Chapter 306 My friend, your god looks a bit sloppy
"Oh my gown! This is made of thousand-year-old ice silk mixed with heart-fire copper. It's impervious to water and fire. How can the fire in this damn place be so poisonous? The spiritual energy consumed is making my heart bleed. Your Highness, I have to pay more for this errand. I absolutely have to pay more."
Taoist Tian Yan dodged while looking at his priceless Bagua Taoist robe with heartache, muttering to himself.
"Amitabha."
Master Jingxin did not dodge or evade the enemy who was wielding a huge hammer. He extended the Buddhist beads in his hand forward and chanted the Buddha's name softly.
A faint golden Buddha light emanated from his body, forming a translucent shield. The hammer, powerful enough to split stone and crack stone, struck the shield with a dull thud before being deflected by a gentle force.
"Donor, please put down your butcher knife and turn back." Master Jingxin tried to persuade with a compassionate look on his face.
The Fire Forging Clan warrior was stunned for a moment, then raised his hammer even more violently, smashing it against the golden shield again and again.
Ajiu stood behind Xiao Yu, his eyes fixed on the sacred fire of the Fire Forging Clan's sacrifice.
It was a huge golden flame suspended above the altar.
Every time the Fire Forge warriors attack, the flame-shaped tattoos on their bodies will flash.
But what Ajiu saw in his eyes was completely different, a horrifying scene.
The beautiful golden flame was just a disguise. Inside the shell, the real core was an irregular crystal the size of a human head and completely black.
The crystal was beating rhythmically like a heart, and with each beat it frantically drew energy from the surrounding space, from the earth veins below, and from the fighting members of the Fire Forge Clan.
Countless energy threads invisible to the naked eye connected to the black crystal from all directions.
It is like a giant spider entwined on the earth veins, and the devout people of the Forge Fire are the prey in its spider web, willingly providing it with nutrients.
It was exactly the same aura that was leaked from the Netherworld rift as seen on the observatory.
"Brother Xiong Xiong."
"That fire is fake."
Xiao Yu, who was fighting with more than a dozen magma fire snakes, paused slightly when he heard this. He snapped his fingers and several sharp black sword energies burst out, instantly chopping the fire snakes into pieces.
He asked in a deep voice, "Ajiu, what did you see?"
"There's a black evil thing hiding inside the fire."
"It's the one we see when we look at the stars in the sky. It's pretending to be a god eating. What it eats is the fire here and the...light of these people."
Xiao Yu's eyes instantly turned extremely cold.
"Everyone come closer to me." Xiao Yu said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuanyi and others immediately forced their opponents to retreat and quickly gathered in the direction of Xiao Yu.
The chief of the Fire Forging Clan saw that Xiao Yu was distracted and thought that this was an opportunity. He roared and raised the obsidian scepter in his hand high. The fire elements in the entire underground space began to gather towards him frantically.
"Blasphemer, accept the judgment of divine fire."
"Earth Core Molten Flow."
A torrent that was ten times thicker than the previous one swept towards Xiao Yu and others like a flood that broke through a dam.
"Damn, do you have to make such a big deal out of it?" Chu Xuanyi screamed and subconsciously set up a defensive formation.
Xiao Yu looked at the lava torrent coldly.
"A trifle."
He slowly raised his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and the moisture in the air condensed into billions of ice crystals in an instant.
The magma torrent that was powerful enough to melt gold and fossils seemed to hit an invisible wall the moment it came into contact with the cold air.
Its forward speed began to slow down and then slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The crimson light on the surface of the magma quickly faded and turned into a dull gray-black color.
“Crack…Crack…”
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the mighty lava dragon was completely frozen inch by inch from its head into a lifelike black ice sculpture.
"This... this is impossible." The Fire Forging Clan leader's face showed a look of fear. "How could the power of the divine fire... be frozen?"
Xiao Yu ignored his shock and glanced at the people who had gathered around him.
"Xuan Yi, Tian Yan, set up a formation to isolate this place and prevent any power fluctuations from spreading out."
"Akabane, Jingxin, protect Jiu."
"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison.
After arranging everything, Xiao Yu disappeared from the spot.
The next second, he appeared in front of the Fire Forging Clan leader like a ghost, grabbed his throat with one hand, and lifted his body off the ground.
"Now, we can quietly look at what that thing you are worshipping is."
The leader of the Fire Forging Clan, who was held in the air by Xiao Yu with one hand, felt the chill coming from the other's palm, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Devil...you are a devil."
"Compared to the thing you worship, this king is far inferior." Xiao Yu's tone was calm. He stared at the other party coldly, "Now, watch quietly and don't blink."
"Let go of the patriarch."
"Kill him and avenge the Divine Fire."
After a brief moment of shock, the surrounding Fire Forging Clan warriors finally reacted.
They roared in anger, and the crimson flame tattoos on their bodies glowed brightly, each ready to launch a desperate charge.
"Tsk, they're still coming," Chu Xuanyi held his forehead with a headache, "Why don't these musclemen listen to me? They have to cry only when they see the coffin. No, they can't even see the coffin and just turn to ashes."
As he complained, he exchanged glances with Taoist Tian Yan.
"Old Taoist, get to work. The prince said to isolate this place."
"Alas, my mana is being consumed again." Taoist Tian Yan took out seven or eight formation flags from his arms with a painful look on his face, muttering to himself, "Master Chu, we've already agreed that these formation flags are consumables. They need to be re-refined after each use. This fee should be included in the remuneration."
Despite this, his movements were not slow. With a flick of his wrist, the formation flags transformed into streams of light, accurately inserting themselves into various nodes in the space.
"The net of heaven and earth, the four symbols locking the soul, rise."
With a low shout from him, a translucent light curtain instantly rose up, covering the entire battlefield like an inverted giant bowl.
"Amitabha."
Master Jingxin had stood in front of Xiao Yu without him noticing when. He placed one hand on his chest and gently waved the other hand.
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore."
A circle of soft golden ripples spread out with him as the center. All the Fire Forging Clan warriors touched by the ripples felt that their violent fighting spirit was extinguished in an instant, and their pace slowed down involuntarily.
"Master, persuasion alone is useless." Akabane's figure moved among the warriors like a ghost, precisely striking their weak joints with the flat of his dagger, temporarily disabling them. "We need to calm them down first, physically."
