The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 609 Fire Spirit Clan_1

It was clear that this peak Class IV Fire Spirit was already enraged to its utmost.

At this point, it was using magic to cover a thousand miles around it in blazing flames, turning this place into a fiery inferno, thereby consuming its origin power.

After this battle, even if it didn’t sustain any damage, its Cultivation Realm would fall significantly, and it would need to cultivate for a hundred and eighty years to recover! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

However, compared to the theft of the sacred fire from their clan, this loss was negligible.

Samadhi True Fire could refine Essence and Qi, allowing extraordinary creatures to continue to evolve and transform. It was not only useful for cultivators but also greatly beneficial for the cultivation of Fire-type creatures.

Otherwise, the Fire Spirit clan wouldn’t have been able to produce so many Class IV powerhouses!

Therefore, for the top Fire Spirit Powerhouses present, the sacred fire of their clan was not just a symbol of faith; it was related to the prosperity or decline of the entire race, and more so, to their very destinies!

This peak Class IV humanoid Fire Spirit was willing to consume its origin power, turning this place into a sea of fire, for multiple reasons.

Firstly, of course, it was to suppress Zhu Zhao and the other Sword Alliance cultivators.

They were already fighting away from home. Relying on the Fire Scale Dragon Boat and various powerful means, they had suppressed the Fire Spirit Powerhouses, causing them to suffer massive losses.

Now, thousands of miles around had been turned into a blazing Fire Hell. Even the specially built Dragon Boat was feeling the strain; the fire Dragon Scales on its hull were constantly exploding due to the excessive burden, causing great damage to the Prohibitions.

This forced Zhu Zhao and the other seven people to take measures to suppress the raging sea of fire, lest the magic ship be utterly destroyed!

Other Fire Spirit Powerhouses already had the blessings of volcanic magma and the sky-high sea of fire, and now, reveling in the ocean of blazing flames, their strength increased even more...

The means and Spells employed by Fire Spirit Powerhouses below Class IV saw their power increase by a tier.

As for those above Class IV, although the increase wasn’t as significant, they obviously became far more fierce. Under the onslaught of various Fire-type magic, another Sword Alliance powerhouse sustained serious injuries, making it difficult to exert his full fighting power!

Secondly, it wanted to force the thief who had stolen the sacred fire to reveal himself.

From the incoming firelight, this peak Class IV humanoid Fire Spirit had learned of Yang Chengxiong’s abilities, acknowledging his unparalleled Skill in concealment.

To prevent this person from successfully converging with other Sword Alliance cultivators, it was willing to expend its power to turn the surrounding areas into a Fire Hell, believing that even if his Escape Skill were sophisticated, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the fire’s burning and would consequently expose his tracks!

Its plot was not fruitless; after dozens of breaths, an area at the edge of the sea of fire mysteriously dimmed. The next instant, the surrounding raging fire surged, filling in the momentary weakness in the fire wave at that spot.

And Yang Chengxiong’s figure was also instantly exposed. He was shrouded in a water-light barrier transformed from a High-Level Talisman, making desperate efforts to offset the licking flames.

However, the fierce fire created by a Class IV peak Fire Spirit Powerhouse consuming its origin power was something even Zhu Zhao dreaded.

How could Yang Chengxiong, relying solely on his High-Level Talismans and Fire-avoiding treasure, easily block the fiery burning and pass through this sea of fire to successfully meet Zhu Zhao and the others?

Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, he was burned by the flames to the point of screaming. He constantly activated Talismans and Fire-avoiding treasures, struggling to hold on in the sea of fire, crying out, "Elder Zhu, I’ve stolen the Samadhi True Fire! Quick, save me!"

Yang Chengxiong was well aware that, to Elder Zhu Zhao, he was nothing more than a chess piece that could be easily discarded. The Samadhi True Fire was the object Zhu Zhao truly coveted.

Therefore, instead of presenting the treasured cauldron that held the Samadhi True Fire for Zhu Zhao to take directly, he had placed it inside his Universe Bag and hidden it on his person. If Zhu Zhao wanted the Samadhi True Fire, he would have to do his utmost to save him from the sea of fire, rather than taking the treasured cauldron and then leaving him to the vengeance of these Fire Spirit Powerhouses!

