2044 Blood Sea Monarch (1/2)

The Yin-Yang Sword Technique was like Qingfeng Li's Killing God Lance. Since he'd learned two attacks of the Killing God Lance, its power had increased twofold. Its offensive power had grown to an extent that it was unmatched within the same Realm.

However, it could only be used once. Any more than that would result in immense, sometimes irreversible, damage to his own body.

Black Puppy wagged its tail as it padded up to Qingfeng Li. ”You don't need to act so depressed,” it said. ”Although it's only one strike, it's still the strike of a Saint. No one can stand in your way.”

Black Puppy had full confidence in Qingfeng Li's abilities. During their journey together, Qingfeng Li had always been able to best his foes.

Beside them, Sky-Devouring Snake continued, ”Qingfeng Li, I believe that, with the Killing God Lance and the Yin-Yang Sword Techniques, you can kill even the Crimson Fire Monarch. While you do that, we'll deal with anyone else. As long as we do that, we'll be able to rescue Ruyan Liu and Little Apple for sure.”

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were both trying to comfort Qingfeng Li. However, he wasn't happy at all.

He shook his head. ”I feel that these sword techniques and the Killing God Law are all very strong. But there's a flaw with them. I don't have enough vital essence, so the power I can use is limited. If the enemy is at the half-saint Realm, I can naturally kill them with ease,” he said. ”What I'm most afraid of is that the Crimson Fire Monarch might reach the saint ream himself. If that's the case, he'd become an incredibly difficult opponent to defeat.”

Black Puppy shook its head. ”That's not likely,” it said. ”It's very hard to become a Saint. There hasn't been one on the Crimson Fire Continent for a hundred thousand years. Even the Sun Monarch, who'd had a Saint Realm master, never reached the Saint Realm himself. I find it hard to believe that the Crimson Fire Monarch could do so.”

Qingfeng Li smiled. ”Let's go,” he said. ”Let's hurry and fly to the Fire Monarch Mountain. I don't care if he's become a Saint or not. I'm going to kill him regardless and rescue Ruyan Liu and Little Apple.”

At this exact moment, something was happening atop the Fire Monarch Mountain. At over a hundred thousand meters tall, this was the tallest peak on the Crimson Fire Continent. This was also where the Ruler of the Crimson Fire Continent resided, a place that symbolized power and order.

At the top of the mountain, the Crimson Fire Monarch sat, cross-legged. His entire body was cloaked in flames.

Around the summit, crimson flames burned in all directions, blazing at extreme temperatures reaching ten thousand degrees. What's more, fire rained down continuously from the sky.

At ten thousand degrees, these flames would not lose to the golden flames in temperature in the slightest.

They were in the process of refining the Crimson Fire Monarch's body, eliminating all the impurities and imperfections within, purifying it all. His body was like a furnace, radiating an energy of awesome power.

At the center of the flames, the Crimson Fire Monarch sat with his hands loosely clasped. He was absorbing the flames, re-forging them as links in a chain.

The links were red in color. On their surfaces, fiery talisman scriptures glittered with Saint level Laws of the world. Together, they formed countless saint level chains that connected heaven and earth.

Within the Crimson Fire Monarch's body, a massive, fist-sized spirit nucleus was forming in his dantian, emitting a golden light.

Within the golden light was mixed strands of red. The two colors intermingled, their power supressing heaven and earth. Everyone in the area was thrown backwards. No one dared to approach the Crimson Fire Monarch.

Right now was a critical moment for the Crimson Fire Monarch. Just a bit more, a bit more, just a little bit more.

Rumble… rumble… rumble…
