Fire Monster

Chapter 163 Light up the Explosion Rune
"Your Excellency the Military Supervisor, thank you for your compliment."

Deng Jiuji was deeply moved. His gains this time were unimaginable. Not only did it deepen his understanding of weapons such as heavy shields, but it also resolved the regret that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

Xiao Chengyun nodded. She wanted to wait for Zhao Guanshan to come out, but for some reason, perhaps because of some feelings she had during the trial with Deng Jiu just now, she suddenly felt like going into seclusion for a moment of enlightenment. That moment of inspiration was so beautiful.

So without saying anything, she turned around and went back to her room. She was determined not to miss this flash of inspiration.

Little did people know that at this moment Zhao Guanshan was deep in thought in the statue's space.

He had cleaned up Su Hai's remaining soul in a neat and tidy manner, and confiscated his broadsword experience pack. The whole process was very easy.

Afterwards, he entered the statue space through the visualization world, hoping to get a new round of attribute points.

That’s right, twenty-eight days had passed since he last lit up the fifth-level dispel rune.

During these days, Liu Yuwei's two passive magical powers have been running all the time. As long as she practices, there will be a surplus.

Now, the stone platform below her statue has been completely covered by the deep green transformed by the Qingmu Taoist Talisman, as if entering the depths of the rainforest. The vigorous vitality is diffused and condensed, which is very tempting.

You can even vaguely see a green leaf, which is very magical.

Zhao Guanshan estimated that this would allow him to continue lighting up the sixth-level dispelling rune.

And it wasn't just Liu Yuwei. After a month of accumulation, the stone platform below Xiao Chengyun's statue had actually accumulated quite a bit of energy. Pale golden light spots were constantly circling, like fireflies or starlight, and in the midst of the gathering and dispersion, they could actually condense into a small pale golden sword.

It's just magical.

However, the outline of this small sword is not clear yet. Zhao Guanshan estimates that it will take at most half a month for this small sword to be complete.

Obviously, it's time to upgrade the NPC female teammates.

The next route for his three-man team was entirely up to him.

"Xiao Chengyun is basically trustworthy now, so she still needs to be strengthened."

Zhao Guanshan stared at the four stars above Xiao Chengyun's head. The first two were the Broken Gold Rune and the Qianjin Sword Energy Rune, each of which was lit up once. If she used up the pale golden small sword that she had condensed in the past month, she would not be able to light up these two. After all, they were at the second level, so they required more energy.

But this pale golden sword can light up Xiao Chengyun's third rune star.

"This one is a bit like the immobilization spell. No, it should be a skill similar to the judgment type, with tracking and locking. It can judge the target within a certain range, but the premise is that it can be confirmed that the target is in this area. Wow, this magical power is not bad, let's call it marking."

"Well, the maximum marking range is centered on the caster, with a radius of 500 meters, but it requires pre-casting. No, it requires pre-sensing, just like turning on a radar and locking it in three seconds. During this process, it will definitely be sensed by the evil spirits. This skill is a bit like a double-edged sword."

Zhao Guanshan was a little hesitant whether to light it up. In short, this was a very targeted magical rune. If it was released, it would expose him. It felt like you were staring into the abyss, and the abyss was also staring at you.

A one-for-one exchange tactic.

"It's better to click it. One more skill, one more possibility, one more path."

Zhao Guanshan finally made a decision. Then, when he stared at the light golden sword for more than three seconds, the sword suddenly turned into a golden light and lit up the third star.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Chengyun, who was feeling a flash of inspiration in a room on the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, understood it, and made a breakthrough. Oh, I am indeed a genius that appears once in a thousand years!

At this time, Zhao Guanshan continued to look at his statue. Since he had cultivated the first breath of pure yang energy, there was actually a small flame wandering on the stone platform below his statue. However, it was difficult to become a big deal for the time being and could wait for a few months.

"Then it's time for me to light up the Explosion Rune."

Zhao Guanshan muttered to himself calmly, the Explosive Rune is by far the most powerful offensive power in the Lihuo Dao Fu series, but he lit up this rune not to kill everyone on the battlefield as a Qi Refiner.

In fact, when you really get to the battlefield, the blue bar will only be released once.

Therefore, the real purpose of this explosive rune is to add spirit to weapons.

It is used to increase damage.

First attach the spirit of broken gold, then attach the spirit of explosion. One weapon, two additional damages. What about the eighth or ninth level evil spirit?
"Light up!"

Zhao Guanshan returned to the visualization world and stared at the dim exploding rune star. Three seconds later, a bright ray of light connected to it. It was the vital energy accumulated by Liu Yuwei's statue.

It’s so abundant.

Changing someone else might not achieve such an effect. Liu Yuwei is really too suitable for practicing Qingmu Dao Fu.

The best, the best!

This continued for a while, and when the Exploding Rune Star was one-third lit, there was a sudden burning sensation.

The whole person felt like he was about to explode.

