King of Creation Chapter 1825 - 1810: Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl
Previously on King of Creation...
"Ah!"
The piercing scream of Jii Tongduan, the Dao Realm Venerable of the Three-Eyed Demon Clan, instantly startled Jii Yan and Jii Gongyue, who were about to pursue Wang Baimu and Ye Zhen.
Even if a Dao Realm expert is seriously injured, they typically wouldn’t let out such a heart-wrenching scream!
In an instant, their eyes turned to Jii Tongduan, who was enveloped by the ink-green dragon form phantom.
The moment their Divine Sense enveloped the scene, they were shocked by Jii Tongduan’s appearance.
In just a moment, Jii Tongduan had turned into a man of fire.
His entire body was covered in the eerie green flames, emitting popping sounds as his body fat burned, quickly melting Jii Tongduan’s flesh away.
As a Dao Realm expert, Jii Tongduan’s Protective Spirit Power was incredibly strong, and upon being burned by these ghastly green flames, he instinctively attempted to use various Secret Techniques to shield his Spiritual Power.
But disastrously, Jii Tongduan’s Protective Spirit Armor had little defensive capacity against these grim green flames; even the armor began to ignite.
Moreover, to the shock of the Three-Eyed Demon Clan elder Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan, Jii Tongduan’s Divine Soul Aura was rapidly diminishing under the burn of these eerie green flames.
Jii Gongyue finally understood why Jii Tongduan had let out such a earth-shattering, anguished scream.
Anyone whose Divine Soul Power is being burned would scream so miserably.
"This is...."
The eyes of the Three-Eyed Demon Clan elder Jii Gongyue suddenly widened, "This is the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames?"
His expression turned grave as he quickly shouted, "Fool, why don’t you get away from the Poison Flames...."
Just as Jii Gongyue was speaking, the badly burned Jii Tongduan managed to escape the encirclement of the grim green poison dragon phantom with a flash.
However, the disastrous truth was, after rushing out from the grim green Poison Flames, the blaze on Jii Tongduan not only didn’t decrease but grew more intense.
His hands were wildly slapping at his body like windmills, trying to extinguish the fire, but the flames flared even larger.
The grim green flames, once stuck to his hands, clung like maggots, impossible to extinguish, and with his frantic slapping, in an instant, he ignited entirely into a green person of fire.
The Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames could sever soul, body, and spirit, burning away a martial artist’s Divine Soul Power.
At this moment, Jii Tongduan was covered in the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames; the more protective Spiritual Power he used, the more Divine Soul Power he activated, the more Divine Soul Power was burned away.
The maggot-like trait of the flames that couldn’t be extinguished made Jii Tongduan feel as if he was plunged into hell.
Having escaped the grim green dragon form phantom, his scream was even more tragic than before.
This made Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan, who were about to pursue Ye Zhen and Wang Baimu, halt once more.
They were horrified to find that the hands of Jii Tongduan, the Dao Realm Venerable, had been burned down to reveal bones, while the places where the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames clung, flesh was being burned away in swathes.
Jii Gongyue was astounded to discover that if they didn’t help, in his current condition, Jii Tongduan might be burned to death by the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.
Moreover, it’s the kind of death where the soul is utterly dispersed.
The Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames before them were too bizarre.
The Second Elder of the Three-Eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, had witnessed the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames before, but those flames were domineering yet easy to extinguish.
Unlike these flames, which were like persistent maggots that couldn’t be put out.
Furthermore, the fire burned increasingly vigorously.
If they didn’t help, Jii Tongduan was truly at risk of facing complete death.
Watching helplessly as a Dao Realm Venerable of their clan perished, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan couldn’t bear it. If Jii Tongduan truly perished here.
It would be a tremendous loss for the Three-Eyed Demon Clan.
To any clan, every Dao Realm expert is incredibly precious.
So, without hesitation, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan rushed towards Jii Tongduan, intending to save him.
Yet in the next moment, they froze again, realizing that despite the fierce palm winds, they couldn’t extinguish the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames on Jii Tongduan, instead making the fire burn even more intensely.
Jii Gongyue even teleported a large amount of soil and fire from his Mustard Seed Small World, intending to extinguish the fire on Jii Tongduan.
But it was to no avail.
Even soil and water, including the Three Mysterious Heavenly Water previously refined by Jii Tongduan, couldn’t extinguish the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.
This left Jii Gongyue and his companions dumbfounded.
Where did such a relentless flame come from?
All manners of Spiritual Power Secret Arts were used, yet none could quench the fire before them.
Of course, it wasn’t that they were completely helpless against the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.
Primarily, they were cautious of harming Jii Tongduan, as some powerful Divine Power Secret Techniques were indeed capable of extinguishing the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.
But extinguishing the flames might also kill Jii Tongduan instantly.
Thus, they faced a dilemma.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen seized this rare opportunity, tightly following behind Wang Baimu, and escaped into the molten rock vortex at the center of the Molten Hell Sea.
