Chapter 3011: Dilapidated Ancient s.h.i.+p
Translator: Legge *
Even the Martial Dao Prime Body was not sure if it was a flame.
That was because as he ventured deeper and further into the Nether River, the six flames in the Martial Dao Domain were clearly suppressed and the flames decreased.
However, there was actually such a powerful flame on the river at the end of the horizon ahead. It was not suppressed and even illuminated the surrounding river red!
Two purple flames rose in the eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body as he glared fixedly at the ball of flame, wanting to see it clearly.
There seemed to be something in the center of the ball of flame. However, it was too far away and coupled with the fact that the ball of flame was too blinding, he could not see it clearly.
Eh?
Just as the Martial Dao Prime Body was about to give up, he swept his gaze from the corner of his eye and saw a dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p beside the raging flame! 6
The ancient s.h.i.+p looked extremely simple and was pitch-black with no windows or sails. Two pitch-black oars hung on both sides and floated on the river at the end of the horizon.
It was naturally not strange for an ancient s.h.i.+p to appear on a river.
However, this was the Nether River that was beneath the feet of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
The appearance of this dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p was a little strange. Furthermore, although the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p was extremely close to the flame, there were no signs of it burning. Like a ghost, it floated on the river motionlessly!
Thats not right!
Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body frowned.
If the ball of flame and the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p were above the Nether River, why did they float there the entire time instead of flowing down with the current?
Suddenly!
A sinister wind blew slowly from the depths of the Nether River and the surface of the river shone.
The six flames in the Martial Dao Domain were extinguished instantly!
The purple flames in the eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body were extinguished at the same time. A sharp pain came from his eyes and he closed his eyes instinctively.
At the same time, an unprecedented fear rose in his heart, causing his heart to skip a beat and his scalp to tingle!
That fear almost made him flee!
That was not all.
The purple flames that had been burning in the consciousness of the Martial
Dao Prime Body swayed from the sinister wind, flickering as though they could be extinguished at any moment!
Those purple flames were his Martial Spirit.
Once the Martial Spirit Fire was extinguished, it would mean that his Essence Spirit would be destroyed and he would die.
No matter how strong his combat strength was or how powerful the Dharmic Dao he created was, they would vanish into thin air!
The h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod trembled continuously and let out a faint and deep cry of sorrow, conveying an emotion of fear to the Martial Dao Prime Body!
Even the tragic cry of the h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod was suppressed and it did not dare to raise its voice!
The Sanskrit in the tripod had already been interrupted.
The spreading golden light of the Soul Lantern had long been disrupted.
The Martial Dao Prime Body closed his eyes and s.h.i.+elded the Netherworld Treasure Mirror and Soul Lantern in front of him, retreating rapidly!
He ran for a long way and only stopped when the fear gradually subsided and the Martial Spirit Fire returned to normal in his consciousness.
The Martial Dao Prime Body took off his Mara Mask, revealing a pale face covered in sweat. He panted heavily and opened his eyes slowly.
Although he was already out of danger, he still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene earlier on.
What was with that sinister wind?
Where did it come from?
The Martial Dao Prime Body recalled the situation back then.
The sinister wind was not strong and came like a breeze.
However, immediately after, a series of terrifying changes appeared on his body!
The Martial Dao Prime Body lowered his head and took a look.
Although he used the Soul Lantern to s.h.i.+eld him earlier on, the golden flames in the Soul Lantern had long been extinguished.
The flames of the Soul Lantern would have been extinguished by the time the sinister wind blew over.
Gradually, the Martial Dao Prime Body composed himself and temporarily gave up on the thought of continuing to investigate the Nether River.
The danger of the Great Wilderness had yet to be resolved. If anything happened to him here and Die Yue did not have any help, she would probably not be able to defend against Emperor Azure Flames next attack.
The Martial Dao Prime Body put away the h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod Netherworld Treasure Mirror and Soul Lantern. Just as he was about to wear the Mara Mask, his heart skipped a beat.
Initially, the Mara Mask was an Emperor Weapon. However, the Martial Dao Prime Body released the Weapon Spirit within, Heavenly Wolf, and bestowed the latter with a rebirth. As a result, the might of the Emperor Weapon was greatly reduced.
Given his current combat strength, the Mara Mask was already useless and dispensable to him.
Most of the time, he merely used it to conceal his appearance.
If the Martial Dao Prime Body had any weaknesses, the Essence Spirit in his consciousness-the Martial Spirit of the purple flames-was indeed relatively weak.
The reason why it was relatively weaker was because the comparison was based on different cultivation realms.
For example, if he met someone far beyond his cultivation realm, such as a peak Emperor, the latter might be able to cause some damage to his Martial Spirit.
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and was prepared to reforge the Mara Mask.
Phew!
The Martial Dao Prime Body released six flames and threw the Mara Mask over to burn.
A few days later, although the Mara Mask was burned red and almost transparent, there were no signs of it melting.
The Mara Mask was indeed extraordinary.
Back then, Emperor Bo Xun had collected countless natural treasures, rare ores and synthesized the flesh of the clones of his Seven Emotions to refine such a mask.
Given the current combat strength of the Martial Dao Prime Body, even a supreme Emperor Weapon could not withstand his six flames!
Despite the fact that the Mara Mask had lost its Weapon Spirit, it had yet to melt!
If this continued, there would probably be no progress. Instead, it would affect his cultivation.
Just as the Martial Dao Prime Body was about to give up, a thought flashed through his mind.
He summoned the Soul Lantern and ignited it.
With that, another golden flame appeared beneath the Mara Mask!
Before long, the Mara Mask began to melt.
The Martial Dao Prime Body revealed a delighted expression and began to forge the mask.
He did not intend to change much about the Dharmic Dao contained in the mask. He merely wanted to fuse a wisp of his spirit consciousness into it so that it could transform into a Weapon Spirit in the future.
To him, the most critical step of reconstructing the Mara Mask was not the process of melting and forging, but the final quenching formation!
49 days later, the forging of the Mara Mask was completed and he was prepared to quench it.
Ordinary quenching required a divine weapon to be placed in the spring water and cooled rapidly to take shape.
The higher the grade of the spring water, the greater the improvement to the divine weapon.
Up till this point of his cultivation, the strongest and most mysterious water source the Martial Dao Prime Body had seen was the Nether River beneath his feet!
The Martial Dao Prime Body soaked the burning Mara Mask into the Nether River.
s.h.i.+ng!
Bubbles appeared on the surface of the water and green smoke appeared. Peace returned to the river rapidly.
The Martial Dao Prime Body brought the remodeled Mara Mask over and examined it.
The appearance of the Mara Mask did not change much. However, with a thought from the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Mara Mask suddenly turned into a dark and deep river surface with ripples!
The Mara Mask transformed into an Emperor Weapon once more. As for the mysterious power synthesized with the Nether River, it was even stronger than the original Mara Mask!
The Martial Dao Prime Body wore the Mara Mask once more.
With this mask, the weakness of the Martial Spirit would no longer exist!
The Martial Dao Prime Body took a deep breath of air and retracted his Soul Lantern, prepared to continue his seclusion.
However, before long, he took out the Soul Lantern again and looked at the golden flames burning on it, his eyes s.h.i.+ning!
Perhaps he could fuse the golden flames into his body!
That way, he would be able to master a seventh flame and his Martial Dao Purgatory and the Heaven and Earth Furnace would undergo another transformation, allowing his cultivation speed to increase greatly.
In fact, there was a chance for him to break through and advance to the Emperor realm!
