Chapter 637: Sealing Spirit Lock Red Flame

Angry Squid

In previous incarnations, the Crimson Flame took over a decade to boil the sea. It was a gradual process that eventually incinerated the entire Clouded Sea.

However, the Black Flame had only been present for half a day, yet it had already brought the entire Clouded Sea to a boil.

Swirling steam continuously rose, forming a thick, cloud-like fog that drifted above the sea surface.

Judging by the situation, it was feared that the Clouded Sea would completely dry up within a few days!

The disparity between the Crimson Flame and the Black Flame was evident from this.

"But compared to Mo Sha's terrifying, all-destructive power, this is still a ways off," Li Fan mused to himself, gazing at the boiling, churning sea below.

Just then, Immortal Lord Hongxi had flown back.

"Leylines!"

He hastily uttered a single command, then continuously cast countless magic seals with his hands, manipulating the Heavenly Genesis Array.

On the luminous barrier, the scene shifted. A glowing, colossal net appeared before everyone.

And Li Fan saw that the outermost edge of this net had surprisingly been stained black!

Realization dawned on Li Fan.

It turned out the Black Flame was leveraging the continuous flow of Leyline power, distributed throughout the Clouded Sea, to rapidly transmit its heat to every corner of the ocean.

"No wonder it remained hidden. Not only is its power on a different level, but has its intelligence also evolved?"

"Extract the Leylines, force it to appear!" Immortal Lord Hongxi snarled, a fierce glint flashing across his face.

Leylines are the foundation of the earth. Once damaged, the terrain within the region would not only be completely overturned, but various strange changes would also occur. It might even become permanently unsuitable for cultivators to inhabit.

They would never resort to such measures unless absolutely necessary. Even if they survived the calamity, they would not escape the Myriad Immortal Alliance's punishment.

However, at this moment, the cultivators who had already committed acts of "killing their brethren" had no more qualms.

The Heavenly Genesis Array, originally connected through various Leyline nodes, now conversely began to draw power from the Leylines.

A hum...

Not long after, a strange sound echoed in everyone's ears.

It was as if the earth were overturning, or mountains and rivers were collapsing.

The already ceaselessly boiling seawater became even more violent. Colossal waves surged once more across the Clouded Sea. Even the sky gathered rolling black clouds from unknown origins.

The wind howled wildly, and the great sea trembled.

In the face of this overwhelming cosmic might, all the cultivators in Clouded City turned ashen and trembled uncontrollably.

But after drawing upon the earthy-yellow Leyline power, the Clouded City's protective array became even more robust and resilient. Amidst this world-destroying scene, it stood unmoving as a mountain, like a safe haven in a storm.

This ultimately allowed the cultivators to retain a glimmer of courage.

The wind and waves grew even fiercer.

As the Clouded Sea's surface continuously dropped, shallow parts of the seabed began to be exposed.

Unlike the usual sight of a seabed covered in silt, at this moment, the entire seabed was covered by a layer of black, unknown substance.

It was like stones completely shattered by fire.

"Even if this calamity passes," many cultivators lamented upon seeing this scene, "it will take decades, if not a century or more, for the Clouded Sea to return to its original state."

Seeing that the Black Flame had still not appeared, Hongxi also completely hardened his resolve.

"Continue, don't stop!"

The roaring sound of the seabed breaking apart echoed, yet the Heavenly Genesis Array continued to operate at maximum power.

As if reaching a certain threshold, fiery red magma suddenly erupted from the seabed.

Then, as if a chain reaction had been triggered, fiery dragons appeared throughout the Clouded Sea, and lava shot towards the sky.

Millions of fire dragons burst forth, scorching heaven and earth.

In the distorted air, a half-red, half-black figure quietly appeared beneath Clouded City.

"It's finally out!"

A glint of killing intent and greed flashed in Immortal Lord Hongxi's eyes, and his figure vanished.

The next moment, his body transformed into continuous mountain ranges, encircling the figure.

"That's..."

"The Crimson Flame! The Soul of Heaven and Earth, Crimson Flame!"

The cultivators who witnessed the true form of the evolved Crimson Flame all fell into a frenzy.

Even though they had witnessed its terrifying power to boil the sea with a mere gesture, it could not extinguish the desire in their hearts.

"So it wasn't a meteor disaster, but the descent of a Soul of Heaven and Earth!"

"Indeed, it's an opportunity! A heaven-sent opportunity!"

"Sacrifice the Soul of Heaven and Earth, and one can ascend to heaven in a single step, directly attaining Dao Integration!"

In just a few breaths of time, the cultivators were completely consumed by greed. Some incited everyone to hunt down the Crimson Flame together.

Many, having lost their minds, immediately charged directly at the Crimson Flame, like moths drawn to a flame.

The result, naturally, was that they couldn't even get close to the Crimson Flame before being incinerated into ashes by the intense heat.

"It's still the Crimson Flame, not the Black Flame, is it?" Li Fan mused, paying no heed to the lives or deaths of the people, and instead staring thoughtfully at the half-red, half-black mutated Crimson Flame.

This clone also felt greed surging within its heart.

But at the same time, it did not almost lose its mind, as it had in previous incarnations when seeing the Crimson Flame.

For his main body, even without intentionally activating the Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Incantation, the greed originating from the clone spontaneously vanished without a trace.

Like ice and snow melting into water, it merely stirred faint ripples and brought him no actual impact.

"Immortal cultivation techniques are truly extraordinary," Li Fan mused inwardly. "Not only is my original mind clear now, but even the clone, thousands of miles away, can remain consistent."

To avoid revealing any weakness, Li Fan still pretended to be deeply attracted by the Soul of Heaven and Earth, merely struggling to restrain himself.

His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged, and he stood rigid in place.

He wanted to see where Immortal Lord Hongxi's courage to directly confront the Crimson Flame alone came from.

It should be noted that even the weakened version of the Crimson Flame in the previous incarnation was no match for Hongxi, even when he teamed up with several other Soul Transformation cultivators.

Let alone this world's black and red Crimson Flame.

If he had no other trump cards, Immortal Lord Hongxi would likely be instantly killed by it.

But clearly, Hongxi was not such a reckless person.

Under Li Fan's gaze, Hongxi flew before the Crimson Flame.

He manifested continuous, towering mountain ranges, briefly trapping it. At the same time, he held a small mirror high in his hand, pointing it at the Crimson Flame!

"This is..." Li Fan's pupils suddenly constricted.

"Profound Heaven Spirit Seal!" Immortal Lord Hongxi shouted aloud.

A brilliant azure light shot out from the square mirror, aiming directly at the Crimson Flame's body.

As if a strong wind had blown past, the Crimson Flame's translucent body flickered continuously.

Yet, despite all the powerful manifestations it had just displayed, it was utterly powerless before this azure light!

As if naturally suppressed, a look of astonishment appeared on its face, and its body became instantly immobile!

Ecstasy surged across Hongxi's face.

"This is bad!" Li Fan thought to himself.

"Could it be that Hongxi will achieve Dao Integration so easily in this life?"

He hadn't expected that Immortal Lord Hongxi, having returned from the Myriad Immortal Alliance headquarters, would actually possess the Profound Heaven Spirit Seal, such a potent weapon.

And the Soul of Heaven and Earth, before the Profound Heaven Spirit Seal, was actually so weak!
