reached the level of the Five Elements Great Emperor.

The Five Elements Great Emperor? Isnt that a wild exaggeration? The Gu Family members by the gate discussed the matter among themselves, but to their surprise, thunder suddenly rumbled overhead.

The sound was deafening, the rumbling containing an air of authority that instilled witnesses with awe and reverence. But what was even more surprising was.

He wants to add thunder to the mix too! This time, even Lan Tu stared in wide-eyed shock. When hed just fused fire and wind, there were already people arguing his enlightenment was comparable to the Five Elements Great Emperors, but Lan Tu had sneered at this.

The Five Elements Great Emperor got his imperial t.i.tle from the Five Elements, and his mastery of them was unprecedented and unparalleled. If not, after his death, he couldnt have single handedly destroyed the Grand Dao of the Five Elements' dao heart, eternally separating it from all those who cultivated the five elements.

Ye Zichens reveal of the power of the five elements was indeed shocking, but it wasnt at all comparable to the Five Elements Great Emperor.

But right before their very eyes.

Three elements had fused!

He really was a monster!

As the crowd watched in astonishment, Ye Zichen stared intently at the fireball infused with fierce winds and thunder.

Actually, fusing three elements like this was a sudden act of whimsy. Hed tried fusing two elements before, but this was his first time trying three.

As for the final result, or how much power such an attack could release, he had no idea.

But he had a certain sense that. If he fused three elements together, the sign was sure to break!
