Over hundreds of millions of the law symbols, like the vast ocean, starting to move.
Little Fool’s mind was stirred, he was like a canoe out in the ocean, lost in the vast and endless water, as though he was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Every wave of the ocean of laws was quiet, but in Little Fool’s mind, it was surging forth and clapping like thunder.
Lights like fireflies started to rise from the ocean of laws, over hundreds of millions of light dots, surging forth from the golden laws, forming into an ocean of light.
The ocean of fireflies light aura reflected Little Fool’s face, showing his surprise and shock extremely clearly.
The Trial of Light seemed to be aware of danger, and suddenly burst out a bright light aura, corroding the Spirit Devouring Flame.
But in front of the ocean of fireflies, the Trial of Light was extremely small, and dim, and insignificant. All the firefly like light auras flew from all directions towards the Spirit Devouring Flame.
They flew extremely slowly, as though they were on a stroll, causing the Trial of Light to become increasingly alarmed, it suddenly condensed its light aura, forming a ray of white rune symbols and escaped from the Spirit Devouring Flame.
This ray of white rune symbols flew extremely quickly, suddenly darting left and right as though it was thinking of a way to escape.
But regardless of where it darted to, it was an endless void without any boundaries.
The surrounding fireflies around it were getting more and more numerous, and it became even more frightened and more berserk, but regardless of where it flew to, there would always be the light dots, it was completely surrounded.
The inexhaustible light dots were like a tide, coming from all directions, it slowly got closer.
The white rune symbols that could not escape released a white light, causing the light dots near it to extinguish. But the number of firefly like light dots were too numerous, gradually forcing their way in, the white light area continued to shrink.
The tides of firefly like light dots continued to swarm, causing the white light to dim and eventually disappear.
In the next moment, the hundreds of millions of light dots gradually sunk and entered the vast ocean of laws, causing it to become calm again.
In the void, only a fingernail sized white flame was left, the flame did not have any attribute, yet was releasing a cold power. The weakened Spirit Devouring Flame seemed to have smelled something, transforming into a fire line, it flew to the fingernail sized white flame and devoured it.
Bang!
The light aura of the Spirit Devouring Flame expanded, the multi colored light flickered indefinitely, emitting a vicious killing intent, which slowly disappeared. What replaced it was a heart palpitating cold.
Little Fool’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, he closed his eyes and cautiously felt the Spirit Devouring Flames, his adorable face revealing joy.
The myriad of color of the Spirit Devouring Flame was gradually becoming dim, regaining its translucent shade, it quietly floated in the void without a trace of dangerous qi.
Little Fool waved his hand, the Spirit Devouring Flame flew into his palm, the arc of his smile becoming wider and wider to the point that he laughed out loud.
“Hahahaha….”
The childish voice was layered with a demonic intent and craziness.
The Spirit Devouring Flames’ spirit value had reached an all time high value of 260 points!
Breaking the 200 threshold value meant that the Spirit Devouring Flame had become a silver grade Spirit Treasure! Furthermore, after it had devoured the Trial of light, the Spirit Devouring Flames became even more destructive towards Honorable Martial Group’s spirit techniques. The Trial of Light was not something anyone could obtain, it was meant to control the higher ups and saints of Honorable Martial Group. The average gold ranked martial artists did not have the qualifications for the Trial of light to be planted into them, and as for Jing Hao, when he defected, he was not even a gold ranked martial artist.
And to counter the saints and higher ups, the Trial of Light possessed extraordinary destructive capabilities against light type spirit techniques and true power.
(TN: Changing Light series of Spirit techniques to Light type, or eye type but they mean the same. HMG uses light as their attacks, i reckon.)
Who could blame Little Fool for being so happy!
Although the Spirit Devouring Flame was powerful, in Gui Wu’s records, after it reaches a spirit value of 190 points, devouring star treasures would become more difficult to upgrade, and only by devouring unique martial spirits or saint spirits, could it step into the silver grade.
But he had to admit that the Trial of Light was truly powerful. If not for the Forceful Subjugating Bead that Gui Wu had left behind, Little Fool would not be able to defeat it. The Trial of Light was stripped by the Bead, leaving only its origin core law, and became nourishment for the Spirit Devouring Flame.
To the Spirit Devouring Flame, the core law of the Trial of Light was very high level, and that was what enabled its level to have a qualitative leap.
The current Spirit Devouring Flames might, was comparable to Fu Ying’s all out attack, and if his enemy was Honorable Martial Group, then its might would be amplified. That also meant, from now on, Little Fool who had the Spirit Devouring Flame would become the arch enemy of Honorable Martial Saints!
Tang Tian did not have the time to watch over Little Fool, he was in a mess, Light Blade Army surrendering was a troublesome thing for him.
The morale of the Light Blade Army was at an all time low, both of their Masters had fainted, causing them to be a dragon without its head. The biggest problem now was that they were unable to accept the fact that the surrendered. The pride that Honorable Martial Group had bestowed on them had long seeped into their bone marrows, in their eyes, Tang Tian and the rest were just a group of hoodlums.
They were beaten by the group of hoodlums, and they surrendered.
This ending, struck a chord in their hearts. No one hated the two masters, because the Trial of Light blossomed right in front of their eyes, and for their masters to be willing to accept the punishment, was because of them.
