Chapter 75 The Changing Battle Situation, Subterranean Beasts
"Clang—"
A gun and a spear clashed, creating a surging wave of air.
Amidst the surging flames, the two figures separated and retreated to either side.
Through this encounter, Perseus and the Fire Cloud Saint Lord gained a deeper understanding of each other... Perseus was full of confidence, but a hint of gloom appeared on the Fire Cloud Saint Lord's face.
He had clearly noticed Perseus's unusual behavior as well.
The opponent's strength is constantly increasing!
Thinking of the mysteriously missing Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet, and combining that with the Fire Crystal Core that had just disappeared, I realized...
"You have a clone."
"I have a clone." Perseus quickly stepped forward and thrust out with his spear again, exchanging blows with the Fire Cloud Saint Lord.
"But now that he has left, even if the Holy Lord wanted to chase after him, he probably wouldn't be able to."
Immediately, the Fire Cloud Saint Lord's expression turned extremely ugly.
As the owner of the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet, he had presided over the opening of the Flowing Fire Pool more than a hundred times. How could he not know what the effects of this treasure were?
Now it seems that this kid's clone is not simple either. Not only can it ignore the blockade of the Flowing Fire Pool and freely enter and exit, but it can also quickly comprehend the laws of fire with the help of the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet.
Damn it, where did this monster come from?
The Holy Lord of Fire Cloud continued to attack, trying to suppress Perseus, but as time went by, he became increasingly powerless and vaguely realized the outcome of this battle.
"I'll give you one more chance!"
The Fire Cloud Saint Lord said in a deep voice, "Return the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet, and I can govern the Fire Cloud Clan together with you. Otherwise, if this thing is exposed..."
"Are you threatening me?" Perseus narrowed his eyes.
"Of course, you can think that way too."
"The Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet can only reach its maximum effect when paired with Fire Cleansing Crystal Cores. With just the crystal cores you have..."
"roll!!!!!"
The towering giant soared through the air, its aura surging, each attack aimed at a desperate, all-out effort.
Feeling threatened, and comparing his own size to that of Perseus, the Fire Cloud Saint Lord's eyes blazed with fury.
Even immortals have their own pride!
It's already shameful enough that we can't even defeat a realm lord.
Since we can't recruit them...
The Fire Cloud Saint Lord unleashed a powerful strike, forcing Perseus back. Just as the two had managed to create some distance between them, a divine power crystal suddenly appeared in his hand.
The divine power crystal burst forth with dazzling light.
Wherever the light reached, the surrounding space distorted, forming a passage that revealed the Fiery Cloud Divine Kingdom behind it.
"If you can't win, just run away?"
"Truly, they don't even have the slightest bit of the demeanor of an immortal powerhouse."
Watching the Fire Cloud Saint Lord make a "strategic retreat," Perseus, who had just managed to steady himself, breathed a sigh of relief and remained suspended in mid-air.
Then, after the Fire Cloud Saint Lord left.
He also transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Pool of Flowing Fire, killing the three peak Realm Lord elders of the Fire Cloud Clan along the way.
Of course, it's not impossible to control.
Perseus had just used illusion magic to restrain one of them and threw out the Soul-Binding Wood Silk when he immediately regained his senses and chose to self-destruct.
The other two were the same.
Over the long years, they have honed their will to an immortal level. With such a level of will, Perseus's half-baked illusion magic would hardly have any effect.
same.
After he dealt with the three peak Realm Lords, the rest of the Realm Lords fled one after another. Even the slowest one had already entered the spaceship and started accelerating.
……
"You run pretty fast!"
Standing at the entrance to the Fiery Pool, Perseus turned and glanced at the Fiery Cloud Continent one last time.
He then returned to the original location of the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet on the ninth floor and continued to excavate the Fire Crystal Core, transmitting it to the Myriad Poisons clone on the other end to enhance his own understanding.
Time passed little by little.
As the flames surged, Perseus's aura continued to grow.
He eagerly comprehended all 36 essences of the Law of Fire, progressing from mastering 18 essences to mastering the 19th and 20th essences.
However, comprehending the laws becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.
As Perseus's understanding of the laws of fire deepened, the speed at which he consumed fire crystal cores also increased. He also sensed the changes above, and the candlelight snakes that had previously scattered around began to gather again.
However, these are all minor troubles.
With Perseus's strength, he faced these long worms with complete ease and composure, and in a few swift moves, he cleared the area around him.
He even took the time to collect several corpses.
As Perseus mined, he took out his instruments to examine the life gene level of the corpse.
A moment later, a line of numbers appeared on the display screen beside him.
"Life's genetic level: 20 times"
"20 times, that's not much different from the Flame Star Beast."
Perseus withdrew his gaze with some disappointment, and without hesitation, abandoned the idea of using the Candlefire Serpent as the main material for fusing the three-star stage bloodline.
The genetic level of life is too low!
It is difficult to nest similar bloodline puzzle pieces.
Even if he combines the bloodlines of multiple Candlefire Serpents, uses other genes to piece them together, and repairs them with various useless fragments, the new bloodlines he obtains will hardly be able to support a new round of bloodline fusion, and it will be difficult to even reach three-star level 7.
In this situation, it's best not to do anything unnecessary.
Perseus shook his head and continued to swing his spear. The surrounding rocks shattered, and the red crystal layer disappeared, turning into puzzle pieces that vanished into his mental sea.
at the same time.
Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Poisons clone was also immersed in the ocean of the laws of fire, conquering one essence after another, while deepening its understanding of the secret technique "Fire Dance Whirlwind".
This creates a positive cycle.
Once Perseus had fully mastered all 36 essences, his aura became more restrained.
Below, a visible red glow appeared at the fractured crystal layer, like a volcanic eruption, instantly shooting out an extremely terrifying pillar of fire.
Perseus was violently knocked away.
He coughed up blood, and the chaotic flames around him transformed wildly, yet he still kept flying backward, crashing into the melting rock layers, and somehow managed to fly all the way out of the range of the Flowing Fire Pool from the belly of the mountain.
If you look down from above the Pool of Flowing Fire, you will find that there is a large hole in the originally flat rock layer, which is comparable to the size of a normal planet.
The most crucial element is the sound.
At some point, Perseus heard a hissing sound in his ears, carrying an eerie, soul-penetrating vibration, emanating from the pillar of red fire.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the red glow below.
The gushing flames mixed with magma formed a 'fountain'.
Within that surging torrent, a terrifying creature was clearly rising slowly from the ground, its body diameter alone exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers.
Finally, the top rock layer completely broke apart.
"Boom!!!!"
A deafening explosion rang out, sending countless pieces of debris flying.
Amidst the endless flames, a giant "Candlefire Serpent" with a human face and a snake's body rose straight into the air as if it were sprouting from the ground, rushing towards Perseus at an unimaginable speed, its mouth emitting a ball of blazing flame that burned the void.
"boom--"
