Every time the Deity Slaying Strike was upgraded, its attack power would be doubled. If he mastered the ninth level of the Deity Slaying Strike, then when he attacked his opponent, the power of the Deity Slaying Strike when it came into contact with his opponent's body would be doubled. That was the reason why Ji Dong felt that this skill was useless. Almost all of his magic skills had the same effect, not to mention the powerful sure-kill skills such as the Sun Awl, the Ice of Burning Flames, and the Sun, Moon, Yin Yang World.
These skills could instantly increase the explosive power of his magic power by several times. The Deity Slaying Strike only doubled, which was nothing. At most, it was on par with the standard skills such as the Devouring Sun and the Claw of the Dark Moon.
However, after Flaming Bar gave Ji Dong a simple analysis, he finally understood the true meaning of the Deity Slaying Strike. Although the conditions for practicing and executing the Deity Slaying Strike were extremely harsh, and the first level of the Deity Slaying Strike was nothing, the most important thing was that, according to the records of the Deity Slaying Strike, the consumption of magic power was very small, and it could be withdrawn as soon as it was released. If used properly, it could be mixed with any other skills. In other words, if he used other skills to attack his opponent, after the first part of the attack was completed, and Ji Dong's hand could touch his opponent's body, then the second part of the Deity Slaying Strike would burst forth with power.
It seemed that his magic power had only doubled under the amplification. However, Raging Flame's words reminded Ji Dong that the doubling of the amplification was not on the magic skills that Ji Dong had released, but on the explosive power of the magic power that had been injected into the opponent's body, bursting forth from the inside out.
Moreover, the power of the Deity Slaying Strike would continue to increase as it was upgraded. When it was upgraded to the third level, it would be equivalent to the power of a normal sure-kill skill. If it could be upgraded to the sixth level, it would be comparable to a super sure-kill skill. If a super sure-kill skill directly exploded in the opponent's body, who could withstand such an attack? Therefore, with the support of Flaming Bar, Ji Dong had already decided to start practicing this skill. With the understanding of the soul fire, his mental strength increased exponentially, and his strong control over magic power, Ji Dong could already complete the first level of the Deity Slaying Strike in a short period of time. However, if he wanted to cultivate to the second level, it would not be done overnight. The difficulty of practicing the Deity Slaying Strike was just like its effect, it was also compounded.
Seeing that Ji Dong was deep in thought, Flaming Bar said, "There is no hurry. You have just finished practicing for four years, it is time to relax."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Flaming Bar, the Eastern Wood Empire is famous for its tourism. We are going to the Middle Earth Empire to pay our respects to my parents. I looked at the map, and next, we will pass through the Forest of Life. I heard from Senior Brother Fury that there is a special tribe living in the Forest of Life in the Eastern Wood Empire. They are called Forest Demons, and they are a hybrid between humans and magical beasts. They have the appearance of humans, but have green skin. They only live in the Forest of Life in the Eastern Wood Empire. Senior Brother said that the Forest Demons brew a wine called the Source of Life, which is very good. Since we are going to pass through the Forest of Life, why not go and take a look?"
The Flaming Bar smiled and said, "Alright, let's go take a look. How far is the Forest of Life from here?"
Ji Dong took out the map from the Vermillion Bird Bracelet and looked at it, then said, "We're not far away, in another fifty li or so, we'll enter the Forest of Life. The Forest of Life is the third largest forest in the continent, it's also the forest with the most types of plants. What's strange is that there are very few magical beasts here, it's very suitable for all kinds of weak creatures to live in. Because of this, this forest is filled with surging vitality, it's very magical. However, I heard from my senior brother that the Forest Demon's Life Source Wine is extremely precious, a small bottle can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins, it's said that it has the effect of prolonging one's life. I don't have much money on me, but I have some crystal cores from the Holy Evil Battlefield, I want to see if I can exchange them for some."
The Flaming Bar said, "There's no need to force it, it's good to feel some life energy. Wood begets fire, in the forest, our fire attribute benefits is second only to the wood attribute. Walking in the forest is beneficial to our cultivation, especially this kind of forest full of vitality."
