Chapter Forty-Four: Flame

  Ji Tian sat on the back of the magic dragon, gazing out at the hazy world, unable to calm his heart for a long time.

  This world is cruel, there's no right or wrong. If you don't want to become someone else's prey, you have to kill off everyone who raises their knife against you.

  This is the world, this is survival.

  In the eyes of the demon dragon, there was an irrepressible fervor. He was originally a preeminent being in the Primordial World, living in the middle to upper echelons of society. Although he had not reached the pinnacle before his unexpected death, he fell into this strange world.

  But also relying on his own strong soul, he quickly joined the ranks of the strong and became one of the Skull Emperors. However, at that time, he was not satisfied and went to explore the Skull Demon Temple.

  Although he was seriously injured by a loud shout, he has no regrets. He fought hard and struggled through.

  Even if it's death, one must prove that they existed, this is a continuation of life, a conviction that makes the world lose its color.

  Although everything has changed because of that puppet life, now it's back on track.

  The demon dragon looked at the busy skulls and ghostly bodies on the black earth, feeling a sense of nostalgia, for it had also once been busy struggling to survive, constantly killing.

  The current goal is to find the strong in this world. Whether there are other skull-level existences in the Yuan Shen period in this world has not been determined, but generally, Golden Flame-level existences have a desire to occupy treasure lands, and they may have soul stones. Snatching soul stones is also for survival, for better survival.

  Black is the dominant hue, with floating black gas. The golden flames within are indeed so conspicuous.

  "Ah"

  A mighty roar, the demon dragon slapped a royal skull into powder with one palm, and swallowed a golden soul flame into its mouth.

  "No blood pool." Ji Tian shook his head in disappointment.

  This is a volcanic land, a continuous volcanic land, with thick black smoke shrouding the world that was already dark and devoid of sunlight.

  "There is a phoenix's aura, but it's actually a fire phoenix."

  Ji Tian Dao said: "I'll go down and take a look, to see if this earth fire has any unusual places." With one punch, the entire land cracked open, and endless magma burst forth.

  A loud and clear phoenix cry pierced through, the phoenix hiding in the volcano sensed a strong enemy had arrived.

  The phoenix, always engulfed in flames, illuminated the entire dark world with a reddish hue.

  "Who are you and why have you disturbed my place of cultivation."

  "No particular reason, just thought this place was okay, so I came to take a look." The demon dragon said disdainfully. What surprised him was that there was an undead who had cultivated himself to the Yuan Shen realm. This body of raging flames seemed to be able to smelt everything.

  Ji Tian didn't take his opponent seriously from the start and walked towards the underground cave with his entire divine soul.

  Warmth, a warm feeling, is this fire?

  Huǒ Fèng was furious, a huge fireball rushed towards Jiān Tiān.

  A scorching heat with a chilling pain.

  The demon dragon was enraged at first sight, and with a roll of its body, it charged towards its opponent with a cloud of magic.

  Dragons and phoenixes are both powerful beings in the vast expanse of the continent, each with a proud heart.

  The demon dragon has a dark aura surrounded by demonic clouds, while the fire phoenix has flames of fierce fire, and the two are also attribute opposites.

  The flames that filled the sky converged and condensed into a longbow in mid-air, with each vibration of the bowstring accompanied by the appearance of fireballs.

  A dark magic gun formed from a gathering of demonic clouds, facing the howling fireballs that came crashing down. With a flick or a block, it smashed each and every one of them to smithereens. Seizing the momentum, it charged towards the Fire Phoenix. The magic gun was like a viper's fang, ruthless and venomous, with each strike being fatal.

  Huofeng didn't show any weakness either, with flames on his body that flickered or went out, each move countered the enemy. Sometimes he would summon the earth's fire to engulf the magic dragon. One had profound skills, and the other had the advantage of terrain.

  A column of fire that pierced the sky rose in a swirl, forming the shape of a phoenix in mid-air. It swirled majestically, revealing the grandeur and dignity of the king of all flying creatures. Strands of terrifying flames began to slowly separate from the void, transforming into individual fire spirits that charged towards the demon dragon.

  The demon dragon let out a loud roar, releasing all of its blood energy. A winding, thousand-mile-long blood dragon appeared, and the aura of blood slaughter seemed to envelop him. The blood mouth could swallow everything, and a single breath containing the aura of slaughter shot towards the sky filled with fire spirits.

  Shattered, incessantly shattered. The two men fought equally matched.

  Ji Tian stepped step by step towards the depths of the volcano, carefully sensing the power of the flames.

  Hot, scorching pain!

