The rule is paramount.
Chen Fan’s mind stood within the river of rules.
This river was vast.
Corresponding to its vastness was a jumbled mess of attributes.
Too many, truly too many.
Standing in the river of flowing rules, Chen Fan closed his eyes, sensing the attributes within the water.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth… the Five Elements were the clearest.
Wind, Thunder, Light, Dark, Life, Death…
Chen Fan was familiar with these attributes and had the clearest understanding of them. Beyond these, there were more attributes.
Taking the Wind attribute as an analogy, wind… had cutting, had blowing, had warmth, had piercing…
Too many.
In short, this river of rules seemed to gather all attributes.
“Five Elements.”
Chen Fan closed his eyes and sensed.
As his voice murmured, the Five Element attributes moved instantly.
His words were like commands.
“Gather.”
Another command echoed.
Swish.
Water flowed.
The currents of other attributes did not move; only the currents of the Five Elements flowed rapidly and then converged before Chen Fan.
Just this one action made Chen Fan feel exhausted.
“So heavy?”
It felt like carrying a thousand jin burden.
Too heavy.
“This won’t do.”
Chen Fan quickly dispersed the Five Element power and solely mobilized the Fire element power.
This time, it was much easier.
Flames surged, and under Chen Fan’s command, they converged into a line, like a tributary, flowing for a hundred meters.
“This is much simpler.”
A single Fire attribute flowed quietly.
Compared to the unorganized mess that had yet to be sorted, this Fire attribute was like a thin fire snake, flowing quietly.
The flames were burning, exploding, emitting light… these were the other branches contained within the flames.
“Very comfortable.”
Feeling the flowing flames, Chen Fan muttered to himself.
Yes, very comfortable.
It was as if a blocked vein had suddenly opened.
That feeling was indescribable.
“Continue.”
Perhaps this was the correct way.
On this day, Chen Fan became a porter.
Attribute laws were sorted out one by one.
Fire.
Metal.
Wood…
The Great Dao of the Five Elements.
This was the first area Chen Fan chose to sort out.
After all the Five Element attributes were sorted, the Great Daos, which were originally separate lines, suddenly began to merge.
The fusion of colorful rules seemed to contain some heavenly principle.
“Boom.”
Chen Fan’s divine sense was suddenly flooded by the Five Element rules.
Infinite power invaded his divine sense.
In his mind, the lake formed by his divine sense grew madly.
This was not all.
This power also began to condense on Chen Fan’s physical body.
“Buzz.”
A strand of Imperial Qi appeared.
Inside the restaurant…
“Swish.”
Chen Fan’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
A powerful aura spread from his body.
Tian Zai and Pang Tong were startled and quickly opened their eyes.
And then…
The two witnessed a truly shocking scene.
On Chen Fan’s physical body, five strands of Imperial Qi suddenly appeared.
It was five strands, not one.
The five strands of Imperial Qi rotated like great dragons around his body, as if possessing world-destroying power.
Imperial Qi circled his body.
Chen Fan stood there, his entire being a Five Element domain.
“City Lord.”
The most shocked was Pang Tong.
In his entire life, he had never witnessed such a grand spectacle.
Imperial Qi, he knew of it.
But he had never seen anyone condense five strands of Imperial Qi at once.
“Boom.”
Chen Fan’s aura began to rise steadily.
It was as if thunderous sounds echoed in Tian Zai and Pang Tong’s ears, like the sound of waves, rising higher and higher, stacking upon each other.
“Golden Silk Cicada Robe, out.”
Before the aura erupted, Chen Fan summoned the Golden Silk Cicada Robe.
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe could seal heaven and earth, preventing the aura from leaking out.
The small room was isolated.
Inside the restaurant…
“Huh?”
Someone sensed something and looked towards the room where Chen Fan was with confusion.
More than one person noticed.
Chen Fan was the focal point, and everyone’s attention was on him.
“The aura disappeared?”
The first to speak was surprised, “No, he sealed the room.”
“What is he doing?”
“Don’t know.”
“Did you guys notice? It seemed like an aura from nowhere suddenly appeared just now, but it vanished quickly,” said a man with strong perception.
He had sensed something was amiss.
But he didn’t think too much about it.
They were here anyway; Chen Fan couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.
“Heh, I wonder what tricks he’s up to.”
After a cold laugh, came confident words, “Don’t worry, someone has already discovered other Wasteland visitors, I heard it’s a guy named Wu Sheng.”
“It won’t be long before that guy is driven near the Free City, and by then…”
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.
Since Chen Fan would leave the city for a great demon, he would certainly leave for a person.
“This time, we absolutely cannot let him escape…”
They did not yet realize what would happen next.
…
Free City, central thatched cottage.
Bai Fa Yi Fu opened his eyes from his meditative pose.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the spatial barrier and see that restaurant.
A hint of anticipation appeared in his calm expression.
“Perhaps, senior was right…” he said, and then closed his eyes.
No one knew what he was referring to.
With a raise of his hand, the Sky Crown appeared in his palm.
Looking at the Sky Crown in his hand, a past scene appeared in Yi Fu’s mind.
He, who was once unremarkable, had accidentally stumbled into a place.
And then, he saw a scene he would never forget.
A battle.
The battle of immortals.
“Senior, I believe you will succeed. Sky Crown, once he passes the test, I will give it to him… Wasteland, I truly wish to see the place where senior lived.” His voice gradually faded until it was silent.
…
And at this moment.
Inside the restaurant.
Under the seal of the Golden Silk Cicada Robe, the five strands of Imperial Qi transformed into dragons.
“Roar.”
The roar of dragons.
The growl of emperors.
The five Imperial Dragons intertwined, making Chen Fan look like a human emperor.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, five colors.
At this moment, Chen Fan was the master of the Five Elements; where he stood was the Five Element domain.
“Rumble.”
It was wild and turbulent like rolling waves.
Amidst the surging tides, his aura continued to rise.
Chen Fan’s gaze was as deep as an eternal abyss.
Beside him, the two little fellows trembled.
Be it Tian Zai or Pang Tong.
In their eyes, they saw a long-lost deity when looking at Chen Fan.
Speechless for a long time.
Until the dragon of Imperial Qi slowly receded its pressure, entwined around Chen Fan’s arm, and slowly vanished.
“Huff.”
The man and the demon simultaneously exhaled a breath of stale air.
It was too oppressive.
“City Lord.”
Tian Zai spoke.
Chen Fan turned his head, and that gaze made Tian Zai feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.
His trembling body revealed his inner fear.
He was like this; let alone Pang Tong.
The trembling Pang Tong almost knelt down; those eyes were like the eyes of a god.
Fortunately, the terrifying gaze quickly receded.
The familiar smile reappeared, and the fear of the man and the demon dissipated.
“Not bad.”
Chen Fan smiled indifferently.
