The Ancient Devil Divided Soul's face was incredibly solemn, his entire body filled with killing intent, Devilish Qi steaming, making his handsome face appear terrifyingly ferocious.
"I originally thought you were just extraordinarily talented, but I never expected you to possess the ancient golden thunder bamboo!"
"Is golden thunder bamboo not extinct yet?"
Li Feiyu did not answer.
"Since you have golden thunder bamboo, then I have even less reason to let you go!"
"Heh heh, I never thought we could coexist peacefully."
He looked at the others, "Don't hold back, if he doesn't die, we won't live!"
Crimson Crow landed on Li Feiyu's shoulder. Li Feiyu fed him three drops of thousand-year longevity liquid, allowing him to unleash multiple bursts of power.
He himself did the same, instantly burning a thousand years of Lifespan.
Now was not the time to care about physical damage; damage could be slowly recovered, but if they fell into the hands of this Ancient Devil, everyone's fate was imaginable.
Jin Yuan's pupils slightly contracted when he saw Crimson Crow and Li Feiyu's power surge.
The Ancient Devil's expression changed, "The art of burning Lifespan, you are actually so willing!"
Crimson Crow burned a thousand years of longevity liquid and unleashed his Three-legged Divine Ability. The power of his attack was no less than Jin Yuan's, and Li Feiyu was even stronger, already approaching the Major Achievement of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Great Five Elements Sword Formation appeared, its Formation diagram floating in the sky. A Five Element light barrier emerged, enveloping the entire hall.
The Ancient Devil was entangled and unable to escape when the light barrier closed. However, even while being besieged by everyone, he still diverted a portion of his mind to pay attention to Li Feiyu.
"You are indeed proficient in the Five Element, no wonder you found this Immortal Cave!"
The five-colored torrent continuously attacked the Ancient Devil Divided Soul, putting him under great pressure, as his current strength was not what it once was.
A huge, pitch-black bronze bell with dark golden patterns rose above his head.
With its appearance, a protective shield appeared around the Ancient Devil Divided Soul. The shield was extremely powerful; neither Jin Yuan and Crimson Crow's Sun True Fire attacks nor the demon Cultivator's Physical Body Divine Ability attacks, and even Li Feiyu's five-colored torrent, only caused the shield to continuously tremble.
"This is my Natal Ink Treasure, nurtured for tens of thousands of years. Its power far surpasses your Magic Treasures."
"Heavenly Sword Descends."
The massive five-colored Heavenly Sword landed on the shield, erupting with a violent sound and stirring up a furious hurricane.
Crack~
Amidst the explosion, a crisp sound did not escape Li Feiyu's ears.
"Crimson Crow, Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, Three-legged Divine Ability, attack the spot where my Heavenly Sword just struck!"
"Ya ya ~"
"Good!"
Li Feiyu didn't count on the other two at all, considering them merely making up the numbers.
However, they also attacked together.
The black bronze bell's defensive power was indeed strong, but their combined attack was comparable to a Deity Transformation Realm attack. The bronze bell was sent flying, and a crack even appeared on it.
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul gritted his teeth, forming hand seals, and roared, "Fiendish Demon Eye!"
A giant eye appeared above his head, staring at everyone. Everyone felt their Primordial Spirit turn cold.
"Die for me!"
Three beams of light shot out from the pitch-black eye, landing on the White Face demon Cultivator, the Black Face demon Cultivator, and Jin Yuan, respectively.
He could ignore the other two, but not Jin Yuan.
A disc flew out at extreme speed, landing in front of Jin Yuan. From the disc burst forth terrifying ghostly wails. Jin Yuan immediately dodged and appeared beside Li Feiyu.
As for the other two demon Cultivators, they had no similar means to resist this terrifying eye-light attack. After being struck, their eyes began to glaze over.
Just then, Crimson Crow transformed into a rainbow light, soaring back and forth. When he returned to Li Feiyu's side, two fist-sized demon cores floated beside him.
The Soul Devouring Yin Plate released Soul lock Chains, pulling their spirits into the ghost world for suppression.
The Ancient Devil raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Li is truly decisive. As long as they are useless, you show no mercy. Fellow Daoist Jin, you should be careful."
Li Feiyu said, "I never intended to keep them. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily. As for Fellow Daoist Jin, my relationship with him is much deeper than you imagine."
"Can't you tell that my Spirit Beast and Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan are of the same race?"
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul said, "Do you think I'm trying to sow discord?"
"What a joke. I've seen many people like Fellow Daoist Li. As long as it threatens your own person, or there's a huge conflict of interest that exceeds your bottom line, you won't hold back against anyone, right?"
"So what?" Li Feiyu admitted openly, "However, my bottom line might be even lower than you imagine."
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul couldn't gain the upper hand, and Jin Yuan also remained unmoved. He was very displeased, and a ball of pitch-black, reddish flame ignited in his palm.
The flame emitted extremely terrifying fluctuations, seemingly capable of burning the sky and destroying the earth.
Crimson Crow and Jin Yuan also unleashed Sun True Fire. The two fires combined, greatly increasing their power, and Li Feiyu unleashed Evil-warding Divine Thunder, coiling it around the outside of the Sun True Fire.
