Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 210: Ice and Fire Origins

Several points of red light flashed and shot towards the four-armed demon monkey, transformed from the flame bullets.

The corners of the four-armed demon monkey's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile on its ugly, furry monkey face.

Gao Xian could see this very clearly. It was the first time he had seen such obvious human-like expressions on the faces of demonic beasts.

"This monkey is quite arrogant!"

Gao Xian's first reaction was that the monkey was even more pretentious than Yun Taihao. He felt annoyed and a little more cautious.

The four-armed demon monkey remained calm in the face of the sudden attack, showing a high level of intelligence. It didn't seem like a demonic beast that had grown up in a closed environment!

Third-stage demonic beasts definitely had good intelligence, but without the right environment, their intelligence wouldn't have the chance to develop.

It was like a clever child who grew up in a closed mountain village. Compared to ordinary children who received a systematic education, they would be much worse off.

Demonic beasts were far inferior to human cultivators. Demonic beasts only had instincts and lacked a knowledge system or inheritance system.

Although the demon race and demonic beasts looked similar, they were two completely different races. The demon race had its own knowledge system and a complete social organizational structure. Apart from differences in physical form and the human race, the differences in other aspects were very small.

Gao Xian dared to come and challenge the four-armed ape monkey because he believed that demonic beasts had low intelligence. Even if he couldn't defeat the opponent, he could easily retreat.

But now, the state of the four-armed demon monkey didn't seem as foolish as he had imagined!

Several flame bullets entered the ten-zhang range in front of the four-armed demon monkey and were disrupted by the powerful divine sense emitted by the monkey. The originally stable structure of the flame bullet's magic power began to become chaotic and uncontrollable.

Gao Xian had already reached the Great Master Returned to Origin Realm with the flame bullets. With the support of the Ice and Fire Ninth Stage, he was proficient in casting flame bullets and ice arrow spells and had never encountered a situation where his spells lost control.

His strengthened divine sense was slightly inferior to that of the four-armed demon monkey, so it was suppressed by the opponent's divine sense.

On the other hand, the four-armed demon monkey seemed to be good at fire-based spells, which allowed it to easily disrupt the structure of the flame bullets.

Gao Xian felt the flame bullets gradually losing control and immediately detonated them.

A burst of blazing flame light surged, with most of it rushing towards the four-armed demon monkey.

A hint of surprise appeared in the black and red eyes of the four-armed demon monkey. It seemed that the explosion of the flame bullets was beyond its expectations.

It calmly extended a claw and grabbed the flames that rushed towards it. The thousands of flames condensed again in its hand.

It seemed like it wanted to condense the flames back into a flame bullet, but when the flames compressed to the size of a fist, they suddenly shattered and dissipated.

A pensive look appeared in the eyes of the four-armed demon monkey, as if it was contemplating why this happened.

Gao Xian didn't care about what the four-armed demon monkey was thinking. Although the flame bullets were low-level spells, in his hands, they had been upgraded to top-tier second-level spells.

Even a third-stage Gold Core cultivator would not be able to understand the changes in the flame bullets in a short period of time, let alone a mere demonic beast.

Through the probing of the flame bullets, Gao Xian discovered that the four-armed demon monkey was skilled in fire-based spells.

He immediately changed tactics and cast the ice arrow spell.

Spells were condensed from magic power and could be consumed at will. Using long-range spells in battle was always Gao Xian's first choice.

The speed of the ice arrow spell far exceeded that of the flame bullets. With Gao Xian's powerful divine sense, its speed had already surpassed that of an ordinary second-level flying sword.

The distance between Gao Xian and the four-armed demon monkey was less than two hundred steps. Within a quarter of a second, the ice cones shot towards the four-armed demon monkey.

The four-armed demon monkey extended a claw again. It originally wanted to control the ice cones with its divine sense, but it quickly realized that it was unrealistic.

The ice cones were exceptionally solid and sharp, and their speed was too fast. Although it was skilled in ice-based magic power, it couldn't break down the ice cones.

It emitted a frosty chill from its claw, freezing the red smoke that filled the air into white mist.

The shooting cold light entered the range of the white mist and its speed suddenly dropped. By the time it reached the four-armed demon monkey, the four ice arrows had completely solidified in mid-air.

The four-armed demon monkey picked up one of the frozen ice cones and carefully examined it. A series of strange lights flashed in its black and red eyes as it tried to analyze the internal magic power structure of the ice cone.

As a third-stage demonic beast, it could see the power of the ice cone and was quite curious about this kind of spell.

