"Um?"
'Yao''s face showed surprise again.
He had only seen Liu Shaji's power before and regarded him as the only threat, so he targeted Liu Shaji from the beginning.
But he didn't expect that the eldest princess's concubine would actually have such tyrannical strength.
"Yao" glanced at the silver broken sword and felt the sharp and terrifying aura. His face changed again and he said: "Human Imperial Soldier?"
As an elder of the Shuangzhu Prince race, his understanding of human beings far exceeds that of ordinary reapers, and he immediately saw the origin of the silver broken sword.
Li Xiaofei activated the silver broken sword and said, "How did you discover our identity?"
Is there really something wrong with the treasure presented by the eldest princess?
"Yao" smiled faintly and said: "I didn't discover your human identity. It's just that someone offered a huge price for your life, so I investigated and followed you. Haha, I didn't expect that you are actually human spies." , Haha, I deserve the meritorious service now."
If such powerful human spies are discovered in the Holy Ruins, as long as they are killed and reported to the ancestral court, the reward they will receive will definitely be the envy of even the prince and clan leader.
The two ancestors were never stingy in rewarding clan members who had made meritorious deeds.
"Who offered the reward?"
Li Xiaofei asked.
"What do you think?"
"Yao" said calmly: "Do you think there is someone who hates you so much that he wants to kill you, but can afford such a high reward that even I would be tempted by?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Xiaofei's mind.
He suddenly knew who was offering the reward.
"I didn't expect that the Leaf Bird clan would be so crazy in order to kill me."
He smiled and said calmly, "However, these are all in vain. At least a guy like you can't kill me."
'Yao" laughed.
Along with his laughter, the magma below suddenly pulled out a series of scrolls.
These pillars of magma are like twisted drill bits, rotating at high speed and piercing into the void. In the blink of an eye, they fill the entire space in the belly of the "Endless Flame" mountain.
"You can single-handedly kill Zhou Shisan and the twelve powerful men around him, which shows that you are quite strong. You may have some unknown trump cards, but...hehe, in the fire domain, we Wind Walkers are invincible. of."
An extremely confident smile appeared on 'Yao's face.
This confidence is not blind.
It is the confidence that has been forged through countless battles.
'Yao" laughed and said: "Why do you think I was talking nonsense to you just now? It was just to activate my magical powers. As long as there is enough time, I can turn this entire area into my own domain. The high temperature burns everything, even your fragmented imperial weapon cannot completely cut it off...how can you deal with it?"
Thousands of magma pillars emit terrifying heat that can destroy the world. They rotate like dragons, wind like dragons, or twist like vines, constantly shuttling and weaving densely.
The space around Li Xiaofei and others was constantly being compressed.
Here, it has completely become the home ground of 'Yao'.
He stood among them like a god controlling the world.
The reason why the Windrunner clan can become the boss in the Fire Realm is because their innate magical powers can bring out the terror of the Fire Realm to the extreme.
He uses wind to control fire and wind to help fire, making him invincible.
Zhu Zhixun and others panicked.
They can feel the power of 'Yao'.
That is a terrifying existence beyond the limit.
The few of them no longer dared to neglect, and took out all the strange magic weapons obtained at the [Immortal Burial Ice Cliff] such as black pots, fire sticks, barbecue grills, and big hammers, and sacrificed them individually for self-defense.
Xiong Gang stared at 'Yao', preparing to try to put it into the pot for sacrifice.
But just then——
call out.
A dark red sword light passed by.
'Yao', who originally had a confident smile on his face, suddenly froze up.
He looked down subconsciously.
But he saw a dark red sword pierced through his chest at some point, and the tip of the sword leaked out.
Blood dripped.
Immediately it flew back.
The tip of the sword had inexplicable magic power, and it instantly sucked up the blood all over 'Yao''s body, absorbing all his energy and essence of flesh and blood in an instant.
Without the protection of energy, 'Yao' almost instantly turned into a cloud of ash and disappeared directly.
An eighth-level reaper occupies the right time and place, completes the activation and chanting of magical powers, and his combat power reaches its peak, but he suddenly dies at the peak.
He didn't even have time to say a single death sentence.
"died?"
"What just... happened?"
Zhu Zhixun and others' eyes widened.
They couldn't understand what just happened.
'Yao', an eighth-level top reaper dignitary who originally had the absolute upper hand, suddenly disappeared out of thin air like a fart.
And with the fall of 'Yao', the terrifying magma pillars also split and fell, losing the stimulation of magical power, and hit the sea of magma below heavily.
Crisis resolved.
There was a trace of contempt on Li Xiaofei's face.
