Out of concern for Qin Hao's safety, Eastern Sky ordered Zhang Yu to lend a helping hand. Unexpectedly, Jade Light's chief disciple, Yi Zui, blocked Qin Hao's escape.
Yi Zui did nothing wrong by following the palace's rules.
But he didn't expect that Eastern Sky would set up a life-and-death battle with him because of Qin Hao.
Both of them had extraordinary cultivation. They were the chief disciples of their respective peaks and the future successors of the Peak Venerables. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Divine Palace's inheritance. Once they stepped onto the divine altar for a battle, only one of them could walk out alive.
At this time, Qin Hao followed the direction of the falling flag. Like a burning sun, he fell into the Illusory Palace's forbidden land.
He naturally didn't know that Eastern Sky had set up a battle for him.
At this moment, he was trapped in the Prison Wind Stream. Everything in sight was incomparably dark. There was no movement. Time and space seemed to be still. There was no sound in the silent world. It was as if a bottomless abyss had swallowed the blazing sun that he had turned into.
Qin Hao stretched his hand forward and grasped the flagpole with force. He felt a burst of joy in his heart.
"In this way, I can make a wish to the seven Peak Venerables. After the trial, I will temporarily leave the Divine Palace for a year."
To leave the Divine Palace, he first needed to solve the problem of Lin Feng's body, destroy the Southern Proud Xuanyuan Clan, and take back the Qiankun Fortune Soil.
Then, he would return to the Northern Frontier with everyone.
No matter how the situation in the Northern Frontier developed, he was confident that he could handle it well.
Nodding gently, Qin Hao happily accepted the flag and prepared to return to the surface.
But at this moment, a great danger suddenly appeared around him. A cold aura attacked and soaked his body.
Qin Hao discovered that the Yuan Qi and soul power that enveloped his body had dissipated at some unknown point in time. The palace flag in his hand could not be absorbed into the spatial ring according to his will. His connection with the spatial ring seemed to have been completely cut off by an enormous external force.
"What's going on?"
Qin Hao frowned. Trapped in a pitch-black space, the cold aura around him was getting thicker and thicker. This made him realize that it was no small matter.
No one had set up a restriction here. There was no array.
However, the environment itself had a kind of strong erasing power, erasing his Origin Qi and Soul Power. Not only could he not use his Spatial Ring, he could not even sense his Origin Spirit.
He was unable to move. There were no obvious energy fluctuations in the surroundings, but his body felt as if it had been bound, unable to exert any strength.
At this moment, Qin Hao felt as if his body was suspended in a starry sky. There was no light in this still starry sky, only darkness.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as sinking into the mud.
The only difference was that once he fell into the quagmire, he would be immobilized. However, Qin Hao could feel that his body was moving with the waves, slowly drifting away. He did not know where he was drifting to.
This was extremely terrifying!
Being in an unknown space, the darkness before him swallowed everything. He was unable to use his strength and could only drift along with the flow. During this process, his life was slowly being eaten away by time. He grew old and slowly died. This was simply more torturous to his mind than killing him.
One had to know that Qin Hao could not afford to waste any time. He still had many important matters to deal with.
Moreover, there was still a fierce battle on the ground. Changhe Lo was still alive. How could he be trapped here?
"Calm down."
Qin Hao took a deep breath. The Red Lotus Soul Fire and the Ancient Dragon Soul were both top ranked powers. If they could be erased by this place, it proved that there was also an extremely strong foreign force in the dark space. This foreign force was strong enough to compete with the Red Lotus Overlord Fire.
Buzz!
At this moment, there was a trembling sound of a sword. In the quiet environment, the sound was exceptionally clear.
At the same time, Qin Hao immediately received a message from the spirit of the Divine Artifact. His expression changed drastically and his heart trembled violently.
"The Apocalyptic Wind, the invisible foreign force in the cave, is actually one of the nine elements of the God-slaying Array, the Apocalyptic Wind, this …" The surprise came too quickly and caught him off guard. He was somewhat unable to adapt to it.
Qin Hao's previous life had died in the Nine Heavens God-slaying Array. That terrifying array was known as the strongest array in the mortal world. Its power could kill a Divine Level Expert. He had personally experienced it. The terrifying scene of being trapped in the array was imprinted in the depths of his soul. Every time he recalled it, it was as if he had entered the same realm.
After his rebirth, Qin Hao had been collecting the nine elements of the God-slaying Array. Currently, he had obtained the Red Lotus Fire, Tranquil Water, and Light of Judgment.
