Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 78 The Giant Fiery Bird, Appearing and Disappearing!
Their goal is no longer to interrupt, but... to perish together!
Use their accumulated soul power, flesh and bones over thousands of years to pollute, fill, and detonate that damned mineral vein core!
Boom boom boom boom—! ! !
A series of terrifying impacts, like a volcanic eruption, resounded throughout the mine!

The moment each ten-thousand-year-old soul beast rushed into the flame field, it was as if a huge soul power bomb was ignited!

Their bodies began to violently annihilate the moment they came into contact with the force field, but the terrifying energy turbulence and explosive impact generated by the annihilation forcefully impacted the flame force field maintained by Lin Xia and Young Gilas!

The entire mine was like a giant drum being pounded wildly!
The cave ceiling began to crack extensively, and huge rocks rained down!

The rock walls collapsed and melted in large sections under the shock wave of the explosion!
The light from the solar essence ore vein flickered under the intense energy impact, and the flowing liquid golden light even briefly stopped flowing!
Lin Xia and Young Gilas were once again violently thrown and slammed by the torrent of the explosion!
The crimson-gold skeleton emitted a piercing grinding sound, and large swathes of the covering lava material were blasted apart and stripped away!
Young Gilas was even pierced through the shoulder by a huge bone fragment containing terrifying soul power that was ejected from the explosion!
This time, the impact was so violent, the energy so volatile.

Lin Xia's crimson skeleton was blasted into countless pieces!

Arm bones, leg bones, ribs, and even the skull burning with golden flames were separated from the main body and scattered throughout the mine, which was in ruins from the explosion and was filled with lava and remnants of soul power!

Young Giras was in a similarly tragic state; its small lava skeleton was almost completely blasted apart, with its limbs, torso, and head separated and scattered among the scorching rubble and the remains of the spirit beast.

Lou Gao clutched his head tightly amidst the violent shaking and collapse, his heart filled with despair.

It's over, it's completely over... The skeleton has been blown to pieces...

hum-

However, at this moment of deathly silence and destruction, a strange resonance, like a sigh from ancient times, quietly rose in the mine.

Those scattered crimson-gold bones—Lin Xia's arm bones, leg bones, ribs, and skull.

The claws, torso bones, and skull of Young Gilas—the mysterious and intricate natural patterns on their surfaces suddenly lit up!
More dazzling than ever!
It is purer and more ancient than the light of the sun's essence!
An invisible force, originating from the very source of life, suddenly arose between these scattered bones!
call out!call out!call out!
The scattered crimson-gold bones, as if attracted by an invisible magnet, instantly transformed into streaks of crimson-gold light, ignoring spatial distance and scattered obstacles, shooting towards their respective cores at unimaginable speeds!

Click! Click! Click!

A series of crisp and powerful sounds of bones snapping together rang out!
Almost in the blink of an eye!
Lin Xia's shattered crimson-gold skeleton reassembled, reconnected, and returned to its original position above the ravaged core area of ​​the mine!
Every joint was perfectly sealed, and a crimson-gold light flowed around it. Not only was it completely restored, but the color of the bones seemed even deeper and more restrained, like divine gold that had undergone a thousand hammerings!

The lava material covering it is like living magma, surging out from deep within the bones, rapidly spreading, covering, and reshaping the lava body into a more resilient and powerful form!
In those empty eye sockets, two golden flames reignited, no longer representing pure destruction, but adding a touch of... majesty!
Young Gilas's lava skeleton also instantly reassembled!
The pierced scapula was instantly repaired under the flowing crimson-gold light!
Its small body hovered in mid-air, the lava shell covering its surface was replaced, the cracks disappeared, and the flowing runes became clearer and more complete, faintly forming a circuit resembling an ancient totem that encircled its entire body! The scarlet golden flames in its eyes lit up again, its gaze locked on the solar essence ore vein, which had been slightly dimmed by the explosion but still exuded endless allure!
Reorganization complete! Unscathed! Even stronger!
They seemed never to have been interrupted, never to have been blown apart!
The moment the reconstruction was completed, Lin Xia's crimson gold arm bone was once again deeply embedded in the ore!
Young Gilas scratched and clawed, while its lava teeth gnawed down hard again!
"Crack!"

The sound of crushing ore was exceptionally clear and exceptionally... provocative in the deathly silent mine!
"..."

For the first time, all the surviving ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts clearly revealed...fear, and...a deeper level of despair in their eyes that were burning with crazed golden flames.

They burned their lives, self-destructed, and paid the price of almost total annihilation, yet... they couldn't even delay the enemy for a moment!

"..."

For the first time, the ferocious roar from the depths of the earth froze for a moment... an unbelievable pause.

It was as if it couldn't understand why two mere ants that stole power would undergo such a change!
Amidst this suffocating silence and standoff, a new change occurs!
As Lin Xia and Young Gilas reassembled their skeletons and resumed their frenzied devouring of the sun's essence, the golden flame at the core of the skeleton, which had been pulsating weakly and burning tenaciously like a heart, suddenly surged!
Om-!
Two thin yet incredibly condensed golden beams, containing the core essence of the "Sun Essence," shot out from the core of Lin Xia and Young Gilas's bones like the gaze of a god. They were not an attack, but rather like two invisible probes that instantly pierced the deepest part of the mineral vein flowing with liquid golden light beneath their feet!

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The entire Norton volcano, no, the entire far southern volcanic belt, seemed to be awakened at this moment!

A deep, thunderous roar came from the depths of the earth, as if giant gears were turning and a long-sealed gate was being pushed open!

The liquid gold flowing beneath Lin Xia and Young Gilas's feet suddenly became incredibly viscous and heavy, like molten red gold!
An enormous, complex, and mysterious ancient magic array, composed of pure fire-based runes, slowly emerged from the depths of the mine!
At the center of the magic circle, a blurry, giant firebird made of endless light and heat appeared and disappeared!

This will swept across the ravaged mine, across the remaining soul beasts, across the towering buildings filled with utter horror, and finally... firmly locked onto those two tiny beings with burning skeletons!

That will was filled with a raging fury of being desecrated, but deeper down, there seemed to be a trace of... a very faint... surprise and scrutiny?

For the first time, Lin Xia and Young Gilas's devouring actions froze noticeably and uncontrollably the moment this vast will descended.

The golden flames at the core of the skeleton pulsed wildly, as if sensing some immense threat originating from the very source of life... or... an irresistible attraction?
Inside the mine, time seemed to stand still.
