Chapter 1032: Eat and Drink
As Yuan Ming kept flying back and forth, the dark blue forest gradually faded and became more verdant and full of life.
Three days later, Yuan Ming finally flew over the vast forest and crossed a steep cliff. Suddenly, the view in front of him was clear and a vast blue sea appeared before him.
He crossed the turbulent sea without hesitation and continued forward.
As he got closer to the destination, the light on the guiding gray talisman became more and more dazzling.
Yuan Ming rushed all the way without stopping for a moment. After half a month, he finally came to the center of a vast desert.
There, there was a blazing sea of fire with a radius of 100 miles, as if the most blazing flames in the world gathered here.
He stood on the edge of the sea of fire, with an endless black glass coast under his feet. It was a strange scene formed by the sand melted by high temperature.
In front of him, the rolling flames were surging, like the roar of an angry beast.
Deep in the sea of fire, the flames were rising, the momentum was magnificent, and there was a fire tornado rising into the sky, connecting the sky above and the earth below, forming a magnificent picture.
Yuan Ming lightly pinched the gray talisman between his fingertips. At this moment, it was trembling and shining, obviously guiding him to the destination of this trip.
Just as Yuan Ming put away the talisman, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, it was Kong.
"The place where the talisman points is this place. Your luck is really good. The origin of fire is hidden in the depths of this sea of fire." Kong's voice was calm and deep.
Yuan Ming frowned and stared at the sea of fire in front of him, and slowly said: "The map given by Mu Dao Ren and others does record this area. It should be what they call the Tiansha Fire Region, which is rumored to be extremely dangerous."
"That's right. This sea of fire seems to burn everything, and there seems to be no living creatures on the surface, but in fact there are many fire spirits in the form of spirits hidden inside. They are based on the sea of fire, invisible and intangible, and extremely difficult to deal with." Kong nodded in agreement.
"The jade slips mentioned that these fire spirits will devour the spiritual power and soul power of those who enter, and they will be caught if they are not careful. Many geniuses from the Izumo Realm who have come here to explore have been buried in this sea of fire." Yuan Ming said solemnly.
"Since you can control the Shura Palace, why don't you try to use its magical power of moving in the void to get on the road?" Kong suggested.
"That's what I mean." Yuan Ming nodded in agreement.
Then, Kong flashed back to the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, while Yuan Ming controlled the Shura Palace and rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the sea of fire, Yuan Ming sensed dozens of spirits shuttled out of the flames and rushed towards the Shura Palace.
However, before those fire spirits could get close, the Shura Palace had already escaped into the void and disappeared without a trace.
When the Shura Palace appeared again, more fire spirits surrounded it, as if they were given endless vitality and power by this sea of fire.
As Yuan Ming continued to go deeper into the sea of fire, he encountered more and more fire spirits, including some special beings with extremely strong spiritual power fluctuations.
When Shura Palace was moving in space for the fourth time, dozens of fire giants with a height of more than ten feet blocked the way.
They wielded giant flame axes, and their momentum was fierce. The aura they exuded had reached the level of fourth-level monsters.
What was even more peculiar was that these fire giants actually exuded strong soul power fluctuations, which was obviously extraordinary.
After realizing this, Yuan Ming was no longer in a hurry to get on the road. In a flash, he came to the outside of Shura Palace.
He was suspended in the air above the sea of fire. The raging flames and scorching air waves below made his robes flutter and his hair flutter. The true meaning of the Fire Emperor in his body was running, and only then did he offset the scorching firepower.
Seeing that there were living creatures, those fire giants immediately rushed towards him frantically, waving the giant flame axes in their hands and slashing at him.
In the whistling wind, countless axe shadows were wrapped in pieces of flowing flames, and each strike was accompanied by an explosive impact. The ground seemed to melt like a candle and turned into magma, with a power almost comparable to the attack of a level 6 monster.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming did not choose to fight with the fire spirit immediately, but directly activated the Hunyuan Dao Seal.
The next moment, a huge mixed hole vortex appeared directly above his head.
The huge devouring power radiated in all directions, and the void suddenly seemed to collapse into a huge deep pit. Dozens of fire spirits had no power to resist and were all pulled in by this terrifying force.
The mixed hole vortex rotated rapidly, and the fire spirits were completely refined and turned into a pure golden red flame.
He showed a look of surprise. This flame spiritual power actually contained a lot of solar essence fire.
Yuan Ming absorbed this golden red flame, and the solar essence fire also merged into his body, and the power of qi and blood increased a lot.
In addition to the golden red flame, those fire spirits also extracted a soul power.
These fire spirits are ignorant, and there are not many emotional impurities in their soul power. After being refined by the Hunyuan Dao Seal, this soul power is extremely pure, not inferior to the power of the moonlight, and can be directly absorbed.
"It's a pity that my Mingyue Jue has been cultivated to the top, and there is no follow-up technique, so I can't continue to improve." Yuan Ming said with some regret.
At this time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and with a turn of his wrist, he took out the Soul-Destroying Sword.
"Come out." Yuan Ming shook his wrist, and the sword body flashed with light, and a girl's figure emerged from it.
She was wearing a black long skirt, thin, and had a cold expression. She was the sword spirit of the Soul-Destroying Sword.
"These soul powers are good for you, swallow them and refine them." Yuan Ming said.
