Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Ji Mingze’s Resolute Counterattack!

Water can overcome fire, but when the fire is strong enough, it can also resist water!

Among the Five Elements, creation and conquest are but the most basic principles in the Cultivation World!

As a cultivator with a pure Fire Spiritual Root, Ji Mingze naturally had some understanding of the two attributes associated with fire—the water and metal properties.

However, he never imagined that Lu Chen wasn’t a cultivator with a Water Spirit Root, but instead one with a Five Elements Spirit Root!

The Five Elements are complete, emphasizing a balance of power.

He achieved this balance, which is why he could easily transform the Spiritual Power within his body.

Moreover, with his domineering Resentful Heaven Blood, if Ji Mingze had any thoughts of suppressing Lu Chen based on their Spirit Roots, his calculations were undoubtedly in vain!

This was exactly what Lu Chen had in mind!

Seeing the opponent transform into a gigantic figure of fire, his gaze sharpened, and he quickly devised a strategy in his heart.

You have fire, do I not have fire as well?

Moreover, my Five Elements Spiritual Power is much more rich and pure than that of ordinary cultivators!

"Summon fire, rise to the body!"

Lu Chen immediately recalled the Fire Control Magic Formula he had learned at Casting Gear Pavilion. Using the Spiritual Fire beneath the stage as a catalyst, he transformed all the Five Elements Spiritual Power in his Dantian into Fire Spiritual Power in an instant!

After passing through the Spiritual Fire, it surged out from within his body, and he too became a gigantic figure of fire!

"Hmph, let’s see who’s more formidable!"

With a cold laugh, Lu Chen gripped the Heavenly Inquiry Spear tightly!

The spear was alive, and its body was refined from a cliff of profound iron!

As heavy as a thousand jun, it was capable of channeling any kind of Spiritual Power!

"Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!"

Under the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, he saw the fiery figure Ji Mingze had become, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, and he seized the opportunity to execute his own Heavenly Inquiry Spear Skill!

As he too was enveloped in fire, the Spear Strikes Like a Dragon naturally unleashed a fiery dragon that collided fiercely with the opponent!

Boom!

Fire splashed in all directions, forcing Ji Mingze to retreat several steps!

Lu Chen didn’t give him a chance to catch his breath, his palm forcefully swept over the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, causing the spear to become even thicker!

His Heavenly Inquiry Spear had always been a Spiritual Artifact, not just an ordinary Magic Artifact!

In the hands of the fiery figure, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear became even more suitable for combat. Lu Chen pressed forward again, his every move and style of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Skill forcing Ji Mingze into a continuous retreat!

He was completely taken aback!

Clearly having a Water Spirit Root, how could the fiery figure suddenly formed by Lu Chen possess a Fire Spiritual Power aura that was in no way inferior to his own!

Ji Mingze was incredibly alarmed and already contemplating escape, but Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear Skill tightly entangled him, leaving him no strength to make another choice.

The more they fought, the more fearful he became!

Unable to overcome his opponent, unable to escape!

As for Lu Chen, the longer the battle, the braver he became. After his breakthrough to the later stage of Foundation Establishment, his use of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Skill became even more adept.

He was completely unaware that all this was due to the connection with the Taoist platform spear!

The engraved lines on the body of the spear made Lu Chen’s Spiritual Power channeling smoother, resulting in an extraordinary enhancement of his Spear Skill execution!

And all because it contained Resentful Heaven Blood!

This made the connection between Lu Chen and the Taoist platform spear even more intimate!

However, Lu Chen was unaware of all this and had no time to be mindful of it!

Ji Mingze was completely at a disadvantage.

Yet he could still barely hold on, living up to his status as a favored disciple of a leading sect in the Western Regions!

Lu Chen proceeded methodically, not daring to be rash in his desire for a swift victory. As long as his Spiritual Power was stronger than his opponent’s, he would eventually exhaust him, leaving him at his mercy!

Furthermore, disciples of such caliber might possess life-saving spells just like Kong Wu or even attempt a mutual destruction with Lu Chen.

If that were to happen, what good would Lu Chen’s victory do?

This was not what he wanted to see!

In his hands, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Skill continued to oppress Ji Mingze.

And as Lu Chen anticipated, Ji Mingze finally realized that he had no way out and had to resort to his life-saving spell!

"Wildfire Spreads Across Fields!"

Ji Mingze’s eyes seemed to split as he finally spat out those four words!

In a moment, his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which surged into the flames.

The fire’s intensity soared, engulfing the figure that Lu Chen had transformed into!
