"Pop!"
A crisp cracking sound was heard as Ling Dong crushed the second life-saving talisman. The moment a blood-green brilliance spread out, the Crimson Spirit Purple Flame Shield around his body also dissipated. Ling Dong's powerful divine will swept out and instantly recalled Little Flame's True Spirit, who was about to go out of control due to exhaustion, back into his Divine Soul.
This life-saving talisman could only buy Ling Dong ten breaths of precious time. Ling Dong took advantage of this almost seamless connection to prepare for his next move.
Without this life-saving talisman given by Bai Han, Ling Dong would have to rely on Little Zhou Tian's divine body to defend himself for a very short period of time, which was less than one-tenth of a breath.
Although the time was very short, given the power of the magma, Ling Dong's Little Zhou Tian's divine body would have been seriously injured. And this was because the temperature of the magma was much lower than the magma sea below.
If Ling Dong stood directly in the magma sea below, which was almost sealed off, Ling Dong would have been turned into ashes long ago.
Ten breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye. When the blood-green boundary of the life-saving talisman was broken, Ling Dong's divine will fell on the Myriad Stars House on his chest. Ling Dong's divine body doppelganger silently appeared behind Ling Dong and spread out his protective flame shield to protect Ling Dong in his arms.
Because the defensive power in front of his chest was slightly weaker, Ling Dong only slightly activated the green flame shield inside his body. In addition, his divine body doppelganger had blocked most of the power of the magma, so Ling Dong was able to withstand it with ease.
At the same time, four extremely rare supreme-grade Reiki appeared in the hands of Ling Dong and his divine body doppelganger respectively. A huge amount of pure spiritual energy poured into the bodies of Ling Dong and his divine body doppelganger at the same time.
Ling Dong was taking this opportunity to recover a bit of his strength. Ling Dong had always been a person who would never give up until the last moment. Every bit of strength recovered was a bit, which was why he was doing this.
Letting his divine body doppelganger hold the supreme-grade Reiki was also to let his divine body doppelganger hold on a little longer. According to Mountain God Yin Kang, the divine body doppelganger was the Zhou Tian Fire God Body. Its resistance to the magma was several times stronger than Ling Dong's. But now that he had to protect himself and Ling Dong at the same time, the divine body doppelganger's consumption suddenly increased by three to four times and became intense.
However, the divine body doppelganger was indeed the most powerful part of Ling Dong's plan this time. After holding on for a full hundred breaths in the magma, only half of his cultivation was consumed.
But this was also under the effect of the supreme-grade Reiki's rapid replenishment.
It should be known that not only did supreme-grade Reiki contain a hundred times more energy than high-grade Reiki, but it was almost equivalent to the full cultivation of a First Level Celestial Monarch. Ling Dong's divine body doppelganger absorbed the supreme-grade Reiki at an extremely fast speed. He could absorb two pieces in one breath.
It was also because of this replenishment that the divine body doppelganger could hold on for so long under the burden of Ling Dong. Now, it had only held on for a hundred breaths, but it had already absorbed two hundred supreme-grade Reiki from Ling Dong, and Ling Dong hadn't even absorbed half of it. The speed at which a Zhou Tian True God absorbed the power of the Reiki was extremely terrifying.
The consumption of two hundred supreme-grade Reiki was already enough to make Ling Dong's heart bleed. It should be known that Ling Dong only had a little more than a thousand supreme-grade Reiki. Now, in the span of a hundred breaths, he had already consumed one-fifth of it, which was equivalent to two million mid-grade Reiki.
The total assets of the True Dipper Sect in the Wood Puppet Realm were only four to five million mid-grade Reiki. In other words, Ling Dong had already consumed half of the True Dipper Sect in the span of a hundred breaths.
This terrifying consumption was still going on, and the light kept flashing. Even though Ling Dong was extremely pained, the supreme-grade Reiki stored in the Myriad Stars House continued to be sent to the divine body doppelganger. Then, the divine body doppelganger quickly absorbed all the Reiki and turned them into powder.
"Is the divine body doppelganger unable to hold on any longer?" After two hundred breaths, Ling Dong sighed softly. After Ling Dong's divine body doppelganger appeared, his greatest trump card, the divine body doppelganger, had only held on for a total of three hundred and sixty breaths, which was more than one-third of the time.
As for Ling Dong's trump card, he had no other trump card other than the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag that he had just obtained.
When the divine body doppelganger's protective true dipper started to tremble violently, Ling Dong crushed the last protective talisman given to him by Bai Han without hesitation. When a blood-green brilliance flashed, Ling Dong poured all of his divine sense into the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag.
