26: Chapter 26 The Birth of the God of Fire, Divine Revelation: Is the World About to Be Destroyed?!

Boom!

Flames soared into the sky!

Crimson flames surged from the ancient sword, converging into a ferocious, ghostly dragon form that exhaled breath right in front of it.

With just a single charge, it turned the Falling Thunder Goblin into ashes.

Its entire body vaporized and vanished directly, leaving not even a trace of charcoal behind.

The exaggerated effect left everyone speechless.

The monster that countless people feared like a tiger was, at this moment, like a bubble that burst at the slightest poke.

The intense contrast left people speechless.

Moreover, what was even more terrifying was—

The ghostly dragon form condensed from flames actually targeted only the Falling Thunder Goblin for its attack. The rest of the area was not affected in the slightest, not to mention the martial arts masters lying nearby who suffered no collateral damage.

Even the display stand where the Falling Thunder Goblin had been standing didn't have a single trace of scorch marks.

The control over the flames had reached an outrageous degree that made one's hair stand on end.

" Th-This, what is going on? "

The scene of the blazing dragon roaring and burning everything to ashes left the onlookers unable to react in time.

Just a moment ago, weren't they having a hard time passing on the fire and sacrificing themselves?

How did it suddenly turn into a desperate counterkill?

And win with such absolute, overwhelming power?

" I—I don't have to die? "

" I won't be eaten? That's great, wuu wuu wuu... "

" ... "

The good news came too fast, leaving people unable to process it.

There was a sense of unreality, as if falling into a dream.

Until the truth was revealed.

——

" An eligible candidate! I know what's going on! No strong light erupted from this guy's body, which means he is an eligible candidate for the ancient sword! The blazing dragon from just now is the true power of the ancient sword! "

" Judging from the flame color reaction, the outer part of the blazing dragon should be around a thousand degrees, and the core is close to pure white, exceeding six thousand degrees of high temperature—comparable to the sun's surface. No wonder it could vaporize this monster! "

" ... "

A large string of bullet comments streaked past like meteors.

The well-reasoned content made the Netizens in the live broadcast room nod in agreement.

Unlike the onlookers inside the venue.

The live stream focused on the entire scene.

Possessing half a god's-eye view, they could be certain that when Li Li held the ancient sword, no strong light was emitted from his body at all.

He was different from everyone else!

According to the information from Gear Science.

Anyone who is not recognized, upon touching the entity, will burst forth with strong light and high temperature.

But after Li Li contacted the ancient sword, no strong light erupted.

From his performance, it didn't look like he had been scorched by high temperatures either.

In other words.

He! Was he the eligible candidate for the ancient sword? Was this the true power of the ancient sword?

——

" Over a thousand degrees on the periphery, six thousand degrees at the core, comparable to the sun's surface? Is this the true value of the ancient sword? "

" So the martial arts masters were just using it as a fire poker all along? This is its real strength? "

" Holy crap! If that blazing dragon changed shape, wouldn't that be crafting a sun with one's bare hands? That's a bit exaggerated, iron bros. "

" No, it's more than that! "

" Don't forget the control! After the blazing dragon incinerated the monster, it didn't sweep outward; otherwise, it could have burned down half the venue in minutes. That means the ancient sword is not only terrifying in power, but its detail control is also quite absurd. "

" ... "

Bullet comment after bullet comment rolled across the live broadcast room, flooding the screen at an extremely fast speed.

With everyone chipping in and relying on their half god's-eye view, they had almost dug up all the changes on Li Li's body.

It has to be said that the Netizens in the live broadcast room are all talents.

Without their exquisite insight and talking up the details, the impact caused by the ancient sword wouldn't have been this huge.

After all, winking is wasted on a blind person.

But after these experts unraveled the mystery, things were different.

High temperature!

Control!

Comparable to the sun!

...

One mighty power after another surfaced.

Coupled with the record of the ancient sword erupting and instantly killing the monster, it directly made the Netizens' eyes turn red with envy.

This was definitely a divine artifact!

