Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2660 Joy Turns to Sorrow

The Vermilion Bird displayed a powerful suppressive ability; in its presence, the one-eyed golden man felt restricted in every way.

It seems that his every intention can be seen through by his opponent in advance. Before he can make a move, his opponent is already waiting there to bring him back to his original form!

That level of eyesight is terrifying!

The one-eyed golden man was a veteran of countless battles. He followed the Angry Demon Lord and fought on the front lines of the demonic tide, experiencing countless life-and-death struggles. Every move he made had been honed through countless trials, so he had strong confidence. If he were a fellow demon lord, even if his cultivation was slightly weaker than his opponent's, he could make up for it with his combat experience and even surpass him!

But now he has encountered an opponent with more combat experience, who not only has rich combat experience, but also the ability to see through other people's supernatural abilities and moves at a glance.

Before this, aside from those unfathomable demon lords, he had never seen such an opponent. How could someone of the same cultivation level as him possess such terrifying insight!

In contrast, the one-eyed golden man's judgment of the Vermilion Bird was wrong most of the time. He either missed the opportunity, misjudged its power, or was even deceived by its feints.

Even though this demonic bird's cultivation level should be inferior to his, its repeated flapping of wings failed to shake his foundation, which also proves this point. Yet, he could only helplessly watch himself fall into defeat step by step.

The one-eyed golden man knew he had to find a way to break this situation. He had just tried, but was defeated again.

Surrounded by flames, the one-eyed golden man's pupils spew fire, yet a sense of calm remains deep within his angry eyes.

The 'earth' beneath his feet was shattered, and he was thrown into a sea of ​​fire, but he was not reduced to his original form. His body had grown to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and although the golden light covering his entire body was almost completely destroyed, his body continued to grow, and his supernatural powers were not interrupted!

'call! '

The sea of ​​fire suddenly rose upwards.

Through the flames, one could see a golden mountain rising from the sea of ​​fire. This mountain shone with golden light, as if it were the most solid spiritual metal in the world. Despite being scorched by the intense fire, its surface showed no signs of melting.

Within this mountain, a giant is clearly visible. It is as if the mountain is being supported by the giant, whose feet are the foot of the mountain and whose head is the summit.

Mountains are people, and people are mountains!

This mountain was formed from the supernatural powers of the one-eyed golden man, shielding him from the scorching flames and growing alongside him.

In an instant, the one-eyed golden man grew several feet taller.

The divine bird snorted coldly, curled its beak, spread its wings wide, and swung them fiercely at the golden mountain.

'Whoosh!'

The flames surged to the heavens, burning mountains and boiling seas.

A massive wave of fire swept across the sky, instantly engulfing the golden mountain and creating a thunderous roar. The mountain's base was shaken, and cracks spread across its surface. Just as the mountain was about to collapse, the giant within suddenly widened his eyes, and a beam of golden light shot from his golden pupils.

The golden light was as sharp as a sword, but it did not strike the divine bird; instead, it froze in front of the giant.

Zhuque noticed something unusual in the golden light; a wisp of white light appeared, which then transformed into a jade skeleton in the next moment.

This jade skeleton is only the size of a normal person, a complete human-shaped skeleton, and is crystal clear throughout. Inside the jade skeleton is a thin, hair-like gold thread that runs through every part of the skeleton, from the skull to the toes, passing through every joint. This skeleton is strung together by a single gold thread.

The giant stared at the jade bone, ignoring the collapsing golden mountain, and suddenly opened its huge mouth, spitting a mouthful of blood at the jade bone.

His blood was also golden, and when it fell onto the jade bones, it sizzled.

The jade bones seemed to be burning with blood, and then they absorbed all of the giant's blood. The bone marrow shimmered with golden light, and golden threads extended from the middle fingers of both hands, shooting into the giant's chest. At the same time, the jade bones rushed towards the giant along the golden threads.

Seeing this, Zhuque knew that the jade bone must be a powerful treasure. However, the opponent moved too fast. By the time it destroyed the golden mountain, the jade bone had already merged into the giant's body.

'Click click click...'

The giant's bones cracked and popped, his flesh rippled as if countless insects were crawling inside him, and it seemed as if his bones were shattering inch by inch and being replaced by jade bones!

This time, even someone as powerful as Suzaku couldn't stop it.

When the jade bones became the giant's skeleton, a jade-like luster faintly appeared on the giant's skin.

After repeated setbacks, he finally seized an opportunity. Instead of using the golden hammer, he raised his large hand, palm facing the divine bird in front of him.

Although he was tall, he was still much smaller than the fiery body manifested by the Vermilion Bird. Dense golden light spread out in all directions from his feet, supporting a golden land in the sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, the giant was like a mortal looking up at the heavens from the ground.

But this person wasn't worshipping; he wanted to snatch the divine bird down from the sky!

'boom!'

Suddenly, countless golden rays emanated from the palm of his hand, enveloping the divine bird and forming a golden sphere.

