Chapter 245: Prometheus

Zhang Xingyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Watching Demon King Hali's figure slowly disappear out of sight, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Can't understand, really can't understand.

This old demon's brain circuit is truly puzzling.

Originally, Zhang Xingyu had prepared the Fire Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and Black Dragon swords, ready to fight Demon King Hali to the death.

However, that old demon just glanced at Zhang Xingyu lightly, then turned and jumped off the sacrificial platform.

Danger averted.

Zhang Xingyu prepared to leave and continue climbing upward.

He came to steal the holy fire, not to worship.

He also didn't prepare any items to sacrifice to the gods.

On the right side of the platform, there was a mountain ridge.

This ridge was no more than a few feet wide, slanting straight into the sky.

Zhang Xingyu took a deep breath and carefully climbed onto the ridge.

Standing on it, ahead was an endless snow ridge, and the cliffs on both sides were bottomless.

Zhang Xingyu used his hands and feet, continuing to climb inch by inch.

He walked forward for half an hour.

The sky grew dark, the snow wind howled, and the gale scraped his bones.

Zhang Xingyu pulled up his mask.

A small flat ground appeared in front, and there was a small snow pile on the flat ground.

Zhang Xingyu felt a joy in his heart.

Once there, he could just avoid the wind, rest his feet, eat something, and replenish his strength.

Soon, he reached the snow pile.

Zhang Xingyu then discovered that this was not a snow pile at all; it was clearly a snowman.

This snowman had his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the ridge, looking as if he had been dead for who knows how many years.

"This big brother, sorry, excuse me, excuse me."

Arriving in front of the snowman, Zhang Xingyu put his hands together and said softly.

Leaning against this snow corpse, Zhang Xingyu took out a leather bag and took a small sip.

A burst of heat instantly permeated his whole body, stretching out his frozen muscles.

This leather bag contained the magic liquor "Ten-Mile Blood" that Alex gave him.

This "Ten-Mile Blood" was the color of blood plasma and was brewed using dozens of heaven and earth spirit materials mixed with the blood of magic beasts.

Drinking this Ten-Mile Blood could not only warm the body but also restore exhausted strength.

After resting for a while, Zhang Xingyu continued to climb upward.

He had no way back.

The holy altar was at the top of the mountain, and the holy fire was above.

Since he had promised Alex, he must obtain a wisp of holy fire.

Zhang Xingyu was not afraid of such an environment.

He had also experienced such climbing on the Dengxian Lu.

Ahead, the gale became more and more fierce.

The sound of the wind was like the roar of a magic beast, constantly echoing in his ears.

Zhang Xingyu thought for a moment, tore off two strips of cloth, and wrapped them over his ears.

Homemade earmuffs, soundproof and warm.

In the fierce snow wind, on the nearly vertical mountain ridge, a tiny figure was slowly climbing.

Many times, Zhang Xingyu really wanted to stop and rest for a while.

However, whenever such a thought arose, a loud boom would sound in his divine sea.

Immediately after, a bolt of lightning struck from above the divine sea.

The thought of resting that had just arisen was struck into black smoke and slowly dissipated in the void of the divine sea.

Cannot rest, cannot stop.

The sky grew dark, and the stars were dotted.

"HAO, HAO..."

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, a cry of an eagle came from above his head.

Zhang Xingyu looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a thick cloud and mist at the end of the ridge.

Outside the clouds and mist, several giant eagles were circling back and forth, screaming non-stop.

Deep in the clouds and mist, golden light vaguely flickered, and low groans came with the wind.

Zhang Xingyu secretly took out a spirit pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

The cloud cluster above did not look like a good place.

He had a premonition that if he wanted to pass through there, he would likely be attacked by the eagles.

He also thought that the eagles could fly, and he didn't know if he could fly with his sword.

Just as this thought arose, another loud boom sounded in the divine sea.

It seemed that sword flight was still not allowed here.

The cloud cluster was getting closer and closer.

Zhang Xingyu's arrival attracted the attention of those few eagles.

"HAO"

An eagle spread its pitch-black, shining wings, sweeping across the cotton-like cloud blocks, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly diving toward Zhang Xingyu.

"Pang!"

The Fire Dragon flew out.

Sparks splashed on the eagle's claws.

The eagle's figure paused, then flew away screaming.

Such hard eagle claws.

After receiving a full-force blow from the Fire Dragon, this eagle claw only left a faint mark.

"HAO"

Like a meteor, like lightning.

The eagle flapped its wings and attacked again.

"Fire Dragon, Zhu Xian!"

At the dantian, spiritual power was suddenly drained.

The flying sword turned into a fire dragon, roaring and meeting it.

"Boom!"

Where the fire dragon passed, eagle blood flew everywhere.

The eagle that was just aggressive had already been cut in half from the middle.

The two halves of the eagle corpse fell downward, and a moment later turned into black energy and disappeared.

"HAO, HAO, HAO..."

Seeing their companion die, the three eagles that were still circling all let out shrill screams.

Immediately after, they were like cannonballs out of the chamber, turning into clusters of black light and shooting toward Zhang Xingyu.

Sun!

Zhang Xingyu cursed, and red, yellow, and green lights shot out from his wrists.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three loud booms.

The Fire Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and Green Dragon shot back.

At the same time, the three black lights stopped in mid-air.

A moment later, the three eagles recovered their figures.

"HAO, HAO, HAO..."

Golden light flickered on the three eagles.

Immediately after, the sword feathers on their bodies shot out one after another.

Powerful!

Zhang Xingyu praised.

In his hand, the Yellow Dragon danced, and the Xian-Trapping Sword Curtain appeared again.

Pitter-patter.

After a chaotic sound like rain hitting banana leaves, the incoming sword feathers turned into clusters of powder.

Zhang Xingyu felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood almost sprayed out.

You hairless beasts, you have successfully angered me.

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Xingyu's eyes, and the Fire Dragon in his hand had already taken shape.

"Fire Dragon, Zhu Xian!"

Where the sword light passed, the eagles were beheaded.

Zhang Xingyu swallowed another spirit pill, then slowly climbed into the cloud cluster.

Not long after his body disappeared into the cloud cluster, four eagles appeared out of thin air, circling and screaming around the cloud cluster.

In the cloud cluster.

Zhang Xingyu stopped climbing.

Ahead, the mountain ridge had reached its end.

At the end, there was a cliff more than ten feet wide and dozens of feet high.

Above the cliff, there was a pitch-black old tree, and black crows were perched on the branches.

Below the cliff, a giant cross stood.

This cross was made entirely of golden stone, with runes hidden and floating on it.

On the cross, a jade-faced, golden-haired, naked man was nailed, looking very similar to Demon King Hali.

A huge hole had been opened in the man's abdomen, and the internal organs inside his body were vaguely visible.

He closed his eyes, letting out low groans from time to time.

Demon God Prometheus?

Could it be that he is the Demon God Prometheus?

That hero who stole heavenly fire for the Demon race.

Perhaps feeling that someone had arrived, Prometheus slowly opened his eyes.

"Hello! Great Prometheus!"

Zhang Xingyu respectfully bowed to this hero of the Demon race.

"Oh, Prometheus, Prometheus. How many years has it been. I have... ah"

Prometheus hadn't finished speaking before he groaned in pain again.

Watching Prometheus suffer such pain, Zhang Xingyu felt a pain in his heart.

"Hero, you have suffered!" ===== CHAPTER 246 =====
