LOL: Let me touch your steel

Zhang Xu took a deep breath, held the sword in his hand, and walked slowly but firmly towards the altar above.

This stairway leading to ascension seems very far away, but in fact it does not take long.

Zhang Xu and Kasa quickly climbed up to the altar hand in hand, from where they could easily see all the scenes below.

This was the most important day in the restoration of Shurima to date, and all the important players were present.

Nasus, Renekton, Sivir... Zhang Xu even saw the huge figure of Ramos.

Just like he followed Empress Wu Setaka thousands of years ago, he followed Azir.

It seems that Ramos has found his loyalties again...

Feeling the sweat on Kasha's palm, Zhang Xu turned his head and gently squeezed her hand as if to comfort her:

"Don't be nervous. You just need to feel the flow of the Ascension Energy. As for the Void Energy... I will help you solve it."

Listening to Zhang Xu's comfort, Kasa's heart gradually calmed down and she nodded vigorously.

Zhang Xu and Kasa seemed to be ready.

At this moment, Azir finally slowly raised the scepter in his hand. This scepter is not only a symbol of power for the entire Shurima, but also the key to the Ascension Ceremony.

And Azir, holding the scepter, is now the only person in charge of the ascension ceremony in Shurima!

Accompanied by a low, incantatory voice in ancient Shurima coming out of Azir's mouth, the sky suddenly changed, and the sun above his head seemed to have magnified countless times in an instant!

An even more dazzling light poured down and landed on the towering ascension altar.

Azir began the ascension ceremony and summoned out the ascension energy.

The sun above his head, which had been magnified countless times, suddenly burst out with a light that almost covered everything, forming a beam of light that fell from the sky and landed vertically on the ascension altar!

Zhang Xu and Kasa's bodies were instantly enveloped by the beam of light.

In this bright beam of light, accompanied by a fiery texture, Zhang Xu saw a dancing flame.

A ball of fire was constantly growing larger in his sight and spreading towards him!

This is...

Fire of the sun!

Seeing the thick flames completely engulfing his body, Zhang Xu subconsciously frowned. Although the flames were hot, they did not feel unbearably scorching.

This ball of fire seemed to... merge into my body.

No, not to merge into your own body...

It's the eternal flame!

Zhang Xu noticed that this ball of scorching sun fire was directed entirely at him, and Kassadin beside him was not affected at all.

Only you are the 'target' of the Sun's Fire!

Feeling the burning heat coming from his chest and the desire for the Eternal Flame, Zhang Xu did not hesitate at all and released the Eternal Flame in an instant.

A ball of flame that was constantly leaping but not as bright as the sun's fire emerged from Zhang Xu's body and instantly merged with the sun's fire.

When the two completely different fires first merged, Zhang Xu could still clearly distinguish the difference between them and see their very obvious boundary.

But as time goes by, this boundary has become increasingly difficult to distinguish.

The two blazing flames seemed to be gradually merging!

......

Looking at the beam of light symbolizing ascension enveloping the bodies of Zhang Xu and Kaisa, a hint of emotion inexplicably flashed in Nasus' eyes.

Thousands of years have passed since he underwent the ascension ceremony...

It was a long time ago.

but...

Nasus could still remember everything that happened when he underwent the Ascension Ceremony. He could still remember the golden light from the sun shining on the altar at the last moment. He also clearly remembered the scene of his brother willing to die in order to save his own life.

It’s really unforgettable!

A sense of anticipation rose in Nasus' heart. He hoped that Zhang Xu and Kaisa's ascension ceremony could last a little longer... a little longer.

Thousands of ascension ceremonies have proved one thing: the longer the ascension ceremony takes, the more perfect it will be!

An outstanding man like Zhang Xu deserves a perfect ascension ceremony!

In addition to Nasus and Renekton, Sivir, who was one step behind the two, was also paying close attention. She stood side by side with Taliyah, staring at the ascension scene intently.

Although there is no way to see clearly what is happening inside through the dazzling beam of light, it can at least relieve the tension.

After all, after Zhang Xu...it’s their turn to undergo the ascension ceremony!

For those who were watching outside, the waiting time was long, but for Zhang Xu who was in the ascension ceremony, the fusion speed of the two flames was not slow.

Soon, Zhang Xu saw a brand new flame.

A ball of brand new flame that emits a dazzling red-gold light and leaps all the time!

The fusion of eternal flame and sun fire!

