Chapter 141 Earthfire Poison Toad
Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
The ancient mirror hung in front of him, its surface shimmering with light. Three-colored flames swirled out from the mirror, transforming into a slowly rotating three-colored fire wheel.
As the fire wheel rotates, it generates a peculiar suction force, drawing in the surrounding violent and blazing fire spiritual energy, especially the "fire evil" mixed with the violent factors of earth fire, and purifying it within the fire wheel before feeding it back into the treasure mirror itself.
The surface of the Xuanhuo Mirror shimmered with light, becoming subtly more restrained and profound, its power gradually increasing.
The Crimson Fire Gourd, on the other hand, was even more forceful, directly spewing out an invisible power that attracted a large amount of earth fire power from the surrounding area, causing it to surge towards it and fill the space inside.
In his view, the power of the Xuanhuo Mirror depends entirely on the three demonic flames that were originally refined into it, and the power of these three demonic flames only increases slowly under the tempering of the earth fire.
The power of this Crimson Fire Gourd depends entirely on the amount of fire energy stored within it. If the space inside is filled, it becomes ordinary earth fire. However, if it can be released all at once, its power should not be underestimated.
Just as Luo Ming was refining these two fire-attribute magic treasures, the Zhiyang Bird on the other side began to show a different sign.
It flew out from the depths of the magma, opened its mouth and spat out a ball of blazing white fire, which slowly hovered in front of it.
"The Fire of Origin? What's this for?"
Sensing the rich and pure fire elemental power within the fireball, Luo Ming knew that it was the primordial fire of the Zhiyang Bird. This fire was of paramount importance to the Zhiyang Bird and it was not usually released easily.
As soon as the ball of blazing white flame appeared, the raging fire power around it and the yin energy within the adjacent stone wall rushed into the fireball like weary birds returning to their nests.
The opponent spun around, creating ripples that dispersed the incoming Yin energy and earth fire power, leaving only the essence to slowly merge into it.
"Hey!"
The Zhiyang Bird let out a sharp cry and transformed into a fiery shadow, circling around the ball of flames and chasing the Yin essence gathered nearby, as if it were playing. This reminded Luo Ming of a five-clawed golden dragon chasing a dragon pearl.
As time slowly passed, the surrounding earth fire power and yin energy gathered more and more, eventually becoming so tangible that they enveloped the Fat Yang Bird.
Luo Ming was initially worried, but he could sense the increasing power of the Zhiyang Bird's soul through the soul restriction, which put his mind at ease.
"Judging from this situation, it seems they're going to advance their cultivation level here. Just in case something unexpected happens, we should set up some defensive measures."
Looking at the crimson-black sphere that had already reached several meters in size, and the increasingly powerful aura within it, Luo Ming frowned, as if he had thought of something, and immediately began to make arrangements.
If there were a fire-attribute formation in this place, its power would be doubled. Unfortunately, the formation he bought was more suitable for hunting aquatic monsters in the open sea, so he had to make do with what he had.
The Ten Thousand Blades Demon-Locking Formation is a metal-element formation, and its power would be greatly reduced in this environment. In addition, the environment here is cramped, so he could only choose to set up the Primordial Earth Formation. Only after the formation was set up did he feel at ease.
At this moment, the crimson-black spiritual cocoon covering the body of the Fat Sun Bird had reached an astonishing ten zhang in length and was still growing.
Time passed quietly in this strange cave where heat and cold intertwined. Luo Ming calmly kept an eye on the Fat Sun Bird and the surrounding environment while refining the Mysterious Fire Mirror and the Crimson Fire Gourd.
Three days later
"Gurgle—!!!"
A deep, rumbling roar, chilling to the bone, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the lava lake below! The sound contained violence, greed, and endless fury from someone disturbed from their slumber.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge vortex exploded in front of the Fat Sun Bird. The red, viscous magma was pushed aside by a brute force, and a colossal creature burst out of the magma!
This beast resembled a giant toad, its entire body covered in thick, dark red to almost black fleshy growths. Each growth slowly writhed, secreting a sticky substance that shimmered with poisonous light. It was over ten zhang long and crouched on the lava, resembling a mountain of flesh.
A pair of large, emerald-green eyes, cold and ruthless, were fixed on the Fat Sun Bird, which was absorbing energy and at a critical stage. Its long, scarlet tongue, covered with barbs, flickered slightly, emitting a nauseating stench of sulfur and poison.
Ancient and exotic species—the Fire Toad!
"Such a huge creature was hidden so deep in here?" Luo Ming was shocked. The beast had only been there for less than a breath from the moment it made a sound to when it appeared, catching him off guard.
This toad's aura had reached the peak of a level six demon beast, and within this earth fire, the poisonous fire aura swirling around it was almost tangible, making its power even more terrifying than that of an ordinary level seven demon beast!
It completely ignored Luo Ming beside it, and with a sudden push of its hind legs in the magma, its huge body transformed into a dark red afterimage with incredible agility, rushing straight towards the Zhiyang Bird in the air. Its huge mouth, filled with sharp teeth, was already open, intending to swallow this "great tonic" containing pure Yin and Yang power into its belly!
"court death!"
How could Luo Ming allow it to disturb the crucial advancement moment of the Fat Sun Bird? He shouted sharply, waved the array flag in his hand, and between the Earth Fire Poison Toad and the Fat Sun Bird, a yellow light flashed, revealing a thick spiritual energy shield.
"Bang!" The opponent's massive body crashed into the spiritual energy shield, causing the spiritual light on it to flicker before slowly returning to calm.
Seeing that it was being blocked, the Earth Fire Poison Toad was furious. It opened its mouth wide and spat out a pillar of fire that was more than ten feet thick, with wisps of black gas around it, clearly containing a deadly poison, and roared toward Luo Ming.
It's a good time to try out the Crimson Fire Gourd that I just finished refining.
A flash of light appeared in Luo Ming's hand, and the Crimson Fire Gourd flew out, transforming into a huge gourd phantom. An invisible force spread out from the mouth of the gourd, actually absorbing all the fire pillars that the opponent spat out.
The Fire Toad's eyes widened, and then it let out a thunderous roar in anger. Upon hearing it, Luo Ming felt his mind shake, and for a moment, he even found it difficult to control his magic weapon.
Just then, an invisible force flashed in Luo Ming's sea of consciousness, blocking out the shout.
Clearly, the opponent's shout contained a soul-type attack, but for Luo Ming, who had cultivated the Spirit Fire Forging God Technique, it only affected his spiritual power for a moment, and he returned to normal in an instant.
"You take control of the formation!" Luo Mingchao instructed the Golden Gu Elder who had just appeared.
He then summoned the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise, instructing them to guard the Fat Sun Bird's side to prevent any further accidents.
Without hesitation, he formed hand seals, and his inner energy surged forth from his dantian. A clear, melodious buzzing sound rang out, and twelve streams of dark blue light shot out from his mouth, instantly forming an array!
It was his natal magic weapon—the twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls!
Although this ancient beast was quite powerful, his side had several Core Formation cultivators and the assistance of an array, so the beast posed little threat.
His biggest concern now is that the battle is too noisy and will affect the advancement of the Zhiyang Bird.
"Perfect timing to test my magic weapon!" Luo Ming swayed and arrived at the top of the Earth Fire Poison Toad's head.
