Chapter 1151: Turning the Tide
Translator: 549690339
By the time Xia Ping ’an returned to the wilderness where he had killed the God of Black Feathers’ doppelganger, the landscape of the wilderness had completely changed. The ground and mountain ridges that had been riddled with holes during the battle had now become a huge lava lake with an area of almost ten thousand square kilometers.
In the magma lake, the heat waves are rolling in the ground, the hard rock layers and those hills, at this moment, all turn into the magma lake, the dark red scorching magma, those magma are like tsunamis, setting off huge waves of dozens of meters, surging and sweeping towards the surroundings.
The main culprit behind all of this was none other than the Life Source Divine Artifact of the Winged Demon God that Xia Pingan had just killed-that gigantic bronze skull.
At this moment, the bronze skull was hundreds of meters deep in the magma lake. Purple-red high-temperature flames were surging out of its eyes, mouth, nostrils and ears like a great river. It was these flames that melted the earth and mountain peaks into boiling magma and pushed the magma towards the surroundings wave after wave.
At this moment, the bronze skull seemed to have lost control. The high-temperature flames it kept spitting out not only changed the terrain here, but also burned itself red like iron pliers in a boiler. The skull emitted a dazzling white light as if it would melt at any time. Some small cracks had already appeared on the bronze skull. The entire bronze skull was crazily devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi while emitting extremely unstable divine power fluctuations. It disturbed the surrounding space. Under the terrifying high temperature, the sky above the lava lake was slightly distorted. This scene reminded Xia Ping An of the terrifying aura before the Void Thunder exploded.
Xi Qing held her Green-stemmed Treasured Lotus, and Mi Luo held her Phoenix Guqin. The two of them were like fairies who had descended to the mortal world. Their long dresses and beautiful hair fluttered in the wind as they stood above the boiling lava lake. They worked together to create an ice-blue energy curtain that enveloped the lava sea. It also contained the flames spat out by the bronze skeleton.
“The Winged Demon God Venerable’s natal divine artifact is already out of control and could self-destruct at any time. The power of the self-destruction of a natal divine artifact is even more terrifying than the Void Divine Lightning. There are treasure hiding spots found by the Treasure Trove Golden Toad nearby. Xiqing and 1 can still suppress that skull.”
As soon as Xia Ping ‘an flew over, Mi Luo’s anxious voice transmission rang in his ears. Although Xia Ping’ an had only left for a few minutes, the situation before him could not get any worse.
The self-destruction of a Rank Eight Hierarch’s Life Artifact was extremely terrifying. In order to survive, the fleeing Winged Demon Hierarch didn’t hesitate to cut off his tail and use such a desperate move.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me!” As Xia Pingan spoke, his body flashed and he had already rushed into the icy blue energy barrier. With a flash, he dived into the boiling lava lake and went against the current. He endured the violent eruption of flames and came directly in front of the huge bronze skeleton that was spewing fire like a violent volcano.
The flames that the skull was spewing were not ordinary flames. They were comparable to a Type 8 Hierarch God Spirit Skill. Even if an ordinary Hierarch expert did not die in front of such flames, they would be severely injured in an instant.
In the midst of the high temperature flames, Xia Pingan’s robes were instantly turned into ashes. The high temperature flames directly burned Xia Pingan’s body. The power of the King of Wisdom’s Seamless Divine Body was once again revealed. A layer of faint golden light floated around his body. The terrifying high temperature flames swept across Xia Pingan’s body. It was like a surging river rushing into an endless abyss. It was swallowed in an instant, and Xia Pingan’s body was completely unharmed.
In the sky, Mi Luo and Xi Qing saw Xia Ping ‘an rushing to the bronze skull that was getting brighter and brighter. They were both frightened. This was just like a normal person clearing a mine. It was too dangerous.
As for Xia Ping ‘an’s clothes that had turned into ashes and was now completely naked, it was not a big deal to a summoner of this level. Which of the experts who had cultivated to the Godly Venerable Realm had not walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood? It was a small matter to change their hearts and lungs. Why would they care about this? They looked at a person’s body more than a doctor looked at a patient lying on the operating table.
Mi Luo’s expression was natural. Xi Qing looked down and blushed. She quickly closed her eyes.
“Be careful!” The two women’s voice transmissions appeared in Xia Ping ‘an’s ears almost at the same time.
“Don’t worry!” As Xia Pingan spoke, his hands had already begun to form a secret finger seal, and he struck it on the bronze skull one after another.
The final command and will that the bronze skull received as a life-bound divine artifact should be to self-destruct and detonate. However, the Winged Demon God had already been killed by him. The only way to stop this life-bound divine artifact that was about to self-destruct was to extract a trace of the Winged Demon God’s primordial spirit from the life-bound divine artifact. After making this life-bound divine artifact ownerless, he would think of a way to control it.
This life is simple, but it is difficult to do it, because this involves too many secret techniques, and these secret techniques are all top-level secret techniques, and they need all kinds of secret techniques to cooperate with each other. It is impossible to do it, but only Xia Pingan has the foundation of a hundred years of cultivation in the Sutra Hall, and has mastered the powerful secret techniques of the spirit world. Only by combining the two can he achieve this kind of critical moment, turn the tide, and let the self-destructing divine artifact stop.
As Xia Ping ‘an’s hand seals landed on the flaming skull one by one, the flames on the skull gradually diminished. A few minutes later, as the trace of the Winged Demon God’s Original Spirit on the skull was drawn out and dissipated in the flames, a huge pillar of scorching flame, more than a hundred meters thick, shot up into the sky. The lava in the huge lava lake that was 4,000 to 5,000 square kilometers in size stirred up huge waves that were more than 1,000 meters tall and surged in all directions from the center.
Mi Luo and Xi Qing’s hearts tightened. They thought that the Life Source Divine Artifact was going to explode. In the next second, the huge pillar of blazing flame disappeared, along with all the high-temperature flames and energy in the lava lake.
In just one or two seconds, the high-temperature lava that swept towards the surroundings was instantly frozen under the ice-blue light shield. The lava in the lava lake within 10,000 square kilometers turned into rocks again. This scene was like a miracle.
Xia Ping ‘an, who had already put on a black battle robe, dragged the bronze skull that had been split in half from the middle. He flew up from the ground and arrived in front of the two women in the blink of an eye.
“Are you alright?” Mi Luo asked with concern.
Xiqing’s face wasn’t as red as before and had returned to normal.
Xia Pingan didn’t react in the slightest. He looked at the two women and smiled,” It’s fine. I didn’t fail my mission. This Life Source Divine Artifact of the Winged Demon God has become an ownerless item and it just happened to crack in the middle. It’s the will of the heavens. The two of you can split it equally. The material of this Life Source Divine Artifact is the precious Primordial Mountain Copper. It can allow your respective Life Source Divine Artifacts to advance further!”
“Big brother Chan, you and Mi Luo can split it half. You guys contributed the most, I don’t want it…” Xi Qing quickly shook her head.
“I’ve already killed that Winged Demon Deity, and I’ve already collected some of the Immemorial Mountain Copper on him. The two of you can split the ones here, and whoever sees them will get a share!”Xia Pingan said.
“Sister Xiqing, let’s split it in half. If you don’t accept it, none of us will be able to accept it. Besides, you participated in the battle just now and contributed a lot.”Mi Luo said with a smile. Then, she took half of the skull herself.
Before Xiqing could say anything, a voice suddenly sounded from afar..” It’s that woman who stole my Flood Dragon Divine Scale…”
