Chapter 192: What Kind of Hormones Did It Take?

However, the jellyfish's attacks came one after another, suppressing its power.

In the end, the Flame Demon King was no match, let out a roar of unwillingness, and turned to flee back into the depths of the earth.

"Hoo..."

Zhang Yi let out a long sigh and slumped powerlessly to the ground.

Although the Flame Demon King had been temporarily repelled, Zhang Yi knew this was only a stopgap measure.

The Flame Demon King would return sooner or later, and the next attack would surely be even more ferocious.

"We must find a way to restrain it..."

Zhang Yi muttered to himself.

"Perhaps... we can go to the Shui zhi shendian."

The jellyfish's voice suddenly rang out, "Legend has it that the Shui zhi shendian enshrines the Goddess of Water; perhaps the key to restraining the Flame Demon King can be found there."

"The Shui zhi shendian..." Zhang Yi raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, "Good, we shall go to the Shui zhi shendian!"

However, just as they were preparing to set off for the Shui zhi shendian, an unexpected turn of events occurred...

Just as Zhang Yi was about to respond to the jellyfish's suggestion about the Shui zhi shendian, the earth began to tremble violently, as if some giant beast were turning over deep underground. The sky suddenly darkened, thick black clouds obscured the sunlight, and purple lightning tore through the sky like hideous cracks, signaling that a greater disaster was about to descend.

"Not good!" Zhang Yi's heart sank, and a sense of foreboding welled up within him.

The next moment, a deafening roar came from deep underground, the ground split open with a huge fissure, and lava gushed out, dyeing everything around it a deep crimson.

The Flame Demon King had appeared again.

It was even more massive than before, its entire body burning with raging flames.

The terrifying pressure it radiated made Zhang Yi and the others almost unable to breathe.

"What... what kind of hormones did this guy take!"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but complain, feeling that all his previous efforts had been in vain.

The Flame Demon King roared at the sky, and the angry flames swept across the surroundings, scorching the already devastated earth once more.

The plants that had luckily survived were instantly reduced to ashes, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

"It seems it has absorbed the power of the underground lava, and its strength has greatly increased."

The jellyfish's voice trembled slightly, clearly also frightened by the Flame Demon King's current might.

"No kidding, you don't have to tell me that!"

Zhang Yi retorted irritably, gripping the Flame Demon Sword tightly in his hand while calculating a countermeasure.

The jellyfish bore the brunt of it, knowing it had to do something.

Its tentacles danced, mobilizing the remaining water elements in the surroundings to condense into a powerful stream of water, which it shot toward the Flame Demon King.

However, the effect of the water stream this time was minimal.

The Flame Demon King swung its massive flaming fists, easily dispersing the water stream; water splashed everywhere, rapidly evaporating in the high heat and turning into a sheet of white mist.

"Damn it!" the jellyfish cursed under its breath, not expecting the Flame Demon King's strength to have increased by so much.

After dispersing the water stream, the Flame Demon King did not stop its attack; it let out a deafening roar and lunged toward the jellyfish.

The massive flaming fist, wrapped in scorching heat, seemed as if it would completely swallow the jellyfish.

"Jellyfish, watch out!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yi was greatly alarmed; without hesitation, he channeled the power of the Jinwu shengshu, transforming into a golden light to block in front of the jellyfish.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the golden light and the flaming fist collided, erupting with dazzling radiance.

The massive impact sent Zhang Yi flying; he fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had been severely damaged, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

"Cough, cough..." Zhang Yi struggled to stand up but felt his whole body was weak.

"Zhang Yi!" the jellyfish exclaimed, its tentacles dancing as it tried to approach Zhang Yi, but it was blocked by Nudi.

"You go protect Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon, leave this to me!"

Nudi's tone was cold, and a flash of determination crossed her eyes.

She released a powerful frost force, forming an ice wall around the Flame Demon King in an attempt to freeze it.

However, the flames on the Flame Demon King were too scorching, and the ice wall was quickly melted, turning into water vapor.

"Useless!"

The Flame Demon King let out a mocking roar, swung its flaming fist to completely shatter the ice wall, and lunged toward Nudi.

Nudi flashed aside, dodging the Flame Demon King's attack, but her clothes were scorched by the flames, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this girl to have such a nice figure."

Zhang Yi endured the pain in his body, watching Nudi's disheveled appearance.

"You still have the heart to look at that!" Nudi glared fiercely at Zhang Yi, a blush flashing across her face.

"Hehe, I'm just concerned about you." Zhang Yi grinned, enduring the pain as he stood up.

Mother Jubiao took Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon to dodge the Flame Demon King's attacks, anxiously looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Although Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon were still young, they also felt the danger of the moment.

They huddled tightly under Mother Jubiao's wings, shivering.

"I'm so scared." Xiao Pu's voice was filled with a sobbing tone.

"Don't be afraid, child, it's alright." Mother Jubiao comforted, but in reality, she felt insecure inside as well.

Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Flame Demon King, Zhang Yi and the others were plunged into a bitter struggle.

"What do we do? If this continues, we will all be killed by it!" The jellyfish's voice was filled with despair.

"Don't give up, we will definitely find a way!"

Zhang Yi gritted his teeth.

Just at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly began to rotate, forming a massive vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a dazzling light slowly descended...

An old man wearing a golden long robe slowly descended from the center of the vortex.

He had white hair and a youthful face, possessed the bearing of an immortal, and every gesture he made radiated an awe-inspiring, powerful aura.

Without needing an introduction, Zhang Yi knew that this old man was none other than the legendary ancestor of the Jinwu clan—Jinwu Shengzhe.

This was something Zhang Yi had seen before in that book.

In short, Zhang Yi remembered that as long as one saw this Jinwu Shengzhe, one was basically not far from the Taiyang Shendian.

As soon as Jinwu Shengzhe appeared, he cast his gaze toward the rampaging Flame Demon King.

Then, he swept a glance at the battered and bruised Zhang Yi and the others, a trace of imperceptible approval flashing through his cloudy eyes.

"You have done well."

He gently stroked his white beard, his voice low and powerful, like an ancient bell tolling and echoing through the valley.

Having received the ancestor's affirmation, Zhang Yi grinned.

"Cough, cough... It's alright, it's just that this old fellow is a bit troublesome."

Jinwu Shengzhe did not pay any heed to Zhang Yi's banter; he turned his head to look at the Flame Demon King, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a vast Jinwu power surged from his body like a tide, condensing in the air into a giant golden three-legged Jinwu.
