Chapter 89: Chapter 77: Divine Transformation of Slaying Gods, Intent to Kill Decisive【4k】_3
Under the panel's repair, his body swiftly returned to its original state, wounds gradually healing, complexion rosy without a trace of scars.
Chu Zheng lay on his back, chest wide open, facing the starry sky, his breathing as loud and greedy as thunder as he drew in the thick air filled with the scent of rotten wood and leaves.
He was, after all, alive.
A battle-oriented Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, with a True Spirit revived, its combat strength, was unparalleled to that of a Pseudo-Immortal, and under its furious state, Fang Jiong was bound to die without question.
Suppressing the fierce beating of his heart, Chu Zheng sat up, and after sensing carefully for a moment, his mood once again plummeted.
Tribulation Qi was still churning around him, and although much of it had dissipated, it was not entirely gone, and the tribulation still held underlying threats.
The outcome of the tribulation was uncertain, with troubles still ongoing, and the possibility of it turning into a deadly tribulation remained.
And the most critical point had not been resolved...
Having sorted out the causes and consequences, Chu Zheng's thoughts became clearer, and a murderous intent once again surged in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment,
Chu Zheng stood up and cautiously opened a spatial channel, stepping into it.
In the desolate world, everything was scorched red, a sea of fire engulfed the heavens, nothing remained but a figure in green robes with white bones.
The red Lihuo Spear had expanded a thousandfold in size, akin to a pillar of the heavens, standing tall at the heart of the sea of fire.
Fang Jiong's presence was everywhere, in the sky, underground, in the air, with parts of his body scattered everywhere; the practitioner of Divine Fire was incinerated by Divine Fire, merged into the world, leaving no trace to be found.
"I knew you would come back."
A somewhat blurry figure over a meter tall floated in front of Chu Zheng, the voice resonating like a bell, deep and resonant, filled with the essence of time.
Without doubt, this was the True Spirit of the Lihuo Spear.
"I knew you were conscious before, and I hope you can forgive my previous offense."
Chu Zheng strived to calm his breath, and in just a few breaths, the residual heat had already scorched his throat.
"You are not afraid I will kill you?" the figure asked in a deep voice.
"If you kill me now, you will only be trapped in this world forever, unable to escape."
A Divine Weapon is, after all, a Divine Weapon, and not a living being, incapable of controlling or maneuvering Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Treasures, unless the Lihuo Spear can shed its shackles, cultivate a body of flesh and blood, and thus control the Condensing Space Bracelet.
This was even more difficult than ascending to immortality.
Threatening wasn't Chu Zheng's intention, and he quickly spoke again:
"Your old master is gone, and you're bound to seek a new master. Acting alone is too conspicuous, and you'll soon be noticed and harassed. I help you find a Fire Spirit Body, and you help me strike one more time, how about that?"
"I can protect myself," the figure remained unmoved.
"You must also know that the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture is the most suitable Cultivation Technique for a Fire Spirit Body."
Chu Zheng tried tentatively, observing the figure's reaction. Seeing it fall silent, a trace of joy couldn't help but flood his eyes:
"The Cultivation Technique is now in my mind. You need this scripture for a new master; you help me, I'll pass it on to your new master."
"..." The figure contemplated for a while, then nodding after a moment of contemplation:
"Agreed."
It was not versed in the ways of cultivation and couldn't teach others to cultivate; it needed someone to do it on its behalf. It could not seek the help of Taixuan Holy Land, for that would be walking into a trap, leaving it with no choice but to rely on Chu Zheng.
"Just this once."
Chu Zheng nodded; he needed to take care of Ling Qi before he returned to Tai Xu Holy Land, to eliminate the root of his troubles.
Otherwise, the secret of the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture couldn't be kept hidden, and it would still attract the people from Taixuan Holy Land. Without resolving this tribulation, endless troubles would follow.
