Chapter 227: Lava Core, Battle

Something unusual happened in the corner of the weapon refining gate, and the soldiers dropped from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

In just a moment, the young woman who was talking nonsense was taken away.

The leading soldier glanced at Shen Bai and said, "Ke Xiaoran, is your madness cured?"

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "I think it's healed now."

The soldier nodded and said, "If you are still not well, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to see the City Lord."

After saying this, the soldier turned around and left with the young woman.

Shen Bai watched the soldiers walk away, thinking to himself, "It's interesting that people who have lived here all their lives suddenly realize that everything here is fake and are considered crazy as a result."

In a short time, Shen Bai had pieced together everything he had just seen.

In the huge weapon refining hall, there was only this woman who showed abnormality, and Shen Bai did not discover anything else.

After thinking it over again and again, Shen Bai did not stay here for long, but turned around and left.

As for the matter of the City Lord's Mansion mentioned earlier, he planned to wait and see if there were any gains from this weapon refining conference.

After Shen Bai left, he wandered around the weapon refining gate again.

Until night gradually fell and darkness replaced light, the weapon refining sect became more and more lively.

"In such a bustling scene, we didn't even spot anyone from the evil forces. They're really good at hiding."

Shen Bai didn't see anyone related to the three major evil forces, and felt a little bored.

After strolling around for a while, Shen Bai left the weapon refining gate alone and went to the street outside.

Although the young man told him not to leave alone in the morning, the refining room was bustling with activity at that time and no one could control him.

The streets outside are equally bustling, with a rare and excellent nightlife. Everywhere is decorated with lights and is even more lively than the nights in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

At least when he was in the Great Zhou Kingdom, Shen Bai had never seen such a lively nightlife except for the Jiaofang Bureau and brothels.

As we were walking around, it was late at night.

Shen Bai tried to find someone to explain the truth or falsehood in detail, but he unexpectedly discovered that once these issues were involved, these people would automatically filter out the truth and even make up their own logic.

"That is to say, these people are very few in their ability to detect what is true and what is false."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai returned to the weapon refining sect.

He planned to wait until tomorrow to discuss it. Since he had nothing to do tonight, he would continue to improve his proficiency in the Liver-Bone Change Method.

The amber is already hidden in the body. With the bonus of three times the proficiency, the bone-changing technique is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

the other side.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Taoist Xusheng fell into deep thought.

"It's impossible. How could Shen Bai suddenly disappear? Didn't you see him going to the weapon refining gate?" Taoist Xu Sheng's doubts gradually deepened.

Monk Mingxin frowned and asked, "Has he never come out?"

The members of the Wild Buddha Sect had already changed into the same uniforms as the Lava City members and nodded, "That's right. After he entered the Refining Sect, it seemed like he suddenly disappeared. This is not in line with his style at all."

Dean Hou pondered and said, "According to our calculations, the lava core is in this lava domain. We will definitely enter the lava domain at tomorrow's weapon refining conference. I'm afraid we will have an encounter with him."

Taoist Xu Sheng came back to his senses and said, "It would be fine if we could know his whereabouts. After all, we entered as locals participating in the weapon refining conference, but the problem now is that he has disappeared."

Today, they have discussed a specific countermeasure and plan to participate in the Lava Domain activities of the Equipment Refining Conference as locals.

They also arranged people to guard around the weapon refining gate to prevent any unexpected events.

With the existence of elixirs that can shield the Qi, we can better understand Shen Bai's movements.

But now Shen Bai is missing.

It was as if he had never appeared. After entering the weapon refining gate, he never came out again.

They are now like blind and at a loss.

Dean Hou gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind. Damn it! We must enter the lava field tomorrow, otherwise all these people will be gone."

"After entering, no matter what the situation is, as long as we get the lava core, we can make Shen Bai die without a burial place!"

Taoist Xusheng and Monk Mingxin looked at each other and could see helpless expressions in each other's eyes.

In fact, it is just as President Hou said, they have no other choice but to burn their boats.

The three of them discussed again, made up their minds, and waited for tomorrow to come.

