Chapter 4012: The Snake Devours the Elephant
Qi were swaying: "By chance, I devoured the Ghost Qi of a strong warrior from the Netherworld and made it the foundation of my cultivation."Although everything else in this desolate realm is fine, it...At this moment, in Jiang Yun's eyes, it was as if he truly saw a gigantic elephant engulfed in flames, towering above him, looking down with disdain.
On his own body, there was a snake condensed from the fire path.
The giant elephant had raised its colossal foot, like a pillar supporting the sky, and stomped down towards the snake, intending to completely extinguish the flames on its body and crush it to death.
Faced with the earth-shattering might emanating from the giant elephant, the snake was clearly unable to resist. It had gradually shrunk its body until it was tightly coiled into a ball.
Even so, the cobra's hood remained raised, refusing to lower itself. It flicked its tongue and stared fearlessly at the giant elephant.
Even disregarding everything else, the sheer difference in size between them makes it impossible for Jiang Yun to even begin to comprehend the essence of this wisp of the Great Emperor's aura.
Fortunately, that gigantic humanoid belongs to Jiang Yun's guardian path.
Its existence provided a certain level of protection to the Way of Fire, allowing it to momentarily withstand the Emperor's Realm.
And Ginger Cloud, however, slowly closed her eyes.
Allowing his fire path to continue its standoff with the emperor's realm, he no longer paid attention to the searing pain that spread throughout his body.
In his mind, scenes began to appear.
In the painting, a young Jiang Yun is first seen. He's fanning furiously at the flames beneath a stone pot. Despite being drenched in sweat, seeing the flames grow higher and envelop the stone pot fills him with joy.
Next, the scene shifted, and Dongfang Bo appeared, eloquently explaining to Jiang Yun what magic was all about.
"The techniques encompass all things, naturally there are levels of distinction, and they are closely related to cultivation. I'll start with the most basic five-element techniques!"
That was when Jiang Yun had just arrived at Zang Feng and stepped onto the path of cultivation. It was also because of Dongfang Bo's detailed account that Jiang Yun chose the first kind of spell he practiced in his life - the Fire Affinity Spell! The next scene is the process of Jiang Yun practicing the Fire Affinity Spell.
Although he mastered the fire spells quickly, the flames he conjured were only tiny flickers and completely lacked any power.
However, he was not discouraged. After much deliberation, he realized the key to casting the spell lay in controlling his spiritual energy.
Thus, he began to let his qi take shape, picking up the stones on the ground one by one to try and train his control over his qi.
Until the flames he wielded from his hand were no longer tiny sparks, but a variety of flames that obeyed his every whim.
Then, the scene continues to change, but no matter how it changes, all the sights presented in the scene are related to fire.
In short, what flashed in Jiang Yun's mind at this moment was all his experiences related to the Fire Dao of Cultivation, from the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation until now! In just a few breaths, the scenes formed by these experiences quickly flickered through Jiang Yun's mind over and over again.
Ginger Cloud just sat there, reminiscing and pondering. And as he once again finished viewing all the pictures, they suddenly began to play backwards at an even faster speed than before.
When the canvas finally stopped, within it appeared a small house built of ice and snow. Inside sat a very old man with white hair.
This elder was the patriarch of the Snow Clan from the ancient Shan Hai realm! In the painting, the Snow Clan patriarch pointed at Jiang Yun with a finger. At his fingertip, there was a tiny flame dancing.
"This is magic!"
And then, Grandfather's fingers flicked lightly, and the flame suddenly extended outward, transforming into a straight fire dragon.
"This is the law!"
And then, the other four fingers of the old man also trembled gently at the same time, and a fire dragon shot out from each finger. The five fire dragons spanned before Jiang Yun's face.
This is magic!
Finally, Grandpa spread his hands wide open. On each of his ten fingers, streaks of fire dragons started to appear, flowing continuously out from his palms.
In the blink of an eye, this small snow house was completely engulfed in flames, turning into a sea of fire.
The elder of the Xue clan looked at Jiang Yun and said, "This is it! This is Daoism!"
To this point, all the images in Jiang Yun's mind instantly froze. The flames that filled the sky within those images also came to a standstill, completely motionless.
At this moment, Ginger Cloud suddenly slowly extended a finger.
Then he saw that within the stillness of the painting, a spark of fire had emerged, breaking free from the canvas and fluttering onto his fingertips.
Looking at the flickering flame swaying up and down, Jiang Yun murmured, "The old man of the Xue Clan was right, technique is a point, method is a line, and Daoism is a surface."
But, all methods return to one, and all paths converge into one stream!
I don't know what the Emperor's Realm is, and I don't know if it's higher than the Dao or if there's something even higher.
As his words fell, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and gazed calmly at the giant elephant formed from the Emperor's Realm.
But, I know, I am a cultivator of the Dao, I cultivate the Dao.
"In my place, heaven and earth are vast, but the Dao is greatest of all!"
Even the grandest imperial scenery is formed by countless sparks constantly converging and merging.
"Then, my Fire Path, of course, can also devour it, fuse it, and make it mine, transforming it into... my Way!"
Scatter!
A fiery light kindled in Jiang Yun's eyes. Raising his finger, which blazed with embers, he pointed gently at the giant elephant before him.
That tiny, insignificant flame that fell onto the elephant was like a boulder dropped into a still pond.
Suddenly, the elephant, which had been boasting and showing off its might, trembled violently throughout its massive body.
Then, the tiny flame instantly spread apart, creating countless ripples that covered the enormous body of the elephant, which had been formed from roaring flames.
The next moment, the elephant's body abruptly separated into countless tiny flames.
"Swallow!"
The serpent, always swirling around Ginger Cloud's body, condensed from the Fire Dao, suddenly opened its mouth and devoured the countless fire sparks! Although these sparks still emitted intense heat and refused to be swallowed by the serpent, they were powerless to resist and could only reluctantly fall into the serpent's belly.
Once again, the past fades away. The emperor's intent and realm have been completely devoured by Jiang Yun's Fire Dao, leaving nothing behind.
The serpent swallowed the elephant whole! At the same time, Emperor Xuanyuan, who had been paying close attention to Jiang Yun, suddenly saw that the gigantic illusory figure, which was still burning with flames, was gradually merging with Jiang Yun's body.
Although Emperor Xuanyuan didn't know exactly what Jiang Yun had just gone through, seeing this scene made it clear to him. Jiang Yun had already completed the devouring of the Great Emperor's realm.
Otherwise, the two completely different flames on Jiang Yun and the illusory humanoid body would be impossible to merge so smoothly together.
"Such a fast completion of the fusion, this kid, how did he do it"
For Emperor Xuanyuan, who had witnessed Jiang Yun's entry into the reincarnation realm, he thought nothing more could surprise him about Jiang Yun. Yet, at this moment, he was once again shocked.
However, his shock was just beginning.
The next moment, he couldn't help himself and let out an incredible exclamation! Because, after Jiang Yun and the illusory figure merged, above Jiang Yun's head, within the flames that were still burning, a blurry path slowly appeared.
This road is not only incredibly wide, but there are also wisps of burning flames swirling on it! "This is his Emperor's Road!"
