Chapter 818 (1/2)

Chapter 818: 818

The chanting was grand and powerful . It was like the murmuring of the G.o.ds . It grew louder and louder . The cavern was shaking as the chanting filled the entire world .

“The Nirvana Scripture!”

Long Chen’s heart shook . He hadn’t done anything and wasn’t the one who had activated the Nirvana Scripture . It was the Nirvana Scripture that had automatically activated itself .

Back in the Pill Tower when he had obtained the Nirvana Scripture, he had used it to resist the suppression of the Cry of the Heavenly Daos even without the divine ring . Its power was incredibly great .

But once he had left the Pill Tower and abandoned his ident.i.ty as Long San, he had no longer needed to conceal the divine ring . So he hadn’t used the Nirvana Scripture again .

Although the Nirvana Scripture was powerful, it was greatly lacking compared to the divine ring . But now it had appeared on its own .

All of Long Chen’s spiritual yuan and attention was focused on controlling the Raging Flame Prison . He hadn’t had the slightest bit of energy left over to activate the Nirvana Scripture .

As the Nirvana Scripture activated, the chanting grew more and more resounding . Long Chen suddenly noticed that the Raging Flame Prison, which had been on the verge of collapsing, had suddenly begun to grow stronger . Its runes grew brighter and brighter .

“The Nirvana Scripture can actually draw out all the flame energy in the world for me to use!” Long Chen suddenly realized that he had underestimated the Pill Tower’s sacred flame canon .

He hastily formed hand seals, supporting the Raging Flame Prison . At the same time, he also began to chant . Although he didn’t know the scripture’s meaning, when he had cultivated the Nirvana Scripture, that sound was deeply imprinted in his head . He was unable to forget it even if he tried, and he felt a subtle closeness toward it .

His voice wasn’t the slightest bit sluggish as he chanted . The words just floated out of him . As he chanted, the chanting in the air grew even louder .

The flame energy of the world flowed toward the Raging Flame Prison . It grew stronger and stronger, no longer seeming on the verge of breaking .

“Flame Prison Deathblow!”

Long Chen was excited as he activated the deathblow form . The Raging Flame Prison instantly shrank, compressing the Eight-Arm Horned Devil .

As it shrank, the three-meter Eight-Arm Horned Devil was also forced to shrink . Its skin had already begun to char this time, and black layers of it began to shed . When that skin shed, it instantly turned to ash .

As that skin fell, Long Chen suddenly noticed a ma.s.s of runes where the Eight-Arm Horned Devil’s flesh should be .

That was a slight secret to how this puppet had been made . Those runes should be the crux of how the Eight-Arm Horned Devil had maintained eighty percent of its power, while also retaining some of its battle instinct .

Long Chen continued to chant the Nirvana Scripture as he compressed the Raging Flame Prison . Heaven and earth raged . The flame prison’s power continued to increase . The Eight-Arm Horned Devil was now just compressed into a five-foot cube . It was impossible to tell its original figure anymore .

BOOM!

Finally, the Eight-Arm Horned Devil was compressed to the peak and exploded . Its flesh and runes had only just erupted when they were burned to ash . The runes were instantly ignited with flames, and a piercing burning smell gushed forth .

Long Chen also collapsed on the ground and fainted . This time, he had harshly overdrafted his spiritual yuan and Spiritual Strength .

If the Nirvana Scripture hadn’t appeared in the end and let him see some hope, he probably wouldn’t have been able to endure for so long .

Even unconscious, he felt like a million needles were stabbing into his head . He was filled with pain .

He knew this was a self-protective instinct of the soul . It was using this pain to provoke him, not letting him enter a state of quasi-death . If his soul did enter a quasi-death state, then it would be impossible to awaken without some outside force .

Furthermore, in that state, his Spiritual Strength might completely run out . Then he would really die .

After an unknown amount of time, Long Chen opened his eyes . The cavern was still there, but that fierce Eight-Arm Horned Devil was gone .

His head still hurt intensely . He consumed a soul nouris.h.i.+ng pill to alleviate the pain .

However, his body was still in a weak and feeble state . It was like he was ill . That was a symptom of overdrafting his spiritual yuan, but that wasn’t something he was worried about . Overdrafting spiritual yuan wasn’t as bad as overdrafting Spiritual Strength .
