Chapter 696 Becoming a Demon
Chapter 696 Becoming a Demon
"You...you haven't already broken through, have you?"
Ji Wanru paused for a moment before asking.
If that's the case, he must have encountered some kind of opportunity here.
Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to break through so quickly.
"Just one step away, it's just that I've become a little stronger."
Ning Qi didn't say much, he just said it simply.
"I feel that you will have a chance to break through here!"
Upon hearing his words, Ji Wanru readily replied, "You can definitely do it."
"Then I must accept your kind words."
Ning Qi smiled and then said, "Alright, you should get some rest too."
"it is good."
Ji Wanru didn't say anything more.
I found a place and started meditating and regulating my breathing.
Ning Qi was initially adjusting his breathing, but Shi Xiaokun later found him.
"Master, the Primal Flames have been subdued."
Shi Xiaokun spoke to Ning Qi within his sea of consciousness.
"Oh, that's pretty fast!"
Ning Qi smiled upon hearing his words and said, "In that case, we have gained another powerful tool."
"Okay, you can come in now."
"If we refine him directly, our strength will increase even further."
Shi Xiaokun nodded and said with a smile.
"it is good!"
After agreeing, Ning Qi found a place and came to his Sumeru Space.
Then, in an instant, he arrived in his inner world.
"This way!"
Shi Xiaokun led the way like this.
Ning Qi followed him forward until they finally arrived at a sea of fire.
"A sea of fire that I specially created!"
Shi Xiaokun said with a smile, "This is the Primal Flame!"
"Why doesn't it look strange?"
Yao Ling, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you ruin it by refining it?"
"That's impossible!"
Shi Xiaokun shook his head and said with great certainty, "The calmer the environment, the stronger the destructive power!"
"Master! You can go in and refine it now!"
"There won't be any problems, he's already ours!"
"Oh, what about the Fire Spirit?"
After he finished speaking, Ning Qi asked seriously.
"It has already been refined!"
"Originally, I was planning to keep it like Yao Ling and subdue it!"
"However, this guy is so unyielding that I have no choice but to refine him!"
Shi Xiaokun shrugged, revealing a helpless expression.
"If that's the case, then forget it!"
Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "Wouldn't it be a waste of too much time for me to go in and cultivate now?"
"Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone from outside contacted me?"
"After all, the insects here have started to loosen up, and they could move at any time."
"It's alright, I've already perfected our time difference formation!"
"One hour here is equivalent to one year outside!"
Shi Xiaokun smiled and said confidently, "This is a waste of many of our rare and precious resources!"
"Well, if that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
"Then it won't be long before we can refine it!"
Ning Qi nodded after hearing his words.
Then, it flew towards the sea of fire ahead.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the center of the sea of fire.
Here, Ning Qi also saw clusters of flames forming fiery pythons that were surging about.
They did not attack Ning Qi after they saw him.
Instead, they began to surround him, as if protecting him.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and then sat down cross-legged.
They began to slowly gather the flames back.
Ultimately, it was absorbed into one's own body.
These fire pythons began to coil around Ning Qi, one after another surging into his body.
"If I refine this too, I should be able to break through, right?"
"He's already at the level of a half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal!"
"Then let's give it a try!"
After muttering to himself, Ning Qi focused his attention on the sea of fire before him.
Then, he activated all the power within his body.
"call!"
Centered on him, countless flames began to surge forth.
This turned his place into a whirlpool.
The sea of fire was stirred up and shook violently.
After he absorbed these flames, they began to flow continuously into his body.
After being absorbed by his meridians and dantian, it re-emerged from his body.
Finally, after leaving, the primordial flames, gathered once more, returned once more.
This cycle repeats itself, creating a fiery loop here.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Looking at the scene before her, Yao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "When did Master become so strong?"
His eyes were filled with awe.
Ning Qi has transformed from a True Immortal to a Golden Immortal.
He has now reached the strength of a half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal.
"He'll definitely break through this time!"
