Chapter 254: Weakness of Four Fires

How exactly was the power of six fires? Although Xu Qing had never truly fought with it, he knew it well, and could even imagine it.

Because he understood that in the realm of Foundation Establishment, the appearance of every Life Fire was a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering improvement in combat power.

Even many times he felt that for Foundation Establishment after one fire, every additional fire was like breaking through from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment, as if crossing a major realm.

Xu Qing didn't know if there were other worlds outside the starry sky of this world. If there were, then whether the various races in those worlds also cultivated Life Fire like them.

Whether in the realm of Foundation Establishment, they also cultivated Life Fire, and every additional Life Fire brought such a huge change.

Because Xu Qing felt that the gap between Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment was too disparate.

Like four fires suppressing three fires, unless the other party had astonishing treasures, otherwise it was just an instant kill, and this was not something that quantity could make up for. This was completely different from Qi Condensation.

Like six-fire combat power suppressing five fires, it was the same.

At this moment, Xu Qing could only perceive that Sheng Yunzi moved, but he couldn't see the other party's figure clearly at all in his eyes.

Even if the three Life Fires in his body surged, the power of the Life Lamp formed, and the Jin Wu physical body added, he could only barely see Sheng Yunzi's blurry afterimage appearing directly before him with an astonishing speed.

In the next instant, a terrifying wave of energy that shattered everything in all directions erupted before his eyes, soaring to the heavens and shaking the earth, unstoppable and sharp.

The sound of rumbling echoed through the sky, Xu Qing's whole body shook violently, his body rolled back like a kite with a broken string, his face pale, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but there were no other injuries.

Outside his body, a light shield opened the moment Sheng Yunzi arrived, forming protection, blocking this terrifying six-fire strike!

"So it was relying on the protection of the Nascent Soul, but this protection power is dim, how long can it persist?" Sheng Yunzi spoke indifferently, looking at the retreating Xu Qing, and withdrew the palm he had just pressed.

Xu Qing's body retreated across the ground, carving out a long trench, and he did not stop until he had backed away several dozen zhang; when he looked up at Sheng Yunzi, his gaze was icy.

Sheng Yunzi's strength, Xu Qing personally experienced at this moment. The feeling the other party gave him was basically the same as the Sea Star Clan Chief who didn't reveal his Bai Li body but only showed his Golden Core cultivation base in the Sea Star Clan that day.

The same speed, the same eruption.

So the few princes of the First Peak couldn't resist and were defeated in one strike.

Clearly, if it weren't for being in the Seven Blood Eyes, if he acted outside, one strike wouldn't just be defeat, but killing.

So Xu Qing knew very well that even if he had five-fire combat power now, if he didn't have the protection of the jade slip given by the Sixth Uncle, he would have already died in that instant, and the purple crystal would be too late to recover.

And the terror of six fires was not just these. The small black insects Xu Qing released were still only able to hide outside Sheng Yunzi's body, unable to break through the invisible protection formed by his Life Lamp power.

"So, six fires... is equivalent to Golden Core power, equivalent to a Tiangong?" Xu Qing remembered when he looked at the information about Sima Ru of the Hunting Alien Gate, it mentioned Tiangong.

And now his understanding of the Golden Core realm was not completely unknown. He knew that Golden Core cultivated Tiangong, and it was not just one.

Like Sima Ru, she was in seclusion trying to form a second Tiangong.

"Tiangong Golden Core Realm, one palace six fires?" Xu Qing was thoughtful.

If there were outsiders here seeing this scene, and knowing what Xu Qing was thinking, they would definitely be extremely strange.

Because Xu Qing actually didn't have the slightest worry at this time, and even had time to consider the Golden Core Tiangong power.

"Interesting, actually pondering? Then let's see how many times your reliance can persist."

Sheng Yunzi's expression was as usual, walking out one step forward, still with that astonishing, only-afterimage-visible extreme speed, appearing directly before Xu Qing, and another palm.

But this time, Xu Qing started to counterattack.

The moment that palm fell, the ninety-two Dharma Apertures in Xu Qing's body surged again, forming a dazzling fire light shining outside, and he formed seals with both hands, pressing suddenly towards the front.

Under this press, there was a remnant soul in his Dharma Aperture, which was directly released by Xu Qing, becoming a weapon, straight towards Sheng Yunzi.

Instantly, rumbling echoed. Sheng Yunzi's speed was too fast, appearing directly at Xu Qing's side. His right hand raised and waved indifferently, Xu Qing's whole body shook wildly, the jade slip protection vibrated violently, and his body rolled back again.

But the remnant soul he released before seemed to carry some instinct. After appearing, it went straight towards Sheng Yunzi, emitting greed and madness.

"Too weak." Sheng Yunzi shook his head, his right hand raised and waved towards the side, wanting to wipe out the remnant soul.

But the moment his right hand touched the remnant soul, the greed in the remnant soul surged, actually ignoring Sheng Yunzi's attack, drilling directly into Sheng Yunzi's body, rushing towards his soul, wanting to swallow it.

This remnant soul was exactly the soul of the Guiyou race that Xu Qing had captured and tortured until now, but had not yet died.

This race was mysterious, born with the method of possession. Even if Sheng Yunzi had Life Lamp protection, it protected the body, not the soul.

So this Guiyou race remnant soul ignored the protection and drilled into Sheng Yunzi's body, rushing towards his soul, wanting to swallow it.

