Chapter 1320 Flame Puppet
"Should we go in?"
Looking at the scorching sea of lava, Xu Changshou felt a little scared. If an ordinary person entered it, they would be burned to ashes in no time.
However, they were all cultivators at the Mahayana realm, and the mere sea of magma naturally could not harm them.
Xu Changshou's fear stemmed from human instinct.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Let's go!"
The Venerable Red Lotus spoke softly, about to leap into the sea of lava.
Suddenly, from the opposite side of the lava sea came a huge roar, as if some monster was about to emerge from the lava sea.
Immediately afterwards, a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the magma sea.
Finally, on the surface of the magma sea, a colossal wave suddenly surged.
A fiery figure, a thousand feet tall, leaped out of the sea.
Xu Changshou was slightly surprised. He scanned the flame man with his divine sense and found that the flame man was surrounded by crimson flames.
Two emerald lights flickered in the eye sockets of the fire giant, resembling two eyes.
Take another look at the body of the thousand-foot giant; its texture is like solidified magma.
However, Xu Changshou was certain that it was not solidified magma, because ordinary magma could not withstand such a terrifying energy impact.
"This is... an eighth-grade fire puppet!"
Venerable Red Lotus said casually.
Xu Changshou frowned: "An eighth-grade fire puppet?"
He had heard of puppets; they were made by puppeteers.
In the cultivation world, there is a craftsman called a puppeteer. Back then, Li Shouchen, who rented Xu Changshou's shop in Mu Dong Divine City, was a puppeteer.
But back then, the strongest puppet Li Shouchen could create was only a fifth-grade puppet.
A fifth-grade puppet's combat power is equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
At that time, Xu Changshou's cultivation had already reached the Integration Realm, so he was not interested in puppets at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Of course, puppets at the Nascent Soul stage are generally weak in combat. Puppets of the same level usually cannot defeat cultivators. However, there are some abnormal puppets whose combat power is on par with that of humans of the same level, and some are even stronger than humans.
An eighth-grade puppet is equivalent to a cultivator at the Mahayana stage in the human race. According to the specifications, it should be comparable to a Mahayana Great Perfection cultivator.
Therefore, it can be deduced that these eighth-rank puppets are not as strong as them and are easier to deal with.
boom!
The puppet flame man moved and charged towards Xu Changshou, quickly reaching him.
call!
A hundred-foot-long fiery hand slammed down on Xu Changshou.
"go with!"
Xu Changshou waved his sleeve and casually unleashed a sword aura. Facing an unfamiliar opponent, he dared not be careless and immediately used the Sword Heart Talisman.
The sword energy talisman was channeled into a sharp blade, striking the palm of the hundred-foot-tall fiery hand.
when!
The two made contact, producing a clanging sound, and the immense force sent the flame puppet flying dozens of miles away.
It somersaulted several times in the air before regaining its balance, and then charged towards Xu Changshou again.
"This……"
Xu Changshou was immediately taken aback.
The move he just used was a sword qi talisman, which could instantly kill even an ordinary cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.
The fire puppet was completely unharmed.
boom!
Without giving Xu Changshou much time to think, the flame puppet's large hand slammed down on him again.
when!
Xu Changshou used the Sword Heart Talisman again, and the flame puppet was once again blown away.
He quickly regained his footing and continued his attack.
"How could this be?"
Xu Changshou frowned secretly. The flame puppet's defense was too strong; physical attacks were ineffective against it.
Just as another slap was about to land, Venerable Red Lotus hurriedly reminded him, "Junior Brother Xu, the Flame Puppet's defense is too strong. You can't confront it head-on. You need to dodge and deplete its spiritual energy. Once its spiritual energy is exhausted, it will automatically lose its attack power."
Upon hearing her words, Xu Changshou flashed forward and instantly teleported a hundred miles away.
Snapped!
A massive palm, hundreds of feet long, slammed hard onto the surface of the lava sea, instantly creating towering waves and spraying lava everywhere.
The puppet seemed to have its sights set on Xu Changshou and attacked him once again.
boom!
boom!
boom……
Xu Changshou avoided direct confrontation and instead dodged each time.
The flame puppet was rather clumsy, and Xu Changshou could easily dodge its attacks.
Soon, Xu Changshou discovered that Venerable Red Lotus was right; the Flame Puppet's spiritual energy was being consumed very quickly.
Boom, boom!
Suddenly, the magma sea stirred again, and two thousand-foot-tall fiery puppets broke through the surface, heading towards Venerable Red Lotus and Venerable Hongwu respectively.
These two fire puppets are exactly the same as Xu Changshou's, except that the color of the light orbs around their eye sockets is different.
The fire puppet that Xu Changshou was dealing with had green eyes, while the other two fire puppets had blue and red eyes, respectively.
"besides!"
The three felt a chill in their hearts; none of them had expected that there would be three Flame Puppet Men.
boom!
boom!
boom……
Venerable Honglian and Venerable Hongwu also joined the battle, each fighting against a fire puppet.
The Crimson Lotus Venerable dealt with the flame puppet whose eyes flashed blue light.
Venerable Hongwu dealt with the flame puppet whose eyes were flashing red.
They all adopted the same strategy: to defend and then only dodge without attacking.
The fire golem has no mind and doesn't know how to conserve spiritual energy; it just attacks relentlessly.
It was obvious that the spiritual energy within them was being consumed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
A quarter of an hour later.
thump!
The green-glowing flame puppet that Xu Changshou was dealing with lost its spiritual energy and fell into the sea of lava.
"Finally done!"
Xu Changshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly waited for the battle between Venerable Honglian and Venerable Hongwu to end.
After a while.
boom!
Another flaming puppet emerged from the sea of lava.
"Ok?"
Xu Changshou glanced at the flame puppet and saw that its eyes were flashing with emerald green light. It was the same puppet that he had knocked down.
However, at this moment, the puppet's spiritual energy had returned to normal.
Xu Changshou calculated that from the time it entered the magma sea until now, only a hundred breaths had passed, yet it had already recovered its spiritual energy.
This indicates that the magma sea contains abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy, and the fire golems have a method to quickly absorb this spiritual energy.
Therefore, upon returning to the lava sea, the fire golem was restored.
Looking down at the massive sea of lava, Xu Changshou felt a chill run down his spine.
With this sea of lava, the fire golems are essentially given unlimited kinetic energy.
Its physical body is indestructible, and its spiritual energy is inexhaustible; there is simply no solution to this.
"This is bad! It's that fire puppet from before."
"It actually regained its spiritual energy? Trouble!"
Venerable Honglian and Venerable Hongwu also realized that something was wrong.
The flame puppet with green eyes seemed to have its sights set on Xu Changshou. After emerging, it charged at Xu Changshou without saying a word.
boom!
boom!
boom……
The battle between the two continued, with Xu Changshou constantly dodging the attacks of the fire puppet.
Gradually, his spiritual energy began to deplete.
