The Power of Five Elements

The entire group stood on the vast, verdant plains. Above the willow trees were lazing white clouds. Tian Ran, the one Mu Yu wanted to protect most, dragged his feelings to the surface with her question.

“I won’t allow Tian Ran to suffer any arm,” Mu Yu uttered.

“You call this a dream. You think your so-called reality is flawless? An illusionist can’t create a flawless dream. What about your childhood? Your luck? You get whatever you want. You’re the main protagonist in your reality. You won’t die. You wouldn’t be in so much danger. Everything you do becomes the centre of attention. Illusionists can change the way you view the world, but he can’t make it perfect. You will identify the fallacies soon,” bellowed Qiao Xue, shedding tears.

Mu Yu smiled. He agreed his reality was complete and was void of anything amiss. He was sometimes lucky, but life wasn’t always smooth sailing. He didn’t believe all of his experiences and journeys thus far were hallucinations.

“He can’t return. He’s forgotten who he is and sided with Feng Haochen, our enemy,” Lie Shang stated, flames enveloping him.

Cheng Yan and Xiang Nan both confronted Mu Yu, as well. The baffling part was what their qualm was. Any single one of them could make short work of Mu Yu.

“We never had a chance of winning. Without Mu Yu, we can’t defeat the illusionist. What’s the plan?” Xiang Nan anxiously inquired.

“Mu Yu’s vitality strong vitality makes him the worst opponent for us. I never expected to have a traitor amongst us. If we can’t bring Mu Yu to his senses, there’s no chance of defeating the illusionist,” answered Cheng Yan.

“First Brother, Xiang Nan, you two find an opening to finish Feng Haochen. Qiao Xue, you and I will stop Mu Yu,” Lie Shang recommended in a muffled voice.

Mu Yu transformed one of his swords into a starry dragon vine. The dragon vine pulverised Stargazer and the stone spikes to reach Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan conjured layers of walls in front of him. The dragon vine produced thousands of hands as soon as it smashed into one wall and began tearing them down from within. Xiang Nan concentrated qi to his hand and backhanded the dragon vine away. Alas, bits of green light invaded his arm. Sprouts forced their way through his skin.

“First Brother!” Xiang Nan cried.

Cheng Yan decisively swung down, ridding all of the green sprouts and closed the splits in Xiang Nan’s arm prior to exiting Mu Yu’s attack range.

Lie Shang sizzled a hole in Mu Yu’s barrier using Sky Scorcher Sword. Qiao Xue leveraged the opening to send water droplets in to freeze the green points. Green buds still managed to sprout their way out of the ice, nevertheless. Each bud bloomed as an assortment of plants and trapped the ice outside.

The ability to utilise plants’ vitality was one Mu Yu had never touched on. He only learnt how to use the wood powers of the wood spirit thanks to the current events. He never sensed the same immense vitality prominent in the wood spirit before then. He felt empowered more than ever. The source of confidence was a feeling he could control all life. He could sense power that he could use to kill anyone if he willed it.

“Exterminate cultivators, and there won’t be any more unfairness in the world. Exterminate cultivators. They are the root of all evil. Exterminate cultivators, and the world shall be yours henceforward.”

Memories of cultivators imposing their unreasonable desires on ordinary folks flooded Mu Yu’s mind. All the unfairness and injustices enraged him. A sense of authority spurred his impulse to judge others as the blade of justice.

An astral fig tree materialised behind Mu Yu. His gaze turned cold. His lust for blood overwrote all other desires. His left eye turned white, right eye black.

“You’re all dead,” Mu Yu uttered, voice frosty.

Qiao Xue felt Mu Yu was colder than ever her ice. Mu Yu’s change changed even the weather. The death god’s sickle figuratively suffocated everyone present. Mu Yu had gone berserk!
