Chapter 29
Five Elements Grand Escape
Zhang Zhi Wei's reaction speed could not be said to be slow, but Bai Ze's speed was clearly somewhat beyond his expectations. Before he had pursued far, Zhang Zhi Wei had completely lost track of Bai Ze.
Could he have fallen into an Anomalous region?
Zhang Zhi Wei did not believe that Bai Ze could reach this realm in a short time, so he began to vigilantly examine the surrounding environment.
Although the frequency of Anomalies appearing was even lower than that of Ominous Entities, he had been in the Ancient Battlefield for quite some time, so encountering one was not strange.
However, no matter how Zhang Zhi Wei observed, he could not find anything that could serve as a host for an Anomaly.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. Zhang Zhi Wei looked closely and found two figures, one in front and one behind, running towards him. He recognized both of them; they were clearly Bai Ze, whom he had just lost track of, and...
Himself!
Zhang Zhi Wei instinctively became vigilant, and his Divine Sense surged out, but he couldn't sense any aura, just like when he had seen Bai Ze before.
Bai Ze moved extremely fast, and soon arrived before Zhang Zhi Wei, but seemed not to see Zhang Zhi Wei standing there. He paused for a moment and then silently vanished.
And the "himself" who followed quickly caught up, investigated for a while, and then went to the spot where Zhang Zhi Wei was standing and disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi Wei felt a sudden realization in his heart. He stood still and waited silently. Not long after, he once again saw the phantom images of Bai Ze and himself, like a revolving lantern, continuously repeating their previous actions until they completely disappeared.
Indeed, it was so. Was it a temporal afterimage? But at least it proved that Bai Ze had indeed been here, and the time difference was not great.
Thinking this, Zhang Zhi Wei recalled the last direction Bai Ze had disappeared in. He was about to continue his search when he noticed the chaotic Killing Qi above his head suddenly surge, and then a dried corpse fell from the middle.
Another Ominous Entity?
Zhang Zhi Wei frowned slightly upon seeing this. Although he had intentionally delved deep into the Ancient Battlefield, he had encountered a bit too many Ominous Entities today.
This Ominous Entity seemed a little sluggish, looking around in a daze. After a long while, it was attracted by the aura on Zhang Zhi Wei's body and attacked without a word.
This Ominous Entity waved its hand, and on the dark red ground, a sea wave tens of zhang high suddenly appeared, fiercely crashing towards Zhang Zhi Wei.
Unlike Evil Entities, which acted in groups and could only harm souls, Ominous Entities acted no differently from ordinary cultivators and could also cast divine abilities. If their half-dead bodies were included, their strength was even higher.
However, facing such a powerful blow, Zhang Zhi Wei was not flustered at all. He gently fanned the feather fan in his hand, a five-colored divine light flashed, and the huge wave silently disappeared.
Seeing Zhang Zhi Wei easily resolve his divine ability, the Ominous Entity still had no intention of retreating. Its two index fingers quickly drew in the void, and several spiritual talismans slowly formed, intertwining in the air to form a gigantic formation.
Then, five completely different energies—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—surged from within the formation. The Five Elements circulated, seemingly containing all the transformations of the world.
Looking at the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth Five Elements energy summoned by the formation in the air, Zhang Zhi Wei nodded slightly. This Ominous Entity must have been very proficient in Five Elements divine abilities when it was alive. These Five Elements divine abilities assisted each other, circulating endlessly, very similar to the Five-Colored Divine Light. Ordinary divine abilities simply could not contend against them.
However, encountering him could be considered the opponent's bad luck.
Zhang Zhi Wei smiled faintly, his feather fan gently swaying. A Five-Colored Divine Light, heavy as a mountain, shot out from the Peacock Feather Fan, meeting the Five Elements energy.
In an instant, the originally dark red sky was enveloped by the five-colored light, taking on a somewhat immortal realm feel. But as one of the five-colored lights within it dissipated, this rare scene vanished.
The one that dissipated was, naturally, the Ominous Entity's divine ability.
The Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock Clan swept away the Five Elements. As long as something did not escape the Five Elements, it was no match for a single sweep.
The Five-Colored Divine Light easily dispersed the Ominous Entity's divine ability, its momentum undiminished, and immediately fell upon the formation. The formation only resisted for a moment before completely shattering, and the Five-Colored Divine Light also flew towards the Ominous Entity.
Seeing this, the Ominous Entity had no intention of lingering. Its body curled up and merged into the ground, intending to escape via earth escape.
So rational? A bit unlike the ones encountered before.
Zhang Zhi Wei raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised by this Ominous Entity's calm fighting style.
He had wandered in this Ancient Battlefield for some time, and none of the Ominous Entities he encountered failed to show extreme interest in the spiritual power aura on his body. Although they would use divine abilities, most of them were unorganized, almost entirely acting on instinct.
But this Ominous Entity was clearly very calm. After a probing attack, it struck with full force, and upon failing again, it chose to flee. This decisiveness, Zhang Zhi Wei would believe it if someone said it was an ordinary person.
However, Zhang Zhi Wei had no intention of letting the opponent go. The Five-Colored Divine Light reappeared, scraping clean the surrounding ground. Then, he opened his sleeve, and a huge suction force emanated from within, forcefully pulling the Ominous Entity back.
Being forcefully pulled back by Zhang Zhi Wei, the Ominous Entity finally revealed its true nature. Its crimson eyes were filled with ferocity, and its pale white teeth continuously gnashed together, looking like a wild beast.
Zhang Zhi Wei did not rush to kill the opponent upon seeing this. The Five-Colored Divine Light transformed into a long rope, tightly binding the Ominous Entity, and he lifted it before him.
Indeed, compared to the Ominous Entities encountered before, the chaotic Killing Qi clinging to this Ominous Entity was almost non-existent. It seemed it had never been active in the Ancient Battlefield before, no wonder it could retain such rationality.
But if that were truly the case, then it meant there must be a passage here leading to another place, and that place might be the source of the Anomalies!
Thinking of the increasingly high frequency of Ominous Entities appearing these past few days, Zhang Zhi Wei became even more convinced of his speculation. He looked at the Ominous Entity still struggling before him, and the Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly tightened, tearing the Ominous Entity into fragments.
"Retrieved unknown ancient mummy. Obtained [Five Elements Grand Escape]."
Five Elements Grand Escape.
Heavenly Dipper divine ability, a grand culmination of Five Elements spell arts and escape arts, a general term for both spell arts and escape arts.
Zhang Zhi Wei's eyes lit up, a little surprised and pleased.
Thanks to the two blessed lands, the Ancient Battlefield and the Binding Prison, besides Heavenly Dipper and Earth Fiend divine abilities, he had also obtained many other major and minor divine abilities. However, they were too complex, and he already possessed divine abilities like the Five-Colored Divine Light and Universe in the Sleeve, so he rarely used them.
Now with this Five Elements Grand Escape, many of the Five Elements divine abilities, both major and minor, that he had previously overlooked, were integrated, becoming the best nourishment.
In just a moment, Zhang Zhi Wei felt his comprehension of the Five Thunders Righteous Method and even the Five-Colored Divine Light advance another level!
