Chapter 825 - 768: Beaten into Submission!

"What the hell are you?"

The Fire Spirit, being suppressed on the ground, could only keep on shrieking.

This was too ridiculous.

The Wood Spirit’s deer face was almost deformed from being pressed to the ground by force.

Even the most miserable Earth Spirit didn’t dare to cry for help anymore; every time it asked for help, it got beaten even harder.

"If you have the guts, let me bring out my true form to fight."

The Fire Spirit fully embodied the phrase "a stubborn duck’s mouth," its duck bill quacking incessantly.

It felt it was at a disadvantage after all; their strength could only be best exerted in their true forms.

This strange spirit body was bullying them with this small advantage.

The Wood Spirit and Earth Spirit’s eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, if they could bring out their true forms, who would beat who was uncertain.

"The true form, huh? Think your true form can beat me, huh?"

The Artifact Spirit sneered repeatedly, then waved a small hand, spreading a world of Five Elements over ten miles, enveloping the entire sea area.

The three spirits closed their mouths simultaneously, staring in shock at the spirit body.

This was clearly Han Yu’s technique; they had seen this Five Elements World!

Damn it!

Is this really Han Yu’s spirit?

The Artifact Spirit stood there with an air of victory, tauntingly saying, "Do you still want to fight? Need to swap to your true form?"

The three spirits looked at each other, not wanting to fight anymore!

If this guy possessed all of Han Yu’s techniques, then no matter what they did, it would be useless.

The Artifact Spirit then smilingly approached the Earth Spirit, rubbing its fists and asked.

"So, can we talk about taking a piece of your true form now?"

The Earth Spirit kept blowing bubbles, and the Artifact Spirit frowned at the Fire Spirit, the hint quite obvious, albeit a bit absurd.

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t understand their communication; only the Fire Spirit had means for normal communication here.

The Fire Spirit understood but shrank back fearfully because it felt the Earth Spirit really wasn’t afraid of getting hit.

"It says no, cannot talk even a bit."

The Artifact Spirit’s face darkened immediately, ready to hit it again, speaking viciously.

"How do you think I’m asking for your opinion?"

"I’m telling you, even if you don’t agree, I’m still taking that broken bowl outside."

Even if the trial is in the Soul Realm, so what? Last time, the beings of the Soul Realm begged Han Yu, surely they wouldn’t watch him being spoiled by these bastards there, right?

The Earth Spirit wasn’t willing to get beaten anymore; as the Artifact Spirit was about to act again, it started blowing bubbles frantically.

"Wait, it has something to say."

The Fire Spirit suddenly spoke to stop it...

Outside the cabin, Han Yu and a group of people who had come upon hearing the news were looking at the suddenly appeared Five Elements World.

Han Yu shook his head helplessly, almost cursing the Artifact Spirit in his heart.

Why make such a big deal, moving even the Five Elements World from his Sea of Consciousness?

Moving it was one thing, but to go to such lengths just to beat the three spirit bodies?

The group from the Central Continent was looking towards Han Yu, ascertaining that he hadn’t made a move.

What’s going on over there?

Could there be another who could use Han Yu’s techniques?

Quan Xiaotong, seeing the situation getting slightly out of control, quickly urged everyone to retreat.

Only those in the know remained in the scene, even Qing Wan was reluctantly taken away.

"Did it do all this?"

After the people left, Xia Wuyou and the others quickly gathered, filled with amazement.

Even with high expectations for the Artifact Spirit, they hadn’t anticipated it could use techniques identical to Han Yu’s.

This thing was harder for Han Yu to explain, so he just ambiguously nodded.

He couldn’t very well say that the Artifact Spirit could share his Sea of Consciousness now, could he?

This matter was too bizarre and full of secrets; it was better for him to know it first.

Before long, the Five Elements World suddenly retracted, and as the cabin door opened, a fiery red duck waddled out, looking quite bedraggled.

It approached the ship’s side, raised its wing, and waved to Han Yu.

"The Earth Spirit has something to say."

It seemed the Artifact Spirit’s beating had worked!

Han Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, about to go over when Quan Xiaotong suddenly spoke.

"Can we come along too?"

Since they were already here, the few of them were curious to know what the Earth Spirit had to say. If it was willing to help Han Yu, then it would save Han Yu a trip.

Han Yu looked at the four of them; they were all aware of the Artifact Spirit’s existence, so it seemed there was nothing to hide, so he nodded silently and was the first to fly into the cabin.

When the five entered, they saw the Artifact Spirit sitting arrogantly on a half-destroyed chair.

The Earth and Wood Spirits obediently stood in line, even the Fire Spirit, returning, instinctively joined them.

"Impressive!"

Han Yu praised; it indeed takes a villain to deal with other villains.

Dealing with these odd spirit bodies required an even odder Artifact Spirit.

The Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but roll its eyes, spat, and said.

"Don’t celebrate just yet, there’s something."

Han Yu suddenly had a bad feeling, especially seeing the Artifact Spirit looking unsatisfied, it seemed the matter wasn’t small.

Sure enough, the Earth Spirit was spewing bubbles again.

The Fire Spirit voluntarily translated, and soon an explanation from the Earth Spirit began to emerge.

"I didn’t want to say anything, but you shouldn’t have beaten me like this."

"I’m an innately Earth-aligned spirit, an honest spirit; you shouldn’t treat an honest spirit this way."

Seeing the Earth Spirit continue complaining, the Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but glare menacingly, which finally made it change its tone.

"Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to help; as I’ve said, I’m an honest spirit. I want to help, but I can’t."

Help but can’t? Who ever heard of that?

The people exchanged confused glances until the Earth Spirit continued.

"Bring in my true form!"

No instructions were needed; upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou and Wang Ye immediately turned around and brought back the big bowl.

After placing it down, they continued to hear the Earth Spirit speak.

"This bowl cannot be destroyed..."

...

Overseas!

Bells suddenly echoed above the entire stone platform, melodious sounds emanating continuously from the four great halls, reverberating throughout the sea area.

Mu Zili and the old Taoist emerged with Su Xiaoxiao, looking surprised.

What is this sound, why does it feel like there’s a strange power?

The old Taoist and Mu Zili exchanged odd looks; such a power had never appeared in the Celestial Dao Sect.

Mu Zili had never seen it, and neither had the old Taoist.

Those attracted by the bell’s sound weren’t just the three of them, but a group of people from the Qionghua Hall.

Di Liuxin now had a smile on his face, for the second step could commence.

On the water’s surface, a beam of golden light was quickly moving toward them, its momentum silent yet giving an inexplicable peace.

Yet Mu Zili could clearly see a violent aura hidden beneath the peace.

What the hell is this?

He suspiciously looked at the old Taoist, wondering if he could see any clues.

However, the old Taoist merely had a fleeting look of surprise before his face became expressionless again.

Only Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help her curiosity, kept glancing until the golden light came closer, suddenly letting out a small gasp.

"It’s a person!"

Not only a person but a naked monk.

Not a monk!

For Mu Zili had recognized him, "It’s him!"

This was a junior cultivator who had been with his convenient disciple not long ago.

How did he appear here?
