#504 - Eighth Generation: Zhou Xun died with his body and soul burned!

"Senior Mo Jiao is dead?"

Saw the headless body lying in a pool of blood.

Yao Hong, who was originally trying his best to break through the level, was now so frightened that he almost stumbled and fell directly from the mountainside.

You must know that the Mo Jiao has practiced Taoism for thousands of years and is the undisputed king of the Lingxu ferocious beast lineage!

Not to mention.

After he swallowed the Demon King's precious pill, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he stepped into the Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm in one fell swoop.

Looking at the entire Lingxu Cave, they are the most powerful existences that are unique.

Originally, with Mo Jiao's full support, Yao Hong could not only successfully obtain the inheritance of destiny, but also take this opportunity to gain control of the Lingxu Secret Realm in one fell swoop.

But who knew that a dark horse like Lu Yuan would suddenly appear and cut off the head of the black dragon with a single sword with thunderous means!

It's no exaggeration to say.

With this sword, Lu Yuan not only killed the thousand-year-old demon king Mo Jiao, but also directly destroyed all hopes of the East China Sea demon clan.

The East China Sea demon clan’s years of planning were all in vain and completely wasted!

"How could this happen? How could my East Sea demon clan possibly fail!"

Yao Hong roared in anger, his heart filled with endless regret and unwillingness.

But just when he was excited, he accidentally touched a certain restriction.

In order to select a qualified successor to his mantle, Master Lingxu set up a number of tests on this thousand-foot-high mountain.

These tests are extremely dangerous and any negligence could result in loss of life.

Yao Hong lost control of his emotions and forgot that he was still taking the test.

"boom!"

The formation was activated, and murderous intent emerged.

In an instant.

Yao Hong was trapped in a desperate situation and was ultimately powerless to recover. He was directly blasted into a ball of blood mist by the formation!

As the instigator of all this, Lu Yuan was completely unaware of it.

But even if he knew about Yao Hong's existence, he wouldn't care.

With his current strength, he is able to stand on equal footing with the mighty ones with destiny. Why would he care about a tiny genius from the demon clan?

"The Green Dragon is dead. The ferocious beast lineage is leaderless and will never achieve anything."

"Will you stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for me, or will you come with me to Lingxu Palace?"

Lu Yuan looked at Luo Xin and the others and asked casually.

"Lingxu Palace has many restrictions, we can't set foot in it."

Su Yun shook her head and gave up the idea of ​​going to Lingxu Palace.

Although Lingxu Palace was the place where Master Lingxu preached and taught, there must be many rare treasures inside.

But she knew her own limitations and didn't want to drag Lu Yuan down.

"Yes, we are too weak. If we rashly go to Lingxu Palace, it will only distract you, Junior Brother."

"Besides, there are many natural treasures in the core area, which is also a great fortune for us."

Luo Xin also spoke up at the right time, not wanting to add to Lu Yuan's burden.

"Okay then. If you hold this scale, other fierce beasts will never dare to attack you."

Lu Yuan recalled the Qingshuang Sword, picked off a few snake scales from the black dragon's corpse and gave them to Luo Xin and the others.

However, for Lu Yuan, these restrictions are unlikely to pose much threat to him.

He advanced at an extremely fast speed and successfully reached the top of the mountain in just half a day!

It was at this time.

A magnificent and ancient palace suddenly came into Lu Yuan's sight.

"Is this Lingxu Palace?"

Lu Yuan looked up at the palace and muttered to himself.

I saw that the palace was as high as the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, and filled with rosy clouds, just like the legendary residence of immortals.

In front of the palace, a young man in a python robe sat on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was still immersed in contemplation.

But the moment Lu Yuan stepped to the top of the mountain.

The young man in the python robe's eyelids trembled slightly, as if he sensed someone approaching, and slowly opened his eyes.

"You can get close here, it seems that Zhou Li and the others have died in the battle."

Zhou Xun frowned slightly and spoke lightly.

"You are the new disciple of Qingyun Sect, right?" He looked at Lu Yuan carefully and immediately recognized Lu Yuan's identity.

"No matter how you got here, Lingxu Palace is not a place you can set foot in. Leave this place now, and perhaps I can spare your life."

Zhou Xun said in a cold voice.

He has an extraordinary aptitude and was noticed by an elder of the Divine Fire Sect branch and has become a registered disciple.

However, the Divine Fire Sect is the supreme sect of the human race, its influence spreads across thousands of regions, and the number of its disciples is innumerable.

Although he was a registered disciple, his status and position was only slightly higher than that of ordinary disciples. He was not worth mentioning in front of the real formal disciples.

That's why.

That's why he was willing to take huge risks and step into Lingxu Cave in person.

