Gu Han looked at the black flames in the sky with a despondent expression on his face. "The Nine Illusory Quicksand is a godly material, and its origins are mysterious and unclear. No one really knows much about it. As for what it's uses are, I'm not too certain as well. I only know that the Nine Illusory Quicksand is an indispensable material to maintain the Misty Illusory Manor's space. Although they don't need a lot, it is something that they cannot do without. From this direction, it can be determined that the Nine Illusory Quicksand should be a material that corresponds to spatial energy. As for what it is exactly, I really don't know!"
"Has something to do with space?" Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows.
Just what is this Nine Illusory Quicksand thing?
Young Master Jun naturally would not know that although the Flame of Primal Chaos was a heavenly fire that could burn everything, this Nine Illusory Quicksand was not a low grade material either! It was also formed from the from the heavens and earth. Of course, this natural material was a result of the Nine Nether First Young Master using a type of extreme and heaven defying method, along with a formation to lock the heavenly essence Qi, to form. It could be considered as a kind of manmade Xiantian material…
Although the Flame of Primal Chaos was capable of burning even space and spirits, this Nine Illusory Quicksand was also not weaker than the Flame of Primal Chaos in the quality of its energy. At most, there would only be a tiny thread of difference. As for Gu Han's analysis if it being a spatial-type material, he was not exactly wrong as well. Because the Nine Illusory Quicksand was a type of medium or intermediary material for creating spatial pockets!
There was a concept in buddhist scriptures: 'a world in a grain of sand'. And this Nine Illusory Quicksand was exactly this kind of material! Although it was far from being as overpowered as being able to contain an entire world in a grain of sand, it was also similarly miraculous!
Even if it was just a single grain of sand, it still had endless fascinating uses. Otherwise, how would a small pinch of this Nine Illusory Quicksand maintain the space of the Misty Illusory Manor for so long?
And right now, Zhan Kuang had used all the Nine Illusory Quicksand that existed in this world, to create his body. So the energy contained in this body could be easily imagined!
Right now, Zhan Kuang could be said to have not even discovered a tenth of the uses of the Nine Illusory Quicksand! And he was already so terrifying!
As Jun Mo Xie was mulling over the matter, the Flame of Primal Chaos still burned as before, but the greenish mist was retreating ever so slowly. After that, it began to drift to the side, away from the Flame of Primal Chaos before once again swirling into a green human form!
A loud whooshing sound rang out!
As expected, Zhan Kuang was going to revive again!
Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows and with a wave of his hand, the Flame of Primal Chaos disappeared.
Since it didn't work, there was no need to leave it outside. This thing did not distinguish between friend and foe. If Gu Han or the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master touched it, even if they reacted immediately, they would still lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die!
Right now, Young Master Jun was also exceedingly depressed!
The Flame of Primal Chaos that had never failed before, actually disappointed him for the first time today!
This was a very difficult blow for Jun Mo Xie to accept!
Since even the Flame of Primal Chaos could not destroy it, then what other methods were there that could deal with this undying monster?!
The whooshing sound grew louder and faster, and a human figure once again appeared before the three of them like a persistent ghost.
"Let me try this time. I'll like to personally get a taste of what kind of monster this is! The two of you, get ready in case of anything!" A rarely seen look of seriousness appeared on Jun Mo Xie's face as he charged forward before the two could answer!
A loud hong sound rang out, and in the instant that Zhan Kuang's body solidified, Jun Mo Xie's palm smashed firmly against his chest. The newly reformed Zhan Kuang basically did not have any time to react as he was sent stumbling backwards for tens of zhang. Unable to maintain his footing, he tumbled head over heels, falling ruthlessly across the ground.
Jun Mo Xie had intentionally slowed down the speed of this palm, but he'd increased the attack strength.
As expected, this fellow is weak at the point when he initially takes form. Whether it is the speed or reaction, all of it is not coordinated. Jun Mo Xie thought as he sent out a flurry of attacks.
After being hit dozens of times, Zhan Kuang's body reaction grew increasingly nimble, and his counterattacks became sharper as well. However, his body was already showing signs of turning illusory.
Seeing this, Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and increased the speed of attack further, and the sounds of fists and kicks rang out repeatedly.
A look of astonishment shone in the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master's eyes as he looked at the exciting battle.
When he first saw Jun Mo Xie at Chrysanthemum City, Jun Mo Xie was only a Saint. But in less than half a year, when the Evil Monarch Manor was just established, this fellow had already reached the Saint Venerable realm.
But now, he'd once again jumped to the peak of the Saint Monarch realm!
What kind of advancement speed was this? Such a shocking speed caused even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master to feel shock and horror!
The first time he saw Jun Mo Xie, the kid was only akin to an ant in his sight. But now, this fellow had already reached a level where he had the qualifications to converse equally with him!
