Chapter 492 118. Fentian Khan
In the inner city of Hanging Fire City, even the spiritual energy that was inhaled was scorching, so hot that it could almost burn through a person's throat.
The people in the city felt the shaking of the earth, and then there was a burst of fire that reached the sky. The fire gathered into a rainbow, directly connecting from the city gate to the lava pillar leaning on the back of Hanging Fire City.
"Some big shot is coming." Someone in the city raised his head and looked at the sky.
There was a figure passing by in the rainbow, but from below it was impossible to see clearly what was on the rainbow bridge.
"Look, what's on the Hong Bridge is not our main hall, but the Pillar of Heavenly Fire!" A giant beast stood up, so it could see more clearly than the creatures that maintained human form.
The end of the Hongqiao is not the Hanging Fire Hall in the past, but leads to the Pillar of Heavenly Fire, which is said to support the sky in the south. There are a total of 720 Heavenly Fire Pillars, scattered randomly in this southern region. They are the fiefdoms of the Southern Ancestral Gods Xi and Chen Yu. The creatures living on this land are proud to be the tribal people of the Southern Ancestral God.
Each of these seven hundred and twenty pillars of heavenly fire has a huge city built opposite it, and there are countless other cities scattered around it.
The name of Hanging Fire City comes from the pillar of sky fire at the end of the city, Hanging Fire.
A long time ago, there was no Pillar of Heavenly Fire on this land. The legendary Pillar of Heavenly Fire was built for the Burning Khan to lead to the world. This legend actually has references and records in some ancient books, but Some of the most experienced barbarian gods in the city knew that the 720 Heavenly Fire Pillars were smelted by Nanzu God and then driven into the depths of the earth. As long as the Heavenly Fire Pillars stood, it was his fiefdom.
As for the material used to smelt the Heavenly Fire Pillar, there are different opinions.
A more accurate statement recorded in ancient books is that the Pillar of Heavenly Fire is an ancient star that was extinguished in the universe by the Southern Ancestors Shen Xi and Chen Yu.
Many stars that were extinguished in this way were brought back by Nanzu God and formed into pillars of fire reaching the sky. No creature living in the Southern Territory of Fire can live longer than the existence of the Southern Ancestor God. This means that all creatures in the Southern Territory have witnessed these sky-reaching fire pillars standing on the earth since they were born. The fame of the Southern Ancestor God Xi and Chen Yu spread throughout the world.
"I am very curious about some ancient books. Some of them explain the birth of the Heavenly Fire Pillar in the Southern Territory, and some explain the purpose of the Southern Ancestor God to build the Heavenly Fire Pillar." On the Hongqiao, Li Xi'an looked at the hanging man next to him who was guiding him. The Lord of Fire City calmly recounted the ancient books he had read when he arrived in the Southern Territory.
This was a man as tall as an iron tower, and even the city lord's robe could not hide the huge muscles that swelled with his movements.
When he appeared in front of Li Xi'an, he was even in the most primitive and huge animal form. Just out of respect for him, the Lord of Xuanhuo City could not let the distinguished guest holding the true name weapon of Xizu God in his hand look up at him, and then he turned into what he is now. The tower-like man in front of him.
"What do you want to know? This is not an unspeakable secret for us." The city lord replied, happy to answer Li Xi'an's doubts.
"About the Pillar of Heavenly Fire." Li Xi'an said.
He can use the law of the universe to identify the authenticity of the contents of ancient books. The birth and purpose of the Heavenly Fire Pillar are generally the same as those known by some barbarian gods.
The extinguished stars were nailed into the earth by Xi and Chen Yu as the steps for Burning Sky Khan to enter the world.
So that's not what he wanted to know.
"Why did Nanzu God extinguish so many stars in the universe?" Li Xi'an said, "I feel that he is looking for something among those ancient and bright stars."
The city lord was stunned for a moment. Judging from his expression, he probably didn't expect that an outsider from the Western Region could ask many questions that even the Barbarian Gods of the Southern Region didn't understand.
"This..." The city lord looked embarrassed.
"Although I promise you that I will answer your questions about the Southern Territory, I really don't know about this issue. Lord Nan Ancestral God has never mentioned it."
"No problem, just a casual question." Li Xi'an waved his hand to indicate that this was not an important matter.