If he could inherit the destiny, he would be able to become a powerful person in a short period of time. At that time, he would not only have the opportunity to become a formal disciple, but he might even be able to go one step further and be valued by a being at the virtual dao level!

Therefore, he was determined to inherit the destiny and would never allow others to interfere.

However, in the face of Zhou Xun's warning, Lu Yuan turned a deaf ear and just strode towards Lingxu Palace.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun's slender eyes suddenly became gloomy, and his whole aura changed, filled with cold murderous intent.

"You are shameless. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"

Zhou Xun turned around and suddenly drew the long sword from his waist.

In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of lightning across the void, and a terrifying and sharp sword energy came towards him, causing Lu Yuan to pause in his tracks.

"A gnat trying to shake a tree does not know its own strength."

Lu Yuan didn't even look at it, but drew his sword with one hand and easily blocked all the sword beams, making all of Zhou Xun's attacks in vain.

Although on the surface.

Zhou Xun's cultivation is profound, and he has reached the ninth level of Nirvana. He is even more powerful than the thousand-year-old black dragon.

But Lu Yuan has gone through many reincarnations, and he has fought with countless powerful enemies and geniuses.

His combat experience and skills in using strength have already reached a superb level, which is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses.

Just like the same spell, the same move, an ordinary genius may be able to exert only 70% or 90% of its power.

But with the combat experience and skills honed through many reincarnations, Lu Yuan can make the same moves explode with twice or even several times the lethality!

The talents of ordinary geniuses are nothing compared to him.

"Can you break my sword light so easily?"

When Zhou Xun saw this, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he finally realized that the young man in front of him was terribly strong and could not be judged by common sense.

"I never thought that a tiny place like Qingyun Sect could cultivate a monster like you. If you are given enough time, you might really be able to shake the fortune of my Dali."

"It's a pity that you met me and will eventually perish."

Zhou Xun clenched the long sword in his hand, his spiritual power surged, his aura became more and more powerful, even enough to compete with the Half-Step Heavenly Destiny Master!

That’s not all.

As he activated his skills, a wisp of red flame also appeared on the surface of his body.

When the flame first appeared, it was as weak as a flame, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it.

But as the flames burned, they instantly ignited Zhou Xun's flesh, blood, and bones, and even his soul turned into fuel, making the flames burn even more fiercely.

“Hula!”

The red flames surged against the wind, instantly enveloping Zhou Xun entirely, causing his aura to rise to the extreme, quickly surpassing that of the black dragon, and becoming infinitely close to a true divine power.

"Use your body as a guide, and purify the world with divine fire. Is this your trump card?"

Lu Yuan watched Zhou Xun's actions quietly, and instead of stopping him, he spoke with interest.

Because with his powerful divine sense, he could vaguely sense it.

When Zhou Xun used his own flesh and blood to ignite the purifying divine fire, it seemed as if some great power descended from the sky and blessed him, causing his aura and strength to suddenly increase by several times.

But in exchange for that powerful strength, Zhou Xun's vitality and the essence of his blood and flesh were rapidly dissipating.

At the rate the flames were burning, he would be burned to ashes in less than half a day.

However, according to Lu Yuan's observation, every time the fire on Zhou Xun's body ignited other things around him, the rate at which the vitality in his body would be lost would slow down a lot.

This also means.

If he could plunder enough vitality from outsiders, he could reduce or even get rid of the side effects of the Purifying Divine Fire.

"No wonder the disciples of the Divine Fire Sect dare to use the Purifying Divine Fire recklessly. They could have taken away other people's vitality for their own use?"

Lu Yuan seemed to have realized something.

But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.

After all, the Purifying Divine Fire is the foundation of the Divine Fire Sect. If ordinary disciples simply use the Purifying Divine Fire, they will pay with their lives for it.

What else can the Divine Fire Sect use to expand its territory and spread its teachings?

Just like many powerful independent cultivators, the reason they are willing to join the Divine Fire Sect is for the purpose of purifying the world with the Divine Fire.

Because once this fire is ignited, it can not only increase one's own strength dramatically, but also rob others of their vitality. It can be used as a trump card.

"These great religions are called the human race's orthodoxy, but in reality they are just doing evil things under the guise of saving the world."

Lu Yuan shook his head, seeing through the filthiness of the Divine Fire Sect.

And if he guessed correctly.

The Purifying Divine Fire of the Divine Fire Sect is probably a means used by some powerful being to gather the faith and power of all living beings.

If more followers of the Divine Fire used this move, the Purifying Divine Fire would be able to plunder more vitality and feed it back to the main body, and the power of the strongest person would naturally become stronger.

"How dare you blaspheme the sacred fire of my sect? You deserve to die!"

