Chapter 494: The Rule of Fire
Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit simply spoke without making any movement, not even a spark.
But as he finished speaking, countless flames appeared in Jiang Yun’s eyes.
Flames even appeared around and above his body.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself surrounded by a sea of fire.
These flames, though seemingly appearing out of nowhere, clearly originated from the void, hidden between heaven and earth. Now, under Xia Zhongwu Dao Spirit’s command, they all emerged.
What’s more important is that when these flames appeared, Jiang Yun couldn’t move at all.
The crisscrossing flames were like iron chains, tightly wrapping around him.
The temperature of these flames reached an extreme point, causing even his strong body to start burning and unable to resist.
Despite the intense pain from the flames burning his body, Jiang Yun’s eyes suddenly showed a glimpse of understanding as he murmured, "This is the Rule of Fire, the Power of Rules!"
When Jiang Yun was in the Snow clan, Snow clan’s grandfather had explained to him in detail what arts and rules meant!
The so-called rules are the Power of Rules that exist in the world!
Rules are superior to arts!
Even though various arts used by cultivators actually contain corresponding the Power of Rules, only when one reaches the Tao Spiritual Realm can they sense the existence of rules and use the power of rules.
The previous Jiang Yun, despite knowing the existence of the Power of Rules, could not feel it.
And now, with the help of the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens, he temporarily reached the level of Tao Spiritual Realm.
However, because he has not nurtured a true Dao Spirit, he still cannot sense and wield the Power of Rules.
But now, seeing the flames unleashed by Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit, he suddenly realized that this is the Power of Rules of the fire!
The Power of Rules exists between heaven and earth, and even above the bodies of living beings.
Just like the flames that suddenly appeared before him, strictly speaking, they should be called the Rule of Fire.
They indeed existed originally, but without a Dao Spirit, not only can you not control them, but you can’t even see or feel them.
As these thoughts flashed through Jiang Yun’s mind, he did not know that at this moment, the hearts of the hundred thousand cultivators and tens of thousands of beasts were in turmoil, with mixed feelings.
Jiang Yun, the offering from a remote village, stood on this Beast Arena and had already created one miracle after another.
Now, he was using his own strength to contend against Tao Spiritual Realm cultivators, and against the attacks of Xia family’s Xia Zhongwu.
Even Jiang Yun’s powerful move, the Li Fire, amazed everyone, forcing Xia Zhongwu to summon his Dao Spirit to fight back.
All of these events left everyone deeply shocked!
If Jiang Yun doesn’t die, he will surely become a strong figure in The Barbaric Southern Land, maybe even in the whole world.
He might even establish a new Daoist clan.
Unfortunately, at this moment, everyone believed that he wouldn’t make it.
Right now, more than half of his body has been burned to ashes by the Rule of Fire, falling from the sky.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be long before he was completely consumed by the flames of the Rule of Fire!
Those who cared about Jiang Yun’s safety, like the people of Xiao Village, now had tears in their eyes, trembling with the desire to rush forward and take his place in the fire.
As for those who wished him harm, like Mu Congsheng and the now awakened Xia Mingyuan, their faces showed relief and satisfaction.
Most people believe that Jiang Yun is doomed and will die at the hands of Xia Zhongwu.
However, there are still some who believe that Jiang Yun will not die!
The masked person from the Song family had already stood up, unconsciously clenched their fists, and murmured, "You will not die here!"
Upon hearing the masked person’s voice, Jiang Yun suddenly took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "This little fire is not enough to kill me!"
With all his strength, under the constraints of countless rules of fire, he slowly raised his hand and pointed into the air.
The Taoist spell, The Art of Deathly Suffering!
"I’ll borrow your life force for a moment!"
"*Buzz!*"
A thousand-foot-long murky Yellow Spring suddenly appeared out of nowhere and exploded, turning into countless raindrops that fell from the sky onto the bodies of the cultivators and beasts in the Beast Arena.
The Art of Deathly Suffering can instantly extinguish the life fire of creatures with lower cultivation than Jiang Yun’s, thus killing them.
But this time, he did not intend to kill them, instead, he wanted to use their vitality!
As the Yellow Spring rain fell, all creatures felt a slight tremor in their bodies, a trace of vitality suddenly being drawn out and merging into the raindrops.
Losing a bit of vitality did not have a big impact on their life force, at most making their bodies slightly weaker.
But for Jiang Yun, just like the Li Fire before, each trace of vitality from every creature combined together, forming a vast quantity!
Allowing him to seek survival in death!
"Buzzing!"
The Yellow Spring raindrops that fell on the creatures’ life fire, after absorbing a trace of vitality, did not dissipate. Instead, they burst out from the creatures’ bodies, flowing backward like rainwater, rushing from the ground into the air.
Once again converging into a river!
However, this time the river was no longer murky and yellow, but had turned into gold!
River of life!
"Boom!"
The golden river surged directly into Jiang Yun’s body, rushing towards his weak and always extinguishable flame of life.
This scene once again stunned everyone, not knowing what more Jiang Yun on the brink of death could do.
Xia Zhongwu, however, remained indifferent.
He believed that no matter what spells or powers Jiang Yun tried to use, he could not possibly escape the burning of the Rule of Fire.
Although Jiang Yun used The Art of Deathly Suffering, the Yellow Spring absorbed life, and flowed into his life fire, all of this process was completed in a fleeting moment.
In just that instant, the Rule of Fire had already burned his body to only half remaining!
Fortunately, as the lively river flowed in, Jiang Yun’s almost extinguished life spark finally saw some changes.
The spark became brighter and stronger, until with a "pop", it burst into a pea-sized flame, taking on a human form.
Although Jiang Yun absorbed a huge amount of life energy, he couldn’t absorb it all, nor could he transform it completely into his own life force.
He could only absorb less than a tenth of it, while the rest flowed away and dispersed.
This was normal, as if Jiang Yun could absorb others’ life energy without limits, he would become immortal.
He could even use life energy as a sacrifice for nine offerings.
Although he absorbed less than a tenth of the life energy, and only made his life spark slightly stronger, it was enough for him!
"Swallow!"
Jiang Yun’s human-shaped life spark immediately opened its mouth, generating a strong suction force, starting to devour the Rule of Fire burning above his body!
