From the end of the world

Chapter 482 The Third Form 1
In order to deal with Huang Quan and Xu Gou attacking from different directions, I was stretched to the limit and racked my brains to think about how to adjust my combat methods. What I am doing now is the conclusion I came to after thinking hard.

That is to integrate the Slag Straight Sword into one's own fire elemental body.

Slag Straight Sword… Although this weapon has the official name “Slag Impermanence Sword”, I often still call it Slag Straight Sword, because in my mind, this weapon is just slag molded into the shape of a straight sword, and the “sword” is just its temporary form. Giving it a special name is like giving a special name to the action of taking the left or right foot first when walking.

And it may not just be the naming that is unnecessary. After all, the act of turning slag into a weapon may itself be unnecessary.

Probably influenced by the thought that "I might have the power to refine weapons", I turned the slag into an external object. Thinking carefully, the properties of the slag are actually very similar to my body. It can condense and compress flames, and it can also release them. So I put the slag directly into my body and use it as a part to strengthen the body of the fire element. Maybe it can be considered to be making the best use of it.

This is something that other demon hunters would never be able to do.

Take the prototype of the slag weapon, the "golden elixir" of the navy Xuanwu, for example. Although the navy Xuanwu usually keeps it in his body, he will take it out and use it when he releases the internal power. The reason is easy to understand. Even if it is all his own power, it will become impossible to control it freely under the condition of being compressed and gathered to such a strong degree. Once it is emitted, it will in turn shatter his body and soul. Before he can kill the enemy, he will kill himself first.

However, I am not afraid of my body and soul being destroyed. The side effects that the Water Master Xuanwu needs to worry about do not exist at all for me.

When I stabbed the slag sword into my body, a terrifying flame far beyond the eruption of a volcano exploded out of control from the inside. This body made of fire elements could no longer be constrained into a lifelike human form according to my wishes, but turned into endless light and heat that radiated and spread outward.

Huang Quan and Xu Gou's attacks hit me at the same time, and Huang Quan's attack hit my true spirit again. However, after penetrating countless light and heat, the yellow-black mana was greatly attenuated, and only caused slight damage to my true spirit. If you want to kill me with this kind of attack, it will take dozens or hundreds of times.

The damp and heavy feeling caused by the special properties of the yellow-black mana also disappeared with the burst of light and heat. It was like a quilt that had absorbed a lot of water and became heavy, but after being wrung out and placed in the hot sun until it was dry and fluffy, it regained its light and soft state.

I tried my best to control this untamable force, like a raging wild horse, and wanted to recover my shattered body and soul. Although I would not die without my soul, I could only maintain my basic self and thinking when I only had my true spirit.

Or, perhaps because I have not truly proven myself to be a true spirit, it is a mysterious state that cannot be proven by myself.

This may be a bit abstract. There is a saying that goes "I think, therefore I am". It may be difficult for others to understand what it feels like to "clearly still exist, but unable to prove my existence". In short, it can barely be said to be a state of ambiguous and loose self-consciousness. If you want to have enough intervention in the real world with your own power, you must at least have a soul.

The gathering process was not smooth, and the body I finally formed was an orange-red human-shaped light body about two meters tall, with an outline that looked like it was burning and illusory.

After the initial form of the physical body and the second form of the fire elemental body, I seemed to have gained a brand new "third form" that combined offense and defense.

The moment it was completed, I rushed towards Huang Quan and Xu Gou and counterattacked at more than a thousand times the speed of sound.

Now I am not more powerful than before in terms of attack power, but I have a much stronger defense power than before, and I can charge forward without restraint. The threat from Huangquan's attack to me has been greatly reduced, and the attack from the dog can be ignored directly. There is no need to defend without thinking about the end, the horn of counterattack has officially sounded.

"What..." Xu Gou seemed to feel tremendous pressure.

He is not suitable for this kind of battle where he is besieged by others. In the last battle with me, he showed an overwhelming "clipping storm", but this time he has "teammates" by his side, so the special move of indiscriminate attack has become a forbidden move.

Perhaps as an alternative Great Impermanence, he can also use his magic power to identify the target of harm like me. However, that move "Cutting Storm" is like the netherworld attack of the water master Xuanwu to release the golden elixir, and Xu Gou himself is obviously unable to control it well.

