Chapter 498 - 490: Four Attributes Fusion, Chaos Fury 2

As expected, the very moment the ice and fire finished merging, a purple light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes. He let out a low shout, "Thunder Power, fuse!"

CRACKLE! SIZZLE! The Thunder Serpent, long since grown restless, seemed to have been provoked. After zipping madly back and forth in the air hundreds of times, it plunged headfirst into the sphere of fused ice and fire. Guided and induced by the circulation of the Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique within Mu Chen's body, the violet-gold lightning rapidly merged with the sphere. Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky. The Three-Attribute Fusion had triggered a celestial phenomenon!

At the same time, the sphere of entwined ice and fire underwent a massive change with the addition of Thunder Power. The once red-and-blue sphere was now covered with countless crisscrossing purple patterns.

On the outside of these patterns, Ice Breath, Fire Flame, and Thunder—three condensed natural phenomena—were erupting wildly. Flames spewed forth, icy mist swirled, and lightning arced freely. It was a magnificent sight. The biggest change, however, was that the sphere's diameter had more than doubled! A heaven-burning, world-ending aura instantly burst forth from this Three-Attribute sphere!

'Damn it! This power might exceed Shan Tianyu's limits! What in the world is that?!' Wang Miaoling gasped, preparing to rush into the sky and stop Mu Chen's fusion from continuing. The instantaneous contrast was too immense; it had gone from innocuous to apocalyptic with the addition of a single Elemental Power!

But just as Wang Miaoling was about to move, a voice entered her ears, stopping her in her tracks. Even so, nothing could quell the shock and fear in her heart.

'The fusion of Three Attributes... It's unprecedented! Unprecedented! Truly unprecedented!'

Her mind was a chaotic mess. Wang Miaoling knew that today, she was about to witness a self-created Combat Skill never before seen on the entire Extreme Martial Continent—a Combat Skill that absolutely no one else could possibly perform. 'And this Three-Attribute Fusion isn't even complete! Don't forget, there's still Wood Attribute Elemental Power surrounding Mu Chen! I'm absolutely certain that's not just for show!'

"Spirit Wood Power! Fuse!"

With a sudden, furious roar, Mu Chen mobilized his Elemental Power to its absolute limit. A pressure that surpassed the Venerable Realm crashed down, causing everyone present to let out a stifled grunt and subconsciously release their own Elemental Power in defense.

Shan Tianyu was already deathly pale, his expression completely dazed. If anyone were to look at him from behind, they would surely see the sweat stains soaking through his clothes. To his senses, Mu Chen's Combat Skill had already completely surpassed his limits. 'No! Even if my current Martial Artist Realm were several tiers higher, I still wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack!'

'I absolutely cannot let it finish forming!'

This was Shan Tianyu's only thought. But thoughts were one thing, and reality was another. Mu Chen was the closest to him, and the pressure generated by the Destructive Power was locked entirely onto him. The mere aftershock of that pressure had already forced the crowd below to release their own Elemental Power. So what of the person bearing the full brunt of it? The answer: he was completely immobilized!

A green energy, filled with a Life Aura and a gentle, harmonizing quality, rushed toward the two-fist-wide sphere in the air. It naturally formed into two intersecting, ring-like bands that wrapped around the sphere, rotating rapidly. With its addition, the once-rampaging sphere strangely fell silent. The oppressive pressure that had been bearing down on everyone just moments ago vanished into thin air.

Shan Tianyu felt the pressure on his body suddenly lift. He cast aside all other thoughts. With a ripple in space, his figure instantly appeared beside Mu Chen. But before he could make a move, he discovered his body was being pushed back a full hundred meters by an invisible and irresistible force!

'What's happening?'

"Did you really think you could get close to me? Still thinking of attacking?"

Pointing a finger at the Elemental Energy Ball in the air, Mu Chen's face was a mask of indifference. After fusing the Four Attributes, he looked at Shan Tianyu with eyes glinting with utter disdain, as if he were looking at a mere ant.

"That look!!" Shan Tianyu's expression twisted into a savage snarl. "What right do you have to look at me like that?! You ant! You piece of trash!"

"Hah... Red Lotus Ice Technique, shatter!"

TINK! PING! CRACK! Seven loud, crisp shattering sounds echoed from behind Mu Chen. The seven giant Ice Crystal Petals instantly shattered into countless shards of ice that soared into the sky. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, they completely submerged into the Elemental Energy Ball of the Four-Attribute Fusion.

A sevenfold amplification!

The Elemental Energy Ball's size changed in an instant. Originally only the width of two fists, its diameter suddenly expanded to over a meter. The immense pressure returned, and upon seeing this, the pale-faced Shan Tianyu finally did something that left everyone completely dumbfounded.

He fled! Shan Tianyu, the man who seemed so impossibly arrogant to everyone, had actually fled! He was running for his life!

But could he really escape?

"Of course you can't! Chaos Fury!"

WHOOSH!

With a wave of his arm, the massive Four-Attribute sphere shot after Shan Tianyu, moving at a speed that seemed to transcend space and time. At this rate, the outcome was obvious.

"That brat Mu Chen is insane!"

