Chapter 108: Situation in Chaos

  Time flies like an arrow, and soon Xu Hua had been in the Earthly Fire Veins for a year and a half. If this were to be said out loud, even the strongest of the Martial Emperors would be moved!

  Compared to a year and a half ago, the evil fire vein here has obviously weakened a lot. In this year and a half, Xu Hua can be said to have fully adapted to this evil fire vein, and now he no longer needs that jade skull bone.

  This "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record" is indeed a supreme divine art, allowing Xu Hua to fully adapt to the low-grade Di Sha fire in just one and a half years. More importantly, there was a cluster of flames quietly lying within Xu Hua's body, completely composed of Di Sha fire. This flame was the essence of Di Sha fire, absolutely stronger than the power of low-grade Di Sha fire.

  If Xu Hua were to suddenly release this cluster of flames during a battle with someone, it might be enough to severely injure a strong Martial Honored expert! However, unfortunately, although the power of these flames is great, there's too little of them. Even after absorbing the Earthly Fiery Devil for a year and a half, Xu Hua could only form this small cluster. Once he uses it up, it will be completely exhausted.

  It's worth mentioning that over the past year, Xu Hua has been constantly trying to absorb the cold air emitted by Xuan Ming You Lian. After countless explosions, he finally found that critical point and successfully condensed a crystal of cold air in his body, which was smaller than a grain of rice. Xu Hua called it Bing Jing (Ice Crystal).

  As the massive cold air in the Xuanming Youlian was absorbed by Xu Hua, the Xuanming Youlian did not wither, but instead became even more vibrant. After losing its cold air, the Xuanming Youlian immediately devoured even more of the earth's fire, and its growth rate increased several times over. Perhaps in just a few years, it will be fully matured, at which point it will truly be a heavenly treasure.

  Xu Hua suddenly sat cross-legged there, opened his eyes, and two electric lights flashed out, disappearing in this flame space.

  "Unfortunately, I still can't condense a single drop of true liquid." Xu Hua stood up, let out a soft sigh, and looked very helpless.

  At this time, the true energy in his body had condensed to an extreme point, almost becoming a viscous state. In the dantian within his body, there were even 64 drops of true liquid! Those were 64 drops of true liquid! Many late-stage martial artists' true liquids didn't even reach this level!

  Unfortunately, Xu Hua, who had refined sixty-four drops of true liquid, still couldn't break through the Heavenly Gate! The Heavenly Gate in his body was too solid, surpassing many divine artifacts. Originally, Xu Hua's cultivation of "Devouring Life Technique" and "Body Refining Secret" had already made his Heavenly Gate quite solid, and afterwards he spent a year and a half being roasted in the Earthly Fire, almost refining himself into a spiritual artifact.

  Up to now, Xu Hua's physical body has fully adapted to the environment of the Earth Fire, so his Tian Di Xuan Guan will not become more solid. However, at this time, condensing the True Liquid is becoming increasingly difficult! If Xu Hua were currently in the Wu Wang realm, condensing some True Liquid wouldn't be too hard, but the key is that he's now only a Wu Shi, and condensing 64 drops of True Liquid is already an extraordinary feat. From now on, condensing even one more drop will be extremely difficult.

  In fact, Xu Hua didn't care about what realm he was in, as his strength was constantly increasing. However, if he couldn't break through the Tian Di Xuan Guan, he wouldn't be able to fly, and Xu Hua would have no way of leaving this place's Earthly Fire Vein, which was what Xu Hua cared most about.

  Xu Hua glanced around and found that the earth fire was getting less, but it seemed to be more violent. He slightly furrowed his brow and walked to the center of this earth fire vein.

  On the ground, there was a large hole, from which a large amount of yellow earth fire spewed out and quickly dispersed in all directions. This is the source of the earth fire vein here, if it weren't for the existence of this fire source, the earth fire here would have gone out long ago.

  Xu Hua looked at the fire source and said with a serious tone: "Recently, this fire source has been erupting more and more fiercely. It won't be long before it comes to a big explosion! I just don't know what this place will become by then."

  The unknown always makes people feel more dangerous, and Xu Hua doesn't know what this place will become in the future, so he just hopes to leave this place as soon as possible!

  As he looked on, Xu Hua's eyes became somewhat dazed, as if he had thought of Luo Cheng, Luo Wei, Zhou Ying, his father, elder sister, second brother, and those people who had interacted with him.

  "Ugh... I don't know when I can leave this damn place! They probably all think I'm dead already!"

  After finishing speaking, it returned to calm here, only hearing the sound of the earth cracking fire burning and the sound of the earth cracking fire spewing out from the source.

  Outside, many major wars have taken place this year. First of all, the alliance between the states of Song and Zhao fought against the Great Yan. Since the Battle of Qingping Lake, the two states of Song and Zhao have formally become enemies with the Great Yan, starting a national war!

  This year, the allied forces of Song and Zhao fought against the Yan army on the Black Earth Plain. Both sides suffered countless casualties, even the strong martial artists began to die one after another. Originally, the strength of Great Yan far surpassed that of Song and Zhao. If Great Yan had sent a few late-stage Martial Sacred Realm experts to lead their armies in an attack on the two countries, perhaps Song and Zhao would have already been destroyed.

  The Great Yan State was strong, but not the strongest. Its surroundings were even more threatened by the Qin State. The Yan State did not dare to make a big move, and it was taken advantage of by the Qin State, which is why the states of Zhao and Zhongshan had a glimmer of hope.