At this moment, I cannot say anything to others, because I am unable to control the violent fire power that is raging from the inside out, and its mere existence will have a devastating impact on the surroundings.

In a sense, I can now be regarded as a human-shaped star. Even other Great Impermanence cannot stand in front of me without any damage if they do not use their magic power to build up defense. And if it is a demon hunter at the Great Perfection level or below, just approaching me will turn into ashes, not to mention ordinary people. Just moving in the sky, the ground below me turned into magma out of thin air, and the heat constantly released from my body caused endless destruction like a nuclear explosion wherever I passed.

I think that even if I do nothing and just maintain this "third form", as long as it lasts long enough, it may be enough to cause a catastrophe of mass extinction scale to the ecological environment on the surface of the planet.

"So that's how it is. The weapon just now wasn't an external object you refined with the power of the Vermillion Bird... it was more like your own power?" Huang Quan seemed to have seen something. "What a rapid improvement... not long ago, you should have defeated Ming Zhu only by relying on the old injuries that Xuan Ming had left on him, but now you have the power to defeat Ming Zhu all by yourself...

"However, this doesn't seem like the form that Luo Shan Da Wu Chang, who upholds righteousness, should display. You actually brought out this kind of power. Do you want to destroy this world?"

Hearing the question, I responded: "So, last time you told me and Ma Zao across the river of time that the organization behind you... the Gospel Institute is planning to save the world, right?
“Although I doubt the credibility of what your secretive organization says, it’s a good opportunity for you to prove it to me right now.

"If you don't want the world to be destroyed by me, then try to defeat me here."

Huang Quan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "There should be a limit to bragging. Do you think the advantage is on your side?"

As he spoke, his figure suddenly flashed and came in front of me.

The yellow-black magic power gathered in his right hand, the front end of which was spinning wildly like a drill, and he stabbed towards my chest like lightning.

It seems that he has figured out how to effectively attack me in this form, which is to penetrate my body first and then attack from the inside. In this way, my third form of light body will not be able to reduce most of his lethality first, and his attack can hurt my true spirit like before.

If he comes into direct contact with this body of light, it will definitely cause considerable harm to him. Such a risky move is simply like playing with fire.

At the same time, I also seized the opportunity, activated the fire teleportation, and moved behind the distant Xu Dog in one breath.

After becoming the Great Impermanence, I generally don't use skills like Flame Teleport in battle. Because the principle of Flame Teleport is to decompose my fire elemental body and reassemble it at a distance. This process will reset the density of my body and soul to zero, leaving me completely defenseless, and it will take a short time to raise the density again. This process will become a huge flaw for me, and I might be killed by the enemy in one blow.

However, in the third form, this flaw does not exist. My defense is almost entirely dependent on the slag that continuously releases ultra-high-density flames from my body, so I can teleport as much as I want.

What’s even more convenient is that in the past, after teleporting to the vicinity of the enemy, I needed to mobilize my strength to launch an attack, but now my mere existence itself is an extremely powerful attack, and after teleporting, I can just crash into the person.

Xu Gou's fighting instinct was extremely strong. Almost at the same time as I activated the flame teleport, he had already made a response. However, it was the first time for him to see my flame teleport, and it was probably the first time for him to deal with an enemy whose "existence itself is an attack". He seemed to want to make a defensive posture, but he was a little late in mobilizing the mana required for defense, and I hit him without hesitation.

This time, his black power armor was shattered, and his body was burned to charcoal by the super-high temperature before he could even see his appearance. He was knocked away like a retrograde meteor, at a speed countless times faster than the third cosmic speed, and was soon knocked out of the Earth's atmosphere, his figure disappearing into the deep space of the universe.

Although I don't know if I killed the dog, I can feel that the dark cloud of crisis weighing on my head has been reduced. Even if he is still alive, he cannot return to the battlefield with his current serious injuries. That is not an injury that can be overcome in a short time by super-speed regeneration. It contains the killing intention of my third form with all my strength.

Taking advantage of the weakness of my defeat of the Dog, the yellow and black magic power approached again and hit me by surprise.