"You are waiting for the chant, and I am also waiting for the CD."
He waved.
The red sword came to his side.
Blood-drinking sword!
In order to win the battle quickly, Li Xiaofei directly took out the killing card from the bottom of the box this time and instantly killed 'Yao' with the imperial weapon Blood Drinking Sword.
Greed is always the original sin at any time and in any place.
Poor "Yao", such a majestic leader of the Windrunners, died in the "Endless Flame" volcano inexplicably because he was greedy for the bounty offered by the Leaf Bird clan. ..
There were no bones left immediately.
On the contrary, the blood-drinking sword absorbed the energy of an eighth-level reaper, and its power increased again.
And as expected, after refining the energy, he fed Li Xiaofei back.
Pure immortal power once again poured into Li Xiaofei's body, nourishing his body.
At this time, Liu Shaji returned.
"There's no one else outside, this guy really came alone."
Chicken Brother said.
Brother Ji was not surprised that Li Xiaofei solved the problem so quickly.
Because he knew what Li Xiaofei’s trump card was.
And his calm reaction made Zhu Zhixun and others even more shocked and excited.
The absolute strength displayed by the two people caused the success rate of the "Operation to Save [Sword Immortal] Lin Beichen" to skyrocket.
Maybe, this is God's will?
The fate of the human race is finally returning.
Zhu Zhixun and others thought so.
"It seems that we can only go downstairs and take a look."
Brother Ji stared at the magma below and said: "Everyone, be careful. The temperature inside the magma may exceed the outside by dozens or hundreds of times. It will be very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed physically and mentally."
He held out a silver sword.
This is the weapon he purchased in the human universe before he came.
A long sword at the level of an immortal weapon.
The sword buzzed and vibrated.
The lotus blooms nine times.
The nine sword qi pierced into the magma, just like a scepter dividing water, dividing the magma below.
"Walk."
Liu Shaji once again took the lead and opened the way.
Zhu Zhixun and others did not hesitate, each holding a strange treasure and followed closely behind.
Li Xiaofei stopped.
The blazing ultra-high temperature made everyone's skin tingle.
Zhu Zhixun and others were not strong enough. Even though they had fire-proof objects, they still felt the burning pain.
The skin under the armor even started to smoke.
Continuously carbonized and restored.
"There are formation obstacles below."
Liu Shaji's voice came, filled with joy.
It's a good thing to have formations.
This shows that this is indeed a suspicious formation.
Without hesitation, Lord Jin took out the [Jade of Time], activated it, and cracked the formation below.
So back and forth.
It dived ten thousand meters deep into the magma.
Sudden--
Bo.
There was a sound like a bubble being popped suddenly.
Everyone felt their eyes light up, and then the omnipresent terrifying burning power suddenly disappeared.
The magma is also gone.
A strange silver-white space appeared around everyone.
Just like the last time at the [Immortal Burial Ice Cliff], this silver-white space was filled with a sacred and bright atmosphere, making everyone feel extremely comfortable. ..
Like a fish returning to the water.
The burning wounds on everyone's bodies also disappeared quickly.
The tired spirit also became full.
"This is the aura of [Sword Immortal] Senior Lin."
Zhu Zhixun said with great joy.
Li Xiaofei's face also showed excitement.
That's right.
This smell is so familiar.
It was the aura of [Sword Immortal] Lin Beichen.
It cannot be said that it is exactly the same as the aura under the abyss cliff of [Immortal Burial Ice Cliff], it can only be said that there is no difference.
right here!
No matter whether [Sword Immortal] Lin Beichen is here or not.
There must be clues left by him here.
Everyone immediately started looking around.
This strange silver-white space should also be the underground volcanic world of [Endless Flame]. It is just a comfortable area suitable for human activities created by the power of the Sword Immortal to remove the magma.
The height is 10,000 meters.
The left and right widths are based on the original scale of the mountainside space.
As expected.
There is a man-made cave on the rock wall at the belly of the mountain.
Familiar three bedrooms and one living room.
Stone bed and stone chair.
There is a dry old tree in the activity area at the door.
Gray-white bark, violent branches, no leaves, no life at all.
But at the top of the canopy, there is a half-petrified leaf.
The surface of this leaf is solid, but the inside is vaguely green, with clear veins, and a beauty like a work of art.
There is a stone table under the tree.
There is a teapot on the table.
Comes with a pair of teacups.
The teapot and teacup are cut out of rock and look simple and simple, with a light red appearance and no carved patterns.
Based on the experience last time, it goes without saying that this teapot is definitely a good thing.
Li Xiaofei picked up the teapot and opened the lid.
