The so-called fire essence is a creature with pure fire power that is spawned by the extreme concentration of the power of the fire path. In addition to the fire essence, the other five elements' power, as long as it is condensed and pure enough, will also give birth to the essence of the five elements such as water essence and wood essence.
Spirits of the five elements, such as fire spirits and water spirits, are usually classified as spirits, just like the spirits in the previous palace complex. However, in fact, such creatures themselves do not have spiritual intelligence. The spiritual intelligence they embody essentially comes from the will of the Great Dao and is the manifestation of the Will of the Great Dao.
It can be said that the essence of the Five Elements is actually more like a clone of the Five Elements Dao, or a puppet controlled by the will of the Dao. However, this does not mean that the spiritual intelligence of these five elements spirits will be very high. Judging from human spiritual standards, they may not be as good as the spirits in the previous palace complex.
This is actually not surprising. If Dao's will is the same as that of human beings, then the world may really be coming to an end.
As the saying goes, "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things as sluts." If the world had the same intelligence as humans, they would have the same emotions and desires as humans, and it would be impossible to "treat all things as sluts." What will happen if man possesses supreme power? Then it is conceivable what things will be done if heaven and earth possess man's wisdom.
Therefore, the will of the great road is not advanced from a spiritual point of view, it is just something vaguely close to instinct. For example, fire can burn, release high temperature, and emit light. These can be called fire instincts. Water can nourish all things, float boats, and always flows from high to low. This is the nature of water.
However, the creatures whose bodies were made of flames that appeared around Ye Zan and others at this time were not the fire spirits that people thought.
Ye Zan was able to make such a judgment, not because of their intelligence. After all, there was no real fight yet. However, relying on the power of the Eye of True Knowledge, Ye Zan has already seen that their power is not completely harmonious with the power of the fire path in this space.
In the eyes of Ye Zan's true knowledge, the group of flame creatures surrounding his group were somewhat similar to the "Western Dragon" transformed by Cheng Pan. The nature of the power they possess is similar to the path of fire in this space, but it does not originate from the power of the path of fire. In other words, they exist here, but they were not born here. In fact, like Ye Zan and others, they are outsiders in this space.
This made Ye Zan think of a special creature called an elemental creature that appeared in similar literary and artistic works as the "Western Dragon".
Of course, Ye Zan just thought so and could not really confirm whether these things were really fire elemental bodies.
Ye Zan knew that a large part of the ancient Chinese mythology in the world of science and technology was influenced by Xuanyuan Taozu. Therefore, some of the beings in ancient Chinese mythology can find their prototypes in this world. But what influence did this Western mythology have? He had never heard from Xuanyuan Daozu that Western mythology had been influenced by him, and he had never heard of anyone else in this world who had been to the world of technology.
Maybe it's just a coincidence! Ye Zan could only think this way. Maybe when this matter is over, he can ask Daozu Xuanyuan again.
In any case, for Ye Zan and others, the most important thing now is not to figure out the origin of these fire elemental bodies, but how to break through the positive and negative five elements formation under their obstruction.
"These fire spirits seem to be a little weird!" True Lord Qinghong used his flying sword, and after killing several fire elemental bodies that rushed forward, he also had some doubts about this kind of thing.
Li Luan waved his hand, and a skeletal arm quickly grew longer and larger. The skeletal palm became as if it could cover the sky with one hand, and it grabbed the fire elemental bodies on his side.
The huge golden bone claws suddenly grabbed down, as if catching a swarm of bugs with their hands, and immediately covered a dozen fire elemental bodies under their claws. As the five fingers of the golden bone claws closed together, balls of fire burst out between the fingers, almost covering the huge bone claws.
"Interesting, this thing is not the essence of the Dao!" Li Luan retracted his arm, the huge golden bone claws and the arm returned to their original size, and he opened his palm to reveal a few red crystals.
You must know that since the essence of the Five Elements is condensed from the Five Elements Dao, there must be a trace of the essence of the Dao in it. This essence of the avenue is not very powerful, but it can help the ascetics understand the corresponding avenue. In addition, if it is a Tao realm formed by the five elements, the essence of the corresponding Tao realm can also be used as nourishment to improve and enhance the power of the Tao realm to a certain extent.
However, the few red crystals that Li Luan obtained after grabbing and killing several fire elemental bodies were not the essence of the Fire Path. Li Luan is also a powerful soul, and after just a little perception with his spiritual mind, he knows that these crystals are just the crystallization of the power of flames.
"Indeed, this thing is good for making fire, but it is impossible to comprehend the great road." On the other side, Zhenjun Wenhua and others also obtained several similar red crystals after killing the fire elemental body. . In addition, they also discovered that these red crystals were not the same, ranging in size from large to small, and from dark to light in color, which seemed to be related to the strength of the fire elemental bodies.
"Be careful, the big guy is coming!" Ye Zan suddenly reminded everyone.
Although the fire elemental bodies that surrounded them before seemed to be numerous in number, their strength was not that great, especially in front of these powerful souls. Li Luan was able to catch more than a dozen fire elemental beings to death with just a scratch of his claws. The others also dealt with it quite easily, and wiped out most of the surrounding fire elemental beings in the blink of an eye.
And at this time, from behind the formation of those fire elemental bodies, a group of fire elemental bodies that were obviously larger in size and more concentrated in power appeared. Those tall fire elemental bodies, like giants following the dwarfs, rushed towards Ye Zan and others with long strides in the air.
If the strength of the previous fire elemental bodies can only be regarded as the golden elixir level, then the following group has already reached the Nascent Soul level. If they were Nascent Soul cultivators, even if their number were several times greater, they would not be able to pose a threat to Ye Zan and the others. However, these fire elemental bodies are only said to have reached the Yuanying level in strength, but their real combat power far exceeds that of Yuanying realm monks.
