<h4>Chapter 1040 - mes Of His Life!</h4>


    There was a great resolve in Elder Pigu''s eyes as a newfound power filled him.


    The deep blue mes on his hand were letting off a scorching heat. Even the Dao Shell realm cultivators of the Gu Legion that were standing some distance away could feel it. The grass on the ground had already dried up andbusted simply from the residual heat.


    And it didn''t stop there as the ground surrounding Elder Pigu started to get scorched ck as well. This was when the me wasn''t even touching anything. It was on an entirely different level and was surprising to the Gu legion members.


    "Careful!" A Gu Legion cultivator warned hispanion.


    <i>~WHOOSH~</i>


    Flicking his index finger towards the Gu Legion member, Elder Pigu sent forth a small me. It was very small, being only the size of a candle me, and yet… the speed and heat it carried with it was devastating.


    <i>~BOOM~</i>


    The small candle like me stuck the Gu Legion member before he could escape and exploded. It instantly covered his entire body and ate through all the defenses.


    "AHHHHHHHH! GET IT OFF ME!!! NOO!!!!!" The Gu Legion member cried out in pain as all his defensive skills were unless against it.


    His robes were reduced to ashes, and soon his skin started to melt. Within five seconds, a Dao Shell realm cultivator was reduced to a pile of ashes.


    The other Gu Legion members couldn''t help but feel a chill going down their backs, despite the intense heat in the area. Some of them tried to step back, but Elder Pigu instantly locked onto them.


    <i>~SHUA~</i>


    He flicked his middle finger towards them, and the me that was burning on it shot towards another Gu Legion member.


    "RUN!!!"


    "Don''t let it touch you!!!"


    They all shouted, but the me was still very fast. Despite their great speed at the Dao Shell realm, they were like turtles in front of the me that moved like a cheetah.


    The second me struck a Gu Legion member and the same scene as before repeated. This man was able to survive for slightly longer,sting for ten seconds, but in the end he still burned to ashes.


    Elder Pigu''s fellow elders looked at him and were stunned. The fierceness with which he had attacked the Gu Legion members was entirely different.


    Usually, they were used to the jovial and happy Elder Pigu. He was a portly man that was also the head of their pill and herb pavilion. But today, he was different. He was a deadly warrior who could reduce his enemies to ashes with a flick of a finger.


    But if one observed him closely, they would realize that what he was doing came at a great price. There was already a slight decrease in his aura with just two attacks. Additionally, when he had first ignited the deep blue mes on his hands.


    There were ten such wisps of mes there, one on each finger. But now that he had used two, those fingers were gone as well.


    That''s right! Elder Pigu''s fingers hadbusted and reduced to ashes too!


    And yet, there was no sign of pain or regret on his face. All there was present on his face was determination… determination to win and save his sect!


    "SUMMON YOUR DAO SHELLS!" One of the Gu Legion members shouted.


    "DO IT! WE CAN''T HOLD BACK ANYMORE!" He yelled again, seeing that his fellow members were hesitant.


    "DAMN THIS!" They cursed and gestured with their hands.


    There were six of them left, and they were in great danger now. The two weakest members among them were killed quickly, but they were also at the Shell initiation stage of the Dao Shell realm, thus didn''t have Dao Shell''s to use as trump cardster.


    <i>~HONG~</i>


    Strong spirit Qi fluctuations came from all six of them as illusory spheres came out of their bodies. Two of these spheres were fully solid, two were about 90%plete, while thest two were only halfplete.


    "HUMPH! You think just your Dao Shell''s can save you from my mes! THESE ARE THE FLAMES OF MY LIFE! THEY SHALL BURN EVEN THE DEFENSES OF A DAO TREADING REALM EXPERT!" Elder Pigu scoffed.


    <i>~shua~ shua~</i>


    He directly used both his hands and flicked out four wisps of mes. They came from his pinkie fingers and ring fingers of both hands.


    <i>~HISS~</i>


    The very air itself hissed as the moisture started to heat up. The water from the nearby trees was also boiled out, turning into steam. But this steam was continually heated and reached a great temperature.


    The heat from the four wisps of the deep blue mes made the steam travel along with it like a missile towards the Dao Shell Realm cultivators of the Gu Legion.


    "Steam Burst Grinder!" Elder Pigu chanted.


    It was now evident that this wasn''t just a casual attack, but rather a proper skill!


    In fact, it was a skill that wasn''t originally meant for battles at all. Rather, it was a pill refinement skill used to extract water from spirit herbs and rapidly use the pressure to pulverize the same herbs.


    This was supposed to be used in the confines of a pill refinement hall with proper safety formation arrays. Even the cauldron used for refinement needed to be very strong, and only the best Pill alchemists could even use this technique.

    And yet Elder Pigu managed to convert it into an actual battle skill!


    "BLOCK IT!" The Gu Legion members shouted.


    <i>~Rumble~</i>


    The strongest two brought forward theirpleted Dao Shells and bore the full brunt of the attack. The ones weaker than them, backed by thepleted Dao Shell''s making sure they weren''t pushed back too much.


    Then thest two did the same and suppressed the secondary damage from the wave of steam that was surging at them from all sides.


    "HAAA!!!!!" The Gu Legion members struggled to bear the force.


    <i>~KACHA~</i>


    But in the end… they were unable to withstand it anymore.
