Back then, when Ji Dong asked his companions to dig this cave, he had the foresight to do so. After all, they had to face the powerful Dark Death Guards and Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts. Since they were lying in ambush in this cave, they had to have space to maneuver. Hence, Mao Miao and Lang Tianyi used the power of the Staff of Earth Goddess and the Pearl of Thick Earth to dig a tunnel deep into the cave. According to Ji Dong's original plan, they would launch a sneak attack on their opponents before Lang Tianyi and Mao Miao worked together to activate the power of the two earth-type divine artifacts to help their partners sink into the mountain. If the tunnel was long enough, they would have a few seconds to complete this. They would then teleport underground. With the existence of the two earth-type divine artifacts, they would be able to teleport hundreds of meters underground, and it would not be a problem for them to retreat successfully. Because of this, Ji Dong temporarily gave Chen Sixuan the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon's Core of Life so that the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon could enter the cave in the shortest time possible and allow everyone to sink underground faster.
However, in reality, Ji Dong had overestimated the courage of the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts. After the Dark Vermilion Bird and the fire-type Dark Death Guards were killed, the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts were shocked and immediately sealed the tunnel. This meant that the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Disciples did not need to sink underground at all, and they could directly teleport away from the battlefield.
At this moment, the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts were slowly approaching the cave carefully. They were constantly sensing if there was any mana in the cave. It was no wonder that they would do that. Before the Ice God's Spear was launched, it had been concealed by Light Heavenly Secret's soul power. They only discovered it the moment it appeared, which resulted in the Dark Vermilion Bird being killed instantly. Now, they naturally had to be even more careful, lest the situation from before happen again.
Ji Dong quietly stayed where he was. At this moment, although there had been an opening where he was, the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts had sealed the opening when they changed the stone wall. Hence, it was impossible for them to discover his existence visually. He had to wait for an opportunity now. As long as the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts went deeper and further, he would be able to take action. In order to hunt him down and find the enemy who killed the two Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts, the remaining eight divine beasts did not have time to deal with the Dark Vermilion Bird's corpse. As for the fire-type Dark Death Guard, the other Death Guards simply did not care about it. Because the Darkness Death Guard's head had been shattered, its Darkness Crystal Crown had been knocked away and landed not far from the entrance of the cave. The Dark Death Guard's crystal core was clearly still in its body.
Gradually, the Dark Death Guard followed the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beast deeper and deeper into the cave. Due to the absence of the Dark Vermillion Bird's illumination, the other Darkness Totem Divine Beasts didn't dare to release too much of their magic power. As far as they were concerned, a large part of the reason why the Vermillion Bird had died was because the flames on its body were too striking. They didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
As a faint light flickered, Ji Dong revealed an ice-cold expression. At this moment, the Dark Death Guard, which was at the back of the group, was already about a hundred meters away from him. Ji Dong knew that the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts would only need to advance another hundred meters to find the bottom of the cave. At that time, they would definitely feel that something was amiss, and Ji Dong's opportunity would be in the process of advancing a hundred meters.
Ji Dong carefully released his Saint realm Soul Force, penetrating the part of the wall in front of him that was sealed. This way, those dark death guards and dark heavenly stem divine beasts wouldn't be able to sense the changes of this wall. Although these Dark Death Guards and Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts were strong, they did not have a true Sage. At this moment, they did not feel anything under the full release of Ji Dong.
The Ultimate Yin Flame was quietly released, and the stone wall in front of him melted like water. Ji Dong's body floated out without any hesitation. The Vermillion Bird Bracelet on his wrist flashed with a golden-red radiance, and the Dark Vermillion Bird's corpse was stored inside. Immediately afterward, Ji Dong accelerated with all his might and rushed to the entrance of the cave with a Flying Serpent Flash. He turned around and threw a Demon Skill Wine containing the ultimate killing technique into the cave. He then picked up the Third Fire Dark Death Guard's Crystal Crown on the ground and rushed out like lightning.
