Chapter 2905
It’s Not All Talk
“The G.o.d Clan is just a legend, but it may be true. The facts are impossible to determine as it has been happening for too long, thousands of years have pa.s.sed. However, the existence of the Fire G.o.d Zhu Rong is true and this Fire Jade Beast is his descendant. In my memory fragments, the Fire G.o.d used to be one of the strongest G.o.ds in the world.”
Red Lotus said, wearing a worried frown.
“Well, at any rate, my Five Elemental True Fire will never be able to resist its flames. You’re my only hope now.”
Jiang Chen said and shrugged his shoulders. He acted like he was going to fight to the death.
“I will try my best.”
Red Lotus said softly.
Red Lotus would be Jiang Chen and the Fire Qilin’s last hope, they were betting everything on her.
A b.l.o.o.d.y red lotus rose above the Ancestral Dragon PaG.o.da, beams of light soared up to the sky and a.s.sembled together. Above the fire lotus, Red Lotus was like a G.o.ddess from heaven, standing arrogantly and looking at the Fire Jade Beast glowingly.
“Is it the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus?”
The Fire Jade Beast fixed its glance upon Red Lotus and stared at her intensely.
“It’s a pity, you haven’t reached maturity yet.”
The Fire Jade Beast said coldly after a long pause.
“Neither are you.”
Red Lotus and the Fire Jade Beast’s eyes met each other intensely, without a sign of backing down.
“However, this should be enough to deal with you. My father told me that the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus is the only thing that could fight against the essence of my beast flame. Unfortunately, you’re not strong enough at the moment so I will have to swallow you. I have never expected the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus to become my greatest Beast Flame instead, not that human.”
The Fire Jade Beast was staring at the Fire Lotus covetously, it was determined to swallow her.
“Let’s see if you have what it takes to swallow me.”
Red Lotus’s eyes met with the Fire Jade Beast’s intensely, it was scorching hot and none of them were planning to retreat. But apparently, the Fire Jade Beast was slightly afraid of the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus.
“I will make you realize that the strongest flame in the world is the essence of my beast flame. If I swallow your Karmic Fire, I am sure that I will break through to the Divine Emperor Realm within a thousand years!”
The greed and ambition of the Fire Jade Beast was obviously shown, its eyes were filled with blazing flames. Both of their eyes met and there were countless flames leaping up wildly within them. The battle between them did not look fancy or intense, it was merely a fight of flames. The one who had the stronger flame would be able to restrain the other. Red Lotus’ face had become solemn. The flames around the both of them had made Jiang Chen stunned with astonishment. Both of them were exceedingly terrifying.
“Red Lotus has already reached the Hierarch Realm.”
Jiang Chen was slightly startled. She would’ve been no match for the Fire Jade Beast if her strength did not reach the Hierarch Realm.
Jiang Chen’s eyes turned red. Their souls merged together constantly and that was a trial of Soul Fire. However, Jiang Chen realized that Red Lotus was at a disadvantage in the fight as there was quite a huge difference between her and the Fire Jade Beast. The Fire Jade Beast had already reached the Late Hierarch Realm while the Essence Beast Flame in its body was more mature at this moment.
“If our strength is on the same level, perhaps your Karmic Fire will be slightly stronger than mine. But now, your strength is still too weak for me. Just face reality, I will swallow you and make good use of the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus to the utmost.”
The Fire Jade Beast said with a cold smile, opening its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, and tried to engulf Red Lotus. Red Lotus was constantly retreating and her face turned ghastly pale. She had her back on the wall at the moment.
The Essence Beast Flame of the Fire Jade Beast was glowing wildly which made the Karmic Fire become useless. It was drawing back.
“It is truly the descendant of the Fire G.o.d Zhu Rong, its Essence Beast Flame is too terrifying.”
Jiang Chen murmured. At this moment, he could feel that Red Lotus was confronting a great crisis. This Fire Jade Beast was extremely terrifying, it owned the strength of a Late Hierarch Realm and its Essence Beast Flame was comparable with the Karmic Fire. Jiang Chen wondered if an ordinary Divine Emperor expert could fight this Fire Jade Beast.
Back then, Jiang Chen was almost killed by the Reverend of the Nine Boundaries who was a Mid Hierarch expert. He had struggled hard to escape from that danger. So it was impossible for him to fight this Fire Jade Beast, he had no chance of winning.
Red Lotus was still constantly retreating, making Jiang Chen’s heart tremble wildly. Does this mean that even Red Lotus was no match for the Fire Jade Beast? Then what should he do now to escape from the Fire Jade Beast’s attack? Jiang Chen was full of anger and struggle. This was the greatest crisis that he had ever met in the Divine World, however, he wouldn’t just watch Red Lotus die for him without doing anything!
“Run now, before it’s too late. I will try to hold it down.”
Red Lotus exclaimed with her sweet voice, not showing any fear. Even though she was constantly retreating, she still looked fearless and calm.
“How can I just leave you?”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, he was struggling hard and confused, but he would never leave Red Lotus and see her be swallowed by the Fire Jade Beast.
“Just run. You will die soon if you are still talking nonsense here!”
Red Lotus’s eyes were filled with determination. Jiang Chen was the only descendant of the Craftsman G.o.d, he should not die here. Even if she died here, she swore to save Jiang Chen from danger.
Red Lotus had already burned her bridges behind her, she was merely digging her own grave. Once she was engulfed by the Fire Jade Beast, she would not be as lucky as Jiang Chen. As a man, Jiang Chen was not willing to stand and do nothing while watching Red Lotus die for him.
Cold River Stone! Yes, the Cold River Stone!
Suddenly, Jiang Chen saw hope. The Divine Tool of the Destructive Ice G.o.d was a Primal Origin Treasure but he was not strong enough to use it. He should at least reach the Hierarch Realm in order to use it. However, the strength of his soul had already reached the Divine Emperor Realm and he knew that it was his last and only hope. Although his soul hasn’t completely recovered yet and his strength was merely at the Divine King Realm, he needed to bet this time. If he did not do so, he would see the Red Lotus die and it was because of him!
Jiang Chen swore to maintain this friends.h.i.+p even if he lost his life, he was not willing to owe her. He would never leave at this moment.
“Cold River Stone, it’s your time!”
Jiang Chen was holding the Cold River Stone, his eyes were full of ambition and determination to fight to the death. He would not retreat even if he died. As a man, how could he make a woman die for him? If he really did so, he knew that he would be living in regret and would grieve his whole life.
“You’re insane, Jiang Chen! You’re not qualified to use the Cold River Stone now, that is not the Heavenly Dragon Sword. It might swallow you instead. The Cold River Stone was an unmatched divine tool of an Ancient G.o.d Emperor, you will not be able to use it if you don’t have the strength of a Hierarch. Even if you really broke through to that level, you still have to be extremely careful when using it.
The Fire Qilin exclaimed loudly.
“I would rather fight to the death than just hide behind a woman. I will prove that I’m a real man with my actions. I am not just spouting words.”
Jiang Chen stared at Red Lotus who was dealing with the Fire Jade Beast, his hand was holding the Cold River Stone. It would be their last chance.
