Chapter 449

~8 min read 1,477 words

Wu Xian pinched a seal with one hand, his vision completely blocked by flames.

Unable to see anything outside, Fatty Pei Dasen curled up beside Wu Xian, trembling with fear from the terrifying fire, clutching Wu Xian's leg for comfort.

After a while.

The surrounding flames vanished, but some scattered fires were still burning, so it was not dark nearby.

Wu Xian walked through the fire scene; he did not dispel the Fire-Avoidance Technique, because even if the fire was out, things harmful to the human body might still remain here.

As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings; everywhere he looked, he could see the twisted and charred corpses of the Inverted Walkers. These corpses were posed in various twisted postures, but they looked more human than when they were walking upside down before.

The monsters that had chased and killed him earlier had all died in their own unique ways.

These things each had their own abilities and their own thoughts, but faced with this terrifying fire, none of them held out until the end.

A thick layer of black ash had accumulated on the ground, with scattered malevolent incense sticks strewn across it. All the coffins had disappeared, and some stone walls that could not withstand the high heat had been scorched until they peeled.

Except for Wu Xian and Fatty Pei Dasen, there was not a single living thing left in the vast space.

What Wu Xian cared about most.

Was how many divine statues this great fire had ultimately given him.

Soon, Wu Xian found a small temple. This temple was the same size as the temple of the Black Hei Hei Tian Zhu, but its style was eight hundred streets ahead of the Black Hei Hei Tian Zhu's.

Black bricks and red tiles, flying eaves and arched brackets; every brick was carved with flame scriptures.

Inside the temple were three tiers of stepped platforms, with statues of the Fire Virtue Star Lord placed on them in sequence. This was the most divine statues Wu Xian had ever seen, yet he still frowned.

"Only this little bit?"

This fire had burned the entire Corpse Forest to a crisp, and countless malevolent entities had been ignited; there should have been at least forty or fifty divine statues.

But in the temple before his eyes, there were only fourteen divine statues, which really did not meet Wu Xian's expectations.

But when Wu Xian walked closer and saw the details clearly, his breathing became uncontrollably rapid due to excitement.

The two divine statues on the top tier were Golden Immortal Artifacts!

The three divine statues on the middle tier were Silver Treasures!

The nine divine statues on the bottom tier were just the most common Common Items!

How precious are Immortal Artifact worship items? Wu Xian had been in the Fudi for so long, and until now, he only had two Immortal Artifact worship items in his hands. Yet, just by burning one Corpse Forest, he had obtained two Immortal Artifact divine statues!

He had made a profit, a huge profit! But after the brief excitement, Wu Xian frowned slightly again.

Currently, he had two Immortal Artifact divine statues but no Immortal Artifact malevolent incense. If he used the two Treasure-grade malevolent incense sticks in his hand to worship, he might obtain an Immortal Artifact talisman, but it was also possible he would only get a Treasure-grade talisman.

If he used the Treasure-grade malevolent incense on the Immortal Artifact divine statues, it would lead to the Treasure-grade divine statues having no Treasure-grade malevolent incense to use...

If his luck was bad, Wu Xian's loss would be huge.

Therefore, Wu Xian hesitated for a while.

He decided to first put away the two golden divine statues and one silver divine statue.

This time, he would only worship the remaining eleven divine statues: two Treasures and nine Common Items.

This place was not suitable for a long stay. Wu Xian did not waste time; he picked up several Common Item malevolent incense sticks from the ground and filled all the incense burners in front of these eleven divine statues in one breath. These divine statues erupted with intense flames, and the ground was covered in molten lava, making Wu Xian feel as if he were standing in a volcanic crater.

After the shocking flame special effects, a total of thirty-three talismans occupied Wu Xian's entire field of vision.