Zhu Jiuqian's expression changed drastically. Others might not have been able to sense it, but the four of them felt it with absolute clarity. If that Four-Attribute Fusion sphere hit Shan Tianyu, not only would he be blown to smithereens, but the very spatial stability of the Inner Holy Tomb Mountain would be shattered!

"This Four Attributes Fusion Battle Skill has completely surpassed the limits of the Venerable Realm! Dilaka, stop it, now! I'll go save Tianyu!" Shan Qiuhen was even more frantic than Zhu Jiuqian. His figure flickered and vanished from sight.

"Right away!" Dilaka was already stunned. He knew the moment Mu Chen created the Four-Attribute Combat Skill that its power likely surpassed Shan Tianyu's limits. Even so, he hadn't thought it would cause any significant damage to the Inner Mountain space.

What he never expected was for that brat Mu Chen to use a Secret Technique to instantly amplify the Combat Skill sevenfold! 'Sevenfold! The base version already surpassed the limits of a Three-Ring Martial Venerable! Just how strong is it now?! If we don't stop it, this kid is going to completely destroy the Inner Mountain space!'

"This is trouble!" Master Ling's brow furrowed as he dove downward. Dilaka was just as fast; after a moment of shock, he immediately plunged down as well. His fingers traced profound patterns in the air, mirroring the celestial phenomenon above. The colossal Golden Sword that had once saved Long Xiaotian's life during the Empire's tournament descended once more! This time, however, it appeared much faster.

In a single instant, the entire blade emerged from a rift in the sky, hanging there, dazzlingly brilliant. But its brilliance was secondary. The crucial part was its sheer size. The Golden Sword was over ten thousand meters long and several thousand meters wide. The moment it appeared, it captured everyone's attention.

"That's Teacher Dilaka's Sword Intent!"

Wang Miaoling gasped at the sight of the giant Golden Sword tearing through space, her gaze immediately snapping to its trajectory. Wasn't it headed straight for the point of impact between Shan Tianyu and Mu Chen's Four Attributes Fusion Battle Skill?

Just as the Four Attributes Fusion Battle Skill was about to overtake Shan Tianyu, a gale-force wind swept through. Shan Tianyu's figure vanished, and in his place stood a massive, invisible wall of wind.

The wall of wind, at first a flat surface, inexplicably transformed into a pocket-like shape. Just as Dilaka's giant Golden Sword was about to strike the fused Four Attribute Elemental Power attack, the wind pocket moved first, enveloping the sphere.

Before the sphere could react, an Azure Celestial Cauldron the size of a house appeared out of thin air. It sucked in the wind pocket and the sphere of Four Attribute Elemental Power all at once.

Everything happened in a single instant. And in the once-empty sky, four new figures had appeared.

"It's... the four Elders!"

"Grandfather!"

Finding himself in Shan Qiuhen's grasp, Shan Tianyu felt a wave of joyful surprise wash over his terror, and he couldn't help but cry out.

But he was met with Shan Qiuhen's cold words. "Be quiet. I'll have a nice long 'talk' with you after I'm done handling this."

After speaking, Shan Qiuhen's gaze focused with extreme caution on the giant cauldron floating in the air. Shan Tianyu froze. 'This matter?' he thought. 'Isn't it already taken care of? Hasn't that Four Attributes Fusion Battle Skill been contained?' But he definitely wouldn't dare say that out loud. Judging from Shan Qiuhen's tone, he was about to get a serious lecture.

"Hey? What are you all doing? I thought you said I was supposed to stop it?" Dilaka said, retracting his colossal Sword Intent with a look of utter bewilderment.

Shan Qiuhen snorted. "You call that stopping it? Looks to me like you were just making things worse!"

"..."

Zhu Jiuqian rolled his eyes. "Seriously. Trying to block it with the Sword Intent from your Supreme Sword Dao? Were you trying to make it explode right here on the first level?"

"..."

"Enough talk. Old Zhu, is your Jun Tian ready? That thing is about to burst!" Master Ling asked, turning his head as he stretched out his arms to steady the violently trembling cauldron.

Hearing this, Zhu Jiuqian raised the crimson gourd in his hand and grinned. "Don't worry, it's ready."

"Good. I'm releasing it. Get ready to catch."

"Right!"

With that, Zhu Jiuqian's normally jovial expression vanished, replaced by a tyrannical and wild look no one had ever seen on him before. He formed a finger seal, and a dense Barbaric Aura erupted from his body. Zhu Jiuqian, who was already massive, shuddered, and the gourd he usually wore at his waist suddenly expanded by thousands of times. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jiuqian's crimson gourd had dwarfed Master Ling's Azure Celestial Cauldron.

"Let's begin!"

A thunderous voice boomed from Zhu Jiuqian's mouth. Master Ling nodded slightly. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he abruptly released his grip on the Azure Celestial Cauldron. The instant he let go, a monstrous, four-colored Elemental Power Cannon shot out from the cauldron, blasting straight toward the base of the second level!

Faced with such a terrifying force, it was no exaggeration to say that if it made contact with the second level, it would undoubtedly flip the entire thing over.

Just as the four-colored Elemental Power Cannon was about to strike the base of the second level, Zhu Jiuqian's finger seal solidified. He boomed, "Secret Technique! Heaven-Devouring!"
