Chapter 300 The Bead Changes Ownership

There are ten pillars in front of me, just like the ones I saw before, carved from white jade, with dragons coiling and phoenixes rising, monkeys climbing and cranes flying, and the carvings are exquisite.

However, the arrangement of the pillars is a little different this time. They are in two rings. The five pillars on the outermost side correspond to the five elements, which is the big ring, about ten feet in radius. The inner ring is the real fire ring, that is, the real fire extracted from the five elements such as fire in water and fire in wood.

From a distance, it looks like a pool of different sizes. In the center of the pool, a ball of flickering flame is burning with difficulty. This fire is not self-ignited, but also requires wicks and candle oil. At the moment, the candle oil under this flame has burned out, so the flame is also a little weak.

Looking at this flame, Wu Yi narrowed his eyes. This flame is actually similar to the breath of the black beetle. If the guess is correct, the true body of the black beetle is this flame, and the beetle is just an external appearance.

God has mercy on Wu Yi. He has been with the black beetle for ten years, but he only saw the real body of the black beetle today. If the candle oil was not running out, the black beetle would have told him at some point.

Wu Yi jumped into the pool. Here, he could vaguely see the scene when the pool was overflowing that day. There were dark red bloodstains left. When he touched it with his hand, thousands of unwilling roars hit Wu Yi's mind, and he was so scared that he quickly withdrew his palm.

I don't know how long it has been. The obsession of the creatures who died here that day is still so powerful. If they were alive, Wu Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"I'm afraid I can't help you." After a groping, Wu Yi put his hands behind his back and said lightly. It's not that he refused. With his current cultivation, he was not enough to see such a powerful person, let alone capture and kill them.

The black beetle walked towards the flame in the center alone, his abdomen bulged, his front teeth opened, and a turbulent airflow gushed out. The flickering flame was blown out by the wind.

It went out. Wu Yi was shocked. He couldn't believe what he saw. Could it be that the flame was not the real body of the black beetle, or did the black beetle deliberately let him see this scene?

"You can, and only you can." The black beetle's tone was unprecedentedly solemn and serious.

Wu Yi's calm expression disappeared. It was rare to see the black beetle so serious. He didn't dare to slack off and said: "What should I do?"

"Just light another flame."

Wu Yi walked to the center. Since he saw that this flame came from the "Huanyuan Huanyuan Dadao Sutra", it was not difficult for Wu Yi, who practiced this sutra, to light a new flame.

Just as he was about to start, Wu Yi suddenly stopped and asked the black beetle, "Do you have to light the flame?"

The black beetle's eyes condensed, and a strange light appeared, but then it converged. The Burning Emperor comprehended and practiced the fire-related Dadao - the Burning Dadao, but Wu Yi didn't. Why should he act according to the Burning Emperor's path?

After the black beetle understood Wu Yi's intention, he said nothing more and replied, "It's up to you."

Wu Yi smiled and immediately formed a flame and water wave in the center of the pool. It was the magical power Taiyi Xishui and Buju Hanyan.

Looking at the two magical powers that evolved, Wu Yi was a little dissatisfied. He changed his mind and transformed into a turtle and a snake, still in a coiled posture.

The turtle and the snake became, and the place suddenly trembled, as if it could collapse at any time. Wu Yi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"The beads will change hands, so they will naturally not be stable. You have to go through some tests." The black beetle spoke gracefully, neither hurried nor slow.

"What, why didn't you say it before?" Wu Yi said with some resentment.

"With your intelligence, you can guess it, right? Stop talking nonsense and focus on dealing with the crisis." The black beetle smiled wickedly and left the place, hiding somewhere unknown.

Wu Yi looked around, and ten towering pillars seemed to lock him in two layers of cages. The rare and exotic beasts engraved on the pillars jumped down one by one, roaring loudly, without any reason at all, as if they wanted to tear Wu Yi to pieces.

These were the remnants of the true spirits that remained in the pillars after being killed by the Burning Emperor. They were restrained by the pillars and could not leave, becoming existences similar to instrument spirits. After countless years of tempering, they were already weak, but these tens of thousands were still terrifying.

A turtle and a snake surrounded Wu Yi, the red snake attacked, the black turtle defended, one attack and one defense, complementing each other.

For one hour, two hours, there was no change in the sun, moon and stars here, and Wu Yi didn't know how long he had been fighting. These remnants continued to come. Although their cultivation was not high, some were even worse than spirit ghosts, just a group of evil ghosts.

However, it would take a long time to kill a group of pigs, not to mention that there were powerful people among the remnants. Wu Yi had to be alert all the time to prevent any mistakes, so his mental energy consumption was naturally much greater.

Wu Yi's eyes were red. Facing the endless remnants, it was naturally most convenient to use the many magical powers of the Netherworld to dissipate them. However, since he used the turtle and snake, he could no longer use other means and spells. It seemed to be the limitation of this place, otherwise Wu Yi would not be so embarrassed.

Remnants are remnants after all. Although there are many, they can't cause much harm to Wu Yi. Spending time to grind them will always be effective, and the changes in the next Avenue Pillars will be the real test.

The towering Avenue Pillars melted like flowing water and evolved into insects, the size of calves, a total of ten, with monstrous momentum, the same number as the Avenue Pillars. From the color of the insects' carapaces, you can tell which Avenue Pillar they belong to.

These insects all represent a kind of great way, and they all use the true great way. If you look at them in terms of quality, they can easily crush Wu Yi.

Wu Yi's real breakthrough lies in winning by sheer numbers. The flame in the center was blown out by the black beetle. These insects may have been glorious in the past, but now they are just candles in the wind, paper tigers.

Wu Yi raised his spirit and fought with the group of insects. For a while, it was difficult to tell the difference. The battle was fierce. Even if he was brushed by the strong wind caused by the attack of these insects, Wu Yi would have many scars on his body. If he was hit by the attack, it was common for his limbs to be broken, and he almost fell apart.

He could not fight hard. Wu Yi took a defensive position. With his strong stamina, he survived round after round of attacks and finally saw a glimmer of victory.

However, at the last moment, a sudden change occurred. All the insects rushed into the red snake's body. Originally, the turtle and snake were equally strong, but now the red snake is much stronger than the black turtle.

Even beyond Wu Yi's control, the red snake swallowed the black turtle in one gulp, and a blazing fire emerged from its body. The Dao rhyme of the Great Dao of Burning permeated out, squeezing out the Dao rhyme that Wu Yi himself had comprehended.

The black beetle looked at everything in front of him coldly, as if he had expected it.

I'd better roll on the ground and beg for votes. Morality is too fake. I was scolded by my mother again.
