Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 372 They took it down just like that? (4K)

"I appreciate your kind offer, fellow Daoist."

Xiao Chen shook his head: "But things haven't gotten to that point yet."

"Leave this beast to me."

The main reason is that he actually has a trump card that can effectively counter the enemy's regeneration ability.

Although there aren't many suitable use cases, it's still very effective at dealing with large targets.

That's right, this trump card is the Big Dipper Spirit Fire that Xiao Chen once used to deal with the White Bone Demon Body!

Since arriving in the Eastern Region to eliminate the demonic calamity, he has never used this method again.

There are reasons for this, and the key points are in two areas.

First, facing other Golden Core cultivators activating the Big Dipper Spiritual Fire, it felt somewhat like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Xiao Chen himself did not directly encounter any Golden Core cultivators that he could not defeat.

There's no need to reveal too many cards, thus making it easier for the enemy to prepare in advance.

Second, and most importantly.

That is, the Big Dipper Spirit Fire is not very useful when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

After all, while it is powerful, there is a prerequisite: it must come into contact with living beings.

This requirement doesn't seem too difficult at first glance, but it's actually incredibly insane.

You have to understand that the enemy isn't a sitting duck; they can move, they can dodge, and they can use magic and magical artifacts to resist.

In most cases, if Xiao Chen can directly hit the enemy cultivator's body with the Big Dipper Spirit Fire...

You could win with other spells, or even win faster.

However, coincidentally, he encountered one of those rare cases this time.

With the enhancement of the Sea God Talisman, the giant octopus gained extraordinary regenerative abilities, making it fully capable of withstanding conventional spells and even mountain-protecting formations.

Fortunately, it also fits the characteristics of being large in size and relatively slow in movement.

And after realizing that the others didn't seem to pose much of a threat to it, it even gave up its defense and began to destroy the array base.

This undoubtedly gave Xiao Chen a good opportunity.

Furthermore, to increase his hit rate, he deliberately shouted, "We can't let it destroy the formation!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his Soaring Palm attack while rapidly closing the distance.

They put on an act of close-range attack, attempting to restrain the opponent.

In reality, it was just to lower the giant octopus's guard so that they could succeed in one fell swoop.

As soon as they got close, they were met with a fierce touch from the other party, which smashed their heavy water robe and Four Symbols Mountain Suppressing Cover to smithereens.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Xiao Chen's design.

It's simply because at this moment, the giant octopus has begun to lose its composure.

Although he was still focused on dismantling the array base, he was subconsciously attacking the approaching enemies.

Fortunately, this was just a minor incident.

Taking advantage of its strong offensive power, Xiao Chen closed in again and unleashed the Soaring Palm in advance, then hid the Big Dipper Spirit Fire in the fire in front of him.

The giant octopus swung its tentacles and slapped again.

Having anticipated this, he immediately dodged and safely escaped the opponent's attack range.

"Peng~!"

The fireball left behind was instantly shattered into pieces by the tentacle, turning into a pile of scattered sparks.

Only a tiny white flame, the size of a soybean, stuck directly to the tentacle.

At first, apart from Xiao Chen, no one noticed the small flame.

After all, it was so inconspicuous that it seemed like it would go out with a gust of wind.

Everyone watched their movements with bated breath.

I'm curious how Xiao Chen will deal with this deep-sea behemoth.

But soon, the giant octopus was the first to sense that something was wrong.

Its powerful healing ability should have restored any injury to its original state within a few breaths.

However, a white flame ignited on one of the tentacles and spread rapidly.

"Crack~!"

Without hesitation, the giant octopus swung its other tentacle, striking the burning area in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

Generally speaking, this is the fastest way to extinguish a fire.

However, to its surprise, when the two tentacles separated, the white flames also split in two, instantly becoming two separate entities.

This action not only failed to extinguish the fire, but actually fueled it.

Something is wrong!
At this moment, even the human True Monarchs around them noticed something amiss.

The rapidly spreading white flames were clearly not ordinary fire, and seemed to have the effect of suppressing life.

"Damn it!"

The giant octopus roared and stretched its two tentacles into the sea.

However, the white spirit fire remained unaffected in the azure sea.

That's not surprising; many spirit fires are not afraid of water.

The giant octopus naturally had a backup plan.

A flash of demonic energy appeared on its body, and instantly layers of frost formed on the sea surface within a radius of a thousand feet.

