Chapter 638 - 637: How Can the Glow of a Firefly Compete with the Sun and Moon?

Chapter 638: Chapter 637: How Can the Glow of a Firefly Compete with the Sun and Moon?

After trouncing the Wind Elements, Jiang Zuo’s elemental faction gained quite a few new Wind Elements, even more than the Thunder Elements he had.

This was mainly because the enemy had sent a large number of troops. With a larger base number, the amount of Elemental Minions he gained also increased.

Of course, the Elemental Army was still much larger.

Jiang Zuo had no idea what he would do if these battles kept escalating.

Advancing a minor realm was causing a bigger commotion than Crossing the Tribulation.

And Jiang Zuo was also quite curious what other tricks the Fire Elemental Leader would have up its sleeve when he reached Tier Seven.

In any case, Jiang Zuo felt he had gained a lot this time. With the Wind Elemental Sister, he could fly with Su Qi.

Although he didn’t have much of it.

Just then, Jiang Zuo retracted his Flying Sword and landed steadily on the ground.

Now, he could be considered capable of Stepping on Air.

However, just as he landed, he felt a massive fluctuation.

It was coming from the direction of the mountain.

’Has the fighting gotten that intense?’ Jiang Zuo muttered to himself.

Such powerful energy could easily destroy the cave residence.

But Jiang Zuo didn’t care. It wasn’t his place, anyway.

After reaching the ground, Jiang Zuo ignored everything else and walked directly over to the Jinling Loach.

This gave the Jinling Loach a huge fright.

Although the current Jiang Zuo didn’t exude that same aura, the Jinling Loach, whose worldview had just been shattered by the Celestial Punishment, felt that Jiang Zuo was even more terrifying than before.

’This is no man.’ ℯ

Jiang Zuo spoke directly, "I need to borrow something from you."

The Jinling Loach shivered and hid behind Ximen Chuihuo, immediately saying, "I’m still young! I haven’t evolved yet! I don’t have a Dragon Horn, Dragon Scales, or a Dragon Bead! I have nothing to lend you!"

Jiang Zuo’s face darkened. He didn’t even want any of that stuff.

Then Jiang Zuo said, "I want the power you have stored."

Alright, the Jinling Loach breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "It’s not that I don’t want to lend it to you. It’s our unique Talent. Other people can’t use it."

As it said this, the Jinling Loach glanced smugly at Duan Qiao. That’s right, it could beat this little girl with one hand tied behind its back.

This little girl could only teleport around. When it came to actual fighting, its power-related Talent was far superior.

Duan Qiao was contemptuous. ’This stupid ancient Loach. It has no idea that since the Great Demon asked, he obviously already knows something.’

Sure enough, Jiang Zuo simply said, "I just need your consent."

The Jinling Loach didn’t believe him. ’This person is fierce, and the things he does are fierce, but a difference in Talent is a difference in Talent. It’s the unique Talent of the Jinling Loach clan. If others could use it just by wishing for it, our clan would have been famous long ago.’

So, it agreed without hesitation. It would be a joyous occasion to see this person fail.

Since the Jinling Loach had agreed, Jiang Zuo didn’t hold back.

He walked up to the Jinling Loach and tapped a finger between its eyes.

But with just that light tap, the Jinling Loach was completely stunned.

It felt the gate to its Talent being forced open, and its power began to surge out frantically.

The Jinling Loach’s eyes went wide as it stared intently at Jiang Zuo. It even started to wonder, ’Could this person be a Jinling Loach that has undergone Transformation?’

’How else would this be possible?’

At that moment, endless power surged into Jiang Zuo, a portion of which filled every corner of his body.

When his body was filled with power, the excess began to spread across his skin.

The Innate Three Qi frantically worked to maintain the balance of power.

Jiang Zuo’s body could only withstand a small portion of this power, but his control was unparalleled, especially after reaching Tier Three.

He distributed the power outside his body, making it a part of his fundamental strength, supported by his Innate Three Qi and his own abilities.

He could control and accept the power with near-perfection.

Although the control wasn’t absolutely perfect, that was only by Jiang Zuo’s standards.

To anyone else, his "imperfect" was true perfection.

Without the Innate Three Qi, his body would have been overloaded trying to bear the power, and it would have been far from this effortless.

After a short while, Jiang Zuo finished absorbing all the power.

This was the first time he had felt his body brimming with power since his return.

"Tier Seven. This should be about the limit. Any more and I’ll lose control," Jiang Zuo said involuntarily as he looked at the power in his hands.

The Jinling Loach, however, was a bit dumbfounded. ’I remember it being Tier Eight, so why is he only showing Tier Seven?’

’What’s even more terrifying is, why does he seem more dreadful at Tier Seven than I was at Tier Eight?’

Ximen Chuihuo also stared blankly at Po Xiao.

Tier Seven. His father was also Tier Seven, and he had seen his father’s explosive fury before. That terrifying aura had left him breathless.

But seeing Po Xiao at Tier Seven, he felt the two were on completely different levels.

Even with Po Xiao just standing there calmly, he gave off a sense of boundless immensity.

If he were to compare the two, only one phrase came to Ximen Chuihuo’s mind.

How can the glow of a firefly compare to the radiance of the sun and moon?

Though both were Tier Seven, Po Xiao gave off a feeling of depth.

Yes, like the difference between a basin of water and a well—immeasurably deep.

Jiang Zuo got a feel for it and said, "It handles well enough. Well then, let’s go take a look."

As he spoke, Jiang Zuo took a single step forward with the others. With just that one step, he and his group appeared on the mountaintop.

Effortlessly, they had arrived on the great mountain, looking down upon most of the cave residence.

The moment Jiang Zuo appeared on the summit, it was destined to be an extraordinary event.

————

Meanwhile, back in the forest, the four combatants had all sensed each other’s extraordinary abilities the moment they clashed.

No single person could suppress all the others at once.

The four of them separated, but their powers continued to collide, striking out in all directions.

The entire forest had long since been rendered unrecognizable, and the surrounding areas had also been heavily affected.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan frowned. Her power was only temporarily restored, so she didn’t have time to be tied down by these people. Moreover, none of them were simple; each one had a much stronger foundation than her.

She couldn’t afford a battle of attrition.

But if she made a sudden move now, she would easily be ganged up on by the other three, which was just asking for death.

’So, I was too impulsive earlier,’ she thought. ’I should have just watched the tigers fight from the mountain and waited for a chance to snatch the Celestial God Flower.’

But now, she had no choice but to remain locked in this stalemate.

Hei Ye also frowned. He was the strongest one here, but in this balanced standoff, it was impossible to defeat everyone, which left him frustrated.

’So, should I just break the Seal?’

’The Holy Land probably won’t notice, right?’

Gui Jianchou watched coldly from the side. ’If this is all these people are capable of, then I’ll just need my true self to use the power of a single finger.’

’The Celestial God Flower will be mine and no one else’s.’

Mo Mingbei gritted his teeth. ’If I can’t have it, no one can. If these people won’t yield, I’ll detonate the Mecha and make the Celestial God Flower and all of them disappear.’

And just as they were all steeling their resolve...

They felt something shining down on them, as if it were a beam of light.

But they all knew it wasn’t light.

It was a ripple of power.

And the epicenter of this ripple was right on the mountaintop.

The appearance of that power was like the light of the sun and moon, shining down and gently brushing past everyone.
