CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 311: FORMLESS FIRE EMPEROR_2

With the enhancement of the Hunyuan All-Encompassing Luminance that increases comprehension tenfold, theoretically, the time value I have invested in this Taoist Method now amounts to several years."

With every movement guiding endless firepower, Qi Xiu waved his hand casually. A surge of purple flames burst forth, transforming into numerous domineering giant swords the size of doors. There were at least a hundred of them, erupting with deafening roars as they pierced and slaughtered through this world of ice and snow.

This was the First Level Divine Marvel of the Formless Fire Emperor—Fire Emperor!

Near absolute control and shaping of the fire energy of heaven and earth.

All the fires under heaven are in my hands.

This is the most basic, yet also the most core Divine Marvel of the Formless Fire Emperor.

"This fire is not big enough."

With a light murmur, Qi Xiu’s right hand clenched. Suddenly, the hundreds of purple flame giant swords that had been revolving and slaying between heaven and earth exploded. The surging sea of fire extended for hundreds of li around, painting the whole world purple with its burning fury.

Large swaths of ice and snow melted, and countless cold shadows were directly ignited.

A massive fog burst forth suddenly. The entire cavern space seemed like a pot of boiling water, with the cold and icy wind being evaporated.

Bare patches of dry, sandy yellow land were exposed.

Found it.

With the disguise within the cavern removed, Qi Xiu’s gaze shifted slightly, and he immediately caught the deeply hidden Outside the Domain qi mechanism.

The array Magic Artifacts hidden in these cavern spaces were all buried under the dense illusions of various Formations.

Even with Qi Xiu’s Observing Qi Skill, he had to remove the tiger skin draped over them before he could accurately grasp the Outside the Domain qi mechanism beneath.

Heavenly flames converged into a terrifying hand, peeling back the ground, revealing an array covered in Outside the Domain living characters.

Raising his hand, he extracted a cloth full of comical faces and a pungent scent of blood from inside it. Qi Xiu was about to examine it carefully when he heard a SHLICK.

Looking down, a sharp vine, emanating an eerie blue light and looking ferociously terrifying, had pierced through his chest!

The moment it pierced Qi Xiu’s chest, the vine exploded. Countless smaller thorned vines crazily sprouted, intending to skewer him alive like a sieve.

"Hehehe, what a great Human Race cultivator, far worse than the last two." With a piece of meat hanging from his teeth, Wu Qi appeared with a cold laugh, deftly flipping a slender wooden spike in his right hand.

The bizarre vine that had pierced Qi Xiu’s chest was undoubtedly from his hand.

"The last two?"

With a slight motion of his earlobe and a calm expression, Qi Xiu slowly turned around. His body, which should have been dripping with blood, did not have a single trace of it.

Formless!

By transforming his body into fire, though Wu Qi’s thrown vine thorns seemed to pierce Qi Xiu, in reality, his body had already transformed into tangible yet insubstantial blazing fire.

The vine thorns, which should have caused severe injuries, were completely ineffective!

The Fiery Energy eroded them, turning the vine thorns to charred ash as Qi Xiu looked indifferently at the Vine Demon before him.

It was clearly audible from Wu Qi’s words.

He was one of the culprits who ambushed Wei Wuji and Nangong Qingqiu.

So much for searching far and wide. What I seek comes when I least expect it.

Stroking the Golden Cry Jade Beads on his wrist, Qi Xiu suddenly let out a light chuckle.

"Finally, I can let out this pent-up frustration."

"Vent your anger? Just with you?"

Inheriting the most extreme negative emotions of greed, gluttony, and lust from the Sovereign of Myriad Vines, the temperament of the Seven-Headed Vine Demon was almost unbearably malicious.

With a grim laugh, Wu Qi took a deep breath, his chest swelling greatly, revealing countless vine-like patterns. He then opened his mouth and exhaled a torrent of flashy poison fog, forming numerous filthy, bizarre, and horrifying apparitions.

The poison fog spread, corroding even the void with a HISS.

Its terror was evident!

"Yes, just with me."

With a focused gaze and seldom showing anger, Qi Xiu swung his wide sleeve, instantly drawing the terrifying poison fog that shaded the sky into the Universe in the Sleeve.

"What?"

Not expecting his own move to be effortlessly countered, Wu Qi was caught off-guard. Before he could react, Qi Xiu, wrapped in raging flames, had already advanced upon him.

Dragon Break Slash!

He raised his hand for a palm strike, and Zi Xiao True Fire gushed out, instantly condensing into a domineering and majestic True Dragon phantom.

The phantom dragon’s body was agile and strong, its Dragon Scales flickered with a mysterious purple light, and its massive Dragon Claws trod upon the air, demonstrating unparalleled majesty and power.

