The two Blood Race spectators outside the battlefield suddenly felt a forbidden aura emanating from the center, causing the void to tremble.
In that instant, they lost the ability to think, frozen in place.
"Retreat!"
Instinctive fear left the Holy Blood King with only this thought in his mind.
The aura was too terrifying, akin to the presence of Emperor Xuanming within the Bloodline Territory, making it impossible for him to resist.
No, compared to it, even the aura of the Xuanming Realm was too weak, akin to the aura a demigod emitted.
But soon after, the Holy Blood King felt that even the aura of a demigod wouldn’t give him such a feeling.
Yet the strongest being he had seen so far was a demigod, so he couldn’t imagine anything beyond that.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He and the white-haired elder retreated frantically, escaping thousands of miles in an instant."Too terrifying. What exactly happened at the center of the battle?"
The white-haired elder said, still shuddering with fear.
"Just the aura alone seems capable of mastering our life and death. This must be that mighty being performing a secret technique!"
The Holy Blood King speculated and then became utterly certain.
In this way, Chen Yu would undoubtedly die.
"Is that person really a mighty being reborn through body seizing? Thus, we stand no chance at all."
The white-haired elder showed a look of despair.
They had worked hard all day, placing themselves in danger, yet didn’t gain any benefits.
Besides, that mighty being seemed intent on killing everyone. With Chen Yu dead, they would be next.
The Holy Blood King also realized this and immediately said, "We must now find a weak point in space and prepare to leave this small world."
...
Destruction of the void zone.
"What... what’s going on?"
The Young Master was shocked to find that he couldn’t control the Void Sky Holy Fire!
This was truly frightening; his relationship with the Void Sky Holy Fire wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface. He was actually the "Flame Spirit," yet at this moment, even he couldn’t control the flame; it was absurd.
Moreover, all the Void Sky Holy Fire he had released was thoroughly suppressed, behaving like ordinary flames, converging toward Chen Yu’s head.
In less than two breaths.
All the surrounding Void Sky Holy Fire transformed into streams of fire, rushing over and condensing into a ball of flame.
Not only that, even the body of the Void Sky Holy Fire within the Young Master was out of control, wanting to leave his body.
"Damn it, the Void Sky Holy Fire is mine!"
The Young Master cried out in astonishment and fury, desperately trying to control the Void Sky Holy Fire within him.
"This time, I haven’t lost consciousness."
Chen Yu opened his eyes.
His mysterious heart was stimulated, emitting this terrible power, which wasn’t the first time this had happened.
The first time was in the Blood Burial Garden, back then Chen Yu was unconscious for a long time.
Afterward, every time it happened, Chen Yu’s consciousness was exceedingly vague.
But this time, Chen Yu only felt tired, with no signs of losing consciousness.
Perhaps this was a change brought about after the mysterious heart’s transformation.
Chen Yu looked up, eyes widened: "Void Sky Holy Fire!"
The mysterious heart was actually absorbing the power of the Void Sky Holy Fire, then sealing it!
But this time, the situation was a bit special; the body of the Void Sky Holy Fire was within the Young Master, under his control, or perhaps his cultivation was relatively high, so it could resist.
Once the power released by the mysterious heart dissipated, Chen Yu would lack the trump card to deal with the opponent.
Whoosh!
Chen Yu activated the White Tiger Sacred Claw, both claws moving together.
Sky-splitting Star-shattering Claw!
He executed the strongest style in the "Sky-splitting Star-shattering Claw," tearing out a chaotic and violent trail of gold and silver light, densely covering the Young Master.
At the same time, Chen Yu’s Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings flapped, layers of blood flames rolling out, transforming into a boundless sea of fire.
"No..."
The suppressed Young Master, with all attention focused on controlling the Void Sky Holy Fire, had no effort left to counter Chen Yu’s attack.
He appeared extremely panicked, feeling despair.
Bang boom!
The violent light trail and the sea of blood flames descended.
The Young Master’s body was torn open with more than a dozen wounds, deep enough to see bone, and was covered with blood flames. His body’s blood and vitality rapidly flowed away.
He tragically flew backward, but within him, a deep silver fire ball was being extracted.
"No! The Void Sky Holy Fire is mine..."
A cry of surprise came from within, but it was of no use.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yu noticed something was amiss.
He thought the Young Master was a Demon Race entity reborn by body seizing, and that Demon Race entity controlled the Void Sky Holy Fire.
Now it seemed, this wasn’t the case.
Whoosh!
The body of the Void Sky Holy Fire transformed into a stream of silver flames, flying into the silver flame ball above Chen Yu’s head.
With the rhythmic beating of the mysterious heart, the silver flame ball was completely sealed, sinking into silence, turning into a silver flame pearl, falling down.
Chen Yu caught it in the palm of his hand and spread it out in front of him.
"Void Sky Holy Fire!"
Chen Yu was incomparably excited.
This Void Sky Holy Fire was ranked on the True Fire Spirit Flame List in past lives, known as a "Treasure Strange Flames," incredibly precious.
The Demon Race body seizer was trying to kill everyone to preserve the secret of the Void Sky Holy Fire.
And now, under the power of the mysterious heart, such a strange flame had fallen into Chen Yu’s hands.
Chen Yu examined the "silver pearl" in his hand.
"Is this the power of space?"
Chen Yu was a bit surprised.
The mysterious heart is closely related to space, and this method of sealing external objects is also a power of space.
What surprised him was that even the Void Sky Holy Fire, which feeds on space power, was sealed, indicating the high level of the mysterious heart.
Rumble!
