Chapter 20: The First Emperor's Recovery
Even if Xia Jie was fascinated and didn't move for a long time, General Yang and the soldiers standing here didn't have the heart to care about Xia Jie's harvest.
Because, all their minds were shocked by the changes in the fountain of eternal life.
Cursed mud body? It's all gone.
I saw Ying Zheng slowly climb out of the water and descend nearly a third of the water of the Changsheng Pool, he was wearing a black scaly leather armor, with a roaring golden dragon head on his shoulders and belt shoes, a mysterious pattern raised on the ancient armor, a black bun hanging high on the top, and a golden armor-inlaid hair crown tied to his forehead.
His countenance had regained the handsomeness and tenderness of his crown, a pair of domineering eyebrows and eyes swept around, and the people in the belly of the mountain involuntarily softened.
Ying Zheng didn't care about everyone's demeanor, he couldn't help but want to move his muscles and bones, he stretched his arms and limbs, and when he opened his mouth, a dragon groan that shook the valley burst out of his mouth.
"Groan!"
His body swelled and grew larger, and the pitch-black dragon head poked out of his shoulders, one, two, three, and then turned into a black armor dragon body, and in an instant, it turned into a three-headed black dragon nearly ten meters long and stood on the ground.
"Roar!!"
The three dragon heads roared like snake necks, but they let out a beastly roar, and then the three heads became one, turning into a beast head with several horns and a huge yellow mouth.
Then the entire dragon body changed again, the scales sank into the skin in an instant, and the brown and yellow hairs grew, and after only two breaths, the three black dragons had disappeared. What appeared on the ground was a strange giant beast with two feet and extremely thick limbs, like a tiger and an elephant, and nearly four meters tall.
The giant beast made a fist, and the yellow-faced fanged face was extremely comfortable, and then it tightened suddenly, and the hair muscles all over its body contracted, and it returned to Yingzheng's original shape.
The whole process of change is extremely smooth and natural, as if waving hands and feet is as easy.
Ying Zheng's face was overjoyed, and the power of the Immortal Fountain surged in every inch of his body, not only breaking his clay body curse mark, but even accelerating the changes of his five elements, speeding up his body reorganization as it expanded.
This was something he hadn't thought of before, because the power of the Five Elements had been brewing in his body for thousands of years, and as soon as his body was revived at this moment, coupled with the effect of the Immortal Spring, that power had exceeded his expectations.
Ying Zheng changed from a human body to three dragons, and then to a tall beast, this fabulous scene was seen by the soldiers, and their hearts almost stopped beating in shock, no matter how firm their will and belief were, they could not compete with such a strange scene.
General Yang raised his head and looked at the First Emperor who had regained his body, although the change of the First Emperor also surprised him, but he also congratulated him from the bottom of his heart: "Congratulations to welcome Your Majesty back to the world, eliminate foreign enemies and restore our country's prestige!" ”
"I have been able to come back to life, and you have a lot of credit. After this matter is resolved, I will definitely have a big reward! ”
Ying Zheng didn't turn his head, and walked directly to Ziyuan, who was pressed to the ground by the soldiers and had five daggers inserted.
Witnessing the arrival of the First Emperor, the soldiers guarding the side retreated in fear, vacating a large area, Ying Zheng pressed the long sword on his waist, stared at Ziyuan's blood-stained body, and was silent.
After a while, Xia Jie held Gu Jian in his hand, rushed down the stairs quickly, and stepped to Ying Zheng's side in three or two steps, bringing the information he needed.
"Your Majesty! The Fountain of Eternal Life is a natural spiritual creature, whether it is drunk or soaked, it can kill and live people, flesh and bones! Therefore, if you want to strip the immortal bodies of the two Ziyuan, you also need Your Majesty to calcinate them with fire and use controlled water to draw out the immortal spring in their bodies. ”
"So, okay?"
Ying Zheng looked sideways, his face was a little disbelieving, he had obviously used ice and fire to grind Lin before, but the other party was stripped of the Fountain of Eternal Life without doing so.
Of course, Xia Jie knew what the First Emperor meant, he leaned up to Gu Jian and affirmed: "Yes, if Your Majesty hadn't exhausted her strength before, Lin must have been crushed by Your Majesty a long time ago." ”
Hearing this, Ying Zhengcai nodded thoughtfully. After he fainted before, he didn't even go to carefully investigate Lin's body, nor did he have the ability to control the immortal spring water in his body, so it was no wonder that the other party would not die.
However, this is no longer the case.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand coldly and grabbed the five-handled dagger that pierced Ziyuan's body, trembling wildly in an instant, and then shot up from the ground, flew out backwards, and pierced into the rock above his head until he had no handle.
"Ahem!"
Zi Yuan immediately woke up, her body covered in black ash burned by the fire, and the golden threads on the azure robe had melted into molten iron and embedded in her skin.
A thousand years ago, the First Emperor had mastered the Five Elements for only a few years, and he could be killed by the Ziyuan curse without any defense.
But now, with the power of the five elements flowing in his body as thick as pulp, coupled with the thick and abyss-like immortal spring water, under the full force of his exertion, even if Ziyuan issued another curse, he would not be afraid.
