Chapter 1051 The Path of Ashes
[Two hundred million years?]
The King of Ashes was a little confused, but soon, he reacted and laughed: [Could it be, prophet! Did you see my future still burning after two hundred million years? !]
[Your psychic power is incredible, you can actually see the future after two hundred million years? But this is impossible, I know my limit, I can only burn for a few years at most, you may have seen it wrong, there is not that hundred million]
"Rather than you, it's better to say it's your flame."
And Ian looked solemn, he was not joking or seeing it wrong, because the predicted vision really lasted for two hundred million years.
For the Great Aether Circulation, whether it is one hundred million years or one hundred trillion years, it is actually as short as a moment, and for the prophet, the reincarnation that has been repeated countless times does not need to be carefully observed, it passes by like a flash of light.
But the flame remains unchanged.
From beginning to end, the flame of the incarnation of the King of Ashes, which is the mechanism of "resetting the world" and "re-creating the world", has been burning continuously in the center of the virtual world.
It is called the ‘Fire of the End’, also known as the ‘Flame of Creation’. Every time an era ends and the virtual world shrinks, the inextinguishable hellfire will be guided out, and then burn the entire virtual world, turning everything into a pure stream of psychic energy again.
At that time, the ‘Apocalypse Server’ located in the depths of darkness will transform all the human souls inside it into demons and once again put them into the virtual world, and the ‘Great Collapse’ caused by tens of billions of demons will cause the virtual world to completely intersect with the real world.
Whether the real material world is destroyed into wasteland or broken debris, as long as the distortion of the virtual world begins to spread, everything will be transformed into a beautiful paradise.
It’s another new era.
The Flame Cycle is not difficult to understand. In fact, this is one of the more understandable plans among the many crazy, complex and inexplicable plans on the Terra continent. The King of Ashes himself, like his plan, is a very simple and easy-to-understand existence.
As for the reason why the other party can support 200 million years, Ian was shocked and had some guesses.
First of all, in the Flame Cycle, the world-destroying creation fire incarnated by the King of Ashes was not always burning.
He only appeared at the moment when the era was destroyed, burning the remains of the old world and creating the foundation of the new world.
Most of the time, he should be in a state of "time acceleration" for him.
Simply put, it is the Dragon Kings of Dragon Island.
The Dragon Kings sealed themselves in the twisted time flow of the black hole to maintain their own service life. For them, the time of Terra is advancing at two or three times the speed.
And the "residence" of the King of Ashes in the center of the virtual world should also be a similar structure. The entire era is probably just a fleeting light for him, until the end comes.
At that time, as the remains of the old world are burning, the remaining "humanity" of the entire era will be concentrated on the King of Ashes. In this way, in the long time acceleration state, the exhausted King of Ashes can be re-full and persist for another era.
For the King of Ashes, although he was locked up in a small black room in the virtual world, this small black room was actually a movie theater. He could watch all kinds of movies that happened in this era, and at the end of the era, he could even experience the various experiences of the movie characters through the remaining humanity.
In this way, it should not be impossible to persist for 200 million years!
And Ian also found that... the details in the Flame Cycle were obviously his own.
The time-accelerating movie theater like Dragon Island, and the method of recycling humanity to maintain the existence of the King of Ashes' consciousness, looked a bit like Ian asking the real dragon for help, and his inspiration for the Heart of Terra - in that timeline, Ian should have developed the Heart of Terra, but he did it from the perspective of Feiyandi.
He should have also developed many technologies that can assist the King of Ashes in burning.
As for the current timeline, without his own help, the King of Ashes' Flame Cycle may be very simple, or even simply burning hard, without any recycling and regeneration measures, so the King of Ashes directly surrendered when he saw the Path of Arcane.
However, the King of Ashes would never burn for two years like he modestly said now - this guy is talking nonsense, he can at least burn for a hundred years!
[It's really pleasant to fight with you. Others will avoid me if they can, and will never want to fight with me - and you can not only suppress me head-on, but also learn my skills! ]
For Ian, the power of the King of Ashes is a surprise, but conversely, isn't Ian the biggest surprise for the King of Ashes?
His skills are extremely self-destructive, and it is impossible for others to imitate them. If it is not for the Unextinguished Flame Spirit, other people will burn themselves to death in a short time if they burn the virtual realm like him. Even if they can hold on for a while, they can't have such a strong willpower as the King of Ashes, and fight with the most exquisite skills without being affected while enduring the pain of burning the soul.
