What is earth fire?
To put it bluntly, it is the fire underground.
In common parlance on earth, earth fire can be attributed to "lava". A complex natural phenomenon that belongs to the actual existence of the planet.
In fact, although lava also exists deep underground and can even be said to be a major contributor to the origin of life, in another cognitive system, lava is just lava, not earthly fire.
There is a saying that has been spread for a long time and is called "Thunder from the sky and fire from the earth". What this actually talks about is the principle that energies of the same nature induce each other. It means that thunder from the sky and fire from the earth are of the same nature and they can be compatible.
What is the nature of thunder? To the most positive and most yang.
Since the earth's fire has the same nature as the sky, it is naturally the most powerful and the most yang.
And the earth fire here is not talking about lava, but the fire between heaven and earth, which belongs to the five elements of fire that are silent in the same position as the lava.
What are Zhang Yan's five elements fire attributes like? That's naturally not good. After all, weapon refining relies on the convenience of his weird black and white elixir fire, and has nothing to do with the fire method he masters.
But Earth Fire is an exception. Because although earth fire belongs to the fire attribute, it is more inclined to use the five elements' earth attribute methods to control it.
Think of it like squeezing lemon juice. What you squeeze hard is the rind, and the juice is squeezed out through the rind. The five elements of earth are the squeezed layer of "lemon peel", and the earth fire that emerges is the "lemon juice".
Even the actual situation is very similar to "squeezing lemon juice". The ground fire that comes out will not burst out like a volcanic eruption, but will emerge evenly from the incision little by little like when the lemon juice comes out.
It seems like flowers are blooming everywhere, not only in the dark and empty mine tunnels, but also in the spaces filled with earth and rocks. Just like the countless stars in Zhang Yan's perception.
As mentioned before, the essence of earth fire is fire extruded from the earth. If you want to control these fires, the easiest way is to continue to use the five elements of earth method, first move the earth and rocks like waves, and let the earth and rocks spin. The earth fire that was continuously squeezed out gradually gathered into a stream of fire, and then together with the nearly ten thousand stone bats, they entangled themselves with the so-called earth beasts set up by the ghosts.
This time it was not just "cannibalizing" like a stone bat, but a red-hot iron was directly wrapped around the opponent's body. No matter how tough it is, it can't stop the scorching heat of the terrifying sun fire. Even if the five elements of earth are used as a counterweight to some of the outer shell, it can't stop the rapidly rising concentration of yang energy, coupled with the stone bats biting open it bit by bit. A small opening is like a dam that breaks in an ant nest. It only collapses in an instant.
"The heaven and earth are natural, and the filthy energy is dispersed. The cave is mysterious and shining, and Taiyuan..."
The Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth began to be chanted from Zhang Yan's mouth, and his voice was trembling, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, word by word, reaching directly into the depths of the souls of ghosts, suppressing all the evil spirits and even the hostility in their souls.
The same "God's Curse for Purifying Heaven and Earth" that Zhang Yan chanted when he was still in the Qi-entraining stage is completely different from chanting it now after returning to the divine state.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Saint King Yonghe also felt that he still underestimated Zhang Yan. The opponent not only relies on thunder to show off his cruelty, but other methods are no worse than thunder. In the previous confrontation, Yonghe Holy King could clearly feel that even though he brought hundreds of spirit generals and more than ten Holy Kings with him and used powerful multi-on-one moves like earth beasts, he was still unable to do anything to the opponent. In turn, the other party came up with two new methods that they had never seen before, and the whole situation began to slide in the direction that was unfavorable to them.
Thinking of the past experience of almost total death in Langyuan City, Holy King Yonghe quickly thought of quitting. In addition, if we continue to work hard like this, not only will the entrance and exit of this Death Silence Road be blocked, but we will also lose the lives of countless spiritual people under our command.
Or should we avoid it first? The lesser of two evils?
But how could Zhang Yan end his tactics like this? of course not. The Pure Yang Sword in his hand was inserted into the ground, temporarily serving as the center of the formation. With it as the center point, the few Tiangang pillars that Zhang Yan had seemingly failed to arrange were connected together, and the power of the formation instantly rose. , like an invisible barrier, it enveloped the entire area of nearly twenty feet around Zhang Yan.
This is a package that covers all directions from top to bottom, left, and right. Although it does not cover all the ghosts present, it still covers nearly 70%, including the Great Sage King Yonghe.
If I don’t have any confidence, I will fight to the death with you underground?
It was only at this moment that all the ghosts felt that they were suddenly in trouble, even in a desperate situation.
"The evil will dissipate and the energy will remain forever!"
Every time the chanting of "The Divine Curse of Purifying Heaven and Earth" is completed, ghosts who can't stand it will fall out of the combination of earth beasts.
Ghosts that have been eroded by yang energy to the point where their souls can't stabilize their souls become extremely vulnerable in the face of the Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Curse. In addition, although these Tiangang Pillars cannot form a twelve-Tiangang formation, the talismans and spiritual stones in them are enough to serve as the salvation power of the "Sutra of Explanation of Wrongs and Eradication of Sins".
If you run, you can't escape; if you fight, you can't fight.
So the scene is a bit muddled. Zhang Yan doesn't even need to confront the opponent head-on. He only needs to contain the opponent's movements from the side so that he can't break through the formation with all his strength and escape.
The magic circle pulled out by several Tiangang pillars was not that strong. But with the pure Yang sword as the magic weapon as the center of the formation, and Zhang Yan personally conducting the formation, the power can be greatly increased.
Now this temporary formation is like a stuffy jar filled with predatory ants, and the ghosts are the mice in the jar. The struggle will only gradually weaken, and finally it will be eaten into a pile of bones.
The ghosts even used soul blast as a last-ditch attack. Zhang Yan was forced to break away from the formation and did not dare to face the power of the soul blast.
But it would be too childish to break through the magic circle involved in the Tiangang Pillar with a simple and crude method like Soul Explosion, let alone seal the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road. The magic circle will either be dismantled along the lines of the magic circle, or the foundation of the magic circle layout will be destroyed. Generally those who rely on hard power to break through the magic circle choose the second option.
But now the Tiangang Pillar is arranged in a deeper place. If you want to directly destroy the Tiangang Pillar, the ghosts present, including the ghost kings, must grit their teeth and sacrifice at least 30% of them with a soul explosion, otherwise it will be impossible to break the formation. And in doing so, the other ghosts trapped in the formation will be involved in the soul explosion the moment the formation is broken. It is an act of killing one thousand enemies and damaging one's own one thousand.
So Zhang Yan came out of the formation at this time and didn't care about the scattered ghosts scattered around. They were frightened and swarmed towards the entrance of the Dead Silence Road in the depths.
It's a pity that we can't catch them all in one go. But thinking that the big head was trapped in the formation, Zhang Yan felt very comfortable. He was even curious about how much merit and spiritual energy that big ghost king could bring to him in the end.
But just when Zhang Yan's attention returned to the magic circle from the fleeing ghosts, a beam of extreme Yin with strong power of the Five Elements of Earth suddenly shot out from the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road in the deep mine below. come out.
In less than a breath, it was like a giant blade slashing from bottom to top, directly smashing one of the Tiangang pillars wherever it passed. Without stopping, it continued to chop towards Zhang Yan and brought it up. The huge force made Zhang Yan stand on his head with hair all over his body, not daring to block its edge at all. He launched his escape technique, and when he quickly escaped, he was only able to match the speed of the giant blade slashing at him through the earth and rocks...
