Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road-Chapter 884: The Sand Rain That Vitrifies Everything
Chapter 884: The Sand Rain That Vitrifies Everything
The sound of the battle was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. She summoned the purple fire, transforming it into a solid purple lotus. The purple lotus bloomed magnificently, strangely beautiful and mesmerizingly powerful. The surroundings turned purple, and the intense heat forced everyone to retreat.
The searing heat of the purple fire burned away every sand spell cast by the Glass Lizard Ancestor. Though she suffered some injuries, they weren’t severe enough to prevent her from continuing the battle that still hadn’t determined a winner.
The eyes of the Glass Lizards watching the battle widened in shock. It was rare to see someone who could perfectly and effortlessly solidify their spiritual power into a form as solid as a weapon. Normally, it would take several seconds to solidify such a spell, but this girl had done it in less than a blink of an eye.
Not only had she created one solid blooming lotus from purple fire, but she also continued to create countless lotuses from it.
She was merely a Golden Immortal, yet her cultivation allowed her to display such powerful techniques. They couldn’t imagine what kind of terrifying storm she would unleash if she advanced to a higher realm.
They sweated nervously for their ancestor. It seemed they had provoked the wrong person. Not to mention, the group of individuals accompanying her weren’t weaker than she was either.
A question popped into their minds: Were these intruders from the Elemental Domain?
"What are you looking at? Never seen a pretty fox like me?" Xiao Li lifted his chin arrogantly.
"Look at what? Be careful, or I’ll blind your eyes with my handsomeness," Lu Long added, twisting his waist with narcissism.
The Glass Lizards who had been peeking: "..."
While they indulged in their self-admiration, the battle grew more intense.
It was true that she was powerful despite her young age and cultivation level, but at the same time, it wasn’t easy to defeat the Glass Lizard Ancestor.
Her right hand flipped Xuan, the black sword, which changed shape and transformed into a mysterious black fan, intricately carved with golden lotuses and peach blossom vines. She swung Xuan, dispersing the magical sand that seemed harmless on the surface, but in truth, was extremely dangerous.
One could see just how powerful the spell cast by the Glass Lizard Ancestor was. Everywhere the sand passed, everything around turned into glass.
Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes flashed with understanding. So, the sand spell could turn everything into glass, even water and clouds. The glass wasn’t much different from crystal. It looked beautiful, but it was lifeless. If she were hit by that sand, she would be turned into a lifeless glass sculpture. The name "Glass Lizard" wasn’t given lightly. Now she understood.
The Glass Lizard Ancestor’s golden eyes narrowed. This young girl was difficult to deal with. His cultivation was one full realm higher than hers, yet he still couldn’t defeat her. She had sustained very few injuries.
He suddenly transformed into his human form, wearing a golden hanfu embroidered with golden sand. A pair of horns adorned the top of his head. Atop his long dark golden hair was a golden hairpin. A few wrinkles marked his dignified face.
He summoned sand from the sky. The sand began to fall like rain, and everywhere it touched turned into glass, while the tree she had stood on moments ago dissolved into trillions of grains of sand.
"The sand rain that vitrifies everything?" She was stunned. She had never seen sand falling from the sky like rain in this manner. She whispered a spell, causing her blooming lotuses to grow more leaves. The leaves extended, wrapping her figure protectively inside the flower.
However, the more the sand rain fell, the less her lotus shields could withstand it. The sand seemed sentient, targeting only her. It moved with intelligence, following her every step, increasing in gravity and power as it attacked her shields. Eventually, when several lotus leaves turned into glass, she decided to change her method of defense.
She immediately threw Xuan into the sky just as all her shields were destroyed. Xuan transformed into a massive umbrella, shielding her from the storm. However, Xuan’s surface began to turn into glass after blocking the sand rain.
"Xuan!" she exclaimed. Before she could react further to Xuan’s condition, the glass shattered from the inside, and Xuan returned to its normal form. Not only had it successfully shielded her, but it also flew into the sky, devouring the sand rain, just like it had swallowed thunder and lightning before.
Xuan was like a happy child eating popping candy, the kind that crackled and popped joyfully as it dissolved.
"Impossible! What the hell is that thing?!" The voice of the Glass Lizard Ancestor changed, his expression like someone witnessing a cow flying in the Mortal Realm.
Even the Glass Lizards were full of disbelief. Their ancestor’s glass sand skill had been passed down since the clan’s founding thousands of years ago. That skill had never failed to turn anything into glass. Once a thing, or any living being, was turned to glass, it couldn’t return to its original form unless the caster undid the spell.
Moreover, what in the popping candy world was happening?
Why could that weird black thing swallow the enchanted sand from the sky without turning into glass?
Everyone’s jaws dropped. They were too speechless to move or react. The area fell into an eerie silence, like a haunted field.
"I lost. You can take as many Sunfire Crystals as you want," the Glass Lizard Ancestor finally said, blowing his beard. If he had a white flag, he would not have hesitated to wave it.
He now understood what it meant to be favored by the heavens. Even though he was stronger, he had lost to her because of that bizarre black sword that could transform into such an absurd umbrella. That sword was the natural nemesis of his clan’s spell.
"You guys, take them to find the Sunfire Crystals," he ordered, waving his sleeve and letting out a deep breath. His expression looked like he had just swallowed a fly.
"Ancestor, this..." someone tried to protest.
"Ancestor, you haven’t lost yet. Why did you surrender to them?" Others voiced their unwillingness. Clearly, none of them had expected such an outcome.
"Unless you’d prefer challenging her and her companions yourselves?" The Ancestor smacked the nearest lizard’s head.
The lips of the Glass Lizards twitched. Their ancestor had to be joking. How in the glass lizard world were they supposed to fight someone who had battled their ancestor for nearly an hour without showing any sign of defeat?
And even worse, she possessed that terrifying sand-eater too. Fight her? And with that sand-devouring abomination on her side? They’d rather eat glass.