A faint fragrance wafted out of the teapot.
Just taking a breath, Li Xiaofei felt refreshed and had a feeling of ecstasy.
Baby.
Li Xiaofei came closer to take a look.
Shake.
There was the sound of water inside.
"There's tea in here."
Li Xiaofei looked at Zhu Zhixun and others and said
: "It must have been brewing for decades. Which of you would like to try it?"
"I come."
Xiong Gang was the first to raise his hand.
Li Xiaofei poured a cup of tea.
The tea is amber in color, clear and crystal clear.
Xiong Gang drank it without hesitation.
Then he fell down with a bang.
His eyes were closed tightly and there was no sound.
Damn it.
Li Xiaofei was startled.
Is tea poisonous?
At this time, Liu Shaji walked out of the inner hall. Seeing this, he said, "Did you feed this boy the Enlightenment Tea? Tsk, tsk, he is not at a high level. He probably needs to be drunk for a while to refine the tea's effects before he can wake up." .”
"Enlightenment tea?"
Li Xiaofei said: "His fame seems very cool."
Liu Shaji said: "Can the tea that the five immortal emperors like to drink not be bad? It is a variety cultivated by Empress Hua Xiangrong. Its potency is better than that of flat peach. One sip of tea can last for a thousand years, which is no joke."
A sip of tea is worth a thousand years of practice.
Li Xiaofei's heart moved and he poured himself a glass.
After drinking the amber tea, you will feel relaxed and relaxed.
The immortal power in his body boiled and became extremely active.
Even the immortal power crystals in the Twelve Meridians and Eight Wonderful Veins began to shine brightly, becoming more and more crystal clear.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that one mouthful lasts for a thousand years, the effect is indeed impressive.
"It's indeed a treasure."
He was overjoyed.
Turned his head.
Just look at Zhu Zhixun and others looking at him eagerly.
"You want to drink too? You'll fall asleep after drinking."
Li Xiaofei said.
Liu Shaji said: "You can give them a drink. This kind of opportunity is rare. They deserve it."
Zhu Zhixun licked his lips: "Yes, senior, we have been roasted for so long, our mouths are a little dry."
"Yeah yeah."
Guozi Lian also said.
Several people watched eagerly.
Li Xiaofei is not a stingy person.
So each of them was given a cup.
The four of them drank as if they were drunk.
They all fell down, motionless.
"Let them sleep first."
Liu Shaji nodded with satisfaction.
After saying that, he pointed to the ancient tree next to him and said with gleaming eyes: "The really valuable thing is this thing, the Enlightenment Tree. There are only a few of them in the universe. I didn't expect to see it here, so dig it out quickly." , cultivate it well, just give me a branch when the time comes."
Enlightenment tree?
Li Xiaofei was startled and said, "Then the tea just now was made from the leaves of this tree?"
Liu Shaji nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise, ordinary tea would have gone rancid long ago if it had been stored for such a long time."
Li Xiaofei looked at the ancient tree carefully and said, "But it looks like it's about to die."
This ancient tree looks like it has been petrified.
I can no longer feel any vitality.
Liu Shaji said: "It's just hibernation, not death." "
Li Xiaofei said: "Trees can still hibernate? I don't study well, so don't lie to me."
Liu Shaji said: "The leaves of the tree can still realize enlightenment, but why can't the trunk of the tree hibernate?"
Made.
That makes sense.
Unable to refute.
Li Xiaofei said: "Then how to bring it back to life?"
Liu Shaji said: "Use love."
Li Xiaofei had a black line on his forehead and said frantically: "I'm fucking talking to you about business."
"Just use love."
Liu Shaji said seriously: "Use your immortal power to irrigate it, chat with it every time, loosen the soil, fertilize it, catch insects...it won't take long for it to revive.
Grow again, branch out and sprout. "
Li Xiaofei didn't want to talk anymore.
He walked around the Enlightenment Tree a few times, and having an idea in his mind, he took out the Blood Drinking Sword and dug out all the roots and stems.
Then put it directly into the [Secret Palace of Time] and carefully plant it in a giant stone altar in the center of the hall.
Maybe it's an illusion.
Crash.
The branches seemed to be swaying lightly.
The only leaf had a faint flash of green light.
Returning to the Endless Flame Space, Li Xiaofei asked curiously: "How do you know about the Enlightenment Tree? Have you seen it before?"
While Liu Shaji was searching around, he said, "The Enlightenment Tree was originally cultivated by Empress Hua Xiangrong to achieve enlightenment. It was very famous in the previous life, and everyone in our generation knows it."