Taking advantage of the two hundred breaths' time that the divine body doppelganger had held on, Ling Dong guided the seven-colored starlight to refine the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag. However, the difference was much greater than Ling Dong had imagined.
If Ling Dong had the help of the seven-colored starlight, he would have been able to refine a high-grade origin spiritual weapon in less than a hundred breaths' time. However, for a low-grade Zhou Tianshen weapon, after two hundred breaths' time, Ling Dong had barely refined less than ten percent of it.
Time did not allow Ling Dong to hesitate too much. Success or failure depended on this last treasure. If the time was too short, Ling Dong would have to give up on this mission and gamble his life.
Chi!
Ling Dong's divine sense and yellow earth qi rushed into the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag with a shrill sound. At the same time, according to the method that Jin Nu had taught him, Ling Dong activated the human path divine power that Jin Nu had left in the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag.
When the yellow brilliance shone brightly, the heavy feeling of activating the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag disappeared abruptly. Then, a huge suction force came from the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag. Almost in an instant, Ling Dong's earth attribute star soul's earth attribute energy and soul power were sucked out crazily.
If it were not for the Star Master Disk, which was rotating crazily to replenish his soul power, Ling Dong would have fallen into the magma in the earth's core because of the sudden emptiness of his soul power.
Almost at the same time, the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag, which had absorbed all of Ling Dong's earth attribute energy and soul power, shone brightly. With a thought, the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag hovered above Ling Dong's head as if it had a mind of its own. An unusually thick yellow brilliance shone down, covering Ling Dong in an instant and dissipating the heat around him.
"So powerful?" Ling Dong was slightly taken aback by the disappearance of the heat around him. It should be known that Ling Dong could still feel the terrifying heat even when he was protected by the Mystic Ice Multi-pole Silk.
But now, the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag had isolated all the heat in an instant. Its defensive ability was simply ridiculously strong, which was beyond Ling Dong's expectations.
Looking at the almost motionless pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag, Ling Dong felt a little confident for the first time that he could hold on for 900 breaths.
"Yan Que, hurry up!" Ling Dong urged. Although the life aura in his chest was hundreds of times stronger than when it had first arrived, and the amount of energy it could absorb in an instant had increased by dozens of times, Ling Dong had a strange feeling that it was not enough, far from enough.
The brilliance of the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag began to slowly diminish. Time, in Ling Dong's expectation, flew by at a frequency that seemed slow but was actually fast.
400 breaths.
500 breaths.
600 breaths.
When it was almost 700 breaths, the khaki-colored brilliance of the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag suddenly flickered crazily, putting Ling Dong in a dilemma.
Two hundred breaths. With just two hundred breaths, Ling Dong would be able to complete the magnificent feat of staying in this magma sea for fifteen minutes. Even though Ling Dong had exhausted all his means, he was still two hundred breaths away.
However, in this magma lake, even if Ling Dong was exposed for two breaths, it would be extremely fatal, let alone 200 breaths.
"Hold on or give up?"
In fact, Ling Dong didn't need to choose this question. Until the last moment, Ling Dong would not give up.
Just as the defensive spiritual light of the pseudo-Five-elements Thick Earth Flag was about to dissipate, Ling Dong's divine thought suddenly moved, and the small flame True Spirit that had just returned gushed out again with the Red Spiritual Purple Flame.
In these few hundred breaths of time, Ling Dong's cultivation had also recovered a little. Ling Dong once again used the Five Elements Coexistence, allowing the astral fire to recover to eighty percent. In an instant, he once again activated the small flame true spirit.
The Gang Qi in the Fire Star Soul was rapidly disappearing. Under the activation of Ling Dong's Spirit Restriction, the small flame True Spirit crazily absorbed the Fire Yuan Qi of the outside world to fight against the magma in the earth's core.
Ling Dong was also holding two pieces of Supreme-Grade Spiritual Crystals in his hand. He was recovering his cultivation at all costs.
740 breaths.
741 breaths.
The small flame True Spirit began to wail mournfully. Ling Dong's unrestrained activation had begun to consume a great deal of the origin power of the small flame True Spirit.
"Puff … Puff …"
As Ling Dong's Gang Fire was exhausted, the Red Spiritual Purple Flame Shield instantly shattered. Ling Dong, who was about to summon his divine body avatar to resist, suddenly felt an intense pain all over his body. Ling Dong seemed to smell the smell of his own flesh burning.
The intense pain of his flesh burning made Ling Dong's divine thought shake. The divine body avatar that had just rested for a few breaths in the Myriad Stars House suddenly pounced out. The moment it released its protective Gang Qi, the heat wave that wanted to burn him instantly disappeared.