He had refined the Red Lotus Fire and Tranquil Water into his own soul.
As for the Light of Judgment, he had given it to Mu Yuwei and turned it into Vivian's soul power.
The fourth elemental message was from Xuanyuan Wuhuang when he was in the Scarlet Flames Academy. It turned out that the Xuanyuan Family of the Southern Region had controlled the Qiankun Soil.
Now, the Qiankun Soil had not been obtained. When he came to the Divine Palace, Qin Hao encountered the Apocalyptic Wind in advance. Moreover, he encountered it in the Illusory Palace opened by the seven Peak Masters.
How could he not be surprised?
"I was wondering how the Red Lotus Fire could be wiped out, and no one recognized that it was the power of the Apocalyptic Wind. No wonder!"
Qin Hao sighed. He was concerned about the palace flag and did not recognize it as one of the nine elements at first glance. Moreover, there was only the wind element here and no wind form.
The Apocalyptic Wind was actually split into two.
The Apocalyptic Wind that had lost its wind form no longer had the initiative to attack. It could only be like a pool of stagnant water, silently trapped in the cave.
This was really, should he rejoice or be depressed?
He encountered the Apocalyptic Wind, but it was not a complete Apocalyptic Wind.
Moreover, how did it get into the Illusory Palace?
Qin Hao did not have time to think too much. No matter what, even if it had lost its wind form, the Apocalyptic Wind was still terrifyingly powerful. Since it had taken the initiative to come to him, how could he not accept it?
Perhaps even Changhe Lo did not expect that his casual throw would lead Qin Hao into the wind element of the Apocalyptic Wind.
"But, how should I collect the wind element?"
This was a huge problem!
The Apocalyptic Wind had been trapped here for many years and had devoured countless living beings in the Illusory Palace, causing the cave to be filled with a large amount of death and resentment.
Moreover, it had lost its wind form and could not move. To the Apocalyptic Wind that liked to rampage, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow and caused its resentment to deepen.
Everything had a spirit, and the most magical power of the nine elements in the mortal world naturally had more spirituality.
"Back then, I successfully collected the Red Lotus Fire because its fire element had been weakened. I first stored it in the Great Void Cauldron.
Later, I entered the blood pool at the bottom of the Broken Dragon Cliff and the old senior who left behind the essence of the Godfiend used his vast divine power to help me refine the Red Lotus Fire into my Primordial Spirit. "
Qin Hao recalled.
Because he had refined the Red Lotus Fire first, the senior had transformed it into the All Spirits Divine Body. When he met Vivian, it took him a few months before he used the power of the divine artifact to devour the Tranquil Water.
It was the same for Vivian when she merged with the Light of Judgment. Qin Hao used the divine artifact to help her refine it slowly. It took her a full year and during the Imperial Martial Competition, Vivian finally woke up and successfully refined it.
It was one of the nine elements and it was extremely difficult to refine each of them!
The Apocalyptic Wind had devoured countless living beings in the Illusory Palace and was filled with resentment. It was trapped here and had lost its wind form, making it even more difficult to collect it.
It was already difficult to collect it normally, but it was obviously impossible to make it obedient in such a short time!
"Artifact Spirit, can you suppress it with the power of the Enduring Samsara Technique?"
Qin Hao closed his eyes and communicated with the Great Void Divine Sword.
Buzz!
The sword vibrated and gave Qin Hao a cold answer. No!
To use the Enduring Samsara Technique, Qin Hao needed to control the divine artifact and resonate with it.
Now that he was trapped in the Apocalyptic Wind, his Primordial Qi and soul power had been erased and he could not use them, how could he resonate with the divine artifact?
"Then I can't be trapped in the wind element and wait for my death."
Qin Hao shouted.
The sword vibrated and did not give any response. It was better to leave the problem to Qin Hao himself!
"I …" Qin Hao was a little anxious and struggled hard, but his legs and hands seemed to be firmly bound by ropes and he could not move at all. His entire body seemed to have been hollowed out.
Perhaps he should try to communicate with the wind element.
"Apocalyptic Wind, disperse your power and let me out. I promise you that I will help you find your wind form in the future and let you return to your original form."
Qin Hao took a deep breath and shouted into the dark and endless space.
The space was silent and the power that bound him did not dissipate.
"Please believe me. The Red Lotus Fire and Tranquil Water are both here. They have been playing with me for all these years and you will be the same in the future.
