Outside the void, the battle lasted for a whole day. The Firemane Monster Ancestor gradually felt tired, and the madness in his eyes faded a little. He was shocked to find that he had lost more than half of his Qi and blood.
He could still maintain his battle strength on the surface, and even become stronger with the support of his Divine Ability, but he had lost a lot of Qi and blood.
He was confused. Normally, with his abundant Qi and blood, he should be able to last for months. Now that he had lost so much Qi and blood, it could only mean that he had fallen into the enemy's trap.
He puffed up his chest, and the Essence Qi from Vermilion Mountain flowed into him again. His Qi and blood flowed rapidly, and with a rumbling sound, he replenished his Qi and blood.
However, he also became more cautious, and soon realized that as soon as his Qi and blood left his body, it would be silently absorbed by his opponent, unable to return to him. He was both shocked and enraged, and he let loose a furious roar. At the same time, he shook his shoulder, and the head on his left abruptly grew larger before biting down on the Demonic Projection.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed slightly when he saw him coming over, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he used his spirit to guide him and went with the flow. The upper half of the Demonic Form immediately turned into wisps of smoke and rushed into his throat.
Just as the Firemane Ghost Ancestor swallowed the smoke, his body felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if it was about to melt. Knowing that the situation was bad, he reached out with one hand and tore the head off. However, he was afraid that Zhang Yan would absorb the blood Qi, so he held it in his hand.
The smoke continued to enter his body, and it could be said to be all-pervasive. If this continued, it would not take long for it to occupy his entire body. Left with no choice, he chopped off the other half of his body. However, as soon as it separated from his body, it turned into countless wisps of blood Qi, and the black smoke immediately came out from within. In the blink of an eye, it was completely devoured.
The Firemane Monster Ancestor was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He shook his body, and the head that Just Now had grown back.
In order to prevent his Qi and blood from being absorbed again, he secretly used a "Ghost Perception" technique. At most, he could create three copies of himself. Although this would consume a lot of blood energy, it was still better than being absorbed by the other party.
After fighting for half a day, the Fire Mane Demonic Ancestor saw that his Qi and blood were getting thinner and thinner. Zhu Shan was less than a third of his original strength. It was not enough for him to fight for a day, so he decided to retreat.
"The cultivators from beyond the heavens have a strong Origin Qi. His divine abilities are also extraordinary. I fear that I won't be able to defeat him before I use up all of my Vermilion Mountain. I'll retreat for now and find another opportunity in the future. “
He felt that he had underestimated his opponent this time. If he had made sufficient preparations or brought another vermillion mountain with him, perhaps the outcome would have been different.
Fortunately, he went straight to the Northern Heaven Cold Abyss this time. But in fact, he had already thought of a way out. He had once taken ten thousand World Reflection Towers from the Shocking Sky Mountain.
Many of the cultivators from beyond the Heavens who had come to the Mountain and Sea Realm were equipped with protective magical items. Although the Heavenly Ghost Tribe cultivators were roughly as strong as them, it was still very difficult to defeat them. Only by breaking the magical items or using up all of their magic power could they be subdued.
In order to restrain them, the Heavenly Ghost Tribe sacrificed the Heavenly Ghost Tribe to the Immortal Realm and received the method to create the World Reflection Towers. Once the tower was completed, it could be used not only to protect oneself, but also to attack and injure enemies. From then on, the cultivators from beyond the heavens would no longer have any advantage.
He felt that with the tower in hand, he could safely leave. But even if he wanted to retreat, he needed to find the right time.
Several more hours passed. After attacking with no regard for energy consumption, he finally found a good opportunity. Two of his clones took the initiative to charge forward, while he himself retreated slightly. He opened his mouth and spat out a blood-colored beam of light. More than ten thousand World Reflection Towers leaped out into the air, then transformed into beams of spiritual light that circled around him. As they rotated, they seemed to follow some sort of mysterious principle as they wrapped around him and retreated toward the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As long as he reached the Shocking Sky Mountain, he would be out of danger. There were still a million World Reflection Towers in the royal city, as well as a few Vermillion Mountains. Not only would that be enough for him to recover his vitality, but he also wouldn't have to worry about his pursuers.
After Zhang Yan destroyed the two clones, he looked up and saw that the Firemane Demon Forefather had already retreated far away. His eyes flashed as he used the "Eye of the Sun and Moon" technique.
The Firemane Demon Forefather was affected by this divine ability, and his forward momentum was halted.
Zhang Yan had already driven his demonic form forward, and his fist was aimed at his back.
The Firemane Demonic Progenitor quickly opened his hand, and his Qi and blood surged out and seeped into the World Inspection Pagoda. Under his control, the surface of the pagoda flickered with a red light, and the speed at which it flew back and forth suddenly increased by a few times. It actually absorbed and dissolved all the incoming force, and then flew out, crashing into Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan retreated slightly. Seeing that a direct attack was useless, he immediately changed his strategy. The demonic form's murderous aura transformed into chains that locked onto the World Reflection Tower in an attempt to restrain it. However, as soon as the chains landed on the tower, they seemed to meet with great resistance and were repelled. He raised his eyebrows, and after a few more careful glances, he couldn't help but smile.