Just then, a sea breeze blew by, and a wisp of cold air fell on True Monarch Rift Sky, who was downwind, causing him to shiver.

Later, an unlucky Golden Core disciple was directly affected by the aftershocks, and half of his body instantly froze into ice.

Thankfully, his head wasn't frozen in, so there's still a chance to save him.

Clearly, this is not ordinary frost at all, but one of the giant octopus's most powerful and secret spells.

As is widely known, most of the monsters that can grow up in the sea have mutated bloodlines.

If nothing unexpected happens, this domineering frost power should be a special ability brought about by the mutation of the giant octopus's bloodline.

However, even in ice layers hundreds of feet thick.

The bright white spiritual fire continued to burn along the tentacles all the way to the giant octopus.

"Fire burning in ice?"

Yunwo Zhenjun raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, staring at the scene before him in disbelief: "This is so fake!"

This scene is very eerie.

The flames leaping through the ice seemed like a false illusion projected from afar.

Because it didn't affect the surrounding frost at all, the entire ice layer remained intact.

If it weren't for the fact that True Monarch Yunwo was currently inside his own protective mountain formation, holding the main formation flag in his hand, he would most likely have suspected that he was under an illusion.

But the giant octopus could truly feel it.

This is not an illusion at all, but a deadly killing move!
His own flesh and blood were being burned to ashes inch by inch.

Its prized regenerative abilities, however, proved utterly useless against this eerie flame.

No, it even had the opposite effect!
The more vitality it poured into trying to heal its injuries, the more vigorously the white flames burned, almost like adding fuel to the fire.

In just a few breaths, it had already expanded to seven or eight hundred feet.

That is to say, the giant octopus was three thousand feet long, which was simply too enormous.

Otherwise, the white flames should have completely engulfed it by now.

"Click~!"

The white frost suddenly surged, freezing even part of the giant octopus's flesh and blood.

"Wow~!"

Immediately afterwards, the three tentacles slammed into the edge of the ice, shattering it on the spot.

It turned out that the giant octopus had smashed half of its own body to pieces. That's right, after realizing that it was helpless against this strange spiritual fire, it decisively chose the method of a warrior cutting off his own arm to stop the damage in time.

"You're injured, it's your fault, you deserve to die!"

The giant octopus, having caught its breath, glared fiercely at Xiao Chen.

It had already realized that the white flames were definitely related to this new face!

However, at the very moment their eyes met, it was horrified to discover that the other party seemed to be smiling easily, as if victory was already assured.

The next moment, a small white flame shot out from the giant octopus's body.

Then came the second, the third... countless flames instantly engulfed the remaining half of the body.

The entire giant octopus was completely enveloped in white flames.

This is not to say that its drastic measures were problematic.

It's just that we realized it too late.

It's important to know that the Big Dipper Spirit Fire is indeed very difficult to get onto an enemy.

However, once you get it on, it's not so easy to get rid of.

Because it can not only burn the skin, but also penetrate directly into the internal organs along the blood vessels.

Unless the ignited part is severed immediately, any subsequent struggle will be futile.

"ended."

Looking at the flames thousands of feet high in front of him, Xiao Chen felt a little regretful: "Actually, I didn't want to use this move, but I really had no other choice."

"Luckily, it wasn't the other two sea monsters that came today, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss."

This is the truth from his heart.

After all, once the Big Dipper Spirit Fire burns out, there will be nothing left, and no spiritual materials will be left.

The problem is, Xiao Chen is also reluctant to solve the problem when he clearly has the ability to do so.

In order to collect spiritual materials, they deliberately let the giant octopus go, watching it dismantle the great formation, and then went on a killing spree at the Cloud Wave Sword Pavilion.

Fortunately, among the three sea monsters, the giant octopus is the one that can be discarded relatively speaking.

After all, it doesn't have an outer shell, so if it burns, it's just burnt and it's not a big loss.

We just need to use a different approach when facing the other two giant sea monsters.

Yes, this is something we need to pay extra attention to.

Since the Sea God's Rune can appear here, the other enemy forces may also have one.

"Is this the end?"

Looking at the towering flames behind him, True Lord Hanchuan asked in bewilderment, "They've taken it down just like that?"

"What a domineering spirit fire!"

To be honest, he's completely bewildered right now.

