Chapter 907: The Clean Fire Appears
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Even though the flame before Xin Wuji did not have any heat, it emanated horrifying waves, causing the Glacier Domain to crumble and melt away under its aura.
The flame had yet to attack, and it had already disintegrated Mo Wen’s Glacier Domain. It was too terrifying.
The esoteric rule of fire that the Day Scorpion Familiar cultivated had reached the fledgling stage of profound meaning. Even though it was not the esoteric rule that he majored in, the might of the fledging stage of profound meaning cultivated by a sacred level strong practitioner was not something that common ancient martial art practitioners could compare to.
The orange flame burned brighter and brighter, as though it was a sun. Mo Wen felt like he was facing the spiritual fire. However, the flame before him did not have the spiritual energy of the spiritual fire, only a terrifying destructive power.
Die!
The Day Scorpion Familiar’s eyes were frenzied. He had already developed a hatred of Mo Wen for having pushed him to such a limit. Since this brat was so stubborn, then the Day Scorpion Familiar would send him on his way.
The terrifying fireball instantly became a huge firebird. Although it was not the Divine Beast Phoenix and did not contain the power of the Phoenix, its might was far more frightening than the power of the Phoenix that Mo Wen summoned. Even through the layer of the protective shroud, the participants could sense the terrifying destructive power emanating from inside the protective shroud. Their facial expressions changed drastically. The aura was enough to threaten their lives.
Even Mo Wen’s spirit was trembling. Unprecedented palpitations kept extending and filling his mind. It was a warning that there was a threat to his life. He felt that he was close to death’s door. He knew that he could not block this attack. The power of the fledging stage of profound meaning was not a power that he could withstand right now.
Just as he prepared to retreat from the challenge ring and surrender, deep within his body, something seemed to have emerged from its shell. A bizarre sensation filled Mo Wen’s core. It was… the Spiritless Clean Fire!
Just as Mo Wen was preparing to retreat from the challenge ring battle, the Spiritless Clean Fire that had always been hidden in his body actually began to flow on its own. After Mo Wen absorbed the spiritual fire, his Spiritless Clean Fire had already developed somewhat. However, the Spiritless Clean Fire was rather dangerous. Even he could not control it. If he lost control, the consequences would definitely be severe. His body would instantly be burned to ashes by the Spiritless Clean Fire.
He had never before unleased the Spiritless Clean Fire against an opponent. No matter how difficult the situation was, he had not used it. It was because he knew that the Spiritless Clean Fire was like a double-edged sword. Although the might of the Spiritless Clean Fire was frightening, once it went out of control, that would be playing with fire.
Right now, Mo Wen had not activated the Spiritless Clean Fire, yet it surfaced out of the blue. Normally, it was difficult for Mo Wen to mobilize even just a little of the Spiritless Clean Fire. However, right now, all of it gushed forth like a rising tide.
Mo Wen’s face instantly turned as white as a sheet. His heart jumped to his throat. This was the Spiritless Clean Fire! Even Medicine Sage Ji Wuya had not cultivated it completely. One minor slip and Mo Wen would most likely be reduced to ashes instantly.
Mo Wen was caught off guard by such a sudden change. He even forgot surrendering. The only thing left in his mind was one thought: he’s screwed!
The Spiritless Clean Fire gushed out from Mo Wen’s body, yet it was colorless and formless, so it could not be seen by the naked eye. Even the Primordial Soul Realm immortal cultivators could not capture its presence with their deified soul power. Those with keen eyesight might be able to see that the space around Mo Wen was slightly distorted.
Not the air, but the space. The space around Mo Wen was undergoing a distortion under the control of a formless power.
“Mo Wen actually refuses to yield. Could it be that he is preparing to defend against the power of the fledging stage of profound meaning? It’s impossible. He can’t stand against it.” Mo Qingtian was baffled. He was ready to intervene, yet Mo Wen’s action was a little odd, causing him to hesitate momentarily.
“Wait a second. Something is odd about him.”
Mo Qingge’s eyes narrowed, with her gaze fixed on Mo Wen. Her expression actually turned serious.
“Something is odd?” Mo Qingtian scrutinized Mo Wen as he heard his sister’s words.
…
The firebird formed from the fledging stage of profound meaning of the esoteric rule for fire flew up and charged towards Mo Wen. The entire Glacier Domain completely collapsed. On the shattered ice, flames appeared. It was as though the mountains of ice were enveloped by a sea of flame. The layers reflected each other mutually and were exceptionally majestic.
Screech!
The firebird let out a long screech. It spread out its wings and came diving downwards.
Mo Wen was scared, and he wanted to dodge; however, to his horror, he realized that his body was beyond his control. It was as though something was drawing him nearer. Instead of dodging the firebird, he leaped forward and crashed into it.
It was an uncontrollable attraction. Even Mo Wen could not stop himself from crashing into the terrifying firebird.
This was the end!
Mo Wen’s mind was left in despair. The power exerted by the firebird was definitely not something he could defend against. It was equivalent to the strongest blow from an ultimate warrior. Currently, Mo Wen still paled into insignificance when compared to ultimate warriors.
However, his body was beyond his control and he darted forward like a moth to a flame. Mo Wen knew that his abnormality was most likely due to the Spiritless Clean Fire.
“You actually dare to take my fledging stage of esoteric rule for fire head-on. You are practically seeking death.”
The Day Scorpion Familiar was momentarily stupified. He had not expected that Mo Wen would actually do such a thing. Mo Wen was practically throwing his life away! The fledging stage of esoteric rule for fire was a power that the Day Scorpion Familiar formed by mobilizing a large amount of Power of Heaven and Earth with his Primordial Soul. It was equivalent to a blow from a sacred level strong practitioner. None of the participants could defend against it.
