Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy

Chapter 841 662: The Primeval Divine Spirit's Scheme! (Part 2)

Through the use of this strange technique, by means of sacrifice, one can borrow a trace of the Zhu Rong God's divine power, thereby summoning any kind of fire spark in the world for oneself.However, the sacrifice required by this technique is extremely substantial, necessitating an existence at the Primordial Spirit level, using one's own Dao blood as an offering to be effective.

After obtaining this technique, the Fire Spirit Saint Mother only used it four times before never employing it again.

And in the legacy memories she left behind, it was clearly mentioned.

With the increase in the number of times the sacrificial casting was performed, she distinctly felt the feedback from the Zhu Rong God, who was already supposedly deceased, growing clearer, to the extent that it felt as if he was on the verge of descending back.

Noticing this anomaly, the Fire Spirit Saint Mother immediately ceased using this technique and even sealed away the four divine fires summoned through the technique.

Yet, even so, ever since then, the Fire Spirit Saint Mother would occasionally still feel the call of the Zhu Rong God.

And the most recent instance was before she headed toward the Central Earth, after seeing that [No-words Heavenly Book Stele] inscription.

"Could it be... that the fall of this Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor is somehow related to this Ancient God?"

Slowly extending his right hand, Qi Xiu pointed a finger at a bronze urn, and in an instant, densely packed golden suppressing talismans quickly spread out, covering the entire bronze urn.

At the same time.

The engraved patterns of the Zhu Rong God on the surface of the bronze urn seemed to come to life, with a pair of lifeless eyes suddenly turning to look at Qi Xiu!

"Who dares to ruin the grand plan of this god..."

Listening to the deafening murmurs by his ear, Qi Xiu immediately felt an indescribable fiery aura erupting from within him, his skin turning visibly red at a rapid pace, as he was forcibly transformed by a strange power into another form of existence.

"No wonder the Fire Spirit Saint Mother decided to seal away all the abnormal fires summoned by the Fire Summoning Technique.

I see that the so-called Fire Summoning Technique actually summoned a part of your origin.

The Fire Spirit Saint Mother was deceived by you, but then realized she couldn't obliterate the summoned origin, so she could only seal you away.

Originally, this bronze urn shouldn't have had those patterns, it was your origin that continuously eroded the urn, causing your image's patterns to appear."

With divine light shimmering in his eyes, Qi Xiu immediately perceived the danger hidden within the fire spark of this bronze urn.

These Ancient Innate Gods are indeed bizarre!

Clearly slain by that Demoted Immortal, yet capable of returning, attempting to be resurrected by capitalizing on even the slightest residual traces.

It is fortunate that the recipient of this Fire Summoning Technique was the Fire Spirit Saint Mother, who herself was a spirit being turned from an abnormal fire, thus being extraordinarily sensitive to the Fire Dao Skill, keenly noticing the deceit of this Zhu Rong God.

If it were another with a primordial spirit who obtained this technique.

Without knowing, repeatedly summoning abnormal fires would have actually been reviving this Zhu Rong God.

Once the origin was sufficient, this Ancient Innate God would probably seize the body of the spell-casting Primordial Spirit True Honor and be reborn!

"Insignificant ant... even if you know, what can you do?"

The voice of the Zhu Rong God was indifferent and arrogant, even the Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor-level Fire Spirit Saint Mother couldn't annihilate his origin, and could only seal it within the bronze urn.

What could this little True Monarch of the Dao Body do?

"What can I do? Let me show you what Qi can do."

With a light laugh, Qi Xiu waved his wide sleeve, sweeping up the four bronze urns, and stepped forward boldly, colorful intentions rising around, arriving at the Hunyuan Palace with a thought.

Upon entering the Hunyuan Palace, the four bronze urns began to shake uncontrollably.

An ancient, intense aura, carrying heavy traces of time, suddenly burst forth.

In a hazy trance, a figure with red dragons underfoot, a beast's body and a human face, covered in fire scales, with two fire snakes piercing through his ears, wearing an ancient wrap-around, surrounded by surging divine fire, with an ancient ancestral symbol faintly appearing on his brow, gradually emerged.

Zhu Rong God!

Compared to the illusory image previously manifested by Qi Xiu using the Dao God Talisman Formation, this Zhu Rong God formed from the Fire Spirit Saint Mother's blood sacrifice and the Fire God Origin was more solid and clear.

Even in the moment of his appearance, the whole of Hunyuan Palace seemed to show signs of melting.

