Upon entering the Water Ripple Barrier, Zhou Yu felt as if he was nestled in his mother's embrace — warm, solid, and powerful...

The area of the Water Ripple Barrier was roughly only about thirty square meters.

However, the inside was filled with extremely dense Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy.

It was even denser than when the Blood Gu Clan's ancestral land first opened.

In the center of this dense Earth Attribute Spiritual Energy realm floated an irregularly shaped clump of earth.

All the Spiritual Energy was astonishingly emanating from this clump of earth.

Zhou Yu's eyes shone as he stared at this clump of earth. Finally, after a long time, a look of intense shock appeared on his face.

"It's the Essence of Thick Earth!"

The so-called Thick Earth originates from the legend of Huang Tian's Thick Earth. It is said that at the dawn of the ages, when Pangu split heaven and earth, an abundance of dust was generated in the world.

Huang Tian, being a master of the world, used his great power to gather the dust of heaven and earth, forming the nine provinces.

And the Thick Earth was the essence of the land of these nine provinces condensed.

Of course, these are all legends.

Nevertheless, the Thick Earth is indeed a holy object of the Earth Attribute among the Five Elements.

By devouring this realm of Thick Earth, Zhou Yu could obtain Thick Earth True Qi, thus gathering all Five Elements Zhenqi and achieving the state of Five Elements Unity through Tai Chu Skill.

According to the old man, after achieving Five Elements Unity, True Qi would undergo earth-shattering changes.

However, the old man didn't explain in detail, so Zhou Yu didn't know.

Right now, with the opportunity for Five Elements Unity before his eyes, Zhou Yu was naturally eager to proceed.

He immediately flew over and, standing before the Essence of Thick Earth, directly activated Tai Chu Skill and began devouring.

As the Essence of Thick Earth entered his body.

Boom!

A dazzling earthy-yellow glow spread throughout Zhou Yu's body.

Wherever this earthy-yellow glow reached, Zhou Yu's blood vessels, meridians, and bones seemed to be coated with a hard shell.

At this moment, Zhou Yu felt an incredibly powerful and endless force coursing through his body.

Although Zhou Yu was filled with excitement and joy, he forcibly suppressed these emotions, striving to remain calm to avoid any accidents during the devouring process.

Seconds ticked by.

The four monsters outside had overturned all the ground on the entire island but still had not found any trace of Zhou Yu.

Similarly, Huang Yu and Chu Xudong were both anxious and angry.

They were itching to rush in and find him, but feared this might be a trap Zhou Yu had set.

It was known that the lightless trapping immortal formation was difficult to break only because its formation foundation was on Huang Yu.

As long as Huang Yu was outside the formation, the formation would have no flaws and be indestructible.

But if he entered the formation and was discovered by Zhou Yu, who then destroyed the formation foundation, the grand formation would be instantly shattered.

Therefore, no matter how anxious he felt, he had to endure and wait outside.

He didn't believe Zhou Yu would remain absent forever.

...

Within the water ripple barrier below the island.

The Thick Earth True Qi that had filled the Water Ripple Barrier was completely devoured, and Zhou Yu was suspended in mid-air, sitting cross-legged, with faint earthy-yellow waves emanating from his body.

The Essence of Thick Earth had been fully absorbed by him.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering change occurring within Zhou Yu's dantian.

The originally four types of True Qi in his dantian each occupied a region, unrelated to one another.

However, with the entry of Thick Earth True Qi, under the effect of Tai Chu Skill, the four types of True Qi started rotating rapidly.

The five types of True Qi, in the blink of an eye, formed a tornado-like shape.

At the same time, Tai Chu Skill underwent a mutation.

The power of Tai Chu Skill transformed into gray streams of air, continuously pouring into the dantian.

Seeing these gray streams, Zhou Yu immediately recalled that this was the same kind of air stream that appeared when he killed Luo Zhentian in an instant in the past.

In Zhou Yu's astonished gaze, he saw that the five types of True Qi in the dantian were gradually beginning to fuse.

Seeing this, a look of delight appeared in Zhou Yu's eyes.

"Could this be what the old man meant by Five Elements Unity? Is it really this simple?"

Zhou Yu could hardly believe his eyes.

Just as he was overjoyed, suddenly, the gradually fusing True Qi whirlwind quivered, and instantly the balance of the five types of True Qi was disrupted.

In an instant, Zhou Yu's dantian fell into utter chaos.

Pfft!

Zhou Yu's face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This is bad."

"Something must have gone wrong; the Five Elements Unity has failed."

This was no joke.

If the five types of True Qi exploded within him, it would blow him to smithereens, leaving no bones behind.

Zhou Yu immediately tried to activate Tai Chu Skill forcefully to balance the five types of True Qi.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the five types of True Qi became increasingly chaotic and uncontrollable, like unruly brats.

"Am I about to destroy myself?" Zhou Yu shouted anxiously.

Just then.

The Soul Bead, which had been dormant in his Sea of Consciousness for long, suddenly jolted.

Then, astonishingly, the Soul Bead left his Sea of Consciousness and headed straight for his dantian.

Witnessing this, Zhou Yu was both anxious and frustrated.

His dantian was already chaotic, and now this thing joined the fray at such a crucial moment.

He wanted to block it, but he had absolutely no means to intercept it.

Ever since the Soul Bead had entered his Sea of Consciousness, it had never been under his control.

Zhou Yu watched helplessly as the Soul Bead entered his dantian.

However, in the instant the Soul Bead entered his dantian, something even more bizarre happened...