Shi Xiaokun also looked very confident.
Those eyes also held a look of surprise.
He hadn't expected Ning Qi to reach this point so quickly.
Originally, I only chose to follow Ning Qi because I had no other choice.
But now it seems like such a wise choice.
If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
"Yes, I'll go and lend him a hand!"
Yao Ling looked at Ning Qi, then flew away.
He had already discovered that Ning Qi's body was beginning to char.
Right now, that's exactly the time when his life force is needed to assist us.
"I'm here too!"
Seeing this, Shi Xiaokun also had no intention of staying idle.
He leaped and sped directly toward Ning Qi.
"call!"
Ning Qi was suffering greatly at this time.
At first, these flames could also enhance his physique.
But later, he discovered that the flames had been deceiving him all along.
At first, it could still provide support, but later it was entirely about utilizing his physical strength.
It's as if he is being reborn from the ashes.
"Oh no, am I about to suffer a qi deviation?"
Ning Qi knew very well that the situation was not optimistic.
In other words, he was about to be engulfed by the flames.
Then, one's will will dissipate.
It's as if they were devoured by the fire spirit of this primordial flame.
"Master, I've arrived!"
It was at this moment, when Ning Qi was about to give up, that he finally gave up.
The voice of the medicine spirit came.
"call!"
The next moment, the medicine spirit released all of its life force.
All of it rushed into Ning Qi's body.
"呲呲!"
In this way, Ning Qi's scorched body was gradually restored.
First it was the bones, then the meridians, and finally the skin.
It was restored layer by layer.
"I'm here too!"
Shi Xiaokun's voice also came through.
The next moment, Shi Xiaokun also came over to help.
He poured all the spiritual energy in his body into Ning Qi's body.
They began to help him repair the immortal power that had been draining from his body.
With their help, Ning Qi's body began to recover rapidly.
However, this was only temporary. The body, which was quickly repaired, was eroded once again.
Ning Qi had become skin and bones.
If it weren't for the blessing of the medicinal spirit, the last layer of skin and flesh on his body would have been burned away.
"call!"
At this moment, Ning Qi's pain had dissipated.
He was so numb from the heat that he no longer felt any pain.
"Master, hang in there!" The spirit medicine kept encouraging him inside his body.
At this moment, even the medicinal spirit had become listless.
Protecting Ning Qi consumed a significant portion of his life force.
It was almost too late for him to hold on.
"Master, use the power of incense!"
Shi Xiaokun immediately reminded him, as if he had just thought of something.
"Right! How could I forget that!"
Upon hearing his words, Ning Qi immediately began to circulate his immortal and demonic power.
This gathers the power of incense offerings from here.
Then, he began to strengthen his physical body.
In this way, Ning Qi's physique began to recover.
With the power of incense offerings, the immortal and demonic power within him began to revive.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and continued to circulate the power of the incense.
At this point, two poles formed in his mind.
Below are crimson flames, and above is the hazy power of incense.
The two forces resist each other, creating a peculiar landscape.
This allowed everyone here to see it clearly.
The people here are all subjects of Ning Qi, and they were all carefully cultivated by Shi Xiaokun.
"Look, there's a strange phenomenon here!"
"Yes, is our realm lord breaking through?"
"That's amazing! It can actually draw upon the power of heaven and earth!"
"..."
Many people looked at this scene and sighed repeatedly.
A sense of awe was evident in everyone's eyes.
These were all ideas that Shi Xiaokun had instilled in them.
This was to instill reverence in them so that he could successfully absorb their incense offerings.
Make yourself stronger.
At this moment, with the blessing of the incense's power, Ning Qi had completely restored his physique.
However, this was not the end; the flames continued to retaliate.
Just like never giving up.
"Damn, how can it be so powerful!"
Ning Qi cursed, then suddenly turned his attention to what was in front of him.
"call!"
The next moment, a black, blazing light surged toward him.
The next moment, it directly merged into his sea of consciousness.
