Chapter 453: Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shi Zhong

Random Recommendation:

Charge! Charge! Charge!The stone sphere plunged headfirst into the sea of fire, pressing ever onward without hesitation.The Fire of Lifelessness consumes vitality as fuel, suppressing a myriad of living beings. But the Old Monster in Stone is already dead.The flames burned the corpse of the Old Monster in Stone; naturally, they could not harm the stone sphere in the slightest.The Myriad-Mile Roaming Dragon was merely a construct of mechanisms, entirely devoid of life.However, the two individuals, Sun and Ning, within the mechanical dragon, the Dragon-Electrical Fire Spirit, and numerous spirit plants and spirit beasts, were all imbued with life.Therefore, Ning Zhuo was channeling his full effort into casting spells.He unleashed fire, controlling fire with fire!His attainment in the Five Elements, being at least at the Grandmaster level, allowed him to swiftly comprehend the Fire of Lifelessness, and he instantly devised spells on the spot, maintaining his safety in a short time.Yet, merely achieving this was still insufficient.This was due to the fact that this sea of fire contained not only the Fire of Lifelessness, but also the might of the Heart-Attacking Urgent Fire Art.The closer Sun and Ning approached Lord Long, the more they would be afflicted by this art, causing clusters of urgent fire to spontaneously ignite within their spiritual seas.Ning Zhuo's countermeasure to this was: the Western Pure Land!This was a supreme treasure of Earth Element merit and virtue, one of the Buddhist treasures. A poem bears witness:

Bright earth gives forth light, illuminating the spirit,Myriad thoughts purified, the Buddha Dharma arises.The Western Paradise, a land without blemish,Washing away worldly cares, returning to the realm of purity.

Ning Zhuo temporarily conceived an Earth Element spell, using the Western Pure Land as the ritual material, drawing forth the light of the Pure Land.The light enveloped the dragon's head cabin, refining and purifying all urgent fires, ensuring Sun and Ning maintained inner peace and serenity at all times.You have a Fire Element sin and calamity treasure, I use an Earth Element merit and virtue treasure!Above the cloud-filled sky, Lu Chi saw the stone sphere entering as if into an uninhabited realm, his expression changing involuntarily: "Old Monster in Stone! What a marvelous method, to be able to penetrate such a sea of fire!" The stone sphere rolled up to Lord Long's side.At this moment, Lord Long, having been burned as firewood, his body had shrunk considerably, now only a height of one Zhang."You stone sphere, what do you intend to do to us?!" A warning sound suddenly erupted from Lord Long's right shoulder armor.This piece of right shoulder armor was a truly formidable Spirit Treasure, possessing quite a substantial level of spirituality.From the treasure spirit's exceptionally clear articulation and its emotions brimming with anger and astonishment, Ning Zhuo could discern that this level of spirituality far surpassed that of Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu.Within the Myriad-Mile Roaming Dragon, Sun Lingtong's eyes shone brightly, his mouth glistening, nearly drooling!"I want to steal it so badly.""A Spirit Treasure, this is a Spirit Treasure!!"Alas, he also knew this was impossible.The stronger the spirituality of a Spirit Treasure, the more it could resist the enemy's attempts to seize and refine it.Conversely, if the spirituality's approval was obtained, cultivators would refine Spirit Treasures very quickly, and the difficulty would be exceedingly low.Currently, the treasure spirit was highly wary of the Old Monster in Stone; there was no possibility of forcibly stealing it.If force were used, it could even provoke the Spirit Treasure's desperate counterattack.Sun and Ning certainly did not wish to engage in battle with a Spirit Treasure in this sea of fire.At this very moment, Ning Zhuo was multitasking, simultaneously casting Earth Element and Fire Element spells to ensure his own safety, which was already pushing his limits.After the treasure spirit's reprimand, it continued to warn: "I'm telling you, don't entertain any wicked thoughts. If you provoke me, I'll make you suffer greatly."Sun Lingtong grabbed his own hair and screamed upwards: "Ah, I can't stand it anymore!""This is clearly the best opportunity to steal a Spirit Treasure, but my strength is insufficient, insufficient!""Why, why am I only in the Foundation Establishment stage?!"The right shoulder armor was unlike the 《Gao Sheng's Legacy》; the