At this moment, he fought thousands of punches with Ian, even if he would step back a few steps after each punch, but he felt more and more happy, and felt that he was in better condition than ever before, and every strand of source organ in his body was excited.
Even, his skills broke through at this time!
[So that's how it is. This is the vortex of life. Life and death are one and the same. As long as my memory and will can be engraved in the ether and can resonate in the virtual world, even if my body perishes and my soul disintegrates, there will be a moment of return.]
[This is the real immortality, penetrating into the deepest part of the ether, just like the circulation between the virtual world and the material world, I am also a part of the circulation]
The King of Ashes laughed loudly. With the blessing of extremely abundant energy and vitality, he had a deeper understanding of the nature of life, soul and ether, and truly realized the essence of immortality, instead of relying on the inherited blood of the top seat to perceive, the kind of hazy understanding.
In the man's chest, in the human heart, a ball of almost colorless crystal flame suddenly burst out with extremely vigorous vitality. In addition, there was also a ball of red flame burning in the brain of the King of Ashes.
The former is the immortality engraved by the King of Ashes himself, and the latter is the blood of the top seat he inherited.
——I see, in Ian's prophecy, I have already broken through this step, so it was predicted that I could burn for a long time, but in fact, I just broke through now. The prophet's misunderstanding...
——I see, this is the real foundation of the Flame Reincarnation. After I gave up, I got it instead. It's really a loss and a gain, which is hard to describe.
If, if Ian Yinfeng is my ally... whoever gets his help, I'm afraid they can realize their dreams.
[But as an enemy, it's a good ending.]
Thinking like this, the King of Ashes raised his hands. On one side was his own understanding of life, the endless and colorless 'Flame of Samsara', and on the other was the red 'Flame of Ember', inherited from the Unextinguished Flame Spirit, which was enough to destroy and burn everything.
He waved his arms, and the colorless Flame of Samsara and the red Flame of Ember swirled in the virtual world, turning into interlaced vortices. The violent vitality pushed the Flame of Ember to burn crazily, and the virtual world burned by the Flame of Ember could provide the Flame of Samsara with endless power.
The frenzy was stronger than the previous one, and the soul of the King of Ashes was thrown into it, and it was constantly compressed, condensed, and collapsed into a point.
This point is not used for attack, but is the real will of the King of Ashes. With this point as the core, his body, flames and spirit, the endless ether flames all form a huge reincarnation formation, guarding the core in the center, and mobilizing the power of the entire virtual world to attack and defend.
With the Feiyan Land Virtual Realm as the core, the power of the entire virtual world began to slowly tilt towards the reincarnation formation built by the King of Ashes.
It was like the end of swallowing everything.
[This is the attack! ]
At this moment, the King of Ashes, with this accumulated power, broke through the battle, and burst out the strongest attack in his life-he no longer cared how long he burned, because in front of Ian, who was also gradually mastering the power of the ‘Virtual Realm Circulation’, his endurance was no longer an advantage.
In this case, then give it all and hit it with all your strength!
And Ian took a deep breath and faced this attack.
If it were anyone else, even Axel at his peak, or Korizon Quest, or even the Dragon King, facing the attack of the current King of Ashes, they would probably have to retreat, unwilling and unable to take it head-on, because this was a thorough soul-burning attack, enough to crush and sink the continental plates of Feiyan Land, and directly penetrate the mantle and even the core of the earth!
Even outside the virtual realm, in the material world, the shadow of a huge vortex of fire clouds was faintly reserved above the atmosphere, emerging under the orbits of Terra and the two moons, and the overflowing thunder, black clouds and flames were like a kiln, using a corner of the entire continent as a furnace, causing the entire atmosphere and storm flow to vibrate violently.
Even though it was just created and full of flaws, it was still an attack that no one could stop.
Except Ian Yinfeng.
Except for the prophet who had seen too many scenes of the "Flame of Creation and Destruction" devouring everything in countless reincarnations!
"Sword!"
He stepped forward, and the pioneer platform behind him rapidly transformed, causing the virtual world to surge without a wind, and waves: "Sword!"
At the other end of time and space, in the Silver Peak Territory, the pioneer space and the Heart of Terra were running at the same time, and their brilliance was blazing again. The many spiritual essences accumulated over the years burst out in an instant, and following the response of the true master, a silver light rose up into the sky and pierced the clouds.
This light seemed straight, but in fact, after breaking through the atmosphere, it bent and refracted into the virtual world, shaking towards the direction of Feiyan Land.
