Man on the ark, forced to become king

Aside from those special weapons, death magic can achieve the same effect.

The spirit fire from the Land of the Dead is specifically designed to target souls. No matter how strong the physical body is, once the soul is destroyed, it will turn into an immobile lump of flesh.

Furthermore, the evil god's flames wielded by the giants can burn using life force as fuel. No matter how strong a demon's life force is, it is impossible for it to withstand the continuous burning of the evil god's flames.

Firewood and candles will eventually burn out. When life ends, nothing will remain but a handful of ashes. The Sarkaz mercenaries have already proven this to themselves.

In addition, the Blood King's Blood Prayer also has the effect of draining life force.

And... the most uncontrollable crimson corruption.

That is a power that even gods cannot resist, capable of corroding all things. When stained with scarlet, even hard rocks and inanimate objects will decay. Once the scarlet flower blooms beyond the realm, no matter how powerful the alien species is, it will only face the fate of corruption.

Of course, that would most likely not be a good thing for the world.

The horror of the crimson corruption directly led to the destruction of Galid; in this context, the entire continent of Terra might have been destroyed.

Fire and water can combat corruption, but in this world, no one has mastered the Flowing Water Sword, and only two people have mastered the power of fire. If the range is too large, Lin Lu doesn't think she can stop it on her own, and W is not even worth mentioning.

Therefore, Lin Lu never intended to use corrupting power beyond her control in this world, nor did she intend to give this power to anyone.

"That's right. Although demons are powerful, they are still mortal beings. Otherwise, how could the Great Yan Dynasty possibly contend with them?"

"If that's the case, perhaps Golden Tree and Yan Country have a lot of business to discuss."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

The old master raised an eyebrow, put down his teacup, and became even more interested.

Judging from this, does the Golden Tree perhaps have a way to deal with those alien demons?

"The Celestial Master sought thunder magic simply to deal with alien demons. However, thunder magic is difficult to learn, and the thunder of the Golden Tree is even more so. Even if it were given to the Great Yan, I'm afraid few people would be able to learn it."

Lin Lu smiled faintly, looking directly at the old master with full confidence.

"What I mean is, thunder magic can be exchanged for the Great Yan, and celestial masters can learn it. For those who cannot learn thunder magic, the Golden Tree also has a way to enable them to master the power that can directly extinguish life."

"This...may I have the honor of seeing it?"

The old master knew that thunder magic was difficult to learn. No one in the world understood thunder magic better than him. This exchange was also a long-term plan. If one year wasn't enough, then ten years; if ten years weren't enough, then a hundred years. Eventually, someone would be able to learn it. His old bones could hold on for a while longer. As long as he had that thunder magic, there was hope, which was much better than just going downhill.

But... a spell that extinguishes life?

Such a thing does exist, and the Witch King of Letania was extremely skilled in it. However, the flaws of that spell are also obvious: it directly distorts people's minds, making it completely impractical for dealing with demons who already possess the ability to bewitch.

He had never heard of a spell without side effects before.

"Of course, inspecting the goods, what's wrong with that?"

Call ~

As they chatted and laughed, Lin Lu raised her finger, and a black and white flame emerged from her fingertip. It grew larger in the wind, burning into a fireball the size of a fist, before floating up and hovering in her palm.

"Master, what do you think of my fire?"

"What...what kind of fire is this?!"

Witnessing the flames engulf him, even with centuries of composure, the old master couldn't maintain his composure for a moment. His lowered eyes widened suddenly, and his face showed surprise.

He sensed extreme danger from that fire!

At his level, there are very few things that can make him feel threatened by death. How could this small flame have such power?

Why would the Golden Tree, which possesses the power of life, have such a profound understanding of death?

But the old master soon understood.

Upon closer examination, it doesn't seem unreasonable. Isn't death the opposite of life?

What can give life can also cause death!

Perhaps the true power of the Golden Tree lies in the two opposing yet inseparable forces of life and death!

So, can flames that directly touch death kill the alien species?

The answer is yes. Even the most resilient alien species, as long as they are still made of flesh and blood, cannot resist the power of death!

Could it be that the Golden Tree has a way to enable the soldiers of the Great Yan to also master this flame?

Thinking of this incredible possibility, the old master's breathing became rapid.

"This is black flame."

Lin Lu held the flame in one hand, black and white intertwining in her palm. Although it was fire, it seemed to have no temperature at all.