Divine Fire Incantation! Lightning Flash Technique! Long-Burning Yin Fire Incantation! Burn Character Talisman! Roast Character Talisman! Heat Transfer Method! Flame Shaping Method! Fire Department Heavenly Soldier Technique! Mid-Air Fire Incantation! Stone-Core Fire Incantation! High-Explosive Method...

Wu Xian licked his lips, and a sense of choice paralysis welled up in his heart.

Finally, after a brainstorming session, Wu Xian quickly completed his selection. After the selection ended, there were ten more talismans in his hand: three Treasures and seven Common Items.

At this point, some might be confused.

Shouldn't he have obtained eleven talismans? Why were there only ten in his hand? This was because when Wu Xian was choosing the Common Item talismans, he had taken the Mid-Air Fire Incantation, Wood-Core Fire Incantation, and Stone-Core Fire Incantation respectively. As soon as these three incantations were in his hand, they automatically synthesized into one Treasure-grade incantation.

Samadhi Fire Incantation!

Samadhi in fire, from air, wood, and stone; this fire is three-colored, sticks to the body and does not extinguish, can be used three times.

This Samadhi Fire Incantation should be considered quite powerful among Treasure-grade incantations; its power exceeds the simple addition of three types of flames, and it also has the effect of not being easily extinguished.

The other two silver talismans were the Fire Dragon Incantation and the Fire-Burning Everything Method.

The Fire Dragon Incantation goes without saying; Wu Xian had seen it before.

The Fire-Burning Everything Method can be used twice; its effect is to allow the next flame incantation to burn anything, whether it is water, iron, air, or stone... all tangible and intangible things, as long as they are not illusory concepts like love or courage, can all be burned by the flames, but the burning effect depends on the specific situation.

The remaining seven Common Item talismans.

They were the Fire Department Heavenly Soldier Technique, Long-Burning Yin Fire Incantation, two Drill-Wood-to-Make-Fire Incantations, High-Explosive Method, Long-Burning Method, and one random talisman obtained through the "Three Lives One Blessing" from consuming talismans: "Small Character Talisman."

The effect of the Fire Department Heavenly Soldier Technique is the same as the Fire Department Divine General Technique; its effect is to summon four fire heavenly soldiers to assist in battle. The strength of the Fire Department Heavenly Soldiers cannot compare to the Fire Department Divine Generals, but they have the advantage of being more numerous.

The Long-Burning Yin Fire Incantation, as an incantation, is not qualified in terms of attack ability; three shots combined are probably not as useful as one shot of the True Fire Incantation, because the temperature of the Yin Fire is very low; you have to put your hand on the flame for a while before you can be burned.

But Yin Fire has a characteristic that made Wu Xian choose it without hesitation.

Yin Fire burns using water as fuel! This means that Wu Xian and the others, as long as they add water, can obtain a light source that continues to shine, and Yin Fire can be released three times, enough to last until they take down the Demon Infant! There are many options for Common Item flame incantations, but the Drill-Wood-to-Make-Fire Incantation is the most useful Common Item flame incantation Wu Xian has used, so since the effects of the incantations are all about the same, Wu Xian chose two Drill-Wood-to-Make-Fire Incantations.

The effect of the Long-Burning Method is to make the flame of the next flame talisman burn for a longer time, while the effect of the High-Explosive Method is to make the flame produced by the next flame talisman possess explosive power.

Both of these methods can be used twice.

As for the Small Character Talisman, it was purely a gift.

The above is all of Wu Xian's harvest from this worship. Among those thirty-three talismans, quite a few appeared that Wu Xian had never seen before, but the number was truly vast, so I won't go into detail here.

After the worship ended.

All the divine statues turned into ashes and disappeared.

Wu Xian released his hand seal; the surrounding environment was already safe.

He put away the remaining three divine statues, picked up the malevolent incense in the ash pile, and then picked up some useful malevolent entity parts.

For example, the head connected to the spine left behind by the Inverted Female Malevolent Entity, and for example, the hammer that fell off that small puppet...