While speaking, he gathered his hands together, extracted the soul power he had just refined, compressed it into black round beads the size of longan, and gave it to the girl.
"Thank you, Master." The girl's eyes lit up with a hint of surprise, and she quickly took it.
She picked up a soul bead with her slender fingers and put it into her mouth. Without swallowing or chewing, the soul bead turned into pure soul power and was absorbed by the sword spirit.
The girl raised her head slightly, and a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on her face, as if she had eaten some unparalleled delicacy in the world.
After she swallowed all seven or eight compressed soul beads into her stomach, the aura emanating from her body increased significantly.
"It really is very helpful." Yuan Ming nodded secretly and continued to move forward.
These fire spirits contain a lot of good things. He was no longer in a hurry to get on the road, but released his aura without concealment, attracting more fire spirits to gather towards him.
The sea of fire below was surging, and the rolling waves of fire surged like a tide.
At one time, numerous fire spirits emerged from the sea of fire and rushed towards him.
Among these fire spirits, there were more than a hundred powerful monsters that had reached level four, and those below level three were too numerous to count.
"Come on!"
Yuan Ming's eyes were filled with joy. He raised his hand and swung it. The vortex of the mixed hole flew out, and its area doubled again, swallowing up the fire spirits more violently, refining them into golden red flames and soul power.
Yuan Ming absorbed the golden red flames, and the soul power continued to compress the soul beads for the soul-destroying sword spirit to swallow and absorb.
After about a cup of tea, the sword spirit girl, who was already full, burped and waved her hands repeatedly, saying: "Master, eat... I can't eat anymore. I have to refine it for a while before I can absorb it completely."
Sensing the continuous improvement of the power of qi and blood, Yuan Ming was secretly happy, and then waved his sleeves.
A red light flashed, and the Xihe Monument appeared nearby.
"Why did you call me out?" Xihezi's figure flashed and appeared beside Yuan Ming.
"The fire spirits here contain pure flame spiritual power and soul power, which should be beneficial to you." Yuan Ming said.
"Oh, really?" Xihezi muttered a little suspiciously, but still raised his hand and waved.
The Xihe Monument turned into a red meteorite and smashed into the group of fire spirits in front.
Xihezi activated the true meaning of the phantom sun, and the bodies of seven or eight fire spirits were smashed.
As she pinched her hands, a phantom of a big sun rose slowly from the Xihe Monument, emitting a strong suction force.
Those smashed fire spirits turned into countless fragments, rolled into a stream, and rushed towards the Xihe Monument.
The fiery red light on the Xihe Monument suddenly shone, and the Xihezi floating on the side also appeared with spiritual light, and the aura on his body was also steadily increasing.
"Why didn't you call me out earlier when you came to such a good place?" Xihezi was very surprised.
Over the years, while she was offering sacrifices to the Shura Palace, she was also using the spiritual materials that Yuan Ming had plundered from everywhere to repair the Xihe Monument. The Xihe Monument had been repaired, and what was lacking now was spiritual power.
These fire spirits were the best supplements for the Xihe Monument.
Xihezi controlled the stone tablet to pounce on other fire spirits and killed them.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming waved his sleeves again, and another figure emerged, it was the Great Sun Liuliyan.
Some time ago, the Great Sun Liuliyan helped King Kong break through the realm, and then he had been assisting Xihezi in forging the Shura Palace. The consumption was not small, and his body seemed to have shrunk a circle, and his aura was much lower than before.
Yuan Ming informed the Great Sun Liuliyan of the situation that the fire spirits here contained the sun's essence fire.
The Great Sun Liuliyan was in urgent need of replenishment, and immediately killed the fire spirits that gathered.
The Great Sun Liuliyan was a heavenly fire, which had an innate suppression on these fire spirits. The hunting speed was faster than the Xihe Monument, and it continued to refine the sun's essence fire in the fire spirits.
Yuan Ming continued to move forward only after all the fire spirits that gathered here were killed.
In the following journey, the fire spirits encountered became stronger and stronger, comparable to level 5, and even level 6 fire spirits continued to appear.
However, with Yuan Ming's current strength, he only needed to push forward and kill all the fire spirits he encountered along the way.
Several people benefited a lot, and Yuan Ming's physical body improved a lot, and he was already close to the middle stage of the immortal body.
The Xihe Monument also recovered most of its power, and the biggest gain was the Great Sun Glazed Flame, and the previously lost vitality was completely restored.
After a day and a night, a huge red mountain appeared in the sea of fire ahead, and the arrow on the gray talisman pointed there.
Wherever spiritual creatures grow, there are often strange beasts guarding and guarding. Yuan Ming put away the Great Sun Glazed Flame and the Xihe Monument from a long distance, and at the same time shielded his own secrets, and then quietly approached.
When he arrived near the mountain, Yuan Ming discovered that the bare red mountain was actually covered with a fiery red crystal stone, with flame-like patterns on the surface, shining brightly under the reflection of the nearby flames.
"This is Fire Essence Rock!" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up.
Fire Essence Rock is a high-level fire attribute spiritual material with an unusually hard texture and abundant fire attribute spiritual power. It is a precious spiritual material that is coveted by those who refine fire attribute spiritual treasures. A palm-sized piece can also be sold for tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
This mountain is covered with Fire Essence Rock. If it is moved to the Izumo Realm, I wonder how many spiritual stones it can be sold for.