"The object of enlightenment?"
Li Xiaofei was a little surprised.
He has seen Hua Xiangrong's strength before.
With every gesture, he has an invincible appearance.
If she attains enlightenment, she must be fighting for the position of Immortal Emperor.
Since this Enlightenment Tree is a righteous thing she cultivated, why is it here?
As if seeing Lin Beichen's doubts, Liu Shaji let out a long sigh.
There was a look of admiration in his eyes, and he said: "Back then, it was almost a matter of course for the empress to attain enlightenment. Unfortunately, at the critical moment, the human race on the Galaxy battlefield suffered a defeat. Countless strong men fell, and countless planets fell. The human race was in the flames of war and death. The people were wailing, and one of the twin ancestors of the reapers, the [Beast Ancestor], invaded forcefully. In order to save thousands of Paoze people, the empress transformed the tree of enlightenment into ten million, escaped into the galaxy, dispersed the foundation of the Tao, and distributed it to all people... …”
Li Xiaofei was shocked when he heard this.
When the enlightenment is imminent, the things of the right path are suddenly divided, and this great opportunity is given to the people of the human race.
It is conceivable that those who obtain the branches and leaves of Enlightenment will definitely become famous and become the martial arts experts of the human race, protecting one side.
But for Hua Xiangrong, if the things of the right path are scattered, it is equivalent to cutting off the fruit of the path.
No more heights can be reached.
Who can make this kind of sacrifice?
Li Xiaofei asked himself, if it were him, he would never be able to sacrifice to this point.
All living beings, billions of living beings.
Who doesn’t want to stand at the top of this world?
Who is willing to give up if given the chance?
Seeing the shocked look on Li Xiaofei's face, Liu Shaji chuckled and said, "You boy, you still have a long way to go to become an Immortal Emperor. Although you have been going smoothly all the way, that's because you haven't Entering the true realm of the emperor, there is no confrontation with the real strong. There are great people like Empress Hua Xiangrong. Our human race is not the only one. You will never imagine the sacrifices made by the five immortal emperors. Each of them carries the responsibility of the human race. The strong men of destiny are fighting in the vast dark universe and dedicating everything. You must grow up quickly and shoulder your own responsibilities."
Li Xiaofei nodded seriously.
He asked again: "Since it has transformed into thousands, there should be many Enlightenment Trees in the universe, right?"
Liu Shaji said: "Yes, there were people who obtained the Enlightenment Tree and achieved great achievements. Many strong human beings who rose up with the Enlightenment Tree eventually died on the Galaxy battlefield, but their deadly battles defended the The people of the human race have defended the Galaxy Front and bought valuable development time for the human race."
"Why does this Enlightenment Tree appear here?"
Li Xiaofei asked again.
Normally speaking, with the realm of Sword Immortal Lin Beichen, he shouldn't need the Enlightenment Tree to enhance his cultivation.
"It is said that the five immortal emperors once tried to reproduce the completed Enlightenment Tree to give Empress Hua Xiangrong another chance to achieve enlightenment. Maybe Lin Beichen wanted to use this tree to try. As for why he kept it in the end Here, I don’t know either.”
Liu Shaji said.
While the two were talking, they searched inside and outside the cave.
Finally, Liu Shaji came to the living room in the cave.
He stood quietly, looking at a wordless stone pillar in the center of the living room, and suddenly stood still, as if sensing something.
"how?"
Li Xiaofei asked doubtfully.
Liu Shaji said: "It's very strange. Every time I see this stone pillar, I always feel that it is very friendly. But no matter how carefully I look, I can't find anything else. It is just a pillar cut out of volcanic rock. There is nothing Immediately, why do you think this is?"
Li Xiaofei looked at the stone pillar carefully.
Indeed, as Liu Shaji said, it is very ordinary.
There are no writings or patterns on it.
The material can also be distinguished, it is volcanic rock.
Nothing special.
"Tell me, why did Senior Lin Beichen erect such a stone pillar in the center of the living room? It seems to have no function, but it is placed so conspicuously."
Li Xiaofei said: "I also feel that it seems to be hinting at something."
Liu Shaji scratched his head in distress.
He felt that this stone pillar was very friendly.
But I couldn't see any clues.
Li Xiaofei reached out and touched the stone pillar.
Warm touch.
It's like touching a lover's skin.
He thought for a moment and summoned the blood-drinking sword.
Just strike out with a sword.
"Huh? What are you doing...fuck you."
When Liu Shaji wanted to stop him, it was already too late.
The stone pillar was split open with a sword.
split into two.
Hollow.
A ball of silvery white light leaked out instantly.
