Chapter 56
: Double Critical Hit Returns to Nanming Li Huo!
Two completely different flames collided violently in mid-air.
Chi Chi Chi!
The Nine Nether Flames, which the Medicine Venerable was so proud of, trembled in fear before the sacred phoenix phantom, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
The white fire python instantly disintegrated, devoured and burned by the Phoenix True Fire, turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating.
"This...this is Phoenix True Fire, how is this possible?"
The Medicine Master let out a terrified scream, his face turning deathly pale instantly.
He never expected that he would see the legendary Phoenix True Fire in this remote eastern wasteland.
The Phoenix True Fire continued its relentless advance. After defeating the Nine Netherworld Flames, it clung to Xiao Fan's body like a leech, drawn by the surrounding energy.
"ah."
Xiao Fan's body was instantly enveloped in crimson flames, which not only scorched his physical body but also burned away the power of his soul.
The Medicine Venerable felt as if his remnant soul was being roasted in a pill-refining furnace, and the pain drove him almost mad.
"Escape! We must escape!"
The last glimmer of hope in the Medicine Master's heart was completely shattered.
He no longer cared about the fire, nor about the precious thousand-year-old blood bodhi.
"Blood Escape Technique".
With a determined effort, he burned most of Xiao Fan's essence and blood, transforming himself into a fierce streak of blood-red light. At an incredible speed, he forcefully broke through the encirclement of the Phoenix True Fire.
Lu Xueyao watched the receding streak of blood-red light but did not give chase.
She knew that this old devil had many tricks up his sleeve, and if she fought back desperately, she might not come out on top.
Her gaze fell upon the center of the fire spring.
There, as the Blood River Ancestor's heart shattered, a translucent crimson flame floated silently.
In the center of the Fire Spring, a blood-red spiritual plant was emitting an alluring fragrance.
Thousand-year-old blood bodhi.
Nanming Lihuo.
"They all belong to Master."
Lu Xueyao smiled and carefully put the two treasures into the jade box.
……
Outside the Fallen Demon Valley, at the gap in the formation.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, suspended in the void, his expression serene.
Just then, two pleasant system notification sounds rang in his mind one after another.
[Ding! Successfully intercepted the blue opportunity of the Chosen One Xiao Fan, the Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi, triggering a 100x critical strike return: 100 Thousand-Year Blood Bodhis and 100 Destiny Points.]
[Ding! Successfully intercepted the purple-grade opportunity of the Chosen One Xiao Fan, the Li Fire, triggering a thousand-fold critical hit and returning the Nanming Li Fire. Reward: 1000 Destiny Points.]
boom!
Within Lu Yuan's Purple Mansion, a pure and flawless vermilion flame was born out of thin air.
The flame, shaped like a vermilion bird, exudes a righteous aura that purifies all the filth in the world.
As soon as it appeared, it resonated with the Phoenix True Fire and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire within Lu Yuan's body.
The interplay of the three different flames allowed Lu Yuan's understanding of the laws of fire to rise once again.
With the blessing of his innate Dao body on his understanding of the laws, and the enhancement of his pure Yang Dao body on the laws of fire, his comprehension of the laws of fire reached perfection almost instantly.
In the next instant, he suddenly leaped forward, and the Law of Fire naturally broke through to the third stage of transformation.
"Looks like Xueyao has succeeded."
Lu Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of relief flashing in them.
Just now.
Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly, and he turned his gaze to the distant void.
He received a secret telepathic message from Su Yueli.
"My lord, Yan Nantian and the others have been lured into the Dragon-Trapping Valley by the Blood God Child and are unable to escape in a short time."
"Shi Qianhan, the Third Elder of the Blood God Sect, is leading me and the Venerable Annihilation of the Myriad Souls Hall, carrying the supreme spiritual treasure, the Myriad Spirit Blood River Map, to ambush and kill my husband. Our intention is to launch a coordinated attack from within and without, forcibly breaking the seal of the Fallen Demon Valley."
"A top-grade spiritual treasure?"
A playful smile curved Lu Yuan's lips.
Top-grade spiritual treasures are magic weapons corresponding to powerful cultivators in the Void Refinement stage, containing the complete power of the Four Transformation Laws.
If it were an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, facing three opponents of the same level wielding such powerful treasures, they would likely perish on the spot.
But Lu Yuan was no ordinary person.
"Perfect timing, I'm just missing a top-grade spiritual treasure."
Lu Yuan slowly stood up, his robes fluttering even without wind.
He did not flee, but instead hovered quietly above the gap in the formation, cutting off all paths of escape.
A moment later.
Three incredibly powerful auras, like dark clouds pressing down overhead, rolled in from the horizon.
The leader, dressed in a blood-red robe, had a withered face and eyes that seemed to hold a churning sea of blood. He was none other than Shi Qianhan, the third elder of the Blood God Sect.
His cultivation had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he was only one step away from the Void Refinement stage.
To his left was the Vice Hall Master of the Myriad Souls Hall, Venerable Annihilation, shrouded in black mist and exuding a chilling aura.
On the right is Su Yueli, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, dressed in purple, with a thin veil over her face and a graceful figure.
The three of them formed a triangular shape, surrounding Lu Yuan completely.
"Lu Yuan".
Shi Qianhan stopped a hundred feet away, staring coldly at Lu Yuan, his voice hoarse and grating.
"I acknowledge that you have some tricks up your sleeve, but today, the three of us have come together, and we have brought with us the most precious treasure of our religion."
"If you know what's good for you, obediently step aside and submit to my Blood God Cult. Perhaps when our patriarch is reborn, he might grant you a chance. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
The Venerable One of Annihilation also let out a sinister laugh.
"Lu Yuan, although you are strong, you have only just entered the Nascent Soul stage. I advise you not to make a mistake. If the three of us join forces, we can kill you as easily as slaughtering a dog."
Only Su Yueli, though outwardly appearing murderous, harbored a subtle tenderness and submissiveness deep within her gaze as she looked at Lu Yuan.
Despite the threats from the three, Lu Yuan's expression remained completely unchanged.
He merely glanced at the three of them, his gaze finally settling on the ancient scroll in Shi Qianhan's hand, which exuded a strong stench of blood.
"Supreme spiritual treasure, the Blood River Diagram of Myriad Spirits."
Lu Yuan chuckled softly.
"The item is nice, but unfortunately, it's been given the wrong owner."
"Arrogant."
Shi Qianhan was furious.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish. Make your move."
At his command, the three attacked simultaneously.
Shi Qianhan suddenly threw the scroll in his hand.
Splash!
A sound like a surging river resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The Myriad Spirits Blood River Map swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a blood-red river stretching for tens of thousands of feet, lying across the void.
Countless ferocious blood spirits roared in the river, and an extremely dense fluctuation of the law of blood instantly spread out.
"Blood River Domain, open."
Shi Qianhan let out a low shout and frantically formed hand seals, pouring all his magical power into the image.
At the same time, Su Yueli and Venerable Miesheng, as previously agreed, poured their own magical power into this top-grade spiritual treasure without reservation.
While top-grade spiritual treasures possess immense power, their consumption is also terrifying. Only by gathering the power of three Nascent Soul cultivators can their full potential be unleashed.
hum!
With the support of three immense forces, the Myriad Spirits Blood River Diagram was completely revived.
The once illusory river of blood seemed to become real at this moment.
The entire area within a hundred miles was instantly dyed crimson.
This is a complete realm constructed from the laws of the four transformations of blood—the Crimson Purgatory.
