Chapter 428 Flying Thunder Beast
"Sure enough, wanting to use the Flame Power of the hell's snail for training isn't an easy task."
Bai Ziyue realized this, but he wasn't surprised.
The Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, which had not yet reached the Entry Level, naturally found it difficult to completely absorb and contain the fire attack that was comparable to the Third Level of the Mid-stage Divine Realm, all at once.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. At the moment the hell's snail spat out another mass of crimson flame, he casually cast a Small Spirit-Banning Technique.
The Light of Spirit-Banning from the Small Spirit-Banning Technique quickly landed on the mass of crimson flame and immediately sealed it.
This cut off eighty percent of its connection with the hell's snail.
Instantly, the flame dissipated, and its power greatly reduced.
Bai Ziyue, who was prepared, instantly performed the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, transforming it into a Flame Melting Furnace, directly covering the mass of flame.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
The Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace quickly absorbed and transformed it, grinding and refining the entire flame like a millstone.
"Good!"
Bai Ziyue's eyes lit up. He immediately felt the power of his Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace increasing, and the previously stagnant progress of this Divine Skill began to advance again. He instantly realized that his judgment was correct.
Only fire techniques performed by a Great Demon at the Divine Realm Level could affect his Flame Divine Skill Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace.
"Roar!"
The hell's snail roared in anger, with firelight shooting skyward, trampling on fiery clouds, it dashed towards Bai Ziyue like a rainbow.
Bai Ziyue stepped forward, reaching an ultimate speed, and easily forced it back.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Meanwhile, by continuously inputting Dao Primordial Power, the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace kept operating, quickly refining the Flame Power enveloped within.
Then, he struck again, effortlessly evading the hell's snail's repeated attacks, always hovering around it, enticing it to perform flame spells, finding the right opportunity and casually casting a Small Spirit-Banning Technique.
Finally, he used the power of the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace to pull in the Flame Demon Technique weakened by the Small Spirit-Banning Technique and swiftly melted it.
The Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace...
Bai Ziyue continually performed the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, intercepting each of hell's snail's flame attacks.
Five times, ten times, fifteen times, twenty times...
Bai Ziyue didn't care at all about the consumption of Primordial Power, constantly casting Divine Techniques, absorbing and extracting the Flame Demon Technique of the hell's snail like a sponge.
97% uninitiated, 98% uninitiated, 99% uninitiated...
As time went on, the training progress of the Flame Divine Skill Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace slowly grew.
It was only a step away from the Entry Level.
However, by this time, the hell's snail began to panic.
Even though it was a naturally born Flame Demon Beast, performing Fire Attribute Demon Skills as easily as eating and drinking water, Bai Ziyue hadn't allowed any of its attack methods to land on its head. Facing an opponent it couldn't hit or scold, it felt a kind of cathartic pleasure, quite satisfying...
But by continuously performing Flame Demon Techniques, its power would also be depleted and exhausted.
What made it feel more helpless and desperate was, despite using all its methods, it still hadn't caused any harm to the other party.
Its confidently delivered strike on the human in front of it hadn't even broken through the opponent's Defense Spiritual Light.
It wasn't stupid, it naturally understood this was because the opponent's strength far surpassed its own.
It quickly turned and fled.
Bai Ziyue certainly wouldn't allow it to escape, stepped out.
Shrinking Inches!
With a swift motion, he appeared in front of it, casually casting a Small Spirit-Banning Technique.
"Roar!"
The hell's snail let out a startled roar, not daring to attack back, and fled once more.
Bai Ziyue frowned, shadow-following like a ghost.
"Awoo..."
From the hell's snail, a strong surge of fear emanated. Almost instinctively, it spat out, producing a mass of emerald green flame, distinct from any previous Flame Demon Techniques.
The moment it spat out this green flame, the aura around the hell's snail instantly weakened a bit, and it looked at Bai Ziyue with unwillingness and resentment, stepping on fire, floating in the air, quickly fleeing into the distance.
As it fled, it roared, a voice shaking the void, echoing for hundreds of miles.
Bai Ziyue vaguely sensed the true intention behind its roar, understanding it was trying to reach out to surrounding Demon Beasts for help.
He wanted to quickly strike and kill it.
But this mass of green flame before him made it hard for him to give up.
This green flame must be its Lifebound Demon Fire. After absorbing volcanic magma for hundreds of years, it had refined this mass, having immense power, surpassing all previous Flame Demon Techniques combined, and possessing a lively, mysterious aura.
He instantly determined that once this green fire was refined into his Flame Divine Skill Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, it would inevitably help this Divine Skill reach Entry Level and cause it to metamorphose, greatly increasing its power.
"This place is a good three hundred miles from the Fourth-Grade Spirit Meridian where the Golden Core Realm Demon Monarch is located.
Even if the hell's snail's voice were louder, it could indeed spread over three hundred miles, catching the attention of the Golden Core Realm Demon Monarch.