But this is just Zhao Guanshan’s state of visualizing the world.

He also hadn't expected that lighting up this explosive rune star would bring about such a huge change. Even though it hadn't been completely lit yet, he already felt as if the world was being turned upside down and rebuilt.

"The underlying logic of the entire visualized world has been reconstructed."

"Before this, the underlying logic of my visualized world was that the dispersal runes accounted for more than 90%. Now that I've lit up the blast rune, that's why it's like this."

Zhao Guanshan suddenly understood, but he was not surprised. He just let the changes go on. Because he could feel that when the underlying logic was reconstructed, his already lit fifth-order dispelling rune did not reject or conflict with it. It was hanging high, and a mysterious balance was formed, just like the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the cycle of the four seasons.

Finally, the exploding rune star was successfully lit up.

It is so hot, so bright, and so violent and ferocious, as if there is endless power constantly erupting, it is the boiling magma in the volcano, the splendor of meteors across the sky, the suffocating endless flames, and the burst of the most primitive power!

To destroy everything!
If you look at it for even one more moment, you’ll feel like you’ll be burned to ashes.

Then, it rose up, like a king, looking down from above. This power made Zhao Guanshan want to grasp it, and then kill, burn, and destroy.

too frightening.

However, when this feeling came to his mind, Zhao Guanshan felt another kind of peaceful coolness passing through his heart, calming down the heat.

Two stars, one on the left and one on the right, neither biased nor partial, as if it was supposed to be that way.

At this moment, under this lit exploding star, there is the already lit third-level broadsword mastery and the yet to be lit first-level longsword mastery.

The difference is immediately noticeable.

The Exploding Rune Star is the king and the emperor, but these two can only be considered as his subjects, not even his ministers and guards.

Because behind the Exploding Rune, three more dim rune stars were pulled closer, which were the subsequent derivative runes of the Exploding Rune.

Just like the Dispel Rune gave rise to the Oblivion Rune.

However, Zhao Guanshan was no longer able to keep lighting the lanterns, as Liu Yuwei's nearly one month's supply was completely drained by him at once.

After observing for a while, Zhao Guanshan exited the visualization world and returned his consciousness to reality. He first drank nine portions of grade 90 marrow cleansing liquid in one breath, and then began to condense the first-order explosive rune.

There was no way, he was afraid that he would be sucked dry.

Moreover, he had a very clear premonition this time. As he lit up the explosive rune and mastered the knowledge contained therein, he would definitely further unlock the Lihuo Dao Talisman, and then, there might be unknown changes.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan held his breath, calmed his mind, and concentrated, waiting for the many thoughts to slowly dissipate like the evening breeze.

He then began to form seals with his hands. As soon as the first rune was formed, the innate pure yang energy in his body suddenly burned violently.

Above his head, the life fire appeared, and the Lihuo Taoist Talisman seemed to be real. Heat waves rolled all over his body, and the vitality energy expanded, as if it was going to burst him.

This is the magical effect brought by the nine portions of 90th grade marrow cleansing spiritual liquid.

It's just the right time.

The next moment, Zhao Guanshan quickly formed seals, continued to lay the groundwork, and continued to mobilize the innate pure yang energy in his body.

Until all sixty-four talismans were formed, the whole person felt like he was about to explode and turn into a fiercely burning furnace.

He then began to change to a new rune mark with difficulty, which was the knowledge mark of the explosive rune.

It's a completely different feeling, familiar yet strange.

Far away yet so close.

As the strange runes in his hands gathered, his mind began to rumble like a storm.

Amidst the earth-shaking roar, his consciousness continued to rise. There were two fireballs around him, one was dispersing, the other was exploding. They were spinning at high speed, fighting, devouring, burning, destroying, resonating, reborn, and merging, as if they were experiencing reincarnation again and again.

In this process, his understanding of the explosive rune became deeper and deeper.

When he completely mastered the Explosion Rune and was able to maintain a good balance with the Dispersion Rune, a mysterious feeling arose spontaneously.

Then, as if it was destined, he saw a hazy, blurred statue standing in a very distant place.

It's the statue of the female immortal.

It is also the source of power of the Lihuo Dao Fu.

That’s right, even if it was just the outline, Zhao Guanshan could recognize it.

But this time, no matter how he tried to get closer or how he tried to catch up, the statue always remained very, very far away.

Until a piece of burning ash fell down, very small, most of it had turned into ashes, and a small part still had a faint flame, just like paper money blown by the wind and not yet burned out.

But it will go out soon.

Zhao Guanshan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to scoop up the ash with his hands, but the ash fell like light and shadow. The next second, he saw the ancestor of the Zhao family again, the immortal cultivator who founded the Floating Cloud Taoist Palace.

He seemed to be still very young at that time. It was he who held the ashes and then saved the last ray of fire from the remaining ashes.

And this ray of fire was so familiar, because it was the small flame in the imperial oil lamp in Zhao Guanshan's hand.

So that's how it came about.
