Chapter 257 Changes
"Xiaohuo, this time it's up to you!"

Standing in the sword-making pool, next to the flowing magma, Zhang Chu gently stroked the Fire Kirin's head with his hand.

That’s right, Zhang Chu really can’t jump into the lava, but he still has the Fire Qilin in his hand!

What kind of mythical beast is a unicorn covered in flames if it can't jump into the lava to take a bath?

"roar~"

The Fire Kirin seemed to understand Zhang Chu's expectations and roared softly in response.

"Go~"

Zhang Chu waved towards the sword-making pool in front of him.

"Puff~"

The Fire Qilin jumped directly in and landed in the magma, actually seeming to be enjoying it quite a bit.

After swimming around in the magma for several circles, the Fire Kirin's figure had disappeared from Zhang Chu's sight, and it dived under the magma.

And Zhang Chu had no intention of using his spiritual sense to observe. Instead, he stood silently beside the sword-making pool, preparing quietly.

When the Fire Phoenix appears, it must be subdued immediately.

With the Fire Phoenix, Zhang Chu now has another divine beast in his hands.

In the future, if he could extract the phoenix blood from Emperor Shitian's body, he could let the Fire Phoenix eat it.

Maybe, Huo Feng can become Zhang Chu's number one fighter.

Of course, all this can only be done after Zhang Chu captures and suppresses the Fire Phoenix alive and finds a way to completely control the Fire Phoenix.

Otherwise, if the Fire Phoenix's power increases and backfires on him, then everything will be ruined.

Zhang Chu stood beside the sword-making pool, staring at the flowing magma.

In a blink of an eye, an incense stick of time had passed.

The magma, which had been relatively calm, suddenly began to boil, as if something had happened inside the magma.

In this case, the boiling magma, with amazing heat, splashed in all directions.

It fell on a rock nearby, and in an instant, the rock was burned red.

And what about Zhang Chu?

He just stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding.

When the magma splashed in front of him, the magic power in Zhang Chu's dantian started to operate on its own, forming a protective shield to block the burning eyes outside.

As the magma continued to boil and overflow, a figure wrapped in flames appeared in Zhang Chu's eyes.

It was the Fire Qilin that had entered the magma before.

At this moment, the Fire Qilin jumped out of the magma like a wronged pet and landed beside Zhang Chu.

Before he could check on the Fire Kirin, a flaming firebird flew out directly from the lava pool and attacked Zhang Chu who was standing next to the sword-casting pool.

Obviously, the Fire Phoenix was quite angry at this moment.

Originally, it was hibernating, but suddenly a creature came, disturbed its hibernation, and even dared to attack it.

How could it not be angry?
Driven by anger, the Fire Phoenix's flaming eyes were filled with the desire for destruction.

Therefore, the moment it saw Zhang Chu, it wanted to destroy Zhang Chu directly.

The fire phoenix, burning with blazing flames, had not yet pounced on Zhang Chu, but Zhang Chu could already feel the astonishing heat.

Even with the magic power protecting him, he could still feel that his hair was slightly bent under the high temperature.

"Whoo~"

As the fire phoenix's beak opened and closed, a blazing white flame rushed towards Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu moved and avoided the blazing white flames.

The flames fell on the ground, and the hard rock immediately turned into flowing magma under the flames.

This shows how terrifying the flames spewed out of the fire phoenix's mouth are.

Feeling this extremely terrifying flame, Zhang Chu dodged it and thunder immediately gathered on his hands.

"Boom~"

The pitch-black thunder struck directly towards the Fire Phoenix, blocking its attack.

At the same time, four silver figures appeared behind the Fire Phoenix. They were the four silver-armored corpses in Zhang Chu's Corpse King Banner.

To deal with the Fire Phoenix, Zhang Chu had no intention of using the Bronze Armored Corpse at all.

He knew in his heart that the Bronze-Armored Corpse was no more than cannon fodder in front of the Fire Phoenix.

Zhang Chu is not yet so extravagant as to use the bronze-armored corpse as cannon fodder against the enemy!

The pitch-black thunder continued to attack the Fire Phoenix, and the four silver-armored corpses also rushed towards the Fire Phoenix.

Amid the flashing thunder, the movement of the silver-armored corpse was quite strange.

It is true that you can walk among the thunder, but the thunder will not touch you.

Of course, all this depends on Zhang Chu's control over thunder.