……

Time passed, and a night passed in the blink of an eye.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone in from outside, Shen Bai recovered from his hectic state and opened the door.

Outside, the courtyard of the weapon refining sect was already filled with people.

Fortunately, the yard is big enough, so even with hundreds or thousands of people, it doesn't seem crowded.

Many people from the weapon refining sect are already on standby and are maintaining order.

A gray-haired old man stepped forward and said, "Ke Xiaoran, are you ready to enter the lava field?"

This time, not only people from the outside world can enter the lava area, but even people from the weapon refining sect can enter as well.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I'm ready, Sect Master."

Yesterday, Shen Bai's wandering around was not in vain. He had already figured out the general interpersonal relationships in the weapon refining sect.

The old man in front of him is the leader of the weapon refining sect, named Situ Zhen.

Sect Master Situ nodded and said, "Ever since a series of people in the Weapon Refining Sect have been infected with madness, you have become one of the most outstanding people in our Weapon Refining Sect. I hope your madness will not affect the Weapon Refining Conference."

There are many talents like Ke Xiaoran in the weapon refining conference, and Ke Xiaoran is not the only one.

It was just because he was infected with the so-called madness and suddenly recovered that he attracted the attention of Sect Leader Situ.

Shen Bai nodded and agreed: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely get good results."

You definitely have to pretend.

After seeing Sect Master Situ walk away, Shen Bai walked to a special seat and sat down, waiting patiently.

There were already quite a few unfamiliar faces inside the weapon refining hall. After Shen Bai scanned the area with his red eyes, he found nothing unusual.

"The other party has a method to block the Qi and Tianji, specifically to guard against me, but now I have used the bone-changing method to change my appearance, maybe I can catch them off guard. What I need now is to wait."

Shen Bai didn't think much about it and continued to cover the weapon refining door with his red eyes.

About an incense stick of time later, Sect Leader Situ, along with a large group of elders, walked to the high platform in the courtyard.

The originally noisy crowd quieted down until you could hear a pin drop.

Sect Master Situ cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, welcome to the annual grand ceremony of the Weapon Refining Sect. Now, the Weapon Refining Conference begins, and the Lava Domain is about to open. However, the process still needs to be followed. Let me first introduce the Lava Domain to everyone."

Sometimes it’s bullshit. Even if you know what to do, you still have to go through the ceremony.

Next, Sect Leader Situ began to explain the so-called Lava Domain Ritual.

"As everyone knows, the lava field has always been a characteristic of our Lava City. The so-called lava field is a lava world deep underground."

"There's a lot of lava energy in it. Not only can it be used to refine weapons, it can even be used to strengthen oneself."

"There aren't many forces that can get the opportunity to open the Lava Domain, and our Weapon Refining Sect is one of them."

When he said this, Sect Leader Situ was even a little smug, as if getting the qualification was a great honor.

"Everyone, there are dangers after entering the lava area. Please be careful."

"Then let's start entering the lava field now."

After finishing the last sentence, Sect Leader Situ took out a piece of fiery red jade from his arms.

The other elders also reached into their arms and took out the same jade as Sect Leader Situ.

They opened their mouths and chanted strange syllables.

Each syllable is incomprehensible when read individually, but when all the syllables are put together, a strange fluctuation is immediately produced.

A hexagonal array symbol appeared on the ground. When the array symbol appeared, the ground began to turn fiery red.

After a while, the fiery red ground began to melt, and a bottomless pit appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone, enter in order."

Sect Leader Situ waved his sleeves.

Afterwards, the disciples of the weapon refining sect came forward one by one and handed the plaques with serial numbers to each person.

The serial number on each card is the order.

After all the cards were distributed one by one, the disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect retreated one by one.

At this time, starting with the first one, they came to the deep pit one by one, jumped out, and soon disappeared.

The card Shen Bai held was number twelve. After seeing how this group of people entered, he couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Such a wild way to enter?"

He was at the front of the line, so there was no time to think too much.

Not long after, it was Shen Bai's turn to enter.

Shen Bai came to the deep pit and jumped into it, following the example of the person in front of him.

……

At this time, people from the three evil forces were making eye contact with each other.

