Fire Monster

Chapter 290 The Demons Invade Again
Inside the statue space, Zhao Guanshan frowned and thought hard.

"Ring? Old man's ring, Moebius strip, Zhen Huan?"

"Or maybe it's a circle, the circle drawn by Sun Wukong, the golden hoop on his head, the diamond circle of Taishang Laojun, or the Tai Chi circle?"

"Or does it mean a closed trajectory, a world where entropy increase and entropy decrease are self-consistent, a force that can achieve self-balance?"

"If you look at it this way, the alternation of day and night, the cycle of the four seasons, even the psychic circuit and the electrical circuit can be considered a small closed loop."

"By extension of this, can we define destiny as a closed loop, which is why it is called the Loop of Destiny?"

"If that's the case, then Cheng Muye's senior brother, Wang Xuan, Qin Wuyuan, and even Mei Xun's understanding of destiny may be one-sided and incomplete. Destiny may represent a closed loop of rules and the closed loop of the essence of power. When a certain closed loop critical point is reached, destiny is formed. It has no consciousness, but after reaching the critical point, it may form a power structure similar to inertia or gravity."

"Any life in it will be affected by the inertia and gravity of destiny. If you live an honest life, you won't feel the constraints of the inertia and gravity of destiny. But the faster and more intensely you jump, the more you will feel the constraints brought by the inertia and gravity of destiny, such as immortal cultivators and Qigong practitioners."

“That’s why the fairy lady said that only when you jump out of the ring of destiny can you ascend.”

"But what is a destiny seed? Are these two talismans I got considered a destiny seed?"

Zhao Guanshan shook his head slightly. It was impossible. Otherwise, the evil god would have obtained the seed of destiny long ago.

Moreover, there is another important question: are the evil demons and the evil gods behind them also lives in the Ring of Destiny?
In addition, will a new, smaller Ring of Destiny be born within the Ring of Destiny? Is it possible that this is an infinite circle of despair, one ring within another?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guanshan quickly stopped. There was no need to consider this problem anymore. Then he looked at his statue. It was very different now. He first strengthened it four times with white spiritual ash, and then strengthened it three times with black spiritual ash. This powerful feeling could be extended.

The simplest example is that the purple fire spirit soldiers that the statue automatically condenses every two days now have a strength enhancement of +7 when they go out.

When he reached the spirit world, he could even transform into a golden-armored giant at any time through his soul realm, with super strong combat power. He felt that he could finally fight a tie with the spirit demon at the level of the Rotten Giant.

In reality, the power of this statue would also extend over, providing his ugly branch statue with about a 20% increase in strength.

"Let's go back first!"

In a flash, Zhao Guanshan took the talisman and returned to reality through the visualization world.

As soon as he returned, he saw the two talismans automatically floating in the air, corresponding to each other, circling continuously, as if they were generating some kind of force field.

Zhao Guanshan quickly grabbed them. Even in his left and right hands, the two talismans were like magnets. Even if one was placed in the ash bag and the other was placed outside, it would not work.

Just release them and they will respond.

Although he didn't mind seeing the reaction between them, it was obvious that this reaction was self-destructive, or more accurately, deformed and premature.

This is not even close to the mark.

There was no other way, so Zhao Guanshan had to press down one talisman with his ugly statue, and return the other one to the spiritual world and press it under the main statue.

Is it safe now?

But when he returned again, he was shocked. His ugly statue was gone. Damn it!
Then he realized that the statue had jumped into his imperial oil lamp.

The talisman that was suppressed had long disappeared, and upon closer inspection, the statue had become even smaller. It was originally ten centimeters, but now it was only one centimeter. It was sitting cross-legged in the imperial oil lamp, gently wrapped in the fire. As a result, his body was warm and comfortable at this moment, which was equivalent to having an excellent buff.

So Zhao Guanshan returned to the statue space again, and as expected, the talisman that was pressed by the main statue was also missing.

But nothing has changed here.

He didn't know there were any changes, the main game was hide and seek.

Then he returned again, but when he passed through the visual world, he was shocked again. The vision here was updated at some point.

No, it was the entire Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace within a thousand miles. This huge ship sailing on the magic fire became the background of his visualized world.

Yes, it’s just the background, a big background that you can only look at but not touch.

It is obvious that these are two different systems and things of different dimensions.

It’s just like the sweet-smiling young lady on the wallpaper of your computer screen and the beautiful scenery, which has nothing to do with you.

Then, Zhao Guanshan was shocked to see a small sapling, very weak, growing in the middle of this big background. At first glance, it seemed very ordinary, but at another glance, it was different. He realized that some of his previous operations, combined with the Lihuo Dao Talisman and the pseudo-destiny carried by the two talismans, seemed to have produced something extraordinary.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Guanshan suddenly discovered that the small sapling seemed a little wilted, and even its leaves began to turn yellow, as if it had been attacked by disease or insects.

"Shit! What should I do? I, I, I can't handle this."