latter was incomplete and lacked spirituality, while the former possessed spirituality and had the ability of autonomous defense.Of course, the treasure spirit was also in a perilous situation at this time.Having gained spirituality, a treasure was considered a semi-living entity, and thus was also suppressed by the Fire of Lifelessness.The treasure spirit of the right shoulder armor was hidden deep within the Spirit Treasure, not daring to show itself.Despite this, Sun and Ning keenly detected that the surface of this right shoulder armor already showed signs of melting!Ning Zhuo smiled slightly, and with a single sentence dispelled all of the treasure spirit's defenses.He said: "I have a divine decree upon me. Could I possibly harm you? Naturally, I have come to save you."The treasure spirit: "Oh, then you are a good person. I wronged you, I'm sorry!""However, if you want to save Little Long, that's going to be troublesome.""The biggest difficulty is not this sea of Fire of Lifelessness, but rather—"The treasure spirit had not finished speaking when Ning Zhuo interrupted: "I know, the urgent fire."The treasure spirit was momentarily stunned, then immediately became joyful: "Ah, you know, Old Monster! You are so powerful!"The next moment, it saw the stone sphere emit a 황토-colored light.The light was so serene, so reassuring.Under the shroud of the light, Lord Long's eyes suddenly flew open.In a short time, the urgent fire in his spiritual sea had been extinguished by the earth light for the most part.Lord Long looked at the stone sphere: "Old Monster in Stone, thank you!"He couldn't move because he was too anxious, unbearably anxious, which didn't mean he had lost perception of the outside world.Therefore, he heard the conversation between Ning Zhuo and the treasure spirit very clearly.Originally, Lord Long was very disgusted with the Old Monster in Stone's method of participating in the battle and his actions, harboring secret resentment, and planning to settle accounts later.But now...The Old Monster in Stone had become his savior!This—How could Lord Long possibly take action against the Old Monster in Stone again?He was the temple priest of the formidable Dragon King; he was very aware of the importance of reputation.If he could even attack his savior, who would think highly of him? He would be wary of everyone, and it would even cause the public to be wary of the Ginseng-Whisker Dragon King as well.Lord Long could not possibly attack the Old Monster in Stone. Once he did so, the Ginseng-Whisker Dragon King, for the sake of his own incense offerings, would deal with him!Ning Zhuo's voice was hoarse: "Now is not the time for pleasantries. Let's leave this place first."He had endured until now, and was close to reaching his limit.Lord Long nodded, raised his palm, keeping his five fingers together, and in a hand-knife posture was about to amputate himself to sever a large portion of his life force, like a gecko breaking its tail to escape.But he was stopped by Ning Zhuo."Don't waste your energy. You'd better come with me!"The next moment, Ning Zhuo mobilized the Nascent Soul level spiritual power within the stone sphere and unleashed an Earth Element technique.This time, he took Lord Long and quickly sank deep underground.The earth was a lifeless entity, and the Fire of Lifelessness was naturally isolated.It was just that before, Lord Long had invoked the divine presence, and had embedded many ginseng whiskers underground in this battlefield.At this moment, these ginseng whiskers were also burning, becoming the only obstacle.Ning Zhuo's execution of the Earth Element technique, however, was becoming smoother and smoother.Before, the ginseng whiskers moved through the ground, constantly running rampant, and they could not stop him. Now, although the ginseng whiskers were on fire, forming underground fire walls,They were thus stationary. This posed even less trouble for Ning Zhuo."No! No!!" Shuang Jing cried out in distress.At this moment, he had lost his helmet, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer possessed the demeanor of a descendant of a noble family from the past.He subconsciously ran towards the sea of Fire of Lifelessness, his right arm extended forward, his five fingers wide open, wanting to prevent Lord Long from escaping.But ultimately, he was forced back by the heat wave, and could only watch helplessly as the Old Monster in Stone, along with Lord Long, burrowed underground.Shuang Jing suddenly raised his head, roaring ferociously towards the high sky: "Fire Cloud Camp, what are you doing?!""Hurry up and take action! Can you only sit