Chapter 498: Fire Spirit King

At this moment, the giant fire spirit was still controlled by the purple mist vines; it was unable to move. In a hurry, it spat out a flame, and it condensed into a flame enchantment above its head.

“Bang“!

As soon as the blue sword mountain phantasm touched the flame enchantment, countless blue sword qi burst open.

The enchantment only lasted for a moment, then it collapsed inch by inch. Sparks were splashing everywhere.

Seeing this, Zang Xuan’s purple eyes flashed as he uttered the word “explode”.

Several muffled noises came out from the giant fire spirit’s body, and several purple mist vines burst into purple mist at the same time.

The fire spirit’s body made a loud sizzling sound. The dark red flames were dimmed while flickering. It waved its arms while roaring furiously. It then spat out a cluster of flame and ignited the purple mist.

But at this moment, the blue sword mountain fell menacingly.

Although the giant fire spirit broke free from the purple mist and jumped to one side to avoid it, it was too late. The dense blue sword mountain phantasm still struck down in countless dense sword lights.

A scream!

The giant fire spirit naturally couldn’t avoid it at the moment, and it self-exploded first to turn itself into raging flames.

However, the dense sword lights intertwined and surged at the flames, putting out almost half of the flames.

After all the sword lights dissipated, the giant fire spirit’s figure suddenly condensed in the dark red flame and reappeared.

However, at this moment, it was covered with countless wounds. Its flames were also a lot dimmer. It was obviously already deeply injured.

Seeing this, Liu Ming squinted and the small blue sword blasted out in a chime. It was emitting dazzling blue light.

Zang Xuan on the other side was also excited after seeing the giant fire spirit being wounded. He made one gesture, preparing to launch his killing move to eliminate the giant fire spirit in one move.

But at this moment, the giant fire spirit’s eyes flashed with murderous intention. It looked up and howled. It launched a few punches into the air, but its target wasn’t Liu Ming and Zang Xuan, but the few segments of crystal pillar.

“Bang bang bang“, they didn’t know what mystery was contained in these two punches, but the sturdy crystal pillar actually shattered into pieces in a split second. Crimson red light was released like a cloud; it was surging madly at the giant fire spirit.

“No, do it now!”

Although Liu Ming didn’t know why the giant fire spirit did that, he immediately realized that he couldn’t let it finish what it wanted to do. After shouting at Zang Xuan, the blue sword in his hand shivered and turned into a long blue crystal rainbow.

Zang Xuan, who was next to him, saw this, and his face turned gloomy. He raised his hand to point at the giant fire spirit.

“Poof“.

The space above the giant fire spirit fluctuated, and the purple grimace emerged again. However, it did not turn into the purple mist vines, but it opened its mouth ferociously, biting at the giant fire spirit’s head.

“Poof“.

The huge grimace actually bit off a small part of the giant fire spirit’s head in one bite.

The dazzling blue rainbow surged past, and a small part of the giant fire spirit’s shoulder disappeared as well.

Facing the joint attack of the two, the giant fire spirit stood still and did not evade at all. But the next moment, the crimson light from the sky surged into the wounds on its head and shoulder. The severely injured body actually recovered in an instant. A terrifying light also soared into the sky at the same time.

Whether it was the purple grimace in the air or the blue crystal rainbow hovering nearby, they were all forced away by the red light.

The purple grimace even wailed in the red light, and it dissipated.

Zang Xuan’s figure shook, then he screamed in pain. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and his face was instantly pale.

Obviously, the damage on the purple grimace would also bring a huge impact to his mind.

And the giant fire spirit, whose wounds were fully recovered, swung both arms and opened its mouth, sucking up all the crazily surging red clouds in the entire giant pit. A series of crackling sounds emitted inside its body. In an instant, twelve bean-sized crystal pellets were condensed in the joints of its body. Each pellet was bright red like blood, and its surface was flashing dense natural spirit patterns, exuding an extremely pure aura.

“Spiritual power of the Crystallization Period?”

Zang Xuan blurted out in sight of this. He didn’t even bother cleaning the blood at the corner of his mouth, and his face looked horrified for the first time.

Liu Ming was also surprised when he saw this situation.

The so-called Crystallization Period originally refers to a realm where the Spiritual Sea could no longer contain more liquid true spirits when the cultivation reached a certain level, then the liquid true spirits would condense into crystal pellets. The appearance of the crystal pellets on the surface of the giant fire spirit were exactly the same as the record in the classics.

When entering the Crystallization Period, the more spiritual power crystal particles condensed by true spirit, the more powerful the true spirit and spiritual power, and the greater the potential for future cultivation.