Gao Xian was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that the four-armed demon monkey was proficient in both ice and fire magic, which completely countered the ice arrow spell and flame bullet. However, this didn't have much impact on him.

He liked using the ice arrow spell and flame bullet because they were convenient, quick, and powerful. However, these two spells had a low upper limit and were too weak against strong enemies.

Since the four-armed demon monkey was skilled in both ice and fire magic, its crystal core should be very useful and could even enhance the power of flame bullets and ice arrow spells! This made Gao Xian very happy.

Through two exchanges of spells, Gao Xian had already figured out the general situation of the four-armed demon monkey.

The four-armed demon monkey's divine sense was slightly stronger than his. However, the demon monkey's control over divine sense was too rough, which was a problem for all demonic beasts. Their control over divine sense and power came entirely from instinct.

The difference in the way they controlled divine sense meant that Gao Xian was not weaker than the four-armed demon monkey in terms of divine sense, and he might even be slightly stronger.

As for more specific combat skills, what could the four-armed demon monkey use to compete with him?

The only advantage this monkey had was its powerful magic power, which was ten times or even more than his own!

"Perhaps its body is also very strong?!"

Gao Xian's gaze swept over the nearly nine-foot-tall body of the four-armed demon monkey, with its complex pattern of black and red fur, making the monkey look even more eerie.

Demonic beasts have always had strong bodies, even surpassing body refining cultivators of the same rank. However, at the third stage, it is almost impossible for demonic beasts' bodies to synchronize with their magic power cultivation base.

The magic power at the Gold Core stage is too powerful, and only demonic beasts with exceptionally strong bloodlines have the possibility of possessing a third stage body refining body. Although this four-armed demon monkey was special, it didn't seem to have reached the realm of internal and external returning to origin, as far as he could see.

If it were to reach the third stage of body refining, its strong body would undoubtedly be revealed in every move.

Gao Xian had the Vajra Club to enhance his body, so he was quite knowledgeable about body refining. He felt that the state of the four-armed demon monkey's body was similar to his own, or even less refined and strong.

This was also normal. The Vajra Club had been optimized and improved by countless cultivators over generations, making it very suitable for human bodies. On the other hand, his cultivation of the Vajra Club had been blessed by the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, making it different from other cultivators who practiced the Vajra Club.

Through two rounds of spell exchanges, Gao Xian roughly estimated the cultivation base of the four-armed demon monkey. This greatly increased his confidence.

As Gao Xian's thoughts turned, he activated the Lingxi Sword. With a melodious sword cry, the Lingxi Sword transformed into a shimmering light wheel and instantly shot towards the four-armed demon monkey.

The four-armed demon monkey sensed something was wrong and its black and red eyes flickered with strange light. Its innate profound ice qi surged out.

The profound ice qi was intangible and deep, and when it was activated, it even showed a dark color. However, when it was activated and reacted with spiritual qi, it would emit a dense white cold air.

Especially in this place where killing intent was strong, the profound ice qi would be transformed into thick white smoke.

The water-colored sword ray, flowing and humming, entered the range of dense cold air, and its speed kept decreasing.

By the time it reached the four-armed demon monkey, the Lingxi Sword had already revealed its true form and slowly advanced inch by inch.

The corners of the four-armed demon monkey's mouth curled up in a mocking smile, and it reached out its claws to grab the Lingxi Sword.

The inch-long Lingxi Sword suddenly transformed into a crystal-clear light wheel, surprising the four-armed demon monkey. It quickly retracted its claws, but it was a step too slow.

One of its finger joints was swept by the light wheel, and the bone immediately broke.

Enraged, the four-armed demon monkey instinctively activated its scorching sun qi, and an unparalleled flame qi surged out, blasting the swiftly rotating Lingxi Sword away.

Originally, it wanted to play with the weak life in front of it, but being injured suddenly triggered its wild nature.

At this moment, it only wanted to kill this thing!

The other two long arms behind the four-armed demon monkey were raised high, and the scorching sun qi and profound ice qi were released simultaneously.

A red and a white giant palm condensed and formed, closing in on Gao Xian from both sides.

Gao Xian controlled the Qiankun Wheel and quickly retreated, but the two magic power qi condensed palms suddenly swelled and grew dozens of times larger.

The giant palms covered the sky and earth. At the same time, the blazing scorching sun qi and the cold profound ice qi intersected, naturally forming a strange realm of ice and fire, instantly condensing the space.

Gao Xian's activation of the Qiankun Wheel suddenly froze, and his body also stagnated in place.

The two intersecting giant palms suddenly closed, trapping him in the middle. The ice and fire, two opposing magic power qi, violently collided and expanded, creating a earth-shattering explosion...