idly and watch a powerful enemy escape?"In the clouds above, Lu Chi looked at the treasured mirror in his hand, his face full of bitterness.Of course, he had thought of preventing all this from happening, but the fire in the sea of Fire of Lifelessness was too intense. As the commander, he was very clear that the many methods he possessed would not be effective.Red Flower Camp.Mu Lan's body went limp, nearly falling again.Zhang Zhongyi quickly reached out and helped her up again.Zhang Zhongyi advised: "General Mu, do not be discouraged! It can only be said that Lord Long's life was not meant to be extinguished!"Mu Lan shook her head, gritting her teeth: "It's the Old Monster in Stone! Everyone underestimated him. This Nascent Soul level existence has extremely profound foundations, far more powerful than described in the intelligence.""At the very least, the Old Monster in Stone in the intelligence could not withstand the Fire of Lifelessness."Mu Lan took a deep breath, quickly steadying her state of mind."Father told me, always be indomitable!""No matter how difficult the situation, fight with all your might and strive for the greatest possible outcome.""Although Lord Long has fled, he is severely wounded and unlikely to have the strength to fight again. If we annihilate this group, we can also earn substantial military achievements!"Mu Lan cast her gaze upwards.In the Red Flower Dharma Aspect, Chi Tengyi and the others were clearly attacking more frantically.Lord Long's escape, being their main support, had dealt too great a blow to the cultivators' morale!In the distance.Lord Mo Yuan, Lu Hongtu's expression was complex."This Old Monster in Stone actually rendered meritorious service, and such a great one!"Even as the lord of the Six Cave Sects, Lu Hongtu felt a strong sense of envy at this moment.He knew very well that the Old Monster in Stone saving Lord Long would inevitably receive tremendous rewards. This was something the Thousand Peaks Forest side absolutely had to do!Even if the Ginseng-Whisker Dragon King knew that the Old Monster in Stone was close to the Divine Transformation stage, for the sake of the overall situation, he would generously reward the Old Monster in Stone."Never mind, who asked me not to have the means to resist this sea of Fire of Lifelessness head-on."Lu Hongtu immediately turned his gaze towards the Red Flower Dharma Aspect."Saving Chi Tengyi and the others is also a great merit. Upon return, I will have an explanation for the Dragon King!"The next moment, Lu Hongtu, leading three Nascent Soul cave lords, suddenly charged out.Mu Lan immediately met the enemy.Lu Hongtu and the others were in excellent condition, inflicting heavy casualties on the Red Flower Camp.The Red Flower Dharma Aspect, being attacked from within and without, finally could no longer hold on and completely collapsed.The veteran and elite soldiers of the Red Flower Camp all suffered backlash as a result, and immediately hundreds of them bled and died."Quickly flee!" Lu Hongtu, however, was not interested in prolonged battle. Without looking back, he fled wildly.Seeing this, Chi Tengyi and the others also desperately fled.The Fire Cloud Camp descended from the clouds and pursued them all the way, but their speed was inferior to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Thousand Peaks Forest, and they soon had to reluctantly give up.The Golden Halberd Army arrived shortly after, and could only clean up the battlefield.Mu Lan reorganized the entire army and tallied the casualties; the heavy losses made her face as white as paper.Suffering even greater losses than her was Shuang Jing.With the assistance of the Golden Halberd Army, Shuang Jing gathered the remaining soldiers, and finding them to be less than a hundred, he immediately shed tears on the spot.In a certain mountain forest."It should be safe now." The Old Monster in Stone first emerged from his spherical shell, then rolled out as a complete sphere.Behind him, the ground glowed with yellow light, and Lord Long also burrowed out."Wait here for a moment," Lord Long sighed, and immediately sat down cross-legged to urgently treat his wounds.As a temple priest, he naturally did not lack high-quality medicinal pills. After taking a few, his complexion visibly improved, and his injuries healed faster.Sun and Ning did not have to wait long before Lord Mo Yuan, Chi Tengyi, and the others all secretly gathered here.Lu Hongtu first inquired about Lord Long's condition, and after learning that he was unharmed, he immediately cupped his fists and congratulated: "This victory is thanks to fellow Daoist in Stone!"