Ji Dong said in his heart, "As long as I can be with you, no matter where I go, I'm willing."
The Flaming Bar letting him hold hands was already a great surprise for Ji Dong, he didn't have too many expectations, he just wanted to see her every day, mix wine for her, and stroll with her. His heart was already satisfied. The silver chain tied around their waists was bought by Ji Dong at a high price, it was made of deep sea heavy silver, it was very strong. The Flaming Bar couldn't use any of its abilities in the human world, he used the silver chain to tie himself to the Flaming Bar, if there was any danger, he would be able to react at the first moment to protect the Flaming Bar. Of course, for the current Ji Dong, this was just a precautionary measure, with his current strength, even if he met a Seven Crown Heavenly Master Magician, he would still be able to put up a fight.
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground at the same time. On the wide official road, the bustling crowd also seemed to feel this tremor. They looked at each other blankly, not knowing what was going on.
The tremors gradually became more and more intense, it gradually turned into a loud roar, there was no doubt that a large group of people was approaching.
With the Flaming Bar around, Ji Dong became extra careful in everything he did, he quickly pulled the Flaming Bar to the side of the road, his body tilted slightly, blocking in front of her. These small actions were done naturally by Ji Dong, these small actions were done naturally by Ji Dong, the Flaming Bar stood behind him, even though Ji Dong's strength was worlds apart from hers, at this moment, looking at the broad shoulders in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of security and warmth in her heart.
'Is this the dependence of humans?' The Flaming Bar asked herself in her heart, looking at Ji Dong's increasingly tall figure, her eyes hidden behind the veil could not help but become a little dazed. Although Ji Dong had never done anything improper to her, every time she drank the wine he made and looked at his burning gaze, the Flaming Bar felt as if her heart was melting. The fine wine Ji Dong made seemed to have a strange magic, it was this magic that was subtly changing her originally disdainful heart.
Amidst the rumbling, they could see a cloud of dust rolling towards them from afar, quickly approaching them. Looking at the thick cloud of dust, Ji Dong could not help but frown slightly. He waved his right hand, a layer of faint golden light enveloped himself and the Flaming Bar.
The golden light was not strong, under the sunlight, if one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it. However, this golden light was condensed from the Cingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire, not to mention the flying dust, even if a sharp arrow came into contact with it, it would quickly melt.
Soon, the large group of people had already rushed over. With Ji Dong's sharp eyesight, he could clearly see that there were at least two thousand people in this group, all riding tall and strong horses. The hundreds of riders at the front were all Devil Masters, especially the few people at the front, their strength even surprised him.
These people were all wearing armor, and the Demon Masters were wearing all kinds of armor. Their clothes were not neat, and it was obvious that they were not part of the army. However, when the horses under them galloped, they were neat and uniform, and it was obvious that they had undergone strict training. Before the troops arrived, there was already a strong murderous aura coming from them. The only thing they had in common was that they all had an armband on their right arm. The armband shone with a golden light, and there was a golden eagle embroidered on it, spreading its wings and soaring. The other parts of the armband were all intersecting white and blue lines.
The momentum of two thousand war horses galloping was extremely shocking, in the blink of an eye, they had already roared past Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar, dust and smoke were scattered, bringing a yellow mist on both sides of the official road.
However, none of the passersby dared to complain, they didn't even dare to look up, until the group of more than two thousand people galloped past, only then did some people curse in a low voice.
After the dust and smoke dispersed, the pale golden light on Ji Dong's body also dissipated. After understanding the mysteries of the Flame of the Soul, his control over his fire magic could be said to be perfect, not a single speck of dust could enter the Yang Flame Shield.
With a doubtful look in his eyes, Ji Dong said, "I don't know who these people are, how dare they be so arrogant, there are as many as two thousand people, and there are more than a hundred Devil Masters. The number of Warriors is not much, but these hundred Devil Masters are equivalent to all the Devil Masters in a main city, and there seems to be a few of them with the strength of more than six Crowns. The Eastern Wood Empire is considered one of the weaker empires, but we can actually see such a big force on the official road."