But calculating by the speed of sound transmission, it would take at least four hundred and fifty seconds.
Four hundred and fifty seconds, that's slightly over seven minutes.
"Such a long time was enough for me to quickly slay it and escape."
Bai Ziyue's thoughts flashed, and he immediately felt reassured. *He didn't believe he would be so unlucky that the Golden Core Realm Demon Monarch would happen to come out from the Fourth-Grade Spirit Meridian and arrive nearby.*
Without hesitation, he quickly unleashed the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace.
The three-colored flame immediately transformed into a furnace, directly covering the green flame and completely enveloping it.
At the same time, the Dao Primordial Power within Bai Ziyue's body surged like the endless currents of Jiangg Hee, continuously strengthening the Divine Power and rapidly beginning to refine the green flame.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
The void twisted, producing a puff of cyan smoke.
Bai Ziyue controlled the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, slowly wearing down and refining the green flame.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After a full five breaths, he suddenly felt a significant increase in his control over the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, and some flame manipulation methods naturally surfaced in his mind, making him feel at ease.
He immediately understood that his fifth Divine Technique, the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace, had reached the Entry Level.
*Overjoyed, he continued to enhance it. The remaining green flame was immediately refined and completely integrated into the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace.*
The three-colored flame surprisingly gained an extra layer of glow, transforming into a four-colored flame.
Not having the time to rejoice, Bai Ziyue immediately caught sight of hell's snail rapidly fleeing away. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
*He was never one to have a good temper. Being struck by so many attacks before and enduring the searing heat of the flames was not something pleasant. Naturally, he needed to retaliate now.*
"You can't escape!"
Bai Ziyue moved his feet, stepping forward in one stride.
Swish!
In an instant, he appeared nearly one hundred and seventy yards away.
After one step, there was another.
Under the Shrinking Inches, Bai Ziyue's speed was truly astonishing, reaching the extreme.
In just three or four steps, he had already caught up with hell's snail from behind. Without any hesitation, a glow filled with destruction, life slaying, and desolation quickly shot out.
Divine Technique, Silent Extinction Divine Light!
"Roar..."
Hell's snail let out a startled roar, speaking in the language of Demon Beasts, as if questioning, extremely panicked and in utter despair.
"Screech!"
Just at this moment, an earth-shattering screech suddenly echoed from the sky.
Soon afterward, a terrifying giant beast, like lightning, charged straight down from the sky.
This giant beast, entirely emerald green, was covered in scales the size of palm, interlocking across its body, flashing with a faint glow.
Moreover, on its back, it had a pair of flesh wings, each span as long as twenty yards. Each flap of its wings would increase its speed a bit more.
Its speed was also at the extreme, not weaker than Bai Ziyue's in the slightest.
Its eyes were cold, seemingly indifferent to everything.
As its body cut through the long sky, there seemed to be electric light flashing, causing a sizzling sound to resonate through the air.
Hell's snail immediately emitted a joyful sound, as if it had narrowly escaped death.
"Thunder Beast! Flying Thunder Beast!
And it's a Flying Thunder Beast whose strength has reached the Late-stage Divine Realm."
Bai Ziyue felt a chill in his heart and quickly identified the giant beast's identity.
This was a being with a bloodline talent not weaker than hell's snail, innately possessing the Thunder Control Skill, incredibly formidable.
*He didn't expect that nearby, there would still be such a terrifying existence hidden.*
However, when Bai Ziyue looked at hell's snail, seeing its jubilation, he coldly spoke, "Being happy now is a bit too early."
The Silent Extinction Divine Light flashed like a lightning bolt, swiftly tearing through the sky, directly covering it.
Hell's snail was alarmed and horrified, flames instantly erupted over its body, forming a defensive shield. With a moment's hesitation, it opened its mouth, spitting out a fist-sized, fiery red Flesh Pill.
Once the Flesh Pill emerged, a sulfur-like odor spread, directly facing off the light.
At this moment, it was obviously fighting for its life, even summoning its Demon Core.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
However, the moment its Demon Core collided with the Silent Extinction Divine Light, it was quickly worn away, turning into a mist of blood, consumed completely.
The remaining force of the Silent Extinction Divine Light did not diminish, directly landing on its body, instantly extinguishing its vitality.
Bai Ziyue did not stop, taking a stride to come to its side. With a slight gesture, he collected its corpse into the Storage Bag. Then, stepping forward again, he quickly retreated into the distance.
A Late-stage Divine Realm Flying Thunder Beast had an extremely strong threat level. Naturally, he did not want to confront it easily.
Especially within these Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"Roar!"
The Flying Thunder Beast was enraged, not expecting a mere human to slay hell's snail right under its nose.
Its flesh wings immediately unfurled, with violent thunder light bursting out. Then, its body plummeted, quickly transforming into a stream of light, directly chasing after him.
