Chapter 464: Thanks to Fellow Daoist Old Monster in the Stone

Charge, charge, charge!

The stone ball rushed headlong into the sea of fire, moving forward without looking back.

No-Life Fire uses life as fuel, restraining billions of living beings, but the Old Monster in the Stone was already dead.

The fire burned the corpse of the Old Monster in the Stone, naturally causing no harm to the stone ball.

The Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon was also just a mechanism creation, with no vitality at all.

But Sun and Ning, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, and many spiritual plants and beasts inside the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon were all alive.

So, Ning Zhuo was casting spells with all his might.

He released fire, using fire to control fire!

The Five Elements realm was at least at the Grandmaster level, allowing him to quickly understand the No-Life Fire and compile spells on the spot, maintaining his own safety in a short time.

However, doing just this was not enough.

Because in this sea of fire, there was not only No-Life Fire but also the power of the Urgent Fire Attacking the Heart Technique.

As Sun and Ning got closer to Xiang Ning, the more they would be affected by this technique, and bursts of urgent fire would appear out of thin air in their spiritual sea.

Ning

This is a supreme treasure of earth-element merit, one of the supreme treasures of the Buddhist sect, and there is a poem that testifies to it:

Bright earth generates light to illuminate the soul,

Ten thousand thoughts purified, Buddhist dharma is born.

The Western Paradise's stainless soil,

Washes away all worldly troubles to return to a pure realm.

Ning Zhuo temporarily conceived an earth-element spell, using the Western Pure Land as the casting material to draw upon the radiance of the Pure Land.

The radiance enveloped the dragon-head cabin, refining and purifying all the intense fire, keeping Sun and Ning in a state of inner peace and auspiciousness throughout.

You have a fire-element sin treasure, I use an earth-element merit treasure!

Above the clouds, Lu Chi saw the stone ball enter as if there were no one there, and his expression could not help but change: "Old Monster Shi Zhong! What a method, to be able to penetrate such a sea of fire."

The stone ball rolled to Long Ye's side.

At this moment, Long Ye had been used as firewood and his body had shrunk severely, leaving him only one zhang tall.

"You stone ball, what are you trying to do to us?!" Long Ye's right shoulder armor suddenly emitted a warning sound.

This right shoulder armor was a dignified spirit treasure, possessing quite abundant spirituality.

From the clarity of the treasure spirit's articulation and the emotions of anger and suspicion it contained, Ning Zhuo could conclude that the grade of this spirituality far exceeded that of Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng and Meng Meng Meng Ye Hu.

Inside the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, Sun Sun Lingtong's eyes shone, his mouth glistening; he was almost drooling!

"I really want to steal it."

"A spirit treasure, this is a spirit treasure!!"

Unfortunately, he also knew this was impossible.

The stronger a spirit treasure's spirituality, the better it can resist an enemy's seizure and refining.

Conversely, if a cultivator gains the recognition of the spirituality, the speed of refining the spirit treasure will be very fast, and the difficulty will be very low.

Right now, the treasure spirit is very wary of Old Monster Shi Zhong, so there is no possibility of a forced theft.

If forced, it might even trigger a desperate counterattack from the spirit treasure.

Sun and Ning did not want to start a war with a spirit treasure in this sea of fire.

At this very moment, Ning Zhuo was multitasking, simultaneously casting earth-element and fire-element spells to ensure their safety, which was already using all his strength.

After the treasure spirit scolded them, it continued to warn: "I'm telling you, don't have any bad ideas. If you provoke me, I'll make you regret it."

Sun Sun Lingtong grabbed his own hair and looked up, shouting: "Ah, I can't take it anymore!"

"Clearly this is the best time to steal a spirit treasure, but my strength is not enough, my strength is not enough."

"Why, why am I only at the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

The right shoulder armor is not like the "Gao Sheng Testament"; the latter is incomplete and lacks spirituality, while the former possesses spirituality and has the ability to defend itself.

Of course, the treasure spirit is also in a precarious situation right now.

After possessing spirituality, a treasure is considered half a living being, and thus it is also countered by the Life-Extinguishing Fire.

