Emperor Yan, this is the name Shi Chishang gave to his fire-type clone.
As bright as an emperor, the flames were overwhelming. At the moment when the emperor's flame clone was completely completed, Shi Chishang felt that the temperature of the surrounding sea of fire suddenly dropped a lot thanks to the bond of soul between the two.
Of course, it is not that the temperature of this layer of fire realm has actually dropped, but that through the neutralization of the Emperor Flame clone, Shi Chishang's resistance to the flames here has increased.
Immersing his attention completely in the clone, Shi Chishang carefully inspected every part, worrying whether there would be any critical flaws due to omissions.
While he was concentrating on the whole-body examination, Shi Chishang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, but there was no change in the aura of his body, as if he was still focusing on the Emperor Yan clone.
After a while, Shi Chishang nodded and took the Emperor Flame clone into the Soul Kingdom with a satisfied look on his face. He turned around and seemed to leave, but suddenly he twisted his body and turned into a red shadow that jumped out several feet and rushed towards the seventh layer of fire. area.
With Soul Nation borrowing the power of the Imperial Flame Clone, Shi Chishang's resistance to flames increased nearly ten times. The seventh level of fire domain that was originally fatal was only a slight threat to him at this moment.
With a bang, Shi Chishang crashed into the sea of dark golden fire. He pulled out the Styx Sword and slashed forward, successfully forcing out a ball of platinum flames that contained crimson and gilt.
The flame was white-gold in color, with a crystalline soft light lingering on the surface, making it look extremely holy. The most important thing was that there were several red gilt lines in the flame that were outlined in the shape of a phoenix flying.
"Nirvana fire!"
When he saw the crimson gilt, Shi Chishang's heart trembled, and he quickly recalled the information about the Nirvana Fire that he had read before, and then without hesitation, he released the clone of Emperor Yan, and his own body collapsed into a single point and submerged into the clone. With that super high fire affinity, he used fire escape to chase directly towards the Nirvana Fire.
Shi Chishang didn't know how he was so lucky to encounter the Nirvana Fire by chance after refining the Emperor Flame clone. However, this fire was rare in the world. If he could catch it, whether it was sold or exchanged with others, It is undoubtedly a business made with blood.
*——*——*
Almost a few breaths after Shi Chishang entered the seventh level of fire domain, three figures came from a distance one after another. They were Shen Lian, Xing Zhen, and Dao Prince.
Just approaching this area, Shen Lian's nose twitched, as if he sensed something, and his face couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise: "It's the breath of Nirvana Fire, on the seventh floor!"
boom! Xing Zhen didn't hesitate, punching Shen Lian and Dao Prince with two consecutive punches, while he himself crashed into the seventh layer of fire with chains all over his body.
Unexpectedly, he was able to seize the opportunity. Both Dao Prince and Shen Lian's faces darkened. While taking action to neutralize the strength of their fists, they followed Xing Zhen and broke into the sea of dark golden fire together.
*——*——*
After clinging tightly to the Nirvana Fire, Shi Chishang gradually penetrated deep into the back of the seventh layer of fire domain, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise. Fortunately, the Emperor Yan clone had pure fire power, and the Hanli clone was released in the body. The cold power neutralizes the flames, so so far, the surrounding temperature is still within his control.
After all, this is the home ground of the Nirvana Fire. Although Shi Chi Shang clung to it, he was never able to catch up with the Nirvana Fire. The latter quickly traveled through the fire domain at a speed that was not inferior to Shi Chi Shang's Fire Escape. And it continuously triggered the surrounding dark golden flames to turn into walls of fire, blocking Chi Shang's pursuit.
He slashed through a wall of fire again with his sword, and Shi Chi Shang continued to pursue fiercely, but he was stunned because he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a huge palace in the direction where the Nirvana Fire fled.
