Chapter 1037: Chapter 827: Survival

"Oh no!"

Kathu felt a pang of distress and quickly crossed all the Thunder Chains protectively in front of him!

The long knife of the Demon Soul was covered with the golden flames of Burial Sun, and as it slashed down, it immediately cut into the Thunder Chains.

The Great Sun Burning Body Technique was originally derived from the Essence of the Three-legged Golden Crow, and after Burial Sun, it already possessed some of the power of the Great Sun Divine Fire!

The extremely high-temperature long knife slowly cut through the Thunder Chains, and in just a moment, two or three chains were severed.

Kathu was greatly alarmed and controlled the Thunderbolt Spear, repeatedly shooting at the Demon Soul before him.

But since the Demon Soul had already initiated Burial Sun, it was fearless, just wanting to swiftly kill Kathu and see if it could help protect others during their retreat.

Kathu shouted loudly, "You’re courting death!!"

Though he could see the Fire Elemental Energy on the Demon Soul was depleting visibly, Kathu’s eyes couldn’t help but show signs of panic.

Because Kathu was unsure whether the opponent would run out of energy first or break through his defenses!

Just as the Demon Soul was about to cut through nearly half of the chains, it suddenly realized something, immediately turning its head to look downward.

Beyond the eruption of fierce flames, Xia Xuan was also knocked to the ground, the earth and rocks surged up and buried several people deep underground!

The Demon Soul’s face sank, swiftly changing its mind, and it raised the long knife high, slashing heavily at Kathu.

Although it didn’t manage to sever all the Thunder Chains in one slash, it struck them, sending Kathu flying away.

Afterward, the Demon Soul dove downward like a falling golden sun, rushing toward Tian Yu below.

Tian Yu had just dealt with Xia Xuan and the others. Seeing this, his eyes narrowed, raising a hand to seal and point at himself, his whole body flashed with Spirit Light, unsealing it.

Then he raised his hand, black sand surged like a tide, rushing towards the descending golden fireball, encasing it and rapidly forming a giant black sphere!

However, within moments, large areas on the sphere dried and cracked, countless golden radiances piercing through.

"Boom!"

With a brilliant golden light, the Demon Soul broke through the black sphere, continuing to rush at Tian Yu below.

But Tian Yu did not stay put; black sand flowed around his body as he soared upward to collide with the Demon Soul!

"Boom!!"

Both sides clashed, explosive Spirit Light burst forth.

Even though Tian Yu’s fire resistance was significantly enhanced by Xia Xuan, he still couldn’t withstand Burial Sun unleashed by the Demon Soul at the Chongyang Realm, and in a flash, he was scorched and burned on large areas of his body!

Meanwhile, the Demon Soul, having understood Tian Yu’s abilities from Kathu, overloaded its Burial Sun energy, its body blazing with daylight, suddenly erupting with more astonishing high-temperature fierce flames!

In an instant, Tian Yu, who was up close, became visibly charred all over and gradually turned into ashes!

The burn of such high-temperature flames isn’t just deadly; the pain is excruciating.

Yet Tian Yu, apart from his lips turning pale, revealing his pain, maintained an indifferent expression as if he was accustomed to the agony.

At this moment, in the midst of the fierce flames, a cross shone in Tian Yu’s left palm and touched his chest.

"True Form Release!"

Not as grandiose as others like Kathu, just a flash of Spirit Light, Tian Yu completed the True Form Release.

Except for the faint flickering of orange-yellow light in his eyes, even his appearance wasn’t changed.

Yet at that moment, under the peculiar force of rules, the speed at which Tian Yu’s skin burned to ash visibly slowed, and after several seconds, not even a trace of redness showed!

The Demon Soul’s pupils shook, having truly experienced the wonder of "miracle" power!

"Damn!"

The Demon Soul glanced at the ground buried beneath Xia Xuan and the others, unable to perceive any breath, sighing internally.

This time, perhaps it won’t fulfill its body’s command!

The True Form Release of Qiguang’s Star Card Masters, their abilities aren’t comparable to other Star Card Masters of the same level!

Without breathing ultimate skills, Great Flame might suffer a huge loss.

Particularly, certain abilities are overly exaggerated, like the person right in front...

"Hmm...?!"

Just then, the Demon Soul’s gaze fell on a quickly healing scorched wound on Tian Yu’s chest, its pupils narrowing suddenly, and it couldn’t help but fix a firm gaze on him.

Tian Yu remained indifferent, saying, "If even this can’t kill me, your enhancement must be nearing its end, right?"

"Let’s die together!"

The Demon Soul’s face turned cold, then its body flared up again with golden fierce flames, powering up to push Tian Yu toward the ground not far away!

In mere breaths, they both crashed into the ground.

"Boom!!"

With a resounding crash, like a miniature sun plummeting to the earth, the rock below shattered layer by layer into debris, forming an awe-inspiring, gigantic blackened pit in an instant!

The gold flames surged within the pit, lingering for a considerable time before slowly dissipating.

At that moment, only one person remained in the pit.

Tian Yu slowly stood up, his figure swaying slightly before he managed to stabilize himself, his front covered with cracked redness, appearing somewhat ragged.

Staring at the gradually dissipating ashes before him, Tian Yu’s eyes revealed deep contemplation.

Just then, a Thunder Light boomed down beside him with a "bang."