  It was as if endless flames were rising in his soul and burning continuously, making Ji Tian feel a scorching pain deep within him that only intensified.

  This is fire, not the gentle flame of spiritual evolution, but a fierce and turbulent power.

  The red flames deepened step by step and gradually turned blue, a faint blue flame.

  Jian Tian used the yin energy on his body to block off the high temperature and slowly stretched out his fingers towards the faint blue flame.

  Severe burning sensation!

  His entire right arm suddenly burst into intense flames, and Ji Tian hastily mobilized his body's yin energy to resist this destructive force.

  Now his own strength can only resist this red flame, and he can't even resist a thread of blue flame.

  Refine the flame to be compatible with his own yuanqi fire, Ji Tian's hands formed a seal, drawing in the powerful flames, thread by thread, trying to merge them with his own yuanqi fire.

  This spark of flame was instantly extinguished like a burning piece of charcoal thrown into ice water.

  Attributes are opposite, although they have the same origin but cannot be compatible.

  Ji Tian swung his arm, and a wave of soul power fluctuated, unleashing the Heaven Concealing Divine Ability.

  A huge illusory hand reached out to the Fire Phoenix, which was fighting fiercely with the Magic Dragon, and instantly scattered all the flames on its body.

  The phoenix let out a mournful cry, stirring up the flames that covered its entire body, and sent them burning towards those illusory giant hands.

  The huge hand condensed by the spiritual power of Ji Tian was ignited under the continuous scorching of the flames, burning with a whoosh.

  That palm went straight in without reducing its momentum, pulling the Fire Phoenix into the volcano.

  Perhaps it was the power of Ji Tian that far exceeded Huo Feng's, or perhaps it was the exhaustion from battling the demon dragon.

  Ji Tian stretched out his hand and touched it lightly. A surge of spiritual energy poured into the primordial spirit of Huo Fenghuang, slowly exploring it.

  Soul Searching Technique, a spell that directly acts on the opponent's soul. In general, it is used to forcefully break open the opponent's Sea of Consciousness with a strong divine sense, reading the memory images within. However, using this technique in such a forceful manner can sometimes cause the opponent's Primordial Spirit to collapse directly.

  Ji Tian possesses the magic that has been passed down from the soul's law, he himself is a soul cultivator, and his understanding of the soul is also very deep. He doesn't forcefully break through but instead slowly merges, merging into the other person's sea of consciousness.

  Fire is also divided into yin and yang, with both virtual and real aspects. The main types of yang fire are the three fires of heaven, earth, and man. Fire from wood, which ordinary people use to burn wood for fuel, is called human fire. Fire from stone, which melts rocks to produce fire, is called earthly fire. Fire from the void, which is produced by lightning striking the air, is called heavenly fire. Yang fire can burn up all things.

  Yin fire mainly refers to the flames within the body of yin objects, that is, ghost fire. Yin fire can burn up the yuan shen.

  This earth fire is yang, ghost fire is yin. Generally, yin and yang cannot be combined, only when cultivated to the deepest level can yin and yang complement each other, extreme yin gives birth to yang.

  Ji Tian muttered to himself, so it was like this after all, he still had a long way to go before reaching this step.

  Its own ghost fire is the most in the dark and obscure fire, with nine gloomy numbers. Its color is black, with nine changes, each change generates an outer flame, and after nine changes, it may generate yang fire. Yang fire is the most purple.

  Is it that I can only refine the black stone with the help of this earth fire, but I only have the ability to resist low-level earth fire? How difficult!

  Ji Tian got up and extinguished the flames on his body, feeling depressed.

  The purple flame that I accidentally produced is so difficult to obtain, yet it was created by chance!

  Was it his own Yuandan that produced it, or was it the black relic bone on his body? That purple flame might not be something that his small Yuandan period could produce.

  Ji Tian's mood was quite bad, and he gazed indifferently at the somewhat disheveled Huo Feng Dao: "Are you willing to follow me, or continue cultivating here?"

  Huǒ Fèng said: "I still want to continue cultivating."

  Ji Tian nodded and said: "You have the Nirvana cultivation method of the Phoenix clan, now that you've reconstituted your body of flames, one day you will be reborn from the fire."

  "Never mind, I won't force you. Since I've taken your soul's memories, I'll give you some enlightenment to help improve your state."

  Ji Tian used his hand to point, a strand of black soul awareness merged into Huo Feng's soul.

  Huǒ Fèng's mind was filled with a piece of information that left him astonished, and as he watched Jiàn Tīan ride away on his demonic dragon, his heart was full of questions.

  What kind of person is he, who seems cold-blooded and yet doesn't kill innocent people. He's indifferent to life, but full of emotions.