"Palace?" Shi Chishang was extremely surprised. It has been more than three hundred years since the Phoenix Breathing Realm was discovered by the Yin Yang Sect. Each level of the fire realm has been carefully explored. If there is a palace, it should not be able to escape the induction of those predecessors in the past. That's right?
It's just that he was surprised. Shi Chishang did not slow down his fire escape speed. Instead, he used the cover of the dark golden flames around him to quietly display the Youwu Sword Wings. However, being careful, he still used his fire power to turn into flames to wrap the sword. wing.
In an instant, Shichi Shang's speed surged, and he took the lead in crossing hundreds of feet before dozens of fire walls could condense and form, almost catching up to the Nirvana Fire.
His sudden explosion obviously frightened Nirvana Fire. The latter's fire body shrank suddenly, and then also exploded, leaping hundreds of feet, narrowly escaping Shi Chishang's grasp.
Shi Chi Shang was not discouraged even after he missed the catch. He was filled with yang energy, and his whole body quickly turned into a ball of scorching sun.
Different from the usual crimson red, the blazing sun he transformed at this moment was actually as pure black as ink. All the heat and flame energy were concentrated and compressed by him, causing an indescribable terrifying gravitational force to explode in an instant, causing the surrounding dark golden color to surge. The flames surged toward him uncontrollably.
The Nirvana Fire hundreds of feet away in front was also affected by the gravitational pull. The escape speed that was originally comparable to Shi Chishang suddenly dropped sharply, causing the distance between the two to shrink rapidly.
Amidst the whistling sound, Shi Chishang was already approaching the Nirvana Fire quickly, and he was about to capture it before he saw it. The Nirvana Fire suddenly vibrated violently, and wisps of fire light scattered in all directions. The size shrank by two-thirds again, leaving only The Nirvana Fire, which was less than one-third of its volume, let out a clear phoenix cry, once again broke away from Shi Chi Shang's gravity, and fled in a hurry.
He missed again, Shi Chishang's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he was not angry. While continuing to chase, his soul consciousness brushed around, sweeping away most of the fine flames scattered by the Nirvana Fire, and introduced it into the body of the Emperor Yan clone.
These exploded flames all contained fragments of the Nirvana Avenue. Although they were all so fragmented that they were almost reduced to slag, but with the Mirror Soul Seal, Shi Chishang was confident that given time, he would be able to simulate the complete Nirvana Avenue.
The chase and escape lasted for three days, and Shi Chishang finally saw clearly the palace that he had almost thought was an illusion.
It was a huge, gilded palace with seven floors. The white-gold walls were dotted with gracefully curved red-gold patterns. A flying red-gold divine phoenix was outlined on the surface of the entire palace.
This may have once been the residence of the black phoenix. However, with the death of the former, this palace hidden in the other's inner universe was also close to destruction. Five of the seven floors were close to collapse, leaving only the ruins of broken walls. Fortunately, The white-gold wall still exudes a faint light, making the entire ruins still maintain that sense of holiness.
With a swish sound, the sun transformed by Shi Chi Shang stopped outside the palace, and he watched helplessly as the Nirvana Fire quickly entered the palace gate.
In fact, in half a day, he was sure that he could capture the Nirvana Fire. However, this place was the opponent's home court, and he didn't know if there were any remaining restrictions in the palace.
After all, it was the residence left by the Black Phoenix of the sixth-order Ming Zun. No matter how conceited Shi Chishang was, he would not dare to break in at will.
After walking around the platinum palace, Shi Chishang's soul carefully and carefully peeked into every place inside and outside the palace. Sure enough, after carefully studying the incense for a while, he found something in the void outside the palace. There are several dark lines.
These underworld patterns are all between reality and reality. Even if ordinary people find the clues, they cannot explore them in depth. However, when refining the water and fire clones, Shi Chishang has integrated the virtual and reality methods that originally belonged to the two paths of yin and yang into the soul avenue. , making his understanding of reality and reality more profound.
