Cataclysm King

Chapter 603 Huge Harvest, [Fire God Fruit] and [Lava Heart]

"Boom~"

The sound of flames crashing beside my ears came like a mountain torrent.

Ji Xun pulled Qin Rushi into the space gate and appeared outside the dungeon, next to Gong Wu, who had preset the teleportation coordinates.

Almost at the same time, the flaming breath of the Fire Demon King not far away had burned out a huge lava cave with a diameter of one hundred meters on the rock wall.

It was as if I had passed by death.

Gong Wu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two people escaping safely.

In his opinion, the moment just now was extremely thrilling. If it was one second later, both Ji Xun and Qin Rushi might have been buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Ji Xun also let out a long breath.

Since they were planning to take the risk and explore the Fire Demon's cave, the three of them were mentally prepared to deal with the risks.

[Flame Lord Ganul] is a unique elemental creature. No one has ever seen it, so no one knows what abilities it has. Although I didn't expect the monster to go berserk, it wasn't too surprising.

On the contrary, what really surprised Ji Xun was that they escaped safely?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun looked at Qin Rushi beside him with a relieved look.

When their eyes met, Qin Rushi's face was also full of disbelief.

Because both of them knew very well that they had been affected by the fire demon's attack before they stepped into the space crack.

Even if they were affected by that little bit, they would definitely be seriously injured even if they could escape.

Yet now they were unscathed.

The reason is the shield in his hand.

This is a silver round shield.

There is a raised pattern of a Gorgon on the front of the shield. The evil and ferocious face of the Gorgon is lifelike. It doesn't look like a forged pattern, but more like an ancient craftsman has sealed a Gorgon's head in the shield. This also gives the shield a magical effect.

Ji Xun had tested it before and found that even armor and protective gear of legendary quality would be turned into molten iron in an instant under the breath of the Fire Demon.

But this [Gorgon Shield] perfectly blocked the previous wave of impact.

Not only was the shield not damaged at all, the metal shield was also icy cool, and under the scorching flames, it emitted wisps of silver divine light.

This also means that the erosion of the law of fire is also completely blocked.

This is what amazed Ji Xun and Qin Rushi.

Gong Wu, who was standing by, also showed a look of surprise. He looked at the shield and guessed something, and asked, "The shield recorded on the stone tablet?"

"Ah."

Qin Rushi nodded, without understanding how he had blocked the shock wave before.

Ji Xun understood it.

Because there is an entry of "Absolute Defense" on this shield.

This term is actually a kind of "power of rules".

Within the scope of the shield's rules, all attacks can be blocked by the shield.

It was the first time that Ji Xun had seen such a defensive artifact. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with emotion: "This shield can absolutely defend. It is simply a natural counter to this Flame Demon King."

Do not!
Not just to restrain the Balrog.

Since it can block this kind of elemental attack that is almost the upper limit of the plane, Ji Xun can't think of any means below the god level that can break the defense of the shield.

And the moment he saw the shield, Ji Xun's mind suddenly lit up with inspiration and he figured out a lot of things.

This is no coincidence.

Before, he was a little confused as to why Old Man Xu didn't take the shield away when he saw it tens of thousands of years ago.

Now I understand.

Perhaps Old Man Xu had already foreseen that the [Lava Heart] would become a horrible monster in the future.

That kind of monster cannot be dealt with by those below the god level.

But there is such a divine shield.

Staying here will provide a safety measure for myself or other people who are involved in fate to get rid of this fire demon when I come to look for the Forbidden Ruins Stele in the future.

The causal lines in Ji Xun's mind were connected at once.

If he had not seen Old Man Xu's record about the "Aegis" on the stone tablet, he would not have known that there was such a shield in the cave, let alone risk his life to try to explore it.

After all, the fire demon is simply impossible to resist.

Not to mention now, even if the three of them reached the ninth level, they still couldn't do anything to it.

Only after getting this shield did things turn around.

In Ji Xun's eyes, he saw a causal line that stretched from hundreds of thousands of years ago to the present.

Since Old Man Xu left this shield tens of thousands of years ago, the death of this fire demon tens of thousands of years later was actually doomed.

Anyone who has the ability to get this shield is destined to have the opportunity to kill the fire demon with this shield.

Ji Xun fell into a very mysterious state.

Ever since he touched the power of rules, everything in the universe seemed to him to be operating according to various rules all the time, without stopping.

This fire demon was too powerful. According to the original plan, the three of them should have evacuated as soon as they got the shields.

Qin Rushi looked at Ji Xun's slightly dilated pupils and had long been accustomed to his constant trance state of enlightenment.

