Seal of Heaven and Earth

Bang!

The Sky Elephant Ancestor’s trunk was once again repelled, and this time, he even felt a faint sting.

This surprised him greatly.

“It can even reflect damage! What secrets does this human possess?”

Previously, his attacks had been casual, and the reflected force was too weak to notice. But now that he had exerted a bit more strength, the difference was immediately apparent.

“Not only can it reflect damage, but this brat’s power is also growing stronger… Could it be… he’s absorbing my strength for himself?”

At this thought, the Sky Elephant Ancestor’s pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze toward Gu Qingfeng grew even more covetous.

“Human, are you absorbing my power?”

Though phrased as a question, his tone was undeniably certain.

Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. It seemed this old thing hadn’t lived for thousands of years in vain—he’d figured it all out in an instant.

But he wasn’t afraid. If the cards were on the table, so be it!

“Yep!”

Gu Qingfeng openly admitted with a nod.

“Good. Human, you’ve successfully piqued my interest.”

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng shuddered involuntarily.

His mind conjured the image of a domineering CEO pinning a maiden against a wall, lifting her chin, and saying, “Woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention.”

Unaware of Gu Qingfeng’s mental digression, the Sky Elephant Ancestor continued, “Most of my power is currently sealed, so I can’t do much to you. In that case, I’ll have to imprison you first. Once I’ve finished refining the Heavenly Dao, I’ll take my time uncovering your secrets.”

With a wave of his hand, five distinct fluctuations of the Five Elements surged from each of his fingers.

“Five Elements Seal!”

Whoosh—!

The powers of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth intertwined midair, forming a radiant, multicolored cage that trapped Gu Qingfeng inside.

Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.

Using a Five Elements Seal to imprison someone with a Five Elements Divine Body—this old monster was truly a genius.

Casually, he extended a finger and tapped the seal.

The Sky Elephant Ancestor watched calmly. “The Five Elements Seal is a technique from the Upper Realm. The elements cycle endlessly, sustaining themselves. With your power, breaking it is simply—”

Crack!

A soft sound interrupted him.

It came from the Five Elements Seal. Starting from where Gu Qingfeng’s finger touched, the cage began to shatter like broken glass…

Gu Qingfeng stepped out leisurely and remarked, “As easy as snapping a twig? Is that what you were going to say?”

The Sky Elephant Ancestor froze, his eyes locked onto the five-colored radiance emanating from Gu Qingfeng’s body. “Five Elements Divine Body!”

“You’ve got a decent eye,” Gu Qingfeng praised flatly.

Ignoring the mockery in his tone, the Sky Elephant Ancestor mused, “To think you possess not only that bizarre Dragon-Elephant physique but also a Five Elements Divine Body. Dual physiques like this are exceedingly rare even in the Upper Realm. For a mere lower realm human to have them… What earth-shattering secret could have birthed such fortune? You’ve become even more intriguing.

I once believed the Heavenly Dao was the greatest treasure of the Qing Realm, but it seems an anomaly like you has surpassed it!”

“Enough talk. You’re just stalling to refine the Heavenly Dao, aren’t you? Well, I won’t let you.”

Gu Qingfeng clenched his fist, gathering power for another strike of the Imperial Extreme World-Shaking Fist.

But the Sky Elephant Ancestor shook his head. “Human, don’t overestimate yourself. Dealing with you doesn’t require stalling. If the Five Elements Seal can’t hold you, how about this?”

“Cosmic Seal!”

Instantly, the power of heaven and earth surged violently.

A beam of light descended from the void, enveloping Gu Qingfeng within its radiance.

“Quite the showman.”

Gu Qingfeng scoffed and activated his Truth-Seeking Eyes to locate the seal’s weak points.

When it came to energy-based seals or formations, he wasn’t worried at all.

Seals and formations were, at their core, manipulations of energy flow.

Energy was like water—a formation was akin to a waterfall. To the untrained eye, a waterfall appeared as a single entity, but through the Truth-Seeking Eyes, it was nothing more than countless droplets. Some areas had more water, others less, and some gaps had none at all.

Of course, advanced formations like this had no true gaps.

But where the energy was thinner, the barrier was weaker—the formation’s vulnerabilities.

All Gu Qingfeng had to do was strike these weak points to break the seal effortlessly.

Boom—!

He punched the vulnerable spot.

The Cosmic Seal trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.

“Hah! Not bad for the work of a Heavenly Realm expert. Even the weak points are this tough? One punch wasn’t enough? Then take another!”

Outside, the Sky Elephant Ancestor’s expression shifted in disbelief.

A coincidence?

How had this brat struck the seal’s weak point so effortlessly?

It must have been luck. The seal’s vulnerabilities shifted constantly—he must have hit the right spot by chance.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Gu Qingfeng’s second punch landed.

Boom—!

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out as a spiderweb of fissures spread across the Cosmic Seal.

The Sky Elephant Ancestor’s face darkened.

This was no coincidence—this brat had a way to see through the seal!

Absorbing attacks, reflecting damage, dual physiques, and now the ability to perceive weaknesses? This kid was a walking treasure trove!

His secrets must be seized at all costs!

Abruptly, the Sky Elephant Ancestor made his move.

He retrieved a formation disk from his person and tossed it into the air. It landed atop the light beam, instantly reinforcing the Cosmic Seal. Energy surged, brilliance flared, and the cracks vanished in an instant.

“Tch. Playing games with me, huh? Let’s see if you can reinforce it faster than I can break it.”

Gu Qingfeng smirked and threw another punch at the newly shifted weak point.

But this time, his fist struck—and nothing happened.

The Cosmic Seal didn’t budge.

“What the hell? This thing’s unbreakable?”

“Seriously? I can’t even tear through something this flimsy?”

Refusing to believe it, Gu Qingfeng unleashed a barrage of punches.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Cosmic Seal remained unmoved.

“Save your strength. Even if you can see through the seal, my formation disk is a Peerless Divine Weapon. Under its enhancement, you lack the power to breach even its weakest points.”

Having said this, the Sky Elephant Ancestor ignored Gu Qingfeng and returned to refining the Heavenly Dao, seemingly unconcerned about his escape.

A Peerless Divine Weapon?!

Gu Qingfeng glanced up at the formation disk. Who would’ve thought this unremarkable object was so formidable?

From what he’d learned from Xiang Tian, weapons were categorized as Spirit Weapons, Divine Weapons (graded into lower, middle, upper, and peak tiers), and beyond that—Peerless Divine Weapons!