"[Primordial Chaos]?"

The thunderous divine sound echoed continuously, and the sun-like eyes fell upon Qi Xiu, the intense and domineering gaze seeming to want to roast him to death!

"Has your lineage not died out yet?"

The slight mockery in the words of the Zhu Rong God made Qi Xiu raise his eyebrows slightly before he responded:

"Not too bad, at least we live longer than you gods."

"You ignorant ants, today this god shall melt your Hunyuan, take your spirit, and aid my rebirth!"

Before the words fell, the giant hands of the Zhu Rong God were already reaching for Qi Xiu, the boundless and vast oppressive force pinned him firmly in place, leaving him only able to watch helplessly as the giant hands descended from above.

"A living Hunyuan, a great tonic, indeed a great tonic."

With a light laugh from his mouth, the Zhu Rong God seemed to see the scene of Qi Xiu being captured by him.

Bang!

Yet, with a sudden explosion,

The Zhu Rong God's expression suddenly paused, his brow furrowing as he looked down, only to see a towering figure, imposing and intimidating in all directions, somehow having ripped open the four bronze urns, extracting the origin within and holding it in the palm of his hand.

The moment the Zhu Rong God's gaze fell upon this figure, he immediately felt an indescribable pain rise in his heart.

"You are... the Human Race's Martial Path Ancient Saint?!"

Facing the Zhu Rong God's astonished inquiry, the Great Saint Relic did not speak, or perhaps it had already lost its spirit and consciousness, with only the physical shell remaining, it had lost the ability to answer questions.

Ignoring the Zhu Rong God, after removing the four clumps of origin, the Great Saint Relic began slowly clasping its hands together, causing the Zhu Rong's Origin, which even the Fire Spirit Saint Mother, a Primordial Spirit Demon Ancestor, couldn't destroy, to burst forth with earth-shattering power under the extreme and violent compression, with threads of firelight resembling thunderbolts seeming to pierce through the heavens and the earth.

Yet even with such terrifying power, in the face of the Great Saint Relic's fleshy palms, it couldn't escape in the slightest.

As its hands slowly closed, the origins gradually extinguished and vanished.

The obliteration of the origin also led to the rapid collapse of the Zhu Rong God's majestic and unrivaled figure, with the hard-won chance of resurrection vanishing before his eyes.

"Wait... I have ninety-nine Fire Dao Sacred Methods, if you stop now, I can give them all to you!"

Unwilling to see the chance of rebirth vanish just like that, the Zhu Rong God swiftly named his price.

"Since you know I am the [Primordial Chaos] of this generation, how attractive do you think your Fire Dao Sacred Methods are to me?"

Qi Xiu's words left the Zhu Rong God speechless.

The Primordial Lineage controls all Dao, harnessing all laws; once one becomes Venerable, all the laws of heaven and earth will naturally gravitate towards them, allowing them to master various sacred methods without the need for comprehension.

Although his Fire Dao Sacred Methods might be extremely attractive to other Primordial Spirit Realm beings,

They were not nearly as enticing to Qi Xiu.

Having failed to bribe, Zhu Rong God stopped speaking, merely watching silently as his origin was crushed and destroyed by the Great Saint Relic, his figure becoming ethereal as a wisp of smoke, ready to dissipate at any moment.

Yet just as his figure was about to completely vanish, Qi Xiu raised his hand, leaving him a small trace of his origin.

"I am not interested in your Fire Dao Sacred Methods, but if you agree to another condition, I will not only preserve your origin but also help you be reborn."

Qi Xiu's words reignited the spirits of the Zhu Rong God, who had already resigned himself to dissipating.

"What condition, speak it to me."

Beckoning to Zhu Rong God, this Ancient Innate God hesitated for a moment, but still slowly bowed his great and majestic body, bringing his ear close to Qi Xiu.

"Listen carefully..."

With whispered words into the Zhu Rong God's ear, the face of this Ancient Innate God changed rapidly several times within a short span, finally gazing with astonishment and suspicion at the young Daoist in front of him, whose mouth bore a faint smile.

"Are you serious?"

"There is an old saying among the Human Race that goes 'A gentleman's word is like a promise, hard to retract even by a four-horse chariot.'

If you don't believe me, I can swear by my Dao Heart." Qi Xiu smiled calmly.

Seeing Qi Xiu so assured, the Zhu Rong God slowly stood up, his ancient eyes rarely revealing a hint of hesitation and indecision.