  The second thing is that the Luocheng Wuding clan officially went to war with the Chen, Niu and Mingyang clans. Not many people know why it was so sudden, but now both sides are irreconcilable. Countless large and small forces in Luocheng were forced to participate in the battle between the two sides, and many forces outside of Luocheng also joined in.

  Iron Mountain, Jiuzhaigou!

  After a year of development, Jiuzhaigou has become the real "king of the mountain" in Mount Emei, excluding Heifengzhai and Baigu Cave which are hidden from view.

  After the Twelve League invested in Heifengzhai, Jiuzhaigou took over the site of the Twelve League. At this time, Jiuzhaigou's site occupied nearly one-third of Lao Tie Mountain, which was not inferior to Baigu and Heifengzhai.

  During this period, many new powerful martial kings emerged in Jiuzhaigou. No one knew why Jiuzhaigou suddenly had so many resources, causing many warriors who were stuck in the late stages of martial arts to become martial kings.

  Now in Jiuzhaigou, apart from He Tao and Lu Zhen, two late-stage Wu Wangs, there are thirty Wu Wangs, of which two are mid-term Wu Wangs, and the rest are all early-stage Wu Wangs. With so many powerful Wu Wangs, Jiuzhaigou is indeed becoming a mighty force.

  A figure suddenly jumped out of the Jiuzhaigou forbidden land water pool.

  "Who?" Blood One's eyes snapped open and he growled.

  A figure in black appeared before everyone's eyes.

  "Two Leaders!" For a moment, everyone in the Blood God Palace slightly lowered their heads and said respectfully.

  Luoyue swept his gaze over the twelve people in front of him, as for those new recruits, they had long been sent to the Taihang Mountains, only these twelve were left here.

  Looking at the twelve people in front of him, Luo felt a sense of solemnity as he sensed the unintentionally emitted killing aura from them. "Blood One, you've been killing too much recently. Take this time to calm your mind and cultivate! I don't want you to end up like Blood Two!"

  The twelve people all fell silent, although they were still the same twelve people, but they were no longer the original twelve. The previous Blood Two, due to his greed and recklessness, had absorbed countless people's true energy, and finally lost control of himself, transforming into a ruthless killing machine. He became unrecognizable, starting to slaughter his own kind, and was only killed after the remaining eleven paid the price of severe injuries. With Blood Two dead, they absorbed the strongest member from the remaining Blood Temple members and reformed the Blood God Guard.

  The twelve people who formed the Blood God Guard were the strongest in the entire Blood God Palace, and they were also specially created by Luo Cheng. They would be the sharpest sword in Luo Cheng's hand.

  "Understood, I was wrong!" Zheng said solemnly after a moment of silence.

  He nodded, having also cultivated the "Killing Devil Classics", knowing its wonders and shortcomings. "Although you have already passed the Thunder Tribulation to become Martial Emperors, you must not relax your cultivation of the physical body either. This 'Killing Devil Classics' is indeed wonderful, but it's not omnipotent. When cultivating to the later stages, the Thunder Tribulation faced will be far more powerful than ordinary people. The stronger your strength becomes, the higher the chances of passing the tribulation in the future."

  "What brings the two leaders to come this time?" Lu E had only been here twice in a year, of course, and the entire Jiuzhaigou members who knew about it were only He Tao and Lu Zhen.

  "Chen Tanggu's old man is dead! The sky of Luo City is going to change! This time I came to arrange your evacuation." Lu Rou's expression was filled with desolation, although he had become a strong warrior in the early stage of Wu Huang, and his overall strength had reached the middle stage of Wu Huang, but in the battle against Wuding Clan, he could only hide behind. Among these people, only Liu Yidao and Luo Cheng had the opportunity to fight against Wuding Clan's Wu Zun strongman.

  Ten months ago, Bai Qiutang, Luo Ou, Luo Cheng, Liu Yidao, Banyue Zong, and Feng Jia had already joined forces with the Luocheng Niu clan, Chen clan, and Mingyang Zong to oppose the Wuding clan. It wasn't until after they truly joined this alliance that Luo Ou came to understand the strength of the Wuding clan. He also learned that aside from the three major families, there was another main force, which was Chengtang Valley. And he knew that Chengtang Valley had a martial arts master who even the Wuding clan feared.

  However, just a month ago, Wudang Clan launched a surprise attack on Chengtang Valley. When the strong members of the anti-Wudang alliance arrived at Chengtang Valley, the number one strongman of Chengtang Valley, Chi Tian Xing, was already dead! The people from Wudang Clan had also left, leaving the arriving strongmen filled with anger and hatred. Chi Tian Xing was indeed formidable, but he was already nearing his limit and was killed by the combined efforts of four Martial Sages from Wudang Clan! In this battle, Wudang Clan revealed its powerful foundation, suddenly producing six Martial Sage-level strongmen. Fortunately, those four were heavily injured by Chi Tian Xing's self-detonation before his death. Their combat strength plummeted in a short period of time, making it impossible for them to attack other forces.

  "Two leaders, what are we going to do!" Xueyi also understood the severity of this matter!

  "If Wu Ding's army arrives, you will immediately withdraw. Although we want to kill Wu Ding, we also want to preserve our own lives. With our potential, it won't take a few years to completely surpass Wu Ding, and by then killing him will be easy!" Luo Yu said, adding: "Tell He Tao and Lu Zhen that I have other matters."

  Luoye left again, coming so hastily and leaving in such a hurry.
