Capítulo 209: Chapter 210: The Light of Chaos!
The towering figure of the flame giant stood directly in the sea of lava below. Its colossal size was enough to make anyone tremble upon first sight. With just one punch, even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) would likely be obliterated.
Jing Lian Yao Huo (Pure Lotus Demon Flame) stood atop his Flame God Statue, looking down at the tiny figures of Jiang Yun and Qing Lin with a sinister smile.
In the next instant, the Flame God Statue raised its massive fist, which was as large as a mountain, and punched towards Jiang Yun and Qing Lin. As the punch struck out, a massive vortex appeared on the lava sea below, spinning furiously.
Facing this destructive force, Qing Lin's small face was filled with seriousness, ready to assist Jiang Yun at any moment.
Jiang Yun, however, chuckled lightly, gazing at the descending colossal fist. His hand seals changed, and he pointed at the sky.
"Buzz--"
In an instant, the ancient formation of Refining Heaven began to operate swiftly. From within the formation, a milky-white lava pillar shot out with a thunderous momentum, striking the lava giant's fist and shattering it instantly with terrifying power.
"Roar!"
Angered by the thwarted attack, Jing Lian Yao Huo roared. In the next moment, he propelled himself into the sky, unleashing blazing milky-white flames from within. These flames spread rapidly, encompassing the surrounding area like a fiery prison aimed at the grand formation.
Four massive milky-white fire screens descended from the sky.
"Demon Flame Refining the Heavens!"
"Jing Lian Yao Huo, you should know better than anyone the power of this ancient formation!" Jiang Yun smiled lightly as he saw the flames falling from the sky. With a change of hand seals, the grand formation began to rotate slowly like a millstone.
As the two formations turned, energy in the surroundings became extremely violent. The milky-white flames that could incinerate Dou Sheng were quickly broken down into pure energy as they came into contact with the formations.
"Refine!!!" Jiang Yun smiled as he saw Jing Lian Yao Huo's panicked expression. The formation spun, causing the entire space to tremble. A milky-white light ring rapidly spread from the edge of the formation to the center, converging into a white pillar of light.
As Jiang Yun pointed down, the Heaven Formation and Earth Formation trembled. The two milky-white pillars of light accurately struck Jing Lian Yao Huo amidst his frightened gaze.
"Ah…" Jing Lian Yao Huo screamed in agony. Enduring the internal injuries, he stared maliciously at Jiang Yun. With a thought, several figures with strong auras appeared from the void, surrounding him.
Among them, a thin figure wielding a massive blood-red axe exuded an overwhelming aura akin to Mount Tai. It was none other than Xiao Chen, an ancestor of the Xiao family!
Jiang Yun had already forced Jing Lian Yao Huo into a dire situation, yet he still hoped to rely on a few Dou Sheng puppets.
For those puppets lacking combat abilities, Jiang Yun waved his hand. Flames covered the area, and in an instant, the puppets' fate was unknown amidst the burning fire.
"I incinerated the Nether Yin Fire Saint; do you, a mere brat who inherited his mantle by luck, think you can refine me?"
"Dream on."
Enraged by the loss of his puppets, Jing Lian Yao Huo's madness grew. After thousands of years of sealing, his frenzy reached a peak, especially when his hard-earned freedom was threatened.
"Boom--"
Inside the ancient formation of Refining Heaven, Jing Lian Yao Huo's true form exploded. The milky-white flames expanded, gradually revealing a touch of pink at the center, slowly forming an eerie crimson fire lotus.
In the vast space, the overwhelming heat filled every corner.
Such terrifying heat would be unbearable for even a four-star or five-star Dou Sheng. The temperature had reached a level where even battle energy could ignite.
However, despite such intense heat, Jing Lian Yao Huo despairingly found it impossible to break through the formation's confinement.
Seeing this, Jing Lian Yao Huo's eyes turned blood-red, "Damn it, I will fight you to the death!"
As the master of Refining Heaven Formation for thousands of years, he knew its power well. Despite Jiang Yun not being the original master, his familiarity with the formation was frightening.
Fear gripped Jing Lian Yao Huo's heart, recalling the torment he endured from the sealing. He had grown tired of such a life.
At the formation's core, a crimson fire lotus spun slowly, its petals shifting between deep red and white.
The rotating fire lotus eventually settled into a white hue, with red veins resembling human blood vessels glowing intermittently, giving the beautiful lotus an eerie and sinister appearance.
"Revealed your true form, haven't you?" Jiang Yun looked at the eerie fire lotus and laughed. "Your brutality is not what the predecessor had in mind. Today, I will restore your true nature."
