The Divine Martial Stars
Chapter 1021 The Son of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless
Being roasted by flames was worse than death.
The golden light could only protect Yuan Hou from being burned to death in an instant. It let him bear the flames close to his limit. His body was constantly being roasted by the orange and strange flames, being destroyed and reborn.
Yuan Hou couldn’t even make a sound or move his finger.
He could only sit cross-legged on the spot and be trapped in the golden light. He ran the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method and kept cultivating to maintain his life so that he wouldn’t die.
No matter how much pain he had felt, he endured it.
As long as he was alive, he was hopeful of leaving alive.
“What should I do?”
Li Mu found his surroundings were empty, and he didn’t know how to leave.
It was difficult to distinguish directions in such a sea of fire. Therefore, he couldn’t even know where the gate of the Flame Pool Palace was.
The white shale was like duckweed in a turbulent stream. It kept drifting in the sea of fire. It seemed to be drifting very slowly. But soon, it drifted thousands of meters and passed through areas with different colors of flames.
“Each color represents a kind of Divine Fire or a kind of strange fire. There are more than a hundred kinds of flames stored in the Flame Pool Palace. Did the Cosmic Emperor Deathless gather all the flames and strange fires in the world?”
Li Mu calmed down and carefully observed the color and energy of each flame.
Fire was one of the five elements, and it was also one of the forms of the Taoist Principles in the world. By observing these flames, people could feel the laws of heaven and earth.
Of course, everyone knew these things.
Li Mu observed the flames to see if there were any clues.
Fortunately, the white shale had a magical effect. It could basically isolate the grilling of various Divine Fires. Therefore, Li Mu was not in danger for the time being.
“As long as I don’t encounter the Divine Fire that can burn a martial art emperor to death as Zhuge Yun said, there is still hope. Eh?”
As Li Mu was thinking, he suddenly felt a heat under his feet. He looked down and was shocked.
The white shale was smoking.
Then, it began to burn like a piece of ignited paper.
“What the hell is going on?”
He looked around.
It was not until this moment that Li Mu noticed that the flames around him had disappeared. A vacuum suddenly appeared in the sea of fire of various colors, revealing the black ground below. Strange patterns swirled on the ground. Obviously, it was some kind of powerful tactical deployment running to protect the Flame Pool Palace from the burning flames.
Since there was no flame, why did the white shale start to burn?
Moreover, it was strange that although there was a gap in the sea of fire, the surrounding temperature was rising wildly. The hot energy touched his skin like needles pricking him. His clothes were instantly turned into ashes, and he was naked.
Li Mu was shocked and ran his cultivation to resist.
“What’s going on? Eh? That’s…”
Li Mu suddenly saw a small flame, which looked like a candle, flickering slightly in mid-air in the center of the empty area of the sea of fire.
The center of the flame was orange. There were another four layers, which were silver, cyan, red, and blue, respectively. Each layer was wrapped in another layer. The flame flickered and jumped, which was extremely strange and beautiful.
The heat he had felt before was coming from this thumb-sized colorful flame.
Li Mu could feel his heart throbbing with anticipation.
“Could it be… Fuck!”
He realized that this must be the flame that could burn an emperor to death mentioned by Zhuge Yun.
“It must be.
“Only this kind of flame could make the other kinds of Divine Fire and strange fire around not dare to get close to it. They avoided it as if they had spirits.
“Oh, my god.
“Why did I encounter such a flame?”
Li Mu wanted to cry but had no tears.
“Am I so unlucky?”
He wanted to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, half of the white shale under his feet was burned. The left half seemed to be crazy and rushed to the colorful flame eagerly.
Before Li Mu could react, he was taken to the colorful flame.
Rumble!
The colorful flame burst out.
In an instant, the thumb-sized flame turned into a fireball with a diameter of four or five meters. It directly swallowed Li Mu and the white shale.
“I’m dying.”
Li Mu subconsciously closed his eyes and waited for death.
However, he didn’t feel any pain or lost consciousness immediately. Instead, Li Mu felt as if he had fallen into a hot spring. An extremely comfortable and warm feeling came to him, which made him feel so comfortable that he wanted to groan.
“What the hell is going on?”
Li Mu opened his eyes.
He found the colorful flame wrapping his body, and the white shale under his feet had burned into smoke and disappeared. The colorful flame was scary but not harmful to him.
“The flame that can burn emperors to death doesn’t work on me. How could it be?”
Li Mu was a little confused, but he was overjoyed.
“Am I the Good Fate Holder?
“Was I born to be the protagonist, so I came back to life?”
However, the next moment, he quickly rejected this idea.