Everything returned to normal, and the surrounding pitch-black area that had been destroyed issued a rumble, with space turbulence blowing out.
Even the small intact space under Chen Yu’s feet showed cracks and was about to shatter.
Only then did Chen Yu realize that the stable space characteristic of the mysterious heart seemed to have weakened significantly.
Perhaps this is the drawback after the mysterious heart exerted powerful force; it fell into a weak period and naturally could not stabilize space, and its other abilities might also be weakened.
Swoosh!
The wings on Chen Yu’s back vibrated, space profound meaning was activated, and he safely passed through this extremely dangerous shattered void.
"The void within a thousand-zhang radius was burned, truly worthy of the Void Sky Holy Fire!"
Chen Yu looked at the scene in front of him.
The reason why the body-seizing Demon Race could rival Chen Yu and the Blood Race, repeatedly forcing Chen Yu into dangerous situations, was mainly due to the Void Sky Holy Fire.
But now, the Void Sky Holy Fire was sealed and fell into Chen Yu’s hands, making him somewhat excited.
Once he refines such a terrifying spirit flame, he will be able to master this power!
Chen Yu flew down and walked into a destroyed palace with a broken barrier, sitting cross-legged, calming his mind.
These days, his spirit had been overly tense, going through several intense battles, making his mind somewhat fatigued.
Fortunately, everything had ended.
After resting for a while, he took out the silver bead.
Based on previous experiences, the Void Sky Holy Fire was likely about to be refined inexplicably.
To release the [Void Sky Holy Fire], he had to break the space seal outside.
Chen Yu tried a bit and found it wasn’t difficult, with the power of the space seal dissipating little by little.
At the same time, a faint throb came from within the silver bead.
"As the space seal dissipates, the Void Sky Holy Fire is slowly awakening... but I don’t feel any connection between myself and the Void Sky Holy Fire."
Chen Yu became cautious.
This situation was a bit different, and he did not know the reason.
If he lifts the space seal too quickly, the Void Sky Holy Fire will undoubtedly escape, and "capturing" it again won’t be easy. .
The powerful force released by the mysterious heart always appears at critical life and death moments, and Chen Yu didn’t want to gamble his life on it.
Moreover, the mysterious heart seemed to be in a weak period at the moment and probably couldn’t seal the Void Sky Holy Fire again.
He continued to dismantle the power sealing the [Void Sky Holy Fire], and after a while, he felt a weak and indistinct connection between himself and the [Void Sky Holy Fire].
This connection was very weak, like refining a mysterious artifact only by two to three parts, with the artifact still able to resist Chen Yu.
At this moment, Chen Yu felt an awareness within the [Void Sky Holy Fire] resisting, attempting to break the connection.
"It seems it needs refining!"
Chen Yu further weakened part of the space seal and then penetrated it with soul power, beginning to refine the [Void Sky Holy Fire].
"You brat, what exactly did you do? Let this old man out quickly!"
An angry shout erupted from within the spirit flame.
Chen Yu found it strange, logically, this awareness should be the Flame Spirit, yet the opponent seemed to be the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan that was recently reborn through body-seizing.
"You should be the Flame Spirit of the Void Sky Holy Fire, now that this fire is in my hands, give up resisting and assist me in refining!"
Chen Yu shouted fiercely.
This fellow was arrogant just moments ago, even wanting to kill Chen Yu, so he naturally wouldn’t be polite now.
"Don’t even think about it, the Void Sky Holy Fire is mine!"
The Flame Spirit roared.
But it was trapped in a sealed space, and although the seal was composed of space power, it couldn’t be devoured, which only meant this space power was of too high a level.
"Damn it, how could this be, you blasted thing, this is my Void Sky Holy Fire..."
The Flame Spirit kept howling, both angry and sorrowful.
The connection between Chen Yu and the [Void Sky Holy Fire] was established, making the refining relatively smooth.
Three days later.
"I, once a king of the Demon Race, became a Flame Spirit, which was already unfortunate, and now I was refined by a human boy..."
The Flame Spirit roared unwillingly one last time.
The next moment.
"Master!"
The Flame Spirit’s attitude towards Chen Yu changed drastically.
"Hehe, the old fellow finally became obedient."
Chen Yu couldn’t help but smile.
These days, the Flame Spirit had fiercely resisted him, continually cursing, like a girl about to be violated.
Swoosh!
The [Void Sky Holy Fire] flew out, landing in Chen Yu’s hand, and finally turned into a human form.
"Tell me how you became a Flame Spirit."
Chen Yu ordered.
"Master, I was the first-generation Clan Leader of the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan..."
The Flame Spirit began to recount.
The other party was originally the creator of the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan, and upon reaching the limit of his lifespan, he had a fateful encounter and found this small world.
Logically, he should have informed his clan about this small world, to develop and expand the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan.
But out of selfishness, he hid this fact and entered the small world before his death to seek breakthrough opportunities.
However, instead of finding inheritance and great opportunities, he discovered a Void Sky Holy Fire that had not yet been fully cultivated in the depths of the cave. But he was ambushed by the spirit flame, and as his lifespan ran out, he unexpectedly fused with the Void Sky Holy Fire, becoming a Flame Spirit.
It seemed to trigger some mechanism, and the hall cultivating the spirit flame sealed itself, trapping him for thousands of years.
Until now, when Chen Yu and the others broke into the place and released him.
He originally thought that, from then on, the sky was the limit, and with the Void Sky Holy Fire in hand, he would rise to a peak in life.
But, he was refined.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel for the Clan Leader, realizing it was truly a tragic story for him.
For himself, however, it was an immense opportunity.
