Chapter 1277: Early-Stage Exceptional State (4)
He then turned towards Gu Ruoyun as he continued to speak, "Of course, most people would be unable to consume the Nine Underworld Flames. Some would even end up losing their lives if they approached it. However, you are unlike them. You hold the Divine Weapon, the Nine Emperors. No flame would be able to burn you."
Gu Ruoyun walked towards the Nine Underworld Flames with slow and gradual steps, as if afraid that she would scare the black flames.
However, the black flames still managed to sense her presence and exploded immediately, eyeing covetously at the damned human.
"Nine Emperors!"
Gu Ruoyun summoned.
Bzzt!
As soon as she had spoken, the Nine Emperors, which had been lying still in her mind’s eye, let out a buzzing noise. A powerful energy exploded and the black flames, which had intended to approach Gu Ruoyun, seemed to have received a shock and retreated in unison.
At that moment, Gu Ruoyun could sense it shiver.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The black flames scattered as if they were extremely afraid of Gu Ruoyun’s approach. Unfortunately, as they tried to scatter all over the place, Gu Ruoyun would always be right in front of them.
The black flames were now enraged!
Even though you’ve received help from the Nine Emperors, we are the Nine Underworld Flames. We don’t want to hurt you anymore yet you intend to consume us! Since that’s the case, we will consume you first even if we have to risk being suffocated by the Nine Emperors!
Hence, the flames no longer tried to hide themselves. They gathered together before charging towards Gu Ruoyun, carrying an aura of destruction.
"My apologies but the Nine Emperors is not the only weapon I have. I also hold Zixie’s Flames of World Devastation. I really would like to compare whether the power of the Nine Underworld Flames is more powerful or if the Flames of World Devastation is on a higher level."
Boom!
Just as the black flames were about to reach Gu Ruoyun, her body was suddenly lit up by purple flames. Those flames released a scorching and demonic temperature which made the Nine Underworld Flames jump with fright.
"Are you trying to escape?"
Gu Ruoyun laughed when she noticed that the Nine Underworld Flames were retreating once again. She ran after them in one leap and caught the Nine Underworld Flames in the palm of her hand before swallowing them without another word.
Boom!
The Nine Underworld Flames began to crash all over inside her body in an attempt to smash their prison open and escape.
The powerful force caused Gu Ruoyun’s body to shake but the cold smile on her face only deepened, "You can stop your senseless resistance, I’ll never let you escape."
Whoosh!
Having said that, Gu Ruoyun began to channel the Flames of World Devastation and surrounded the black flames.
Under the pressure from the Nine Emperors and Flames of World Devastation, the Nine Underworld Flames finally stopped and slowly fused with Gu Ruoyun within the circle of purple flames...
Bang!
A powerful energy leaped from the top of her head, shooting up into the sky.
"A late-stage Martial Saint!"
Gu Ruoyun’s heart leaped as she basked in the power from the breakthrough. However, her breakthrough was not over yet.
Just as her spiritual energy burst through the late-stage Martial Saint rank, it rose rapidly once again, reaching the area of the bottleneck immediately.
Boom!
Boom, boom!
The spiritual energy did not seem to want to stop as it rammed forcefully into the bottleneck. That paper-thin bottleneck was shattered once again, pushing into a whole new rank.
"I’ve reached the early-stage exceptional state!"
Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath, she has finally reached the exceptional state. She was no longer at the lowest rank in the First City.
"Xiao Ye, it’s all thanks to you that I’ve been able to obtain such great power."