But now is obviously not the time to delay.

At this moment, the Fire Demon King also sensed the three people behind him and turned around in anger.

Qin Rushi asked anxiously: "Ji Xun, what should we do now?"

She saw that Ji Xun did not leave immediately, and he must have had other ideas.

His thoughts were interrupted by these words, and Ji Xun's pupils finally focused. He looked at the furious Flame Demon King, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "I want to try and see if I can kill this Flame Demon."

After hearing this, Qin Rushi and Gong Wu did not have any doubts at all and responded decisively: "Okay!"

They knew that whatever Ji Xun said must have been well-considered and certain.

The three of them who have reached this stage now must have extremely strong minds. The challenge of hunting the Flame Demon is a rare opportunity for them!
As soon as the words fell, the three of them moved away from each other in different directions.

This triangular formation can cooperate with each other to restrain the fire demon, which was also discussed before.

In the communicator, Ji Xun told his plan in just two words: "Consumption!"

[Flame Lord Ganul] is very strong.

It was so strong that Ji Xun originally thought that even if a few ninth-level warriors came to help, they would not be able to do anything to it.

Staying in the fire attack for one more second would be like dancing in a minefield and committing suicide.

However, a shield changed the situation.

"Absolute Defense" can perfectly block the attacks of the Fire Demon, which is the greatest reliance for survival.

Ji Xun didn't have to spend a lot of time calculating every dodge opportunity and displacement distance. He just had to bear the taunting and consume the enemy's energy.

If anything unexpected happens, Qin Rushi can come to the rescue.

In this way, they restrained and pulled each other, forcing the Flame Demon to chase and kill in rage again and again.

Although Ji Xun had never seen the Fire Demon King before, as the battle progressed, he was able to deduce some of its habits.

No matter whether it is a dragon or any other creature, any means that can spit out elemental attacks are considered "ultimate skills" and consume a lot of energy.

It's like the venom of a poisonous snake. Although it is deadly, it is not easy to recover after it is sprayed.

Especially "Rage".

All creatures that use this innate secret technique will, without exception, consume huge amounts of energy.

As long as the magic power is consumed to a certain limit, the damage of the fire law will be greatly reduced, and there may be a chance of killing.

Ji Xun and the other two gradually figured out the Flame Demon King's attack methods through repeated taunting and dodging.

The three of them cooperated more and more tacitly.

Take turns to rest and taunt,

There was no chance for the fire demon to rest.

But they didn't know that it was them who formulated this consumption plan, and it took the three of them seven days and seven nights.

On this day, on a mountain peak dozens of miles away from Yinfeng City.

Darcy, Isabel and David were holding telescopes, looking boredly at the mountains in the far distance that had turned red.

The three of them have been waiting for seven days.

Since the war started seven days ago, they have been hiding here dozens of miles away.

It’s not that I’m timid, but the battle area is now like hell, full of deadly magma and space cracks.

Not to mention humans, all the magical beasts within a radius of dozens of miles were scared away by the terrifying noise from the Duoken Mountains.

The sound of fighting could be heard from time to time, and through the telescope, the center of the battlefield had long been covered by volcanic smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen.

Isabel looked at it for a while, then moved her eyes away from the camera and asked helplessly, "The teachers haven't finished yet? Darcy, how long do you think it will take?"

Darcy, who was meditating nearby, responded, "It should be soon. The roar of the fire demon is obviously much weaker than before. I guess the result will be known in one or two days."

Isabel continued, "But, will the teachers and the others be unable to hold on? After all, the Flame Demon is a legendary elemental creature, and it can absorb the fire element in its lair."

"I don't know. I guess the teachers are just holding on. It depends on which side will give up first."

Darcy shook his head and responded.

The pair of eyes that already shone with wisdom also revealed a trace of confusion, and he added: "But since the teacher and the others have been able to hold on for so long, they are no longer in danger. Even if we can't win, we can still withdraw."

"Oh."

Isabel pursed her lips as she listened.

During these seven days, the three of them who were watching the show were so tired that their eyelids were throbbing, not to mention Ji Xun and the other two who were engaged in such a high-intensity battle.

A war of attrition of this intensity is really beyond the imagination of ordinary humans.

the other side.

In a battlefield that looked like a lava world, Ji Xun and the other two were exhausted as Darcy said. Their faces were pale, a complete sign that both their spell power and energy had been exhausted.

The situation of the Fire Demon King was not much better.

The blazing flames on its body seven days ago were now like burnt charcoal. Except for an occasional flame, it no longer had the majesty of the previous few days.

