Chapter 707: Fire Elemental Body
The so-called fire essence is a kind of creature with pure fire power that is born from the extreme concentration of the power of the fire. In addition to the fire essence, the power of the other five elements, as long as they are condensed and pure enough, will also give birth to the essence of the five elements such as water essence and wood essence.
The spirits of the five elements, such as fire essence and water essence, are usually classified as spirit monsters, just like those spirit monsters in the palace group before. However, in fact, such creatures do not have spiritual intelligence themselves. The spiritual intelligence they embody is essentially derived from the will of the great way and belongs to the manifestation of the will of the great way.
It can be said that the essence of the Five Elements is actually more like a clone of the Five Elements Dao, or a puppet manipulated by the will of the Dao. However, this does not mean that the intelligence of these five elements will be very high. Judging by the standard of human intelligence, they may not be as good as those spirits in the previous palace group.
This is actually not surprising. If Dao's will is the same as that of human beings, then I am afraid that the world will really be doomed.
The so-called "the world is not benevolent, treats everything as a dog", if the world has the same intelligence as human beings, it will inevitably have the same emotions and desires as humans, and it will be impossible to "treat everything as a dog". What will happen to man after he possesses the supreme power, then what will happen after heaven and earth possesses man's intelligence.
Therefore, Dao will is not high-level from the perspective of spirituality, it is just a vague thing that is close to instinct. For example, fire can burn, release high temperature, and emit light. These can be called the instinct of fire. Water can nourish all things, float boats, and always flow from high to low. This is the instinct of water.
However, the creatures whose bodies were made of flames that appeared around Ye Zan and the others at this time were not the fire spirits that people thought.
Ye Zan was able to make such a judgment, not because of their intelligence, after all, there was no real fight yet. However, relying on the power of the Eye of True Knowledge, Ye Zan has already seen that the power on them is not completely harmonious with the power of the way of fire in this space.
In Ye Zan's eyes of true knowledge, the group of flame creatures that surrounded him and his party were somewhat similar to Cheng Pan's changed "Western Dragon". The nature of the power they have is similar to the way of fire in this space, but it does not originate from the power of the way of fire. In other words, they exist here, but they were not born here. In fact, like Ye Zan and others, they are all outsiders in this space.
And this point made Ye Zan think of a special kind of creature called the elemental body that appeared in similar literary and artistic works with the "Western Dragon".
Of course, Ye Zan only thought so, and he couldn't really be sure that these things were really fire elemental bodies.
Ye Zan knew that a large part of the mythology of the ancient Hua Kingdom in the world of science and technology was influenced by Taoist Xuanyuan.
Therefore, some existences in the mythology of the ancient Hua Kingdom can find their prototypes in this world. But this western mythology, what is it influenced by? He has never heard Taoist Xuanyuan say that Western mythology has also been influenced by the other party, and he has never heard of anyone else in this world who has been to the world of science and technology.
Maybe it's just a coincidence! Ye Zan could only think so, maybe after this matter is over, he can ask Xuanyuan Daozu again.
In any case, the most important thing for Ye Zan and others now is not to find out the origin of these fire elemental bodies, but how to break through the positive and negative five-element formation under their obstruction.
"These fire spirits seem a little weird!" True Monarch Qinghong raised his flying sword, and after beheading a few fire elemental bodies that rushed forward, he also had some doubts about this kind of thing.
With a wave of Li Luan's hand, a skeletal arm quickly grew longer and bigger, and that skeletal palm seemed to be able to cover the sky with one hand, and grabbed the fire elemental bodies on his side.
The huge golden bone claws suddenly grabbed down, as if grabbing a group of bugs with their hands, and immediately covered a dozen fire elemental bodies under the claws. As the five fingers of the golden bone claw closed, clusters of flames burst out between the fingers, almost covering the huge bone claw.