But at the moment of diving into the molten rock vortex, Ye Zhen also saw Jii Gongyue and another work together, unable to extinguish the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames burning on Jii Tongduan’s body.
On Jii Tongduan, many places where the flesh was thin had been burned to reveal white bones.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhen, who had drilled into the scorching hot molten rock vortex, gasped.
For the first time, he realized that the Acquired Spirit Treasure Bone-Attached Poison Flame Pearl, which he had refined not long ago, had a power far more terrifying than he imagined.
This Bone-Attached Poison Flame Pearl was actually the crippled Acquired Spirit Treasure Green Smoke Suanni Pearl, also known as the Poison Dragon Pearl, given to Ye Zhen by the Heavenly Temple.
Due to the lack of an Artifact Spirit, although the Poison Dragon Pearl had the quality of an Acquired Spirit Treasure, it didn’t have the power of one; it was just a lifeless object.
However, Ye Zhen had acquired the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit by chance.
And coincidentally, Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit in the Mirage Dragon Pearl, being one of the ancestors of the Dragon Clan, knew the method to wield the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.
He guided the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit to learn these Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.
But this learning process required at least ten years.
If cultivating inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl, it would only take one year to have the effect of ten years of cultivation.
Since Ye Zhen obtained the Poison Dragon Pearl, roughly a year and a half passed, equating to fifteen years inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Fifteen years was enough for Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, to nearly teach the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit.
Later, when Ye Zhen was arduously cultivating inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl, he personally united them.
A brand new Acquired Spirit Treasure Bone-Attached Poison Flame Pearl was thereby created.
One with the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit serving as the Artifact Spirit of this Acquired Spirit Treasure.
This Bone-Attached Poison Flame Pearl was too formidable; Ye Zhen had never tested it before. According to Achou, it could definitely threaten and harm Dao Realm Experts.
Today, Ye Zhen took it out to give the Dao Realm Venerable Jii Tongduan, who was relentlessly pursuing him, a taste of its power, to buy himself time to dive into the molten rock vortex.
But even Ye Zhen didn’t expect the Bone-Attached Poison Flame Pearl to be so earth-shatteringly powerful on its first release.
In the sky, Jii Gongyue froze for just a moment before sending out a ribbon-like knife light from his hand, slicing out hundreds of knife lights at Jii Gongyue, who was engulfed in chaotic poison flames.
Each knife light was precisely perfect.
Each knife light cleverly shaved off the skin and flesh attached to the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames burning on Jii Tongduan’s body surface.
In an instant, blood and fire flew everywhere, but the densely packed Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames on Jii Tongduan’s body surface quickly diminished.
After a breath or two, only the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames burning and attached to the bones remained.
Jii Gongyue’s expression turned fierce, and with a slash, he cut off the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames and the bones attached to them on Jii Tongduan.
This finally extinguished the Bone-Attached Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames from Jii Tongduan’s body.
At this moment, Dao Realm Venerable Jii Tongduan had become a blood gourd, with blood pouring down like a tide.
However, the powerful vitality and strength of a Dao Realm Expert allowed Jii Tongduan’s severe injuries all over his body to stop bleeding in just a few breaths.
But after stopping the bleeding, Jii Tongduan appeared even more miserable!
After being skinned and having bones cut to extinguish the poison flames by Jii Gongyue, the dignified Dao Realm Venerable Jii Tongduan was unrecognizable.
Both ears, half a nose, both hands, and one foot were gone, and there was hardly any intact skin on his body.
Not only were there physical injuries, but even Jii Tongduan’s aura was significantly weaker than before; he would need quite some time to fully recover.
"Sec...Second Elder. This...this flame...is too terrifying..." The barely surviving Jii Tongduan stammered.
The will of the Dao Realm Experts is like iron, but the experience of those few breaths earlier felt like a real hell, making Jii Tongduan feel as if life was worse than death.
"This is the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames, but it’s more potent than the ones we knew." Jii Gongyue nodded and said.
"Judging by your condition, you’re not fit to pursue. You should stay here to heal, and monitor this Magma Hell Sea area, to see if there’s any other activity.
We’ll go after those two." Jii Gongyue instructed.
Seeing Ye Zhen rush into that magma vortex, Jii Gongyue was not anxious.
This Magma Hell Sea isn’t a place where anyone can arbitrarily enter and move around.
Without waiting for Jii Tongduan to respond, Jii Gongyue turned and left.
"Elder, be cautious. We misjudged earlier, the Di Kuohai we’ve been chasing, despite having only the Dark Palace Realm cultivation, has combat power close to that of a Late Stage Realm King Realm Expert, with incredibly bizarre techniques.
His movement speed is even faster than Dao Realm Experts.
I suspect..."
Just as Jii Gongyue was moving, his figure paused. "Suspect what?"
"I suspect there’s no one behind this Di Kuohai; he is the real deal." Jii Tongduan said with a weak voice.
"You mean he’s the thief of our orchard?"
"Can’t say for sure; this kid’s skills are too strange. But I’m certain that this kid is definitely related to that thief!" Jii Tongduan said.
