X-Dragon Era

Time slowly passed, and all the scattered black energy was swiftly devoured by the cauldron-shaped object. Although dark Qi continuously surged around it, it was constantly blasted apart and absorbed. Gradually... the surrounding black fog was devoured, revealing a vast open space where the pure Qi rose and the turbid Qi sank, separating to form a clear and bright world.

It seemed like an instant or perhaps eons had passed; this bright world grew older and vaster, and eventually, one day, the whole world had expanded to an immeasurable extent. No traces of black Qi were coming forth anymore. Witnessing this scene, the robust figure finally smiled contently.

Just as the robust figure was rejoicing, a dull booming sound suddenly came from the heavens and the earth. The sky and ground appeared to be overlapping, and black Qi surged once again. Seeing this, the robust figure bellowed, raising his hands high above his head to support the descending sky.

His feet planted on the earth, he exerted tremendous force and managed to prop up the converging heavens and earth.

However, though the sky and earth were held back, the incoming black Qi seemed unstoppable. At that moment, the scattered shards around them swiftly came to life, shooting in all directions, suppressing the flow of black Qi from each location.

Four sword-shaped objects, along with the cauldron-shaped, diagram-shaped, banner-shaped, and bell-shaped objects, perfectly suppressed the eight directions. The world finally returned to calm as the robust figure held the heavens and earth steady.

At that moment, the robust figure shuddered intensely, as if he had realized something; ecstasy spread across his face. At the same time, a dense Mysterious Yellow fog began to rise between heaven and earth.

"Ha!" Upon seeing this yellow fog, the eight objects suppressing the directions frantically absorbed it. Concurrently, the robust figure was no exception; he opened his mouth wide, and in one breath, the Mysterious Yellow fog howled as it flowed toward him.

Yet, pitted one against eight, he was obviously outpaced. In urgency, the robust figure bellowed sharply. From his head, wrapped in a halo, three beams of light in different colors shot out, rapidly weaving through the heavens and earth, plundering the Mysterious Yellow Qi.

As the three beams of light left his body, the robust figure's form suddenly stiffened. After accumulating energy for a short while, his body burst forth with a radiance of ten thousand beams. Where the light passed, the surrounding fog surged crazily, rushing toward his body and gathering around it, forming a thick layer of Mysterious Yellow armor.

Time slowly trickled by, and after an indeterminate length, the Mysterious Yellow Qi between heaven and earth had finally vanished. Eighty percent had been absorbed by the eight shards, while the remaining twenty percent was absorbed by the robust figure and the three beams of light he had released.

However, although the three beams of light were also absorbing, the three combined could barely compete with a single shard. After the Mysterious Yellow fog was absorbed, the three beams of light circled the robust figure for a few rounds, then swiftly flew off into the distance and vanished from sight in an instant.

For a moment, the entire world fell into sudden silence, except for the eight shards suppressing the eight directions, and the giant figure wrapped in the thick Mysterious Yellow armor.

After an unknown duration, eventually... atop the towering robust figure, Five-Colored Radiance began to shimmer. A figure in flowing robes slowly rose, and though its size was reduced by myriad times, anyone with a discerning gaze could see that its appearance was identical to that of the robust figure!

The figure in robes glanced around and gave a slight smile. With a wave of his hand, the Mysterious Yellow armor encasing the robust figure fell away. They then reassembled in the air, forming a Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

The eight shard remnants trembled slightly and gathered together in the middle. Seeing this, the figure holding the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda nodded in approval without stopping them, simply observing as they converged.

Where the eight shards converged, they slowly regained their original form of a battle-ax. As the Five-Colored Radiance intensified, the cracks within the shards began to shine with Mysterious Yellow light, clearly attempting to use the Mysterious Yellow Qi to repair the cracks in the ax.

Just as the battle-ax was about to be fully restored, suddenly... black energy surged once again from all directions of the world, ravaging its way toward it. Seeing this, the figure holding the Treasure Pagoda furrowed his brow sharply and instantly threw the pagoda in his hand. With a thundering crash, it landed above the battle-ax, and in an instant...

a Mysterious Yellow spiral qi appeared at the base of the pagoda, completely enveloping the battle-ax within it.

Beneath the rotation of the Mysterious Yellow vortex, the battle-ax trembled violently. As time elapsed, a beam of light, condensed from the Five-Colored Radiance and shaped like an ax, was gradually forced out and separated from the ax body.

Then, the master of the Linglong Tower waved his hand, and in an instant... the eight shards were all sucked into the tower. As the light flickered, the tower-shaped object slowly transformed and solidified into a Mysterious Yellow Linglong Pagoda. Then... light flashed from the mouth of the pagoda, and eight treasures shot out.

The first to emerge were four sharp Treasure Swords, their sword lights chilling to the bone, inciting fear in anyone who saw them.

The second to come out was a rectangular object engraved with the Tai Chi Diagram. At a glance, the rotating Taiji seemed to pull one's soul into it.

The third to emerge was a bell-shaped object of Mysterious Yellow color. It rang without being struck, producing a continuous humming roar.
