The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The once noisy Dark Outer Sea has now fallen into tranquility—the ubiquitous elemental reactions have ceased.

As for why? Yu Jin looked at the air, which was distorted by the high temperature, and then turned his head to look into the distance.

He could sense that the primal elemental forces had calmed down. Not only that, but endless fire elemental forces began to converge towards a certain point, as if that were the true source of the fire element.

"You all need to hide inside my body!" Upon seeing this, Yu Jin didn't waste any more words and directly released some of the restrictions, absorbing the black knives into his body.

"Hoo—" Yu Jin exhaled a deep breath, and large plumes of black smoke accompanied by sparks shot out.

Then came the sound of fierce flames burning. In just an instant, an aura as powerful as the one from afar emanated from the embers, dispelling all the mist.

At this moment, Ember held a massive iron block, much longer than himself, in both hands. Both the weapon and the armor bore traces of melting and burning.

Greatsword—a massive and rugged iron sword. Extremely heavy, it can be used to sweep away enemies. A weapon that surpasses the limits of human wielding, it can also be used to kill non-human beings.

At this moment, Ember is in his strongest state since arriving in this world, and the guy in front of him is worth dealing with.

The Black Blades might be able to kill it, but the cost would likely be the deaths of several of them. Therefore, to avoid that situation, Ember felt it was better to go himself.

Besides, I haven't stretched my muscles and bones in a long time since I came into this world. I need to have a good fight in the Dark Sea to prevent osteoporosis later on.

In the distance, after sensing the immense aura of the embers, a giant dragon flew out from the deep sea.

As soon as it appeared, the fire elemental power that had been gathering for a long time seemed to have found a place to go, and was completely absorbed into its body.

"Boom!" The dragon had completely transformed into a fire dragon! Its body, which was several times larger than Oser's, was now completely engulfed in flames, with scales that were both pitch black and fiery red beneath the flames.

The dragon's head has multiple horns on its head, and the endless fire elemental power flows into the dragon's body through these giant horns.

The flames burned fiercely, making it impossible to distinguish whether they were tongues of fire or the feathers dancing on the dragon's body.

However, what is unsettling is that the originally crimson dragon horns on the top of the fire dragon's head have now mostly turned black and twisted.

It had dragon horns that grew curved and pierced into its neck. As an elemental creature, a fire dragon should not bleed, but now its entire body was covered in a black, viscous, ominous substance.

They were repelled by some force, but they clung tightly to the fire dragon's body, always looking for an opportunity to burrow back into its body.

It was obvious that the forces invading from beyond the world had gained the upper hand. At this moment, the fire dragon was filled with madness and chaos, devoid of any reason.

"Kill...kill me!" A broken, hoarse voice came from the fire dragon's mouth, as if it took a great deal of effort just to utter a single sentence.

"Is he a creature corrupted by the abyss of this world?" Yu Jin glanced at the fire dragon in the distance, its two powers intertwined, and felt a pang of emotion.

It seems that the abyss of this world is not to be underestimated, as it can even erode the pinnacle of elements to this extent.

"However, I've heard that the death of a demon god is troublesome; if you were to die, the trouble would probably be even greater," Yu Jin said with a smile, looking at the fire dragon that had once again lost its senses in the distance.

"So, let's have a little friendly competition."

Chapter 85 Eat My Duck and Have Fun!

2023-08-28

"Roar!" The fire dragon roared, and the flames on its body suddenly rose up. Huge fireballs detached from the rising flames and rushed towards the tiny embers with unparalleled speed.

The scene before my eyes was like a meteor falling to earth. The fireballs descended from the sky with long, narrow tails of flame, each one creating a huge crater several kilometers in size on the surface of the dark outer sea.

Everything was exploding, everything was roaring. The turbulent waves of the outer sea that had been raging before now seemed so weak.

"Alright!" Watching the fireball flying towards him, Ember gripped the hilt of his greatsword tightly with both hands and swung it at the distant fireball.

The power of wind began to gather on the heavy blade, and when the embers were fully swung, a pure white vacuum blade detached from the blade.

The wind blade grew larger and larger until it could cleave the sea and sever mountains.

Vacuum Blade – a lost combat technique of ancient heroes, where the sword is raised to create a vacuum state, then transformed into a vacuum blade and released forward.

This was originally a combat technique exclusive to medium and large-sized weapons, but Ember used a greatsword, which is an extra-large weapon, to unleash it.

The reason is simple: practice makes perfect.

The enormous vacuum blade seemed unstoppable, shattering fireballs and splitting the sea surface wherever it passed.

This vacuum blade, stretching from the sky to the sea, continued its relentless charge towards the fire dragon that was twisting and turning in the air in the distance.

"Bang!" The vacuum blade struck the fire dragon, producing only a dull sound before falling silent.

It seems that the flames attached to the dragon's body have considerable defensive capabilities.

Seeing that its first attack had failed, the fire dragon launched another attack. This time, the giant horns on its head began to gather power, and crimson and jet-black light shone on its body simultaneously.

The restless fire elemental power began to compress and compress within its mouth. Moreover, the flowing flames were also tinged with the abyssal power emanating from the depths of the fire dragon's body.

Ember naturally wouldn't let him finish charging up just like that. Generally speaking, once this kind of move is interrupted, the user needs a long time to recover.

But the enraged fire dragon clearly didn't give Ember that chance. The flames that engulfed its body rose again, this time not into fireballs, but into undulating ripples.

Crimson ripples expanded and oscillated around the fire dragon. Solid walls of fire swept across, shearing away a layer from the sea surface.

Ember tried to approach the fire dragon, but the ripples were not only solid, but also vibrated at an extremely high frequency. Although they couldn't harm him, they were enough to repel him.