"Roar!" Several tall fire elemental bodies roared towards Ye Zan and others. As they roared, fireballs as big as wheels erupted from their mouths, hitting Ye Zan and others like meteors.
Why is it said that the power level of these fire elemental bodies only reaches the level of Yuanying, but their real combat power can far exceed that of Yuanying realm monks. One reason is the environment here. In this world of flames, these fire elemental bodies are like having their own Tao realm, able to turn one point of power into a lot of power. Another reason is that their use of power can reach their own limit every time. It can be said that every blow is a full blow.
It is impossible for a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage to use full strength in every attack, because the body has a self-protection measure.
It's like an ordinary person smashing a wall with his fist. If he hits it with all his strength, his own fist will probably be the first to suffer. Therefore, out of the instinct of self-protection, most people will instinctively control their strength. Even if they think that they are not afraid of fractures, they will actually hold back their strength.
The use of magic power by ascetics will put pressure on the meridians, so out of the instinct of self-protection, they rarely output magic power with all their strength regardless of everything. If the mana is outputted with all one's strength at all costs, it is very likely that the meridians will be injured, which is not worth the gain for the ascetic.
But these fire elemental bodies don't need to consider their own body's endurance. Anyway, there is no such thing as meridians. Naturally, every blow can be used with full force without any scruples. And the gap between a Nascent Soul level blow and a Nascent Soul level full blow is huge. If we had to quantify it, maybe a Nascent Soul-level all-out blow would be as powerful as a Yuanshen-level blow.
In other words, despite the fact that these fire elemental bodies are only at the Nascent Soul level, the power of each blow is enough to pose a threat to Ye Zan and others.
Seeing the fireball as big as a wheel coming from all directions like a meteor, Ye Zan and others felt the power of the fireball, and naturally they did not dare to neglect it. Immediately, flying swords, magic weapons, and various spells flew out from the hands of Ye Zan and others, and a tight defense was built around them to meet the countless fireballs.
"Don't use Dao realm." Ye Zan warned everyone.
In an instant, there was a roar, and the figures of Ye Zan and others were almost drowned by the fire.
But then, several flying swords sprang out from the fire and slashed at the tall fire elemental bodies. On the other side, a huge golden bone claw suddenly rushed out of the package of fire and grabbed the fire elemental body on the opposite side.
Although four of the people on Ye Zan's side were able to use the Dao realm, under Ye Zan's instructions, they all used the most common means. In fact, even without Ye Zan's reminder, they knew that in this environment, using Taoism was not the best choice.
This space is like a Tao realm with a fire-moving avenue, and the level of its avenue is much higher than that of everyone else. In such an environment, if you want to use the realm of other avenues, you need to consume more power than usual, and a large part of your strength must be used in the confrontation with the Fire Avenue.
Therefore, if placed in a normal environment, anyone on Ye Zan's side who can use the Tao Realm can directly obliterate all these fire elemental bodies. However, in the Tao realm space of the Fire Avenue, using the Tao realm will not be very efficient. It is better to kill those fire elemental bodies with ordinary means.
And, more importantly, no one knows how far we have to go and how many dangers and difficulties there are on the road. Although, as powerful souls, their power is boundless in the eyes of ordinary people, there are still a few after all. Any more wasted mana now may become the source of their death in some dangerous situation later.
What's more, Ye Zan and others now know that they are not the only ones coming here. Therefore, the threats they need to face may not only be arranged by mysterious forces, but also beware of cold arrows from those "comrades".
"Don't waste time with them here, follow me." Ye Zan greeted, resisting the attacks of the surrounding fire elemental bodies, and continued to move forward in the direction of this space.
It is simply impossible to eliminate those fire elemental bodies. Even if those fire elemental bodies seem to be vulnerable, this is their world. Therefore, Ye Zan did not want to waste time entangled with these fire elemental bodies. The most important thing was to break through the gate and leave here.
Of course, everyone else understood what Ye Zan meant, so they immediately followed Ye Zan. Fortunately, no matter whether those fire elemental bodies are at the Golden Core level or Nascent Soul level, and no matter how strong their offensive is, they are not enough to affect the actions of Ye Zan and others.
In this way, relying on the context seen with the Eye of True Knowledge, Ye Zan led everyone to move forward, constantly changing the direction of progress. After walking for about two or three hours and covering hundreds of thousands of miles, I finally saw a space slightly different from the surroundings in the light of fire.
However, around that space, there were dozens of giant-like fire elemental bodies at this time, and their power levels had already reached the soul level. It can be said that in such a world of fire, coupled with some peculiarities of the fire elemental body itself, the strength of these dozens of soul-level fire elemental bodies is probably no less than that of Peng Gong after his transformation.
"If my calculation is correct, that space that looks a little indented should be one of the gates of the positive and negative five elements array." Ye Zan stopped far away, pointed to the special space in front of him, and looked at the people beside him. Everyone explained.
"Those fire spirits seem to be many times stronger than before, and they have completely blocked the place." Zhenjun Wenhua said timidly. He could already feel the powerful and terrifying power fluctuations emanating from the dozens of fire elemental bodies. If it weren't for the fact that the True Spirit Seed was in Ye Zan's hands, he would never want to face those monsters.
"We don't need to get too entangled with them. We just need to break through their blockade with all our strength and break into the formation gate." Ye Zan heard the timidity of Zhenjun Wenhua. In fact, if it was possible, he himself would I don’t want to face those fire elemental bodies.
"No need to say more, let's go!" Li Luan said, staring ahead, while a half-length golden skeleton appeared on his body, shrouding everyone under the golden skeleton.
