Chapter 107 Brilliant Spiritual Fire

Compared with the Kaiyang City in the past, the city's appearance has changed dramatically. Many buildings have melted into flaming golden rocks. The Kaiyang Temple in the center seems to be caught in a blazing fire, shining with metallic light under the sunlight. The entire city has turned into a flaming palace.

Ju stood beside the temple. His broken left arm had not recovered and his former domineering demeanor was gone.

The city mobilized troops and gathered in large groups. It turned out that the lava stone people and ruby ​​people from the Strange Stone Mountain had all arrived here, and they faced the people outside the city as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

A large number of meteors in the sky dropped to the ground with purple-red tails and turned into shiny and crystal diamond men outside the city. Their color was a mysterious smoky purple, which was different from the past.

The last meteorite was extremely huge, and it stopped in mid-air, transforming into a cold black-robed giant that slowly fell to the ground. It was a thousand meters tall, more majestic than the lava giant, and exuded a majestic aura, faintly suppressing the torch, almost making it unable to move.

The ancient existence in the Flame Demon Palace could not ignore the other party's provocation, and flew out from the former temple. It was Jiong Huang. He stood on the top of the majestic city and said loudly: "I wonder which god of the Sun Chaser is here to visit?"

The black-robed giant said casually: "It's just a swimming duck, its name is not worth mentioning."

Jiong Huang knew that the other party was definitely not a good person, so he shouted, "Youfu Divine Lord has come to the city today, what do you want to do?"

You Fu stared down at Jiong Huang and suggested, "I have heard for a long time that the ancient god Jiong Huang is famous in Qiongqi Continent for possessing brilliant spiritual fire. He is called the Lord of Brilliance and the Stone Witch of Flame. I admire him and would like to borrow him to contemplate for a few days."

Jiong Huang said hurriedly: "No, no, there is absolutely no such thing."

You Fu sneered and said, "I am treating you with courtesy. Do you really want to force me into a war?"

"No means no." Jiong Huang waved his hand like a commander and roared, "The enemy country is full of foreign aggression and is eyeing us covetously. Are you just here to watch the fun? I have raised you in vain. Come on, come on."

The war began, and tens of thousands of Lava Stone Men swarmed out of the city, charging towards the thousand-plus Purple Diamond Men, seemingly having an absolute advantage in numbers.

The team of purple diamond people moved closer to each other, stretched out their hands, and emitted purple electric currents, forming rolling thunderclouds that filled the sky, sweeping electric light downwards, continuously hitting the attacking lava stone people, and suddenly sparks flew and gravel flew everywhere.

This technique is very famous, named "Thunder Purple Lightning". By increasing the number of people to form a network formation, the power can be accumulated and increased. Although there are many enemies, none of them can get close to cause a threat.

You Fu shook his head and said, "Lava Stone Men are just good soldiers. If they kill ordinary city-states and tribes, they can do whatever they want. How can they be compared with my army? Has Lord Jionghuang been sealed for too long and has forgotten how to deploy troops and fight?"

Jiong Huang said angrily: "You are bullying me because my soldiers are inferior to yours. How can this be justified? Torch, break up their formation."

The lava giant strode forward and shouted, "Raging Red Lotus." He performed a powerful secret technique and exploded among the enemy crowd.

Flames suddenly erupted from the ground, and sparks bloomed like red lotuses. Some of the Purple Diamond Men were blown all over the sky, and the Thunder Purple Electric Net was forced to open a large gap. The Lava Stone Men took the opportunity to rush into the Purple Diamond Men's camp in groups and fight them in close combat.

Even so, the Lava Man had no advantage.

Those purple diamond men were taller than the blue diamond men, more than six meters in length, with broad shoulders and strong waists, and they seemed like killing machines with extraordinary combat power. In close combat, they were like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Wherever they went, the lava stone men were like fallen apart, with their limbs flying everywhere. In a blink of an eye, they were torn into pieces, and their remains fell to the ground and squirmed, and were crushed to pieces.

