------------------------
The darkness is different from the darkness emanating from the water fortress.
At this moment, before Xiao Wenbing's eyes, even heaven and earth seemed to have lost their color. It was as if only darkness remained in the chaos.
Xiao Wenbing was shocked, realizing he had fallen into a trap and was now trapped in a man-made barrier. However, this type of barrier was unprecedented, and he had no idea how to deal with it.
A yellow light suddenly flashed across his body, seemingly mixed with something else within the water-based fortress.
Among the Five Elements, in terms of defensive power, the central Earth element is the most superior. Since he didn't know exactly what kind of environment he was in, he naturally had to be cautious. Therefore, Xiao Wenbing made a decisive move and added an Earth element fortress inside the Water element fortress.
This was the first time he had ever donned two suits of armor at the same time, and he immediately felt much more at ease. No matter what attack methods the opponent had, it wouldn't be so easy for them to hurt him.
Then, Xiao Wenbing lowered his head, a faint golden light appearing in his eyes. Although he was in this strange barrier, the power of the divine spark was still clearly visible.
Outside the barrier, a thick cloud of smoke was beside Queenie, and it seemed that the two of them were exchanging their opinions.
Xiao Wenbing immediately understood that it was this cloud of smoke that was the culprit. Hmm, this guy's skills are indeed quite good. If anyone else had fallen into this barrier, they would definitely have been trapped in the fog and never been able to get out.
However, Xiao Wenbing observed his surroundings and noticed that three immortals hadn't arrived yet, perhaps tending to the injured demon experts. Fortunately, he had been shrewd and preemptively outmaneuvered them; otherwise, even a five-element fortress might not have been able to withstand such a simultaneous pursuit by so many experts.
The scenery before him began to change; the magical smoke barrier started moving towards the temple, but to his surprise, he felt nothing at all. If his divine essence hadn't clearly seen the smoke moving forward, he would have truly been completely oblivious.
Xiao Wenbing carefully examined the plume of smoke, trying to find its weakness.
Every living thing in the world, no matter what it is, even a god, has its weaknesses. Just like striking a snake at its vital point, if you can grasp the opponent's weakness, you can definitely defeat it in one fell swoop.
This cloud of smoke had a strange shape, and it was estimated that physical attacks would be difficult to harm it. However, Xiao Wenbing firmly believed that even the strangest monsters still had weaknesses.
“I saw it…” Xiao Wenbing murmured. The power of the divine essence had enabled him to find a glimmer of white light in the smoke.
Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly. Now that he had found its weakness, he would no longer be polite. However, this time, he was going to use his trump card.
He secretly took out the small golden talisman, intending to use its divine power to deliver a fatal blow. However, he was horrified to discover that he couldn't mobilize its energy, or rather, that the energy was repelling his body.
What's going on? Xiao Wenbing broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that he had lost the ability to use divine power?
His gaze shifted, and he noticed the two-elemental fortress on his body. He immediately realized that he was currently possessing a demon avatar. Although the consciousness of this avatar was his own, the physical body was not.
Lacking both extraordinary abilities and the natal golden talisman in his dantian, he naturally couldn't mobilize the energy within the small golden talisman. He gave a bitter laugh. He hadn't expected to be trapped by his own actions.
Should he release his physical body? Xiao Wenbing glanced at the two strange immortals before him and quickly dismissed the idea.
Heaven knows what other special abilities those two possessed.
Although the demonic avatar he possessed was powerful, he wouldn't be saddened if it were destroyed. But if his physical body was damaged when he emerged, he would be devastated.
What if this barrier contains something strange and completely destroys my physical body? What will I do then? Will I possess this external avatar?
The thought of this demonic incarnation sent a chill down his spine. To be bound to it for life was a thing a thousand times worse than death.
However, he was unwilling to let them leave like this, and Xiao Wenbing was certain that these two were unaware of his plans. If he didn't act now, it would be a real pity. He gave a cold smile; it seemed he would have to use his Dark Infant technique.
Quini looked at Xiao Wenbing, who was lost in a fog, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Shabir, you've come at the right time."
"What, haven't you caught him yet?" Shabir asked curiously. He had known Quini for many years and naturally knew his old friend's methods. Why would he go to such great lengths to deal with a cultivator?
