45: Chapter 45 Samadhi True Fire! Fire-type talent evolves beyond its level!

Li Mo thought of a possibility: this strange beast was an ambush from the enemy country!

He had considered that the enemy country might send experts to kill him, but he hadn't expected them to send a beast instead!

And such a strange, incorporeal beast at that!

Fortunately, Li Mo's reaction was extremely fast. The moment the strange beast attacked him, Li Mo flipped his hand and struck out with a bolt of Nine Heavens Profound Thunder.

After this period of training, Li Mo had mastered Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, and streaks of purple lightning instantly blasted toward the strange beast.

However, to Li Mo's disbelief, his Nine Heavens Profound Thunder was actually ineffective against this strange beast!

It wasn't that the power wasn't enough; it was that it had no effect at all!

The Nine Heavens Profound Thunder had actually passed straight through the beast's body and slammed into the ground!

Li Mo was instantly shocked; he hadn't expected this strange beast to possess such an ability.

Fortunately, even if his attacks didn't work, Li Mo had already prepared his evasive maneuvers. His speed was now over 3000, and while the strange beast's movements were fast, they were extremely clumsy. Li Mo dodged to the side, easily evading the strange beast's pounce.

Li Mo then leaped backward several times, putting distance between himself and the strange beast!

"The enemy country was indeed prepared! They must have investigated my background beforehand to send a beast like this!"

Li Mo had once shown off his skills during the recruit trials, displaying his formidable lightning-type abilities.

If the mole in the military knew about this, then the people from the Black Earth Tribe would naturally know as well.

But this kind of beast was just too strange. Never mind Li Mo's lightning-type abilities; even the physical attacks from Zhao Yi and the others were useless because it had no physical form!

How was one supposed to deal with such a beast?

Just as Li Mo was thinking, two more beast roars suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Roar! Roar!"

Suddenly, two new strange beasts appeared.

The three strange beasts surrounded Li Mo in a pincer formation.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi prepared to rush up to save Li Mo, but Li Mo shouted, "Don't come over!"

Zhao Yi and the others would be no match for these beasts and would only suffer more casualties.

At the same time, Li Mo's command of "Don't come over" wasn't just for Zhao Yi; it was also for those protecting him from the shadows.

Since the enemy country had sent such a strange beast, they clearly didn't want to show themselves.

This was both an ambush and a test.

If those protecting Li Mo from the shadows came out, the enemy country's people probably wouldn't appear easily again.

As it stood, Li Mo could still barely handle these few strange beasts; there was no need for the military high-ups to intervene!

"Lightning is useless, but what about fire?"

Li Mo gave a soft exclamation. He didn't just possess lightning-type abilities; he also had a fire-type ability called Nether Cold Fire.

It was just that Li Mo's lightning-type abilities were currently far stronger than his fire-type abilities, so he hadn't used his fire-type ability in a long time.

Since Nine Heavens Profound Thunder was useless, he could only try Nether Cold Fire!

The next moment, deep blue flames covered Li Mo's entire body.

As the three strange beasts pounced toward Li Mo, they were struck by this Nether Cold Fire.

It worked!

Upon coming into contact with the Nether Cold Fire, all three strange beasts felt pain and slowly retreated!

It was a pity, though; this Nether Cold Fire could only make the three beasts feel pain, but it couldn't kill them.

Before long, the Nether Cold Fire even vanished from their bodies.

This shocked Li Mo. These strange beasts' abilities were simply too formidable—physical attacks were useless, they were immune to lightning-type abilities, and even the Nether Cold Fire couldn't burn them to death.

One had to know that even if the Nether Cold Fire wasn't powerful, it had a terrifying effect: burning Qi and Blood!

Theoretically, whether it was a human or a beast, as long as they were hit by the Nether Cold Fire, they would become increasingly weak!

Because both humans and beasts had a Qi and Blood attribute. Once their Qi and Blood were depleted, it was equivalent to their stamina being exhausted, which was no different from death.

But these three strange beasts seemed to have no Qi and Blood attribute at all; after the Nether Cold Fire burned for a while and extinguished, the three beasts were still jumping around energetically.

Seeing this, Li Mo gave a soft exclamation: "It looks like I have no choice but to evolve the Nether Cold Fire!"

The devour points Li Mo had accumulated over these days were actually quite substantial, enough to let him upgrade the Nether Cold Fire directly to S-rank.

The reason Li Mo hadn't upgraded it until now was, on one hand, because he currently needed to use devour points in many places, and he had to use his limited devour points where they mattered most.

On the other hand, and most importantly, it was because of the effect of the Nether Cold Fire!

The Nether Cold Fire's characteristic of burning Qi and Blood was simply too precious; with it, Li Mo could even kill people or beasts above the Martial God level.

However, he couldn't worry about that anymore. The Nether Cold Fire had to be evolved sooner or later; he could only hope it would retain the Qi and Blood burning characteristic.

Thinking of this, Li Mo gritted his teeth and poured all his devour points into the Nether Cold Fire.

...

Meanwhile, the thugs who were watching Li Mo battle the three strange beasts were stunned.

They couldn't believe that the kid they had mocked less than an hour ago could have such combat power!

One had to know that just one of these strange beasts had already had them all running for their lives!

Yet Li Mo was actually able to hold his own against three of them.

"Boss, is this kid really that badass? Has he reached the Blood Transformation Realm?"

"Holy crap! Good thing I didn't provoke him earlier!"

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes at them: "I told you not to look down on others! We can't just keep watching from the sidelines; let's look for a chance to help!"

Just as the three of them were discussing, they suddenly saw the flames around Li Mo change color!

They turned from the original deep blue into an incredibly intense deep red!

A massive wave of heat rushed toward them, and even the thugs, who were hundreds of meters away, felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Holy crap! Boss, why does this hot wind make me feel so flustered?"

"Me too! It feels like my whole body is being roasted by something! It's so uncomfortable!"

Zhao Yi said in surprise: "This isn't right! His flames were very gentle just a moment ago! What kind of Fire Talent does this guy have? Can he even change his abilities?"

He naturally didn't know that Li Mo had directly changed his Fire Talent!

It had to be said that Li Mo's luck was extremely good.

The original Deep Blue Cold Fire, after undergoing a two-level evolution, had now become Samadhi True Fire!

This was an invincible fire capable of directly burning the origin of life!

Not only did it not lose the function of burning Qi and Blood, but it even enhanced its effect!

Even more terrifyingly, because Samadhi True Fire could directly burn the origin of life, it meant that creatures covered within the range of the flames would also be affected and have their life cultivation—that is, their base attributes—lowered!

In addition to these two powerful effects, Samadhi True Fire was also one of the most violent flames in the world, capable of incinerating all things in heaven and earth!
