CHAPTER 929: CHAPTER 738: SIXTEEN-ZHANG BLAZING GREATBLADE! WHO WOULDN’T BE AFRAID?

Billowing thick smoke transformed into a mushroom cloud, tumbling over the skies of Ice and Fire Island, resembling a ferocious devil intent on devouring everything.

Amidst the blazing flames and thunderous explosions, the volcano continued to spew volcanic debris and rocks carrying magma like a fiery rain, shooting out like meteors.

Demon Hawk, Divine Phoenix, and the ships on the sea had all moved to a safe distance.

In everyone’s eyes, the entire Ice and Fire Island seemed to be tightly wrapped in a thick silver-gray curtain woven from smoke, oppressive, terrifying, exuding an aura of gunpowder and violence.

Time dragged on, and by now, the hearts of most people had sunk, filled with anxiety, tension, and doubt.

Even Dongfang Bubai, who had great confidence in Jiang Dali’s abilities, was looking serious, a slight unease, like a spider’s web, starting to gently cling to his heart.

Because by now, it had been nearly a hundred breaths since Jiang Dali entered the volcano.

Staying for a hundred breaths inside such a high-temperature volcano still spewing magma is almost impossible for human capabilities.

Even though they all knew that Jiang Dali’s Cross Training Divine Skill was unrivaled, that he had the thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice that could bring the dead back to life, the Lingshuang Sword coveted by everyone in the Martial World, and the Breaking Realm Pearl stored with vast primordial essence and true qi, far stronger than any expert in the Heavenly Human 6th Realm...

But... it had been over a hundred breaths.

No matter how strong a person is, they are still human, ultimately limited in strength.

Even if a Heavenly Person Strong has broken the boundary between man and heaven, borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

But in the face of a catastrophic disaster like a volcanic eruption, human power is too insignificant!

"Sect Hierarch!"

Wang Yuyan’s voice carried a sob, her whole body tense like a statue, her heart heavy as if filled with lead. She bit her lip and looked at Dongfang Bubai, her eyes pleading, "Sect Hierarch, we should hurry over to take a look... the village chief might... really have had an accident..."

Murong Qingqing was equally agitated, feeling unsettled, and nodded in agreement, "We should go over now to take a look."

Dongfang Bubai was about to agree when suddenly his heart fluttered, blood raced, his Spiritual Sense endowed by the Orochi Bloodline made him feel something, and he couldn’t help but smile, "Even a rough brute like Dali can have you two beautiful ladies worrying so much about him. I think even if he dies now, many men would admire and envy him."

Wang Yuyan’s pretty face changed, and she stomped her foot, "Sect Hierarch! Don’t say such nonsense, the village chief will be fine."

Murong Qingqing also said, "Though he’s usually rude and detestable, but... but I still don’t want to see him die just like that. It’s not that I’m worried, I don’t like his type of man at all. It’s just... he hasn’t fulfilled his promise to me yet."

"Is that so?"

Dongfang Bubai leisurely looked towards the volcano in the distance, ignoring the anxious women, smiling lightly, "He’s still alive."

As soon as these words fell, Murong Qingqing’s beautiful eyes flashed with excitement, her Stealing Listening Skill picked up the commotion, and she exclaimed with surprise, "He really is alive!"

"Really!! That’s great, I knew the village chief was the best!"

Wang Yuyan was so delighted she nearly jumped, tears of joy shimmering in her eyes, feeling as if the clouds and mist opposite had all dissipated, her heart pounding.

"Screech!!"

Amidst the smoke and fire of the volcano, came a cry that pierced metal and shattered stone.

The Fake Phoenix, like a fireball shedding light and rain, bore a golden-bodied strong man with a heroically handsome face, through the floating dust, appearing before the astonished Zhang Wuji, before everyone’s eyes.

The Fake Phoenix swiftly flew out of the disaster zone, away from the burning Ice and Fire Island, to the vast sea where the temperature began to plummet.

"Hahaha, I said our village chief couldn’t be killed by just a volcano eruption. He’s someone even professional critics couldn’t take down. His strength is so great he can only switch homes to spray."

"But looking at the village chief’s blood bar, it seems significantly reduced, and he’s obviously seriously injured."

"You can see that from so far away? Hey, what kind of iron tube is that?"

"A telescope imported from Persia, cost me fifty taels of silver. Not only can I see the village chief’s blood bar, but I can also see the knife in his hand, shit, that knife’s design is too cool."

On the ship, the numerous players of the Wuxiang Sect were in heated discussion, cheering wildly.

The slight tension from before had all dissipated, and they were back to their carefree, relaxed state.

On the deck, the relieved Yu Cheng’an, the Fire King, the Snake King, and others let out a long breath.

Besides Yu Cheng’an’s boundless joy, the Fire King and Snake King were all stunned and amazed by Jiang Dali’s incredible survival ability.

"I previously thought the village chief would only pass the Earth Tribulation by having the Yang God endure the baptism of earth fire once and that would be the normal way of surviving the tribulation.

