Chapter 1697: The God of the land (3)
The next moment, the pillar of fire returned to its original state and roasted the earth.
At that moment, a loud Dragon’s Roar came from the sky. The transcendents present looked up and could vaguely see a huge Golden Dragon Rising up against the heavenly Fire.
On top?
What was he trying to do?
White Emperor and Garo tree frowned, and the latter stopped, temporarily sparing Asuro, who had been beaten so badly that even his mother couldn’t recognize him.
In the flames, Xu Qi ‘an held Luo Yuheng and rushed higher and higher against the pillar of fire.
Luo Yuheng’s body was indestructible. Although it was well-preserved in the pillar of fire, it did not mean that she was safe and sound. In fact, she was suffering indescribable pain. Her four symbols and physical body were on the verge of collapse.
If they couldn’t withstand it, they would turn into ashes.
It’s so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable … Luo Yuheng’s fair skin became even paler. No, it was not paler, it was transparent. She looked like a statue made of glass.
If this continued, her life force would be completely burned out and she would turn into ashes, just like her father.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”
Xu Qi ‘an’s low voice reached his ears.
Luo Yuheng’s heart was suddenly at ease, like a small boat in a violent ocean that had entered a Harbor to take shelter from the wind.
She turned her head and saw a charred human figure.
Xu Qi ‘an’s skin was quickly carbonized. The outer layer of his skin was peeled off, revealing his red and bloodied tender flesh. The tender flesh was carbonized again and turned into ashes. After a few times, Luo Yuheng saw his red-hot skull.
The next step was to burn his primordial spirit … Just as she was about to activate her Dharma form to block the Tribulation fire for him, she suddenly felt a strong life force rising from his body.
The pure vitality was like a clear spring, pouring into Luo Yuheng and Xu Qi ‘an’s exhausted bodies.
Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and began to focus on polishing his body, Qi, blood, and spirit.
His flesh and blood were constantly being burned and regenerated. During this process, his essence, Qi, and spirit were refined over and over again and quickly fused together. In a short span of a dozen breaths, he had walked the path that others would take decades to walk.
In this battle, nine out of ten would die, no, ten out of ten would die. The transcendents of the cloud Prefecture and the great Feng Empire thought so, and the facts proved that it was true.
Without a backup plan, Xu Qi ‘an’s life would have ended at the hands of the White Emperor if Luo Yuheng had not brought him into the range of the heavenly Tribulation.
Luo Yuheng, on the other hand, did not have the opportunity to consolidate his cultivation. After passing the Golden core tribulation, he could either help Xu Qi ‘an resist the enemy and wait for the next round of tribulation to come, but he failed because he had exhausted his magical power.
They could also disregard the life and death of Xu Qi ‘an and the others and hide to consolidate their cultivation. The price would be the fall of Xu Qi’ an and the other transcendents, and the destruction of the country.
Luo Yuheng himself, on the other hand, might have survived.
Luo Yuheng had chosen the former, but the former was still a dead end.
That was why he wanted to die and live.
But how?
Xu Qi ‘an’s idea was to use the Tribulation to advance to the first stage.
He had advanced to the first stage.
When Asuro, Jin Lian, and Zhao Shou heard his suggestion, they almost thought he had lost his mind.
He had only been promoted to the second stage for half a month, and he wanted to step into the ranks of a first stage martial artist?
You are disrespecting cultivation, disrespecting the transcendents of the world, disrespecting Kou Yang Province.
However, Xu Qi ‘an’s next words convinced them to take the risk and gamble with Xu Qi’ an.
Xu Qi ‘an’s determination to advance to the first stage came from Luo Yuheng’s detailed description of the heavenly Tribulation that night when the transcendents were discussing. When she mentioned the Thunder fire tribulation, Xu Qi’ an had a bold idea.
Before the Tribulation battle, he had gone to the southern border to ask Shen Shu how to advance to the first stage and got the answer from her.
Under normal circumstances, using one’s body as a furnace to temper one’s essence, Qi, and spirit into one to achieve a first-grade body was a long process. This path was bound to be fraught with danger and limited by talent. Not all first rank martial artists could become half a martial God.
As a person blessed by the fate of the nation, Xu Qi ‘an certainly did not lack talent. What he lacked was time.
Whether it was advancing from rank-2 primary stage to rank-2 peak stage, or tempering his essence, Qi, and spirit, both required time.
However, he, who had worked hard to arrange the flowers, had received a gift from the flower God. He had spiritual accumulation and comprehended the Dao that became stronger the more he fought, which just happened to make up for the lack of cultivation.
Even though peak rank-2 was not the norm and would fall back to the normal realm sooner or later …
He planned to make use of this short period of time to temper his body with the lightning and fire tribulations. He would merge his essence, Qi, and spirit and successfully advance to the first rank.
Such an operation was equivalent to finishing the slow tempering process in one step. It was basically equivalent to suicide.
At this time, the benefits of putting in effort to arrange the flowers showed themselves again. As long as he conserved the consumption of his spiritual reserves and kept a portion of it in his body, when the lightning and fire tribulations struck his body, the spiritual reserves of the flower God would be his greatest reliance.
This was the spiritual accumulation of the undying tree.
In addition, he also had Dragon Qi, all the Dragon Qi He had obtained from traveling in the pugilistic world.
With the Dragon Qi in his body, he was blessed with great fortune!
In addition, he already had half of the country’s fate, so Xu Qi ‘an felt that he could take a gamble!
Asuro and the other two agreed because they felt that it was worth a gamble.
The Golden Dragon rushed into Xu Qi ‘an’s body as the Thunder fire burned him again and again. Xu Qi’ an was gradually carbonized. His body was rejuvenated and continued to be tempered by the Thunder fire.
Luo Yuheng held Xu Qi ‘an’s hand tightly. Even in the most painful moment, he did not let go.
After another dozen breaths, the terrifying thunder fire began to weaken. The fire pillar as thick as a water tank slowly shrank, becoming the size of a bowl, then the size of a fist, then the size of a chopstick, and finally completely dissipated.
High up in the sky, Luo Yuheng was wearing a feathery robe condensed by a spell. His hair and robe were fluttering in the wind, and he was holding the hand of a human figure that looked like charcoal and had no signs of life.
“I’ve advanced to a demigod.” She muttered to herself.
Kachaa! The coke cracked and peeled off, revealing a pure white jade-like body in front of everyone.
Xu Qi ‘an looked down at the Galaxia tree, Xu Pingfeng’s puppet, and the White Emperor. He smirked, and his eyes were cold.
“I’ve entered rank-1!”