He saw the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword, which was also known as Godbreaker, nourished in Gourd Used for Nourishing Weapons flew out. Countless golden light spots shaped like flying broadswords floated around his body, emitting an intimate aura and surrounding Li Mu.
“Does it have something to do with the Godbreaker?”
Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
“That’s right.
“The Godbreaker was refined by the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. This kind of flame is one of the treasures of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Both of them belonged to the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Therefore, there is some kind of magical connection between the two things. They don’t reject each other.
“Moreover, I’m the owner of the Godbreaker, so the third form of the Godbreaker has protected me. Am I right?”
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more correct he thought it was.
Except for this reason, Li Mu could not think of any other reason why he would not be burned to death by this colorful flame.
Moreover, Li Mu also found another strange thing.
The storage instruments, bracelets, and other things on him were directly turned into ashes. Only the Gourd Used for Nourishing Weapons was intact without a trace of scorched yellow.
The Gourd Used for Nourishing Weapons came from Liuyun Wufeng, the patriarch of the Liuyun family. It was used to store the Darkest Soul-devouring Fires before. Even the Sword Savant admired the gourd very much. It should be found by Liuyun Wufeng in the Darkest Temple. It was likely to belong to the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.
That was to say, the gourd would not be burned by the colorful Emperors’ Fire.
However, even so, this gourd was probably an extremely rare object. If it was just an ordinary object of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, it would not be able to resist the burning of the colorful flame. For example, the white shale had been burned to ashes instantly.
Having figured out these things and being protected by the Godbreaker, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, he had to think of a way to leave this place.
But soon, Li Mu found that it seemed impossible.
No matter how hard he tried to move, the five-colored Emperors’ Fire wrapped tightly around him as if it had become a part of his body. He could not get rid of it at all.
“What should I do? Even if it won’t burn me to death, I can’t let it follow me all the time.”
Li Mu was a little distressed.
Right at this moment, another unexpected event occurred.
The golden Godbreaker in the form of flying broadswords around him vibrated gently at the same frequency as if they were a group of spoiled children.
Then, the colorful Emperors’ Fire began to drill into Li Mu’s body.
It seeped into his body along his pores, mouth, nose, and facial features. It went in like air.
A burning force instantly spread out in all his limbs and bones.
Li Mu was startled at first. But soon, he found that the burning force was only thermal but not destructive. It did not even hurt Li Mu and continued to pour into his body with the five-colored flame. He felt swollen.
He felt too full!
Li Mu felt like a balloon about to explode.
“It seems there is too much energy in my body, and I have encountered such a situation before. Should I refine it?”
With a stir of his mind, Li Mu ran the Xiantian Skill.
Soon, a trace of ecstasy appeared on his face.
The power of the five-colored Emperors’ Fire could really be refined.
After he ran the circulation of the Xiantian Skill, the colorful Emperors’ Fire was turned into the natural qi of Li Mu. It was tamed, the same as the natural qi he had cultivated before. It was used by him and circulated in his body.
“Is it so simple?”
Li Mu found it hard to believe.
“Could it be that I am the reincarnation of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless?”
Thinking of what the Sword Fanatic had asked him before, Li Mu was a little suspicious now.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy to refine and absorb the legendary flame that could burn a martial art emperor to death.
“Could it be that I am the son of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless?”
As these distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Mu continued to run the Xiantian Skill and absorbed the colorful Emperors’ Fire without stopping, turning it into his natural qi.
The clock ticked by.
The colorful Emperors’ Fire swirling around Li Mu became thinner and thinner.
However, the energy ripples in his body were growing stronger and stronger.
In the blink of an eye, this kind of energy fluctuation had risen to the Deity Realm and still increased.
About two hours later, all the colorful Emperors’ Fire had entered Li Mu’s body.
Li Mu was naked, shining with colorful divine light.
Finally, the energy fluctuation emitted from his body did not stabilize until he reached the first stage of the Great Way Realm.
Then Li Mu slowly opened his eyes.
Rumble!
Two beams of divine light burst out from his eyes and directly cut open the sea of fire in the distance. Two rifts were thousands of meters long.
“Oh, my god. I made a breakthrough here.”
Li Mu felt the surging and powerful aura in his body. Only then did he realize that he had broken through the King Realm and the Deity Realm. Now, he almost got into the Great Way Realm.
“Is it because of the energy of the colorful Emperors’ Fire?
“The flame can even burn an emperor to death. The power contained within it was truly incredible.”
Li Mu knew very well that he had not completely digested and merged with the energy of the five-colored Emperors’ Fire. Otherwise, he would not have just stepped into the first stage of the Great Way Realm.
