Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"Lord Shura!"

"master!

Seeing Lan Tian suddenly collapse and be supported by Gui Zhong, Luo Xue and Marcius, who were brewing medicine behind the makeshift stove, immediately changed their expressions.

After quickly having several unharmed Asura Knights nearby take over their work, the two hurriedly crossed the stove and ran to Lan Tian's side. Together with Gui Zhong, they helped the weak Lan Tian to a boulder next to the makeshift stove, where he slowly sat down with his back against the boulder.

Although the three couldn't see Lan Tian's face through the fiery red Flame Dragon Demon Mask, they estimated it must be very pale.

And this is indeed the case.

After leaning against the boulder for three minutes to catch his breath, Lan Tian finally managed to raise his left hand and slowly remove the Flame Dragon Ghost Mask from his face, revealing his fiery red short hair and flaming eyes.

However, this also further highlighted how pale Lan Tian's face was. Strangely enough, Gui Zhong and the other two could feel that Lan Tian's aura was recovering rapidly at a visible speed. After more than ten minutes, Lan Tian's condition had recovered.

The three of them looked at Lantian, who was now able to stand up and move around as if nothing had happened, their faces full of surprise.

Not only the three of them, but also the many Shura Knights who were recuperating by the makeshift stove looked at the blue sky with surprise.

When will the Demon God be able to recover quickly from exhaustion?

With this thought in mind, Gui Zhong couldn't help but reach out and pat Lan Tian's heavy right shoulder armor, asking:

"Blue Sky, what happened to you just now? Weren't you exhausted? How did you recover so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue and Maxius, who were standing to the side, along with the many Shura Knights beside them, nodded in agreement with Lan Tian, ​​their faces full of curiosity and inquiry.

Seeing everyone looking at him with questioning eyes, Lan Tian smiled gently and explained:

"What just happened was that after I unleashed the Roar of the Fiery Dragon at full power, I was bound to be briefly exhausted."

As he spoke, the Flaming Dragon Battle Axe appeared in Lan Tian's right hand. He easily twirled the heavy battle axe, which was almost as tall as himself, in the air before placing it steadily on the ground with the blade facing down. Then he said:

"As for why I was bound to be exhausted... it's because I had to charge up before unleashing the Roar of the Fiery Dragon. And while charging up, besides temporarily gathering all the flames in my body, along with this Fiery Dragon Battle Axe, into my right fist, I also had to burn 99% of my strength and life force to perfectly unleash that ultimate attack. And that means..."

Although Lan Tian didn't finish his sentence, everyone instantly guessed what he was thinking, and Luo Xue, looking as if she had just realized something, unconsciously continued along with Lan Tian's words:

"So, Lord Shura, you fell into a state of temporary exhaustion because you almost exhausted all your strength and life force in a short period of time?"

"That's right, you guessed my thoughts so quickly. You truly are my personal bodyguard."

As he said this, Lan Tian chuckled and reached out to pat Luo Xue's head, causing Luo Xue to give a shy and beautiful smile.

However, apart from the demon gods Lantian, Guizhong, and Maxius, no one else could see it because of the Yaksha mask on their faces.

Upon hearing this, everyone unconsciously smiled. But at that moment, Maxius, who hadn't said much, spoke up incisively.

"But Master, won't exhausting your strength and life force in such a short time cause great damage to your body?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately suppressed their smiles and looked at Lan Tian with some nervousness, anticipating his response.

Lan Tian smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the still-burning giant crater he had created, and said:

"Before this, didn't you notice that the temperature of the surrounding air and the large amount of fire elemental power that I just unleashed in the air had decreased significantly in a short period of time?"

what?

Gui Zhong and the others were taken aback upon hearing this, but Gui Zhong and Maxius immediately extended their divine senses to carefully perceive the situation and found that it was indeed as Lan Tian had said.

Shortly after the nuclear explosion, the temperature in the surrounding area within a few kilometers rose by several degrees, and the entire sky was tinged red by the excessive amount of fire elements in the air, resembling a fiery inferno.

Now, the sky has recovered considerably.

Of course, the mushroom cloud that was faintly visible high in the sky was an exception.

Although the crowd was somewhat surprised, they were still a little confused by Lan Tian's words.

Seeing everyone looking at him with puzzled expressions, Lan Tian smiled gently and explained:

"The free fire elemental energy in the surrounding air all dissipated from my body. Strictly speaking, this is a part of my power. My Fiery Dragon Roar requires burning 99% of my strength and life force, so there is a trace of my life force in these fire elemental energies. This means that... when I am exhausted, my body, no, this Fiery Dragon Armor I wear, will reabsorb the fire elemental energy in the surrounding air that contains part of my life force, allowing my body to return to its peak state in a short time..."

As he spoke, Lan Tian looked up at the faint outline of the enormous mushroom cloud high in the sky. Everyone followed his gaze and looked up at the sky. At that moment, Lan Tian's powerful words rang in their ears:

I call it—a phoenix rising from the ashes!

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention back to Lan Tian, ​​waiting for him to continue.

"The fire of Nirvana is born from death! Each rebirth temporarily enhances my physical abilities and strength. Without the courage and determination to face the threat of death, how can one speak of Nirvana?"

As he said this, Lan Tian put on the Flame Dragon Ghost Mask again, and his whole body was once again engulfed in crimson flames. However, none of the people present felt any discomfort, nor did they feel the intense heat.

Luo Xue, standing behind Lan Tian, ​​couldn't help but reach out and touch the Flame Dragon Armor on Lan Tian's body. She found that the flames did not ignite her right hand, but instead gave her a warm feeling, just like when she was warming herself by a fire on a cold snowy night.

"My temperature only works on my enemies!"

Lan Tian naturally noticed Luo Xue's subtle movements behind him, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he walked towards the mountainside while passionately proclaiming:

"Anyone who dares to invade my Guixiuli will—I will take my own life as a shield, burn myself to the last drop, and fight to the death! I will annihilate all the invading enemies!"

Having said that, Lan Tian suddenly flicked the fiery red cloak behind him, which was also burning with flames, and turned to look at everyone. Even through the majestic and domineering Flame Dragon Ghost Mask, everyone could guess Lan Tian's expression at this moment.

Influenced by Lan Tian's words, Lan Tian, ​​who had turned to face them and was engulfed in flames, now appeared to everyone as a molten war god who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies on the battlefield, exuding an aura of majesty, dominance, and awe-inspiring power.

Seemingly inspired by Lan Tian's words, one of the Asura Knights, unable to contain the fervor stirred within him by Lan Tian's words, raised his Asura Spear high in his right hand and shouted:

"Burn everything, fight to the death!"

"Burn everything, fight to the death!"

"Burn everything, fight to the death!"

……

With someone taking the lead, more and more Asura Knights followed suit, raising their weapons and shouting. The shouts grew louder and louder. Even Luo Xue and Maxius were caught up in the atmosphere and felt their blood boil.
