Chapter 1773

Sizzle~

The clear water trapping Xiao Feng and Xuan Die suddenly began to compress, enormous pressure came from every direction of the body, and the force was incredibly huge!

Xiao Feng only felt as if he were a can placed under a hydraulic press, and instantly he had the sensation that his body might burst.

Blood spurted from his pores, taking his vitality with it as it rapidly faded.

-160 million

-160 million

-160 million

His damage reduction was already high, his vitality extremely tenacious, yet he still suffered severe injuries.

Fortunately, the Chaos Ancient Tree also took effect, merging with the immense vitality obtained from the Primeval Ancient Tree, it fed back to Xiao Feng, helping him resist the high pressure.

The feeling of being squeezed by the Lord of Life's body was painful; Xiao Feng wanted to activate the teleportation ability of the Tian Kong Boots to retreat.

However, the surrounding space was now sealed off; teleportation was impossible!

Xuan Die also endured the same torment; her beautiful form twisted slightly, and the skin on her surface was about to rupture at any moment.

She gritted her teeth and waved her long spear, parting the transparent liquid, trying to weaken the pressure, but to little effect.

The water trapping them is part of the Lord of Life's body; its self-healing ability is unparalleled, ordinary damage is useless, only by taking it away with a void rift can it truly be harmed.

"Break!"

In desperation, Xuan Die unleashed her full magical power; a golden torrent burst from the seal behind her, pouring into her long spear, and she fiercely smashed it at the water flow beside the two.

Boom!

In an instant, the void shattered, blasting open a gap.

"Ah!"

He Xianzi let out a strange cry; the void rift appeared too close, and she and Xiao Feng fell straight in, about to plunge into the void world.

Unexpectedly, the water flow wrapped around them, like a hand, and pulled them back!

"Don't even think of using the void world to escape!" came the cruel thought of the Lord of Life.

Xuan Die's feet were also entangled, and she couldn't break free. Just now, her strike also dealt 30 zi of maximum life damage; for other venerables it would surely be painful, but to the Lord of Life it was negligible.

Xiao Feng furrowed his brow deeply.

Space was sealed, teleportation couldn't be used, even shattering the void couldn't let them escape.

The process of the water flow compressing was terrifying; even with the protection of the Life Ancient Tree, it couldn't last long.

In this short time, he couldn't completely destroy this portion of water flow; a close-range heart sword might accidentally injure Xuan Die, possibly even killing her.

The situation is dire; the Lord of Life is far more troublesome than anticipated!

"Right! Star Furnace!"

His weapon is a fire-attributed venerable holy artifact; water and fire counteract each other, perhaps that star-like high temperature could inflict some damage on the Lord of Life!

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng immediately took out the treasure.

Hum~

A blue, miniature stellar body appeared in his hand; the surrounding water flow was indeed pushed back considerably, constantly turning into vapor and then merging back into the flow to restore.

With the appearance of the Star Furnace, the surrounding temperature instantly soared to an extremely terrifying level.

Xuan Die furrowed her brows; being burned by this indiscriminate weapon, her skirt was scorched, and she quickly diverted some divine power to protect herself.

"Big brother, this works, this works, quickly unleash your ultimate move!" He Xianzi shouted excitedly upon seeing the water flow's wariness of the Star Furnace.

The Star Furnace's active effect 【Transformation into Stars】 can turn into a miniature star 3600 kilometers in size, emitting terrifying heat that scorches everything within 36,000 kilometers.

Although the Lord of Life's body is huge, it is still far smaller than the range of the Star Furnace.

However, this effect is indiscriminate; under such high temperature the damage is terrifyingly strong; Xuan Die senior is merely an ordinary venerable, her weapon is powerful but her defenses lacking, making her easy to severely injure.

At this moment the surrounding space is sealed, teleportation impossible; we must find a way to get her to leave first!

"Little Bao, little Bao, wake up!"

He called out to the Tian Tian Bao Nang in his heart, wanting to use its ability to swallow all things, even living beings, to store them, to put away Senior Xuan Die.

But the Tian Tian Bao Nang has already fallen asleep, with no response at all.

"Senior Xuan Die, my weapon can release tremendous energy; do you have a way to protect yourself?" he asked Xuan Die.

Xuan Die's brow furrowed even deeper.

Being scorched by Xiao Feng's weapon was merely an accident; she could withstand this level of high temperature.

But Xiao Feng's words made it sound like she was a burden, which left her somewhat resentful.

"Go ahead and strike; I'll be fine." she replied.

The Lord of Life's thought came: "You insolent brat, you have plenty of treasures, but alas, with only this level of power you still can't hurt me."

It wasn't injured; it was merely pushed back a short distance, its maximum life unchanged.

Xiao Feng received Xuan Die's answer and steadied his heart. The situation was urgent, with no time to think too much, he immediately activated the Star Furnace's active effect!

"Transform into……Stars!"

A strand of divine power flowed into the Star Furnace, triggering its hidden miraculous effect.

Hum!

A sound like a divine dragon's roar rang out, and the blue miniature stellar body expanded violently!

In just an instant, it grew from a few centimeters to tens of meters, then hundreds of meters, then kilometers!

In the blink of an eye, a miniature star with a diameter of 3600 kilometers appeared in the sky.

Its volume isn't large, but the temperature it emits rivals that of a super-massive star, with surface temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, and the continual bursts of heat waves are even more scorching and shocking!

"Mmm..."

Xuan Die let out a muffled groan as the high temperature struck her body, causing some damage.

Xiao Feng and He Xianzi are protected by the Star Furnace's own power, so they won't be injured, but it's hard on her.

Although they had made defensive preparations, the Star Furnace's energy was still somewhat beyond her expectation, and the protective treasure on her body was almost shattered.

The surrounding water flow was forcibly pushed aside by the Star Furnace's huge volume, steam continuously emerged and then re-condensed, merging back into the water body.

The Lord of Life remained uninjured, merely being squeezed and deformed; the water was still as much water, not a drop less.

However, this freed up space, no longer tightly entangling Xiao Feng and Xuan Die.

"Let's go first, we'll discuss later!"

Xuan Die knew that victory in today's battle was hopeless; enduring the scorching heat, with one hand she sucked in Xiao Feng and He Xianzi, her spear split open space, she fled into it and vanished in a flash.

The Star Furnace lost Xiao Feng's control, shrank again, a flicker disappeared in place, and returned to its owner's equipment slot.

The two streams of water merged into one, and the Lord of Life coldly said, "Looks like it's not that formidable; no need to trouble big brother to act."

Immediately condensing water into a blade, he split open a spatial rift.

Within the spatial rift, streams of water were drawn out and merged with that body of water hundreds of kilometers across, and the life limit recovered again to 12800 hundred million.

It sensed the direction Xuan Die had fled in and slowly gave chase.

Xiao Feng and Xuan Die shifted away from the void beyond the heavens and appeared in the surface region of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Having just steadied themselves, Xuan Die used her mana to pull Xiao Feng and He Xianzi, and with a flash she flew toward a nearby mountain.

Within the mountain, thick clouds roiled; within the clouds, faintly visible were some floating ruins of once-magnificent immortal palaces.

"What place is this?" Xiao Feng asked.

With a strong enemy behind us, Xuan Die came here on purpose; she must have an intention.

She replied, "This is a forbidden-law place; it can suppress the power of laws, and the Lord of Life's regenerative ability will be weakened."

Xiao Feng frowned: "But this way we ourselves will also become weaker."

Xuan Die explained, "Your secret art transcends the laws, so it's unaffected; I'll do my best to hold it off, you go in for the kill!"