“Yes, I’ve used the Nine Flavors True Fire.” Quini said with a wry smile.
"Ninefold True Fire? You're not planning to capture me alive?"
Bill was shocked. He knew all too well the power of this thing; even he himself would have to go to great lengths to get rid of it. So what about a cultivator? Faced with the Ninefold True Fire, wouldn't they only have the option of waiting to die?
“I do want to…” Quini smiled bitterly and sighed, “Of course I want to capture him alive, but his power is so mysterious and unpredictable that it makes me feel fear.”
The wisp of smoke seemed to suddenly stop writhing, a sight that terrified even immortals.
After a moment of billowing smoke, Shabir asked, "And the result?"
“The result…” Quini’s face grew even more bitter: “The Nine Flavors True Fire was extinguished.”
"Destroyed?" Shabir's voice also carried a faint bitterness. What kind of power could extinguish the Nine Flavors True Fire?
Quinn nodded, his voice filled with worry: "Yes, that's why I'm worried..."
What are you worried about?
"I'm worried about your barrier."
Shabir was taken aback, but he was full of confidence in his barrier and laughed, "Don't worry, no one can break my dark barrier."
"I hope so," Quini sighed deeply, "Until today, I always thought that the Nine Flavors of True Fire could not be extinguished."
Shabir trembled his misty body and was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to look in Xiao Wenbing's direction.
A glimmer of light, just a faint glimmer of light.
Within the dark barrier, a faint light appeared out of nowhere.
Shabir was shocked, but before he could react, the glimmer of light had already broken through the dark barrier.
Light travels so fast that no one can catch it with the naked eye, not even Shabir. So by the time he could see the light clearly, it was already right in front of him.
Just as the light was about to enter Shabir's body, a raging fire suddenly broke out around him.
Seemingly deeply wary of the raging fire, the light immediately abandoned its attack and swiftly retreated back to Xiao Wenbing. Almost simultaneously, the dark barrier trembled, and all the dark energy surged rapidly into Xiao Wenbing's hand. In a short while, he had absorbed every last drop of the energy that constituted the dark barrier.
Shabir's body suddenly shrank several times in size, moving closer to Quini.
Quinni's expression was solemn. He was equally shocked to see Xiao Wenbing break the dark barrier so easily.
Both his Nine Flavors True Fire and Shabir's Dark Barrier are advanced skills, extraordinary even in the Immortal Realm.
However, to their utter surprise, this great supernatural power that allowed them to traverse the immortal realm was completely broken by a mere cultivator.
Their gazes were fixed on Xiao Wenbing's hand, where there was a small bronze mirror, the surface of which even retained a trace of dark energy.
Quini and Shabir exchanged bewildered glances. They had never heard of such a magical artifact capable of absorbing dark power before; it was truly unprecedented. Moreover, what was that bright spot that had just broken through the dark barrier? Its speed was so great that even they had almost failed to react.
Xiao Wenbing chuckled as he put the Mirror God back into the Heavenly Void Ring.
Just now, although Dark Infant successfully broke through the barrier, he himself is still inside it. This barrier is indeed special. No matter how he moves, the barrier's energy follows him like a leech.
They had hoped that Dark Infant's sneak attack would extinguish the smoke, thus naturally dissolving the barrier. However, they hadn't expected Quini to react so quickly. Upon seeing a glimmer of light within the barrier, he immediately ignited the Nine Flavors True Fire.
This thing was incredibly powerful; even the Dark Infant dared not touch it lightly and had no choice but to flee quickly into the distance.
As long as the smoke didn't dissipate, Xiao Wenbing couldn't escape. Just when he was having a headache over this, the Mirror God volunteered, saying he had a way to deal with the dark barrier.
Overjoyed, Xiao Wenbing took out the Mirror God, and sure enough, the spirit of this artifact did not disappoint him. Just as Quini had swallowed the earth vein fire source as a nutrient, the Mirror God also absorbed the dark energy all at once.
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Wenbing coldly smiled at the two bewildered immortals in front of him: "What a dark barrier! Do you have any more? Give them all to me at once."
Seeing Quini's angry expression, Xiao Wenbing burst into laughter, but his laughter abruptly stopped a moment later, as three figures swiftly flew in from afar and arrived in front of them in an instant.