Otherwise, just by sensing the strong corpse aura from the Silver-Armored Corpse, Lei Ting would probably have given up on the Fire Phoenix and turned to attack the Silver-Armored Corpse.

Surrounded by four silver-armored corpses, Fire Phoenix, no matter how powerful it was, was in danger.

There are silver-armored corpses attacking nearby and thunder restraining from afar.

The Corpse King Banner held in Zhang Chu's hand also emitted an extremely cold corpse aura.

The magma that was still flowing gradually solidified under the cover of corpse gas.

This move cut off the Fire Phoenix's geographical advantage.

The Fire Phoenix will definitely be able to exert even more powerful strength in an environment filled with magma.

Four silver-armored corpses attacked from all sides. There were no spells and all attacks were physical.

Each blow was as heavy as a thousand pounds, landing on the Fire Phoenix and causing its feathers to fly.

"Wow~"

Along with an extremely loud phoenix cry, the flames on the fire phoenix became more intense, and even lines appeared in the air.

Zhang Chu, who was standing far away, saw this scene and was overjoyed: Huo Feng's move must be her last struggle.

Defeat it and you can suppress it.

"Boom~"

Dozens of thunders were released from Zhang Chu's hands and struck the Fire Phoenix that was trying to escape from the attack of the Silver-Armored Corpse.

Under the thunder, even if the Fire Phoenix had stimulated its own potential and its strength had greatly improved, it was still difficult to escape the siege of the Silver-Armored Corpse.

"Duh~"

As the Fire Phoenix's aura faded, the Corpse King Banner in Zhang Chu's hand shook, and dozens of chains formed by corpse energy directly wrapped around its body.

At this moment, Fire Phoenix also felt the crisis, and it was useless to activate its own fire skills. Under the cold corpse qi, the flames on Fire Phoenix were also suppressed.

With a mournful cry, the fire phoenix fell to the ground and could no longer spread its wings and fly high.

The four silver-armored corpses pounced directly on it and completely controlled it.

At this moment, Zhang Chu had no intention of moving forward, but continued to shake the Corpse King Banner.

Dozens of chains transformed from corpse qi wrapped around the body of the Fire Phoenix. The huge spiritual consciousness directly covered the Fire Phoenix. When it was sure that it had no ability to resist at all, Zhang Chu moved and appeared in front of the Fire Phoenix that was surrounded by corpse qi.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the Fire Phoenix was directly taken into the Yue Shi Mirror by Zhang Chu and suppressed.

At this moment, the Yue Shi Mirror had already suppressed Emperor Shitian and Xiao Sanxiao, two people who had swallowed the essence and blood of the Divine Phoenix and the Dragon Turtle. Now, there was another Fire Phoenix.

After taking another turn in the Sword Forging City, Zhang Chu suddenly disappeared from this world.

As for martial arts secrets, resources and the like, Guan Yutian and Jian Zun helped him collect them, so he didn't have to do it himself at all.

As for those two people hiding something? Zhang Chu didn't care at all!

The upper limit of this world is there. So what if you secretly hide some martial arts secrets?
With Zhang Chu's departure, the black fog covering the Sword Forging City also completely dissipated.

Jian Zun and Guan Yutian, who had been placing spies here, also received the report at the first time.

After they looked at each other, they headed straight towards the Sword Forging City.

Before he even got close to the Sword-Forging City, Guan Yutian felt something was wrong: he could no longer feel the scorching heat.

You know, the Sword-Forging City is built on the crater.

The Sword Master standing by also changed his expression, moved his body, and rushed towards the sword-casting pool.

By the time he arrived at the sword-forging pool, his face was filled with disbelief.

The magma in the sword-forging pool has completely solidified. There is no longer any heat to be felt, only coldness.

"This"

Guan Yutian also arrived at the sword-making pool. Looking at the situation in front of him, his face was full of surprise.

The Sword Master sat cross-legged and sensed silently.

The Fire Phoenix has lived in Sword Forging City for hundreds of years, and Sword Forging City has long had a set of secret methods on how to sense the Fire Phoenix.

However, no matter how he activated the secret method of sensing the Fire Phoenix, he could not sense the existence of the Fire Phoenix at all. It seemed that the Fire Phoenix had disappeared.

Thinking of what Zhang Chu said at that time, that he wanted to tame the Fire Phoenix, could it be that the Taoist really tamed the Fire Phoenix and took it away?
For a moment, Sword Master also felt a little lost.