Taoist Xusheng saw people jumping into the deep pit one after another, and he looked around quietly, with more and more doubts in his eyes.

"Why haven't you seen Shen Bai yet?"

After this thought came to mind, Taoist Xusheng felt increasingly uneasy.

Not only him, but also Monk Mingxin and Dean Hou.

The weirder things are, the more uneasy they make people feel.

But the three of them knew in their hearts that the arrow was now on the string and had to be shot. Even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they had to grit their teeth and jump down.

"As long as we find the lava core, Shen Bai will definitely die!"

Everyone had an idea in their mind.

Afterwards, starting in order, people from the evil forces also jumped into the deep pit one after another.

……

When Shen Bai jumped into the deep pit, his first reaction was a burst of scorching heat.

The temperature inside was much higher than outside, and even Shen Bai felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the falling time was not long. In just a moment, Shen Bai had arrived underground.

The underground is a world of lava, with no place to stand.

After Shen Bai looked around, he found that everyone was standing in the air, not daring to touch the lava below.

Many people gathered in groups of three or four, looking at the people around them vigilantly.

Many more people appeared one after another. When everyone came down, the big hole above was still there, and the voice of Sect Master Situ came from outside the hole.

"Everyone, let's get started."

Once these words were spoken, they stood out.

A wisp of fiery red breath emerged from the lava, emitting a heart-pounding scorching temperature, and flew towards a certain place.

"Is this the breath of lava?" Shen Bai narrowed his eyes but did not move.

There are many people who share the same idea as him. After all, there is more than one wisp of lava in the lava field, and the most important thing is to obtain the most benefits at the lowest cost.

Of course, there were also people who, with the idea of ​​catching as much as they could, quickly chased after the lava scent.

In just a short while, more than ten people left.

At this time, wisps of lava breath emerged again, and more and more people left.

"You really can hide it."

Shen Bai has been monitoring the surroundings with his red eyes.

He found that he didn't see any people from the evil forces, and actually thought he was a local. Shen Bai didn't notice anything unusual.

"Try grabbing a wisp of lava breath."

Shen Bai didn't find anything unusual, so he wanted to try to catch a wisp of lava first. After all, this thing was indeed unusual.

Thinking of this, when another wisp of lava breath emerged, Shen Bai flew towards the location of the lava breath.

As Taoist Xusheng saw fewer and fewer people coming, his doubts grew day by day.

"Is this matter so simple?"

"Shen Bai really didn't come down?"

"So what is he working on?"

Many thoughts raced through his mind.

Monk Mingxin pointed to a location and said, "Over there."

Just at this moment, the lava breath was flying in the direction pointed by Monk Mingxin.

Dean Hou waved his hand and said, "Chase!"

Taking advantage of this scent of lava, they also had a reason to chase after them.

Soon, many people from the evil forces chased after the lava in batches.

……

Shen Bai was extremely fast and it didn't take him long to reach the side of the lava.

He stretched out his hand, which was shrouded in the light of his flawless soul body, and caught the aura of lava.

When the lava breath came into his hands, Shen Bai felt the heat rushing in like crazy, trying to penetrate into his body.

"According to the weapon refining sect, this thing can not only refine weapons, but also nourish the body. It seems that drilling into the body can nourish the body."

There was no way Shen Bai would let such an unknown thing get into his body. After the Qi in his body circulated for a while, the lava smell disappeared completely.

When the people who were chasing saw this, they thought that Shen Bai had absorbed the lava breath, so they stopped chasing and headed towards another location where there was a lava breath.

Shen Bai didn't chase him anymore.

He realized that the lava aura was useless to him, so he simply gave up the desire to pursue it.

It is better to look for something weird than to chase this thing. After all, it is rumored that there are weird things in the lava forbidden area.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai asked Amber in his heart.

"Do you sense any strange aura?"

After asking this question, Amber gave an immediate answer.

"Master, I seem to feel it, but the smell is very faint and I can't tell the exact location."

"Maybe it's because the distance is not enough. Master, you can fly everywhere. I will tell you when the distance is enough."