After all, they had tried their best to fight, and even the mountain-protecting formation was somewhat helpless.

As a result, Xiao Chen's spiritual fire instantly reduced the giant octopus to ashes.

The difference before and after is just too great.

"Impossible, how is this possible?"

Gangyuan Zhenjun's expression changed drastically: "There are very few spiritual fires that can possess such power, not to mention this iconic white color."

"This is actually the long-lost Northern Dipper Demon Fire!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Hanchuan was taken aback: "The Northern Dipper Demonic Fire? Senior Brother, do you know the origin of this fire?"

Gangyuan Zhenjun glanced at Xiao Chen.

Then he began to explain: "Back then, when I went to the Three Mountains Grotto Heaven, I read some ancient books left over from ancient times."

"It mentions this special fourth-order spirit fire."

"It is said that the Big Dipper Demon Fire first appeared in the ancient first demon sect, the Star Sacrifice Demon Gate."

"Later, as the Star Sacrifice Demon Sect collapsed, its whereabouts gradually became unknown."

"Although it only ranks in the middle among fourth-tier spirit fires overall, it has almost no special effects or extra bonuses in alchemy and weapon crafting."

"But they are known for their ferocity, and they specialize in killing living beings."

"If it gets on a living thing, it will burn the entire flesh and blood of the creature to ashes."

"In terms of destructive power alone, it is second only to the legendary invincible fourth-tier Flame Heart Earth Flame, making it the second most powerful fourth-tier spirit fire, even surpassing the Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash."

He said other things that were not quite easy for Han Chuan Zhenjun to understand.

But when he heard about Qingyu Burning Heaven Ashes, he immediately understood.

After all, they had only faced the Golden Phoenix a few months ago and were deeply impressed by its domineering flames.

"It's even more powerful than the Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ashes. No wonder it can suppress that almost unreasonable regenerative power."

True Monarch Liekong suddenly realized, and then exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Xiao would have such methods."

"It's simply unfathomable!"

"I wonder how many special talismans or trump cards he still possesses."

Heaven have mercy, as a newly promoted True Lord, he currently only possesses a spirit shield given to him by True Lord Gangyuan, and two golden talismans given to him by True Lord Hanchuan.

Apart from that, they have no other trump cards to save their lives.

He needs to figure out how to prepare it himself.

Seeing Xiao Chen's endless array of protective techniques, she naturally felt envious.

At the same time, there was also a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Xiao is considered half one of us, and he has used these methods to deal with the sea race.

What if he's an enemy?

If the sea tribe hadn't chosen the Zhaokong Sect, but instead sent someone to contact and bribe Xiao Chen first...

The consequences would have been unimaginable; perhaps now only Pudu Temple remains standing in the entire Cibei Sea.

We should try to think positively.

"ended."

Yunwo Zhenjun only relaxed completely after watching the white spiritual fire extinguish: "It's finally over. It was almost a disaster."

If Xiao Chen hadn't taken out the Big Dipper Spirit Fire just now.

He really didn't know what to do.

After all, he had already tried every possible method.

They even went so far as to use mid-grade spirit stones to activate the mountain-protecting formation to attack, but all their efforts were in vain.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, he will have no choice but to wake up True Lord Die Lang and True Lord Lu Shuang, who are currently in seclusion to heal their wounds.

Then, they tried to evacuate their disciples as much as possible, preparing for the worst.

Once it reaches that point, it will inevitably affect the future of True Lord Die Lang and True Lord Lu Shuang.

After all, fighting with injuries can leave behind more complex long-term effects.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen intervened in time and saved everything.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, we are truly grateful to you for turning the tide this time!"

Yunwo Zhenjun turned to look at Xiao Chen, his eyes filled with deep gratitude: "If it weren't for you, my Sword Pavilion's ten-thousand-year foundation would have suffered an unforeseen disaster today."

"Fellow Daoist, your kindness and virtue are beyond compare. On behalf of everyone at Yuntao Sword Pavilion, I express my deepest gratitude!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

"At the same time, on behalf of Senior Brother Lüshuang, I would like to express my gratitude to you fellow Daoists!"

"From this moment forward, Fellow Daoist Xiao will be the most honored guest of my Cloud Wave Sword Lodge."

"If you ever need our help in the future, please don't hesitate to give the order. We will go through fire and water for you."
