With the blessing of the "True Dragon Art," Mu Jinyu's cultivation began to infinitely approach the first layer of the Fanxu Realm.
At the same time, he vigorously wielded the Dragon Bone Whip. With the infusion of strands of Imperial Dragon Qi, the power of the Dragon Bone Whip began to gradually approach that of a Spiritual Treasure!
"Hah!"
Mu Jinyu let out a roar of anger, driving the Dragon Bone Whip fiercely toward the incoming torrential sea of fire!
"Snap!!"
A crisp cracking sound resounded. The torrential sea of fire, dense and smooth like a waterfall, was instantly whipped into two halves by the Bone Whip, sweeping left and right behind Mu Jinyu without harming him.
"Ah!!"
The crowd below exclaimed in fear upon witnessing this scene of the fire sea being split.
Fortunately, they had sensed something was wrong as soon as Di Shitian had started to control the Bi Fang Cauldron. Following the elders' shouts, they had all moved away from the Combat Platform in time, avoiding harm when the fiery sea rebounded off the platform.
"Oh no, this..."
In the spectators' stand.
Xie Chenkun had originally prepared to rescue Mu Jinyu immediately if he was in danger, but when Bi Fang's Cauldron was lifted and the terrifying sea of fire poured out, his face changed drastically. He stood up, heading toward their Combat Platform.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
The fiery sea had already raged around, and Mu Jinyu's figure was indistinguishable within it.
Given the intense heat of the arena, even he could barely endure it; being suspended three zhang in the air, his skin began to show signs of burns. How could he rush into the sea of fire to save Mu Jinyu?
Jian Ruyan watched the uncontrollable scene with a face full of despair. Then, she gritted her teeth and prepared to rush into the fire sea.
Fortunately, Yun Ge noticed something was wrong in time, using his powerful True Yuan to fix her in place, then dragged her away while telepathically telling her, "Senior Brother Mu has his fortune; he will surely not die like this. Don't act impulsively..."
On another Combat Platform, Dao Wuming stood, watching the uncontrollable scene not far away, his indifferent expression becoming serious.
If that sea of fire poured toward him, he couldn't guarantee he would emerge unscathed either.
He felt he would certainly have to pay a heavy price to kill Di Shitian.
He began to consider how to deal with Di Shitian next. Should he kill him immediately upon making his move?
"Crack, crack, crack!!"
In the center of the sea of fire, Mu Jinyu floated in mid-air, no longer standing on the Combat Platform, as the platform under his feet had been melted into blistering lava when the fiery sea poured out.
As for the Bone Whip, after dispersing the incoming sea of fire, it approached the level of a Spiritual Treasure but couldn't withstand such terrifying heat, beginning to crumble into bone ashes!
Mu Jinyu felt it was a pity, but with the battle situation being dire, he couldn't think much about it. Seeing the Bone Whip about to completely disintegrate and the parted sea of fire about to merge and engulf him, he promptly controlled the mysterious Sacred Wood Branch to replace the Bone Whip and continued lashing forward!
"Snap!"
"Snap!!"
The Sacred Wood Branch lashed forward furiously, each strike heavier than the last, quickly splitting the dense and tumultuous sea of fire, revealing the slightly tilted Bi Fang Cauldron behind it!
And standing behind it, Di Shitian, his face extremely pale!
"Crack, crack..."
Unfortunately, the fire of Bi Fang was indeed terrifying. The usually mysterious and formidable Sacred Wood Branch also began to be smelted upon encountering it.
With those few strikes, although the Bi Fang Cauldron hidden in the sea of fire was exposed, the Sacred Wood Branch was also burnt to ash!
"Go!"
Mu Jinyu couldn't afford to be heartbroken. He swiftly formed a spell with his hand, and the Qingyang Cauldron, which he had just obtained, surged through the safe passage forcibly created by the Sacred Wood Branch, crashing toward the Bi Fang Cauldron!
"Clang!"
A thunderous clash resounded.
The pouring Bi Fang Cauldron was struck upright by the Qingyang Cauldron, no longer spewing out that intense flame.
"Crack, crack..."
"Bang!!"
It was a pity for the Qingyang Cauldron. Mu Jinyu had only used it to refine a few pills and hadn't had it for long before it was rendered useless here!
"You?!"
Standing behind the Bi Fang Cauldron, Di Shitian watched in disbelief and terror as Mu Jinyu turned the situation around with a few Magic Treasures.
The panic was due to his great consumption of True Yuan, and after spitting out that mouthful of Essence Blood, he was momentarily unable to control the Bi Fang Cauldron and was so exhausted that he couldn't even move his feet!
Seeing Mu Jinyu preparing to take advantage of this brief moment of safety to rush over and kill him, Di Shitian wasn't willing to sit and wait for death.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, then raised his hand and pounded his own chest.
"Pfft!"
Immediately, a mouthful of Essence Blood was spat from Di Shitian, once again splashing onto the Bi Fang Cauldron.
"Buzz!!"
The Bi Fang Cauldron trembled slightly in mid-air, emitting a blazing red light. It swayed slightly as if ready to tip over and flow with flame once more!
"Bang, bang!"
Mu Jinyu, charging forward, saw this and knew it was bad news.
However, at this moment, he had no more Magic Treasures to use from a distance to strike the Bi Fang Cauldron.
So, Mu Jinyu gritted his teeth and pinned his hopes on Life Source Energy to save himself.
"Hah!"
Mu Jinyu put all his effort into one strike, charging forward barehanded, slamming a palm toward the Bi Fang Cauldron!
"Bang!!"
The Bi Fang Cauldron trembled violently, sparks spilling out with its shaking, sizzling as they splashed outward!
Mu Jinyu's hand, upon direct contact with the Bi Fang Cauldron, instantly had its flesh burned away, exposing the bare white bones.
Even the bones of his hand showed cracks, about to shatter at any moment.
Fortunately, the Life Source Energy circulated from his Dantian just in time to preserve the hand bones and begin to heal the severe injuries, with threads of blood reappearing on the white bones...
"Hmph, seeking death!"
Di Shitian, hiding behind the Bi Fang Cauldron, watched Mu Jinyu's reckless move and couldn't help but sneer coldly with a mocking smile curling his lips.
"Bang!!"
Mu Jinyu thought it was indeed effective. Then, enduring the unbearable pain, he swung his hands, madly slamming the Bi Fang Cauldron!
"Bang, bang!!"
With a few more strikes, the Bi Fang Cauldron, which had tilted slightly toward Mu Jinyu under the irrigation of Di Shitian's Essence Blood, was struck upright and even began to tilt backward.
The terrifying sea of fire was about to pour over Di Shitian!
"No!!"
The mocking smile on Di Shitian's face instantly froze.
He let out a frantic scream in his heart, then wildly raised his palm, slamming it onto his chest, trying to spit out a few more mouthfuls of Essence Blood to control the Bi Fang Cauldron and obliterate Mu Jinyu!
"Boom!!"
Sadly, his nearly exhausted body could hardly squeeze out any more Essence Blood.
Before he could shatter his heart and spit out blood, the Bi Fang Cauldron, under Mu Jinyu's fierce strikes, finally tilted toward him!
"Boom!!"
The boundless sea of fire instantly engulfed Di Shitian.