"Boom —" A violent explosion resounded throughout the valley. When Ji Dong used the Vermillion Bird Bracelet to hit the Dark Vermillion Bird, the Dark Death Guards had already discovered his traces. However, what greeted them were nine Ultimate Yang Flame Dragons. In such a narrow space, even if these Dark Death Guards were extremely strong, they would not be able to break through the obstruction of these nine Flame Dragons in an instant. By the time they rushed out, Ji Dong was long gone, not even a shadow was left.
If these Dark Death Guards were alive, they would be so angry that their noses would become crooked. The enemy was right next to them, but they did not sense it at all. This was definitely a great humiliation. Unfortunately, these Dark Death Guards only had instincts and did not have the ability to think. Their emotions would not change, and this was also their most terrifying aspect. After the remaining nine Dark Death Guards rushed out of the obstruction of the Flame Dragon Nine Revolutions, they immediately scattered in the air to search for traces of Ji Dong.
The Dark Death Guards had no emotions, but the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts did! Due to their anger, the eyes of these Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts were extremely cold. However, they still did not understand. Why was there only one enemy, but such a powerful ultimate killing technique was blasted out from the cave? A supreme ultimate killing technique was not an ordinary technique. Even a Saint-tier powerhouse would need a certain amount of time to condense mana to use it. It was not something that could be released as and when one wanted to. At that time, they rushed in the instant that Ji Dong entered the cave, so he did not have the chance to use his powerful technique at all. It was also because of this that the Light of Light and the Saints killed the Third Fire-type Dark Death Guards and Dark Vermilion Bird in an instant. At this moment, they could not even keep the corpse of the Dark Vermilion Bird. How could these Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts not be angry? In an instant, after the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts got out of the cave, they also spread out like the Dark Death Guards. However, they were not as calm as the Dark Death Guards. Large-scale magic skills were continuously spread out from the sky and scattered into the valley. It was like a carpet bombing in an attempt to force Ji Dong out.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for them to succeed. As soon as they got out of the cave, Ji Dong had already activated the Teleportation Portal. The omnidirectional positioning Teleportation Portal that they set up was very close to where they were. It was just at the periphery of the mountain range. It only took a few seconds for the teleportation process to be completed. Even if these Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts blew up the entire valley, they would not be able to find Ji Dong.
With a flash of light, Ji Dong had already appeared beside his partners. According to his previous instructions, the Saints were all sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment. They were connected to each other through their arms and relied on the Five Elements Coexistence Circle Formation to recover mana. Light of Light and the Saints used this method when they were training together. It was extremely beneficial for the improvement of mana.
Sensing that Ji Dong had returned safely, the Saints of Light were relieved, and they began to recover their mana with all their might. The battle was not over yet. Ji Dong had attracted the Dark Death Guards for so long previously and exhausted their mana. Obviously, he was not going to retreat after a single attack. The sneak attack from before could only be used once, and those Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts were not fools. They would definitely not fall for it again. If they really wanted to defeat their opponents, they would still have to fight head-on. Ji Dong had already weakened the strength of the Dark Heavenly Stem Saints as much as possible in order to obtain victory in the battle that would decide the outcome of the battle.
Hence, after Ji Dong appeared, he did not stop at all. In fact, his mana consumption was even greater than that of his partners who had used top-notch ultimate skills. The Saints had used the Five Elements Coexistence Circle Formation to use top-notch ultimate skills, and each of them had only used about 30% of their mana. At this moment, they were recovering at a high speed. On the other hand, Ji Dong had even mobilized the mana in the Life Preservation Array. At that time, he had to maintain a certain level of mana in his body in order to maintain his high speed.
With a loud bang, the corpse of the Dark Vermillion Bird was thrown out of the Vermillion Bird Bracelet by Ji Dong. Speaking of which, using the Light Vermillion Bird's Storage Tool to store the corpse of the Dark Vermillion Bird was a bit strange. Without any hesitation, the Fire Divine Sword appeared out of nowhere. Ji Dong's eyes flickered as the Fire Divine Sword pierced towards the corpse of the Dark Vermillion Bird.
This Dark Vermillion Bird was a lot smaller than the Dark Azure Dragon, but it was still a lot bigger than Little Flame. As Ji Dong took out the corpse of the Dark Vermillion Bird, Little Flame actually came out of Ji Dong's Vermillion Bird Bracelet on its own. It spread its wings and landed on the side, eagerly looking at the corpse of the Dark Vermillion Bird.