It also has another name, which is—

"The Flame of the Hunting Gods".

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Meaning of Gold, Guests and Host Enjoy Themselves

Hunting the Flames of the Gods?

How arrogant!

The mighty Yan Dynasty, spanning thousands of years, only witnessed that one unprecedented and unparalleled war against the gods.

With the full strength of the nation, man versus god!

After decades of such devastation, with bones littering the fields and blood flowing like rivers, only then could they dare to call themselves the God of Hunting!

How dare this tiny black flame claim to be hunting gods?

"Ha, God, it's not a big deal."

It's normal to disbelieve upon hearing this suddenly. Lin Lu didn't take it seriously. She gently released the flames as her fingers swept across the flames, creating a long line of fire that stretched out in the air. The white flames gradually weakened, while the black flames surged.

In an instant, the old master felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his face twitched, and his hands on the table suddenly tightened. The sense of crisis that filled his heart rose again and again!

The fire grew even stronger!

Such power was enough to completely incinerate the remains of the alien species, leaving no possibility of resurrection!

So, does it even matter what name you have?

If I could master this method of cultivating fire, I could hunt down gods, and this thing could even be called the eternal supreme and number one fire of all time.

No matter what he's called, the Old Master applauded!

But the world is complicated, and every action has its cause and effect. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

The fire of death, never before heard of!

What price would Yan Kingdom have to pay to obtain it?

"Mr. Lin intends to sell this Flame of Hunting Gods to the Yan Kingdom?"

In times of great events, one must remain calm!

Centuries of experience and shrewdness allowed the old Celestial Master to quickly regain his composure. He stroked his beard with one hand and asked in a deep voice.

"It's not for sale, it's for your use."

Lin Lu shook her head and chuckled softly, and the black and white flames quietly dissipated.

“Those who are not of the Golden People cannot master the Flame of Hunting Gods, but I have a way to make it into an object so that the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom can also use it.”

This is obviously false. Although the people of the Borderlands are different from the Terrans, the power of black flames can still be learned if someone teaches them. Chen and W have already proven with their own experience that the Terrans can learn the prayers of the Borderlands.

However, Lin Lu had no intention of directly passing on the cultivation method of the Black Flame; at least not now.

The current Golden Tree is not strong enough, and it's better to keep all the methods in the hands of our own people.

Therefore, he planned to house the black flames within an object, similar to the Hunting God Greatsword, which could be used simply by mastering the method. It would need to be replenished by the Golden Tree every so often, ensuring that the Yan Kingdom could use it without losing control.

Anyway, Yan Kingdom isn't invincible against alien species; the only problem is that they don't have a good way to limit the alien species' resurrection ability. The black flames produced in this way have limited power, but they are enough to deal with the remains.

"What are the people of gold?"

The old master's eyes flashed, sensing that he had seized an opportunity to explore the secrets of the golden tree, and he quickly pressed for more information.

"The people of gold are those who have received the blessing of the golden tree. Only in this way can they learn the many secrets of my golden tree, including the flames of hunting gods."

“Accepting a blessing means joining the Golden Tree. What can be given can also be taken back, and there are also restrictions on the blessing. The Celestial Master should be aware of this.”

"To be more specific, what benefits do you gain from becoming a citizen of the Golden Age?"

If it's just a few restrictions, then it's completely insignificant.

So what if we're controlled by the Golden Tree?

We can train a special group of people; being stationed at Yumen Pass, surrounded by powerful individuals, we can keep them firmly under control.

Yan Kingdom doesn't need many highly skilled experts; just someone capable of completely killing a severely injured alien species is enough.

If the benefits are sufficient, then cooperating with the Golden Tree to create a group of Golden People to deal with the war in the northern border would be more in Yan Kingdom's interest.

After all, artifacts rely on external objects and have too many uncertainties. Moreover, the Northern Frontier is far from Longmen and there are too many variables. That battlefield cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

Moreover, the concept of restrictions... Yan Kingdom has a long history, and the Celestial Master's Mansion is inclusive and has countless secret techniques. It's not impossible that they have a way to deal with them.

"Benefits? There are plenty."

Golden leaves twirled and fell onto the table, shimmering and sparkling.

Pointing to the leaf, Lin Lu smiled and asked, "What did the Celestial Master sense from this leaf?"