You Fu said with a smile: "We are both chess pieces, but my chess piece is much more important than yours. Do you want to admit defeat, Ancient God Jionghuang?"

Jiong Huang gnashed his teeth and roared, "Everyone, come on, kill them." He raised his legs and rushed to a purple diamond man.

Although he was called an ancient god, his physique was not exaggerated. He was only slightly taller than a lava man and barely reached the physique threshold of a large humanoid race. However, he slapped a sub-giant purple diamond man into pieces with one slap, and the broken limbs flew far away.

The morale was boosted at once, and Jionghuang simply led the troops to charge in all directions. More stone men rushed out of the Flame Demon Palace, each led by a team of lava stone men. The soldiers were organized in an orderly manner, and there were tens of thousands of them in total.

You Fu snorted coldly and said, "You are so shameless. If I, a great Divine Lord, cannot deal with a mere Lord like you, then you have no place in the vast sea of ​​stars."

He locked onto Jiong Huang, stretched out his finger and quickly pointed, and a majestic Ice Soul Sword that was more than a mile long stabbed out. The sword energy crossed the sky, penetrated the earth, and slashed towards the opponent.

Jionghuang let out a strange cry and leaped up. His physique was so strong that he could easily escape gravity. He stepped on the air and ascended into the clouds, rising into the sky like a blazing fireball, heading towards the Bingpo Sword. He swung his fist and smashed the huge ice sword into pieces, sending ice chips flying everywhere.

"The Lord of Glory is indeed worthy of his name. It is rare for me to have an enemy in a fight. Please don't end it too quickly."

After You Fu finished speaking, he tapped the air with his fingers, and a bigger Ice Soul Sword came stabbing at him. Jiong Huang's fist whistled like a cloud dragon rising to the sky, breaking the ice sword again, and then more giant swords followed.

Jiong Huang roared wildly: "No matter how many gates you open with your sword, what can you do to me?"

You Fu sneered, "I am not a Heavenly Sword, how can I open the Heavenly Gate? You have been fooled."

The shattered ice debris surrounded Jiong Huang, and instead of dispersing, it suddenly gathered towards him, and the icy air increased dramatically, covering and freezing his entire body. Jiong Huang was caught off guard and was trapped in it, frozen into a huge ice ball in the air.

You Fu sneered, "It's the Ice Soul Sword in public, and the Ice Purgatory in secret. How can a mere master escape this fate?"

He raised his hand and stabbed out seven times in a row with the Ice Soul Sword. With the sound of "ding ding ding" constantly ringing in his ears, he pierced through the ice ball one after another and nailed into it. The sword energy swirled around and cut the immobile target into eight pieces.

You Fu waved his hand, and the ice ball slowly flew over and stopped in front of him. The seven Bingpo Swords spun a few circles and cut the ice. Jionghuang was chopped into pieces, and the ancient god was defeated.

In the extreme cold of the Ice Purgatory, only a cluster of pale golden flames remained intact, sometimes visible, sometimes invisible, not willing to be outdone by the cold, still burning slowly, as if eternal and immortal.

"We have the Brilliant Spiritual Fire." You Fu was satisfied. He took away the source of the divine fire and issued an order: "This battle is over. The entire army will retreat, rest for a while, and then move to Yuheng City."

The remaining purple diamond men reorganized into Thunder and Purple Lightning, and swept around randomly, beating the Stoneman Legion to pieces and causing them to be in disarray. When the scene became quiet, a large group of meteors had already risen into the sky and flew towards the east.

The battle did not last long, but it was earth-shattering. When Cheng Bai arrived nearby, he saw You Fu looking very proud from afar, taking away the source of the divine fire and leaving.

Cheng Bai was worried that his whereabouts would be discovered by the other party, so he landed on the ground from a long distance away and tiptoed towards Kaiyang City with the Smoker.

