I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 574 Reencounter with the Divine Weapon Tribulation

Seeing this, Xia Daoming had already flipped his hand, transforming it into a dragon claw covered in golden dragon scales, and grabbed at the fireball that was crashing around.

"let me!"

A voice, both youthful and ancient, as if sealed by the long years, echoed in Xia Daoming's mind.

Xia Daoming was slightly taken aback, and then he saw roots emerging from the void, passing through the Xuanming Ice Net without any hindrance, and plunging into the blood-red fireball.

The fireball was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The little red bird inside the fireball kept flapping its wings, gradually fading away and merging into the fireball.

Crimson Island, an island in the center of a boundless sea of ​​blood, is the location of the Crimson Palace.

The small fire sycamore tree, which Xia Daoming had painstakingly nourished with his qi and blood for over thirty years without any change, suddenly sprouted another bud very quickly.

The buds continued to grow larger, then split open, and grew a second branch and a leaf.

By this time, the fireball had shrunk to the size of a goose egg.

Before Xia Daoming could even speak, the Fire Phoenix Tree had already retracted its roots, its crimson light receding, transforming into a simple, unadorned sapling that stood quietly before the Crimson Palace, its branches and leaves not trembling in the slightest.

Xia Daoming, disregarding the changes in the small fire sycamore tree, reached out and collected the fireball that had shrunk considerably, then stepped out of the lava lake.

Above the lava lake.

On the battlefield formed by the giant ghost claw, Ji Wufeng and the woman with the red crown were still fiercely fighting.

However, Ji Wufeng, who had previously been at a complete disadvantage, had turned the tide, and the two became evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Upon seeing this, Xia Daoming couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.

Ji Wufeng's natural talent wasn't particularly outstanding, but when it came to the steadfastness of his Daoist heart, few could compare to him.

"That's it!"

After observing the battle for a moment, Xia Daoming spoke.

Even though Ji Wufeng turned the tide and the woman with the red crown had most of her cultivation reduced, it would still be extremely difficult for Ji Wufeng to kill her.

The battle has now reached a stalemate, which has achieved Xia Daoming's goal of tempering Ji Wufeng's Dao heart.

"I will obey the Lord's decree!"

With a wave of his hand, the Netherworld Flame Lord shook the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, and his ghostly claws transformed into a chain that bound the woman in the red crown, dragging her back into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.

A wisp of black energy churned on the surface of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner before returning to calm.

"let's go!"

As a sound rang out, a large black bird carrying Xia Daoming and the other two took flight and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The magma lake, which had been churning and surging just moments before, quickly solidified after Xia Daoming and the others left, and was soon covered by ice and snow.

After some time, some monks returned to the place they had visited.

Looking at the lava lake that was no more, surrounded by howling winds, he looked on with regret and sorrow.

Soon, news spread throughout the Minyan Continent that the Southern Ming Fire had been taken away by the Southern Town Jishan Inspector, and gradually spread to the more distant Southern Town Sea.

By the time the news spread, the real culprit had already ridden away from the Minyan Continent on a large black bird, and was only a few days' journey from Chixiao Immortal Island.

Standing on the bird's back against the wind, Xia Daoming looked back towards the southwest with a subtle expression.

Nanzhen Jishan is located in that direction.

Just now, he unexpectedly discovered a piece of information that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner had collected from refining the soul of the Crimson-Crowned Woman.

This woman was indeed sent out to Jishan on the orders of the Celestial Envoy, but not to inspect the South Sea. Instead, she was to inquire about and collect information about the Nirvana Sacred Fire.

In the woman's memory, this command seemed to be vaguely related to the great figure who descended from the celestial realm to Nanzhen Jishan a hundred years ago.

"Could it be that the great figure from a hundred years ago came for the sacred fire of Nirvana, but ultimately left in vain after failing to find it?"

The Celestial Envoy, clearly coveting the miraculous power of the Nirvana Sacred Fire to regenerate, was unwilling to give up and sent people out to continue inquiring about and collecting information about the Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Therefore, it seems there is still a slight possibility that the Nirvana Sacred Flame exists in the Xuanhuan Realm! Legend has it that the Nirvana Sacred Flame is the life-giving flame of the ancient fire phoenix. Whenever a phoenix faces certain death, it ignites the Nirvana Sacred Flame, burning away everything from its past life, and is reborn after Nirvana, becoming even stronger.

