Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 112 The Explosive, Ktugya!

The terrifying power of the flames seemed poised to engulf the entire world.

Centered on the sacred remains, the power began to spread outwards in a ring shape, as if originating from the extreme heat of the deepest part of the universe. Even Xu Yuan, who was at the Meridian Connection Realm, could not resist it by circulating all his star power and was directly blown away by the heat wave.

"Be careful!"

Unable to change anything, he could only shout.

"not good!"

At the same time, Sikong Zhen, who was at the very center of the flames, reacted immediately. However, the speed at which the flames swept through was countless times faster than he had imagined. As a result, he only had time to pour all his star power into the protection of the [Earth Spirit] itself and was unable to make any other defenses.

In the blink of an eye, all the so-called realm of meridian opening, the body forged by star power, the protection of the earth spirit, everything was like burning white paper under this attack of flames, burned to ashes.

Sikong Zhen, the patriarch of the Sikong family, died so casually.

Similarly, Lin Yuan, who was also within the blast radius, was also reduced to ashes.

"Boom!"

As if a volcanic eruption had occurred, all the stalactites and stalagmites in the underground cave melted into liquid at that moment.

Inside the cave, regardless of whether they were near or far, high or low, all martial artists who had not reached the Sitting Illumination Realm were instantly turned into black ash by this terrifying power. Even the bones of those martial artists who had been repeatedly tempered were reduced to nothingness in the face of this ancient flame, like snow falling into a furnace.

"Junior Sister!"

"No!"

Qin De's eyes widened in horror as he watched helplessly as Liu Sujun, who had been fighting the mutated king just a moment before, was engulfed by the flames. He stretched out his hand in sorrow and helplessness, but there was nothing he could do to change anything.

If he hadn't been protected by Pei Jinghe, who was at the upper level of the Meridian Opening Realm, with his star power, he probably wouldn't have escaped death either.

Even so, like many others, his skin was scorched and cracked by the high temperature in an instant, revealing his withered bones and muscles. He was teetering on the brink of collapse, with only half a breath left in his throat.

The indiscriminate flames also caused heavy losses to the Soul Eater side. The mutants and Voodoo Cult members they released were burned to ashes.

Above the pit, Lan Yue and Xia Yuan were the first to notice this.

...The relic went berserk, and it failed...

'

After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he and Lan Yue both stopped their attacks at the same time, and their domain power spread downwards.

After confirming the state of the Holy Relic, the former knew that his plan had failed and that he had to take Lin Lu and Shi Hun away.

The latter separated a portion of the area, protecting everyone else present while also preventing the flames from spreading further outwards.

A minute later, the terrifying flames finally stabilized under Lan Yue's control.

Xia Yuan, who was standing before them, had vanished without a trace.

After confirming everything, Lan Yue sat cross-legged on the spot and began to draw upon the power of the Azure Sea to envelop the entire contaminated area.

Having primarily cultivated water-attribute techniques, she was naturally the nemesis of this flame, and thus she would seize this opportunity to extinguish it completely!

The remains were in the cave at that time.

Xu Yuan was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and was no longer able to return from afar.

The only four survivors were Jiang Feng, Zhang Ruanruan, and Lin Lu, all at the Body Tempering Realm, and Fang Ruo, who narrowly escaped death but was protected by Jiang Feng's Dark Descendant Divine Blood and held on until the Lan Yue Domain covered her in time.

But none of the four of them were feeling well.

Fang Ruo didn't need to say much. Fortunately, Jiang Feng had the first ability of the Power of Blood Bone Reforging, plus the terrifying revitalizing power of the Darkborn Blood, and the ultimate defense of the Mythical-level equipment, the Overlord Blood Armor, which allowed him to barely resist the flame.

In the critical moment, Lin Lu also used her powers to disappear into the shadows, but since the flames could even burn through the cave, she was naturally not in much better shape and was in a sorry state.

As for Zhang Ruanruan...

As the "guide to the sacred remains," perhaps because it already possessed some of its power within its body, it suffered the least damage despite being at the center of the explosion.

And amidst this violent tremor, she awoke.

The light returned to her eyes, and she looked around blankly. First, she saw Fang Ruo and Lin Lu, who were dressed in rags, and then she saw Jiang Feng, who was in relatively good condition.

In the blink of an eye, memories of the time before she lost consciousness flooded her mind.

She remembered everything.

Then, she looked down at the culprit who had caused all of this at her feet.

I roughly understand everything.

"Snap!"

She broke free of the ropes and fell down.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Feng gulped down five bottles of purified water like he was drinking water, and when he saw Zhang Ruanruan wake up, he shouted loudly.

"Huh! Huh!"

A piercing and eerie sound suddenly rang out in the stuffy and silent cave.

The four of them tensed up suddenly, their gazes falling on the sacred remains.

Then, in full view of everyone, a ball of flame floated out from the crack.

No... that's not the "flame" in human perception.

Its form is constantly collapsing and recombining, presenting a dazzling, morbid, eerie color that is a mixture of orange-red and dark purple.

That wasn't light produced by burning, but some kind of cosmic radiation capable of directly igniting the soul and reason. Within this twisted, enormous swarm of flames, countless dark spots, like malevolent eyes, churned and perished violently.

Each flicker of the speckle was accompanied by a soul-chilling crackling sound, as if billions of creatures were desperately howling in the flames.

Just one glance is enough to make you feel as if something in your brain is melting away.

Everyone avoided eye contact with him.

"What exactly is this thing?" Jiang Feng asked Lin Lu in shock.

"whee."

Even now, Lin Lu, this madwoman, can still laugh. "You haven't even told me where the powers within your body come from, so why should I tell you anything about them?"

Jiang Feng was taken aback by what he was told.

"It's Ktugya."

At that moment, Zhang Ruanruan's cold voice rang out.

Whether it was because she had absorbed some of Ktugya's memories, or because as the Water Saintess she had once been familiar with the beliefs of the Voodoo Cult, she explained to everyone: "This is the remains of Ktugya, one of the thirteen Great Old Ones worshipped by the cult, the one who dwells in fire."

"He is the oldest and most violent malice in the starry sky. Just looking at his form is enough to make the human brain boil like boiling water, and reason turns into charcoal in an instant."

"His original body came from the Fomalhaut Monastery, which is extremely far away from the Southern Star Region. He was killed by a god in the battle between humans and the Sea of ​​Dark Matter, and his main body turned into countless fragments and remnants that fell into the sea of ​​stars."

"I think a part of it is buried in Donglin."

After Zhang Ruanruan finished speaking, Lin Lu clicked her tongue.

"Ktugeya..." Jiang Feng murmured the name in his heart.

As someone who possesses the soul of a true dragon, he is also the master of flames.

However, as things stand now, there is still a gap between the two in terms of status.

Looking at the ball of fire floating in front of him, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

What would happen if I used the Purgatory Dragon Soul to make contact with it?

After all, that was just the remains of Ktugya, not the real thing.

Just as he was lost in thought—

"Boom!"

'

The altar floor suddenly began to shake violently.
