Chapter 23: The Great Five Elements All Vanquished Array's Power

  Five swords continuously absorbed the pure sword intent between heaven and earth. When the five sword intents reached their peak, they suddenly converged inward, revealing the ancient bodies of the five colored swords. As the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array absorbed the enormous energy gathered from the five elements, the array slowly stopped rotating and fell into Ye Qing's hands.

  Ye Qing looked at the Big Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array in his hand, and was extremely satisfied with his own equipment refining ability. He had originally thought that he could refine a postnatal merit treasure-level Big Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array, which was already very good, but unexpectedly it exceeded his imagination.

  Ye Qing gazed at the five ancient swords, feeling the power of destruction and chaos within them. He inspected the quality of the five Five Elements Swords he had refined, discovering that each sword was equivalent to a top-grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, with power comparable to a top-grade Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Moreover, each sword was infinitely close to being a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, which meant they were also infinitely close to being a Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure.

  It was clear that the five swords refined by Ye Qing were extremely powerful. Each sword had thirty-nine seals equivalent to those of a top-grade Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure within them. Furthermore, Ye Qing discovered that his Five Elements Annihilation Great Array diagram had reached the level of a Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, with power comparable to having forty-two seals of a Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure.

  When combined into the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array, it would be equivalent to being infinitely close to a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure. Moreover, the suppressive aura of the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array was even stronger than the two Post-Heavenly Supreme Treasures created by Opening Heaven: the Heavenly Profound Yellow Linglong Pagoda and the Hongmeng Quantian Ruler.

  Looking at the acquired postnatal merit treasure, the Five Elements Extinguishing Sword Array, Ye Qing's heart was filled with pride. The power of his own Five Elements Extinguishing Sword Array was even stronger than the postnatal merit treasure, Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda and Hongmeng Quantian Ruler. What an achievement this is, how can one not be proud?

  Ye Qing touched the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array in his hand, and suddenly wanted to see what kind of power this array had reached. He threw the array diagram into the sky, and instantly a strong suction force was emitted from it. The five swords in Ye Qing's hand flew onto the array diagram with a whooshing sound, and the five swords instantly formed the Five Elements Annihilation Great Array according to the five directions of heaven and earth. When the great array was completed, the five swords and the array diagram suddenly disappeared without a trace. Ye Qing only felt that the five swords and the array diagram had formed a new space.

  When the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array was completed, a small bubble suddenly appeared outside the cosmic barrier of the Honghuang universe. This small bubble frantically absorbed the infinite void energy from outside the universe at the moment it appeared. The endless void energy was constantly being swallowed by the small bubble, which grew at a visible rate. When it grew to a certain extent, the speed at which the small bubble swallowed the energy in the infinite void slowed down significantly, and it took a very long time to absorb even a thread of void energy. This small bubble is the new space formed by the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array. Of course, Ye Qing does not know any of this now.

  But as soon as Ye Qing felt that the Taiwu Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array had formed a new space, Ye Qing, as the master of the Taiwu Five Elements Annihilation Sword Array, could easily come to this space. As soon as Ye Qing arrived here, he was stunned by everything that happened here. In sight was a gray and hazy space with only ten miles in diameter, but this space was rapidly expanding. This was not the effect of the formation, but a real expansion. Endless energy torrents were constantly pouring in from outside the formation space, continuously expanding the formation space.

  In Ye Qing's consciousness, he could easily feel that the array space was expanding at a rate of tens of thousands of miles per second. Moreover, Ye Qing discovered that the spatial barrier of this array space was also constantly strengthening with the influx of infinite energy. Soon, the array space expanded to an enormous size of billions and trillions of miles in diameter. When the space expanded to such a massive scale, its expansion speed became imperceptible to the naked eye, yet it continued to slowly expand.

  In this array space, the energy is abundant and even surpasses the current Honghuang universe. Ye Qing felt the mystery of this array space and discovered that with his thoughts, the energy in this space transformed into five sword auras of the Five Swords, which could even be combined into the Chaotic Sword Aura to attack enemies. If one enters this array space but cannot break through the spatial barrier, it is absolutely fatal.

  Ye Qing felt the spatial barrier of this space and found that with his own strength, a full-force strike could probably break through it without too much difficulty. The difficulty lay in dispelling this formation.

  This is still measured by Ye Qing's current cultivation level. If a strong person in the realm of sainthood were to preside over the Five Elements Annihilation Sword Formation, the space formed would be difficult for even saints to break through. Of course, killing a saint within this space would be impossible, but injuring one wouldn't be too difficult.

  When Ye Qing understood the power of this formation, he couldn't help but be amazed. However, Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to it, after all, what he valued was his own strength, relying on external forces wasn't a long-term solution, when one's own strength reached a certain level, all external powers could be destroyed with a wave of the hand. Just like Daozu Hongjun, once he reached a certain realm, those spiritual treasures and ultimate treasures became useless, in battle, even the Xiantian Spiritual Treasure couldn't withstand Daozu's blow and would shatter.

  Ye Qing created the Da Wu Xing Jue Xian Jian array, which was meant for the human tribe as a treasure to protect them. When Ye Qing arrived in this Hong Huang universe, he knew that the so-called "human tribe" being the spirit of all things and the natural master of heaven and earth was false. The Hong Huang universe relies on strength, if humans were truly the masters of heaven and earth, why could a small demon from this universe easily destroy the entire human tribe? Moreover, Ye Qing discovered that there is no such thing as the "Way of Heaven" in the Hong Huang universe, only the instinctual will of the universe. This will does not care about what you are, whether you are a demon, a witch, or a human, it treats all equally. Although the universe's instinctual will does not care about what you do, there are various laws and rules that govern this universe, these laws construct this universe and constrain its healthy development.

  So Ye Qing refined the Five Elements Extermination Sword Array to increase the strength of the human race. Although the humans in this universe and Ye Qing had no relation, Ye Qing once was a human being and on an emotional level, he couldn't bear not caring about the human race. If he didn't care about the human race, there would be a knot in his heart that would prevent him from reaching the peak. Therefore, Ye Qing refined the Five Elements Extermination Sword Array to resolve this knot in his heart and pave the way for his future cultivation.
