People are Behind the Scenes, and I Can Do the Material Fusion!

70: Eternal calamity, ashes!When he came out this time, besides getting some fresh air, it was also because he felt his cultivation realm was loosening, and he wanted to take the opportunity to break through.

For him, the best way was to fight a strong enemy.

It was a pity that Watanabe Ichiro ran away as soon as he saw him; otherwise, he would have been a good opponent.

However, the ”Doomsday-level bug” mentioned by the person in front of him, although he didn’t fully believe it, he still decided to bring it along.

It would be even better if he could meet the higher-ups of the other side.

He was also very curious: how powerful were those thousand-year-old powerhouses who, according to the evaluation of those old men, were seventy percent likely to be real?

And what was the true strength of the Star Constellation Society?

At this moment, Su Yun’s lips curled into a slight smile after hearing all this:

Excellent, it seems I’ve found a bodyguard for three days.

It seems the process of making this wish isn’t so bad after all.

However, An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang’s expressions were not good.

Although the crisis was temporarily averted and they had an extra powerful bodyguard, they hadn’t forgotten what Crow’s Mouth had just said—a ”Doomsday-level crisis.”

If anyone else had said it, they might not have believed it, but Crow’s Mouth was different; even if what he said was false, it would mostly come true.

Rumble!

Just as the group was talking, the volcano not far away suddenly erupted, and intense energy fluctuations spread out.

Everyone instinctively looked up and found that the previously scorching volcano’s temperature had plummeted; the crater was even frozen, and the sleeping Flame Demon was also frozen within it.

”Huh? Is Storm Empress in such a hurry?”

”She’s attacking before everyone has even arrived?” Ember Sky Son asked in confusion.

”No, everyone is already here.”

At this moment, a figure appeared beside Ember Sky Son; it was Rodriguez, the Space Grand Magister from the Beacon Country.

Ember Sky Son was not surprised and casually said:

”You’re acting so fast, without even notifying the Island Country in advance.”

Rodriguez sneered:

”Island Country? Besides Watanabe Ichiro, what other powerhouses do they have?”

”If they came, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths. Not only would they be no help, but we’d have to rescue them.”

Ember Sky Son didn’t refute but simply looked up quietly at Mount Fuji, which was covered in ice.

Storm Empress’s figure was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a fierce ice storm.

”It seems she intends to end this quickly.”

Rodriguez shrugged, ”That’s right, after all, their country is so vast, and they have so few people, so they have many things to deal with.”

Ember Sky Son remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded: ”Since that’s the case, let’s make our move too.”

An Changyang and the others stood below, looking up at this scene, their hearts filled with shock.

”Although our strength isn’t great, it seems we’ve seen battles like this several times already,” Fang Zhiqiang muttered to himself.

An Changyang whispered to Su Yun:

”Crow’s Mouth, what should we do next?”

”Should we wake Blood Ghost first?”

Su Yun was about to speak when he saw An Changyang hand him a piece of paper and a pen.

”Um, Crow’s Mouth, it’s not that I don’t believe you, I just think writing it down would be safer.”

Su Yun took the note, said nothing more, and began to write:

”No need to rush. Let’s stay here for now; we’re far enough away.”

”The probability of them fighting here is low. Let’s wait until Blood Ghost wakes up before making a decision.”

”Besides, I’ve already made a wish—these three days, safety!!!”

An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang didn’t ask any more questions after reading it and directly began to rest on the spot.

...

At this moment, the ice layer on Mount Fuji’s summit suddenly vibrated violently, and then a scorching stream of lava burst through the ice, and the Flame Demon’s roar shook the sky!

”Roar—!”

Storm Empress’s ice storm was forcibly torn apart.

The Flame Demon, its body burning with lava-like flames, slowly straightened its massive form, its gaze fixed on the few people in the sky.

The Flame Demon was extremely annoyed at this moment; it had finally wanted to get some peaceful sleep, but it was disturbed again.

It roared without hesitation, causing the temperature within a ten-thousand-meter radius to rise rapidly, and extended its massive palm to strike.

Storm Empress’s pupils constricted; the scorching heat wave unleashed by the Flame Demon’s palm actually caused cracks to appear in her ice domain.

She hastily retreated but collided with an invisible spatial barrier in mid-air—a spatial cage Rodriguez had already set up!

”You?!”

Storm Empress suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with shock.

Rodriguez’s lips curled into a strange smile:

”I’m sorry, but someone as strong as you should be fine as bait, right?”

Before he finished speaking, boom—!

The Flame Demon’s massive palm slammed down on Storm Empress.

The layer of ice armor on her body instantly vaporized from the high temperature, turning into a cloud of white mist that dissipated into the air.

In the nick of time, a dazzling golden sword light streaked across the sky.

Ember Sky Son, holding his Profound Gold longsword, forcefully slashed into the Flame Demon’s wrist.

Lava-like blood gushed out, staining half the sky red like a volcanic eruption.

”Roar!!!”

The Flame Demon cried out in pain and quickly retracted its giant palm.

Taking this opportunity, Storm Empress struggled free, her face as pale as paper:

”You actually plotted against me?!”

Rodriguez spread his hands, looking innocent: ”Don’t misunderstand, this is just a tactical necessity.”

”Besides, aren’t you fine?” he added, his tone light and casual.

However, Ember Sky Son frowned.

Although that sword strike had split the Flame Demon’s wrist, it only left a shallow wound, almost negligible for its massive body.

At this moment—

The Flame Demon felt pain for the first time, and its furious emotions caused its flame power to completely spiral out of control.

Violent flames shot into the sky, and Mount Fuji’s crust began to crack.

Countless magma giant snakes surged out of the cracks, turning the entire sky blood-red.

And even more unsettling was that the Evil Spirits’ black mist, which had been quiet beneath the Flame Demon’s feet, now began to churn, merging with the magma to form a bizarre purplish-black fluid!

”Something’s wrong...”

Ember Sky Son gripped his sword hilt, his voice low, ”It’s absorbing the power of the Evil Spirits!”

Upon hearing this, Rodriguez immediately released spatial fluctuations to sense it.

A moment later, his expression became grave:

”No, it’s not simple absorption.”

”This monster... it wants to become a Spirit Fusionist!”

He spoke these words with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Hearing this, Storm Empress was stunned:

”How is that possible?! Can monsters also become Spirit Fusionists?!”

Despite her disbelief, she still sensed it with her spiritual power.

When she saw the dark aura continuously pouring into the Flame Demon’s body, her face instantly darkened.

Ember Sky Son’s gaze was fixed on the Flame Demon.

The purplish-black fluid visibly invaded its body, and twisted black patterns appeared on its originally crimson skin, as if countless Evil Spirits were wriggling beneath.

After a brief silence, Ember Sky Son finally spoke:

”You two retreat first.”

His voice was calm yet firm, as if he had already made a decision.

Rodriguez and Storm Empress exchanged glances, then turned and left without hesitation.

They clearly knew that Ember Sky Son was going to get serious this time.

Ember Sky Son slowly raised the Profound Gold longsword in his hand.

However, at this very moment, the shining golden sword body slowly transformed into a dull gray.

Black particles also began to fall all around, as if ash-like snow was falling from the sky.

The entire scene became eerie and oppressive.

Ember Sky Son’s aura also changed accordingly.

He uttered a low phrase:

”Myriad Tribulations: Ash!”