If this supernatural power can be called "capturing stars and seizing the moon," then the golden ball is the star and moon in the sky, which is now locked by this giant hand, which is about to take it down from the sky.

"die!"

The giant roared, his killing intent overwhelming.

He clenched his fist, and the golden light suddenly contracted, then pierced through the flames surrounding the divine bird like thousands of sharp swords.

At that moment, the giant's gaze pierced through the flames and he could vaguely see a small figure grabbing his opponent's body!

The giant's eyes gleamed with excitement, revealing a sense of vengeful pleasure. Just as he was about to finish off his opponent in one fell swoop, he suddenly felt an intense itch inside his body. It was as if flames were burning within him, piercing through his flesh and skin, directly igniting his periosteum, attaching to his bones, and instantly spreading throughout his entire body.

This skeleton doesn't belong to him; it's the jade skeleton from before. How did these flames get in?

The one-eyed golden man was greatly alarmed.

This jade bone was a sacred bone he created by referring to the secret techniques of the True Radiance Sacred Clan. He personally refined it, incorporating his own essence and blood during the refining process, making it a perfect whole with himself. In the past, whenever he encountered a powerful enemy, he could always be invincible by summoning the sacred bone.

At this moment, he actually felt that there was not only flame between him and the holy bone, but also an inappropriate barrier between them!

What kind of bizarre method is this? It's unprecedented. The one-eyed golden man never imagined that the sacred bone would be deciphered in this way.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The giant's skin bulged up and then suddenly contracted inward, emitting bursts of thunderous sound as it forcefully suppressed the fire spreading within its body.

At the same time, countless runes made of flames had somehow appeared inside the golden sphere. The divine bird looked coldly at the giant through the golden sphere, and then pecked forward with its beak.

'boom!'

The golden ball was immediately pierced with a large hole.

The giant's arm trembled violently, and his five fingers snapped open. The force of the recoil from the shattering golden ball sent his flesh flying, exposing the knuckles of his hand.

The remains of flesh hung on the joints, and an invisible flame clung to the surface of the bones, making it look quite pitiful.

However, with a flash of golden light, flesh grew back and the wound healed.

For a powerful figure like the One-Eyed Golden Man, being reborn from a drop of blood is nothing special. He doesn't care about minor external injuries. The most troublesome thing is the invisible fire inside his body, which is like a bone-deep infection, firmly attached to the surface of his sacred bone. Even though it is the same as the demonic fire aura outside, he can only suppress it and cannot extinguish it.

The divine bird looked down at the one-eyed golden man, its huge fiery eyes reflecting the figure of the one-eyed golden man, but not as it appeared on the outside. Instead, it saw through the flesh and blood, reflecting the skeleton inside his body.

In the divine bird's pupils, the skeleton of the one-eyed golden man was white, burning with pale flames. Golden runes shimmered on the surface of these flames, presumably the power of the one-eyed golden man.

The Vermilion Bird wouldn't give the One-Eyed Golden Man any time to breathe. Just as the One-Eyed Golden Man was suppressing the flames within his body, the Vermilion Bird raised its claws and pointed them at the giant in the sea of ​​fire.

'Splash!'

Fire broke out in all directions.

The flames rushed towards the giant from the boundless sea of ​​fire.

The one-eyed golden man sensed a threat, and the strange, ever-burning flames within his body were giving him a terrible headache. Just as he was beset by internal and external troubles, the one-eyed golden man roared to the sky, and a strange change suddenly occurred within his body.

The cracking sounds inside his body were constant; it was the sound of bones breaking. He had forcibly broken the jade bone and stuffed it into his stomach.

Along with the jade skeleton, those eerie flames were also stuffed inside.

A strange golden light flowed around his abdomen, taking in the jade bone and the flame all at once. The golden light swallowed this troublesome thing, and its speed of rotation increased. With each rotation, it became clearer and clearer, and finally it turned into an oval-shaped golden embryo.

The golden embryo has a layer of golden film on its surface, and inside it is a chaotic mass. There is a land composed of countless spiritual metals, golden mountains, and stars that emit golden starlight. However, when you try to look closely, it turns into a chaotic mass.

Then the chaotic energy inside the golden membrane twisted and deformed, eventually turning into a golden hammer!

Sometime later, the golden hammer in the one-eyed golden man's hand disappeared.

The golden hammer in the golden embryo was heavier than the other golden hammer, and its surface was engraved with patterns that the other golden hammer did not have, as if it contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

The golden hammer smashed down into the primordial embryo!

The void around the giant suddenly trembled, mingling with his roar to create a terrifying melody.

'Boom!'

An invisible hammer force loomed above the sea of ​​fire; the golden hammer was unseen, yet its intent was omnipresent.

Around the sea of ​​fire, the flow of the Netherworld Thunder and Magma ceased, seemingly imprisoned by the hammer's intent. Then, it suddenly shattered completely, and the Thunder and Magma from other places couldn't replenish it in time, creating a vast vacuum.

