With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 622 - 552: Meng Jigang Battles the Flame Demon Alone, the Four Arhats Break the Demon Tide Together! (6k)_2
This characteristic holds only one effect called [Fire Poison]—
When running the Heart Fire Qi, the palm’s wind carries a certain amount of red sand-like fire poison.
This substance can either confuse the mind lightly or, in more severe cases, corrode the body; its effect varies from person to person.
At this moment, the feedback feeling from his body feels similar to the intrusion of fire poison.
Upon hearing Meng Chuan’s order, all the soldiers donned their armor.
As they gradually delved deeper into the Demon Nest passage, the heat in the air became more concentrated.
Substantial sand-like fog masses rushed forward, hitting the bodies of many martial artist soldiers.
In an instant, there was a cacophony of harsh, overlapping scraping sounds; scorch marks were etched out on their armor.
Thanks to the heavy armor protecting them, everyone felt relieved.
If they didn’t wear armor and their flesh came into contact with this fire poison, how could they bear it?
At the forefront, Liao Chen and several officers maintained their True Qi flowing on their bodies’ surfaces to block the fire poison’s corrosion.
Looking at Meng Chuan, around him was only a faint halo of fire light, with no trace of True Qi visible.
"Captain, what kind of hard skills are you cultivating that can resist the fire poison of [Fiery Sun Heaven]?"
Next to him, Liao Hai admired him greatly, took two steps closer, poked Meng Chuan’s arm, and asked.
Meng Chuan looked at him; his body was shrouded in water attribute True Qi, as if covered with a water film.
He was, besides himself, the person who resisted the fire poison with utmost ease.
Meng Chuan laughed:
"Master Liaohai, mainly it’s because of my special physique, coupled with the joint effects of several hard skills."
"Alright then..."
Liao Hai looked regretful but had to give up, retreating to his position.
It’s said he is a genius in Horizontal Training Holy Body and hard skills, and today he lives up to his reputation.
Hard skills cultivation particularly tests the innate talent of the body.
He had only practiced a few, just to strengthen physical capacity, and wasn’t suitable for this path, so he couldn’t insist.
Meng Chuan turned back and smiled, not deliberately hiding anything.
He couldn’t just say that this is just one of his numerous innate qualities...
...
The passage in the Chi Li Demon Nest seems very long.
Meng Chuan estimated that the main force had been advancing for at least half an hour.
"Is the length of the Demon Nest passage related to the dimensional gap distance with the human world?"
If the passage of a low-level Demon Nest is short, it proves its dimensional distance from the human world is close.
The higher the Demon Nest’s level, the greater the dimensional distance from the human world, and the longer the passage.
Until they are peering into the human world, those demons outside of the world of Shang Hao.
Their distance from the human world might be so vast that it’s difficult to measure using units like "length."
Their purpose is to shorten the dimension and invade the human world.
The development of human martial arts aims to widen the dimension to prevent them from coming in. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
In this short distance, there might be a certain node, like the mark on the rope in a tug-of-war.
Once the mark leans towards the opponent, the battle is lost...
Meng Chuan nodded slightly; having experienced this personally now, he realized this conjecture might not be far off.
"The ultimate darkness is still asleep, and the Celestial Demon Marshal cannot come through; could it also be related to the dimensional distance?"
How do strong human beings enter to harvest precious resources?
Many strong Divine Weapons and armors, even high-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, come from various ultimate darknesses.
Moreover, if there exists a "dimensional barrier where humans and demons cannot meet."
How will the upcoming Taihang Mountain [Luo Tian Grand Ceremony] extinguish the mountain’s whispers?
"Could it be that the human world’s dimensional laws can unilaterally function, ineffective against certain strong humans...at a certain level?"
It’s not for everyone.
If so, it would be impossible for their group of over a thousand to walk this long without having entered the Demon Nest.
Meng Chuan licked his lips; maybe it’s a "high-level martial arts theory" that only those at the Venerable or Celestial King level can consider...
It’s just like the power of intention.
When he exhibits the intention before ordinary people, turning his body into a Fire Domain, it is like the fire god Zhuhong reappearing in the world.
"The dimension principle" to him is akin to how ordinary people look at him, separated by layers of thick barriers.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan curbed his curiosity and stopped speculating.
When cultivation reaches the right level, all truths will be revealed.
...
The passage path widened, stretching outward from the inside like the mouth of a trumpet.
Everyone could see a flickering firelight at the front, like the sight at the passage’s exit.
Meng Chuan, leading the way, solidified his perception, spreading it into invisible ripples far away.
After advancing a little longer, the firelight ahead continued to magnify.
Until it was as large as a wall, blazing fiercely without pause.
He slowed down, stepping very lightly.
He straightened his right hand backward, slowly waving down to give a signal.
The leading officer understood and mirrored his action, relaying the signal backward, instantly slowing the entire march.
Walking alongside him, Liao Chen saw his actions, furrowed his brow, and craned his neck to observe.
After watching for a long time, he still couldn’t detect anything.
But Liao Chen understood in his heart where the problem was.
"Donor Meng, is there an issue with that firelight ahead?"
Meng Chuan shook his head, not speaking at first.
He crouched down, his fingertips brushing the ground, feeling the earth vein’s vibrations.
The ground was covered with rocks, not showing any signs of jumping or trembling.
"Earth Vein Rock Sense" activated, only he could feel the slightest tremor frequency.
Combining it with the feedback from the Qi Observation Skill, Meng Chuan’s heart was on alert.
He beckoned, gathering the four monks beside him, and slowly began to speak:
"The firelight ahead is not the Demon Nest scene of [Fiery Sun Heaven]..."
"What is it then?"
The four monks furrowed their brows tightly; having an unexpected situation before even entering the Demon Nest was not a good omen.
The five of them stood still, and the army behind also halted, ready for action.
