Chapter 64 Crossing the Bridge
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously, and the wounds on the monster's body grew visibly more numerous.
After just a short while, the monster's figure seemed to have shrunk somewhat.
Furthermore, the Yin Corpse Poison Fire grew increasingly blazing.
At this moment, a wisp of Yin Corpse Poison Fire attached to the monster swayed slightly.
Then, the gray flames upon it retracted slightly, and unexpectedly, they directly and frantically drilled through the monster's wounds into its body.
The instant this wisp of Yin Corpse Poison Fire drilled inside, the monster let out a miserable scream, completely losing its previous madness and ferocity.
With the first wisp of Yin Corpse Poison Fire drilling into the monster's body, a second wisp followed.
Wisps of Yin Corpse Poison Fire continuously drilled into the monster's body, and the monster's wildly flailing movements gradually came to a halt.
The screams grew increasingly weak, and streams of gray flames now flashed and emerged from its exposed facial orifices.
Immediately afterwards, gray flames continuously emerged from the wounds slashed by the qixuan sword.
At this moment, the monster knelt on one knee, its palms open and half-raised in the air, one high and one low, its head tilted upward, and it came to a complete stop.
The gray flames burned fiercely from the inside out, scorching the monster into a giant gray torch.
After just a short moment, the Yin Corpse Poison Fire had completely devoured and refined it entirely.
"The Yin Corpse Poison Fire has devoured the Zhuyan Spirit Flame mother body."
"The quality of the Yin Corpse Poison Fire has undergone a qualitative change."
"The System has renamed it based on its characteristics: Zhuyan Demonic Fire!"
Sun Xuan looked at the Yin Corpse Poison Fire, which had been completely dyed gray and exuded a terrifying, desolate, and chilling intent. However, now it should be called the Zhuyan Demonic Fire.
With satisfaction in his heart, Sun Xuan beckoned at the Zhuyan Demonic Fire burning on the demon's body.
The Zhuyan Demonic Fire instantly collapsed into a small ball of fire, rapidly flying back into Sun Xuan's hand.
Then it sank into Sun Xuan's body and disappeared.
As for the monster burned down to merely a tattered shell, after the Zhuyan Demonic Fire left,
it seemed to have lost its support, turning into a patch of sand and dust that dissipated into the air.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan smiled slightly, took a light step, and arrived at the exit of the Land of Fire Element.
With a single step, he crossed into the huge whirlpool at the exit and left the Land of Fire Element.
The moment Sun Xuan left the Land of Fire Element, his Divine Sense rapidly scanned the surroundings.
Then, a hazy gray world appeared before Sun Xuan's eyes.
In this hazy gray world, apart from an arched long bridge composed of black stones, there was nothing else at all.
Sun Xuan slightly surveyed his surroundings, then strode quickly toward that stone bridge.
After a short moment, Sun Xuan arrived before the stone bridge.
Then, a giant stone tablet nearly thirty zhang tall appeared in Sun Xuan's sight.
This stone tablet presented a slight reddish hue, and a bizarre aura continuously emanated from it.
Three large characters were written on the stone tablet:
"Path of No Return!"
Sun Xuan opened his mouth to recite it softly, and then said with somewhat profound eyes:
"It seems this is the Path of No Return where looking back means certain death.
Let me see what kind of wondrous traits you truly possess!"
Sun Xuan merely chuckled lightly, flicked his large sleeve, and stepped onto this Path of No Return.
Just after stepping onto the Path of No Return, apart from boundless grayness and silence, there was no other movement whatsoever.
A sense of oppressive fear made him involuntarily want to turn around and flee.
However, this bit of pressure was utterly useless to Sun Xuan. Not to mention turning back, Sun Xuan's walking speed did not change in the slightest.
After Sun Xuan walked a distance of a hundred zhang, a hazy gray mist suddenly rose around him.
The mist was extremely dense, nearly completely obscuring Sun Xuan's line of sight.
And when his Divine Sense probed into the dense fog, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to detect anything at all.
Suddenly, Sun Xuan felt as if something was slightly writhing in the mist behind him.
Then it slowly approached his back.
Tempting Sun Xuan to involuntarily want to turn around and look.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan's figure did not move, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he continued walking forward.
He completely ignored the slightly writhing thing behind him.
However, after the span of a blink of an eye, Sun Xuan walked another dozen zhang forward.
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from behind Sun Xuan.
In Sun Xuan's perception, even the bridge deck beneath his feet trembled slightly amidst this heaven-shaking roar.
Yet Sun Xuan was extremely familiar with this roaring sound; this was clearly the furious roar emitted by the terrifying Three-Headed Turtle.
Then, a massive coercion came from behind Sun Xuan.
It was as if the Three-Headed Turtle had already arrived behind him and was about to swallow him in one gulp.
"Interesting!"
Feeling this coercive aura, which had no difference from reality, Sun Xuan muttered with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Yet his figure did not stop at all, continuing to stride forward along the Path of No Return.
At this moment, a brilliant multicolored light lit up from behind Sun Xuan.
Accompanied by bursts of noisy "ribbit" croaking and the sound of branches swaying slightly, it came from behind Sun Xuan.
Then, only the whistling sound of a whip lashing out was heard.
The shadow of a huge branch covered toward him from behind Sun Xuan.
It was as if that bizarre giant tree had chased all the way here, intending to use its branches to whip and slay him.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan shook his head slightly and thought to himself:
"If only the Three-Headed Turtle appeared, it might still be real.
Now that the bizarre giant tree has come as well, then they must both be illusions.
The strength of these two giant beasts is extremely formidable; once the two meet, they will inevitably fight each other.
How could they still have the leisure time to attack me?"
Thinking of this, Sun Xuan ignored them even more.
The speed under his feet increased once again, walking rapidly toward the end of the Path of No Return.
Sure enough, the huge branch that lashed over instantly vanished the moment it touched Sun Xuan's body.
Along with the brilliant bizarre light and the noisy croaking sounds, all of them completely dissipated into nothingness.
And the roaring Three-Headed Turtle likewise dissipated into nothingness like a bubble.
Suddenly, the fog veiling his eyes vanished without a trace instantly, and Sun Xuan also walked to the end of the bridge.
Sun Xuan's figure was composed as he stepped out from the bridge with one foot.
Then, a huge whirlpool appeared before Sun Xuan's eyes.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan moved his footsteps slightly and stepped into the whirlpool.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the whirlpool.
After Sun Xuan walked out of the whirlpool, what appeared before Sun Xuan was a peak towering into the clouds.
This mountain peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the end at all.
Standing beneath the foot of this mountain, a person's figure was as tiny as an ant.
"This should be the Forbidden Mountain!"
Runes and Restrictions flickered slightly in Sun Xuan's eyes as he looked at the Forbidden Mountain before him, a trace of solemnity involuntarily appearing on his face.