Of course, Ying Zheng will not give Ziyuan any chance, even if she can turn the tables, he doesn't want this woman to live in the world for even a second!
Without waiting for her to ask questions or curse, Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the flames that were several times stronger than before poured out, enveloping Ziyuan's body in an instant.
"Zizi ......"
The flames were pervasive, and even if they were blocked by clothes and skin, they could burn through them instantly, and Ziyuan's throat and lungs were burned into dry carbon by the flames drilled into their nostrils, and they couldn't make a sound.
She was slammed into the fire, the pain was unbearable, and her body writhed to no avail, and she couldn't break free from the golden flames that burned on her tarsal bones.
In this high-temperature fireball with golden light in the red, Ziyuan's body slowly dried up, the silk, gold and iron on her body surface were burned to ashes, and the water in her body was evaporated, and a pungent scorching smell spread.
Xia Jie looked at it, and saw that only a child-sized skeleton remained in Ziyuan's body, still wrapped in flames, charred as carbon, but it was not destroyed.
"Humph!"
Ying Zheng finally laughed, he could feel the immortal fountain in the other party's bones!
Then he reached out and shook it again, and as the flames died down, a stream of crystal water was ingested from the bones that had been as dry as wood.
Even from this pitch-black bone debris, the Fountain of Eternal Life still remained crystal clear, without the slightest dust attached, and the little fluorescent light inside was still vibrant.
As the Immortal Fountain was pumped out, Zi Yuan's body was no longer miraculous as before, and after a long time, she was still a pile of wreckage, not restored to its original state like Lin.
"So she's going to die?"
Ying Zheng held a human head-sized, balloon-like spring of immortality in the air with one hand, and asked Xia Jie in a low voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But it is recorded that if there is still the Fountain of Immortality sprinkled on the remains of the Immortal, the other party will still be resurrected, so it is also necessary to crush her body and scatter ashes to kill all the chances of Ziyuan's resurrection. ”
Xia Jie flipped through the ancient Jane, and this paragraph was indeed recorded truthfully.
As soon as his words landed, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and the ground under Ziyuan's bones instantly rolled up two huge layers of rock, the rock layer was as big as a grinding plate, rising from the ground and condensing into a hard stone.
"Boom!"
The two stone mills slammed together, sandwiching the bones of Zi Yuan's corpse in the middle, and then violently rotated relative to each other, grinding the already crispy bones into a puddle of black powder.
"Whew!"
Then, a woman wrapped in an oilcloth was carried over by General Yang and placed in front of the ashes, Xia Jie pulled out the black knife between her skull, held Gu Jian in one hand, and stepped aside to stand aside.
Ying Zheng glanced at it, and without waiting for Lin to regain his senses, a ball of fire surged in his hand again, burning it into residual bones like Ziyuan, extracting the Fountain of Immortality, and then grinding it into ashes.
Before, he hated Ziyuan and hated madness, but when he really came to this blade enemy, he didn't even want to say a word to them, and the raging fire and the rocks that burst together put an end to the immortality of these two people.
The strange thing is that the Immortal Spring taken out of Lin's body is only two-thirds the size of Ziyuan, but at this moment, under the flickering of the firelight, it is extremely inconspicuous and has not attracted everyone's attention at all.
Ying Zheng didn't look at it, and casually threw the immortal spring water balls of different sizes in his hands into the pool, and then turned his head to look at Xia Jie, with a very solemn expression.
"I have regained my mana, and I am even stronger than I was a thousand years ago! General Xia, is there a spell on this thing that can kill me? ”
He remembered that when Xia Jie handed over the dagger before, he had said that even if he obtained immortality, he would still die if he was pierced through the heart by this cursed dagger.
He killed Zi Yuan and Lin so simply, and there were many worries about it, after all, these two people had survived for thousands of years, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no means.
Xia Jie shook his head slowly and replied, "Your Majesty, there is only this kind of spell mark in this book, but the conditions it requires are extremely harsh, and you need to use Your Majesty's belongings to cast a spell. But now, His Majesty has the Fountain of Eternal Life, and unless this spell is condensed for more than a thousand years, it is impossible to hurt His Majesty in the slightest. ”
Now on this ancient Jane, there is really only this one way, after all, at this moment, the power of the five elements of Yingzheng for more than 2,000 years is in his body, and the spring of immortality is circulating in his body, if the curse carved is not more than a thousand years, he can't even break his skin.
"What is recorded in this book? Back then, Ziyuan, a slut, only said that there was a method of immortality on it, but he took advantage of my unpreparedness and turned me into a clay figure in a blink of an eye! ”
Ying Zheng kicked away the dust on the ground, and the dirt arched and protruded, rolling it into the ground, saving it from being an eyesore.
In fact, this ancient text is very similar to the 'Book of the Dead' and the 'Golden Book of the Sun' that O'Connor used in Egypt before.
But the difference between the two is that the Bible of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun are assisted by external forces, and although this ancient Jane is also a treasure in itself, it is more to teach people how to obtain their own power.