The Flaming Bar didn't say anything, she hadn't been out in the outside world for many years, how could she possibly know something that even Ji Dong didn't know?
"The Golden Eagle Merchant Guild is getting more and more out of hand, relying on the protection of Prince Tian Lu, they don't even treat us commoners as human beings, running wildly on the official road with such great fanfare, what if someone dies?"
Just as Ji Dong was feeling doubtful, his sensitive hearing caught the complaint of a middle-aged man walking on the road not far away. Pulling the Flaming Bar along, Ji Dong walked up to him and said, "Hello uncle, I heard you mention something about the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild, what's going on?"
When the middle-aged man heard Ji Dong's question, a look of vigilance appeared on his face, "What Golden Eagle Merchant Guild, I didn't say anything, I still have to hurry." He said as he turned to leave.
With a flick of his wrist, a gold coin appeared in Ji Dong's palm, "Uncle, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to know what kind of people are so arrogant, daring to run so brazenly on the official road, and they don't even look like soldiers of the government."
Although money wasn't omnipotent, there were many times when it had an extremely good effect. The middle-aged man received the gold coin, and his expression immediately became much better. Looking around to make sure there weren't any passersby paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and said, "The Golden Eagle Merchant Guild is amazing! From the looks of it, you're not from our Eastwood Empire, right? In our Eastwood Empire, the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild is the largest Merchant Guild, and their backer is the current Emperor's younger brother, Prince Tianlu. Relying on Prince Tianlu's protection, they have done many outrageous things. They specialize in the business of the nobles, and they bully us commoners. This time, they've mobilized so many people, and it doesn't seem like they're protecting some goods, so it's definitely not something good. These bastards are even scarier than bandits, plundering by force, and there's no way to reason with them. This world may seem peaceful, but the lives of us commoners are getting harder and harder. "
Hearing the word nobles, Ji Dong subconsciously furrowed his brows. He could still clearly remember how Yun Tianji was persecuted by the nobles. If he hadn't met Ji Dong, he would have already turned into a pile of bones. It seemed that this phenomenon wasn't limited to just one country, but every empire.
After bidding farewell to the middle-aged man, Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar continued their journey. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the social phenomenon, Ji Dong had the Flaming Bar to keep him company, so he didn't think too much about it.
There was always an end to the road. After enjoying the tranquility of the Flaming Bar, they arrived in front of a vast forest after four hours. The official road bypassed the forest, and the greenery in front of them gave them a shocking feeling. It was an extremely vibrant green that was filled with surging vitality. Even before entering the forest, Ji Dong couldn't help but take in deep breaths of life. Just like what the Flaming Bar had said, Fire Element Magicians could also obtain great benefits in the forest.
However, Ji Dong's brows quickly furrowed. This was because he saw a large number of people tied to the trees at the periphery of the forest, and there were close to a hundred people watching over them. From the armbands of these people, it could be seen that they were from the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, the periphery of the forest was a mess, and the vegetation was heavily trampled. It was obvious that a large group of people had entered the forest. The Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce's target was the Forest of Life, so what were they doing in the forest?
Naturally, the Flaming Bar saw the doubt in Ji Dong's eyes. He smiled and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's take the official road." He had never been a person who was afraid of trouble. Even though the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce had many experts, they were nothing in his eyes. However, he had the Flaming Bar with him now. In order to protect the Flaming Bar, he would rather give up his curiosity.
The Flaming Bar held onto Ji Dong's hand and said, "Ji Dong, I don't want to see you lose your heart because of me. Even though I can't use my Mana, I'm not that weak. Since we're traveling, we'll naturally encounter all sorts of things. These are your experiences, let's go."
With that, the Flaming Bar held onto Ji Dong's hand and walked towards the Forest of Life.
At this moment, a discordant voice came from the side, "Stop, the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce is handling matters. Unrelated people, please leave." More than ten strong men wearing the armbands of the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce rushed over and blocked the path of Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar. Even though there were no Mana fluctuations coming from their bodies, they still looked fierce.