The treasure spirit of the right shoulder armor hid in the deepest part of the spirit treasure, not daring to show its head.

Even so, Sun and Ning keenly noticed that the surface of this right shoulder armor already showed signs of melting!

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly, and a single sentence dispelled all of the treasure spirit's defenses.

He said: "This old man has a divine decree upon him, how could I possibly harm you? Naturally, I am here to save you."

Treasure spirit: "Oh, then you are a good person. I misunderstood you, I'm sorry!"

"However, if you want to save Little Long, that's going to be troublesome."

"The biggest problem is not this sea of Life-Extinguishing Fire, but..."

Before the treasure spirit could finish, it was interrupted by Ning Zhuo: "I know, the intense fire."

The treasure spirit was stunned for a moment, then immediately became happy: "Ah, you know, Old Monster! You are so amazing!"

The next moment, it saw the stone ball emit a burst of earthy yellow radiance.

The radiance was so auspicious, so reassuring.

Under the shroud of the radiance, Long Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

In a short amount of time, the intense fire in his spirit sea had been mostly dissipated by the earth light.

Long Ye looked at the stone ball: "Old Monster Shi Zhong, you... thank you!"

He could not move because he was too anxious, so anxious that he couldn't function, but that did not mean he had lost his perception of the outside world.

Therefore, he had also heard the conversation between Ning Zhuo and the treasure spirit very clearly.

Originally, Long Ye was very disgusted by Old Monster Shi Zhong's way of participating in the battle and his actions, secretly feeling annoyed and planning to settle accounts later.

But now...

Old Monster Shi Zhong had become his savior!

This...

How could Long Ye possibly attack Old Monster Shi Zhong again?

He was a dignified temple priest of the Dragon King and knew very well the importance of reputation.

If he could attack his own savior, who would still respect him? He would be guarded against by everyone, and it might even lead the public to guard against the Ginseng-Beard Dragon King as well.

Long Ye could not attack Old Monster Shi Zhong; if he did so, the Ginseng-Beard Dragon King would deal with him for the sake of his own incense offerings!

Ning Zhuo's voice was hoarse: "Now is not the time for reminiscing, let's leave this place first."

He had persisted until now and was reaching his limit. Long Ye nodded, raised his palm, fingers together, and was about to self-decapitate in a hand-blade gesture to sever most of his vitality, like a gecko severing its tail to escape.

But he was stopped by Ning Zhuo.

"Don't waste your effort, you'd better come with me!"

The next moment, Ning Zhuo mobilized the Nascent Soul-level spiritual power in the stone ball and activated the Earth-Walking Technique.

This time, he took Long Ye and quickly sank deep into the ground.

The earth is a dead object, and the Life-Extinguishing Fire was naturally isolated.

Only before, Long Ye had invited a god to possess him and had planted many ginseng whiskers deep in the ground of this battlefield.

At this moment, these ginseng whiskers were also burning, becoming the only obstacle.

Ning Zhuo's execution of the Earth-Walking Technique was becoming smoother and smoother.

Previously, the ginseng whiskers traveled underground and went berserk, but they couldn't stop him. Now, although the ginseng whiskers were on fire and had become underground fire walls, they had stopped moving because of it. To Ning Zhuo, this was even less of a problem.

"No! No!!" Shuang Jing shouted out of composure.

At this moment, his helmet was lost, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the demeanor of a high-born disciple.

He subconsciously ran toward the sea of Life-Extinguishing Fire, his right arm extended, fingers wide open, wanting to stop Long Ye from escaping.

But in the end, he was forced back by the heat wave and could only watch helplessly as Old Monster Shi Zhong took Long Ye and burrowed into the ground together.

Shuang Jing suddenly looked up and roared ferociously at the high sky: "Fire Cloud Camp, what are you doing?!"

"Why don't you strike immediately! Can you just sit and watch the strong enemy escape?"

In the clouds, Lu Chi looked at the treasure mirror in his hand, his face full of bitterness.

Of course he had thought about preventing all this from happening, but the fire in the sea of Life-Extinguishing Fire was too great. As the main general, he knew very well that the many methods he possessed could not take effect.

Red Flower Camp.