"Hey, Tian Yu, are you alright?" Kathu, entwined with lightning chains, studied Tian Yu, "The final outburst of that guy was incredibly terrifying, even more than the legendary skills. Luckily, you drew him away!"

Speaking of this, Kathu’s eyes showed some lingering fear.

If not for Tian Yu timely diverting the opponent’s focus, he might indeed have been in real danger!

"I’m fine." Tian Yu shook his head, his muscles rapidly regenerated, even his aura grew increasingly formidable. "Skills like his, nearly self-destructing, are formidable in sheer power alone."

Kathu nodded, "That’s true, this guy is an energy body, most likely an avatar, no wonder he’s not afraid to die... If I encounter the main body next time, I’ll send them to hell together!"

Kathu snorted coldly, nearly forced to a desperate situation by an avatar’s suicidal move, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Tian Yu, upon hearing this, showed a slight reaction in his eyes.

Canceling the True Form Release, Tian Yu said, "Let’s hurry up and leave. We’re close to the south here; with such a commotion, other Great Flame experts might notice and come over."

"Alright, let’s go."

Though Kathu was arrogant, he wasn’t foolish.

The Chongyang avatar just now was even trickier than expected. He had already initiated the True Form Release, consuming considerable strength. Encountering other experts would be troublesome.

Kathu turned his head to look at the burial site of Xia Xuan and the others, suddenly raising his hand. Thunder Light flashed in the sky, followed by several Thunder Spears swiftly descending.

Tian Yu’s steps froze instantly.

"Bang bang bang...!" Thunder exploded, unleashing a terrifying power.

"What are you doing?" Tian Yu asked.

Kathu laughed heartily, "Since you sealed your cultivation just now, to be safe, I’m just adding a couple more for insurance."

Tian Yu glanced at him twice but said nothing, then flew up and headed straight into the distance.

Kathu also withdrew his True Form Release and followed with a shake of his body.

As the two left, this messy area quickly fell into silence.

Hundreds of meters underground, a mass of black sand mixed in rock and soil.

Above the black sand, large patches of Electric Light flickered, smoothing out the last bit of Electric Light after a while.

Beneath this black sand were Xia Xuan, Xiang Dingqian, and others, severely wounded and unconscious.

After blocking the Electric Light, the black sand quickly dimmed, except for Ji Yuan’s location, where the sand trembled slightly.

"Ugh!"

Ji Yuan let out a soft groan, suddenly waking up, feeling intense pain all over his body, and then abruptly regaining consciousness.

"This is... underground?! What’s going on? Where are Xia Envoy and the others?"

Ji Yuan’s pupils shrank slightly, understanding immediately as an Earth Element Star Card Master that he was deep underground.

Though unaware of what happened after he passed out, it seemed like they were buried here by the enemy.

"It’s good to be alive... Oh, right, Xia Envoy and the others!"

Ji Yuan felt a chill in his heart, hastily deploying Rock and Soil Magic to sense the surroundings.

"Found them!"

Soon, Ji Yuan sensed the presence of Xia Xuan, Tang Jiao, and Xiang Dingqian one after another.

However, the few were already heavily injured and buried so deep, unlikely to last long.

Ji Yuan still did not rashly move to help the other three, instead hiding his presence and noise, first moving upward to check the situation.

Nearing the surface, Ji Yuan activated the Detection Skill to investigate carefully, then carefully emerged and looked around.

"Seems like they’re really gone!" Ji Yuan felt a sense of post-disaster relief, "Time to save people!"

...

After a while, Xia Xuan and others were all rescued and awakened by Ji Yuan using rock and soil.

"Xia Envoy, Xia Envoy?"

"Ugh!"

Xia Xuan opened her eyes, instantly tensing her body in alert.

But upon seeing the disheveled Ji Yuan, Xiang Dingqian, and Tang Jiao, she looked around quickly in surprise.

"Ji Envoy, where are the enemies?" Xia Xuan immediately asked.

Ji Yuan shook his head, saying, "I don’t know either; it seems they’ve gone far."

Ji Yuan explained how he transported them out, then asked, "Xia Envoy, what happened afterward?"

Xia Xuan pondered briefly and said, "Before I passed out, I was about to be buried by that blond grit weaver.

But at that time, the Third Rank’s avatar fully erupted, forcing another enemy to rush down trying to help us..."

Tang Jiao, contemplating, said, "So it seems that the Third Rank’s avatar managed to hold back the enemy."

Everyone looked around and saw the huge pit beside them.

Xiang Dingqian said, "Uncertain whether the enemy was repelled or perished together? Nonetheless, we survived by luck, thanks to Ji Envoy."

Ji Yuan waved his hand, commenting on their survival, "I just woke up a bit earlier than you all. Surviving this time was sheer luck!"

"Honestly, Qiguang’s people are truly arrogant. Fortunately, they are arrogant; otherwise, we might have been wiped out after just a couple of encounters."

Xiang Dingqian nodded.

However, Xia Xuan frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful look.

"Was it really luck?"

She couldn’t help but feel they were overly fortunate this time, with all four managing to survive...

Thinking about Tian Yu’s semblance, Xia Xuan couldn’t help but recall the terrifying power of the other party...

"Xia Envoy." Tang Jiao stepped forward to remind, "Anyway, we should leave this place as soon as possible!"

Xia Xuan snapped back to reality, glanced around, and immediately nodded, "Let’s go!"

The four of them shook off their bodies, dragging their heavily injured selves and retreated south...
