Moreover, all these artistic conceptions are of the flame type. In other words, once Aruba raises his perception of these artistic conceptions to perfection, integration will be a very easy thing.
"After the fusion, it is at least an S-level flame state of mind..." Xu Feng looked at Aruba, who was over a hundred meters tall, and thought to himself, "He is indeed worthy of being a transcendent. With his current strength, even without this withered bone sword, he will probably be able to escape with his own strength in a few years!"
"What do you want!" One of Aruba's eyeballs is bigger than Xu Feng. When Xu Feng came to the Dead Man's Valley, Aruba easily used mental illusion to lead Xu Feng to this cave, but now, Aruba no longer has such ability.
It’s not that Aruba has become weaker, but Xu Feng’s strength has increased hundreds of times. He is no longer the weak low-level apostle.
"Aruba, you have been imprisoned here for hundreds of years, don't you want to escape early?" Xu Feng said with a smile: "Compared with freedom, what treasure is there that you can't give up?"
"I still don't know what you can give me, how should I choose?" Xu Feng looked at Aruba with interest.
"You also said that I have been imprisoned here for hundreds of years, penniless and without any treasure..." Aruba said in a deep voice, his breath was much restrained. He felt a threat from Xu Feng. Although he couldn't believe it, Aruba believed in this intuition more than his eyes and experience!
"It's only been a few years, and the other party has grown to this point..." Thinking of this, Aruba's desire for freedom became even more intense.
"I can change your body and give you a body of fire that can turn it into energy!" Aruba pondered for a long time, then slowly said, "Or I can open up a secondary attribute called 'Faith' for you. Finally, I can teach you an S-level skill I have, 'Lava Breakthrough Technique'!"
"You should be an apostle!" Aruba stared at Xu Feng and asked, "If I were you, I would definitely choose the last option. As long as you can practice the "Lava Breakthrough Technique" to perfection, you will no longer need to advance through the secret realm to gain promotion in the future!"
"Really?" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
This technique was created specifically for the Apostles of the Secret Realm. It was not very meaningful to Xu Feng now, but for the entire Chinese Apostle World, the value of this technique far exceeded that of an ordinary S-level technique! For Aruba, he also hoped that Xu Feng would choose the third option. After all, whether it was to transform Xu Feng's body and give him a flame body that could be energized, or to open the secondary attribute "faith" for him, it would consume Aruba's source power. For Aruba, who was about to escape, a lot of source power was needed to restore his body. If he consumed too much for Xu Feng here, it would affect his recovery effect.
Xu Feng pondered for a moment. Obtaining the "Lava Breakthrough Technique" would not only increase the number of high-level apostles in the entire Chinese country, but also increase Xu Feng's calamity power by one level. Among the three options, it was the most valuable option for Xu Feng.
However, Xu Feng was not satisfied. In his previous life, Xu Feng had heard a legend that Aruba had the blood of a fire giant flowing in his body. The fire giants were not born with such a tall stature. They had a special talent of building a holy body in advance and fusing the holy body.
Every fire giant who passes the test will build a holy body for himself in advance and merge with it. During the entire growth process, as the fire giant's strength and cultivation level increase, the built and fused holy body will become stronger and stronger.
For other apostles, the prerequisite for creating the Holy Body is to become a transcendent. Only after becoming a transcendent can they perfectly integrate the Holy Body with their own body.
There is no way to further improve the holy body after fusion. No matter how powerful and effective it is, it will solidify the moment it merges into the body. It is far inferior to the talent of the Fire Giants!
It's a pity that the talent of the Fire Giants has been coveted by many transcendents. It is also because of this that the Fire Giant clan was exterminated long ago. Aruba is probably the only Fire Giant in the world.
"Aruba, I want to know the secret method of your Flame Clan to fuse the holy body in advance!" Xu Feng said directly.
"Impossible!" Aruba's face suddenly became ferocious, his burly body twisted constantly, a terrifying flame mood emerged, heat waves rolled, the air became distorted, and the magma below began to boil violently. In an instant, the temperature in the cave reached thousands of degrees! Xu Feng looked at Aruba expressionlessly, and took back the bone sword. He did not show any fear on his face for the temperature that was about to burn the air.
