Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Swish!
ng Nong’s body sped up. One of his fists glowed golden and then turned into an eagle’s claw. A gold aura surrounded it. In a flash, ng Nong tore up the air around him with his claw. There was an ear-piercing sound.
“Right now!”
Jiang Yi’s narrow eyes burst wide open. A huge stone furnace appeared in his hand. It looked unassuming and weak. The dao patterns on top of it, however, stirred. To everyone around it, the furnace looked extrely primitive.
“An ancient artifact, retre—”
Everyone in the Snow Region belonged to an ancient sect. They were all familiar with ancient artifacts. ng Nong himself had one. The feeling that Jiang Yi’s ancient artifact gave ng Nong was a strange one. In his heart, he knew that his life was in danger. Instinctively, therefore, ng Nong retreated.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi’s essence force and star sphere force had been gathered already. He channeled them all into the Slting Divine Furnace. The dao patterns on the furnace lit up. Faintly, they saw runic patterns appear. The runic patterns and mysterious images began to flicker. A frightening air covered the area.
“Flee!”
The scouts and martial artists watching the battle flew away in fright. Huo Yan’s eyes widened as he shouted, “The Slting Divine Furnace! This is the Fire God’s Slting Divine Furnace! Quick, run!”
The Fire God has existed since ancient tis. Nobody was his match ever since then. Since the Fire Chi Race bent fire, they were familiar with the Fire God. They had even heard of this Slting Divine Furnace since a long ti ago.
Huo Yan was sure that Jiang Yi had already activated the first layer of Nine Heaven True Flas. It was obvious that he was trying to activate the second layer of Nirvana Flas now. Once he did that, everyone within a five-kiloter-radius of the furnace would perish.
“This is?”
Mantis Blade and Mo Shen, who had been battling three kiloters underground suddenly stopped. Mantis Blade had gotten hold of Qiu Shan’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring, and Mo Shen was hounding him without any intention of letting him go. Suddenly, both of them felt an aura belonging to an ancient artifact. They imdiately stopped fighting and headed further underground. Mantis Blade used his wind blades to break apart the soil while Mo Shen’s hands turned into claws with a flash of light. The two of them dug deeper and deeper like Earth Dragons.
Shit... I worked so hard to obtain so star sphere essence force. Now, I’ve expended it all on this furnace, and it’s still not activated?
Everyone was afraid, but Jiang Yi was cursing under his breath. He had already consud all of his star sphere essence force, but the second level of the Slting Divine Furnace was still not activated? If he suddenly quieted down now and put on a bluff, ng Nong and the others would see through him for sure. Even if he would be able to use Heaven Evasion then, he would still erge empty-handed.
“No way! I must activate the Nirvana Flas!”
His heart was pounding, and the cogs in his mind were turning at rapid sweet. At last, he figured out a so-called solution. Was this Slting Divine Furnace not a fire-elental treasure? He could try to push flas in to make it look like the Slting Divine Furnace had been activated!
Tsk! Tsk!
His Fire Spirit Pearl lit up. There was still so Thunder Fire inside it, as well as Earth fire from the Lava Lake, and the Fire Snake Dance which he had absorbed from Huo Yan earlier. He pushed all of these flas into the Slting Divine Furnace. At the sa ti, he used the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno technique to change his essence force into the Nine Heavens Dragon Flas. Once again, he channeled it all into the Slting Divine Furnace.
Buzz!
Surprisingly, all this work actually activated the furnace!
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up imdiately. He pushed his hands out and caused the Slting Divine Furnace to fly up into the air. Mid-way up, the dao patterns moved out of the way quickly and the furnace grew significantly until it was several hundred ters big. It looked just like a palace had popped up in mid-air.
As the Slting Divine Furnace flew up, black flas descended. The black flas turned into a black dragon, which turned one full circle with a radius of about five kiloters. Everything in its path turned to ash.
“Ah—”
There were countless cries of pain. The Nirvana Flas were far too hot. It entered the masses’ divine shields, causing their bodies to burn up imdiately. Blood spurt out all over the place, and the people’s essence force was greatly reduced as well. Many other divine shields fell apart, and bodies caught fire. All the martial artists within a five-kiloter-radius were burned to death.
“No, no!”
ng Nong ran as far as three kiloters, but this distance proved useless. The mont the Nirvana Flas appeared, his essence force got ssed up. He watched as his own divine shield fell apart, and his body caught flas.
“This, this...”
