I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 212 Ten-Colored Fire Lotus
The enormous puppet wielded a blood-red giant axe, unleashing streaks of blood-red energy that, once they struck the ground, created a chasm thousands of feet long.

Two other figures in blood-red robes stood on the puppet's shoulders, unleashing streaks of blood-red light at the colorful giant. These streaks appeared faint and seemingly powerless, but they vanished in an instant, silently leaving penetrating wounds on the colorful giant's body.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Wuji remained calm and composed. This level of attack had almost no effect on him, and it was wishful thinking for anyone to think they could defeat him with it.

However, his magical power ultimately held him back. If he had the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could have completely defeated the opponent without even needing a second move by fully activating the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

After fighting for so long, the two seemed to be at a loss for what to do with each other.

After calming down, Xiao Wuji realized that he had been a bit arrogant. He had only dealt with a giant who wasn't very bright, and he naively thought that he could easily deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, this Earth Blood's strength is indeed not weak. Although his supernatural powers are lacking and he doesn't have any particularly impressive magical treasures, his puppetry skills are truly remarkable. At the very least, he can't currently create puppets like this.

Moreover, such a large puppet must have wasted a lot of good materials. Its wounds healed so quickly, it's obvious that a lot of divine mud was added to it.

The battle between the two was incredibly loud, and since all the demon kings liked to send spies to each other, their fight couldn't be kept secret. Therefore, he had to finish the battle quickly, otherwise the six-legged creature would definitely come to his aid.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Wuji put away the Golden Dragon Spear, freeing his arms. Then, with a thought, flickering flames appeared at his fingertips.

Taiyin True Fire, Taiyang Essence Fire, Flame of Life, Fallen Heart Flame, Void Devouring Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Yin Yang Twin Flames, Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, Xuanhuang Flame.

Two-digit numbers of strange flames danced at Xiao Wuji's fingertips, and then, under his control, converged in one place, instantly forming a colorful fire lotus.

Compared to the brute force of fusion using the Burning Technique, Xiao Wuji chose a more effortless method: manipulating the laws to fuse the different flames. This was not only faster but also safer.

However, this method cannot be performed by just anyone; one must fully comprehend the laws within the strange fire to achieve it.

Only he and Emperor Tuoshe could achieve this. Xiao Yan, after becoming an emperor, could only be considered half of it, since he didn't have any enlightenment treasures to help him comprehend the Dao.

Looking at the fire lotus that was tens of feet in size, Xiao Wuji felt a little shocked. With so many different kinds of strange fires fused together, even a small ball could easily level the Blood Flame Mountain below. Such a large ball would probably blast a huge crater.

"Farewell, my Dharma body!"

Xiao Wuji used the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd to block the Earth Blood Axe, then used the force to retreat quickly, at the same time throwing out the giant fire lotus in his hand.

As the fiery lotus approached, Di Xue instinctively wanted to retreat. The sheer force emanating from it was already tearing cracks in space, let alone what would happen after the explosion. He couldn't fathom how this guy had managed to conjure such a terrifying thing with his bare hands in such a short time.

The Earth Blood retreated frantically, but Xiao Wuji had grasped some of the laws of space. The fire lotus flickered, and with each flash, it got a little closer to him.

Seeing that escape was impossible, the two "Earth Blood" on the puppet's shoulders flicked their sleeves and spat out blood at the same time.

A small cyan shield, a piece of blood-red gauze, and a round bowl were simultaneously ejected from the body.

At the same time, the giant puppet's body suddenly shrank, and the two "Earth Blood" simultaneously disappeared into the puppet's shoulders. The three magical treasures shone brightly at the same time, forming three layers of light shields that enveloped the puppet, which had shrunk to a size of tens of meters.

The protective barrier had just been completed when the Fire Lotus arrived as scheduled. Looking at the Fire Lotus so close at hand, Di Xue's expression changed drastically. However, before he could react, a dazzling light erupted from the Fire Lotus, and countless beams of light containing destructive power shot out from it. Anything struck by the Fire Lotus would instantly turn to ashes.

The puppet, which was the first to be hit, was also pierced by several beams of light. However, its body did not turn to ashes. A torrent of magical power surged out from the puppet, desperately resisting the erosion of the destructive power.

However, the fire lotus that fused with ten different flames was not so simple. After the beam of light shot out, a destructive wave also came from within the fire lotus. Then, in the sky, the dazzling light was like another blazing sun, and the blinding light almost filled the entire abyss.

"boom!"

An indescribable destructive impact swept across the sky in all directions, instantly turning the already riddled mountains below into barren wastelands. The terrifying heat even melted the mountains themselves.

The earth was sheared away layer by layer, and mountain ranges were destroyed one after another. This scene, which resembled the destruction of the world, was quite shocking to Xiao Wuji, who was hiding under a large bell.

He opened his Dharma Eye, trying to see the changes at the core, but the dazzling light blinded him, making it impossible to see anything. Even though he had pushed the Thunder Radiance Eye to its limit, it was to no avail.

The devastating impact lasted for quite some time before gradually dissipating. Xiao Wuji, who had burned another 100,000 jin of pure source, finally managed to save his life.

Only now was Xiao Wuji able to clearly see the scene at the center of the explosion.

The pitch-black spatial rifts could not be healed for a long time, resembling terrifying black holes that would devour people. There were also countless crisscrossing spatial rifts that made it impossible for people to even enter.

The enormous puppet had long since vanished, and it wasn't until he used the Eye of the Void that he found a small piece of the puppet's parts in a larger spatial rift.

"That's terrifying, but thankfully I have a holy weapon!"

Looking at the spatial rift that was blocked by the legendary holy weapon, Xiao Wuji was also a little scared. Although he was known as someone who could be reborn from a drop of blood, if he lost too much, his primordial spirit and strength would drop significantly.

After riding his sacred weapon to a slightly safer place, Xiao Wuji dared to put it away and return to his normal human size.

"What a pity, such a huge puppet! If it were disassembled, all my subordinates' magical treasures would be there!"

Just thinking about the materials used in that puppet made Xiao Wuji a little envious, but unfortunately it was gone just like that!

Just as Xiao Wuji was still lamenting his loss, the last demon king in the abyss arrived late, and Qingmu and Madam Lan, who had prepared themselves as actors, also made their timely appearance!

"Who are you, fellow Daoist? And where have you taken Fellow Daoist Earth Blood?"

Earth Blood is a crucial part of their plan, and no one can replace it. If anything happens to Earth Blood, they can declare failure immediately. That's why the Six-Legged Clan is so anxious.

"The Earth Blood is dead. If you need anything, burn some paper money!"
