Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 542: Five-element spell combination
Chapter 542: Five-element spell combination
Meng Jingzhou and the others watched while munching on roasted lamb, clapping in admiration when they saw Li Haoran's brilliant move.
"Great idea! You can't deal with Lu Yang using ordinary tactics!" Meng Jingzhou praised. As Lu Yang's long-time rival, he knew that conventional methods wouldn't work; only by thinking outside the box could one hope to win.
"The skin tastes pretty good, even better than the lamb meat," Meng Jingzhou remarked, smacking his lips. He had been eating the crispy, fragrant lamb skin, which left a lingering taste in his mouth, especially when paired with the refreshing chive flowers.
The lamb meat beneath the skin was somewhat inferior in comparison.
Meng Jingzhou glanced at the blazing Samadhi True Fire and smacked his palm. "I've got an idea."
He flicked a wisp of Nirvana True Fire into the Samadhi True Fire. The two types of true fire mixed, crackling and popping.
Under the influence of the Nirvana True Fire, the lamb's corpse began to regrow its skin. Because the skin grew slowly, it could be meticulously roasted by the Samadhi True Fire, making it even more delicious!
Man Gu's eyes lit up at the sight. He hadn't expected the Nirvana True Fire to have such a use.
If he had never encountered the Samadhi True Fire before, it was understandable that he wouldn't associate it with roasting.
But the renowned Nirvana True Fire—what cultivator in the world of cultivation didn't know about it? That he hadn't thought to use it for roasting was truly inexcusable.
It was almost an insult to his heritage as a master of barbecue!
Following Brother Lu and Brother Meng, he could always learn something valuable!
Man Gu, as a Confucian cultivator, adhered to the sage's teachings of "three people walking, one must be my teacher" and "reflect on oneself thrice daily," constantly reflecting and improving his shortcomings.
While Man Gu was learning, Lu Yang was still battling the four-armed Li Haoran.
The three heads and six arms divine ability was indeed formidable. Even with just four arms, Li Haoran was putting immense pressure on Lu Yang.
"Thunder Palm!"
"Six Ding Divine Fire!"
"Great Yan True Fire!"
"One-Zhang Bamboo!"
With four hands forming seals, four different spells were hurled at Lu Yang.
The golden bird screeched, igniting the Samadhi True Fire. The golden bird spread its wings, each feather as sharp as a sword, slicing through the air.
Though both the Six Ding Divine Fire and Great Yan True Fire were true fires, they were not known for their explosive power and couldn't withstand the combined assault of Lu Yang's two true fires and sword energy.

The Thunder Palm also dissipated upon impact.
Only a section of emerald green bamboo, sharpened by Li Haoran, broke the sound barrier with a swoosh and shot towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang, using his divine sense, had already detected the bamboo, but his body reacted a split second too late, resulting in a cut on his arm.
"Junior Brother Li, impressive. You even poisoned the bamboo," Lu Yang said, using the True Fire of the Golden Bird to restrain Li Haoran while retrieving antidote pills from his identity jade token.
"No choice, Senior Brother Lu, you're too strong. I have to use some tricks to win."
"Besides, Senior Brother Lu, you haven't even shown your true skills yet."
Suddenly, both Lu Yang and Li Haoran attacked simultaneously, colliding with each other.
They had both intended to launch a sneak attack while talking, but their thoughts coincided.
"Arhat Fist!"
Lu Yang no longer held back, launching a fierce punch. As an artifact cultivator, Li Haoran couldn't compete with Lu Yang in close combat.
In close combat, only top-tier body cultivators like Meng Jingzhou or Confucian cultivators like Man Gu could suppress Lu Yang.
Li Haoran reacted quickly, knowing he couldn't clash head-on with the Arhat Fist. He tore off two arms from under his armpits, temporarily refining them into artifacts and hurling them at Lu Yang.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, they clashed dozens of times. Unfortunately, the temporarily refined flesh artifacts couldn't match the Arhat Fist, and Li Haoran was sent flying.
The good news was that Li Haoran's hair was a wig, so he wouldn't lose any hair.
"Six-Foot Golden Body!"