"Aruba, are you rejecting me?" Xu Feng asked calmly.
Xu Feng's words were like a gust of cold wind blowing through Aruba's heart. At this moment, Aruba suddenly realized that Xu Feng was no longer the low-level apostle who could be manipulated by him at will. In his current state, it would not be too difficult for Xu Feng to kill him.
"Even without you, I won't be trapped here for several years..." Aruba suddenly calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"Haha, if you reject me, you may not even survive today!" Xu Feng laughed, and the SSS-level artistic conception, the Ice Age, was unleashed. In an instant, the entire cave turned into a world of ice and snow. The temperature in the cave instantly dropped from thousands of degrees to more than two hundred degrees below zero, as if the whole world was frozen.
The boiling magma was frozen into hard ground. The cold air continued to erode, and thick ice began to spread upward from the soles of Aruba's feet...
Feet, ankles, knees, thighs...
The black icicles spread rapidly, and soon reached Aruba's chest! "You, what's this about..." Aruba showed a panic on his face and yelled, "Stop, stop!"
Xu Feng remained unmoved, quietly watching the icicles spread to Aruba's neck and continued to spread upwards! The SSS-level Ice Age state of mind was too terrifying. Even though Aruba had mastered multiple secret realms, he had no power to resist the Ice Age state of mind and was instantly crushed...
At this time, 90% of Aruba's body, which was over 100 meters long, was frozen by black ice. Soon, the ice climbed up Aruba's chin and cheeks...
"I, I promise you!" Aruba said with difficulty. He felt Xu Feng's killing intent. This was not a threat. If he really disagreed, the apostle in front of him would definitely kill him! The icicles stopped spreading and froze at this moment! "I think we can be friends!" Xu Feng smiled and snapped his fingers.
Crack~ A series of shattering sounds were heard, and the thick black ice covering Aruba shattered instantly. The surrounding ice and snow also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Ice Age mood disappeared, and Aruba's fire power regained the upper hand again; boom~ the hard earth melted into magma again, and the air began to be filled with a hot breath. The previous ice and snow seemed like a short-lived illusion! "I have another condition!" Aruba took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Xu Feng frowned slightly, and in an instant, the chill surged again! "This condition is related to what I promised you!" Aruba explained quickly: "If you want to fuse the holy body in advance, you must obtain the holy object of the Flame Giant lineage. Only the holy object can unlock that ability!"
Hearing Aruba's words, Xu Feng showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded, took out the Dry Bone Sword, and slashed at Aruba! Ding ding ding~ The chains that bound Aruba's body were easily cut off by the Dry Bone Sword. Every time a chain was cut off, the luster on the surface of the Dry Bone Sword dimmed a little. By the time all the chains on Aruba were cut off, the Dry Bone Sword in Xu Feng's hand had become garbage like rotten wood.
Rustle~ The dry bone sword turned into rust and scattered all over the ground.
Xu Feng sighed. For a necromancer, this withered bone sword could be said to be a top-grade holy weapon, priceless. If he didn't want to obtain the evolveable holy body, Xu Feng would be reluctant to destroy it!
"Free, I'm free, hahahaha!" Aruba felt an unprecedented sense of relief. The power that had been suppressed in his body for hundreds of years began to slowly awaken and boil. The state of mind he felt also began to slowly improve. In just a few breaths, the several kinds of flame state of mind that Aruba mastered actually all reached the state of great perfection! "The power is back!" Aruba took a deep breath, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the cave. A devastating breath filled every corner of the lava cave! The expanding power made Aruba's eyes become more oppressive, but when he looked at Xu Feng, Xu Feng still looked calm, which made Aruba's expanding momentum suddenly collapse! "Humph!"
The next moment, Aruba's huge body began to shrink rapidly, and in a short while, it turned into a burly man about two meters tall!
Xu Feng flew down and stood in front of Aruba, looking him up and down, and asked curiously: "Is this your true form? What was that just now..."
"That was the holy body of our Fire Giant clan!" Aruba said unhappily, "Only after you have merged with the holy body can you be qualified to call yourself a Fire Giant!"