"Interesting, this thing is not the essence of the Dao!" Li Luan retracted his arm, the huge golden bone claw and arm returned to their original size, and opened his palm to reveal several crimson crystals.
You must know that since the essence of the Five Elements is condensed from the Five Elements Dao, there must be a ray of the essence of the Dao. The essence of this Dao is not very powerful, but it can help ascetics realize the corresponding Dao. In addition, if the Dao realm is formed by the Five Elements Dao, it can also use the corresponding Dao essence as nourishment to improve and enhance the power of the Dao realm to a certain extent.
However, the few crimson crystals that Li Luan obtained after catching and killing a few fire elemental bodies were not the essence of the Great Way of Fire. Li Luan is also a majestic primordial spirit, and after a little perception with divine sense, one knows that these few crystals are just the crystallization of flame power.
"Indeed, it's good to use this thing to burn fire, but it's impossible to comprehend the Dao." On the other side, Zhenjun Wenhua and others also got a few of the same crimson crystals after killing the fire elemental body . In addition, they also found that these crimson crystals are not the same, there are large and small sizes, and dark and light colors, which seems to be related to the strength of those fire element bodies.
"Be careful, a big guy is coming!" Ye Zan suddenly reminded everyone.
Although the fire elemental bodies that surrounded them before seemed to be numerous, their strength was not very good, especially in front of these primordial spirits. Li Luan's casual claws could kill more than a dozen fire elemental bodies, and the others also dealt with it quite easily, wiping out most of the surrounding fire elemental bodies in a blink of an eye.
And at this time, from behind the formation of those fire elemental bodies, a group of fire elemental bodies that were obviously larger in size and more concentrated in strength appeared. Those tall fire elemental bodies, like the giant behind the dwarf, rushed towards Ye Zan and the others with big strides in the air.
If the strength of those fire elemental bodies before can only be regarded as Jindan level, then the group behind has already reached the Nascent Soul level. If it is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, even if the number is several times larger, it will not be able to pose a threat to Ye Zan and others. But these fire elemental bodies only said that their strength level reached the Nascent Soul level, but their real combat power far exceeded that of the Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Roar!" Several tall fire elemental bodies opened their mouths and roared towards Ye Zan and the others. And as they roared, groups of fireballs the size of wheels shot out from their mouths, blasting toward Ye Zan and the others like meteors.
Why do you say that the strength level of these fire elemental bodies is only at the Nascent Soul level, but the real combat power can far exceed that of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator? One reason is the environment here. In this flame world, these fire elemental bodies seem to have their own dao realm, which can turn a little power into a lot of power. Another reason is that their use of power can reach their own limit every time. It can be said that every blow is a blow with all their strength.
It is impossible for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm to hit every blow with all his strength, because the body has a self-protection measure.
It's like an ordinary person hitting a wall with his fist. If he really hits with all his strength, his fist may be the first thing he can't stand. Therefore, out of the instinct of self-protection, most people will instinctively control their own strength, even if they think in their hearts that they are not afraid of fractures, they will actually withdraw their strength.
The use of mana by ascetics will put pressure on the meridians, so out of the instinct of self-protection, they will rarely output mana with all their strength regardless of everything. If you output mana with all your strength regardless of everything, it is very likely that your meridians will be injured, which is not worth the candle for a monk.
But these fire elemental bodies don't need to consider their own endurance. Anyway, there are no such things as meridians, so naturally they can use every blow with all their strength without any scruples. And the Nascent Soul-level blow, and the Nascent Soul-level full blow, the gap between the two is too big. If you have to do a quantification, it is possible that the power of the Nascent Soul level's full blow is comparable to the power of the Yuanshen level's blow.
That is to say, regardless of these fire elemental bodies, their power level is only at the Nascent Soul level, but the power of each blow is enough to pose a threat to Ye Zan and others.