Lu Yang shouted softly, and a golden body resembling himself descended from the sky, enveloping Li Haoran.
"Tree Clone!"
Lu Yang burrowed into the ground, and seeds sprouted, growing into two Lu Yangs.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Lu Yang and his clone high-fived. The clone nodded and burrowed into the earth, moving swiftly underground like an earth dragon, approaching Li Haoran.
"Earth Escape!" Li Haoran didn't panic. He couldn't use Shrink Earth, but he could use the Earth Escape Technique.
The Six-Foot Golden Body had this flaw: it wasn't sealed underground, so anyone who could use Earth Escape could escape.
At this moment, Lu Yang's clone arrived underground and drew a circle around the Six-Foot Golden Body.
"Prison Ground."
The area beneath the Six-Foot Golden Body became a prison, blocking Li Haoran's escape route, forcing him to emerge.
From then on, the Six-Foot Golden Body had no weaknesses.
Li Haoran snorted coldly. "I want to see what a clone can do to me!"
Lu Yang's clone emerged from the earth and entered the Six-Foot Golden Body.
Li Haoran's arms transformed, becoming like white jade, and with a thrust, he pierced through Lu Yang's clone.
The clone was unaffected, as if the body wasn't its own.
"Sleeve Within the Cosmos."
He extended his right hand, and a continuous stream of lake water gushed from his palm, filling the Six-Foot Golden Body in an instant.
"Impossible! Your Sleeve Within the Cosmos stores water; it doesn't connect to a lake. You're just a newly created clone. When did you absorb the water...?"
Li Haoran paused mid-sentence, suddenly recalling Lu Yang's high-five with his clone.
Lu Yang must have stored the water in his palm before the battle and transferred it to the clone during the high-five.
He had been careless!
"Water Separation Technique!"
In three breaths, the lake water filling the Six-Foot Golden Body vanished, turning into hydrogen and oxygen!
With a bird's cry, golden flames flashed inside the Six-Foot Golden Body, and the resulting explosion caused cracks to appear inside.
"Goodness, Lu Yang's move packs quite a punch," Meng Jingzhou exclaimed. He understood that the smaller the explosion space, the greater the power.
"Not just that. The two gases Lu Yang separated seem to enhance the explosion," Tao Yaoye said seriously. A single True Fire of the Golden Bird shouldn't cause such an exaggerated explosion; there must be other factors at play.
"This must be the five-element spell combination the Transmission Elder mentioned," Man Gu said in awe. The Six-Foot Golden Body, wood clone, Water Separation Technique, true fire, and Shrink Earth—all five spells were used.
Lu Yang dispelled the Six-Foot Golden Body, revealing two charred corpses.
"Junior Brother Li, stop pretending. I saw you use a spell to escape earlier," Lu Yang said with a smile. He had been monitoring the Six-Foot Golden Body's movements the entire time.
Just before the explosion, Li Haoran had used a spell similar to body swapping, exchanging places with his clone.
Lu Yang had already detected a buried clone of Li Haoran with his divine sense. It must have been prepared secretly to ambush him, but it ended up being a lifesaver instead.
Thud!
A muffled sound came from behind Lu Yang as Li Haoran emerged from the ground.
"What terrifying power," Li Haoran said, still shaken. He knew that Lu Yang had held back; otherwise, he would have faced multiple True Fires of the Golden Bird and Samadhi True Fire.
"Still want to fight?" Lu Yang asked with a smile.
"Of course..." Li Haoran started to refuse to admit defeat, but he suddenly felt dizzy and stumbled, nearly falling.
"Poisoned... No, what is this?"
Li Haoran realized something was wrong with his body and couldn't continue fighting. But he hadn't felt any poison at all.
What was going on?
"Junior Brother Li, you may know that oxygen is essential for life, but you might not know that too much oxygen can cause dizziness and chest tightness."
"From the beginning of the battle, I've been using the Water Separation Technique to decompose the moisture in the air into hydrogen and oxygen. As the oxygen content increased, you naturally couldn't handle it."
"If you had observed more carefully, you would have noticed that I was holding my breath the entire time."
"So, do you still want to fight?"
"I concede."