Following these vague and vague dark patterns, Shi Chishang gradually gained insight into more dark patterns. These red-gold dark patterns were overwhelming, forming a huge formation that completely enveloped the entire palace.
Touching his chin, Shi Chishang looked thoughtful. He didn't know how powerful this formation was, and he could see that this formation was on the verge of collapse like the palace. However, the more damaged the formation was, the more likely it was that it would collapse. Don't take it lightly, who knows how much power it still has.
Shi Chishang didn't have high attainments in formations. He studied back and forth for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He was thinking hard outside the hall when he suddenly noticed the sound of breaking through the air behind him. He didn't look back, and his soul consciousness swept back. He suddenly smiled.
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw tens of thousands of feet away, Xing Zhen, Dao Prince, and Shen Lian were protected by an orange-red talisman, flying quickly through the sea of fire towards him.
Shi Chi Shang was not alarmed when he saw a few people showing up. Anyway, the appearance and aura of Emperor Yan's clone were the same as his own. As long as he hid in the clone with peace of mind, he didn't have to worry about the other party finding out the clues.
In fact, just as Shi Chishang expected, when the people from Xingzhen arrived at him, they first looked at him curiously or inquiringly, and then their attention was attracted to the palace in front of them.
"There is actually a palace within Phoenix Breath?" Shen Lian's face showed excitement. "Could it be the palace of the black phoenix from the past? Could the Nirvana Fire be inside?" The last question was about Shi Chishang.
Shi Chishang nodded, and before he could speak, Xing Zhen raised his hand and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Interesting, interesting, I dare you to hide your clumsiness. You have already broken through to the Underworld Emperor, and you were pretending to be the late stage Underworld Emperor." , but with your cultivation, you can actually rush into the eighth floor, how interesting it is!"
"Eighth floor?" Shi Chishang was startled. He thought he was still on the seventh floor. It seemed that he was too focused on catching up and didn't realize it. No wonder the temperature at this moment was slightly different from when he first entered the seventh floor. There is improvement.
However, compared to Shi Chishang who was safe and sound, the three of Xing Zhen looked much embarrassed. Xing Zhen's body was covered with blood blisters from burns, and most of the iron ropes wrapped around his body had collapsed. The Dao Prince was disgraced, and his whole body was covered in flames. After passing through the ashes, the divine refinement increased even more, and the soul shrank and hid directly in the big cauldron.
As for the talisman above the heads of the three people, Shi Chishang observed it and found that it was probably made by a Mingzun-level boss, otherwise he would not be able to protect several people from entering the seventh level of fire domain.
Withdrawing his gaze, Shi Chishang saw that several people were observing the palace. Knowing that they were all worried about possible fraud, he said, "I have seen it. There is a remnant formation outside the palace, but I don't know much about the formation. I don't know. Can this formation still work?"
"Is there a formation?" Xing Zhen scratched his bald forehead and turned to look at Prince Dao and Shen Lian, "What do you two think?"
Both Dao Prince and Shen Lian had studied formations. The former took a few steps back and forth, took out a jar, took out a handful of powder and threw it forward. He observed it intently for a moment, frowned and said: "There are formations, look at the formation patterns. The style is very ancient, Divine Refining, what do you think?"
Shen Lian was hiding in the cauldron and didn't know what he was doing. He was silent for a while and then said: "Well, at least it's the formation from the prehistoric era. What I studied before was mainly the formation that was biased towards gathering energy in ancient times. I don’t know much about this.”
"I'm about the same." Prince Dao looked solemn and thought secretly.
Although formations are not the most powerful path among the Seven Realms and Liuhe, their internal composition is extremely complex. From the prehistoric period, to the ancient times, and now, tens of thousands of formation schools have appeared in the three eras.
Dao Prince and Shen Lian studied formations in order to better control firepower when refining weapons and elixirs, so they also studied formations that focused on condensing, stabilizing, and suppressing the energy of the world.
