Chapter 452: Chapter 366: Transformation into a Spirit
"A lower-tier Great Saint dares to be arrogant, courting death!"
The old man transformed into a ball of golden flame entangled with a blue long sword.
The intense collision instantly made the flames within the hall more chaotic, and the residual waves forced even the Demon Saints to retreat, looking at Yan Cang in surprise.
They hadn’t expected this person to have such a formidable trump card, luckily the two were fighting among themselves and not dealing with them.
In this way, they might still have a chance.
"Son-in-law, his trump card is also revealed, both are extraordinary indeed."
Shi Kongxuan watched the intense battle, growing calmer, thinking he was nothing here, on what basis could he compete with these people?
He increasingly felt fortunate to have brought his son-in-law over this time, and his son-in-law’s brilliant tactics allowed them to successfully gain benefits in advance, not needing to compete with these formidable figures at all.
"They all have formidable backgrounds, now we’ll see whose trump card is stronger."
Shen Wang watched the two battling with great interest, but felt increasingly cautious, realizing how deep the waters of this world run, and that he’d need to be even more careful in the future.
The battle between the two Great Saints was too intense, even the residual waves could kill a Demon Venerable. Soon, everyone below the Demon Saints retreated in embarrassment, and even the Demon Saints such as Shi Yushuo had to step aside to await the outcome.
Before long, the golden flame in the Sword Emperor began to dim first, indicating that Yan Cang’s trump card was falling behind.
Qingzi the Great Saint said proudly, "Old man, your true body’s strength is indeed above mine, but unfortunately, you haven’t preserved much power, so you have no right to pose here."
The elder, whose body now appeared somewhat illusory, looked grim, ignoring the other’s mocking. Instead, he secretly told Yan Cang, "Cang’er, the means I’ve left only have the strength for one more battle. Soon, I’ll intentionally trigger the Power of Earth Fire here, and after it’s over, the Array here will surely be affected. You must be cautious in your actions."
While communicating, he floated in the air, glowing, burning fervently and absorbing the surrounding Earth Fire, then suddenly contracting, exuding a dangerous aura.
Yan Cang realized something and withdrew around himself.
"Hmph!"
Qingzi saw this old thing launching a final strike and looked serious. He performed Body and Sword Integration, his Primordial Spirit merging into the Holy Sword, which shone brightly as if converging all the sharp energies of heaven and earth, piercing towards the surging flames and massive power.
"Boom!"
The moment their powers collided, a violent explosion occurred, then further spread.
The flames throughout the grand hall seemed to have been detonated, rolling violently, exploding further, with a circle of Earth Fire above rioting in response.
Bang bang bang!
The flames roared, ravaging the entire space, and the palace seemed unable to withstand such a terrifying impact, beginning to shake violently. Arrays activated one after another, twisting in the explosion.
As a blazing fireball burst open from the point of collision, instantly spreading outward, Array Barriers shattered one after another.
Even where the explosion’s power reached, space showed slight cracks, as if the entire space was about to collapse.
"Damn it!"
"Not good!"
Shi Yushuo and other Demon Saints hadn’t expected this collision to be so intense; even hiding in the corners, they were still engulfed by the blasting fire waves.
The limited space, with the Power of Earth Fire thoroughly detonated, gathered destructive power within, instantly exceeding what they could withstand,
The feeling of death descended instantly, all the Demon Saints were horrified, forced to use their life-saving methods. Even so, the Demon Saints of the Rakshasa Race, restrained by the Flame Power, still sustained injuries.
The scorching fire waves clashed continuously within the palace, gradually calming down. At the explosion center, the old man’s figure had disappeared, leaving only a blue long sword suspended, its Sword Qi melted by the flames, greatly reducing its momentum, even showing cracks upon the blade.
Qingzi’s Divine Split slowly appeared, looking somewhat illusory, clearly not having gained anything good from that clash.
He looked grim, "That old thing still had some tricks, but it’s also good because most of the array formations inside here have been destroyed!"
At this moment, under the power of the explosion, most of the arrays protecting the Alchemy area inside the palace were nearly destroyed, the wooden shelves leaning over, many of the medicine bottles shattering, and even the lid of the Pill Furnace tilted, revealing more of its splendor.
He smirked, floating to the Pill Furnace, and kicked the lid.
Clang!
The lid flew off, a burst of dazzling light erupted from within, the source surprisingly being a five-colored flame.
Within this five-colored flame nested a five-colored patterned Elixir, the flames flickering unstably, nurturing within the fire.
"What a treasure!"
Qingzi, whose face had been grim a moment ago, burst into laughter, "With this Elixir, there is hope for becoming an Emperor, this trip was not in vain, hahaha."
"Congratulations, Uncle!"
Lizi congratulated him from the doorway.
"Laugh after it’s in hand."
Qingzi stretched his hand clawing at the Elixir, the latter shining brightly, suddenly cracking.
His expression changed, thinking there was a problem, but saw an eggshell turning into flames, from which emerged a Phoenix with feathers of five-colored brilliant light.
Noticing the commotion outside, the Phoenix suddenly opened its eyes, emitting a loud cry, its eyes spirited, as if a living creature.
Qingzi was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, "Haha, it’s said a true Emperor Pill becomes spiritual, able to take form, indeed it is so!"
He grasped at it, the Phoenix spread its wings, turning into a stream of fire.
Pfft!
His large hand was pierced by the Phoenix, which flew rapidly towards the outside.
Qingzi’s smile froze, furious, "Trying to escape?"
He summoned his long sword, instantly performing Body and Sword Integration to chase.
This scene stunned the observing Demon Saints, it was also the first time they saw an Elixir coming to life trying to flee.
The sword light caught up, the piercing Phoenix cry echoed, the five-colored Phoenix possessed formidable strength, blocking the sword light with a claw, entangling with it.
"Hmph, just transforming into spirit and you think you can stop this Saint!"
Qingzi scolded, the sword light intensely magnified, Sword Qi crisscrossing, engulfing the Phoenix, its cries clearly becoming urgent.
Watching from the Phoenix Tree, Shi Kongxuan widened his eyes, "This Elixir is so formidable, I regretted not trying to open the Pill Furnace before."
"After all, it’s an Emperor Pill, even if its power isn’t as great as the Emperor’s, it still isn’t something ordinary Demon Saints can subdue, and our strength is even less."
Shen Wang was surprised, not expecting top Elixirs to reach such a level, indeed it was an eye-opener.
"Yes, our strength isn’t enough indeed, it’s best not to touch it, else touching it could mean death."
Shi Kongxuan said warily.
Inside the palace, the transformed Elixir gradually fell behind.
It possessed pure strength, but being newly born, it didn’t know how to fight, relying solely on instinct and brute force, constantly falling prey under the battle-savvy Qingzi’s sword.
Realizing it couldn’t win, the Phoenix started fleeing.
"Can you escape?"
Qingzi’s sword light relentlessly pursued, continuously weakening the Phoenix’s strength, the latter looking battered.
The two unknowingly battled to the top of the palace, the Phoenix had nowhere to escape, struck by a sword, its body shedding large patches of firelight, gradually reverting to its original Elixir form.
A few strands of firelight landed on the bones, unnoticed by anyone present except Shen Wang who had already controlled ninety percent of the array.
