Chapter 428 - What A Big Fire!
Chapter 428: What A Big Fire!
The range of this fire had to be sufficiently wide.
Not tens of meters, or hundreds of meters, but nearly 3,000 miles.
All 3,000 miles along the shore of the lake had to be ignited.
And allowed to burn for an hour!
In such a large area, ordinary methods would not work, not to mention that the water vapor around the lake was so dense that it had turned into mist.
After Su Jingxing learned of this method, he pondered over how to start a fire as he traveled.
Now, there was no need. Once he activated his divine power, Command The Winds and Fire, he could even ignite the entire Copper Lake, let alone just 3,000 miles.
The only thing to worry about was that there were aquatic devils in the Copper Lake and they were very powerful.
If Su Jingxing were to set a fire by the lake for an hour, there was a 99% chance that he would lure the devils out.
At that time, no one knew whether they would be watching each other warily or getting into fight.
However, since he was already here, he had to start a fire no matter what.
Before setting the fire, Su Jingxing changed his appearance again.
Then, he stood by the bank of the lake and released his divine power, commanding the winds and fire.
Whoosh!
On the misty shore, waves surged, hitting the rocks and creating ripples.
A breeze captured the moisture and swept across the water surface.
Chi!
In the air, a cluster of sparks appeared out of thin air, but they were quickly extinguished by the water vapor.
Hu~
The gentle breeze slowly intensified and turned into fair wind. It stirred the mist on the lake and formed patterns.
Chi! Chi!
Sparks appeared again, blooming out of thin air. Under the interference of the water vapor, they were quickly extinguished.
Hu! Hu!
The wind began to grow stronger, blowing away large patches of the mist.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Clusters of flames burned and manifested in midair. This time, they resisted the water vapor and did not extinguish immediately. Instead, they lasted for more than ten seconds before evaporating.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind continued to intensify, turning into a gale.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Another cluster of flames appeared, offsetting the water vapor.
However, under the enhancement of the strong winds, it did not extinguish.
Then, as the wind grew stronger, the flames grew taller and quickly turned into a blaze.
Hu! Hu! Boom!
The wind drove the fire, producing large flames that burned by the lake.
Under the high temperature, all the surrounding water vapor quickly evaporated into nothingness.
For the first time, an empty area appeared on the misty shore. The surface of the lake could be seen clearly.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The fire drove by the wind and increased its force, spreading to both sides.
The wind intensified the flames, evaporating the water vapor and dissolving the mist.
Soon, an empty area of more than a thousand meters appeared on the shore.
The area grew bigger and longer.
It moved deeper and deeper along the sides.
100 miles, 200 miles, 300 miles, 400 miles…
Hu hong! Hu hong!
Fire, a big fire was finally born.
The raging flames in the air turned the mist and water vapor into nothing wherever they passed.
800 miles, 900 miles, 1,000 miles!
A shore line that was a thousand miles long made of flames was born under the sky for the first time in more than 100,000 years.
Moreover, the fiery red shore line continued to extend.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moist air turned into a scorching aura.
However, it was only at the edge of the lake and not deep in the center.
The surface of the lake was still shrouded in mist and water vapor.
Due to the stimulation from the burning flames, the water vapor was even heavier than before, causing the mist to become even denser.
When the entire fiery red shoreline was more than 2,000 miles long, bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake near the shore.
Bloop! Bloop! Amidst the strange sounds, there was a loud bang.
One by one, strange-looking underwater devils about two meters tall appeared.
“On the shore! Fire, what a big fire! Where did such a big fire come from?”
Through the dense mist, these aquatic devils traversed the water and rushed towards the shore.
When they got close, they controlled the lake water to splash at the flames in midair.
Boom!
The flames augmented by the strong wind were struck by large amounts of water, but they were not affected at all.
The flames summoned by Command The Winds and Fire were not ordinary fire, but pure fire energy.
Such flames could burn in the air and not fear ordinary water.
Su Jingxing focused his spiritual essence on his eyes and saw these devils in the water through the mist.
None of them had fully revealed themselves and retained their original forms.
Half of their bodies were like shrimps, while the other half resembled crabs. A few retained fish heads.
Shrimp, crab, and fish soldiers?
Surprised, Su Jingxing increased his divine power.
Hu! Hu! Hu! Boom!
The wind pushed the fire, and vice versa. The power of the divine power was completely unleashed.
More than 2,000 miles of the shore, a fiery and violent sweep began.
Everywhere it passed, water vapor and mist turned into nothingness inch by inch.
The devils in the water who had attempted to extinguish the flames were all dumbfounded.
The fire dragons wandered and continued to extend down the shoreline.
Finally, the entire long line of burning flames were more than 3,000 miles long.
Whoosh!
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud splash, a huge black shadow broke through the water surface and soared into the sky.
At this moment, a majestic and cold devilish energy was released on the lake and swept out.
Boom!
The air exploded and space surged.
A thick pillar of water rose from the surface of the lake, turning into a hideous water dragon that pounced towards the flaming belt.
“How dare you cause trouble in Copper Lake? You’re courting death!”
A low and hoarse shout resounded on the shore of the lake.
A huge wyrm that was hundreds of meters long appeared in Su Jingxing’s field of vision.
The other party’s bell-like eyes swept across the shore of the lake, searching for a target.
The dense mist that affected vision seemed to be non-existent in its eyes.
“Found you!”
When its gaze landed on Su Jingxing, the wyrm roared and released terrifying devilish energy. It stirred the lake water that filled the sky and transformed into a dozen water dragons that wrapped around Su Jingxing.
A moment ago, the water dragon had collided with the flaming belt, producing a large amount of mist and water vapor.
On Su Jingxing’s side, he disappeared on the spot the moment the water dragon rushed over.
Instead of escaping, he flew quickly along the long shoreline.
At the same time, he increased the strength of Command The Winds and Fire, releasing terrifying heat energy.
Strong winds and flames began to spread not only on the shore but also towards land and the center of the lake.
When the giant wyrm saw this, it was furious and roared for the other devil in the water to retreat into the water.
The huge wyrm that did not transform into human form snarled and stirred up a fearsome tide on the lake. Like a wave, it stacked up layer by layer until it was more than a thousand meters tall and more than a thousand miles long. It formed a water wall that was a hundred meters thick before pushing the water towards the flaming belt.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hu! Hu! Hu! Boom!
Under the sky, the two powerful forces, the water wall and the flaming belt, kept getting closer and closer.
Finally——
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, extremely dense water vapor rose and instantly covered half of the copper lake.
The huge wyrm also crashed back into the water with a bang.
“Divine… Divine power?!”