Come, don't resist, don't reject, just throw yourself into my arms. "
Qin Hao said.
Roar!
Within this silent space, it was as if the furious howl of a violent wind had suddenly resounded out, and a formidable sound wave swept through Qin Hao's Divine Sense, shaking him to the point his ears rumbled, and he felt a wave of dizziness.
On the surface, the surroundings were still silent, but this telekinesis clearly showed that the wind element did not believe Qin Hao's words.
"Don't force me. When I go crazy, everyone will be afraid. Do you think I can't deal with you just because I can't use Yuan Qi?"
Qin Hao also angrily roared.
He still had the blood essence of a Fiendgod. Once his blood essence was awakened, his strength would be at the peak of the mortal world. The Red Lotus Tyrannical Flame was refined into a source spirit by him.
Peng!
With a collision sound, Qin Hao, who was quietly floating in the air, rubbed his head against something hard. Although it was not too heavy, it was undoubtedly a declaration that the wind element was defending its sovereignty.
"Let's talk nicely …" Peng!
"Don't go too far."
Peng!
"I have the blood essence of a Fiendgod."
Peng!
"Awaken the blood essence!"
Peng!
Peng!
Peng! Peng! Peng! A string of collisions sounded out. Even though it wasn't too dense, the sound didn't stop.
This caused Qin Hao to be truly powerless. Could it be that he really had to float in the air for the rest of his life and allow the wind element to drive his body to collide with rocks every day to refine an iron head technique?
"You're really useless."
Right at this anxious moment, the clear voice of a woman sounded out. After that, an expanse of platinum light descended from the sky in the pitch black space. She wore the green clothes of the Mantis Hall and slowly descended by Qin Hao's side, and she used an exquisite and flawless face to silently look at him.
It was precisely the Megrez Peak's Myōri.
"Senior Sister Myōri!"
Qin Hao was astonished for a moment, then he was overjoyed.
"You're only at the sixth level of the Emperor Realm, yet you dream of enslaving the wind element. You deserve to hit your head."
Myōri spoke in a cold and indifferent voice.
"Aiya, let's not talk about this for now. Senior Sister, save me. They're fighting above, send me out first."
Qin Hao begged bitterly.
As the third disciple of the Megrez Peak and the disciple of True Lord Megrez, Myōri was at the Nine Star Great Emperor Realm. Eastern Sky and Chang Yu had both stepped into the fourth level of the Emperor Realm, so Myōri's ability naturally wouldn't be lacking.
Even though the nine elements were powerful, only one element was placed in front of them. Without the Nine Heavens' God's Punishment Formation, it couldn't threaten Myōri at all.
Moreover, the wind element lacked the wind element, so it wasn't complete at all.
Myōri was fully capable of coming and going freely in this underground cave.
"If you weren't a disciple of the Megrez Peak in name, I wouldn't care if you lived or died."
Myōri spoke and glanced at Qin Hao. She raised her jade hand and grabbed Qin Hao's arm. In an instant, a vast platinum radiance wrapped around her body and enveloped Qin Hao. The two of them were about to take to the air.
At this moment, a dull sound echoed from the underground cave, like the hoarse cries of evil spirits. It seemed to want to stop them, but it was useless in front of Myōri's formidable strength.
"Wait."
Qin Hao called out. "Senior Sister, since you're here, why don't you help me collect the wind element of the wind element as well?"
Myōri was stunned and glared at Qin Hao. She laughed in anger. "Since you know this is the wind element of the wind element, why do you have to embarrass me?"
Even as a great emperor, Myōri couldn't collect the most primitive power of the world.
It wasn't that she couldn't, but that she didn't have a treasure to store it.
"Look here."
Qin Hao's eyes moved, and he glanced at the Great Void Sword in his left hand. "You can use it to collect the wind element. Senior Sister can refine it into it."
"A sword?"
Myōri stared at the Great Void Sword and looked at it seriously. She asked with an uncertain tone, "Are you serious?"
Containing the wind element was not a joke.
"Yes, refine it into the sword. I beg you."
Qin Hao replied seriously.
Myōri didn't say anything else. She waved her hand and grabbed at a certain pitch-black location. Immediately, an incomparably vast platinum radiance raged and filled the entire space, illuminating countless withered bones and rotting corpses. There were beast bones that were hundreds of feet tall, remains that were as small as mice, and even more human bones.
At this moment, the entire underground cave shook with ghostly howls.