"Ha ha!"
"Kid, let me have your hand!"
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Ning Qi snapped out of his daze upon hearing it.
Focus your attention on what's ahead.
A gray shadow appeared in his mind.
This was none other than the original flame's fire spirit.
After he appeared, he began to laugh heartily, looking as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
"Oh, how did you manage to get your hands on me?"
Ning Qi just looked at him with a mocking expression on his face.
"I deliberately feigned weakness so that your people would think I had been refined."
"But I didn't give in at all!"
"I've been waiting for you to come, so I can find an opportunity to retaliate!"
"Now that you're here, you're even trying to refine me!"
"Then, it's time for me to take my revenge!"
Fire Spirit grinned wildly, then said, "From now on, this body of yours is mine!"
"Next, I'm going to pick your fruit."
"Now, both Yao Ling and Shi Xiaokun are tied up, and you're out of options!"
After saying his piece, he walked confidently toward Ning Qi.
Those eyes were filled with a longing for victory.
As he saw that he was about to succeed, he became increasingly complacent and overconfident.
"Oh, so you forgot that I still have Suzaku!"
Ning Qi looked at him and said with a smile.
"Hmph, I was already on guard. Even if you let her out, she'll just be my meal!"
Huo Ling said nonchalantly, his eyes full of mockery.
Then, he went straight to Ning Qi.
"Come!"
Ning Qi simply smiled faintly, then waved his hand.
"coming!"
The Vermilion Bird appeared directly.
Not only her, but also the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise behind her.
After the three divine beasts appeared, they protected Ning Qi.
He stared coldly at the fire spirit before him.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
No one expected Ning Qi to pull something like this.
There are so many mythical beasts around me.
"This...how is this possible? It must be fake!"
"You're just bluffing!"
Fire Spirit came to its senses and began to retreat.
"Let's attack together and eliminate this menace!"
Qinglong was the first to step forward and said coldly.
"Hmph, you think you can take me on!"
Fire Spirit said dismissively.
"Me too!"
Xuanwu suddenly appeared and said coldly, "And her too!"
"on!"
Without saying a word, Zhuque charged straight at Huo Ling.
They seemed determined to devour him alive.
The two of them didn't have much of a grudge against Fire Spirit.
But Zhuque is different.
The Fire Spirit had even impersonated her, which had long made her resentful.
"Shh!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Fire Spirit immediately retreated rapidly.
However, the three of them didn't give him a chance to leave.
After he retreated, they joined forces and began to chase after him.
The Azure Dragon was the fastest, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived at the Fire Spirit's side.
He stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed at the fire spirit's chest.
"Don't think about it!"
Fire Spirit snorted coldly, then retreated directly.
They barely avoided the Azure Dragon's claw.
"puff!"
However, the next moment, Suzaku's attack landed on the Fire Spirit.
After a loud bang, the fire spirit was sent flying.
They headed back towards the inferno from a great distance.
"Haha, you two idiots, see you later!"
Fire Spirit laughed loudly and prepared to escape.
He can escape wherever there is fire.
What's more, there's a sea of fire here.
He left immediately after saying just one sentence.
"Did I let you go?"
It was at this moment that a figure appeared in front of him.
It was Xuanwu, who hadn't made a move yet.
Fire Spirit's eyes widened after he appeared.
An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"How did you catch up with me?!"
Fire Spirit was waiting for him and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, why should I tell you?"
Xuanwu snorted coldly and stretched out his hands.
We're ready to subdue the Fire Spirit.
"Hmph, don't be so smug!"
Fire Spirit snorted coldly and then retreated to the other side.
We're about to leave this place.
"I am coming!"
Qinglong let out a loud shout.
It suddenly rushed over, its massive body blocking his retreat.
"Hmph, he can't escape. Leave him to me!"
Suzaku also rushed over.
After a low growl, he took a crimson whip in his hand.
It lashed out fiercely at the fire spirit in front of it. (End of Chapter)