The reason why this item could do this was because the ten thousand pagodas were integrated into one. Once it was moved, it would move as well. For example, when the countless thin threads were gathered together, they could be condensed into one extremely tough thread. However, if a single thread was taken out, it could be easily torn apart. To deal with this item, one only needed to disturb its operation, and it would not be difficult to break it apart.
If the person controlling this item was a cultivator from the nine continents, it would not be easy to achieve this goal. However, the Firemane Demon Forefather did not understand the profoundness of the pagoda, and only continued to pour qi and blood into it. All the changes were done by the World Reflection Tower itself, and the driving method was crude. On the surface, it seemed to be impenetrable, but in reality, there were too many flaws.
The most important thing was that the World Reflection Tower itself did not have consciousness.
If it were the magical treasures of the nine continents, forget True Treasures, or even Profound Treasures, because they already had consciousness, if the owner of the pagoda made a mistake, or was unable to react in time, they would be able to react spontaneously. However, without consciousness, they were dead objects, and the amount of power they could display would depend on the ability of the owner.
With a push of his spirit, he once again split into tens of thousands of dark fiendish chains. This time, they wrapped around each of the World Reflection Towers. These chains looked the same on the surface, but they were completely different on the inside. Some were real, some were fake, some were soft, some were hard. Once the World Reflection Tower's power was at its peak, it would respond with the soft and fake chains, and once it was at its weakest, it would immediately wrap around it, making it impossible to escape. Soon, many of the World Reflection Towers were captured.
This item originally relied on numbers to win. The fewer the number, the weaker its power. As more and more of the pagoda were captured, it gradually lost its original effect.
The Firemane Ghost Ancestor had never imagined that things would turn out this way, but he was quick to react. Seeing that the World Reflection Tower could no longer protect him, he immediately sent one of his clones to attack Zhang Yan, while he himself retreated toward the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Zhang Yan used the space of a few breaths to disperse the clone, then gave chase.
The Firemane Ghost Ancestor continued to flee, fighting and retreating, sending out dozens of clones to block Zhang Yan's path. As time passed, he gradually got closer to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
However, this short distance was like a heavenly moat that could not be crossed.
By now, the vermilion mountain on his body had been used up, and there was not much blood qi left. He knew that he would not be able to escape today.
At the last moment, he revealed his ferocious nature. Letting out a wild roar, he squeezed out the last bit of blood qi from his body and unleashed a "Flaming Sun" divine ability. At the moment, he was still under the influence of the "Primal Blaze" technique, which was several times more powerful than it had been before. It was as if a sun had exploded in the sky, and boundless blazing light radiated out in all directions.
Zhang Yan knew that this was his final struggle. Circulating his magic power, he broke through the void and retreated far away. However, the Devil Aspect had already been touched by the light, and was being melted away. With the support of his magic power and divine will, it dissipated and regenerated. After a full moment, the scarlet light completely disappeared.
At that point, he flew back to see that the Firemane Ghost Ancestor had used up the last bit of blood qi in his body. By now, he had turned into a huge stone statue that floated in the void.
In truth, the Ghost Ancestor was not truly dead. If a descendant of the Heavenly Ghost was willing to pour fresh blood on him, or sacrifice enough Demons and Devils, he could still be awakened.
His gaze swept across the statue and he could see a wisp of Godly Soul residing within it. However, at this moment, it had no way of resisting the outside world. Thus, he commanded the demonic image to pull the Godly Soul out. The demonic slip between his eyebrows flashed and swallowed it. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he shattered the Firemane Ghost Ancestor.
Even at this point, the Ghost Ancestor was not truly dead. If someone gathered the fragments and sacrificed blood at all costs, there was still hope for him to come back to life. However, putting aside how to find the Ghost Ancestor in the vast void, even if he really came back to life, he was nothing more than a walking corpse because his Spirit was missing.
Seeing that everything was fine, Zhang Yan was about to leave when he saw a white tablet floating out. It seemed to be something that belonged to the Firemane Ghost Ancestor, so he picked it up. As soon as he held it in his hand, he could feel an extremely strong vitality coming from it. Just holding it in his hand, he felt his recovery speed increase. When he looked at it again, he saw that there were words engraved on it, but they were incomplete. It was obvious that the item was damaged.
"These words seem to be Erosion Runes. They are definitely not something that the Heavenly Ghost could write. Perhaps I can find clues about the cultivators from beyond the heavens. I can check them when I get back."
He put the white tablet away, broke through the void, and arrived at the place where the two had fought. Seeing the World Reflection Pagodas floating around, he waved his sleeve and put them all back.
The biggest gain from defeating the Firemane Ghost Ancestor this time was the World Reflection Pagodas.
He had received a message from Sima Quan. If he wanted to break through the Shocking Sky Mountain, the biggest obstacle was these pagodas.
These pagodas were similar to the protective arrays of the cultivators of the nine continents. They were used to protect the palace of the Heavenly Ghost's ancestral clan. If he could understand the mysteries of these pagodas, then the Heavenly Ghost Royal City would be like a hard armor to the cultivators of the nine continents.
