Chapter 485, Fire God Temple
It was a circular altar with a base of about 100 zhang and a top of 10 zhang. The altar is divided into three tiers from bottom to top, each about ten zhang high between them. At the top of the middle two floors is a ten-zhang wide circular platform.
On the circular slope between the two floors, there are many intricate runes and strange monsters carved on it. If you look closely, you will find that these runes are the runes that represent various different fires on the fire sacrifice array.
The place where the altar is located is a circular square with a radius of thousands of feet. The ground of the square is also carved with many complex patterns, as if it is a huge formation.
At these formation nodes, there is a stone pillar as high as the altar. The diameter of these stone pillars is about ten zhang. Each stone pillar is carved with a demon beast.
In addition to these lifelike monsters, there is also a rune representing some kind of alien fire at the top of the stone pillar. These runes are protected by a protective shield.
The entire square and everything on the square are still intact, and even the formations are still running in an orderly manner. This is in stark contrast to the ruined walls around it.
When Li Xiao arrived, the three stone turtles were beside a stone pillar of a carver's flint stone turtle, fighting with Zhu Batian and the other five people.
At this time, although Zhu Batian and the others still maintained the sacrificial fire array, they could no longer pose a threat to the three stone turtles. Instead, the five of them were pressed into the wind by the three stone turtles, and they had no power to fight back.
And the reason for all this is that stone pillar.
This pillar is a little different from the others. On the rune at the top of it, green and white flames were burning at this time. And this flame is exactly the Ten Thousand Soul Melting Fire that Li Xiao is looking for.
Each time the stone turtle attacked, the rune at the top of the stone pillar would shoot out a white and green flame and fall on the stone turtle.
At this time, the same flame will ignite on the magma spewed out by the stone turtle.
In the face of this flame, the originally invincible sacrificial fire array seemed to have completely lost its effect. It can no longer absorb the power of the flames within.
It's just that Li Xiao also noticed it at the same time. The protective shield around the Ten Thousand Souls Melting Fire was already quite weak at this time. I'm afraid that if I get attacked again, I will be completely shattered.
Li Xiao guessed that this should be the masterpiece of Zhu Wushuang and his wife who arrived in advance.
Li Xiao's arrival naturally saw the two sides who were fighting. The three stone turtles are nothing. But Zhu Batian's faces were a little ugly.
The three of them glanced at each other, and then resisted an attack from the three stone turtles, and launched three powerful attacks at the protective shield on the stone pillar.
Only two shattering sounds were heard one after another, one of which was the light curtain of the sacrificial fire array arranged by Zhu Batian and the others, and the other was the protective shield around the Ten Thousand Souls Melting Fire.
At the same time, a bronze mirror hidden on the side suddenly appeared next to the stone pillar at some point, and then a blue light curtain shone on the top of the stone pillar, quickly enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Souls Melting Fire.
Then a powerful suction force came, quickly sucking the Ten Thousand Souls Melting Fire into it.
This scene happened so quickly that by the time the three stone turtles reacted, the Ten Thousand Soul Melting Fire had already been sucked into the bronze mirror.
Seeing this, the strongest stone turtle suddenly roared angrily, and then sucked hard at the bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror that was originally flying towards Zhu Batian was immediately sucked back.
Zhu Batian's five people had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as the stone turtle had just begun to absorb it, they immediately launched an attack on it.
Seeing this, another stone turtle in the early stage of the Beast Emperor flew in front of the stone turtle without hesitation, and at the same time, a burst of red light lit up on its body.
I saw that his huge body quickly crystallized in this burst of red light. In the moments before those attacks were imminent, the whole thing turned into a stone turtle statue carved from red crystal.
As for the other small stone turtle, the stone pillar on his back also lit up red, and at the same time the person stood up, his neck tilted back.
In his mouth, a red fireball quickly condensed. At the same time that those attacks hit the crystalline stone turtle, his fireball had also condensed.
Then a greenish-white flash of fire shot into him, and then he spewed out the fireball that had turned from red to white-green in his mouth.
However, after losing the most unique fire, the Ten Thousand Soul Melting Fire, the power of the entire formation was significantly weaker than before.
Therefore, the attack that the stone turtle spewed out with all its strength this time was much weaker than the original. was stopped halfway by Zhu Batian's blow to the fire dragon.
At this time, the crystallized stone turtle also blocked all the attacks from the opposite side. After the explosion disappeared, the appearance of the crystalline fossilized turtle was finally revealed.
The turtle demonic beast deserved to be one of the most defensive demon beasts, and at the same time it met the attacks of the five people on the opposite side, and one of them had a realm higher than him. Even so, no injuries were seen on it.
At this time, the bronze mirror had been sucked into the body by the strongest stone turtle.