“Since you wish for death, I will grant you your wish.” The corner of Day Scorpion Familiar’s mouth curled to reveal a glint of malice. No rule had forbidden killing in the challenge ring. In fact, it was common for the participants to get injured or killed when battles got too intense. If someone was killed in the challenge ring, it was no one else’s fault.
Water Deity, Wine and Meat Monk, and the other participants held their breaths and fixed their gazes on the clash between the firebird and Mo Wen. No one had expected that Mo Wen would actually willingly clash with the terrifying firebird. Mo Wen’s action was practically that of a lunatic from their point of view. What made Mo Wen so confident?
“Little brother!”
At the eighth challenge ring, Gu Jingman quickly stood up, and her facial expression turned serious for the first time. She wanted to stop Mo Wen, but it was too late.
…
Mo Wen crashed into the terrifying firebird. He could only laugh bitterly at his own actions. He had not expected that he would do so, let alone the others.
Everything happened in a split second. In an instant, the giant firebird and Mo Wen had collided.
However, there were no horrifying massive explosions as people had expected. There wasn’t any storm caused by energy sweeping out either. In fact, there wasn’t even the sound of a collision.
Mo Wen merged with the giant firebird. Then, a shocking scene occurred. As soon as the giant firebird touched Mo Wen, it reduced in size frenziedly. In an instant, its size had actually reduced by half, as though all the terrifying flames had been devoured by Mo Wen.
Devoured!
The word popped up in everyone’s mind. It indeed looked as though Mo Wen was devouring the terrifying firebird.
“How is this possible?”
The Day Scorpion Familiar’s eyes were wide open, and he stared at Mo Wen with disbelief. How could his fledging stage esoteric rule for fire possibly be devoured by a mortal realm ancient martial art practitioner? It contained large amounts of Power of Heaven and Earth. The total amount was definitely more than the Inner Qi of ten third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters.
“I don’t believe that you can devour flames formed from the Power of Heaven and Earth. You are trying to act tough. Let’s see you withstand this till you die, brat.”
Right now, the Day Scorpion Familiar was also somewhat anxious. He disregarded everything and revealed the fledging stage esoteric rule for fire, and it was actually devoured by Mo Wen. Wasn’t that a slap to the face? He hardened his heart and furiously activated the might of the fledging stage esoteric rule for fire to its limit. Rings of flames enveloped his body. Meanwhile, endless Vital Qi from the heavens and earth were drawn in. The Vital Qi frantically formed flames that dove into the firebird. It began to clash against Mo Wen.
Right now, Mo Wen felt very strange. There was no destructive blow like he had imagined. Instead, it was as though he was soaking in a hot spring. His entire body was comfortably warm and exceptionally pleasant. As for the terrifying flames, they seemed to pose no threat to him. Instead, they constantly surged into his body.
He felt the Spiritless Clean Fire within him devouring the flames. Once these flames came in contact with the Spiritless Clean Fire, they were instantly absorbed into it. As time passed, his Spiritless Clean Fire actually gradually grew bigger and stronger.
This is…
As he felt the Spiritless Clean Fire grow, Mo Wen was both astonished and glad. He had cultivated the Spiritless Clean Fire for such a long time and had always been unable to find a way to make the Spiritless Clean Fire grow. The only thing he could do was to refine whatever Spiritless Clean Fire was already in the Flame Divine Furnace.
The Spiritless Clean Fire in the Flame Divine Furnace had been left behind by Medicine Sage Ji Wuya. It was originally there, and Mo Wen just needed to refine it before he absorbed it. However, Mo Wen had never tried letting the Spiritless Clean Fire in his own body grow on its own.
Being soaked in the flames, he felt exceptionally comfortable and pleasant. The devouring speed of the Spiritless Clean Fire and the speed that Day Scorpion Familiar was frenziedly activating the Power of Heaven and Earth actually reached an equilibrium. The two of them were frozen in the air.
“That is…” Mo Qingtian’s expression also turned completely serious. He could sense that Mo Wen had a power that was frightening beyond compare inside of him. He did not know what it was, but it made him feel terrified.
“I had not expected that he would actually have such a secret. The formless force is most likely a special kind of fire. Besides, it has the ability to devour other flames,” Mo Qingge said with a serious expression. That kind of force was definitely not simple. Even she had not come across such a force.
“Fire? Could it be that he has mastered the Heavenly Fire?”
Mo Qingtian’s eyelids twitched. No matter how powerful the spiritual fire was, it wouldn’t make him feel this way. Only the legendary Heavenly Fire would be so terrifying. Of course, it did not mean that the fire that Mo Wen had was very powerful. Mo Wen’s fire was still too weak to make Mo Qingtian feel threatened. However, what frightened Mo Qingtian was the essence of the fire. Such a small portion of it was able to impose fear on Mo Qingtian. The fire was definitely powerful.
“It is most likely a Heavenly Fire level equivalent fire.”
Mo Qingge nodded. She was very surprised that Mo Wen’s body could actually hold a Heavenly Fire level equivalent fire. No Realm of Emptiness immortal cultivators would dare to contain the Heavenly Fire in their bodies. They would be burned to ashes by even a trace of it.
Right now, Mo Wen felt strange. The Spiritless Clean Fire had remained hidden in his body for a long time, and it had never undergone such changes. At the moment, as the Spiritless Clean Fire was absorbing Day Scorpion Familiar’s fire, it was emanating streaks of bizarre aura as well.
The aura was getting denser. Suddenly, Mo Wen’s entire body shook; he thought of a possibility. Since he could make use of the Cold Vital Qi in the Cool Pool to break through to the ninth level of the Nine Yin Divine Technique, why didn’t he try to break through to the ninth level of the Nine Yang Divine Technique with the aid of the even more mysterious Spiritless Clean Fire?
