Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 76 Taking Chestnuts from the Fire

Perseus had no time to dodge and was hit head-on by the pillar of fire. The pillar of fire even curved, and the swirling flames quickly contracted inward, trembled several times, and then exploded to reveal a huge hole.

The chaotic spatial storm scattered in all directions, and Perseus was also thrown away by the impact.

He forced his eyes open amidst the flames and looked at the enormous creature not far away.

so big!

It's really huge—the ancestor of the Candlelight Serpent, with a human face and a snake's body, but with an extra pair of dragon horns.

This thing's waist circumference alone exceeds tens of thousands of kilometers, and its overall length would make most of the immortal demon races feel ashamed.

The Starry Sky Beast is just a small fry.

Even with his full power unleashed, the Heaven and Earth Manifestation technique, Perseus, facing this colossal beast that stretched over a million kilometers in length, dared not say he could outlast it.

But this is not immortality!

Perseus could clearly sense the world power emanating from the other party; compared to the other Candlefire Serpents, this might be the true source of the Flowing Fire Pool.

"I want it so badly..."

Having been hit hard and not reacting in time, Perseus realized that this special life form had not yet broken through to immortality, and immediately had a plan.

Isn't this a golden opportunity?

As long as I can obtain the genetic material of this Candlefire Serpent... no, it's the Candle Dragon, I will definitely be able to obtain a powerful bloodline of level 10+ with three stars.

As for the risks involved...

"Never mind, I'll just do it!"

Perseus took the initiative, his Flame-Slaying Spear striking rapidly, leaving afterimages before returning to its original form. The extremely condensed Chaotic Flame left black streaks in the starry sky.

The Candle Dragon simply darted around, easily making a slight half-circle turn.

"Bang!!!"

The Flame Spear shattered in the flames, but was gathered back together by several arms and instantly pieced back together.

Realizing his weapon was useless, Perseus could only grip the magic ribbon tightly in his hand.

This is the only three-star level 10+ treasure he currently possesses.

Although a Samsung level 10+ weapon doesn't represent a true immortal weapon, in terms of strength alone, it's actually quite similar to an immortal weapon.

At present, Perseus can only hope to use the Hun Tian Ling to find an opportunity to obtain the opponent's flesh and blood, and transform it into puzzle pieces to transmit to the Wan Du clone.

"We need to create opportunities!"

Swah——

Recalling the secret flying technique from the Fire Dance Whirlwind, and combining it with his newly comprehended understanding of the essence of the fire law, Perseus's speed increased once again.

As he charged forward, he swung out the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) in his hand, trying several times in a row. Finally, he managed to take an attack and tie the Hun Tian Ling to the neck of the Zhulong (a mythical dragon).

What followed was a thrilling high-speed chase through the starry sky.

Driven by the Candle Dragon, Perseus was pulled into the magma and then plunged into the mountain wall. The rolling lava, mixed with temperatures high enough to burn an ordinary world lord, kept scouring within a certain range. Anyone else would probably have been completely burned into nothingness long ago.

Perseus, however, held on with all his might.

He formed his five fingers into claws, slowly tightened them, and climbed upwards along the Hun Tian Ling, one stroke at a time.

The moment the scales of the Candle Dragon were actually touched, the enormous creature stiffened involuntarily due to the sensation from its neck.

What followed was an even more terrifying eruption.

"boom--"

The terrifying world projection presented a scene of a "lava apocalypse".

Countless fragments of stone flew everywhere. Along the way, the flickering flames were shattered by the aftershocks of the Candle Dragon's impact on the rock wall. Golden patterns also spread across the red vertical pupil on the Candle Dragon's face.

The gold patterns silently turned black.

The moment the transformation was completed, an extremely strong spiritual shock came from the depths of his soul. The sun and moon turned, day and night switched, and Perseus seemed to fall from the top of the world into the abyss, and then be suddenly thrown up to the heavens.

It's a soul attack at the immortal level... and... this is murderous intent...

He forced his eyes open and, sure enough, found wisps of black energy emanating from the head of the Candle Dragon. This malevolent energy was especially beneficial to him at that moment.

The cooldown of the "Heaven and Earth in Harmony" skill has been extended.

"Then there's still a chance to fight!"

The energy that had slightly dissipated solidified once more, but it was tightly confined to a certain area, trying its best to hide in the depressions of its head and neck. Because the target was too small, Zhulong failed to shake off the troublesome Perseus after several attempts.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, the Poisonous Clone on one side abandoned its attempt to comprehend the laws and instead began creating 'bombs'.

This is a task that requires every second to complete.

Within a limited time, he needed to dissolve the spiritual energy crystal cores previously refined from hexagonal copper sheets, turning them into puzzle pieces, and then reassemble them to form the last few semi-finished pieces to be fused together.

Once these fragments are transferred back to Perseus, he can immediately piece them together and condense the corresponding three-star card.

[Samsung Burst Energy Card - Meteorite lv10+]

[Description: A one-time use treasure refined from special star crystals. It detonates instantly and can unleash an attack comparable to a peak-level military lord.]

The card transformed into a fireball, which Perseus held firmly in his palm; all that remained was to wait for the right moment to detonate it.

at last.

He found an opportunity when he descended underground for the second time and passed through a relatively narrow area.

"Now!"

The terrifying sphere, propelled by Perseus's powerful hurdle, accelerated and landed in front of the Candle Dragon.

Then, a moment later, a deafening explosion occurred.

The endless light and heat instantly melted the space in front of them, continuously outputting energy and turning tens of thousands of kilometers around into a terrible inferno.

Perseus was not at the epicenter of the explosion.

Even though he deviated slightly, the terrifying fluctuations still melted the upper half of the 'Dharma Form,' along with half of the trembling dragon head, which quietly hovered in this red world.

"We have to be quick!!!"

As the tattered dragon body began to tremble, and fleshy buds grew on half of the dragon's head, as if it would recover at any moment, Perseus deactivated his talent and then activated it again, rushing towards the dragon's head in one stride.

In the first second, he snatched the one-eyed man away.

The second second is the frontal lobe.

Flesh and blood are growing, Perseus is dismantling.

The bloody scene, accompanied by pieces of the puzzle being brought into the tent, made him smile involuntarily.

However, as the power of the world erupted, the speed at which the wounds healed exceeded the speed at which it caused destruction. The previously 'dead' Zhulong trembled slightly and crashed violently into the rock layer in front of it.

Perseus and the Hun Tian Ling were both thrown off.

Because there wasn't enough space, Zhulong could only keep moving forward, waiting for the next nearest opening so he could turn back and deal with Perseus.

But having already obtained the item, the latter had no desire to continue entangled with it.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Perseus disassembled the magic ribbon in his hand.

Next came the Flame Spear, the Blazing Armor, the Ring of Life... one by one, these treasures transformed into puzzle pieces and were quickly teleported away.

Finally, when Perseus's energy was almost completely depleted.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he watched a certain Candle Dragon, which had been busy for quite some time, finally return. With a single step, his body rapidly expanded, exploding like fireworks in an instant.

"Boom!!!!"
