Chapter 357: Chapter 356: The Strongest Mage in History
The Fire Elemental Army was strong. That much was true. They were far more than just a notch above ordinary Elements.
After all, the Fire Elemental Minions were still no match for them.
These things evolved way too quickly.
They grew stronger every time they appeared. One had to wonder what these Elements ate to get so big.
Even Jiang Zuo was exasperated with them.
At that moment, the Dark Purple Element was utterly enraged. ’Now any random Element dares to defy me?’
It roared again, and endless Elements gathered once more. If individual units were weak, then it would use absolute numbers to crush everything.
The Fire Elemental Leader was a bit dumbfounded as it watched this unfold.
’The heretic actually called for so many reinforcements? We, who have always held the advantage in numbers, are now outnumbered?’
’How could this be tolerated?’
With a great wave of its arm, the Fire Elemental Leader declared, "My reserve army! Come forth! I’ll let you see the world!"
The next moment, innumerable Fire Elements arrived in formation, equally filled with majesty and discipline.
This was the Fire Elemental Army’s advantage—they were a proper, organized military.
Meanwhile, the Water Elements had also requested support, and a large number of them rushed over as well.
However, they were a far cry from the Fire Elemental Army.
The Fire Elemental Leader looked at the Dark Purple Element, its eyes filled with disdain. ’Competing with numbers?’
’We’re not scared at all. Only a Water Element would be.’
’The Water Elements are pathetic. They’ve done nothing since the alliance was formed.’
The Dark Purple Element nearly coughed up blood in fury at the Fire Elemental Leader’s provocation.
It immediately ordered an attack.
The Fire Elemental Leader also commanded its army forward. "Destroy everything! Destroy the heretic! For the glory of the Elements!"
CHARGE!
In the next instant, the young man’s Dark Purple Element faction, the Fire Elemental Leader’s faction, and Jiang Zuo’s faction plunged into a three-way melee.
A precarious three-way standoff formed, though the area Jiang Zuo occupied was pitifully small.
As the three factions battled, Elemental Power began to overflow completely.
With Jiang Zuo and the young man’s positions acting as conduits, it began to gush out madly.
The next moment, everyone on East Water Island saw it.
Somewhere on East Water Island, a fiery light flared. The instant it appeared, it began to spread, and in a flash, the entire sky above East water Island was blanketed in its glow.
Meanwhile, out at sea, various kinds of Elemental Power also materialized. They instantly surged toward East Water Island at incredible speeds, eventually connecting with the fiery light there.
Then, the immense Elemental Power began to rapidly expand, covering the entire surface of the sea and all of East Water Island in its terrifying might.
On East Water Island, everyone had been guided into the isolation array in the great mountain. Only there were they temporarily safe.
But soon, even that would no longer be safe. The Elemental Power was still spreading.
All the Mages and Cultivators who knew what was happening watched in horror.
’Is this the Elemental Wound?’
’It’s... it’s too terrifying!’
’Even more terrifying than the Sea Monsters.’
Yes, it was far more terrifying than the Sea Monsters. If the Sea Monsters didn’t retreat back into the sea, they would be crushed by the Elemental Power.
This was an elemental catastrophe.
At this point, even Chu Qing’s father had fallen back to a defensive position.
He looked at the sky and said, "How can the Elements gather this much power? It’s impossible! And it’s still increasing.
If this keeps up, the Light Elemental Power alone will crush East Water Island."
Chu Qing’s Mother was also stunned. "This is the Elemental Wound? Impossible. The Elemental Wound was never this terrifying."
Just then, Mo Yan exclaimed, "Look at the sky! The fields of power are divided! And look closely—I think there are figures inside!"
Everyone looked up at the sky.
Three distinct forces were clashing. Within each stood a figure. One of them was even riding a horse.
The three of them stood there, all the power clashing with them at the center, evenly matched.
Chu Qing’s father said, astonished, "Someone is fighting on the Elemental Level?"
Liu Yiyi said, "We can now confirm that one side is Fellow Daoist Po Xiao and another is an elemental enemy. The last one is unknown."
"Po Xiao? How is that possible? What gives him the right to participate in a clash like this?" Chu Qing’s father found it hard to believe.
Xiao Xiaomo said, "Just stop. Your horizons are too narrow. You don’t understand Boss Po Xiao at all.
Aside from his low Cultivation, the boss is strong in every other way."
Chi Xue Child, who was eating a popsicle, asked, "So which one is Fellow Daoist Po Xiao? The weakest one?"
"The weakest one must be the Elemental Spirit, right? Can’t you see it struggling to hold on? I think the one on horseback is the boss. So imposing," Mo Yan said.
Then, Chu Qing’s Mother asked, "Didn’t you say that Po Xiao was planning to use the Celestial Tribulation to solve the problem? Why did he get involved personally?"
Uh...
"Maybe he was bored?" Mo Yan suggested.
But that explanation didn’t seem very likely.
Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Let’s just wait. The one who ends up doing the most outrageous thing will undoubtedly be Fellow Daoist Po Xiao."
While they were discussing, Shui Luo, who was watching Su Qi undergo her Crossing the Tribulation, was also staring in disbelief at the terrifying Elemental Power.
"There’s... there’s no Elemental Power."
Hiller asked, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"I can’t sense them. Or rather, they’re so faint I can’t perceive them. There’s simply no place for the Seven Elemental Spirits in that three-way clash," Shui Luo said.
Hiller was shocked. "How can that be? I thought the Elemental Wound was supposed to be incredibly powerful. Why can’t it even find a foothold now?"
Shui Luo shook her head. "You’re mistaken. What we’re seeing now is just the overflow, and it’s already this terrifying. Can you imagine how dreadful it would be if all this power were fully unleashed?
East Water Island would be annihilated in an instant."
Hiller was stunned. He then asked, "Then... who exactly is fighting in there?"
Shui Luo said, "Look at their origins. One is from the island, and one is from behind the Water Monsters.
To put it simply, one side is very likely the enemy who came with the Water Monsters. Another is probably the person sent by the Holy Land, likely to protect the Tribulation Crosser.
And the last one... should be the person who set up the array."
Hiller didn’t understand. He asked, "So what does the outcome of their battle signify?"
Shui Luo shook her head. "I don’t know. But one thing is for sure: if they don’t settle this soon, East Water Island is finished."
Indeed, the power was still growing, becoming ever more terrifying.
Meanwhile, on the Elemental Level, Jiang Zuo looked at the young man.
The young man simply couldn’t believe what was happening. He looked at Jiang Zuo and demanded, "Who in the world are you? Why are you able to attract these bizarre Elements?
I’ve only ever seen one other person possess such a special Element..."
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. He stared at Jiang Zuo in terror. "It’s you! It has to be you! Who else could do something like this?"
Yes, only that person possessed the charisma to make the Elements fight for him. The strongest Mage in history, that lackey who willingly followed King Qin Wu—that damned traitor.