However, seeing this situation, Zhu Batian stopped his hand, and did not have the slightest intention of rushing to snatch back the bronze mirror.
Seeing this, the stone turtle snorted coldly: "Zhu Batian, what's the matter? Are you going to give up? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance when you die. ”
The man known as Zhu Batian did not answer him, but looked at Li Xiao who was looking around in the distance with a calm face. Then he asked, "This fellow Daoist, I know you want all souls to melt fire. ”
"If you can help me get what we want, when we get rid of these three stupid turtles, we will serve them with both hands. ”
Hearing his words, Li Xiao didn't even look at him, but replied calmly: "I don't like to deal with people who use me. ”
As he spoke, he flew straight to the side.
Regarding Li Xiao's answer, Zhu Batian was not surprised, but said: "Since Daoist friends are unwilling to help us, we are not reluctant, as long as Daoist friends do not interfere in our battles, we will be grateful afterwards." ”
A mid-stage distraction monk is so jealous of an early-stage god transformation monk, I'm afraid no one will believe it when he says it. But Zhu Batian and the others didn't find it strange at all.
It was not Li Xiao who answered him, but the stone turtle.
I heard him laugh and say, "Just because you want to kill me?" Hahaha, in this formation, I alone can make you unable to eat and walk around. ”
As he spoke, he launched an attack on the other party.
In the face of the stone turtle's attack, Zhu Batian completely lost his previous seriousness. As he shot to resist the opponent's attack, he spoke: "If it was the original formation, we really wouldn't be able to drink you." ”
"However, the current formation is no longer the original one. Without the last strange fire, the power of this formation would only get weaker and weaker. ”
At this time, the stone turtle had already clearly felt what Zhu Batian said. Originally, the three of them could use the sacrificial fire array to resist their own attacks, but now they can block it by just two of them joining forces.
Seeing this, the stone turtle roared angrily: "You are all insatiable and shameless people. It's exactly the same as your spirit ancestors. ”
"However, even so, you don't want to get the complete Sacrificial Fire Array. ”
However, its unintentional words made Li Xiao, who was looking at a stone pillar rune, stunned.
Ever since Li Xiao saw this altar, he already knew where this place was.
This was once a sacred place for the Hong clan to cultivate fire exercises, the Fire God Temple.
And the formation arranged in this square is a complete fire sacrifice array.
At that time, there was a kind of alien fire on every stone pillar here to maintain, a total of forty-nine alien fires of heaven and earth.
Each alien fire is guarded by a demon beast whose strength has reached the level of the Beast Emperor.
At that time, when the Great Sacrificial Fire Array was complete, only these demon beasts and large arrays of the Beast Emperor Realm paid attention to resisting the ten Mahayana monks. It can be seen that it is powerful.
Although this large array is now in ruins, most of the strange fires have disappeared. But the magma of the surrounding volcanic complex alone is not to be underestimated. Only a fraction of the energy can be used in time.
Because of this, Li Xiaocai never joined the battle. Because he knew that in this formation, their few people would not be able to defeat the stone turtle. But it is not so easy for the stone turtle to kill the other party.
Although, now that the formation has been weakened again and the control of the alien fire has been completely lost, it is not difficult to keep the stone turtle undefeated.
Originally, Li Xiao seemed to be on the side of the stone turtle, but in fact, he just didn't like to be misunderstood, and he didn't like to be used.
And it will be difficult to reconcile with the stone turtle in the end. After all, his goal is the melting fire of all souls guarded by the stone turtle.
Especially after looking at the city, Li Xiao knew even more that if he wanted to melt the fire of all souls, he must be the enemy of his guardian beast, that is, the stone turtle family.
But his little stone turtle is quite affectionate for this family. So Li Xiao has always been a little embarrassed.
If he could, he hoped that Zhu Batian would snatch the Ten Thousand Souls Melting Fire away, and then he would get it from them.
It's just that when he heard the stone turtle's words, he changed his mind.
Looking at the stone pillar carved with a corgi-like pattern in front of him, Li Xiao opened his mouth and spat out a flame that was only the size of a thumb and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
This is exactly the time when the corgi was paid, the fire of the nine suns. But after so many years of absorption, there is only so little left.
If it weren't for the corgi, he would have devoured it completely.
Throw the Nine Suns Fire towards the top of the stone pillar. The flames instantly pierced through the outer shield, and then fell on the rune at the top of the stone pillar.
The runes, which were already dimly lit, were immediately ignited after coming into contact with the Nine Suns Fire.
Immediately afterward, the entire stone pillar began to glow with a faint light. The Great Flame Sacrifice Array, which had been weakened by the loss of the Ten Thousand Souls Melting Fire, began to operate again.
