Duke Wang was furious that a Golden Lotus Ninth Grade cultivator was acting so overbearingly. However, even though he was furious, he didn't lose his mind. The screams of agony still reverberated in the pit. He was rather apprehensive of the thing that could inexplicably harm others.
Despite his fear, it didn't stop him from attempting to take over Miao Yi's body. Once he succeeded, the benefits would be worth any price.
However, he wouldn't act rashly. He hovered in the air, his eyes flickering as he thought of a countermeasure.
Miao Yi didn't want to waste any more time with him. He stabbed his spear into the ground, then fished out the Transcendence Bow with a flip of his hand. He nocked the Meteor Arrow, and with a bang, three arrows were released at the same time. Three streaks of light shot towards the sky.
Duke Wang waved his hand, and a defensive shield appeared in his hand. He didn't dodge, but used it to block in front of him.
Boom boom boom! Three explosions rang out, numbing his arm and sending him flying backwards. His spiritual energy was slightly scattered, and he was quite surprised. He had long heard of the Celestial Court's Transcendence Bow's power. Now that he saw it, it truly lived up to its reputation.
As soon as he put down the shield, Duke Wang peeked his head out to take a look. Suddenly, an idea came to him, and he dived straight down to the ground.
When Miao Yi saw the shield in his opponent's hand, he knew that in a one-on-one situation, the Transcendence Bow wouldn't be effective against Duke Wang.
As he retrieved the three Meteor Arrows with a wave of his hand, Miao Yi's gaze followed Duke Wang's figure as he landed. His expression instantly tensed up.
At the same time, Duke Wang flew close to the ground and swung his saber at an angle. With a rumble, the flat ground rippled, and a huge wall of sand and gravel pushed by Duke Wang's transcendence energy pushed forward like a huge wave, causing the whole ground to rumble and tremble.
Meanwhile, Duke Wang's figure was hidden behind the gravel wall, making it impossible to tell where he was.
Miao Yi instantly understood his opponent's intentions. He was taking advantage of his inability to fly, so he couldn't cross the huge wall of sand. He could also defend against his Heart Flame's sneak attack, and was preparing to forcefully crush him.
"Aooo!" Charcoal roared at the wall of sand, eager to make a move.
"Stay here!" Miao Yi shouted. He grabbed the Inversed-Scales Spear that was stabbed into the ground beside him, flipped himself up, and kicked Charcoal's head. This was also a warning to Charcoal. Miao Yi had already flipped himself to the ground and rushed out. With the spear in hand, he moved as if he was flying. He brazenly rushed towards the wall of waves alone.
"Harrumph …" Charcoal let out a loud sneeze. His eyes widened in shock, as though he hadn't expected Miao Yi to go head-on against Duke Wang.
Clad in his battle armor, Miao Yi charged forward alone, and in an instant, he collided with the raging waves that were crashing towards him.
The moment they collided, Miao Yi swung his spear furiously. Boom! He cut a hole in the surging torrent.
However, it didn't have any defensive effect. As soon as the hole closed up, it was instantly swallowed up by the surging torrent. Charcoal was so shocked that he kept digging at the ground with his claws.
Hiding within the rolling waves of sand, Duke Wang was overjoyed. He could easily see Miao Yi's movements from where he was hiding, but Miao Yi couldn't see him. In addition to the commotion caused by Miao Yi's charge, Duke Wang immediately locked onto Miao Yi's position. In a flash, he charged over and slashed at Miao Yi with his saber.
Miao Yi had already closed his eyes as he charged into the rolling gravel. As he desperately invoked his arts to defend against the onslaught of the sand, he listened attentively.
Almost at the moment when the crisis approached, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda appeared in his hand. The Linglong Treasure Pagoda suddenly enlarged, and the bottom of the pagoda opened up, sucking in the incoming crisis and the rolling gravel into the pagoda.
Since he dared to forcefully rush over to meet force with force, he naturally saw an opportunity amidst the danger. He seized this fleeting opportunity and attacked decisively, not wanting to miss it.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, Duke Wang suddenly realized that he had struck thin air as he wildly swung his saber. The rumbling noises in his ears suddenly disappeared as well. His vision brightened, and he realized that he had actually fallen from the sky. He quickly invoked his arts to hover in the air, and watched as a large amount of gravel crashed to the ground beside him. He looked around in bewilderment. It was so quiet, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
The vast and boundless desert had actually disappeared. In front of him were volcanoes with thick smoke billowing everywhere. Below him, he could even see molten red lava flowing from the mouth of one of the volcanoes. He instinctively thought that this was an illusion, but the innate suppressive aura emitted from the volcanoes made him tremble with fear. He couldn't help but suspect that this wasn't an illusion, but a place that truly existed.
He didn't understand why the scene would suddenly change, and he would appear here. There was almost no prior warning, as though he had suddenly crossed over to another time and space. Where was this?
On the desert, the rumbling sounds shook the ground. The wall of gravel that had been surging just a moment ago suddenly became powerless, and the overbearing scene abruptly weakened. The earth-shattering aura turned into a mountain of gravel crashing down.
'Harrumph …' Charcoal sneezed as he stared intently, unsure of what had happened. He hadn't heard any sounds of fighting, so why did it suddenly stop?