Watching the flame in front of him gradually shrink until it became a small leaping flame, Zhang Xu tentatively stretched out his hand.

The flame seemed to be attracted by something and returned to Zhang Xu's palm in a very human way, and then disappeared completely.

But Zhang Xu knew that it had not disappeared.

Feeling the warmth on his chest, Zhang Xu was slightly startled.

Although Zhang Xu had mastered the power of nothingness with the help of the ascending energy, in fact, nothingness still affected him all the time. Devouring was like an instinct engraved in his bones, driving him all the time.

Although the Eternal Flame can help him suppress this instinct, in fact this instinct is still there, but it is affected and hidden.

But the new flame formed by the fusion of Eternal Flame and Sun Fire can completely restrain this instinct!

I didn’t expect that after undergoing the ascension ceremony, I would receive such an unexpected surprise!

Chapter 165 The Dragon King's Gaze

The fusion of two fires really wasted a lot of time...

Next, it’s time to help Kaisa master the power of nothingness.

Zhang Xu's expression was stern, and he quickly approached Kasa under the cover of the beam. At this time, Kasa closed her eyes tightly, letting the ascension energy flow into her body, and she didn't even notice Zhang Xu's approach, as if her whole heart was immersed in the ascension ceremony.

When Zhang Xu placed his hands on Kasha's back, he realized how bad Kasha's condition was.

The ascension energy that flowed into Kassadin's body has spread to every corner of her body. Normally, at this time Kassadin's body should have been changed by the ascension energy and gradually transformed into the body of an ascender.

But at this moment, Kassadin still didn't change at all.

Ultimately, it’s because of the void energy hidden in Kaisa’s body.

Every time he made love with Kasa, he would inject a trace of the purest void energy into Kasa's body. This pure void energy was the power that Zhang Xu mastered. It was usually hidden in Kasa's body and would not cause Kasa discomfort, nor would it make Kasa experience the pain he had experienced before.

However, the influx of ascension energy caused the void energy to completely riot.

Although the amount of nothingness energy injected into Kassadin's body each time is not much, after such a long time, a considerable amount of nothingness energy has gathered in Kassadin's body.

This level of void energy riot is enough to tear anyone's will apart.

If we waste more time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, then flipped his palm, and a new flame produced by the fusion of the two fires instantly appeared in his palm.

What he needs to do now is to use the characteristics of the Eternal Flame to once again construct a stable triangular structure, so as to achieve a balance between the void energy and the ascension energy in Kassadin's body.

Just like he did himself.

With himself as a reference, maintaining the balance in Kassadin's body was much easier than Zhang Xu had imagined.

It didn't take much effort for Kassadin's condition to completely stabilize.

As the flames disappeared, Kassa slowly opened her eyes. The moment she opened them, a golden light flashed in her purple eyes!

The light flashed and disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

But Kassadin could clearly feel her transformation. There was an extremely powerful force in her body, but also an energy that was a bit chaotic to her.

"Is this... Void Energy and Ascension Energy?"

Sensing her current state, Kassa blinked her eyes curiously.

This situation is better than ever before!

It's completely not on the same level as the power I possessed before!

Is this the power that Zhang Xu possesses?

Kasa blinked with some joy and couldn't help but look at Zhang Xu.

She knew that her current strength was equivalent to a weakened version of Zhang Xu. But for her, as long as she could help Zhang Xu and catch up with him, it was enough!

Looking at Zhang Xu who was already immersed in the energy of ascension, Kassa's mouth corners slightly curled up, outlining a touch of beautiful charm.

......

----

In the dark starry sky, countless stars dot the sky, like a vast and boundless painting.

And in this beautiful picture, two bright stars suddenly light up, emitting charming light like two gems inlaid in the dark sky.

But the next moment, a terrifying body appeared out of thin air below the two bright stars!

That body was so huge that the stars in the sky seemed extremely small next to it. And the two "stars" that suddenly lit up were actually just a pair of his eyes!

The stars that are out of reach in the eyes of mortals are like toys that can be crushed at will in front of Him.

Fragile and small.

Aurelion Sol, the most omniscient and all-powerful being in the universe, existed long before mortals began to multiply on Runeterra.

Since his birth at the beginning of the Great Sigh, he and his kind have been roaming in the vast and empty primordial celestial realm, trying to paint miracles on this vast canvas and let the flickering spectrum bring achievement and joy to all witnesses.

He created the miraculous stars and spread His magnificent grace over the vast barren space.

Until He met that group of giant star spirits.