Zhou Xun's body was covered with divine flames, and he roared fiercely.

In the minds of the followers of the Divine Fire Sect, the Purifying Divine Fire is the supreme sacred existence. The more devout their belief in the Divine Fire, the more powerful power they can gain.

But Lu Yuan spoke nonsense and belittled the World-Purifying Divine Fire in every way. How could Zhou Xun, who was determined to become a formal disciple, tolerate this?

“Swish!”

Zhou Xun was furious and chopped at Lu Yuan on the head with a long knife in his hand.

With the blessing of the Purifying Divine Fire.

His blade was wrapped in red flames, and its power was terrifying. Even if the thousand-year-old black dragon came, it would probably be seriously injured by one blow.

But to Lu Yuan, it poses no threat.

"How can the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the bright moon? I would like to see the origin of your world-purifying divine fire."

Lu Yuan held the Qingshuang Sword in his hand and slashed it in the air. A sharp sword energy shot out and collided with the flaming long sword in Zhou Xun's hand.

The next moment.

When the overwhelming cold air met the raging fire, a large amount of water vapor was instantly evaporated.

The fog was thick.

The two figures flashed by in the air as they engaged in a fierce fight.

However, as time went by, Lu Yuan discovered that the red flames on Zhou Xun's body became hotter and hotter, as if they could burn everything in the world, even Lu Yuan's soul would be ignited!

"It's quite interesting. This flame can actually have an effect on the soul. It seems that the founder of the Divine Fire Sect has a high level of attainment in the way of fire."

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.

When he was in the Seven Star Wild World, he had studied the way of fire in depth and mastered the two world-destroying divine fires, the Sun Divine Fire and the Moon Divine Fire.

But in Lu Yuan's opinion.

The Purifying Divine Fire of the Divine Fire Cult can not only burn the body, but also burn the soul. It is obviously similar to the Sun Divine Fire.

“Although the laws of heaven and earth in each world are different, if one law is mastered, all laws will be mastered. In the end, many laws and great ways will all lead to the same destination.”

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

However, although the Purifying Divine Fire is powerful, Zhou Xun's strength is too low, and he is unable to bring out the true power of this fire.

When the red flames on Zhou Xun's body became more and more burning, they could even ignite the air.

The three-colored lotus in Lu Yuan's soul palace just rotated slightly, conveying a sense of coolness, and then suppressed all the flames.

"How is this possible?! He can actually suppress the divine fire of my sect?"

Zhou Xun's face was filled with horror, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

The Purifying Divine Fire has infinite uses and can burn the body and soul.

If the enemy is not careful for a moment, the soul will be burned to ashes in an instant.

All along.

With this move, he was invincible and had no rivals in the imperial city. Even all the geniuses of the royal family were no match for him.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he suffered a defeat at the hands of a genius of his generation!

"The so-called Purifying Divine Fire is nothing more than this. This farce should end soon."

Lu Yuan lost interest and didn't want to get entangled with Zhou Xun anymore.

The next moment.

His mind moved slightly, and the three-inch little man sitting cross-legged in the center of the three-colored lotus deep in the soul palace just waved his hand casually.

The God-Slaying Sword in his hand turned into a rainbow light, flew across the void, and with lightning speed, instantly penetrated Zhou Xun's eyebrows and flew out from the back of his head.

Then the God-Slaying Sword made a few sword flowers in the air and then returned to the hand of the three-inch little man.

And all this happened in a flash.

Before Zhou Xun could react, all the life force in his body was destroyed by the sword.

His originally indestructible soul also exploded at this moment, and finally turned into points of light and dissipated in the air.

"Bang!"

When Zhou Xun's vitality was exhausted, the red flames burning on the surface of his body also stopped abruptly, and suddenly went out like a candle in the wind, and could no longer pose any threat.

However, Lu Yuan could vaguely sense it.

At the moment when the purifying divine fire was extinguished.

There was a trace of inexplicable great power that did not dissipate, but sank into the depths of the void and disappeared.

"I was right. This World Purifying Divine Fire is indeed a tool used by a certain being to harvest all living beings."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and thought to himself.

The Holy Realm of Zhiyuan is extremely special. It is an illusory world constructed by the God of Falsehood using illusions and lies. It only exists in people's memories and legends.

But as the Holy Lord Zhiyuan cultivated the Tao and became a god, unpredictable changes occurred in this world, causing many powerful people and gods in the main world to flock to it.

They spread their beliefs in this world, established their own traditions, and hoped to seize the origin of the world with the help of believers.

The rise of the Fire God Cult was too sudden.

Lu Yuan could almost conclude that the existence behind it must be related to a powerful person from the main world!