With the Evil-warding Divine Thunder weakening the red-black Devil Fire, the Sun True Fire gained the upper hand, forcing him to hastily dodge.
He couldn't allow that domineering Sun True Fire to casually touch his body.
This was not his true body, but merely the body of a human Cultivator that he had possessed.
"Damn Evil-warding Divine Thunder, I want to see how much you can unleash."
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul was somewhat impatient. With Devil Fire in one hand and Devil Thunder in the other, both were terrifying Great Divine Abilities. Crimson Crow and the others dealt with the Devil Fire, while Li Feiyu unleashed Evil-warding Divine Thunder to counter the Devil Thunder.
Facing the full-force siege of three Nascent Soul Late Stage powerhouses, the Ancient Devil Divided Soul was at a disadvantage. Most of his Divine Abilities were countered by the Evil-warding Divine Thunder.
This made him feel incredibly frustrated, and he could only continuously consume Li Feiyu's Evil-warding Divine Thunder.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Feiyu could persist for such a long time.
Just then, Crimson Crow and Li Feiyu's aura suddenly dropped. The Ancient Devil Divided Soul burst into laughter, "How long can a burst technique last? Now I'll see how you stop me!"
Li Feiyu sneered, "Idiot!"
The next moment, his and Crimson Crow's aura surged again, giving the impression of burning Lifespan once more.
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul was dumbfounded, and so was Jin Yuan.
"How is this possible? Do you two really want to die with me?"
"Even if you defeat me, with such frequent consumption of Lifespan, it will be extremely difficult for you to advance to the next Realm, let alone the Deity Transformation Realm."
"That's none of your concern."
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, can you still hold on?"
Jin Yuan nodded blankly.
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul was furious. He had thought that a turning point had arrived, but instead, he was met with two idiots who recklessly burned their Lifespan.
"Demonic Dragon Cone!"
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul released a pitch-black small cone from his body. A black Dragon shadow swam on it, and a Dragon's roar erupted.
"Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, gather!"
The five-colored Heavenly Sword disassembled and reassembled, forming a five-colored wheel. The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel spun rapidly, and the Five Element sharp edges it unleashed made the surrounding space unstable.
"Go!"

The Ancient Devil Divided Soul and Li Feiyu roared simultaneously.
The Demonic Dragon Cone and the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel collided fiercely in the air, erupting in intense sparks.
Jin Yuan opened his mouth and shot out a golden rainbow light, while Crimson Crow unleashed a golden fire line.
That rainbow light was the Sun Divine Light, a Divine Ability from his Legacy that he had only mastered after reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage. It was incredibly fast, almost impossible to evade.
Crimson Crow, on the other hand, compressed the Sun True Fire, increasing its attack power and destructiveness.
With the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel unleashed, the Great Five Elements Sword Formation couldn't last much longer; there were already signs of it gradually collapsing.
Li Feiyu controlled the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel with one hand, and then, above his head, he conjured a golden bow and arrow condensed from golden Evil-warding Divine Thunder.
The golden Evil-warding bow and arrow shot towards the Demonic Dragon Cone. Lightning arcs flickered, dispelling the Devilish Qi and demonic power on the Demonic Dragon Cone, greatly reducing its power.
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel immediately bounced off the Demonic Dragon Cone and flew towards the Ancient Devil Divided Soul.
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul was struck by the Sun Divine Light and the Sun Fire Line. His Physical Body was severely injured, making movement difficult. Now, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel flew in at an unparalleled speed, directly beheading him.
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul's body fell backward, but then a solidified soul body flew out, its face filled with resentment.
Whoosh ~
Without Li Feiyu's command, the Soul Devouring Yin Plate automatically released Soul lock Chains. Catching him off guard, it tightly bound him, and emerald green ghost fire ignited, burning the soul body.
Crimson Crow and Jin Yuan once again unleashed Sun True Fire. Their True Fire also had a great suppressive effect on soul bodies, as did Li Feiyu's Evil-warding Divine Thunder.
It continuously appeared, falling upon the Ancient Devil Divided Soul's head.
The Ancient Devil Divided Soul let out shrill screams under such attacks.
It must be said that his soul body was indeed powerful; so many attacks had not completely incinerated it. However, after he became incredibly weak, the Soul Devouring Yin Plate dragged him into the ghost world.
It didn't want to miss the Ancient Devil Divided Soul, who possessed a Great Divine Ability, as he was worth two or three Nascent Soul Late Stage Primordial Spirit essences.
The Demonic Dragon Cone and the black bronze bell both clanged as they fell to the ground.
Jin Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately sat down cross-legged, and began meditating to recover.
Li Feiyu sent Crimson Crow back to the Void Garden Pearl to recuperate. When his aura returned to normal, he felt a sharp pain throughout his body, and his face was somewhat pale.
After swallowing a few Medicinal Pills for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the origin, he also began to recover.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Li Feiyu had recovered mostly, and Jin Yuan was also much better.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, you continue to recover. I will go to the central stone chamber to study the Formation."
Li Feiyu planned to perfect the Great Five Elements Sword Formation diagram. He had already made some progress in his previous research, and now it was time to put it into practice.