Shen Bai nodded, changed direction, and flew in this direction under the guidance of Amber.

……

The breath of lava is extremely important to the people in Lava City. Shen Bai even saw many people fighting because of the breath of lava.

Some people even died because of it.

But these things seem to be unspoken rules, no one stops them, and no one thinks it is wrong.

Shen Bai kept searching, and soon, Amber's voice emerged in his mind.

"Master, I've detected some strange traces right under your feet." Under your feet?

Shen Bai turned his head and looked at the place under his feet.

There was a lava field below, and when I looked up, I could see that the temperature was extremely high.

Shen Bai frowned and tried to fly downwards. Soon he was close to the magma.

The scorching heat came quickly.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and planned to try to break open the magma to see if there was anything strange inside.

But at this moment, figures were approaching this side.

Under the gaze of Poxu's red eyes, Shen Bai discovered that there were a huge number of these people, as many as thousands.

And these thousands of people were all coming towards where Shen Bai was.

"It seems that it is probably those evil forces." Shen Bai said in his heart.

There was no smell of lava, yet these people came here at the same time. This alone was enough to arouse suspicion.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Bai used Shadow Thousand Kills, blending into the shadows and concealing his own aura.

He had just hidden his aura when the next moment, thousands of figures came close to him.

Taoist Xusheng glanced around and asked, "Is this the place?"

Monk Mingxin nodded and said, "Yes, it's here."

Dean Hou frowned and asked, "Why haven't we found Shen Bai yet? Could it be that he really hasn't entered the lava area?"

Taoist Xu Sheng said, "Don't worry too much, Dean. Since Shen Bai hasn't been found, it proves that Shen Bai really didn't come in. This is a good thing for us. When we finish our business, it will be Shen Bai's death."

Dean Hou sighed, knowing that this was indeed the case.

But he was still a little worried because everything was going too smoothly.

Taoist Xusheng was about to ask someone to break open the magma below, but at this moment, an ordinary-looking man suddenly appeared in front of them.

When this person appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of people around him.

"Who are you!" Monk Mingxin exuded a frightening black aura.

Everyone drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

This person's appearance was so sudden that even they didn't react.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Don't you know me?"

Taoist Xu Sheng frowned and said, "If you are looking for the smell of lava, then please leave immediately. There is no smell of lava here."

He was sure that he had never seen the person in front of him before.

Shen Bai then revealed a look of sudden realization: "I almost forgot, I still have this face."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qi in Shen Bai's body began to circulate.

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, an extremely terrifying scene appeared.

The ordinary-looking man in front of him suddenly changed his appearance, and his height and body size shrank slightly.

Not only that, even the man's appearance gradually became handsome.

In just a moment, everyone discovered that this person had turned into Shen Bai.

"Chen Bai!"

Taoist Xusheng widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

What answered him was Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy.

Countless sword energies from the Soul-Destroying Sword burst out from above the cold moon, filling the entire sky in an instant.

At the same time, each sword energy, under Shen Bai's control, enveloped the people of the evil forces below.

No more chatter, no more nonsense, Shen Bai just used his ultimate move.

The people from the many evil forces felt a chill all over their bodies. They circulated their Qi to the peak, trying to block the terrifying sword energy.

But then, these people from the evil forces were pierced through by the sword energy in the blink of an eye, and fell into the magma like dumplings.

They were no match for Shen Bai and couldn't even get past him with one move.

Only Taoist Xu Sheng and the other three who were at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm were able to resist, but they had already suffered heavy losses.

Taoist Xusheng's chest was covered in blood and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Monk Mingxin's left arm was broken and his face was as pale as paper.

Dean Hou had disheveled hair and even exuded a deathly aura.

"Being able to block one sword is pretty good, but what about the second sword?"

What made them despair was Shen Bai’s second sentence.

When these words were spoken, the blood-red sword energy in the sky reappeared, densely covering the sky, which was extremely terrifying.

"You two, hurry up and enter the magma, only then can you survive!" Taoist Xusheng shouted.

It's impossible to win in a fight. It's already extremely difficult to take one sword, let alone the second one?

Only by running into the magma can you have a chance to survive.

