The lord of the Element Temple looked at Daniel and spoke.
To him, Daniel had already reached the end of his path.
So, there was no harm in saying a few more words.
It was an opportunity to witness the desperation on Daniel's face, as he desperately tried to survive but still couldn't break through the 5 Elements Grand Array.
Just thinking of this, the Element Temple lord sneered inwardly.
"Why waste time talking to this guy? Hurry up and refine him!" a burly man urged.
At this point, the burly man wanted nothing more than to kill Daniel immediately.
The 5 Elements refining technique—life and death, the cycle of the universe—one could either refine forward with the flow of the elements or reverse it to return to the primordial state.
In that moment, Daniel felt the energy of the reverse 5 Elements Grand Array surrounding him, pulling everything toward an ultimate state of dissolution.