After saying that, Aruba stretched out his hand and grabbed his chest. His five fingers were like hooks. Aruba's fingers slowly penetrated into his skin. Blood gushed out. Aruba looked like he wanted to dig out his heart, and a hideous look of pain appeared on his face.
Aruba let out a suppressed groan, and thrust his right hand into his chest. After a moment, he pulled out a diamond-shaped polyhedron crystal from the heart! After pulling out the crystal, Aruba gasped for air, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and the wound on his chest began to heal automatically. After a few breaths, there was no trace of injury! Boom~ The blood on Aruba's hand suddenly began to burn, and the diamond-shaped crystal taken out from the heart also began to emit a dazzling red-gold light, the light was swallowing and spitting, it looked like it was breathing.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Here you go, this is my promise!" Aruba handed the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand to Xu Feng, and said reluctantly: "Inside it are all the secrets of the Flame Clan to forge the Evolved Holy Body! You can collect the materials now!"
"Remember, you must successfully forge the Holy Body and integrate it into your body before you reach the level of a Transcendent. Otherwise, once you advance to the level of a Transcendent, the Evolved Holy Body will no longer be able to be integrated. At that time, you will only be able to forge an ordinary Holy Body again. Like everyone else, your power will always be fixed at the moment of integration!"
"You said before that you needed the sacred object of the Flame Clan?" Xu Feng took the diamond-shaped crystal and asked subconsciously.
"To fuse the holy body, one needs the holy object of the Flame Clan. Otherwise, how can an ordinary person's body possibly withstand the power of the holy body?" Aruba said in a deep voice, "That is a power that only transcendents are qualified to touch!"
Xu Feng nodded. Aruba was right. No matter what level of body-building technique one practiced, before becoming a transcendent, one would not be able to withstand the power stimulated by the Holy Body. One would only be torn to pieces by the Holy Body's enormous power and turned into dust!
"I understand. How do I use this?" Xu Feng asked while playing with the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand.
At the moment when the crystal was first taken over, the temperature of the crystal was at least a thousand degrees, but now it has dropped a lot, almost equivalent to the temperature of a piece of burning charcoal!
"Put it between your eyebrows and use your spiritual sense to absorb the information inside!" said Aruba.
Xu Feng nodded, but did not use it immediately. He put it into the space package.
"Okay, now can we talk about the holy object?" Xu Feng nodded and said, "You are imprisoned here because of the holy object, right? Oh, that's all right. Who imprisoned you? Could it be a transcendent person?"
Aruba's face suddenly turned gloomy.
“Bato…” Aruba growled, “Bato, the God of Death, is the real king of destruction! It was him that destroyed the Fire Giants and killed all my people! I want revenge on him!”
"It imprisoned you here for the sacred object of your Fire Clan?" Xu Feng asked.
"Yes, it is very powerful, at the peak of level nine, a domain-level expert, and only one step away from transcendence. It wants the sacred object of the Flame Clan, and relies on it to take that step!" Aruba panted and said, "If you want to use the power of the Flame Sacred Object to fuse and evolve the Holy Body, you must join forces with me to kill Barto together!"
"Death Barto?" Xu Feng frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard of this name in his previous life. It was an extremely powerful undead creature. It was said that it turned a ninth-level secret realm into a land of death where only undead creatures could survive. It was once an idol worshipped by many apostles with undead bloodline and professions.
However, its name only remained on the list of gods in the Tower of Babel for a short period of time before disappearing. Legend has it that it was killed completely, but what the truth was, Xu Feng at the time had no way of knowing.
"Three years!" Aruba stared at Xu Feng and said, "It will take me three years to recover from my injuries. After three years, my strength will be back to its peak!"
"This period of time is also the time for you to collect materials for forging the Holy Body. Three years later, I will challenge the God of Death Baator. If you don't show up, then forget about using the holy objects of the Flame Clan to fuse and evolve the Holy Body in advance!"
After saying that, with a "boom", Aruba's body turned into a flame and disappeared.
"Three years?" Xu Feng muttered to himself, staring at the place where Aruba disappeared.