Monk Mingxin nodded and prepared to turn around and enter the lava.

But the next scene made him feel hopeless.

The Wan Gu worm is very difficult to control and only Dean Hou can control it. Because of this, the Wan Gu worm has been handed over to Dean Hou for safekeeping. This is also the plan between the three of them.

But now, Dean Hou jumped into the magma with the Ten Thousand Poison Insects, and at the same time used Qi to separate the magma, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

It would have been fine if he had just run away, but before Dean Hou left, he threw out a wooden box.

After the wooden box was opened, it turned into a large net, blocking their way.

It was obvious that Dean Hou wanted to use them to stop Shen Bai.

"Shameless old thief!" Monk Mingxin roared.

There was anger in Taoist Xusheng's eyes, but he was no longer allowed to speak.

Because Shen Bai's voice sounded behind them.

"When disaster strikes, everyone flees. In this case, I will reluctantly accept your lives."

In the sky, the blood-red sword energy gradually gathered and in an instant turned into two extremely condensed sword energies, shooting towards Taoist Xusheng and Monk Mingxin.

The talisman papers on Taoist Xusheng's body flew out, and there were hundreds of them emitting terrifying light.

Barriers covered his entire body, and the layers upon layers of barriers were stacked together to an extremely thick degree.

Monk Mingxin circulated the black energy, transforming it into a pure black Buddha statue that covered his entire body.

This was their strongest defense method. They only hoped to block this sword, immediately break Dean Hou's ban, and escape into the magma.

But they were too whimsical.

The so-called talisman paper and sculptures looked very strong, but under Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy, they looked like they were made of paper.

"Crack!"

Like the sound of an eggshell breaking, the blood-red sword energy easily penetrated the two of them.

The two men looked down and found a bloody hole in their chest. Both their souls and internal organs were completely consumed by the blood-red sword energy.

"you……"

Taoist Xusheng opened his mouth and said only one word before his eyes turned black and he turned into a corpse and fell into the lava.

Monk Mingxin died even earlier and turned into ashes before he could utter a single word.

"One left."

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the magma in front of him.

He didn't expect that by following Amber's guidance, he would be lucky enough to meet someone from the evil forces.

I can only say that everything is fate.

A white light appeared on Shen Bai's body, and the light of his flawless soul body enveloped his entire body.

"Pfft!"

A voice was heard, Shen Bai jumped into the magma and quickly disappeared.

……

After Dean Hou fell into the lava, he fled forward frantically as if for his life.

While running away, he was still complaining in his heart.

"You know nothing!"

"What's the point of running together?"

"When I encounter a tiger, I don't need to run faster than the tiger, I just need to run faster than you!"

The magma ahead is layered, and the closer you get to the magma, the higher the temperature becomes.

Dean Hou could even feel that the Qi in his body was rapidly being consumed.

Behind him, a figure was approaching. Dean Hou could feel the terrifying murderous aura, which made him tremble in his heart.

"Faster! I need faster!"

Dean Hou was filled with even greater fear. He kept urging and trying his best to get closer to the core of the lava.

In front of us, there was a terrifying ball of light, the temperature of which was extremely high even in the magma.

There were streams of lava breath continuously emitted around the light ball, and the lava breath flew towards the magma above, as if trying to escape from the magma.

Dean Hou knew that this was the core of the lava and the source of the lava smell.

Hidden inside is a terrifying monster, which is the result of the resentment accumulated in the Lava Forbidden Land.

"Shen Bai, you're dead!"

Dean Hou did not hesitate and quickly took out the Wan Gu Worm and threw it towards the ball of light in front.

The moment the Wan Gu worm came into contact with the light ball, it suddenly generated a terrifying devouring power.

Immediately afterwards, the Wan Gu insects actually swallowed the ball of light quickly.

After swallowing the magma core, the Wan Gu worm began to expand rapidly.

When the Wan Gu insect was small, it looked golden and even a little cute.

But when the size of the Wan Gu worm increased by dozens of times, it became extremely ferocious.

"Come, become one with me!" Dean Hou felt a little anxious.

He knew in his heart that the devouring ability of the Wan Gu worm was its most powerful ability.