Hearing Yang Chengxiong’s cry, a flash of cold light passed through Zhu Zhao’s eyes; he was clearly displeased that Yang Chengxiong had not followed the prearranged plan.

However, Zhu Zhao also knew that in such a situation, it was impractical to expect Yang Chengxiong to present the treasured cauldron. There was no time to investigate further at the moment. He violently stamped on the Fire Scale Dragon Boat, his body shimmering with spirit light, suppressing the rolling waves of fire as he flew towards Yang Chengxiong’s position.

At the same time, his middle-grade spiritual level magic sword slashed out an awe-inspiring, powerful sword Qi, cutting towards the flames around Yang Chengxiong to buy him a few more moments to hold on!

Joining him in action were the powerhouses of the Fire Spirit clan.

Battling Zhu Zhao and the Sword Alliance cultivators, aside from the humanoid Fire Spirit, was another Fire Spirit Powerhouse in the form of a primitive flame, whose Cultivation Realm had also reached the peak of Class IV.

The former, having transformed into a flame giant, was consuming its origin power. It swung its Magma Trident, which pulsed with immense might, thrusting it towards Zhu Zhao, who had already shot away from the Dragon Boat as an escaping light. Nearby waves of fire roiled, surging towards Zhu Zhao along with the Magma Trident!

Meanwhile, the latter transformed into a streak of fire and rapidly charged towards Yang Chengxiong. Whip-like flames shot from its body, lashing towards Yang Chengxiong with terrifying force.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhao quickly analyzed the time it would take to repel the Magma Trident and its accompanying fiery onslaught. He realized that if he got entangled, he might not be able to save Yang Chengxiong in time.

Thus, he acted decisively, summoning a mountain-like magic treasure that seemed to be entirely forged from refined iron. It bravely collided with the Magma Trident. In the earth-shattering impact, Tieshan blocked the attack, but nearly half of its peak melted under the scorching flames, flowing down like molten iron as it began to disintegrate.

However, Zhu Zhao felt no distress over this low-grade Spiritual Artifact. Ignoring the wails and pleas for help from the Artifact Spirit within, he took out a Feather Transformation Charm and, fueling it with his True Yuan, transformed into a puff of green smoke and vanished.

Although this talisman was also a Feather Transformation Charm, it was of a much higher rank—Grade Six. It shared the same fundamental nature as a Grade Four Feather Transformation Charm, but its power was significantly greater due to its superior grade.

In the cultivation world, many Talismans, Elixirs, and other spiritual items up to Grade Four already covered the vast majority of uses and effects. Many subsequent high-class Talismans and Elixirs were simply enhancements of these foundational items, with nearly identical effects, and thus bore no new names, distinguished only by their grade.

Many Formations followed a similar principle, like the commonly used Spirit Gathering Array, which ranged from Grade One to Grade Six.

In such an extremely intense environment, an ordinary Grade Four Feather Transformation Charm would be unable to achieve its intended effect; for Zhu Zhao to instantly teleport several miles would have been remarkable enough.

However, the power of a Grade Six Feather Transformation Charm was considerably stronger. When Zhu Zhao reappeared, he was already two hundred miles away, having evaded the humanoid Fire Spirit’s attack and arrived ahead of the flame-shaped Fire Spirit Powerhouse!

Then, with a backhand motion, he unleashed several slashes. Sword Qi, as solid as real blades and dazzlingly bright, shot out and severed the whip-like flames the other Fire Spirit had lashed towards Yang Chengxiong.

The two peak Class IV Fire Spirit Powerhouses naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch Zhu Zhao rescue Yang Chengxiong and take their clan’s sacred fire. They both transformed into streaks of fire and gave chase, their ferocious attacks never ceasing for a moment.

However, taking advantage of his High-Level Talismans, Zhu Zhao had seized the initiative and was clearly going to reach Yang Chengxiong first!

Just then, a spiritually-charged Flying Sword, carrying sharp Sword Qi, flew in like a meteor from outside the sea of fire.

It cut through the rolling fire waves, heading straight for Yang Chengxiong!