"That guy's name is You Fu. It seems like he got some benefit from us. Could it be that he stole the Brilliant Spiritual Fire first?" Cheng Bai was a little doubtful.

Shi Chi whispered, "No matter how much more benefit he gets, he won't be able to take away the brilliant spiritual fire."

Li Tong said softly: "If the brilliant spiritual fire leaves this place, the flames in Kaiyang City should be extinguished. That is the embodiment of the power of the divine fire source."

Shi Chi laughed and said, "Not many people know about this. In order to prevent others from getting their hands on the source of the divine fire, Shi Qi compiled a book called "Miscellaneous Notes on Rare Spiritual Objects in Qiongqi Continent" and circulated it on the continent. The description of the characteristics of the brilliant spiritual fire was half true and half false. If others used this as a basis, it would be difficult for them to distinguish."

Cheng Bai understood immediately: "What You Fu saw was a trick."

Seeing You Fu moving away, Ju in the Flame Demon Palace felt less stressed, breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.

In the distance, the Frost Dragon King flew past quickly and flew towards Ju. The knight on the dragon's back was Mo Ruo.

The ancient god is dead and his lair is empty. How can we let go of such a great opportunity?

Cheng Bai had a keen eye and could see it clearly. He asked curiously, "Could it be that Mo Ruo is also interested in the Brilliant Spiritual Fire?"

Li Tong smiled and said, "The Divine Fire Source is one of the most precious treasures in Qiongqi Continent. How could the Ming Wang of Shanhui City miss it?"

Cheng Baiqi asked, "He was chasing that torch. Did he find any flaws?"

Shi Chi pointed out: "Jiong Huang is an ancient god after all, he won't die so easily, he must have a backup plan, my lord, just wait and see and decide."

Mo Ruo stared at the torch from high in the sky and shouted, "Where did that old monster hide the brilliant spiritual fire?"

Ju angrily shouted, "A blind man begging for food? Didn't you see that the black old dog snatched it away?"

Mo Ruo said complacently: "You can fool others, but you can't fool me. The family tradition of treasure appraisal is very accurate. The place where the brilliant spiritual fire is is like being bathed in golden flames. It is clearly hidden somewhere here. How dare you deceive me that I have no eyes?"

Ju did not argue with him. He clenched his huge fist, condensed lava fireballs and threw them at Moro one after another. The Frost Dragon King was caught off guard and dodged in a hurry.

Li Tong revealed the truth: "It is not easy to make a fake brilliant spiritual fire. It requires some materials closely related to the brilliant spiritual fire, and the owner has to sacrifice a wisp of his soul. It can only deceive for a dozen days at most. Jionghuang is really willing to make full preparations."

Cheng Bai recalled the day when Jiong Huang went deep into the belly of Danding Mountain, and suddenly realized: "He went there to collect materials that day. He is truly a treacherous hero."

While dodging in the sky, Mo Ruo took out a round treasure from the Sumeru mustard seed on his chest. It grew as the wind blew and in the blink of an eye it had a diameter of hundreds of meters, like a giant eyeball suspended in the sky, with a cold metallic light in its pupils.

Cheng Bai was surprised and said, "The Eye of Defeat, Mo Ruo still has such a treasure hidden. He didn't take it out in the Jinyu Tianfu the day before yesterday."

Li Tong said: "The Eye of Defeat is a supreme spiritual weapon, more powerful than the Blood Spirit Ruyi, but it is heavy and difficult to control. It was useless when I took it out the day before yesterday. Today's siege is very suitable. It seems that he is determined to obtain the Brilliant Spirit Fire."

Mo Ruo shouted in the air: "If you don't hand over the treasure, I will destroy this city with the Eye of Defeat."

The lava fireball thrown from high altitude approached the Eye of Defeat within a thousand meters, triggering the treasure's defense mechanism. The Eye of Defeat swept away, and the lava fireball scattered like sparks, and the attack could not get close.