However, if they fail, all that remains is the Nirvana Sacred Flame. Other races that subdue and refine this flame, as long as they are severely injured but not killed, even if their foundation is completely destroyed and they are left with only a breath, can use this flame to recover completely.

If the Phoenix Clan were to subdue and refine this fire, they would not only gain an even more powerful miraculous power of rebirth, but they would also be able to directly inherit and merge with a portion of the Great Dao comprehended by their predecessors—truly miraculous!

Legend has it that the Phoenix perches on the Phoenix Tree, and the Fire Phoenix Tree is the sacred tree that guards the Phoenix clan. If one could find the Nirvana Flame, who knows what changes would occur to the sapling…

After sorting through the information transmitted by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, Xia Daoming gradually formed his own guesses, and his expression became increasingly subtle.

"I'm so greedy! I just got the Southern Bright Fire, and now I'm already dreaming about the Nirvana Sacred Fire, which I don't even have a glimpse of!"

Xia Daoming quickly realized that he had been too greedy. He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, turned his gaze away, and began to ponder the matter of refining the Southern Bright Fire.
-
Two years later.

Yuanhe Cave, in the nearby sea area.

Above, fiery clouds rolled and thunder roared.

The fiery clouds pressed lower and lower, like a raging fire covering the sky, obscuring the sun and moon.

Amidst the lightning, the scenes of twenty-seven layers of lightning prisons and crimson flame furnaces were faintly revealed.

Beneath the fiery clouds, facing such an astonishing heavenly tribulation, Xia Daoming stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky with no fear in his eyes, but rather full of anticipation.

Just moments before, his fourth divine weapon, the True Monarch of Lihuang, was about to be born.

The third tribulation of divine weapons arrived as promised.

The first divine tribulation came suddenly, with lightning and fire striking at the same time, catching Xia Daoming off guard and almost causing his death. Fortunately, the new branches of the Fire Phoenix Tree displayed their divine power at the critical moment, blocking the last lightning and fire tribulation.

Although Xia Daoming was prepared for the second tribulation of divine weapons, he had to exhaust all his means to survive it.

This time, however, Xia Daoming was no longer the same as before. Not only had he survived eight tribulations in the Qi Refining path, but he had also cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body Divine Power to the peak of the sixth level. However, due to his low level of Divine Weapon cultivation, he was unable to break through any further.

With such formidable strength as his backing, this tribulation of divine weapons is no longer a calamity for him, but a great opportunity.

Not only can one use the Heavenly Tribulation to refine their body and primordial spirit, but one can also use it to seize the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal of the Divine Weapon Tribulation.

He had been waiting for this for a long time!
"Come on, Master Xia has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xia Daoming muttered to himself.

It seemed that Heaven had heard Xia Daoming's provocative words.
"boom!"

A purple lightning bolt, wreathed in crimson flames, pierced through the tribulation clouds and struck down towards Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming slowly closed his eyes, golden patterns appeared on his skin, and dragon bone imprints appeared on his back.

He let the lightning and fire fall on his body.

Streams of lightning and fire continuously entered his body.

The golden patterns on his skin became more numerous and denser, and the dragon bone imprint on his back became clearer and clearer, each one appearing as if the dragon bone of a real dragon was emerging from his body, radiating golden light like a tide.

Xia Daoming wore a satisfied smile, looking completely relaxed.

"The body tempering through thunder and fire is indeed extraordinary!"

Xia Daoming sighed inwardly, and a deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. His bones and muscles bulged, and his blood energy surged to the sky. A dragon appeared in the heavens, and its aura even faintly overshadowed the power of the heavenly tribulation.

The Ancestral Dragon Body Divine Power, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally broke through again.

The seventh level of the Ancestral Dragon Body!
The tribulation of thunder and fire continues.

Xia Daoming remained silent, enduring the pain with his eyes closed.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Daoming suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed with golden light.

"The last one!"

　That concludes today's update.