In that case, what if some more time passed? How would the two side's strengths compare?!
A smile suddenly appeared on the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master's face. Perhaps, this world will not be as boring anymore with the addition of another strong rival!
In this battle, Jun Mo Xie held the absolute advantage, fiercely suppressing his opponent the entire way, seeking to destroy Zhan Kuang in the shortest time possible. Zhan Kuang's body also continuously trembled under the attacks, seemingly about to breakdown once again. All of a sudden, Jun Mo Xie retracted his palm and a shrill sword cry rang out as the Blood of Yellow Flame stabbed with the speed of lightning, plunging into Zhan Kuang's body!
It directly stabbed into the position of Zhan Kuang's dantian. Then, he stepped aside and watched. He wanted to see whether this sword could control Zhan Kuang, whether it could do any damage to the strange monster. After all, both of them were things that surpassed the understanding of this world…
The Blood of Yellow Flame cried out with excitement and spun rapidly against Zhan Kuang's dantian.
With the Blood of Yellow Flame's sharpness, a huge hole appeared on Zhan Kuang's chest. From the outside, one could see the Blood of Yellow Flame stabbing into the dantian, suddenly piercing upwards towards the position where the heart normally was, and then upwards again, towards the head. Following that, it dove downwards, slashing about madly in his body!
It was as if Blood of Yellow Flame was looking for something, but it couldn't find it…
Zhan Kuang shrieked aloud continuously, and his body once again began to dissipate. Just at this time, a brilliant light burst out as the Blood of Yellow Flame released its sword Qi without restrained, bursting through Zhan Kuang's body!
With a loud bang, Zhan Kuang's body exploded, turning into a cloud of green mist again!
The Blood of Yellow Flame flew about the air, returning to Jun Mo Xie's hand.
In that moment, the Blood of Yellow Flame's voice echoed in Jun Mo Xie's mind. "What kind of thing is this fellow? Why is his soul so strange? I actually can't absorb it at all."
"The soul cannot be absorbed?!" Jun Mo Xie raised his eyebrows with shock. "Then, can you absorb his body?"
Whether it was Zhan Kuang's soul or the Nine Illusory Quicksand that made up his body, as long as one of them could be destroyed, the other would naturally become vulnerable!
"It can't either! What is that thing, why is it so strange!" The Blood of Yellow Flame grumbled unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Jun Mo Xie instantly detected that the Blood of Yellow Flame's emotions were strange.
"That thing is a heavenly nutritious material, ah!" Blood of Yellow Flame grumbled. "I was so excited just now, but after trying to eat it, I realized that that thing cannot even be absorbed… how frustrating…"
"A nutritious material? What do you mean?" Jun Mo Xie's eyes lit up. "How is it nutritious?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained the details to you. Put simply, if you could add a little bit of that stuff when you refine me next time, I don't need that much, just about a tenth of what we have on that guy, my strength will rise by at least one fold! Perhaps even more…"
The Blood of Yellow Flame sighed. "But it's a pity… from the looks of things now, I'm afraid it would be hard…"
As it said that, the Blood of Yellow Flame sighed again in a human-like manner.
Jun Mo Xie also sighed along with it. It was indeed quite hard. This thing was indestructible. Since it could not be killed, there was even less meaning in talking about adding it to the sword.
If Zhan Kuang's soul could not be extinguished, Jun Mo Xie also wouldn't dare to add the material into the sword. What kind of a terrifying existence was Zhan Kuang's soul ah… if it ended up swallowing the Blood of Yellow Flame's soul instead, it would be even more troublesome…
"However, this thing is also very useful to you." The next words from the Blood of Yellow Flame caused Jun Mo Xie to shudder: "From what I know, the kind of energy you used to forge me also contains similar effects to energy used to create spatial pockets! And this strange material seems to have some similarities to that energy of yours. Furthermore, it should be a rather high grade intermediary medium…"
High grade medium?!
Jun Mo Xie instantly turned to look at Zhan Kuang's body with a greedy expression! It was as if a particularly desperate hoodlum had just spotted a beautiful woman walking alone!
Jun Mo Xie knew what exactly he lacked the most.
Although his cultivation was undoubtedly rising quickly, but the individual space in his body that he'd created with the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune had not changed at all! It still only remained as a sky and earth, and a patch of chaos. There weren't even a sun, moon, or stars in there.
Since there weren't any changes there, it meant that the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune had not made any further progress! And if the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune didn't progress, then even if he stuffed his body to the point of explosion with Spiritual Qi, he wouldn't be able to advance any further!
What'd progressed so far was only his Xuan cultivation. But as for the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune, it hadn't broken through yet!
If he wanted to reach the next level with the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune, he would need a type of opportunity!
And now that the Blood of Yellow Flame had mentioned the word 'medium', it instantly caused Jun Mo Xie's heart to light up!