Tang Tian did not expect that the Light Blade Army would surrender, and was caught unprepared, so he was at a loss. Since his opponent had surrendered, he could not kill off the hostages. So the immediately big problem was where to place the Light Blade Army.
The individual strength of every person in the Light Blade Army was not weak, if they were slightly inattentive, it could easily cause a disaster.
If only Uncle Bing was here!
Tang Tian was thinking, since Uncle Bing was not around, Ta Dun and the rest were also not proficient in such matters, so Tang Tian had no choice but to harden his skin.
Just as Tang Tian was feeling vexed, Ye Shou Xin and Mo Lei woke up. The gloomy morale of the soldiers became slightly stirred, many of the martial artists all found their backbone and calmed down. To accept the Trial of Light to preserve their men’s lives, Ye Shou Xin and Mo Lei’s actions gained the approval of the Light Blade Army.
Tang Tian was overly happy, in truth, he respected the two of them.
They were truly men!
He patted on their shoulders and spoke earnestly: “Everyone will be brothers from now on!”
Ye SHou Xin and Mo Lei’s expressions became complicated, the two of them were prepared to die, but they did not expect to survive. Ye Shou Xin quickly regained his calmness, he was not one who had everything from Honorable Martial Group, and thus did not agree to Honorable Martial Group wholeheartedly. Compared to him, Mo Lei’s expression was much more gloomy.
Ye Shou Xin who calmed down reminded Tang Tian: “There are 15 saints from the [Temple] that are arriving soon, you should prepare early.”
[Temple]! 15 Saints!
Everyone’s faces tightened, Meng Ta asked: “How long do we roughly have?”
“At most half a day.” Mo Lei who was the one who spoke, although he was filled with pain in his heart, he knew that if Tang Tian was to fight them, then the fate of Light Blade Army was most probably to be massacred.
Killed as a warning to the rest!
The higher ups would definitely severely punish the Light Blade Army, Mo Lei even suspected it might be instant death, as to the higher ups, they would be unable to atone for their crimes. He also did not know why he agreed to Ye Shou Xin’s decision, was he afraid of dying? He knew it was not, for as compared to the Trial of Light, dying was much more comfortable.
Tang Tian did not know about the prestige of [Temple], but the rest knew, and those who heard had a change in their face.
“Are they powerful?” Tang Tian was not happy: “Hey hey, we have so many people here, 43 against 15, what are you all afraid of!”
Ye Shou Xin and Mo Lei were stunned, they looked at Tang Tian weirdly.
This seemingly stupid fellow, was he truly the godlike young lad who swept the world the instant he came out?
Was he pretending? Maybe…..
To be able to form such a foundation, how can he be a fool? How could he not be sophisticated at all?
Meng Ta saw that Tang Tian was blinded with optimism, he had no choice but to unmask the fault: “Master, we are all independent saints, compared to the saints from the [Temple], regardless of equipment or strength, we are lacking.”
Tang Tian was startled, he ‘oh’, and replied: “So it’s like that.”
Amongst the group, Meng Ta was considered the strongest, so if he himself said that they did not have the confidence to, then the rest, would definitely follow suit. All saints wanted face, if the disparity was not too big, they would definitely not admit to their own shortfalls.
Tang Tian scratched his chin and started to think.
Suddenly, Ye Shou Xin spoke out: “The bronze balls Master used just now, those were unique weapons.”
Everyone all nodded, Meng Ta spoke out: “That’s right, that flames are extremely fatal to saints.”
Tang Tian smacked his thighs, that’s right, Spirit Devouring Flame could be considered a half spirit treasure, so it could cause injuries to saints. Without saying a word, he summoned Little Fool out: “Little Fool, if you are to start refining the balls now, how many can you make in half a day?”
“A 100 odd.” Little Fool replied, he had previously made a 100 plus of them, and was extremely familiar with it, further adding that his comprehension of the spirit devouring flame had become more profound, refining had become much easier.
“That’s great, then one person will get two.” Tang Tian felt that it was good.
“One to one person is enough.” Little Fool was initially somewhat unwilling, but after thinking about it, if he gave them the Spirit Devouring Flame, then he would not need to refine spirit treasures anymore.
Little Fool spoke out: “It’s called Spirit Devouring Flame, but it is best for all of you to feed them more treasures, the more you feed the better, as they will get stronger with more treasures. When just refined, its spirit value is too weak, and difficult to cause injuries to saints.”
“Spirit Devouring Flame!?”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed out, the person being Dian Yu. He was the only Blood Meridians Saint out of the group, and his eyes was filled with excitement.
“Is it powerful?” Meng Ta asked curiously.
Although Dian Yu was excited, he looked at Little Fool, and did not reply.
“Tell them.” Little Fool spoke with its childish voice, it’s adorable doll like face, with its old and decrepit appearance, was laughable.
Dian Yu spoke out: “Spirit Devouring Flame was created by a famous Blood Meridians Saint, Xu Zhi Xun, who did not come from Onyx Soul but was an independent saint. He offended Honorable Martial Group and was chased all around, and then he founded a group of independent saints, taught them the Spirit Devouring Flames and then requested them to immediately pledge not to spread it. This group of people were hailed as the Spirit Devouring Blood Group.”
“Spirit Devouring Blood Group!” Mo Lei’s face became shocked.
