Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 411 Bifang's Extraordinary Characteristics

The strange flames clung to the monster's body like maggots clinging to its bones.

It even felt as if the flames were burning out of the monsters' bodies, because many of the monsters were emitting smoke and fire from their seven orifices.

Higher-level monsters are alright; they can barely hold out for a little longer.

But those low-level monsters were burned to a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye, and even their bones were burned to a million holes.

Yes, it's riddled with holes.

The flames released by the divine bird named Bifang did not seem to burn in all directions, but rather selectively burned inside and outside the enemy's body. Moreover, the enemy could not block or stop this kind of burning.

"What...what kind of flame is this?"

Ma Tengyun stared in disbelief. Looking at the three star deities beside him, he noticed that although they still smelled delicious, they weren't as fragrant as before.

I must get a copy of the gold scroll [Bifang] to keep as a keepsake.

This is worth any price!

Not only him, but Xue Lingling and Tang Beng were also stunned by the terrifying power of [Bi Fang].

“That flame…something’s not right!” Tang Beng frowned. “It doesn’t look like a normal burning flame.”

Upon closer inspection, Xue Lingling vaguely discovered something: "It seems to be the burning of some spiritual substances and spiritual structures within the monster's body."

"What?" Tang Beng gasped.

Does it directly ignite the spiritual substances and structures within the body?
How can this be?

Wu Xian watched quietly as Bi Fang unleashed calamity-inducing fires upon the beast horde, his heart filled with shock.

I knew Bifang would be powerful, but I never imagined it would be this powerful.

In particular, the talent trait of "Wood Essence Transforms into Fire" is completely out of the ordinary.

That's right, the effect of wood essence turning into fire is that it can ignite all spiritual substances related to the wood element, thus fundamentally disintegrating the enemy.

Any substance containing spiritual elements related to the wood element will be directly burned and disintegrated by Bifang.

The spiritual substance of wood, as the most basic spiritual element, is also the "molecule" that makes up and constitutes many complex spiritual substances, such as wood, grass, vitality, toxicity, biomass, and even flesh and blood.

Many high-level spiritual substances contain the basic molecules of "wood essence".

Bifang's [Wood Essence Transformation into Fire] targets the [Wood Spirit Essence] itself. As long as a substance contains the [Wood Spirit Essence], it will be burned and disintegrated by Bifang's flames.

In addition, the inclusion of "fierce" elements in the design of the Bifang scroll seems to further enhance this ability.

To put it another way: as long as a substance contains carbon elements and carbon atoms, it can be directly burned by the Bifang Divine Fire.

Of course, the concept of "Wood Spirit Essence" is different from the concept of carbon element and carbon atom in my previous life, but they are similar in essence.

To put it simply, a diamond is like a piece of flammable "charcoal" in the face of the Bifang Divine Fire.

Of course, Bifang's incredible ability must have certain limitations, otherwise it would truly be invincible.

This power essentially relies on the refinement of Bifang's own laws and principles.

Theoretically speaking, the more complex and dense the [wood elemental essence] is, the more difficult it is to be burned by the Bifang Divine Fire.

It's like a question that circulated online in my previous life: Since the human body is nearly 80% water, why don't water mages directly manipulate the water inside their enemies to kill them?

In fact, it's not that water mages didn't think of this, but that ordinary water mages simply couldn't do it.

There are differences between different types of water, or rather, different forms of water.

The more tightly packed and complex the water molecules, the harder they are to control with magical power. Unless a water mage has comprehended and mastered the laws of water to a certain degree, they simply cannot control the water in the human body. It's like the difference between water in a basin and water in a wet towel; the difficulty of handling the two types of water is obviously different.

Therefore, Bifang's "Wood Essence Transformation into Fire" is not directly "invincible," and is essentially subject to the limitations of this law of heaven and earth.

The stronger the enemy, the denser the wood element within the body, and the more difficult it is to ignite.

The reason why Bifang is showing such terrifying destructive power at this moment is simply because the monsters in this wave of beasts are not of a very high level.

Just like those elite monsters in the beast tide, although they were also burning and in great pain, and their bodies were emitting the aroma of roasted meat, the damage effect was significantly less.

Even so, Bifang's power is astonishing and defies the heavens.

After all, this ability is basically impossible to defend against; it depends entirely on one's own level and the level of one's spirituality at the micro level. Even some attack energies containing wood-related spirituality will be burned away.

Moreover, this power is not only directed at otherworldly monsters and various substances.

Like a spirit that cannot escape the painting scroll.

After all, painting spirits are essentially special spirits composed of spiritual pigments. As long as the paint contains wood-related components, they cannot escape the threat of "wood spirit turning into fire".

It depends on the level, quality, spirituality, and skill of the spirit being drawn, as well as the strength of its legal lineage.

Before they knew it, the beast tide of hundreds of strange beasts had been almost completely wiped out by Wu Xian and his companions.

At least half of them were burned to death by Bi Fang.

It can only be said that fire-attribute scrolls are naturally designed for fighting groups, especially powerful beings like Bifang.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the enemy's level and spiritual density are within Bifang's kill range, it's all in vain. As long as they enter Bifang's ability range and attack range, they will be instantly incinerated.

The only drawback is that it will fundamentally destroy the spiritual structure and spiritual substances in the monster materials.

It may even cause some distortion and pollution.

After all, distortion and pollution are essentially a force that arises from the chaos of spiritual matter after the spiritual structure of matter is disintegrated, and the force of Bifang is essentially destroying the spiritual structure of matter.

It's normal for some distortion and contamination to occur.

After a wave of beasts, Bifang leveled up to six stars. When it comes to group players, leveling up is fast.

"I feel it's better to use it less often in normal times," Wu Xian said with a strange expression.

Bifang is great in every way, and it's very useful for bullying groups of monsters within the kill threshold. However, its damage output is a bit wasteful, leaving no materials behind, and it also generates some distortion and pollution.

Distortion and pollution are relatively easy to deal with; any batch of spiritual pigments produced would generate more distortion and pollution than this.

The key issue is that no materials were kept.

"This ability is too outrageous!" Tang Beng said incredulously. "It directly disintegrates the enemy at the spiritual level?"

Ma Tengyun wholeheartedly agreed, "So far, I've only heard of some top forces' trump cards having this kind of ability, but none of them are as simple, crude, and direct as Bi Fang."

"Do some of the top black scrolls also have the power to dismantle the spiritual level?" Wu Xian wondered.

“Hmm,” Ma Tengyun said, “Most scrolls that reach the Black Scroll level have this ability, but none of them are as direct as Bifang. It’s more like an extra effect produced by a higher law crushing a lower law.”

Wu Xian understood.

Simply put, the reason why those top-tier black scrolls can produce a spiritual level of disintegration is entirely due to the "great force that makes bricks fly" at the level of laws.

Unlike Bifang, which directly writes the ability to dismantle spirituality into its innate characteristics.