Ji Dong couldn't help being stunned when he saw Little Flame's appearance. His heart moved and he took out the Dark Death Guard's Crystal Crown.
The Dark Vermillion Bird's corpse had been frozen by the mana of the Ice God Spear, but it didn't have the support of the 9th element's mana, so the mana had already dissipated. Ji Dong's Fire Divine Sword was so sharp that it directly stabbed into the corpse of the Dark Vermillion Bird and started absorbing its essence. As for the Dark Vermillion Bird's Crystal Crown, Ji Dong didn't absorb it himself. Instead, he directly smashed it into the blade of the Fire Divine Sword. Although he knew that doing so was a bit wasteful and wouldn't allow him to absorb the mana within the Crystal Crown to the greatest extent, he still couldn't care less. This was the only way he could finish the evolution of the Fire Divine Sword as soon as possible.
At the same time, Ji Dong took a step forward and slapped the Dark Vermillion Bird's head with a Deity Strike. With a muffled bang, the Dark Vermillion Bird's head that had lost the protection of its mana shattered, and Ji Dong extracted the Crystal Core from within. The Fire Divine Sword was only a few percent away from completing its evolution, so there was no need to absorb another Crystal Core. Although Ji Dong believed that his mana might increase to nine Crystal Crowns after the Fire Divine Sword evolved with this Crystal Core, he couldn't bear to disappoint Little Flame's pitiful appearance. Moreover, he could faintly feel that the Dark Vermillion Bird's Crystal Core had an extraordinary meaning to Little Flame, the descendant of the Light Vermillion Bird.
Because of that, when Ji Dong had obtained the crystal core, he had thrown it to Huo'er without hesitation. However, he had warned it not to absorb it right away because there was a high possibility of a great battle soon after. Absorbing such a large amount of energy from the crystal crown was definitely not something that could be done in a short period of time. It had to wait until the battle was over before doing anything else.
The Crystal Crown of the Dark Fire Death Guard smashed onto the Fire Divine Sword's blade with a soft bang. Immediately after, a brilliant light burst forth and countless golden-red rays of light flowed into the Fire Divine Sword's blade like threads. In an instant, the Fire Divine Sword's light blazed brightly. As a dual fire element Holy Disciple, Ji Dong felt a wave of blazing mana permeate his body, causing his entire body to feel hot. The mana within the Fire Divine Sword seemed to boil and ignite in an instant. Originally, the Dark Vermillion Bird's corpse would need a period of time to be absorbed by the Fire Divine Sword. However, under the effect of the Dark Crystal Crown, it was instantly engulfed by the scarlet flames on the Fire Divine Sword and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A wave of blazing mana instantly flowed into Ji Dong's body, and Ji Dong felt as if all the meridians in his body had been cleansed. That feeling was indescribable and comfortable. All 36 million pores on his body seemed to have opened up and absorbed the mana in the air. At the same time, he could clearly feel that he and the Fire Divine Sword in his hand had finally become one. Their relationship was no longer that of a sword and a man, but that of a man and a sword as one.
At this moment, all the Holy Disciples opened their eyes. One reason was because of the changes on Ji Dong's side, and the other was because the rumbling in the mountains not far away had stopped. A powerful aura was already scanning towards them. It was obvious that the Dark Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts and Dark Death Guards had discovered the Fire Divine Sword's huge mana undulations.
If it was any other time, Ji Dong would definitely be overjoyed when the Fire Divine Sword showed such a strange phenomenon. This was clearly a sign that the Fire Divine Sword had completed its evolution! However, at this moment, he was not happy at all. That was because his body had completely lost the ability to move. The mana within the Fire Divine Sword swept over him, and the state of being one with the sword also put him in a mysterious state. His entire body seemed to be undergoing the baptism of the Fire Divine Sword, as if he was being imbued with wisdom.
Ji Dong knew that he had been careless. He did not expect the Fire Divine Sword to cause such a phenomenon when it completed its evolution. He could not be absent from the decisive battle with the Dark Death Guards, or they would definitely be wiped out. What should he do now? Ji Dong gritted his teeth and instantly gave up on the protection and control of his body with mana …