Seeing the fireball as big as a wheel, blasting from all directions like a meteor, Ye Zan and the others felt the power of the fireball, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect any more. Immediately, flying swords, magic weapons, and various spells flew out from the hands of Ye Zan and others, and a tight defense was built around them, meeting the countless fireballs.
"Don't use Dao Realm." Ye Zan urged everyone.
In an instant, there was a roar, and the figures of Ye Zan and others were almost submerged by the flames.
But then, several flying swords sprang out from the flames, and slashed towards those tall fire elemental bodies. On the other side, a huge golden bone claw rushed out of the package of fire, and grabbed the fire elemental body on the opposite side.
Although four of the people on Ye Zan's side were able to display the Dao realm, under Ye Zan's instructions, they only used the most common means. In fact, even without Ye Zan's reminder, they also knew that in this environment, it was not the best choice to use Dao Jing.
This space is like a Dao realm of the Great Dao of Fire, and the level of its Dao is much higher than that of everyone. In such an environment, if you want to use other avenues, you need to consume more power than usual, and a large part of your power will be used to fight against the Huoxing Dao.
Therefore, if it is placed in a normal environment, it is possible that anyone on Ye Zan's side who displays the Dao Realm can directly obliterate all these fire elemental bodies. However, in the space of Dao Realm of the Great Way of Fire, it would not be very efficient to use the Dao Realm, so it is better to kill those fire elemental bodies by ordinary means.
And, more importantly, no one knows how far the road ahead is, and how many dangers and difficulties there are on the road. Although, as primordial spirits, they can be said to have boundless mana in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still very few in the end. A little more mana wasted now, and it may become the root cause of their burial in a certain dangerous situation later.
What's more, Ye Zan and others now know that they are not the only ones who came here. Therefore, the threats they need to face may not only be arranged by mysterious forces, but also to guard against cold arrows from those "comrades".
"Don't waste time with them here, follow me." Ye Zan greeted, resisting the attacks of the surrounding fire elemental bodies, and continued walking in the direction of this space.
It is simply impossible to destroy those fire elemental bodies, even those fire elemental bodies seem vulnerable, but this is their world. Therefore, Ye Zan didn't want to waste time on entanglement with these fire elemental bodies, the most important thing was to break through the gate and leave here.
The others, of course, understood what Ye Zan meant, so they immediately followed Ye Zan closely. Fortunately, no matter whether those fire elemental bodies are Jindan level or Nascent Soul level, and no matter how strong their offensive is, they are still not enough to affect the actions of Ye Zan and others.
In this way, Ye Zan, relying on the context seen by the eye of true knowledge, led the people to move forward continuously, constantly changing the direction of progress. After walking for about two or three hours and hundreds of thousands of miles, I finally saw a space slightly different from the surroundings in the light of the fire.
It's just that, around that space, there are dozens of giant fire elemental bodies at this moment, and their power levels have already reached the level of primordial spirits. It can be said that in such a world of flames, coupled with some peculiarities of the fire elemental body itself, the strength of these dozens of primordial spirit-level fire elemental bodies may not be inferior to Peng Gong after his original transformation.
"If my calculations are correct, that space that looks a bit sunken should be one of the gates of the positive and negative five-element formation." Ye Zan stopped far away, pointed to the special space in front, and spoke to the people beside him. Everyone explained.
"Those fire spirits seem to be many times stronger than before, and they have completely sealed off there." Zhenjun Wenhua said timidly. He could already feel the powerful and terrifying power fluctuations emanating from those dozens of fire elemental bodies. If it wasn't for the fact that the true spirit seed was in Ye Zan's hands, he would never have wanted to confront those monsters.
"We don't need to entangle with them too much, we just need to break through their blockade with all our strength and break into that gate." Ye Zan could hear Zhenjun Wenhua's timidity. In fact, if possible, he himself would I don't want to confront those fire elemental bodies.
"Needless to say, let's go!" Li Luan said while staring at the front, and at the same time a half-length golden skull appeared on his body, covering everyone under the golden skull.