The void is mourning.

The flames suddenly dimmed, countless fires were extinguished instantly, and the entire sea of ​​fire was shrunk by hundreds of feet under the force of the hammer blow. The area around the giant was completely empty, as if the very heaven and earth had been shattered by this single blow.

Before the hammer's intent descended, the divine bird transformed from the Vermilion Bird had already fled into the sea of ​​fire. Although its expression was solemn, it showed no sign of panic.

The hammer's intent displayed terrifying power, but unfortunately it failed to destroy the sea of ​​fire. The sea of ​​fire then launched a counterattack. The streams of fire that had swept toward the giant, which had not been extinguished by the golden hammer, gathered together again, forming high waves of fire.

The one-eyed golden man used this hammer to force back the raging fire, and then saw the flames block him from all sides.

From the outside, one could see that the flames in the sea of ​​fire had formed a gigantic furnace. This furnace had two handles and three legs, and was enormous and towering, resembling a furnace that could scorch the heavens and the earth.

The one-eyed golden man is the perfect material for the furnace!

The furnace was scorching hot, with strange power flowing inside. Its interior was hollow, and the hammering intent that had just struck seemed fierce, but half of it hit empty space. Now, the furnace was going to refine the hammering intent instead.

It's happening again!

The one-eyed golden man was filled with resentment. His opponent had once again seen through his moves and prepared in advance.

However, this blow did have an effect. Just as the one-eyed golden man was trying to take the opportunity to break free from the Vermilion Bird's suppression, a raging fire suddenly broke out in the furnace. Judging from the momentum, it seemed that the furnace really wanted to refine him here.

The hammer's power descends once more!

The furnace shook violently, and a constant rumbling sound echoed inside.

At the same time, a black torrent flew in from the furnace opening and poured in.

'Rumble...'

The torrent was as powerful as a collapsing sky; it was the Netherworld Thunder and Thunder Essence. Within the thunder and thunder essence was a figure—the Thunder Beast Warrior Guard, guiding the Netherworld Thunder and Thunder Essence, charging forward with overwhelming force.

"I'm here to help you!"

At the same time, Qin Sang transmitted her voice to Zhuque.

Having dealt with the Demon Lord Chen Sha, he immediately came to assist Zhuque. The Thunder Beast Guardian was no match for the One-Eyed Golden Man, but its ability to summon Netherworld Thunder and Thunder Essence could still cause some trouble for him.

"Not bad at all," Zhuque said, opening the furnace and letting the Thunder Beast Guardian inside, while simultaneously releasing the fire domain restrictions.

When Qin Sang saw the furnace, he realized that Zhuque's methods were quite different from what he had imagined, as he had not seen Zhuque make a move before.

"Could this furnace be a magical artifact it developed when it was used to provide fire for people?"

Qin Sang inwardly grumbled, but dared not say it aloud in front of Zhuque. With a thought in mind, she secretly activated the Qilin Lotus Planting Divine Power.

His cultivation level was far inferior to that of the Vermilion Bird, so he could not directly seize the Vermilion Bird's Southern Bright Fire. However, the Vermilion Bird lifted the restrictions on him, which meant that he could merge into the Fire Domain, transform into a fire spirit in the sea of ​​fire, and use the Vermilion Bird's power to assist the Vermilion Bird.

At the same time, the one-eyed golden man was drenched by the torrent of lightning and stood frozen in place, his pupils flashing with a deep light.

He had already sensed the fall of the Demon Lord Chen Sha.

The Demon Lord Chen Sha was no match for the remnants of the Demon Lord Qing Mo Jun. He could never gain the upper hand against this demon bird from the spirit realm. This pursuit was a complete failure. He came full of confidence, but the result was like a joke.

The one-eyed golden man possessed immense arrogance, and his strength was enough to make him proud, yet he experienced an unexpected setback here.

This demonic bird, whose cultivation was inferior to his, brought him unprecedented humiliation. What was even more humiliating was that he had sworn to capture the remnants of the Azure Demon Lord and report back to his master, but now he could not do it on his own.

His anger was almost burning through his reason.

His anger grew ever stronger, and he showed no intention of restraint, letting it consume his soul, his body, and even ignite the golden primordial embryo within him…

"Watch how I, the Vermilion Bird, refine this bastard! Just wait to become my food!"

The Vermilion Bird roared and cackled wildly.

The furnace was ablaze with flames, spewing thick columns of fire from its opening. There were probably few rare materials in the world that could withstand the tempering of such flames.

Suddenly, Qin Sang inexplicably felt a strong sense of crisis coming from inside the furnace.

Zhuque's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, and his expression changed drastically.

"not good!"

Zhuque let out a piercing scream, her voice tinged with terror, almost shattering Qin Sang's eardrums, "Quickly, call that old bastard out!" (End of Chapter)