Huo Yan did slightly better because he bent fire himself. He had built so kind of resistance toward these flas. It was a pity that his fire-bending skills were not good enough. His essence force got quite affected as well. His divine shield managed to hang in there for about three seconds before it burst into flas as well. What surprised Jiang Yi the most was that after Huo Yan’s divine shield exploded, his body did not catch flas. Instead, he gritted his teeth and managed to hang on.
Swish!
With ng Nong dead, killing one more person did not matter that much to Jiang Yi. With a single hand, he re-summoned the Astral Winds and gathered two more Astral Wind Blades. The blades shot toward Huo Yan. This ti, Huo Yan could not fend himself against them any longer. His fiery red armor fell apart, and blood flowed out of the wounds on his body.
Tsk tsk~!
The Nirvana Flas were far too aggressive. All the ice within the five-kiloter-radius had lted as well. Billows of water vapor rose up into the air, causing the entire place to look like a foggy region. It was exceptionally spectacular.
Ss, ss...
Several km away, many warriors at the base of the Dwarf Mountain watched on in shock. They were so far away, but they all felt the heat waves from the Nirvana Flas. They looked at all the ice lted on the ground and then looked up at the clouds of water vapor. Their eyes reflected pure terror. Even the Mantis Blade Sect and the dwarfs, who had been engaged in an intense battle, stopped fighting. All of their eyes were locked on the east side.
“What’s happening?”
A bad feeling washed over Cao Duantian. He heard a loud crash from where ng Nong dealt his blow earlier. He knew that Jiang Yi had appeared. The Demigods had taken action.
What he failed to understand was how Jiang Yi could not be killed off despite the fact that several Demigods were working together. Why was there such a big commotion happening over there as well?
“Older Brother, what’s happened?”
Cao Shishui was dressed in white robes. She sprinted out of the palace and watched the fog from the distance. Her vision was hindered by the fog; she could almost see an immortal landing on the mortal world from heaven.
Cao Duantian turned to glance at her and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. Even if sothing has happened, it has happened to Jiang Yi. Without a doubt, he will die today.”
“They’re all dead? What are those flas? Could ng Nong not hang on for even two seconds?”
Six kiloters below where Jiang Yi was standing, Mantis Blade sensed what had just happened above ground. His eyes widened. Despite the distance he was from ground level, he felt the impact of the flas. His blood pressure rose, and he felt like his entire body was burning up. His essence force stirred.
He ranked third in terms of fighting prowess in the entire Snow Region. Naturally, his attacks were extrely aggressive, and his speed was frightening. However, he had one weakness. He was not as good at defending himself as ng Nong was. That was why he knew he would have been burnt alive had he been above ground earlier.
“Flee!”
He turned around without much hesitation. Jiang Yi was from the East Imperial Continent. He ca all the way to Snow Region to cause a commotion and even managed to kill three Demigods. This would shake the Heaven Hidden Sect for sure. The Sacred Highness of the Heaven Hidden Sect would co out and do sothing about this. Even if she did not, there was still the one who always bragged about being the second-best in the entire Snow Region—Curmudgeon Cao.
Tsk! Tsk!
He shot out wind blades toward the soil in front of him, trying his best to get to the Dwarf Mountain as fast as he could.
“Aggressive!”
Mo Shen, who was also in the depths of the ground, understood what just happened as well. This rascal Jiang Yi had killed five Demigods on Stupa Mountain earlier. Now, he has killed three in the Snow Region as well? He really was an unlucky star.
“Why didn’t he go up to the Dwarf Mountain directly in the first place? Why did he make things so complicated and take on so much risk?”
Mo Shen did not understand that Jiang Yi lacked the star sphere essence force in the past and had no ans at all to activate the Slting Divine Furnace. That was why he was feeling confused at this mont. However, his confusion quickly turned to shock when he felt the figure underground rush upward like a crazed dragon. His divine senses locked on to Jiang Yi imdiately, and he shouted: “Rascal, quick, use Heaven Evasion! Curmudgeon Cao is coming!”
“Run—”
Jiang Yi retracted the Slting Divine Furnace after hearing Mo Shen’s voice transmission. He imdiately broke through the air and used Heaven Evasion.
Yet!
A low voice traveled from underground, causing the ground to shake. It was almost like there was a great earthquake appearing. The soil where Jiang Yi had been standing broke apart, and a huge hand cut through the air to drag Jiang Yi out of the opening in the air that he had just entered.