The Sword-Forging City was built on a geographical advantage that the Fire Phoenix had long occupied. Now that the Fire Phoenix has disappeared, the Sword-Forging City is truly in name only.

However, thinking of the skills given by Zhang Chu, Sword Master calmed down again.

As long as he is strong enough, it may not be impossible for him to choose a new location and build a new sword-forging city.

Sword Master stood up, glanced at Guan Yutian beside him, and without any intention of talking to him, he walked straight out of the Sword Forging City.

Guan Yutian also chased after him, "Brother Jian, what's going on?"

"I don't know!"

"Where is the Taoist priest?"

"I don't know!"

At this moment, the Sword Master really knew nothing about anything.

He also wanted to meet Zhang Chu, but isn't that possible?

Looking at Sword Master's appearance, Guan Yutian did not continue to provoke him. The two of them would still have official business to do in the future!
What's more, with the help of Sword Forging City, the tasks assigned by the Taoist priest can be completed faster.

The faster you complete the tasks assigned by the Taoist priest, the faster you can obtain the subsequent skills of Changsheng Martial Arts.

At this moment, Zhang Chu has returned to the biochemical world and started to practice in seclusion.

At the very least, one must cultivate one's essence, energy and spirit to the point where the three are balanced, and only after one has condensed the Samadhi True Fire can one come out of seclusion!
Under Zhang Chu's command, the factory at the base of the biochemical world has been fully operational.

Qi and blood potions are also being produced continuously to supply Zhang Chu's practice.

Before Zhang Chu went into seclusion, he took out some of the Fire Phoenix's blood and gave it to Queen Bai, asking her to continue researching and develop a more powerful blood and qi potion.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Zhang Chu was practicing hard in the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array.

Tubes of Qi and blood potions were constantly being refined by him, and his Qi and blood power was also slowly and steadily increasing.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

With countless blood and qi potions, Zhang Chu's blood and qi power has increased by nearly two or three times.

However, compared with magic power and spiritual consciousness, the power of qi and blood is still relatively weak.

If the three elements of essence, energy and spirit cannot be balanced, it will be impossible for Zhang Chu to condense the Samadhi True Fire. Without the Samadhi True Fire, he will not be able to refine any magic weapon.

Of course, he can also imitate the way the Sword Forging City forges swords and refine magic weapons.

However, with that method, the probability of producing waste is really too high.

After all, temperature is not so easy to control.

Unless, Zhang Chu practiced the magic of controlling fire and even temperature.

However, among the basics of refining weapons he had obtained, there was no special formula for controlling fire. He could only improve his Qi and blood first, balance his essence, energy and spirit, condense the Samadhi True Fire, and then refine the magic weapon.

At this moment, he had no choice but to come out of seclusion. The type three blood and qi potion had no effect on him anymore.

No matter how much he takes it, other than being able to restore his energy and blood, it is impossible to have any other improvement.

As for practicing on his own and strengthening his qi and blood by absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth, it was still too slow for Zhang Chu.

Think about it, how long did it take for him, a dying man, to become a cultivator in the Golden Core realm?

Zhang Chu was also very clear in his mind that he was indeed a little eager for quick success, but who would be willing to improve slowly step by step when one can improve strength quickly?

Controlling the Corpse King Banner, floating above the sky of the biochemical world, he looked down.

Through his spiritual perception, he could feel that the biochemical world had undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment.

The biochemical world is no longer the so-called technological world, but has become a world full of monsters and zombies.

As Zhang Chu continued to fill in the gaps, the humans in the biochemical world spread their skills.

Under the pressure of life and death crisis, they have gotten rid of their weakness and turned into martial arts masters.

And those shelters are similar to martial arts sects.

In powerful shelters, there are already masters who can refine the essence and blood of exotic beasts. In weaker shelters, there are also masters who have mastered the 2.0 version of Changsheng Martial Arts.

Otherwise, it would have been destroyed in the tide of zombies long ago.

As Zhang Chu's perception continued to spread, the dragon vein located in Zhang Chu's dantian actually began to tremble.

The inexplicable fluctuations spread directly to the biochemical world.

Perhaps in just a moment, the fluctuation had already exceeded the sensing range of Zhang Chu's spiritual consciousness and encompassed the entire biochemical world.

Zhang Chu was just floating in the sky blankly, with no intention of stopping it. Instead, he was looking forward to the changes in the dragon vein!