'Boom!' A section of the high gravel slope that stretched across the desert suddenly exploded, and the Exquisite Pagoda flew out, floating in the air. The pagoda had seven levels, and it was rotating layer by layer. A figure jumped out from below, and landed on the high gravel slope. It was Miao Yi.
Charcoal immediately sprinted over like a gust of wind, leaping onto the high gravel slope and landing in front of Miao Yi. Shaking his head and wagging his tail, he looked around, and asked curiously, "Where did that bastard go?"
Miao Yi didn't pay any attention to him, and casually stabbed his spear into the gravel. His hands formed an incantation, and shot out rays of light as he began to control the Exquisite Pagoda.
Inside the Exquisite Pagoda, Duke Wang, who was hovering in the air and looking around in bewilderment, suddenly lowered his head to look beneath his feet. He saw that the molten red lava in the volcanoes below suddenly began to violently surge, and five lava men slowly emerged from the mouth of the volcanoes. All of a sudden, the five lava men sped up, and charged towards Duke Wang from five different directions.
Duke Wang was shocked. As an Evil Spirit, he was naturally afraid of things with a fire attribute. Without hesitation, he mustered all his transcendence energy and crazily slashed out a few astral blades. With five loud booms, the five lava men instantly exploded into lava that scattered in all directions.
Seeing that this level of power wasn't enough to pose a threat to him, Duke Wang heaved a huge sigh of relief.
However, before he could relax, another five lava men emerged from the mouth of the five volcanoes below, and once again pounced at him from five different directions. This time, he was shocked because the attack speed of these five lava men was far faster than the previous five.
As he had expected, even their defensive capabilities were far stronger than before. Even though he slashed out five astral blades, he was still unable to disperse the five lava men, and was immediately surrounded by them.
The saber in his hand rose and fell, and he fought furiously against the five lava men with all his might. One by one, the lava men were defeated by him.
But what scared him quite a bit was that there seemed to be no end to the lava fire man. After he killed one, another one would appear, and their strength would become stronger and stronger. All of the ones that appeared could fight evenly with him, and it was just that their agility was not as good as his.
Not only were they evenly matched with him, but they also kept popping up. He fought and fled at the same time, but this place seemed to be a land of endless volcanoes. It was as if he could never run to the end, and there would always be an endless supply of lava men to kill.
An hour later, Duke Wang's heart was filled with despair. As he fought with all his might, he begged for mercy, "Mister Niu, it was my beloved concubine who was reckless. I didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I know my mistake. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. We can discuss any conditions you have. Please let me go!" He had obviously already guessed that he had fallen into Miao Yi's trap.
Miao Yi didn't pay any attention to him, and continued to control the Exquisite Pagoda. At this point, how could he spare Duke Wang's life? Now it was his turn to silence him.
When Charcoal heard this, he was overjoyed. Looking at the seven-floored pagoda that was spinning in the air, he smacked his lips and said, "So they're locked in there!"
Another hour later, Duke Wang, who had been fighting fiercely without a break, was completely exhausted. He no longer had the energy to continue fighting in the air, so he landed on the ground and fought the lava men with all his might. He also realized something was amiss. After his attacks became weaker, the lava men attacking him also became weaker. However, the fire men were always evenly matched with him, and could exhaust him to death.
He wasn't stupid, and quickly figured out how to get out of this dangerous situation. He took out his shield to defend himself, and no longer attacked. Instead, he took the hits head-on. As expected, it didn't take long for the fire men attacking him to become weaker and weaker.
"Hmph!" Miao Yi scoffed. This wasn't the original Exquisite Pagoda, so the people outside wouldn't know what was happening inside. Naturally, he noticed Duke Wang's intentions. He tilted his head and said, "Fat thief, you have something to eat again. Go in."
The base of the Exquisite Pagoda that was spinning in the air suddenly opened up. Charcoal leaped up and charged inside.
Duke Wang, who was fighting head-on, suddenly raised his head and noticed that a skylight had appeared in the sky. The skylight appeared for a moment, then closed again, and something fell down — Charcoal was pouncing down from the sky.
Duke Wang, who was already exhausted, was shocked. He used his shield to push away a fire man, and fled in a flash.
Charcoal, who had landed on the ground with a loud rumble, leaped forward and clawed at the air. 'Bang!' Duke Wang was immediately slammed to the ground. Charcoal followed suit and pressed Duke Wang, who had just gotten up, back onto the ground. He didn't care if Duke Wang was wearing armor or not, and took a huge bite out of him, biting off his helmet as well.
Duke Wang twitched and struggled under Charcoal's brute force, but he couldn't break free.
A few lava fire men scattered on the ground like mud. The volcano collapsed and sank, and the terrain changed into mountain ranges. A river flowed down from upstream, forming a river between the mountain ranges. Grass sprouted on the ground, and trees grew at a visible rate. A gentle breeze blew, and in the blink of an eye, the world had changed.
Charcoal looked at the changes in his surroundings in shock. He didn't care anymore, and continued to dig into the armor with his claws. Then, he grabbed the armor and shook it. Soon, a white Resentful Spirit Bead with colorful patterns fell out. He lowered his head, and with a sweep of his tongue, he sucked the Resentful Spirit Bead into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. It looked delicious.
A cave suddenly appeared beside him out of thin air, and he could see the desert outside. The things that Duke Wang had left behind were swept away by a surge of transcendence energy. Then, Miao Yi's voice rang out, "You're done eating. Come out."