It was no longer like before, where it would throw fire-type forbidden spells at random. Now it was more of a physical attack, accumulating for a long time before it could spew out a mouthful of magma.

This is a sign of magic power exhaustion.

As Ji Xun expected, the threat posed by the fire demon with its magic power exhausted was greatly reduced.

The attack frequency decreases and the movements become slower.
But even so, he can still easily defeat an eighth-level card master in seconds.

Ji Xun and the other two did not dare to let their guard down at any time.

The current situation is that both sides are trying to see who consumes more energy.

It was also thanks to Ji Xun and the other two, otherwise, if it were any other ninth-level cultivator, they would have collapsed long ago.

Gong Wu is a martial arts saint of Qigong, and his cursed power is endless, which is why he has managed to hold on until now;

Ji Xun is also proficient in the secret method of "Gluttony", and has treasures like [Elemental Rune Stone] that can continuously restore;
Qin Rushi is blessed by immortals, and various immortals take turns to provide her with spell power.

The most important life-saving reliance of the three people is still the [Shield of the Gorgon]!
The absolute defense of this divine shield is a passive item.

In other words, there is almost no need to consume any magical energy. As long as the direction is right, this shield can be used to block fatal threats.

It is precisely because of this shield that the three of them have been able to hold on until now and not be killed by the fire demon.

However, although it was tiring, the gains were also huge.

The Flame Demon King's understanding of the laws had refreshed the cognitive limit of the three people. The seven days of fighting also allowed them to perceive the ultimate height of the laws of that plane with great clarity.

Once you have seen the scenery from a high place, many truths will become clear to you.

The life-and-death environment and the excellent conditions for perception allowed Ji Xun to roam around the Flame Demon, and from time to time he would fall into a rare state of enlightenment.

Everywhere in the field of vision, there was a sea of ​​​​magma and fire.

Inspirations continue to emerge.

"You comprehended the high-level fire magic of 'Flame Lord Ganul' during the battle. Your affinity for fire elements is +0.7."

"You were attacked by the wrath of the Fire God, 'Flame Lord Ganul', and touched the secret of the 'Divine Fire'."

"You are overwhelmed by the power of the Flame Demon King Ganul, and your understanding of the law of power has improved."

"."

Not only him, Qin Rushi and Gong Wu were also extremely talented people, and they also gained deep insights from this kind of high-intensity battle.

Even though the three of them were ultimately unable to defeat the Fire Demon, this battle experience was already a huge gain for them.

"Boom!"

"."

As the fight was going on, the Fire Demon heard the sound of a volcano about to erupt in his chest.

Qin Rushi shouted almost instinctively: "Be careful, the Flame Demon is about to spit out magma again!"

Gong Wu, who was far away, immediately withdrew and retreated, while Ji Xun, who was too close to the monster and had no time to dodge, almost teleported and hid behind Qin Rushi as if by reflex.

The next moment, a column of magma fire spurted out and was blocked by the shield in Qin Rushi's hand.

I can't remember how many times I blocked lava eruptions in these seven days.

The three of them have long cooperated in perfect harmony.

The Flame Demon King, about whom there was completely no information before, now no longer had any secrets for Ji Xun and the other two.

Its moves, magic, and attack habits had already been thoroughly explored by the three of them.

And this is also their consumption plan.

Ji Xun was responsible for close-range provocation and lure, making the Flame Demon think he could kill him and attack repeatedly.

After this spit, the flames on the fire demon's body dimmed again.

All three knew that the Fire Demon would enter a period of weakness that would last for at least a quarter of an hour.

During this time, it will only attack with its limbs and will not spit out deadly lava.

Seeing this, Ji Xun and the other two didn't hesitate at all and rushed forward.

Nowadays, the flame erosion near the fire demon is no longer fatal as long as you don't get close to it.

Gong Wu punched through the air, and his fist hit the internal organs of the Flame Demon through the thick lava stone armor;

While Ji Xun was decomposing the fire element, he also consumed it through various means;
However, elemental creatures are special. As long as their core is still there, they can be reunited after being broken up; it's like punching the air, the damage is very limited.

In comparison, Qin Rushi's attack was the most important among the three.

She held a shield in one hand and a greatsword in the other, swinging with great force.

The sharp sword energy from the greatsword emitting holy light cut deep grooves on the body of the Fire Demon.

This is none other than the [Holy Sword of Olympus], one of the four great royal sacred artifacts!
Ever since Qin Rushi successfully stole the luck of Monliod, the Lord of War, and raised this huge rebel army, his royal power has been growing day by day.