Everything in the world, the virtual world of the clouds, and even the reincarnation were all cut by this light, and only a sword came from the sky and fell directly into Ian's palm.
And the pioneer platform also finished its transformation at this moment, turning into a spiral sword, and the silver flame sword merged with it, entwined on it, and flowing with endless starlight.
This sword is called [Awakening], also known as [Reality], and is the last key to the Apocalypse server. If one day, the flame of creation and destruction is extinguished, or if all the people immersed in the reincarnation wake up to their true nature and do not want to continue to linger like this, then there will be sword-wielding guards who will cut open the cage that imprisons all human souls, the server that protects the future of all humans, together with the reincarnation of flames, and return the ugly and absurd real world to everyone again.
Ian took the sword and slashed it without thinking, and the King of Ashes' face suddenly changed, because this power hit the junction of his double flames directly, and the power that had just broken through was forcibly separated, making him unable to control it instantly.
The spiral intertwined power and the collapse of the reincarnation constructed by it, before Ian could exert his strength, the backlash power caused his own soul will to shake violently, and he could no longer control this terrifying flame.
One wrong step, every step is wrong. With the collapse of the reincarnation formation, the blood of the top seat and immortality in the body of King Jin also lost their original harmonious control and dispersed.
A huge explosion occurred.
Immediately, the flames that swept the entire virtual world dissipated, and the figure of King Jin fell from it. The whole person was like ash, turning into a gray and white, and his body began to dissipate into pieces of ceramic-like fragments.
This was a life-or-death blow.
King Jin accumulated a lot of experience and broke through in the battle. In addition to the blood of the top seat he inherited, he also realized his own unique nature of "reincarnation immortality". This is an extremely rare way for the Terran forces to increase their fifth energy level inheritance. Except for King Jin, only the Empire, Yanjiang and Cangtian King Court relied on this method to increase their fifth energy level.
If King Jin breaks through earlier, Feiyandi will be one of the few super forces on Terra that can "compete for hegemony".
Even if Ian could withstand his attack with the power of Steel Herald, he would still have to pay the price of his body being destroyed.
And Ian's attack had been brewing for a long time - he could only win the battle with King of Ashes and could not lose. He had long stored a psychic reserve in the Heart of Terra that could trigger the Edge of Falling Sun, allowing him to burst out the strongest destructive power at the peak without the Light Disaster.
However, based on his observation of King of Ashes, he finally chose to use the Herald Platform to see through the future and select the most suitable attack to fight King of Ashes.
In such a fight, the outcome should be ambiguous, but Ian had seen too many scenes of King of Ashes activating the Flame of Reincarnation in a more powerful state in his foresight. Compared with that future, King of Ashes' skills today are full of mistakes.
[I lost]
Ember King was very calm after being hit by the sword. He stood up slowly, and smiled even though his body was shattered and dissipated like ashes: [Prophet, you guided me to break through the limit that I alone could never break through, and you also saw through the flaw that only the prophet could see]
[You are the one who made me successful, and you are the one who made me defeated. I have no regrets burning this soul]
[But, can you tell me...]
Having said this, the light in his eyes was completely dim, and King Ember, who began to burst and fall off, asked: [In the future you saw, I might succeed... 200 million years later]
[What happened to you, me, and the future of the world? ]
"I want to know too."
Holding the flaming spiral sword in his hand, Ian slowly approached King Ember. He stared at the old man in front of him - in the endless parallel time and space, there are some who are his adoptive father, guide, caretaker and guardian.
Perhaps, all forces in Terra that are worth ‘absorbing nutrients’, not just Cangxing and King Jin, but all people with dreams, were once elders of Ian Yinfeng, and taught him all their skills selflessly.
If Axel’s madness is to spread his father’s wisdom and personality to the whole world, then Ian’s madness is probably to regard everyone as his ‘elders’ and ‘teachers’.
Everyone can be his teacher, can be his elder, and his adoptive father or adoptive mother, all of whom once loved him and whom he also respected.
And ‘Ian in the past’… cut off all these causes and effects.
Accomplished ‘Ian in the present’.
With a flash of water-colored light in his eyes, the prophet, who was more ruthless than anyone else, raised his spiral sword and inserted it into King Jin’s chest without hesitation.
At this moment, the endless cyan tide was surging inside and outside the time and space!
"So, don't die so soon - come with me and see!"
The foresight was fully activated. This time, it was no longer a brief etheric intersection, but an extremely real 'prophecy'.
Its name is...
[Path of Ashes]