But those who raise Gu don't know how to use them. They use Wan Gu insects to devour Gu insects. If they have this ability, wouldn't it be better to do something else than raising Gu?

After receiving guidance from Dean Hou, the Wan Gu insect quickly merged with Dean Hou.

Then, a horrifying scene occurred to Dean Hou.

Dean Hou was seen with golden barbs all over his body, starting from the top of his head and densely covering his limbs and torso.

Four eyes appeared on the forehead, each with a fierce look.

His strength was already at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and after turning into this ghostly appearance, he had actually taken one step into the next realm.

Shen Bai finally arrived at this time. After seeing Dean Hou's expression, he said with a tut of his mouth, "You backstabbed your companions and ran away, only to end up like this. It's really unsightly."

Dean Hou turned his head, staring at Shen Bai with six cold eyes, and said, "Shen Bai, your death is near. I have already stepped half a foot into the next level. In addition, I have swallowed the lava core and the Ten Thousand Gu Worms. I am invincible in this magma!"

The corners of Shen Bai's mouth curled up slightly: "So, your original idea was to use the Wan Gu insects to devour everything?"

Dean Hou sneered, "That's right, the lava core of the Lava Forbidden Land is the most important. Today, I will let you die here, and then I will take the Ten Thousand Gu Worms out for careful study. Then, great things will be accomplished!"

What answered him was blood-red sword energy.

When the sword energy burst out, Dean Hou immediately felt a shock in his heart.

But he stretched out his hand without hesitation and waved at the lava.

The high-temperature magma was quickly attracted by Dean Hou at his wave, forming a terrifying barrier.

When the barrier emerged, Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy pierced into it, but was quickly burned out by the high temperature of the magma.

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "Interesting, your magma is really not weak."

Dean Hou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could resist Shen Bai.

"So what if you can defeat the enemy in adversity? How can a mere Void Transformation Realm compare to me?"

"Today, I will let you become a part of me in the magma!"

He felt happier.

He even thought that after he dealt with Shen Bai, he would report the good news to his superiors, who would then give him a generous reward.

By that time, he will be at the top of the world and no one will be able to match him.

Under the guidance of Dean Hou, the temperature of the terrifying magma was raised by hundreds of levels.

With such a terrifying temperature, even someone at the Heavenly Spirit Realm would be burned to ashes in an instant.

The flawless soul light on Shen Bai's body was breaking, but it was soon replaced by Shen Bai.

"Ugh……"

Shen Bai sighed.

Dean Hou saw this and thought Shen Bai could no longer hold on. He sneered and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, why not just give up? I can give you a quick and dignified death."

"I'm actually the most compassionate person. Don't worry, I will never let you feel any pain. In just a moment, you will be vaporized, and in the end, not even a complete body will be found."

Shen Bai gave Dean Hou a strange look: "Why do you think I can't beat you?"

Dean Hou was slightly stunned.

A sense of foreboding blossomed in his heart.

He increased his speed and began to increase the temperature of the magma, causing the temperature to rise several levels again.

But what followed were Shen Bai's words full of regret.

"It does have offensive power, but... it's still not enough."

Shen Bai held Han Yue and spoke word by word. With every word he spoke, a phantom of magical power appeared behind him.

Sword energy, Buddha, Taoism, shadows, formations...

Surrounded by all kinds of magical powers, Shen Bai looked as if he came from the deepest darkness, which was creepy and chilling.

Dean Hou watched this scene and felt goose bumps all over his body, as if he was suddenly thrown into ice and snow in the scorching weather, making it hard for him to breathe.

"How is this possible? Why do I feel like I'm dying?"

An unrealistic idea emerged in Dean Hou's mind.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Shen Bai's voice, which was like a devilish sound rising from the bottom of his heart, making him feel cold all over.

Shen Bai spoke slowly.

"You see me sighing, thinking I'm sorry I can't defeat you."

"I do have regrets, but the regret is that I don't have an opponent."

"You almost meant it after all."

"What you call strength is nothing but self-righteous strength. A mayfly is still a mayfly after all. How can it compare to the sky?"
