Chapter 486: 3. The Hot and Dense Dragon Corpse
Translator: 549690339
In just 500 years, the human world had experienced the tribulation of mountains and rivers.
The mighty reiki was revived, flooding the human world like a tsunami, bringing about the development of life and changing the original appearance of the human world.
The power of divine power can see mountains as cups, rivers as tea, and move mountains and seas.
With such power, the forerunners felt that they were high and mighty, and could no longer be seen in the mortal world.
Looking back at history…
At the beginning of the fire tribulation, the Great Zhou Dynasty was established and controlled everything.
During the Fire Calamity, the dynasty implemented a series of measures to recruit most of the eleventh realm experts, making them register.
At the end of the Fire Calamity, the dynasties changed, and the implementation of the sect system was more suitable for the development of the times. The dynasties were weak, and the sect system was the product of the contradiction between ” the supernatural beings were increasingly self-conscious of being superior ” and ” still having to obey the order of the dynasty ‘
However, at this moment, the sects were still slightly weaker than the dynasties, and the powerful sects also had the rule of not interfering with the human world.
This was an era of peace.
And this continued until the middle of the second tribulation, the tribulation of mountains and rivers.
In the middle stage of the Mountain and River Calamity, the Great Zhou
Dynasty began to collapse.
The terrifying Tribulation Demons and the people who used their divine powers wantonly without any scruples tore the entire world apart.
Humans were like children who were used to playing with toy water guns. They were suddenly equipped with real rocket launchers, but they did not realize it.
The result was that, together with the Tribulation Demons, the continent’s plates shattered even more.
The mountains and seas, the rivers, the lands of ice and snow, the Central Plains, the Western Regions, and the southern wilderness were all shattered…
Due to the many characteristics of spiritual energy and the existence of the guardian level 12 experts, this disaster that could completely wipe out mankind did not wipe out mankind. On the contrary, many cities and towns were still preserved.
It was as if an accurate map had been torn apart and reattached to a new blank map. However, this ” tearing ” process did not cause all destruction. Many cities, towns, and villages had been moved to other places without changing at all.
The continent split into many continental plates.
Every continent was a new continent.
The continents were separated by a vast and dangerous ocean.
There were even mountains, islands, and towns floating in the sea…
There were also those under the sea.
The weather became extremely strange. There was no longer any difference between the warm south and the cold north. In some places, the south became a country of ice and snow, while in others, the north became a country of ice and snow.
The movement of the continental plates was destined to bring about an apocalyptic world.
Why was this so?
It was because of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy was very special.
There were at least three strange characteristics.
First, integrity.
The thing wrapped in spiritual energy seemed to have become a whole.
In short, if a town was wrapped in spiritual energy, if you cut the town in half with a knife and carried half of the town tens of thousands of miles with great strength, the houses in the town would still be fine, and so would the residents.
Second, weight reduction.
“If you have spiritual energy and control the power of heaven and earth, you can lift a small mountain even if you don’t have the strength to tie a chicken.”
If a mountain had spiritual energy, it could support a floating Kingdom on the Clouds.
If the mountain collapsed, the Kingdom on the Clouds might not fall. It would float away unless it was fixed again.
Third, stability.
The spiritual energy sealed the original characteristics of the land, causing the circulation between them to slow down or even stop.
The landscape of the world was constantly changing.
It was only at the end of the Mountain River Tribulation that the changes stopped.
However, no one knew what the world was like now.
No one knew how many continents and islands there were in this world.
Fortunately, many experts now controlled the power of divine arts. Crossing the sea was not a difficult thing for them.
Some of the experts who had a sense of mission took on the task of ‘surveying the map and recreating the world’s landform’.
And at this moment…
The third killing tribulation descended.
Compared to the earthquake caused by the Mountain River Calamity.
This calamity was almost silent.
This was because the world had a terrifying restriction on Extraordinaires who had broken free from the hundred years of lifespan of mortals. Every
Extraordinaire might not be able to open their eyes again after closing them.
Especially in the ocean that was isolated from the continental plates, the intensity and horror of the nightmare increased by many times.
On the other hand, mortals would not have such nightmares and would not encounter the terrifying Tribulation Demons in their nightmares.
However, mortals were unable to cross the sea.
There were many monsters hiding in the ocean today. One had to know that the calamity was not only targeted at humans, but all living beings.
Humans had divine powers, and so did other living beings.
And even without the monsters, the waves of several hundred feet were enough to capsize even the sturdiest ship.
The human world had completely changed.
The world had become an extremely dangerous fog for almost everyone.
The continents were completely isolated from each other.
The Great Zhou Dynasty naturally fell apart.
The various continents formed many kingdoms.
The relationship between the dynasty and the sect seemed dramatic, but it was a logical reversal.
The sect was high and mighty.
The dynasty served the sect.
A dynasty without a sect was likely to be annexed by other dynasties with sects.
In order to ensure their status, the sect had reached a consensus and adopted two measures.
First, it was related to the fire seed.
The key to becoming a Transcendent, the fire seed, had to be controlled by the sect. Moreover, it had to be treated as a core item and strictly controlled.
