411: Bifang's extraordinary characteristics

Chapter 411: Mythical Fire Bird's Heaven-Defying Trait

The peculiar flames, like maggots clinging to bones, deeply attached themselves to the monsters.

It even felt as if the flames were burning from the inside out of the monsters, as many of them were smoking and spewing fire from their seven orifices.

The Advanced Rank monsters fared a bit better, managing to hold on for a while longer.

But the lower Rank monsters were instantly reduced to stark white bones, and even the bones were charred and riddled with holes.

That's right, riddled with holes.

The flames unleashed by the mythical bird named Mythical Fire Bird did not seem to burn comprehensively, but rather selectively incinerated the enemy's insides and outsides, and the opponent couldn't block or stop this incineration at all.

"What… kind of ghostly flames are these?"

Ma Tengyun watched, dumbfounded. He then looked at the three Star Lords beside him; while they still smelled good, they weren't as appealing as before.

He definitely had to get a gold scroll Mythical Fire Bird to add to his collection later.

This was worth any amount of money!

It wasn't just him; Xue Lingling and Tang Beng were also stunned by Mythical Fire Bird's terrifying power at this moment.

"Those flames… something's not right!" Tang Beng frowned, "They don't seem like normal burning flames."

Xue Lingling investigated closely and vaguely discovered something. "It seems to be the incineration of some spiritual substances and spiritual structures within the monsters."

"What?" Tang Beng gasped.

Directly igniting the spiritual substances and spiritual structures within the body?

How… how could this be possible?

Wu Xian quietly watched Mythical Fire Bird spread the flames of calamity among the beast horde, his heart equally shocked.

He had expected Mythical Fire Bird to be powerful, but not this powerful.

Especially the innate trait of "Wood Essence into Fire," which was incredibly outlandish.

That's right, the effect of Wood Essence into Fire was to ignite all wood-attribute-related spiritual substances, fundamentally disintegrating the enemy.

In any substance, as long as there were wood-attribute-related spiritual substances, they would be directly incinerated and disintegrated by Mythical Fire Bird.

And "Wood Spiritual Substance," as the most basic spiritual element, was also the "molecule" that formed and constituted many complex spiritual substances, such as wood, plants, vitality, toxicity, biomass, and even flesh and blood.

Many Advanced Rank spiritual substances contained the basic "Wood Spiritual Essence" molecules.

And Mythical Fire Bird's "Wood Essence into Fire" targeted "Wood Spiritual Essence" itself; as long as the substance contained "Wood Spiritual Essence" internally, it would be incinerated and disintegrated by Mythical Fire Bird's flames.

Additionally, the "ferocity" element added to the Mythical Fire Bird scroll's conception seemed to have further strengthened this ability.

Perhaps to put it in a more easily understandable way: as long as a substance's composition included carbon elements and carbon atoms, it could be directly burned away by Mythical Fire Bird's divine fire.

Of course, "Wood Spiritual Essence" still differed from the concept of carbon elements and carbon atoms in the previous world, but they were similar in essence.

Let's put it this way: a diamond, in front of Mythical Fire Bird's divine fire, was an easily flammable "charcoal."

Naturally, Mythical Fire Bird's Heaven-Defying ability must have certain limitations; otherwise, it would truly be invincible.

This power, in essence, still relied on Mythical Fire Bird's own Law Veins/Circuits condensation level.

Theoretically, the more complex and dense the "Wood Spiritual Essence," the harder it would be for Mythical Fire Bird's divine fire to burn.

It's like a question that circulated online in the previous world: nearly eighty percent of the human body is made of water, so why don't water mages directly control the water within the enemy's body to kill them?

In fact, it wasn't that water mages hadn't thought of this, but rather that ordinary water mages simply couldn't do it.

Water is different from water, or rather, the forms of water's existence are different.

The more tightly structured and complex the water molecules, the harder they are to control with magical power, unless the water mage has comprehended and mastered the Law of Water to a certain extent; otherwise, they simply cannot deal with the water in the human body.

It's like the water in a basin versus the water in a wet towel; the difficulty of extracting the two types of water is clearly different.

Therefore, Mythical Fire Bird's "Wood Essence into Fire" is not directly "invincible"; in essence, it is also subject to the limitations of these heaven and earth laws/principles.

The stronger the enemy, the denser the Wood Spiritual Essence within their body, and the more difficult it is to burn.

The reason Mythical Fire Bird displayed such terrifying lethality at this moment was simply because the monsters in this wave of beast tides were not very high Rank.

For example, the few elite monsters in the beast tide, although also suffering excruciating pain and emitting the scent of roasted meat from all over their bodies, the damage effect was clearly much smaller.

But even so, Mythical Fire Bird's power was astonishing enough, Heaven-Defying enough.

After all, this ability is basically impossible to defend against; it entirely depends on one's own Rank and the level of spiritual microstructure, and even some attack energies containing wood-attribute-related spirituality will be burned away.

Moreover, this power is not only directed at Otherworld monsters and various substances.

painting spirit scrolls are no exception.

After all, painting spirit is essentially a special spiritual body composed of spiritual pigments; as long as the painting pigments contain wood-attribute-related components, they cannot escape the threat of "Wood Essence into Fire."

It just depends on the opponent's painting spirit's Rank, quality, spirituality, level, and the strength of their Law Veins/Circuits.

Unbeknownst to them, the beast horde, consisting of hundreds of Otherworld beasts, had already been mostly eliminated by Wu Xian and the others.

Among them, at least half were burned to death by Mythical Fire Bird.

It can only be said that fire-attribute scrolls are naturally designed for group combat, especially powerful existences like Mythical Fire Bird.

Theoretically, as long as the enemy's Rank and spiritual density are within Mythical Fire Bird's kill line, no matter how many come, it's futile. As long as they enter Mythical Fire Bird's ability and attack range, they will be instantly cremated.

The only drawback is that it fundamentally destroys the spiritual structure and spiritual substances in the monster's Materials.

It can even cause a certain degree of distortion and pollution.

After all, distortion and pollution are essentially a type of power that arises from spiritual substances in chaos after the spiritual structure of matter is disintegrated, and Mythical Fire Bird's power inherently destroys the spiritual structure of matter.

It's normal for some distortion and pollution to occur.

After a wave of beast tides, Mythical Fire Bird directly rose to Six Star; as a group combatant, he levels up quickly.

"I feel it's better to use it less often," Wu Xian said with a strange expression.

Mythical Fire Bird is good in every way; he's very useful for bullying groups of monsters within his kill line, but his damage ability is a bit wasteful, leaving no Materials behind and causing a certain degree of distortion and pollution.

The distortion and pollution are manageable; making a batch of spiritual pigments would produce more distortion and pollution than this.

The main point is the lack of Material retention.

"This ability is a bit too outrageous, isn't it?" Tang Beng said in disbelief. "It directly disintegrates enemies at the spiritual level?"

Ma Tengyun strongly agreed. "So far, I've only heard that some top-tier factions' ultimate black scrolls have this kind of ability, but absolutely none are as simple, crude, and direct as Mythical Fire Bird."

"Do some top-tier black scrolls also have the power to disintegrate at the spiritual level?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"Mm," Ma Tengyun said, "scrolls that can reach the black scroll Rank generally have this ability, but none are as direct as Mythical Fire Bird. It's more like an incidental effect produced by a higher Law crushing a lower Law."

Wu Xian understood.

Simply put, the reason those top-tier black scrolls could produce spiritual-level disintegration effects was entirely due to the "brute force" at the Law level.

Unlike Mythical Fire Bird, who directly has the spiritual disintegration ability written into his innate traits.