With a crushing slash from its claw, the surrounding void ignited and collapsed inward, aiming to bury Wu Qi within it.

The strength of the Formless Fire Emperor lies in the depth of the Cultivator’s own foundation. The more knowledgeable and profound a person is, the more power they can exert under its absolute control and shaping force. This power can be several times, or even dozens of times, greater.

This Dragon Break Slash was Qi Xiu’s replication of the True Dragon form he witnessed in the Dragon Prison, executed with Zi Xiao True Fire.

Caught off guard and taking a direct hit from Qi Xiu’s Dragon Break Slash, the majority of Wu Qi’s face was scorched in an instant. The fierce and intense Fiery Energy continued to erode inward, seeking to completely incinerate him!

"You..."

Taking such an insultingly heavy blow, Wu Qi roared furiously. Just as he was about to counterattack, he saw the young Daoist opposite him cup his hands. Within them, eighteen radiant points of light slowly began to shine.

Shi Ba Chong Zi Xiao Guang Ji Zhen!

HUMMM—

The void trembled. Suddenly, eighteen ancient and simple spherical Formations, each with the character for ’Fire’ at their center, lit up fiercely around Wu Qi.

BOOM!!!!!

In the deafening blast, eighteen pillars of purple flames roared out, emitting terrifying heat capable of melting the void, and powerfully struck Wu Qi!

"ARGH!"

The extreme surge of impact reduced Wu Qi’s vision to a bright white. The terrifying stream of fire made every inch of his flesh char and crack before rapidly turning to ash.

"Asking for death!"

With a roar that echoed throughout the entire cave, Wu Qi suddenly unleashed tens of thousands of vine tendrils as tough as Divine Iron. These tendrils instantaneously pierced through a radius of over a hundred li, exerting infinite demonic power to forcibly extinguish the Zi Xiao True Fire burning on his body. His face was dark and grim.

Qi Xiu’s assault brought extreme pain and great humiliation to Wu Qi.

Mere livestock! I will now...

Ripples spread through the void as Wu Qi marshalled his entire Cultivation base, exuding an aura sharp enough to sever all things in the world.

Ninefold Linked Blazing Sun Chain!

Under the oncoming scorching aura, a chain made of Zi Xiao True Fire, intricately and exquisitely woven, as if a masterpiece of heavenly creation, a work of divine craftsmanship.

Each link of the chain seemed to flow with an endless stream of fiery scriptures. Interlocking and intertwining, they formed cryptic and profound Divine Marvel patterns.

Once the nine links were hooked together, they faintly formed a blazing chain pervaded with a suppressing aura!

"What is this now?!"

Entangled by the Ninefold Linked Blazing Sun Chain, Wu Qi instantly felt the boiling energy in his body being sealed by the pervasive Fiery Energy, rendering him unable to move and in extreme discomfort!

Sparks darted, locking onto every major acupoint and orifice in his body with unerring accuracy.

The more he struggled, the tighter the locks constricted.

Once again, the domineering Fiery Energy invaded his body, wantonly burning his flesh.

Following the Dragon Break Slash, Qi Xiu had suddenly opened up new avenues in utilizing the Formless Fire Emperor.

The Dragon Break Slash that mimics the True Dragon form.

The Shi Ba Chong Zi Xiao Guang Ji Zhen, modeling the Talisman Array Tao.

And also this Ninefold Linked Blazing Sun Chain, imitating the Suppression Talisman Seal Skill.

"Enough!"

Pulling out the Desolate Blossoming Staff, Wu Qi instantly broke free from the confines of the Ninefold Linked Blazing Sun Chain with the help of this Daoist Spirit Magical Treasure’s might.

But at that moment, a throbbing stabbing pain exploded at the center of his forehead, and he was overwhelmed with a strong premonition of looming danger.

Looking up, the young Daoist with an expressionless face was slowly raising his right hand. In his palm, a cluster of supremely compressed purple fire was wildly condensing, gradually assuming a terrifying form like lightning and thunder.

This lightning did not follow normal principles, taking on a strange and deadly pale white color.

Gazing down coldly at the Vine Demon, Wu Qi, from above, Qi Xiu’s palm ferociously struck out!

Divine Marvel Slash!

Carrying a fearsome aura beyond imagination, the white lightning of the Divine Marvel Slash tore through spatial constraints, leaving a deep mark in the air.

Its form was elusive. Sometimes it was thin as a spear pointing towards the sky, while at other times it spread like a net, suffocatingly filling the space around.

Almost in an instant!

The Divine Marvel Slash had fiercely shot to the center of Wu Qi’s forehead.

The Divine Marvel Slash.

It carried the intent of obliterating both body and soul!

If hit, even one in the Blood-Stained Realm would not be spared.

This was an attack aimed directly at the soul!