Ju stared at the eyes of defeat that were bigger than his own. Knowing that something was wrong, he stopped throwing the lava fireballs and cursed, "How can this be justified? You are such an ambitious person. You are bullying me too much."

It simply leaned in front of the Kaiyang Temple, sat cross-legged with its eyes closed, stretched its one-armed giant hand to its chest, formed a seal, and muttered something.

Mo Ruo said angrily: "You monster dare to resist, I will annihilate you." He activated the Eye of Defeat to increase its power. Suddenly, the huge eyeball exuded a terrible sense of oppression, as if Mount Tai was about to fall on top of his head, and a powerful force gathered in the pupil ready to be unleashed.

Cheng Bai speculated: "When this treasure concentrates its power, its destructive attack may be no less powerful than a high-yield thermonuclear missile, and even more terrifying than the meteorite that fell that day."

Shi Chi said: "It's okay, I'm here to protect you. The Eye of Defeat is just a spiritual weapon, and the Annihilation Gaze can't hurt the master, but Kaiyang City cannot be safe."

Li Tong reminded: "That lava giant is weird, maybe he can withstand it."

Cheng Bai sensed the power of all things and said in surprise: "The energy of the earth's core is different. The torch is absorbing the fire of the earth's core."

The flames all over Torch suddenly surged, changing from scarlet red to light gold, and he roared, "Divine Power Earth Fire." He raised his head and glared at the other party. The golden light shot straight into the sky, meeting a ray of black light from the annihilation gaze of the Eye of Defeat.

In the air several hundred meters above the ground, an ultra-giant disc-shaped halo interwoven with golden and black light appeared. It had no thickness and instantly spread outward to a radius of thirty miles before disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The buildings left over from Kaiyang City on the ground were in ruins, as if they had just experienced hundreds of years of weathering. Large numbers of lava stone people and groups of ruby ​​people were staggering to and fro, unable to get up.

The Kaiyang Temple's building height was reduced by half. In front of it was the huge body of Ju sitting firmly cross-legged, as if he had used up all his strength and could not move. His head to shoulders had melted, but his body below the chest was still intact, with half of a metallic skeleton exposed upwards.

The Eye of Defeat in the air was not in much better condition. Only half of the huge sphere was left facing the sky, and the bottom was severely damaged, exposing the metal skeleton and extremely complex and wonderful structure inside.

The skin and flesh of the Frost Dragon King melted away, turning into half a skeleton. He and the remains of the Eye of Defeat swayed in the air, then fell straight down, hitting the ground with a loud bang. The loud sound like a huge bell shook the earth, and smoke and dust rose in the surroundings.

Although the Shengjin Pagoda looks small in size, no matter the damage from light, heat, sound, or smoke, none of them can invade the area within a dozen meters that it covers. Cheng Bai and Yan Gui are safe and sound, and they can even hide and be unknown to others.

"Amazing. At that moment, the place where the halo reached reached nuclear heat temperature, comparable to the core of the sun, tens of millions of degrees. The huge temperature difference triggered a shock wave, and the killing range was nearly 500 miles. All living things around were killed instantly... The equivalent was tens of millions of tons, right? It doesn't necessarily take that much energy, because the energy utilization rate is much higher than that of thermonuclear reactions. It is accurate, fast, and environmentally friendly."

Cheng Baile was anxiously assessing the power of this move, as if he was the one who had used it.

The Smoker whispered, "Is that the inner elixir from the lava giant?"

Cheng Bai looked over hurriedly. The flying dust outside the protection of the Shengjin Pagoda gradually dissipated, and he saw a cluster of light golden flames slowly rising from the exposed chest skeleton of Ju, exactly the same as the one that You Fu had just taken away.

Shi Chi said: "It's not the inner elixir, that's the real brilliant spiritual fire, it turns out to be hidden in the body of the torch... Hey, that's not right, there's something wrong with this lava giant."