Seeing that Li Xi'an didn't take it to heart, the city lord breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he was a mysterious figure holding the Wood King's weapon. He couldn't imagine what kind of relationship would allow the Wood King to hand over his natal weapon to others with confidence. The city lord quietly glanced at the emerald-colored pagoda in Li Xi'an's hand, and swallowed a gulp of saliva. This was the Queling Pagoda, containing a treasure of primitive wood. The man in front of him was shrouded in a veil of stars. He couldn't see his true appearance at all. Maybe it was King Mu himself who came to visit incognito.
Thinking of this terrible possibility, the city lord quickly lowered his head and looked away. He looked in front of the Hongqiao. The fire had stopped burning not far away.
It has reached the surface of the Heavenly Fire Pillar.
The Sky Fire Pillar is indeed huge, just like huge stars being smelted together and piled up, and something of this size is actually like a fine nail nailed into the Southern Territory, more than 700 of them, the vast Southern Territory, even just the wilderness. A corner of abundance.
Li Xi'an stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched the lava stone wall of the Sky Fire Pillar.
In front of him was like a huge wall that blocked the sky and the earth. Under the size of the star, the curvature of the pillar was almost impossible to observe with the naked eye. Li Xi'an saw the ferocious beast face on the surface of the Sky Fire Pillar, roaring, as if it was forcibly poured into the inside of the pillar, becoming a part of the Sky Fire Pillar forever.
I have to mention a habit of Xi and Chen Yu.
He is known as the hunter of the universe. He will kill the prey he likes and seal it in the Pillar of Heavenly Fire. If there is a prey that is particularly in line with his wishes, he will build a new pillar of heavenly fire, seal his particularly favorite prey at the bottom of the pillar, and bury it into an abyss full of lava and death with his power of nailing through the earth.
Li Xi'an touched the roaring beast's face and gently brushed away the ash accumulated on the beast's face with his hand, revealing part of the green color.
"Is this the product of the latest hunt by the Southern Ancestor God?"
"Yes." The city lord replied, "A king-blood glutton is hidden in a small planet in the depths of the universe. I heard that many barbarian gods lost their lives hunting him. He is an enemy worthy of being melted into the Pillar of Heavenly Fire by the Southern Ancestor God. .”
"Why do you want to surround and kill him?"
"Just because he is a remnant of Jiuzhou..." The city lord shook his head.
"The people of the Great Wilderness love this kind of powerful giant beast. Even though he is a remnant of the Nine Provinces, the Southern God did not harm his life. Instead, he brought him back and wanted to transform him into our people of the Great Wilderness. Among them, the Taotie clan pays special attention to it. , and even sent envoys. They verified the glutton’s royal blood legitimacy and said with great joy that he was a genuine king.”
"The largest group of gluttons in the universe today wanted to accept him, but he refused."
"Then what?" Li Xi'an said.
"He later used the Taotie clan's devouring method to eat himself clean, and even his soul was broken into countless pieces and disappeared in his devouring method."
The city lord sighed, "Respectable enemy."
"Excuse me, please ask these..."
"About this Taotie, King Mu has the ability to restore part of it, so he asked me to use the Que Ling Tower to seal his last fragments and bring him back to the Wood King's Palace in the Western Regions."
"But this is Nanzu God's prey..."
"Nanzu God is now with King Mu. This is Nanzu God's token." Li Xi'an turned over his hand and took out a ray of sun fire.
The city lord took a closer look and was immediately in awe, wondering what the origin of this messenger was.
The city lord nodded and said: "In this case, I will immediately help you extract the Taotie fragments."
Li Xi'an turned the wooden carriage, and the bird feather tower was suspended in front of the huge beast.
The pagoda hummed, and the huge beast's face began to slowly detach from the pillar of sky fire.
The sky fire pillar roared, being pulled by the runes triggered by the Hanging Fire City.
But at the moment when the Taotie fragments were about to completely break away from the Heavenly Fire Pillar, the sky was shrouded in glow, and a strange ripple spread. Seven hundred and twenty Heavenly Fire Pillars resonated with it. The extraction of the fragments was interrupted, and golden runes lit up on the surface of the Heavenly Fire Pillar. , flowing towards the sky.
"That's..." Under the star veil, Li Xi'an's pupils condensed into lines.
The city lord on the side fell to his knees when he saw this scene.
Prostrate on the ground.
"Welcome to Khan Fentian!" he shouted.
Yesterday, I couldn’t update a younger brother’s college entrance banquet, and I feel deeply ashamed.
So I’ll make up for it the day after tomorrow. I’ll celebrate the Chinese Valentine’s Day tomorrow, and there will be updates on Chinese Valentine’s Day.
Retreat from the court.