Who would have thought he would charge into the volcano to retrieve his saber? This is far more dangerous and terrifying than simply walking through an Earth Tribulation at the edge of the volcano, and even more unexpected is that he stayed inside for a hundred breaths."

The Fire King Ancestor Gold Palace was so shocked he knelt, deeply impressed.

Even though he was known as the Fire King, with the ability to control fire, he wouldn’t dare approach the volcano during an eruption.

Even if he someday reached the level of a Heavenly Person, he imagined he would at most circle near the volcano’s edge, entering would be suicidal, let alone staying for a hundred breaths.

"If the village chief didn’t have such ability, he wouldn’t recklessly try. It’s our vision that’s too limited." The elder among the Snake King shook his head in amazement.

Yu Cheng’an suddenly burst into uncontrollable joyous laughter, laughing so hard he bent over, speaking with a pant, his eyes shining like they were electrified, "No matter what, I succeeded, truly succeeded, the village chief has already utilized the Earth Tribulation to forge a Divine Weapon, hahaha... I, Yu Cheng’an, finally have a masterpiece to my name."

The Fire King and Snake King, upon hearing this, used all their eyesight to look toward the sky.

They could vaguely see on the back of the Fire Phoenix, in Jiang Dali’s left hand, as if holding a large saber that appeared flaming and red as fire.

Its shape was rather similar to the prototype of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber they had personally seen, but the crimson wave of light surrounding the blade seemed extraordinary.

...

In the sky, Jiang Dali rode the phoenix, gripping the scalding Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber tightly, watching as the saber in his hand vibrated with increasing force, yet there was still no sign of the Breaking Realm Pearl separating from the hilt, an ominous feeling emerged in his heart.

He attempted to put down the Lingshuang Sword, grabbed the Breaking Realm Pearl with his right hand, and pulled hard.

The Breaking Realm Pearl emitted a glaring yellow light, despite Jiang Dali’s arm muscles swelling and unleashing terrifying force, he still couldn’t move it an inch, as if it was welded firmly to the hilt.

Buzz buzz!——

The crimson saber trembled like a fire dragon in Jiang Dali’s hand, almost ready to fly out.

The power accumulated in a struggle with the Breaking Realm Pearl became increasingly terrifying, the four scale armors embedded in the blade shimmered orange-red, emitting intense heat and energy.

"This won’t work, maybe I can only separate them by consuming some of the power from the saber and the Breaking Realm Pearl! Down!"

Jiang Dali stomped on the exuberantly flying Fake Phoenix.

The Fake Phoenix suddenly descended, let out a dissatisfied cry, folded its wings, and dove toward the repulsive sea surface.

"Village chief!"

Wang Yuyan and others, who were approaching on eagles, were all surprised watching the Fake Phoenix diving toward the sea.

Before they could wonder what was happening, Jiang Dali’s figure had abruptly leapt from the back of the Fake Phoenix, drawing out the crimson saber.

"Slash for Laozi!!!"

His eyes were gleaming fiercely as he shouted, his arm muscles swelling high, gripping the violently trembling saber tightly, he exerted all his strength, and slashed towards the vast sea surface with fury.

Boom!!!

The little remaining True Qi inside him was consumed only by a tenth.

The violently trembling crimson saber exploded with a surging energy.

A massive crimson saber qi suddenly swept across the sea and sky, over ten zhang long, like a crimson bridge majestically lying across the sea and sky, bringing up crimson flames, and fiercely smashed down!!

Boom thud!!

A deafening explosion resounded, its echo spreading far away.

The sea surface was split open into a long, deep crack as if by the angry flaming giant saber of a giant, churning up white spray like an enraged old man shaking his white hair and charging at the heavenly vault, forming a long depressed channel.

In an instant, furious waves roared, the saber qi exploded.

The scorching saber qi steamed the seawater into huge plumes of white steam.

The waves rushing to the sky also poured down like a scorching sun shower, drenching Jiang Dali’s mighty tiger body standing on the sea surface.

Splash splash——

Jiang Dali stood firm on the surging sea waves, his hairless head shone under the drenching seawater, eyes filled with shock and delight as he looked at the sixteen zhang long sea rift that after a few breaths, finally started to heal.

Sixteen zhang of saber qi!!

He just slashed with the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, and it resulted in a terrifying fiery saber qi, as long as sixteen zhang!

Everyone who witnessed this from afar was left in a state of shock, their minds consumed by the terrifying crimson saber qi that seemed capable of splitting the sea in two.

The players instantly erupted like a flock of sparrows, chattering non-stop.

"Shit! How long was that saber qi just now! It felt like it could cut this big ship of ours in half with one strike!"

"Remove ’felt like’, it absolutely could cut it in half! It measures at least thirty-plus meters from my estimation?"

"A thirty-meter saber, the village chief is too fierce, even if we ran thirty meters away first before he slashed, he’d lightly graze and kill me!"

At this moment, Jiang Dali was also boiling with excitement, his heart surging, as he lowered his gaze to the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, now calm in his right hand, noticing the Breaking Realm Pearl still quietly in place on the hilt, his face showed a strange expression...