Although some regions would still produce fire seeds from time to time, there were not many of them. Every time they appeared, it would trigger a battle between sects. If mortals hid fire seeds, once they were discovered, they would only suffer endless pursuit.
The path of immortals and mortals had become narrow and dangerous because of the control of the sect.
Secondly, it was related to cultivation techniques.
The Ten Thousand Laws Scroll left behind by the Headmaster of Academy was forbidden to be circulated by the major sects, but they had hidden it in their own library.
The dynasty had become the back garden of the sect.
Mortals became the slaves of the sect disciples.
Yes, it was true.
How different were the sects of today compared to the aristocratic families back then?
Xia Ji was no different from before.
He was counting the time.
He was still at the early stage of the 12th level, but he had already undergone some changes because it had been 1,000 years. If he was only at the 11th level, his lifespan would have passed and he would have died.
However. he did not die. He was still getting stronger.
Of course, this could also be because he belonged to the Fire Calamity Land now, and the lifespan of the Fire Demons was naturally different from that of humans.
His strength was reflected in his body.
His Dharmakaya was no longer limited to the 24-headed and 18-armed
Buddha.
Now, his avatar was himself.
His own body was his avatar.
This Dharmakaya had been tempered thousands of times in a world of fire, ten sixty-year cycles, and unprecedented battles. This Dharmakaya was not achieved by any cultivation method, but by his own 600-year-old Dao and 600-year-old saber.
A world of raging fire, shaping a body, making the body of the eleventh realm reach the supreme level.
This was what Xia Ji was doing.
This foreign world in an unknown space was torturing him, but it was also helping him.
He suddenly remembered the story in his previous life. How different was the monkey that was pressed into the cauldron and burned by the flames compared to him?
Yes.
Monkey knew that he could leave once he lifted the lid.
However, he did not know where the lid was.
But even though he did not know where the lid was, he finally saw a bad omen.
He also saw the Black Emperor. It was a dense and scalding dragon corpse that was floating high up in the sky. The background was a sky of red and white light spots that looked like congee.
The 1,000-foot-long black dragon that he had transformed into was like an ant compared to this one.
It was unknown how long the black dragon had been there.
On the ground, bubbles that could be clearly detected were rising high.
Or rather, it was thrown out by some strange force.
The bubbles reached the Black Emperor.
It exploded slightly.
Some turned into a ring-shaped red earring.
Some of them had dark-colored flame feathers…
Be it Hong Er or the fire feathers, they were clearly hundreds of times hotter than the surface. Such high temperatures formed an incomparably shocking flame current…
Flowing red armor covered the Black Emperor’s body.
Pure black flames were drawn out from the huge dragon corpse.
The pure black flame was like a twisted stream in a nightmare, flowing between the thick scales.
“How spectacular.”
Xia Ji couldn’t help but sigh.
He didn’t know if it was a coincidence, because there were nine bad omens. They were separated from each other and were extremely far away, but he was led here.
Azurite seemed to have been summoned and went to another place. No one knew what she encountered.
His body slightly steadied because he felt something approaching.
No matter how powerful an ordinary fire demon was, it was impossible for them to come here…
Then …
Xia Ji turned his body slightly. He saw many terrifying monsters whose power levels were completely different from those of ordinary fire demons. These monsters had a distinct and unique characteristic, and each of them emitted a terrifying aura.
There were a total of nine of these monsters, including him.
The ten gathered under the Black Emperor’s dense and scalding dragon corpse. They suddenly had some sort of realization among themselves and pulled away from each other, eyeing each other covetously.
Then, the chaotic battle began.
Xia Ji pulled away. He seemed to be the shortest among the ten monsters, and someone as short as him was soon targeted. It was a monster covered in black scales, and the gaps were filled with flames.
The monster approached him.
Xia Ji looked around and retreated.
He wanted to create a one-on-one environment to deal with this enemy.
He already had an understanding in his heart…
He remembered Su Tian saying that this was the 17th Middle Epoch, and he was the Black Emperor of this 17th Epoch. The people here should be the existences who had become Black Emperors in the past.
Then, what about Azurite?
Why did Azurite also receive the call?
He stopped thinking about it because the Black Emperor from an unknown era had already pounced on him.
Xia Ji pressed down on the Underworld Blade and looked calmly at the terrifying figure that was getting closer.
The battle was not simple, and all the bad omens were not simple either.
Especially on the home ground of the Land of Fire, the replenishment of power was almost endless.
One battle lasted for ten years.
Ten years later.
Xia Ji had already become the only one under the dense and boiling dragon corpse. The Black Emperors of the previous era had all turned into Xia Ji’s power, and they themselves had become the dust of this world, forming a few small mountains on the ground.
He stood under the dragon corpse.
The dragon corpse underwent a mysterious change.
It began to collapse. The pure black flame became viscous and seemed to have weight. The surroundings were extremely dazzling, but the center was pure black without any light refracted.
This pure black color enveloped the incomparably huge and scalding dragon corpse, causing it to collapse into a black ” heart “, just like the hearts of the other fire demons.
Xia Ji ate the heart.
In an instant, a terrifying force swept through his body, causing his already powerful avatar to tremble uncontrollably. He began a powerful breakthrough..