Upon seeing the five celestial beings lined up in front of him, Xiao Wenbing's smile froze on his lips, and he could no longer smile.
Volume 4, Chapter 310: Dark Infants Emerge Simultaneously
------------------------
Despite his immense arrogance, Xiao Wenbing still harbored a sense of fear when facing five immortals.
Therefore, upon seeing these five venerable ones gathered together, Xiao Wenbing's first thought was to leave, to get as far away as possible. He was not a madman; he would never attempt to fight five people at once.
His body trembled. Suddenly, a thick golden light emanated from Xiao Wenbing's body. Although he couldn't use the power of the small golden talisman, when he fully activated the power of his external avatar, the divine power contained within it naturally came out.
Quini and the others were knowledgeable and had dealt with the Dark God for countless years, so they naturally understood what this was. Upon seeing such "powerful" divine power emanating from Xiao Wenbing, the expressions of the three of them immediately turned serious.
Xiao Wenbing stared coldly at them, then suddenly gathered all his strength and roared, "Kill..."
Like a thunderbolt, it was breathtaking. This roar, accompanied by divine power, was truly awe-inspiring and earth-shattering. Even the five immortals were startled, especially Quini and Shabil, who had witnessed Xiao Wenbing's miraculous abilities. They were particularly apprehensive and on high alert.
However, Xiao Wenbing's next move was so bizarre that it was completely unpredictable.
He stood before the assembled immortals, his face contorted with murderous intent, exuding an imposing aura.
Then, she turned around...
The group of people were all taken aback, not understanding what Xiao Wenbing was going to do. Did he have some kind of unparalleled trick that required him to use his buttocks to perform?
However, in the next moment, Xiao Wenbing's body suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the barrier that enveloped the entire sacred mountain at an unimaginable speed.
"boom"
A tremendous impact resounded before the barrier, and Xiao Wenbing suddenly realized that when his divine power, gathered to its limit, struck the barrier, it was as if he had crashed into a soft wad of cotton. He couldn't muster any strength at all.
Within the cotton-like ground, there was a hidden, powerful rebounding energy. The divine judgment was extremely accurate; it immediately deduced that with such limited divine power, there was no way they could break through.
Xiao Wenbing acted decisively and retreated quickly. Just as he was hesitating about whether to take out the main body from the Heavenly Void Ring and try to activate the energy of the small golden talisman, he heard the unrestrained laughter in mid-air.
Looking up, he saw that Quini and the others all had strange expressions, and one of the immortals was laughing hysterically without any regard for his image. He was immediately furious. He thought that the little golden talisman was, after all, his last resort. Since these people couldn't do anything to him for now, he might as well hold off on using his trump card.
"This brat's trying to run away again. Hmph, if we let you escape again, what will become of our dignity?" one of the immortals said with a disdainful expression.
Quini nodded secretly. In fact, Xiao Wenbing had already used the same escape technique once under the sacred tree, and this time it was just a repeat of the same trick.
"Quinni, this kid actually dares to try to break through the barrier, it's hilarious." The immortal who had been laughing earlier gradually straightened up, still chuckling as he spoke.
( )
Their relaxed demeanor stemmed from their belief that victory was assured, given that Xiao Wenbing was alone.
The flames on Quini's face flickered slightly, as if he were also amused. He said loudly, "No need to waste your efforts. Once the barrier here is thickened, even the Dark God might not be able to break through. You come from the cultivation world, you must know how powerful the Dark God is."
Xiao Wenbing suddenly realized why the inner power of this barrier was many times greater than its outer power—its purpose was to trap the Dark God.
It makes sense. Since these top experts of the Flame Realm have gone through so much trouble to establish the Holy Temple, then looking across this realm, there is probably no power that would dare to oppose the Holy Temple, which is backed by immortals.
Given this, their elaborate setup of this barrier must have only one purpose.
However, they never imagined that the barrier would ultimately trap not the Dark God, but themselves, the cultivators who possessed the Dark Infant.
The flames on Quini's face gradually stopped leaping. His eyeless eyes stared intently at Xiao Wenbing as he slowly said, "Hand over the Qiankun Ring and refine the Omnipotent Pearl. You have one last chance."
Xiao Wenbing looked at them, smiled, and said, "We'll talk when you've managed to take me down."