"Chirp …"
Almost at the same time, taking advantage of the time when Ling Dong's divine soul was shaken, the small flame True Spirit let out a cheerful chirp, broke away from Ling Dong's side, and plunged into the magma lake in the earth's core.
Almost at the same time, Ling Dong's figure shook, and his complexion turned ghastly pale. The Star Master Disk in his Sea of Consciousness spun madly, scattering seven-colored starlight, and only then was it able to stabilize his Soul Origin that was shaking endlessly.
The Soul Restriction Ling Dong had placed on Little Flame's True Spirit was somehow destroyed the moment Little Flame's True Spirit plunged into the magma at the earth's core.
Ling Dong no longer had the time to lament his loss, nor did he have the time to investigate what kind of secret method the small flame True Spirit used to break free from his divine soul restriction, because in the span of a dozen breaths, his divine body avatar's protective Gang Qi was about to be depleted.
"Do I really have to return to Long An Star Palace and wait for death?" At this moment, Ling Dong felt a trace of reluctance.
In the next moment, Ling Dong clenched his teeth, and with a thought, he had his divine body avatar's protective Gang Qi protect himself, allowing his divine body avatar to burst out and use his physical body to resist the magma.
Even the divine body avatar's Zhou Tian Fire God Avatar emitted faint smoke in the face of the magma lake. It was the sign of human flesh being cooked.
However, the divine body avatar's consumption of Gang Qi had been reduced by more than half.
At this moment, Ling Dong had steeled his heart. Even if he had to lose his divine body avatar, he had to hold on.
Eight hundred breaths!
Eight hundred and forty breaths!
Black smoke rose from the divine body avatar's back, and his skin began to peel off like charcoal, even revealing his charred bones.
Eight hundred and fifty breaths!
Ling Dong's face once again revealed a look of despair, because the divine body avatar's Gang Qi was about to be depleted.
Eight hundred and sixty breaths!
"Flame Sparrow, are you done yet? I'm finished!" The astonishing heat penetrated through the divine body avatar's Gang Qi protection, which was getting thinner and thinner, and roasted Ling Dong's face until it was charred black. Ling Dong had already activated his Green Gang Qi, making a final effort. The protective spiritual armor also floated to the surface of his body, but its brilliance was already extremely weak.
"Immediately!"
The moment the voice entered Ling Dong's Sea of Consciousness, Ling Dong felt his chest heat up as a majestic wave of Fire Attribute Stellar Qi gushed into his body, pounding against his meridians to the point that they were hurting.
However, it was instantly filled with Ling Dong's fire-attributed Star Soul.
Almost instinctively, a thick layer of fire-attributed Gang Qi came out of his body, protecting his chest, and once again reducing the burden on his divine body avatar, allowing the charred bones and flesh behind the divine body avatar to fall off in large chunks.
It was also at this moment that Ling Dong felt his chest suddenly swell up, and a strange rhythm appeared in his chest. At this moment, Flame Sparrow's voice rang out in Ling Dong's mind, "Give me your blood essence!"
The moment Flame Sparrow's voice rang out, the heat of the magma near Ling Dong formed a small whirlwind. The strange rhythm in Ling Dong's chest seemed to have a terrifying suction force, and the power of the magma around Ling Dong seemed to be sucked in at this moment.
For a moment, Ling Dong felt as if the magma around him had cooled down.
The moment the heat around him was greatly reduced, the pressure around Ling Dong rapidly increased by ninety-nine percent. Ling Dong felt as though he had returned to heaven from hell. The feeling of being barbecued without refining the earth's core lava was simply too wonderful.
Even though the magma around him was constantly flowing, all the magma that flowed over was absorbed by the strange rhythm in Ling Dong's chest.
Ling Dong knew that this was the help that Flame Sparrow had mentioned. Although it came a little late, his divine body avatar had already been seriously injured, so it wasn't too late.
With a thought, the Gang Qi flowing in his body moved slightly, and a blood vessel in his chest instantly ruptured. Under the restraint of Ling Dong's divine consciousness, a huge amount of blood was sent into the Flame Sparrow mark on his chest, which had already expanded several times.
"Hiss!"
The moment Ling Dong's essence blood rushed into the Flame Sparrow mark, a powerful suction force came from it. Ling Dong's face instantly turned green. Ling Dong felt as if all the blood in his body was being sucked into the Flame Sparrow mark, causing Ling Dong's heart to be in danger of stopping.
This made Ling Dong have the impulse to curse the bird again.
The Flame Sparrow mark on his chest suddenly swelled, and a power that made Ling Dong almost want to prostrate himself in worship spread out from his chest. Ling Dong suddenly had a sliver of understanding.
Nirvana had begun!