Mu Lan's body went limp, and she almost fell again.

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi hurriedly reached out and supported her again.

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi advised: "General Mu, do not be discouraged, it can only be said that it was not Long Ye's time to Zhao Die!"

Mu Lan shook her head and gritted her teeth: "It's Old Monster Shi Zhong! Everyone underestimated him. This Nascent Soul-level existence has an extremely deep foundation, far more powerful than described in the intelligence."

"At the very least, the Old Monster Shi Zhong in the intelligence could not resist the Life-Extinguishing Fire."

Mu Lan took a deep breath and quickly stabilized her state of mind.

"My father told me, one must be indomitable!"

"No matter how difficult the situation, one must strive with all one's might to achieve the greatest results."

"Although Long Ye ran away, he is already seriously injured and unlikely to have the strength to fight again. If we wipe out this group of people, we can also harvest a rich military merit!"

Mu Lan cast her gaze directly upward.

In the Red Flower Dharma Image, Chi Bi Bi Teng Yi and the others were clearly attacking more impatiently.

The escape of Long Ye, this backbone, was too much of a blow to the morale of the cultivators!

In the distance.

Ink Abyss Cave Master Lu Lu Lu Hongtu had a complex expression.

"This Old Monster Shi Zhong actually performed a meritorious service, and such a great one at that!"

Even as the master of the Six Caves Sect, Lu Lu Lu Hongtu felt a strong sense of envy at this moment.

He knew very well that Old Monster Shi Zhong rescuing Long Ye would inevitably lead to great rewards. This was something the Thousand Peaks Forest side had to do!

Even if the Ginseng-Beard Dragon King knew that Old Monster Shi Zhong was already near the Soul Transformation stage, for the sake of the overall situation, he would reward Old Monster Shi Zhong heavily.

"Forget it, who told me I don't have the means to resist this sea of Life-Extinguishing Fire."

Lu Lu Lu Hongtu then cast his gaze toward the Red Flower Dharma Image.

"Rescuing Chi Bi Bi Teng Yi and the others is also a great merit. After returning, facing the Dragon King, there will be an explanation!"

The next moment, Lu Lu Lu Hongtu led three Nascent Soul cave masters and suddenly killed his way out.

Mu Lan hurriedly met the enemy.

Lu Lu Lu Hongtu and the others were in excellent condition and caused heavy casualties to the Red Flower Camp.

The Red Flower Dharma Image was attacked from inside and outside, finally unable to support itself, and completely collapsed.

The veterans and elite soldiers of the Red Flower Camp suffered backlash because of this, and hundreds of people were killed in the blood formation immediately.

"Run!" Lu Lu Lu Hongtu did not linger in the battle, turned around without looking back, and fled wildly.

Chi Bi Bi Teng Yi and the others saw this and also fled desperately.

The Fire Cloud Camp descended from the clouds and chased them all the way, but their speed could not compare to the Jin Dan and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Thousand Peaks Forest, and they soon had to give up helplessly.

The Golden Halberd Army arrived later and could only clean up the battlefield.

Mu Lan reorganized the entire army and counted the casualties; the heavy losses made her face as white as paper.

The one who lost more than her was Shuang Jing.

With the assistance of the Golden Halberd Army, Shuang Jing gathered the remnants and found there were less than a hundred people left, and he burst into tears on the spot.

In a certain mountain forest.

"It should be safe now." Old Monster Shi Zhong emerged his round shell first, then rolled out his complete spherical body.

On the ground behind him, yellow light glowed, and Long Ye also drilled out.

"Wait here for a moment." Long Ye sighed, immediately sat cross-legged, and urgently treated his injuries.

As a temple priest, he naturally did not lack top-grade elixirs. After taking a few, his complexion improved significantly, and his injuries accelerated their recovery.

Sun and Ning did not wait long before the Ink Abyss Cave Master, Chi Bi Bi Teng Yi, and the others secretly gathered here.

Lu Lu Lu Hongtu first asked about Long Ye's condition, and upon learning he was unharmed, immediately cupped his fists and complimented: "Winning this battle is all thanks to Daoist Shi Zhong."
