Divine Flame Crystal

Xingluo waited patiently until late at night. His super pupils reflected the target's figure. Xingluo put on a mask, hid his figure in the darkness, and went straight to the slums. Passing by the little girl's house, he found that there was no breath of life in it. He nodded slightly, and without stopping, he went straight to the house where the target was.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xingluo planned to sneak in while the other party was carving the magic circle.

After a brief feeling, he pushed the door open and entered. Inside was a simple layout that couldn't be simpler. However, there was a faint smell of blood, indicating that things seemed to be not peaceful inside.

Xingluo found that there was nothing special in it. Could there be a secret door? He released his mental power and sensed it. His perception of the magic array was far superior to that of ordinary people. If there was anything, it would be exposed under his mental power.

Sure enough, a strange magical fluctuation was found at the location of a wall-mounted candlestick with complex patterns on it. Xingluo raised his hand and turned the candlestick. The pattern and the wall were connected together, and magic power was poured into it. The magic circle hidden in the wall stood out, and the magic power flowed rapidly along the magic circle diagram. The wall disappeared, and a strong smell of blood gushed out.

Xingluo even had an urge to vomit. After adjusting for a moment, he put up the magic shield and began to walk inside. This was the passage leading to the basement. The steps felt slippery and there were roars coming from below.

When we arrived at the basement, we found a large circular altar in the middle. The creature on the altar was in a big letter shape with its limbs fixed on the altar. Five black-robed wizards were muttering something, and magic mixed with red liquid was flowing along the magic circle carved on the altar. It seemed that some evil ritual was being performed.

Xingluo's aura has been hidden. In addition to the time hourglass, Xingluo also mastered a magic that can hide himself in time. He called this the time cage, which was originally used to trap the enemy, but it turned out to be able to hide himself.

This was a small attempt after he had a deep understanding of time magic. This was completely different from invisibility, as it placed oneself in the long river of time, which could not be sensed by the eyes or the mind. Unless one also had a certain degree of understanding of time magic, it would be difficult to be discovered.

Xingluo watched quietly, and he began to try to analyze the magic circle on the altar. "It seems to be vaguely related to the large magic circle for sacrificing 10 people. Hmm, it seems to be a kind of activation magic circle?"

“Could this be the key to activating that large magic circle? Looking at the completion of the magic circle here, it seems to be synchronized with the large magic circle. It can be activated in a few days. Let’s wait for the crystal holder to come back. These are all high-level wizards. Before that guy comes back, we should get rid of them first, and then fight the crystal holder one-on-one.” As a great magician, Xingluo was already very cautious in his actions. If the other party didn’t also have a crystal, he would have taken action long ago.

"It didn't take long before the target appeared in the slums. Xingluo no longer hesitated and released the time black hole instantly. This was the advantage of being a dual-element mage. The black hole magic instantly reached its formation state, saving the previous casting time and almost firing it smoothly. In the past, when he cast the black hole, it took at least 3 seconds to reach this state, but now it takes less than 1 second, and he only paid some time magic.

Several mages never expected that someone would find this place, and were caught off guard and swallowed by the black hole. The magic circle also dimmed, and the place returned to darkness again. Xingluo closed the magic circle on the wall and hid underground, like a hunter waiting for prey to fall into a trap.

He ignored the creature on the altar, so that when he opened the basement, the blood and roar would temporarily paralyze the other party.

As a great magician attacking a high-level magician, and it was a sneak attack, he was already very cautious. Even so, the following development was beyond Xingluo's expectations. It turned out that the people who held the crystal were not simple. Xingluo attacked by surprise, using the Space Rift Blade and time acceleration, and at the same time slowing down the time for the opponent. In an instant, three magics were released, and the opponent was caught off guard by Xingluo's sudden attack.

But at the critical moment of life and death, the opponent no longer held back, and began to inject the remaining vitality into the crystal, and a terrifying fire magic wave appeared. Magic-level fire magic Yangyan Explosion! It broke out in a small space. The opponent actually wanted to die with him. The senior magician surpassed 2 levels and released the magician-level magic. Xingluo still underestimated the power of the crystal. Xingluo's body protection magic flashed, and the Xingyao robe was damaged. Xingluo mobilized all his magic power to start teleporting, but failed. The space element here has been filled with fire elements and cannot be used. The magic storage necklace broke, and the space magic core embedded in the dragon staff cracked. Finally, Xingluo reluctantly opened the teleportation array, and he did not delay any more. Ignoring the distance in space, he probed into the opponent's body, took away the crystal, and did not stay. The life-saving scroll was activated, and he stepped into the space turbulence and left here.

In a blink of an eye, flames shot up into the sky and the place turned into a sea of ​​fire. The caster was finally devoured by his own magic.