Three months later, Li Feiyu was confident in breaking the grand Formation and retrieving the Top-Grade Spirit Stones. After multiple attempts, a completely new Great Five Elements Sword Formation had also been conceived.
However, because the refinement of the Formation diagram took a long time, it had not yet been implemented.
Leaving the stone chamber and arriving at the main hall, Li Feiyu saw Jin Yuan leisurely drinking tea.
He smiled, "Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, you are quite leisurely."
"Heh heh, don't mention it. The tea leaves produced by the five-colored tea tree in the Ancient Devil Divided Soul's mouth are truly a good thing. They gave me many insights into fire-type Divine Abilities. Perhaps soon, I can create a Divine Ability of my own."
Li Feiyu raised an eyebrow, quite surprised, "Is that so? Then congratulations! What about the tea leaves? Are there any more?"
"I found them in a Storage Pouch. It was just a small packet, and it's all gone."
Li Feiyu rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, have you explored the other areas these past few days? What did you find?"
Jin Yuan took another sip, then put down his teacup, "Actually, I've seen everything I wanted to see and could see. But there are still a few places with powerful Restrictions, which feel connected to the entire grand Formation. I spent a day or two trying to break them but couldn't, so I gave up."
"I've been waiting for you to come out of seclusion here."
Li Feiyu nodded, "Which ones are they?"
"The Five Element Garden, the Scripture Pavilion, the Demon Suppressing Chamber, and a study room."
Li Feiyu and Jin Yuan came to the central chamber. Jin Yuan was secretly astonished when he saw Li Feiyu reversing the Five Element and breaking the Formation with a Formation.
Such Formation attainments were truly extraordinary!
After so many years of continuous effort, Li Feiyu's Formation attainments had gradually caught up to his Alchemy and Artifact Refining levels, enough to be called a true Grandmaster of Formations.
He was even approaching the Realm of a Formation Grandmaster.
Puff puff puff puff puff ~
After five consecutive unusual sounds, the Five Element Demon Sealing Formation suddenly erupted, and a fierce Five Element Spiritual Qi storm blew in all directions.
Li Feiyu and the others' clothes fluttered, but they stood rooted to the ground, their bodies unmoving.
"Alright, the grand Formation is broken."
Li Feiyu exhaled a long breath.
Looking at the five Top-Grade Spirit Stones and the floating five-colored small mountain, Jin Yuan knew they were all good things. His eyes burned with desire, and he swallowed, suppressing his urge to claim them for himself.
As long as he wanted to live a little longer, he had to distinguish reality.
The reality was that Li Feiyu had done most of the work in dealing with the Ancient Devil Divided Soul. His own strength, at the late stage of transformation, was merely icing on the cake.
Indeed, if Li Feiyu hadn't helped him block that eye-light attack, he would probably have ended up in the same situation as the other transformed demon Cultivators.
"Last time, thanks to Fellow Daoist Li's intervention, I originally just wanted to witness the Divine Abilities of the Ancient Devil Divided Soul, but I ultimately underestimated those ancient Cultivators and overestimated my own cultivation at the late stage of transformation."
"These... Fellow Daoist Li, please take them."
Li Feiyu smiled, "Then I shall respectfully accept!"
Activating his Storage Pouch, the five Top-Grade Spirit Stones and the five-colored small mountain were all sucked in.
Without the Spiritual Qi supply from this central chamber, the grand Formation outside was no longer so impregnable. Even someone who didn't master the balance of the Five Element could exert effort and forcibly break it.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, are you interested in seeing those mysterious places?"
"Exactly."
Jin Yuan chuckled. They first came to the Five Element Garden. Li Feiyu did not forcibly break in, but rather used the Five Element balance to enter with Jin Yuan.
Upon entering, a rich Five Element Spiritual Qi rushed towards them.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was so dense that it had liquefied.
"Five-colored earth, Five Element essence!"
Li Feiyu couldn't help but exclaim. The Five Element Garden spanned ten li. Besides five half-mu square ponds, there was also an area planted with a large number of Five Element Spirit Medicines. Their age appeared to be quite considerable.
At least five or six thousand years old, and there were many of them.
However, those Spirit Medicines were covered by a killing Formation.
In addition, Li Feiyu also noticed a mysterious grand Formation throughout the Five Element Garden, constantly absorbing the surrounding Five Element Spiritual Qi.
Over tens of thousands of years, due to the extremely dense Spiritual Qi and insufficient space, the Spiritual Qi had liquefied, forming five Five Element Dharma Treasure Liquid ponds.
These Dharma Treasure Liquids were extremely pure, absolutely the best energy source for Cultivators with Five Element Spiritual Roots.
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, if you see anything you like, you can take some. Afterward, I will pack everything up and take it away."
Jin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then thank you very much."
He first flew towards those ancient Spirit Medicines, but there was a grand Formation there. He tried to forcibly break it, but instead, he ended up in a sorry state.
Li Feiyu muttered to himself, "As expected of a killing Formation set up by an ancient Great Divine Ability User. And from the looks of it, it's independent, not connected to the Formation in the central chamber."