Her compatibility with the holy sword of kingship is getting higher and higher, and the power she can exert is getting greater and greater.

Although they didn't have time to communicate, Ji Xun clearly saw the changes in Qin Rushi.

During these seven days, her compatibility with the greatsword has visibly improved a lot compared to before.

At this moment, she was like a real female war goddess, exuding a heroic and sacred aura from her whole body.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sharp "clang" sound.

Qin Rushi probably didn't expect it herself, and exclaimed: "The defense is broken!"

Looking closely, the sword's energy hit the Flame Demon's back, leaving a wound several meters long.

The wound was gushing out red magma that looked like blood.

This is the essence of the original fire element!
Ji Xun was also delighted, "There's a chance!"

This was the first time in seven days that the three of them had truly broken through their defense.

When seeing the health bar, even the strongest creature can foresee the scene of death.

Seeing this, the three of them attacked more fiercely at the same time.

Ji Xun and Gong Wu were restraining each other, while Qin Rushi slashed at the wound with his sword.

This fight took another half day.

The wounds were increasing in number, and the essence of the fire element flowing from the Flame Demon's body had spilled all over the ground.

It was like a monster whose blood had been drained by Fang. No matter how strong its vitality was, it became weaker little by little.

The threat is also getting lower and lower.

This battle lasted for seven days, and at this moment, the dawn of victory finally appeared.

Finally, when Ji Xun and the other two were already numb with their attacks, they suddenly heard a sharp "hiss" sound.

Qin Rushi seized a fleeting opportunity, swooped down from a height with the Holy Sword of Kingship in his hand, and stabbed the sword into the huge head of the Flame Demon.

This is the gathering point of the Flame Demon's spirituality.

Auspicious clouds swirled behind her, and the Bai Qiu Immortal, who had been prepared for a long time, also performed the secret method of forbidden spirits: "Immortal Method: God's Tyranny!"

When the skull was broken open, the soul of the Fire Demon was also immediately bound up.

The Flame Demon's huge body suddenly froze on the spot.

But he is still not dead.

Seeing this, Gong Wu shouted, "Ji Xun, pick it up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered up the last bit of his cursed power and punched the Flame Demon on the back: "Ba Fist: Sky God Fist!"

With one punch, it seemed as if the entire mountain range was shaking.

Gong Wu threw out his strongest punch, and the Flame Demon's heavy armor shattered in an instant.

In an instant, Ji Xun clearly sensed the spatial flaw that appeared on the body. Taking advantage of the moment when the armor was broken, the two cards in his hand lit up instantly, and he stretched out his hand forward: "Magic Power·Empty Hands!"

This is a space stealing technique enhanced by two JOKER cards.

Ji Xun reached out his hand to touch the crack in space, and then in the midst of the heat he felt a burning heart!

He endured the burning pain and quickly pulled his hand out.

I suddenly saw a boiling [Lava Heart] being pulled out!

[Lava Heart]

Detailed explanation: Divine-grade fire material.

The moment this heart was peeled off from the body of the Fire Demon, the deadly burning sensation suddenly became mild.

Ji Xun looked at the heart that had burned his hand through the folded space, and was overjoyed: "It's done!"

ended.

After the heart was taken out, the Flame Demon's huge body immediately became completely motionless.

The red lava flowing through the cracks in the rock armor also cooled rapidly and turned black.

Seeing this, Gong Wu, who had already lost all his strength, collapsed to the side, gasping for breath, with a big laugh of relief on his old face: "Hahahaha. I finally got rid of this guy."

"Yeah. It's finally over."

Ji Xun also felt that the nerves in his heart, which had been broken for seven days, suddenly relaxed.

But before he could catch his breath, he saw a bright holy light before him.

Looking closely, he saw Qin Rushi pulling the Holy Sword of Kingship out of the Flame Demon's head, and his aura had undergone an indescribable change.

At this moment, every time the greatsword was pulled out of her head, the holy light surrounding her body became more dazzling.

Ji Xun had seen this scene before.

This is the embodiment of the law of royal power!
When Chujiu first ascended the throne, he was also like this, dazzling like a rising star.

It was visible to the naked eye that Qin Rushi was like a Valkyrie in person. Her left hand [Gorgon Shield] shone brightly, her right hand [Olympus Greatsword] shone brightly, and the shadow of the demon god Horagos behind her also temporarily released a brilliant divine light.

At this moment, the divine light and the holy light of the Valkyrie faintly overlapped.

Transcendental and holy!
"This"

Ji Xun's gaze froze for a moment, and he suddenly understood something.