"Interesting." Sheng Yunzi's expression didn't have any change, but the Miemeng strange bird behind him, at this moment, had contempt in its eyes, hissed, spread its wings and flew up, pecking fiercely at Sheng Yunzi's body!

Its body was illusory. Under this peck, it directly passed through Sheng Yunzi's body. Following a shrill scream, the Guiyou race remnant soul that Xu Qing had tortured for a long time, fragile and not as good as before, was bitten out by Miemeng in one bite and swallowed suddenly.

One could see that inside the Miemeng strange bird, there seemed to be a black hole. After swallowing the Guiyou race remnant soul, it directly suppressed it in the black hole, making it unable to escape, screaming shrilly.

From beginning to end, Sheng Yunzi's expression didn't have half a ripple, as if this remnant soul was insignificant to him. At this moment, he turned his head, looking at Xu Qing who had blood at the corner of his mouth in the distance, and shook his head.

"Are there any other means? If not, the moment your protection collapses is the moment of your destruction."

"You are very wordy." Xu Qing licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold, speaking calmly.

Hearing this, Sheng Yunzi didn't speak, his right foot raised, about to fall.

But just at this moment, his body suddenly shook, his expression changed for the first time, and he abruptly lowered his head, seeing that on the very last of the one hundred and twenty magic apertures in his body, a black shadow had appeared out of nowhere!

This black shadow was like a living thing, at this moment frantically spreading in the Dharma Aperture, its speed so fast that almost the moment Sheng Yunzi's expression changed and noticed, it had already covered the last one of the 120 Dharma Apertures.

Not revealing a trace, completely blocked!

As this Dharma Aperture was blocked, the fourth Life Fire in Sheng Yunzi's body suddenly dimmed, and even the light of his whole body dimmed a bit at this moment.

And this kind of dimness didn't end. That is, in the time of three breaths, the fourth Life Fire in Sheng Yunzi's body suddenly extinguished!

Within 120 Dharma Apertures, every 30 Dharma Apertures can support the burning of one Life Fire. This is the eternal unchanging law of the Foundation Establishment realm.

No one can be an exception. 119 Dharma Apertures cannot support four Life Fires!

This was the reason why Xu Qing dared to take the initiative to attack before, and why he had time to ponder the Tiangong Golden Core combat power when facing Sheng Yunzi with six-fire combat power.

This was the biggest weakness he discovered after studying those four-fire Heaven's Pride of the Seven Sect Alliance!

Only need to extinguish one Dharma Aperture, and the other party's combat power will instantly drop by one Life Fire.

And the Shadow can extinguish even Life Fire. Even if Sheng Yunzi's cultivation base is stronger, with the Shadow's power, going all out to suppress one Dharma Aperture is completely achievable!

This was Xu Qing's method!

At this moment, as the Shadow frantically stuck to the Dharma Aperture like a dog-skin plaster, trying its best to block it, the Life Fires in Sheng Yunzi's body became three from four.

This made his face sink. But whether it was Miemeng's attack or his Life Lamp burning, he found that the black shadow was extremely strange and could not be driven away.

And he also knew how the other party appeared.

The other party was hiding in the previous remnant soul, drilling into his body. The remnant soul outside was just a cover, attracting his attention, and Miemeng also just drove away the remnant soul, not noticing this shadow.

So it gave the other party a chance.

"Such means..." Sheng Yunzi looked at Xu Qing, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"What can it do?"

"The weak, after all, are the weak. Even if I have one less fire, with five-fire power, I can still suppress you!" As he spoke, Sheng Yunzi's five-fire combat power erupted, roaring towards Xu Qing.

But this time, the killing intent in Xu Qing's eyes was completely released.

Because he could clearly see all the figures of the other party. The other party's speed was now the same as his, so in an instant, Xu Qing moved.

His speed was fast, like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was in mid-air, touching Sheng Yunzi who arrived.

Sheng Yunzi's eyes contracted. Xu Qing's speed made him very surprised.

At this moment, his right hand raised and a palm fell. Xu Qing's expression was calm, his eyes cold, directly throwing a punch. As the two figures crossed, Sheng Yunzi snorted, formed seals and flicked his sleeves. Instantly, a great force spread, his fingers stabbing straight towards Xu Qing's eyes.

Xu Qing formed seals with his left hand, a dagger manifested, cutting towards Sheng Yunzi's neck.

With a bang, the two confronted again.

Sheng Yunzi lifted his right foot and swept it suddenly toward Xu Qing; Xu Qing dodged by bending his knees, his body leaping up to strike directly at Sheng Yunzi's chest, while his hands danced, causing malevolent fire to erupt and spread in all directions.

Sheng Yunzi had fierce light in his eyes, hands clasped together, smashing fiercely towards the bottom.

The loud noise rose again, the sound like a great bell!

A series of rumbling sounds continued to erupt, spreading to all directions, the sound shaking the forest and trees, making the wind and clouds change color, heaven-shaking and earth-shattering.

The figures of Xu Qing and Sheng Yunzi could not be seen clearly in the eyes of outsiders. They could only hear the rumbling and terrifying fluctuations constantly exploding in all directions, and there were countless buildings on the ground, constantly collapsing at this moment, as if swept by invisible hands, destroying everything.

Extremely intense.

Until the next instant, Sheng Yunzi's figure appeared from mid-air, retreating more than ten zhang, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, staring fixedly at Xu Qing, suddenly speaking.

"There is a problem with you!" ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