Once recognized by the ancient sword spirit, one would transcend mortality and become a god in minutes.

Being able to freely control flames of several thousand degrees—wouldn't that be the birth of the Fire God in ancient times?

Even in modern times, it remains a force that cannot be ignored. With a high temperature that can melt gold and destroy jade at every turn, who could withstand it?

However, thinking of his deed of stepping forward at the risk of his life.

Some people felt that they weren't as jealous in their hearts anymore, and envy was all that remained.

Complex emotions intertwined in their hearts.

Spreading strong fluctuations that made someone holding high a sickle feel thrilled to the core of his heart.

[ Ding—— ]

[ 005 ancient sword covenant triggered massive emotional fluctuations, Emotional Points + 32791 ]

[ Emotional Points + 51418 ]

[ Emotional Points + 32812 ]

[ ... ]

Massive amounts of points exploded by the ears.

However, to everyone's surprise.

Su Xiu didn't pay too much attention to it this time.

His solemn gaze was fixed all along on the young man's figure in the live stream.

Or rather, locked onto the ancient Tang sword on his body.

This was nothing more than an appetizer!

The real crisis was only just beginning now.

Something that could make Su Xiu stand at full alert...

Was at least a world-annihilation-class crisis...

Mere goblins?

Even if they had evolved eighteen times, they wouldn't have such qualifications!

The ancient sword wasn't prepared for it at all.

At most, it was just a sacrifice to sharpen the ancient sword.

High temperature?

Precise control?

Su Xiu looked at the surging bullet comments in the live stream and shook his head secretly.

This sequence anomaly.

He had never shaped it as a weapon.

At least, the core design of the ancient sword was not an instrument of combat!

With his gaze slightly narrowed and exhaling in a deep voice, he...

Silently looked toward the live stream screen.

The real grand curtain was only just drawing open now.

——

" I—I am an eligible candidate? "

Li Li looked at the crimson ancient sword in his hand with a sense of unexpectedness.

He was only moved by the predecessor.

Unwilling to let martial arts fall just like that, he had simply stepped forward.

How did he suddenly become an eligible candidate?

The eighty-centimeter Tang sword felt heavy in his hand. It should be forged from some material close to steel. Having learned martial arts and practiced swordsmanship for more than ten years, he could tell how heavy a weapon was with just a heft, practically spot on.

An ancient jade was embedded at the hilt, and eighteen different-colored glazes were neatly embedded on the flame-surrounded sword body.

As an eligible candidate recognized by the ancient sword spirit.

He was someone who didn't need to worry about the high temperature backlash.

Although the ancient sword had passed through dozens of hands, he was the only one who could see these details clearly.

Holding the long sword, he had a feeling.

As if he could communicate with the sword weapon through his soul.

Just now, the power of the blazing dragon singing.

Was released through this method, which was why it could be so meticulous.

The monster was incinerated, and the fire dragon disappeared.

As the aftermath of the heat wave gradually receded, the military finally arrived tardily.

Flashing sirens, elite soldiers fully armed with loaded guns rushed out from armored vehicles one after another.

While maintaining order on one side.

They conducted emergency rescue for the wounded on the other.

Trying their best to keep the wounded maintaining their vital signs while waiting for subsequent medical support.

Just when everyone was busily working amid tight preparations.

A person who looked like the leader.

Stepped forward toward the display stand. First, he glanced at the place where the Falling Thunder Goblin had disappeared, and then towards Li Li beside him, his expression turning solemn and full of respect. While admiring the hero, he was also wary of the power of the ancient sword in Li Li's hand.

" So, "

" Has the danger been lifted? "

The Branch Captain wiped his sweat, just asking habitually.

However, Li Li's response.

Caused the Branch Captain's expression to change drastically.

" I think... "

" Matters are very likely not over yet! "

" Destruction might have just begun. "

Li Li pressed his lips together, amidst the frightened and uneasy gazes of others.

Silently spat out two sets of numbers.

" 108.95 "

" 34.22 "