Ember stopped some distance away and nodded slightly. That guy in the distance liked to charge up his power. Perfect, he liked to charge up his power too.

Then Ember made a series of dazzling movements.

First, I swear an oath in gold!

Ember knelt on one knee, then suddenly rose, raising his right hand above his head. Golden highlights shone on the dim, dark sea, inspiring all who beheld them.

The Golden Tree Oath—one of the prayers of the Golden Tree faith. It can include surrounding allied characters, increasing their attack and defense.

This ancient prayer, passed down through generations of knights in the royal city, is said to have boosted the morale of the knights on expeditions.

Secondly, Xia Bolili's roar, he went mad!

"Ah—" Yu Jin covered his eyes with both hands and let out a series of mocking and manic shouts.

Then, one after another, solid orange-yellow ripples spread out from the embers, directly confronting the fire dragon's crimson ripples; that was the manifestation of the power of the Mad Fire.

Shapolili's Roar—originating from the prayer of the Mad Three Fingers. It unleashes a mad roar, causing those around it to accumulate madness gauges. The executor themselves also accumulates madness gauges and becomes more vulnerable to enemy attacks.

It is said that Chapolili was the cause of epilepsy and is the most hated man in history.

The fire dragon in the distance saw the roaring embers, and even though it was out of its mind, it suddenly felt that the embers were incredibly annoying.

This caused its already nearly fully charged attack to fall into fluctuations once again.

However, Ember paid no heed to the dragon's condition. He held a shield in his right hand and a staff in his left. With his right hand raised high, the jellyfish shield turned crimson, and Ember himself became enraged.

Resonant Fury – A combat skill that evokes the rage of a jellyfish, allowing you to feel its fury as well. Increases attack power for a certain period.

Yu Jin felt very angry. He was about to go back when this powerful guy suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Influenced by his emotions, he drank the elixir faster. Yu Jin took out a elixir bottle with a narrow neck and a large belly, and drank the elixir inside.

A massive amount of magic power escaped from the elixir that Ember had drunk, allowing him to focus on magic power consumption for a period of time.

Blue Secret Dewdrops – crystallized dewdrops formed over a long period of time in the blessed land of the Golden Tree.

After being added to the "Holy Grail Bottle," all Focus points will be reduced to zero. The effect will disappear after a short time.

Finally, Ember placed the reddened jellyfish shield behind him and cast spells with both his right and left hands simultaneously.

He raised his left hand high, and a complex blue magic circle appeared in the sky above his feet.

The Realm of Magic—one of the Radiant Stone Magic techniques at the Magic Academy of Realucaria. It allows one to draw the academy's magic circle on the ground, and those within the circle can enhance their magical power.

This was a magic circle that, in the past, started from the academy's tallest clock tower and covered the entire academy grounds. A vivid experience of success is like an inspiration that can be grasped instantly—it can turn a baby who can't yet walk into a magician.

By this time, Ember's body was shimmering with various colors, making him look like a rainbow person.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. These buffs might not have been of much use to him before, but it's hard to say now.

When dealing with the guy in front of us, it's best to have an extra layer of protection.

"Bang!" Although it sounds complicated, it didn't actually take long to gather its strength. The fire dragon finally spat out a thick beam of light, formed from condensed fire elemental power.

Above the pale pillar of flame, countless streams of dark light swirled, adding a touch of taboo to this world-destroying beam of light.

"Eat my duck and have fun!!!" Ember roared, also sending out his right staff.

The vast, boundless magic transformed into a pillar of emerald green light, fearlessly meeting the sweeping beam of light.

"Boom!!!" The primal fire element collided with the turbulent currents of the otherworldly starry sky, and the immense force directly split the sea in two.

There was nothing around the fire dragon and the embers except for them; everything was destroyed by these two enormous forces, even the elemental forces that permeated the heavens and earth.

Countless colorful auroras rose from the sky above, and the dark clouds that had always shrouded the outer sea were broken, allowing the long-awaited sunlight to shine on the ocean.

The embers and the fire dragon were locked in a stalemate, each testing their endurance. The fire dragon's body was undergoing a mutation, possibly due to the corruption of the abyss.

With such a massive flow of elemental power, the dragon's horns, which had remained steadfast, suddenly broke off.

The beam of light paused for a moment before inevitably being swallowed up by the stellar torrent.

Amidst the deafening roar, the sound of tiny glass shattering could be heard. The dragon's horns had all broken off, and correspondingly, the pillar of light gradually shrank until it vanished completely.

The emerald green torrent of starlight crashed against the fire dragon's body, extinguishing the flames that had been burning fiercely on its surface.

"Roar!" The fire dragon finally stopped its madness and let out a painful roar. Comet Azle had almost cut its entire body in half.

On the verge of death, the madness that had been entangled the fire dragon finally ceased to rob him of his sanity, and the fire dragon's eyes regained their clarity.

"You...you're really strong, haha, no wonder...no wonder I lost." With each sentence, the fire dragon's momentum weakened.

“No.” Ember flew to the front of the fire dragon, stared at its huge head and said, “It’s not that I’m stronger, but that when we clashed, you were standing on the left.”

Since ancient times, it has been said that one loses when facing the left side of the wave. This is an experience that Yu Jin and others have summarized over many years regarding the wave.

And this time, it worked just as well.

"???"

Chapter 86 Past Events of the Sun and Moon

2023-08-28

On an ice floe in the dark outer sea, a giant dragon thousands of meters long lay dying, on the verge of death.

The broken scales on its body and the huge gaping hole that almost split it in two told the story of the terrible ordeal it had just experienced.

Even the feathers that used to dance with the flames were now dull and lifeless, looking like red weeds growing on the dragon's body.

"Hey! Brother, don't die!" On the dragon's head, a leaping figure was saying something to the giant dragon.