Generally speaking, when the Six Spiritual Pulse cultivator entered the Crystallization Period, he could condense 18 spiritual crystals; Nine Spiritual Pulse cultivator could condense 36 spiritual crystals; Twelve Spiritual Pulse cultivator could condense 72 spiritual crystals. As for the rumored Sky Spiritual Pulse Cultivator, he could naturally condense 144 spiritual crystals.

Therefore, even if they existed in the same Crystallization Period, their cultivation level was very different.

As for the Three Spiritual Pulsers who could advance to the Crystallization Period, he could only condense 9 spiritual crystals. However, even in the cultivation world like the Middle Sky Continent, those who could reach this step with so few spiritual pulses were very few. They either had great opportunities or had an illogically powerful spirit body.

However, in front of the giant fire spirit, there were only twelve spiritual power crystals condensed outside its body, and there was no weather transformation when a person broke through to the Crystallization Period. This was obviously a kind of method to stimulate the inner potential. It could temporarily improve one’s own cultivation level, which barely pushed it to the early stage of the Crystallization Period. It couldn’t maintain this change for long.

As Liu Ming figured it out, he was slightly relieved.

At this moment, the giant fire spirit on the opposite side stared fiercely at Liu Ming and Zang Xuan in mid-air. As it let out a long roar, the crystal pellets flashed and merged into its body. The flames turned into white, and its body disappeared all of sudden.

When Liu Ming saw this, he was shocked. He didn’t have the time to control the flying sword again. He flicked his sleeve and golden light spots flew out. A sand mist had formed a shield around him.

Zang Xuan on the side also had his expression changed. He made one gesture and a yellow earth shield blocked in front of him.

Facing an opponent who already had the strength of the Crystallization Period, the two subconsciously used a defensive posture at the same time.

There was a fluctuation in front of Liu Ming when a human-shaped figure in white flames appeared. It appeared for a moment, then it disappeared without a trace again; it then appeared near Zang Xuan.

In this way, the giant fire spirit appeared and disappeared in the giant pit, wandering around like a ghost, but it never really attacked the two of them.

“Something is not right.”

Seeing this, Liu Ming thought quickly, then he shouted.

At this moment, in the midair at the edge of the huge pit, behind the other two outer disciples who were fiercely fighting with other ordinary fire spirits, the giant fire spirit appeared along with a fluctuation.

This Crystallization Period fire spirit grabbed in the air, and its hands with white flames condensed, transforming into two ten meters long white blades. Under a white flash, the blades disappeared from its hands.

A bleak scream!

This slightly chubby outer disciple was dealing with the two fire spirits in front of him, and he was sliced into half by the white blade from behind as he was careless. The protective aura couldn’t defend against the slash at all. His body burst into white flames instantly, turning his body into ashes.

Another outer disciple with a scarred face exclaimed as he saw this. He smashed a green, turned around and flew toward Liu Ming and Zang Xuan in a cluster of green lights.

He knew very well that only by fleeing to two powerful fellows could his life be saved.

But just in this moment, a white blade unexpectedly flashed from the direction of his escape. The disciple with a scarred face was easily chopped into half, and his body exploded, turning into sparks.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ming couldn’t help but look a little shocked.

Zang Xuan also showed horror on his face.

This fire spirit king beheaded the two disciples in quick succession. It was so quick that they couldn’t react to save them at all.

They immediately looked at each other, and they naturally knew that the following tough battle would be unavoidable.

After another long roar of the giant fire spirit, the six human-shaped fire spirits in front of them burst apart one after another, turning into dozens of red fire clouds and merging into the giant fire spirit.

With each fire cloud merged with its body, the white flame on the fire spirit king would be solidified more. When the fire clouds were all merged, its aura was much more powerful than before.

After Liu Ming took a deep breath, he no longer hesitated and made a gesture. The golden sand in front of him spun up frantically, forming a faint golden sand curtain covering his whole body. The small blue sword was launched out simultaneously. It turned into a blue sword shadow of tens of meters. The spirit patterns were flashing and exuding a gruesome cold light.

A cold light flashed in his eyes. He pointed in the air, and the giant blue sword trembled slightly in the air. It turned into a hundred meters long blue rainbow under the flashing of the spirit patterns. It struck at the fire spirit king in a crisp chime.

Zang Xuan also waved his big sleeve to launch out a small green umbrella. After spinning around in the air, it turned into a huge umbrella with a faint green light. It then formed a green light curtain that protected his body.

At the same time, he spat out six purple flying blades. The blades became five hundred meters in size in an instant. They lined up in the air, making a humming sound.

“Go!”

Zang Xuan groaned, then the six purple blades shook and turned into six purple lights that blasted at the fire spirit king.
