Chapter 67: The Source of Natal Fire
As Suzaku continued to increase his firepower, Zhu Jue gradually couldn't support it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info His afterglow swept over the two corpses in the corner, thinking to himself that he was going to die here alone?
The wall of fire was gradually engulfed by the waves of fire, although Zhu Jue had done his best, but his strength was limited, and he really couldn't match this Vermilion Bird clone.
A sigh sounded, and Zhu Jue was finally wrapped in the sea of fire. Between the raging flames, he only felt as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at his flesh, and a piercing pain came from all parts of his body, and he wanted to shout but couldn't. Despite his flame protection, the flesh on his body continued to fade away at a rate visible to the naked eye in the extreme heat. In the blink of an eye, he was already human.
Suzaku saw that his attack was working, and he kept chirping there, as if to show his pride. It didn't stop, but continued to flap its wings to urge the flames, as if it wanted to burn Zhu Jue to ashes at once.
As the flesh melted, a red mist-like gas drifted out of Zhu Jue's body. This is Zhu Jue's primordial spirit, which is the source of his divine power. After death, the spirit of the original spirit will immediately drift away and become a part of nature. But at this moment, perhaps because his primordial spirit belonged to the fire system, under the shroud of the Vermilion Bird's fire, he actually barely maintained his form. But even so, this group of primordial gods is still very illusory, and it seems that it may disperse at any time.
Zhu Jue couldn't feel the pain at the moment, he only felt that he was separated from his physical body, lost his weight, and was about to dissipate in this mortal world. But at this time, he saw the world much more clearly, and many things that he couldn't see before could now be felt. He found that there was a huge cloud of energy in front of him, and in the center of this energy, there was a jumping flame, which was the primordial spirit of Suzaku. Just as the primordial spirit was about to dissipate, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Anyway, try it. ā
At this moment, Suzaku saw that there was no one in the flames, and thought that the intruder just now had been burned to ashes, so he stopped the attack. It seems that it has not been freed from the seal for a long time, so it is not in a hurry to go back, it just flappes its wings in place and looks around, its eyes full of curiosity. It had forgotten how it had been trapped in the formation in the first place, and the long time had wiped out all the sanity of this clone, and all that was left was the instinct to fight.
Just as its form gradually blurred and was about to return to the seal, a cloud of red mist burst out of the sea of fire, and instantly rushed into its body through Suzaku's open beak.
"Chirp!" Suzaku chirped, swinging his body angrily. It sensed something strange intruding and summoned flames to drive it away.
Zhu Jue successfully broke into Suzaku's body, and the ensuing strong impact almost overwhelmed his Yuan Shen in an instant. But he knew that this was a gamble, and losing it was a dead end, so he did everything he could to stabilize the form of the original god. Fortunately, although Suzaku is strong, it is difficult to really hurt Zhu Jue in his body. After all, if anyone else trespassed into its body, it would definitely be burned to ashes by the heat of the flames in an instant.
To say that this Suzaku is really magical, the body is not an ordinary organ, but a combination of pure flames through a certain vein. Zhu Jue kept shuttling through a labyrinth, and found the location of the Vermilion Bird Yuan God by feeling. In front of me was a huge fireball, burning with orange flames, and the scorching temperature had almost reached a peak. In the midst of the fireball, a cloud loomed, presumably its primordial spirit.
Zhu Jue knew that if he wanted to get the power of Suzaku's primordial spirit, the only way to break through the protection of that layer of fireball. However, just by getting close to the fireball at this moment, his primordial spirit unconsciously dissipated a lot, and he felt that his consciousness was a little blurred. If you break through with a tiger's brain, it is estimated that you will be burned to slag before you come into contact with the natal fire source.
"What should I do!" Zhu Jue even had the idea of giving up for a moment. It's too tiring to live like this, it's better to die, anyway, I've always been a lazy and troublesome person, why bother struggling to survive? Thinking like this, his primordial spirit has become a little more illusory, and it looks like it's about to disperse. At this time, the mutation protruded, and the fireball actually automatically opened a hole, and then burst out with a powerful suction, pulling Zhu Jue's Yuan Shen into it instantly.
It turns out that there is an instinct of hunting each other between the original gods of the same attribute. The stronger side gains power by devouring the weaker side, which is the most effective method. The reason why Zhu Jue thought of obtaining the primordial spirit of Vermilion Bird was also based on this consideration. Of course, this is just his subjective speculation, because those fantasy novels are written in books. But who knew that the primordial spirit of the Vermilion Bird had actually become refined over time, and at this moment, it felt Zhu Jue's approach, and immediately induced its most primitive instinct, intending to absorb and refine Zhu Jue's primordial spirit in order to achieve the purpose of enhancing itself.
In the cloud, a handful of orange flames met with red flames. The orange was obviously much stronger, and it immediately enveloped the red flame, but the red flame was also very tenacious and refused to disperse. In this way, the two fell into a stalemate for a while, but from an objective point of view, it is only a matter of time before the winner is lost.
"It's just a matter of losing to the real Vermilion Bird, you are just a clone of the primordial gods, will I still lose to you?" Zhu Jue, who had already given up a little, was aroused at this moment. There's nothing to say about letting him dissipate naturally, but it's a little unacceptable to let him become someone else's fertilizer. Since you can't win a hard fight, then fight guerrilla warfare! Zhu Jue's Yuan Shen seized the opportunity to escape from the encirclement of the orange flames, jumping up and down there, dodging and waiting for the opportunity to attack. In fact, it was quite easy for Suzaku to destroy Zhu Jue's primordial spirit, but in order to be able to absorb Zhu Jue's energy to the greatest extent, it had to be cautious. It's just that this gives Zhu Jue more opportunities.
In the grotto, Suzaku's figure froze there, motionless, and even the fire on his body dimmed. No one knew that in its body, a long and cruel game was quietly unfolding. This is not only a competition of strength, but also a competition of endurance and will.
Among the trees, two figures passed quickly, bringing a roaring sound.
"Frozen in the sky!" One of them was the Snow Maiden, and I saw that her expression was solemn at the moment, and there were slight blood stains on the corners of her mouth, and she was actually injured.
A bitter chill spread from her side at a rapid speed, and everything around her instantly froze into ice sculptures. Seeing this, a gray woman suddenly retreated, and finally stopped a few hundred meters away, dodging this wave of attacks. This person is the mysterious Hoshino, and since she came here, more than a dozen players have died at her hands. However, the white-haired woman she met this time was unexpectedly tenacious.
"Ice burial, get up!" The Snow Maiden's eyes were blank, her hands formed handprints, and she saw that the trees and flowers that had been frozen burst open in an instant, turning into countless ice spikes and shooting towards the woman in gray. The range and speed of this move are so large that it is almost impossible to dodge.
"Stop. Hoshino stretched out his five fingers, but he didn't do anything, and saw that the ice spikes that had arrived in front of him were stagnant in the air, as if there was an invisible shield blocking their way.
"Broken. She clenched her fist lightly, and in an instant, the ice spikes in the sky shattered. At the same time, for the first time, the Snow Maiden's unfazed face showed a look of surprise.