Xingluo was teleported directly back to the mercenary base and walked into the Alfred White Tower. His pounding heart finally stopped. If he had hesitated any longer, he would have been engulfed by the flames. He released protective magic one after another, even at the cost of his equipment being shattered. Finally, after losing an extremely precious life-saving scroll, he barely tore a passage to escape. However, he forcibly cast space magic when space magic was scarce, causing the 15th-level space magic core used in the academy competition to shatter and could no longer be used, which made Xingluo feel very painful.

I didn't expect that a high-level wizard holding a crystal would be so powerful. If the opponent is also a great magician, I guess he can only defeat him by overdrawing his vitality.

Xingluo took out the fire crystal from his arms. He didn't know how to swallow it or absorb it, so he had to start testing it with his magic power. Except for fire magic, the crystal had no reaction. Then Xingluo began to use his mental power to wrap the crystal. Something strange happened. The crystal disappeared instantly and went directly into Xingluo's brain. The two crystals entangled and fused with each other. It seemed that the crystal in Xingluo's body was of high quality, and soon the fire crystal "ate it up".

Quietly suspended in Xingluo's mind, the flashing frequency seemed to be a little faster, and overall it was twice as large, much larger than when Xingluo used it for the first time, "It can actually be swallowed."

Xingluo was still frightened. If the fire crystal had swallowed his crystal, how would he be able to increase his understanding of time and space in the future?

Fortunately, the quality of this crystal is very high, and it is no problem for it to swallow a fire crystal.

Xingluo let out a long breath, and the dissipated crystal power deepened his understanding of time and space magic. Then Xingluo began to look for the ring of the crystal holder. When he took the crystal, he also took the other person's ring away, taking advantage of the opportunity.

"Huh? What kind of badge is this? Why is there a pattern on it that is exactly the same as the crystal in my mind?"

"Could it be that?"

Xingluo put away the badge and then started to look through the magic perception notebook. When he opened it, it was full of his perceptions of fire magic in the past two years. "You can give it to Pandora. She also uses fire magic. I don't know how she is doing recently."

"Fuse with me, and your memories and even emotions will cease to exist. Your insignificant memories will become a drop of water in the long river of my memory."

"Every little detail of my time with Xingluo flashed through my mind one by one." Tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Humans, follow me into immortality. An extremely powerful being will be born in this world. I will lead your family to the top of the continent again, and you will be immortal."

Bewitching words kept flashing through Pandora's mind, but the memory of Xingluo made her unwilling to give up.

"notes?"

"My life is tragic, but as a person favored by God, I don't regret joining the organization. They taught me how to use the power of crystals and made me go from a loser with nothing to a strong man on the continent..."

"The one favored by God?"

Xingluo then looked down, "They are all dead. Those who once looked down on me are now kneeling before me begging for mercy. Those who once humiliated me have become the power to drive the crystal, haha..."

Xingluo frowned slightly. This organization actually possessed such information and could actually use the crystal by relying on other people's lives. If this news were to be made public, the entire continent would probably be in chaos.

The war between those favored by God and those not favored by God will also begin. Few people can resist the temptation of power, and no one is willing to become someone else's food.

So they are called the ones favored by God, Xingluo said self-deprecatingly.

Without Xiao Hei, he would no longer be able to use the power of the crystal. Under the temptation of power or the burning fire of revenge, would he join this organization and become a slave of power?

Relying on other people's lives to satisfy one's own goals, Xing Luo's eyes were firm, and he categorically rejected it: "The reason why human beings are human beings is that they can always stick to the bottom line." They can no longer be called human beings. In order to gain more vitality, they constantly torture each other and make the other party release more life essence for their own use. Can such people still be called human beings?

"It seems there is a new target for destruction, the Organization of God's Favored." Xingluo's eyes were cold as he began to look through the information of this organization. Unfortunately, there were too few records. He only knew that this was an organization that suddenly emerged more than ten years ago. Most of its members were God's Favored. Through various inhumane human experiments, they continued to develop the use of crystal. They called this crystal the Divine Flame Crystal.

"Infuse vitality to gain power beyond your own level"

“You can gain an understanding of the origin of magic.”

"Can devour other people's divine flame crystals to strengthen your own crystals"

"The order of devouring is time, space, light, darkness, undead, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Doesn't it mean that my crystal can devour all crystals? I didn't expect time and space magic to be so rare."

"That's all the information I've got? It seems like this person is in such a low position that he only knows this much."

"I don't know how many gods' favored ones there are on this continent. If there are too many, it will be a problem sooner or later. And creatures like dragons with extremely long lifespans are also very dangerous. What if they extract the vitality of these races in order to gain power..." Xingluo frowned slightly.
