"Ugh, you're still a baby?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes, scoffing at his remark.

"What do you know?" Gold perched on Chu Mo's shoulder, urging, "Let's go! To the Human Layer, to the world of the Water Element of the Five Elements..."

"I already have the Water Element!"

"I'll help you find the essence of the Water Element!"

"But..."

"No more chit chat! Move!"

"Alright..."

....

The moment Zhuge Lang's second avatar disintegrated, his prime form, engaged in battle with Long Niu and Long Leopard, spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. With an incredulous look in his eyes, he roared to the heavens, "Who is it? Who dared to kill my second avatar?"

Bang!

As Zhuge Lang was swallowed by his furious roar, Long Leopard, swift as a bolt of lightning, suddenly landed a heavy palm blow squarely on his chest.

Splat!

Zhuge Lang immediately spat out more blood.

From the side, Long Niu swung his blade fiercely towards Zhuge Lang's shoulder. Its force was so immense that it tore through the void. Even a gigantic mountain would crumble under this blade!

Zhuge Lang's battle armor burst into dazzling light, several protective artifacts emitting radiant light to shield him.

Yet, he was still sent flying by Long Niu's sword, vomiting blood continuously in mid-air.

"Kill him!" Long Leopard growled at Long Niu.

"Kill!" Like a bone-chewing maggot, Long Niu charged directly at Zhuge Lang.

With his second avatar killed and his primordial spirit heavily damaged, Zhuge Lang dared not to continue combat with these two indeterminably powerful illusional realm beings. He instantly invoked a concealment technique and disappeared into the void.

Long Niu and Long Leopard stood somewhat frustratedly in place, their faces marked with regret.

Long Leopard mumbled, "The lady has killed his second avatar and heavily wounded his primordial spirit, yet he still managed to slip away from us."

Scratching his head, Long Niu replied in annoyance, "Indeed, it's helpless. Humans cultivators have too many tricks and are excessively cunning. He lucked out today. I estimate he will need at least a decade to recover!"

Long Leopard scoffed, "A decade? I don't think even twenty years is enough for him to recover. Heh heh, the lady was ruthless!"

"Enough talk, go back to your territory." Something seemed to cross Long Niu's mind, causing his expression to falter.

Long leopard glanced at Long Niu and suddenly laughed, "Actually... even if we never return, it doesn't matter."

"That's your opinion." Long Niu said, turning his back to leave. His robust silhouette appeared to be filled with loneliness.

Only after Long Niu's figure disappeared from his sight did Long Leopard gradually transform into a majestic leopard covered in silver scales, galloping away as a silver lightning bolt. However, a somber aura emanated from it, for reasons unknown.

In the Heavenly Realm, within a secret base belonging to the Zhuge Family.

Zhuge Lang abruptly opened his eyes and spat out several mouthfuls of blood; his entire spirit was withered.

Filled with hatred, he gritted his teeth and vowed, "Whoever it was that killed my second avatar... I will never let you go!"

He then retrieved several elixirs from his body and swallowed them. His complexion slightly improved, but his injuries were still critical. His second avatar was killed, and his primordial spirit was heavily wounded. Despite being in the Emperor Realm, it would take at least a decade for a full recovery.

The most agonizing and infuriating part for Zhuge Lang was the total annihilation of his second avatar, which was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. He would need hundreds of years to congeal another avatar of similar strength!

"This matter... must be related to that young man and the woman with the Gold Element physique!" Zhuge Lang gnashed his teeth in anger: "Don't let me find out who you are!"

The person capable of silently extinguishing a Heavenly Immortal Realm avatar couldn't be an insignificant character; they must at least have reached the Emperor Realm!

Although the number of powerful cultivators in the Heavenly Layer isn't small, it's not so vast that it is utterly uninvestigable.

Because of this, Zhuge Lang vowed to unmask this person!

"To all who are related to this matter... I, Zhuge Lang, swear to the heavens to obliterate your entire clan!" Zhuge Lang swore, his voice ringing out with profound hatred.

.....

At this moment, Chu Mo and Gold were walking within the mini-world of Water Element.

"That young lady, she's really an illusional realm spirit? But the illusional realm spirit I met was an old man..." Chu Mo found this strange. He felt that Gold knew something, but no matter how much he prodded, Gold refused to say anything.

"I say, stop asking already, really, that miss... we can't afford to mess with her! All you need to know is that she did indeed come to help you, she came just for you! As for the rest, she'll tell you when she's ready! If she doesn't want to talk, and I dare to spill the beans, she will definitely teach me a fierce lesson!" Gold spoke solemnly, and a look of fear was evident on its face each time it mentioned the young girl.

"You're an element spirit, so what if she teaches you a lesson? Do you even feel pain?" Chu Mo asked curiously.

"Nonsense, how can I not feel the pain?" Gold retorted angrily: "If you ask about this again, I won't help you find the essence of the Water Element!"

Chu Mo was immediately silenced.

Seeing that its threat worked on Chu Mo, Gold heaved a sigh of relief. It then guided Chu Mo through the mini-world of the Water Element, eventually reaching the core of the Water Element's dragon vein.

As soon as he entered the place, Chu Mo used the Fengshui Divine Art to deduce the coordinates, the result of which coincided with where Gold had led him!

Chu Mo could not help but admire the powerful Fengshui Divine Art in his heart. If he was at a supreme level and used this divine ability, he could probably use an entire star river for battle!

Without wasting time in small talk, Gold led Chu Mo directly into the space at the core of the Dragon Vein. There, stood another empty stone coffin.

"Wait for me here. I'll go in and negotiate with it. If there are no major issues, it should agree to come out with me." Saying so, Gold transformed into a streak of light and entered the stone coffin.

Chu Mo thought for a moment, and then sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

Not long after, a subtle vibration came from the stone coffin. At the same time, Gold's voice came, "I'm back."

Chu Mo opened his eyes to see a dashing young man, about three inches tall and wearing a light blue dress, standing next to Gold. If enlarged to a regular human size, he could surely charm legions of maiden hearts.

"I am the essence of the Water Element." The young man gave Chu Mo a slight smile. "Last time, I gave you three drops of Water Element. I didn't expect to see you again so soon, and even more surprising is that it's you. It must be fate."