Zhao Guanshan was very anxious. To him, the sapling was just a background painting, just like the Mona Lisa in the picture. Could he still say, "Let me give you a massage?"
"No, there's a big problem in reality!"

Zhao Guanshan suddenly reacted. As expected, as soon as he returned to reality, he sensed an atmosphere of anxiety. He left the Chiyin Bunker, but found that it was already dawn. People were hurrying on the street, some were crying, some were running, and people were panicking everywhere.

However, the front line of the Demon Suppression Division was breached by the evil demons again. This time, even the sixth-level imperial seal chariot produced by the Demon Suppression Division could not withstand it.

That's it!

He didn't even bother to greet Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun.

Zhao Guanshan returned to the Chiyin Bunker, first took the long sword, then took the broadsword, and was about to go out, but after thinking about it, he took out an identity jade card from the spoils, waved his hand, and a sixth-level misleading rune was slapped on it. The next moment, the aura of the fifth-level Qi Refiner recorded in the identity jade card was guided over.

There was no change in him, but if others found him, they would just think he was the fifth-level Qi-refining master he killed, oh, his name seemed to be Qin Wuming.

When he came out again, there were already Imperially Seal'd chariots rumbling through the streets. The Demon Suppression Division was gathering, and some mercenaries were also gathering. As this place had one Imperially Seal'd chariot per capita, the panic wasn't too serious.

The responses of the Demon Suppression Department and the Chief Secretary were also satisfactory.

In the sky, the sword lights of the Five Elements Qi Refiners could be vaguely seen, and in addition there were also a number of Imperial Seal fighter planes flying by.

The speed of mobilization for this war is quite good.

Zhao Guanshan did not hesitate. With a thought, a flash of fire appeared all over his body. A mysterious rune flashed and the sixth-level fire escape was activated. In an instant, he had soared eight hundred meters into the air and stood steadily above a sealed fighter.

Let's take a tailwind fighter.

He is now a fifth-level Qi Refiner, and in reality, the advantages of the spiritual world are difficult to directly reflect. What he relies on is his pure yang body, the innate pure yang energy in his body, and various magical powers of the Lihuo system.

A pure yang body can ensure that the consumption of innate pure yang energy is reduced by half.

At the same time, a breath of innate pure yang energy can be automatically generated every day.

As someone who had survived a personal catastrophe, he now had a total of seventy-two breaths of innate pure yang energy in his body.

This is his blue bar.

Taking the eighth-level dispel as an example, in the past he needed to consume ten breaths of innate pure yang energy to condense one, but now he only needs five.

As for the sixth level of Fire Escape, to release it once, only half a breath of innate pure yang energy is needed.

From this point of view, high-level Qi Refiners are indeed very important in high-level battlefields, but the Imperial Seal Fighter has become very sweet.

It's just that the speed of this sealed fighter is not fast enough, so it can barely break the speed of sound. Other Five Elements Qi Refiners don't even bother to try to get close to it.

However, in just this short moment, three teams of fifteen Five Elements Qi Refiners had already used the Five Elements Escape Technique to rush away.

The Five Elements Escape Technique is undoubtedly faster and more economical. It combines five escape techniques into one, consumes little energy, and can reach at least ten times the speed of sound.

It seems that the situation is not too bad.

Zhao Guanshan thought with a bit of envy and jealousy. At this moment, his perception spread out, focusing on the front and projecting it in a fan-shaped area. The farthest detection range had reached fifty miles.

It doesn't sound very far, but it is actually quite awesome, because at this moment this is not a cloudless, clear blue sky environment, but a place with rolling demonic energy, roaring demonic thunder, and there are also large demon-suppressing nets and fragments of the demon-suppressing nets, and the environment is quite complicated.

For example, this flight of Imperial Seal fighters was formed of three aircraft when it took off, but in less than three minutes it was already flying solo.

Suddenly, a demonic thunder fell and passed by the edge of the Imperial Seal Fighter. In the demonic thunder, evil flames rose and demonic fire raged. The moment of the explosion, it formed a huge impact, directly knocking the Imperial Seal Fighter dozens of times. The amazing thing is that it did not get out of control and its defense was not broken.

While Zhao Guanshan was praising him endlessly, he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, made a gesture with his left hand, pointed his right hand into the air, and a series of magical runes condensed and attached to the sword as it went straight up. In an instant, only the sound of sword clanging could be heard, and a streak of sparks broke into the demonic energy.

The next second, the long sword was sheathed, but huge mushroom clouds of flames exploded in all directions. Fifteen ninth-level evil demons nearby were all killed by him without even a chance to be seriously injured.

There is no way around it, this is the basic daily routine of a peak level five Qi Refiner.

"what?"

Zhao Guanshan was suddenly stunned, and saw fifteen gray rays of light flying rapidly and disappearing into the imperial seal oil lamp hanging around his waist.

What the hell?

Killing monsters also gives experience.

Wait, could this be the accumulated merits of destiny?

Zhao Guanshan blinked and suddenly understood.