Human emperors are not the only ones who have the destiny of kingship, this [Flame Demon King Ganul] also has it!
He is the king of the fire demons and the emperor of the fire element!
And the [Olympus Greatsword] is the legendary "Sword of the Regicide". Qin Rushi killed the Fire Demon King and completed the special promotion ceremony of the Regicide sequence!

Although Ji Xun didn't fully understand why Qin Rushi was like this, he could clearly sense that her strength had skyrocketed and she had entered the Saint Realm; her fate had also skyrocketed and she already had the power of a king; and her compatibility with the two divine objects, the shield and the sword, had also reached an extremely high level;

In her field of vision, Qin Rushi finally pulled the big sword out of the Flame Demon's body. She seemed to sense that she had entered a magical state.

After experiencing it for a moment, she turned her head to look at Ji Xun in the holy light and smiled faintly.

But all three of them were extremely tired.

There was no time for any communication, and everyone began to meditate and reply.

"You used Feast Devouring, your constitution +0.5"

"You used the Feast Devouring, Fire Elemental Law Understanding +12"

"You used Feast Devour, Fire Element Affinity +0.4"

"."

The three of them sat cross-legged in the lava cave to recover for a long time.

Ji Xun was also absorbing the extraordinary properties from the Flame Demon's corpse, and his data was rising rapidly.

Suddenly, I heard a shout from far away.

"teacher!"

"Teacher, where are you?"

"."

When Ji Xun opened his eyes, he saw three little fellows holding an oil lamp that was a relic that could resist fire magic, and coming all the way from the cliffs that were still covered with hot magma.

It was Darcy and his two companions who came here in a hurry because they were worried about the safety of Ji Xun and his two companions.

Because they guessed that this battle might be too exhausting and were afraid that something might happen to the teachers, they risked their lives to rush over as soon as the battle was over.

But even if it was a corpse, the remaining pressure and law erosion of the Flame Demon King were not something that three low-level card masters could withstand.

Unable to get close, they climbed a mountain from a distance.

After seeing the body of the Fire Demon, he slowly searched the area with his eyes.

Then he saw Ji Xun and the other two who were meditating and resting.

Seeing that the teachers were fine, the three little guys were overjoyed.

Isabel waved her hands excitedly, not caring about her ladylike reserve, and shouted loudly: "Teacher! Master's wife! Senior Gong!"

Ji Xun smiled slightly and signaled them to come over.

The three little guys then trotted over excitedly.

"Wow, teacher, you guys really killed the Flame Demon!"

"This is really exaggerated. I have never seen such a horrible monster. No, even my father has never seen one!"

"Look, there are top-grade [Fire Element Gems] all over the ground. Could these be the blood of the Fire Demon?"

"."

Darcy and the other two were extremely excited as they looked at the huge corpse of the Fire Demon King.

They are disciples of Ji Xun and Gong Wu, certainly not outsiders.

They walked around the corpse, pointing and touching this and looking there.

The three guys watched the teachers resting and recovering without disturbing them. Instead, they enthusiastically collected the extraordinary materials on the ground.

You should know that this Fire Demon King is almost the strongest creature below the god level. It can be said that the materials on his corpse are the best in the plane.

Even Isabel, a noble lady, had her eyes shining, like a little girl picking mushrooms, happily picking up the rubies on the ground.

Ji Xun looked at the three guys and smiled slightly.

Gong Wu standing by also showed a relieved smile on his face.

At this time, Qin Rushi looked at Isabel, whose face was full of excitement, and seemed to have thought of something, and said a big surprise: "There is another [Vulcan Fruit] deep in this lava cave. I took away the shield before, and I was afraid that something might happen, so I didn't have time to pick it. You can ask your teacher to help you pick it later."

When Isabel heard this, she thought she had heard it wrong. She was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise blossomed on her face. She was so excited that she said, "Wow, thank you, Master's wife~ Thank you, Teacher~"

Qin Rushi's eyebrows moved slightly, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but it was not surprising.

He had seen an introduction to it in classics.

[Fire God Fruit], a legendary fire treasure.

Legend has it that this magical fruit can only grow by absorbing nutrients from the corpses of gods, so it is not surprising that it appears here.

As the name suggests, eating it can make humans have an affinity for fire like the god of fire.

Most people cannot eat this magical fruit, but it is just right for Isabel, who already has extremely high red dragon bloodline. It is definitely a great opportunity that can take her talent to a higher level!
Sure enough, big risks often come with big rewards.

For Ji Xun, the [Lava Heart] is also a great help for him to reach the peak of transcendence in advance!