"Spare me the sanctimonious words; my growth is my own matter. You are not the predecessor, so drop the pretense!" Jing Lian Yao Huo roared from within the glowing fire lotus.
"The predecessor has long vanished. If you miss him so much, I will send you to him!" Jiang Yun's words made Jing Lian Yao Huo almost spit blood.
"Scoundrel."
Jing Lian Yao Huo glared at Jiang Yun with hatred. The fire lotus spun rapidly, releasing dreadful blood-red flames, causing the space confined by the formation to distort violently.
"Separation!!!"
Jiang Yun waved his hand, and the massive formation began to collapse from the outer edges inward. The collapsing force gathered into a fire screen, projecting countless fire lines forming a web that imprinted deeply into the fire lotus, slowly lifting it. Blood-red mist was forced out of the lotus.
"Ah!"
"The energy accumulated by the ancient formation over thousands of years is too potent, even an eight-star Dou Sheng would struggle. Stop resisting."
Jiang Yun controlled the fire lines, gradually expelling the blood-red mist representing Jing Lian Yao Huo's memories and consciousness from its core.
Feeling the increasing emptiness in his mind, Jing Lian Yao Huo became terrified and roared, "I am a divine entity of heaven and earth, protected by the heavens. Harm me, and you will face divine retribution."
Ignoring the threat, Jiang Yun changed his hand seals. The fire lines in the fire screen pierced through the core of the fire lotus.
"Ah!"
Blood mist poured from the fire lotus, forming a blood-red figure above - Jing Lian Yao Huo's human form.
Upon being expelled from his core, Jing Lian Yao Huo tried to dive back in, but a dark abyssal maw opened mid-air, swallowing him whole.
Putting away the devouring black flame, Jiang Yun gazed across the boundless lava sea, spotting a white lotus with pink veins. It floated slowly, drawing energy from the sea.
"The essence of demon flames." Qing Lin, finally relieved, beamed at Jiang Yun.
"Pure Lotus Demon Flame!" Jiang Yun stared at the pink lotus, sensing a unique connection unlike any previous essence he absorbed. It felt inherent to the world, more natural, unlike past foreign essences.
"Am I overthinking?" After a brief silence, Jiang Yun dismissed his thoughts and gently said to Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, I need to refine Jing Lian Yao Huo. It won't take long."
"Brother Jiang Yun, I'll be here," Qing Lin nodded obediently, her adoring eyes on Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun approached the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. The lotus petals were unfolded, with a baby-like pink flame at its core.
A terrifying heat emanated from the pink flame. This flame was the true demon flame essence.
Jiang Yun's palm, enveloped in a black flame, reached inside the flame. The black flame repelled the heat. Sensing danger, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame trembled, attempting to flee.
But Jiang Yun acted swiftly, grabbing the pink essence. A wave of powerful heat surged through him, aiming to incinerate him, but the black flame shielded him.
Unfazed, Jiang Yun delivered the pink flame into his mouth and swallowed it!
"Boom!"
Upon ingesting the essence, pink flames erupted on his skin, inflicting indescribable pain.
"Devour, refine!"
With an unchanged expression, Jiang Yun commanded his black flame to engulf the essence, gradually consuming it.
"Rumble!"
Struggling against the black flame's refining, the essence fought back, intensifying the heat, scorching Jiang Yun's internal organs, making him appear translucent. Qing Lin watched anxiously.
"Reverse Yin and Yang!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yun's eyes opened. With a swift hand seal, the ancient formation reappeared, now in black and white, like a colossal millstone.
Boundless energy gathered, Jiang Yun's body absorbing it like a black hole.
The centuries-old energy of the ancient formation now benefited Jiang Yun.
His meridians, flesh, muscles, bones, and cells devoured the vast energy uncontrollably.
Energy solidified on his skin, forming a crystal-like egg, encasing him within.
Seeing Jiang Yun's soaring aura, Qing Lin sighed in relief, her green eyes dimming. Three tiny green flowers in her eyes retracted.
At this moment, Jiang Yun felt his consciousness sinking into darkness. Gray sky, gray earth, only a faint glow beneath his feet.
The world was lifeless, arousing a sense of solitude.
Jiang Yun frowned at the desolation. In the distance, a pink glow appeared, revealing a white lotus with pink veins.
Approaching, he felt a purifying force around it, shaking him to the core.
Flashes of images filled Jiang Yun's mind, as if witnessing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's creation from ancient times.
Simultaneously, in an unknown realm of the Dou Qi Continent, within the chaotic sea, a thousand-zhang chaos light sphere trembled slightly. (End of chapter)
