542: Chapter 542 Fire Child's Fanaticism, Seizing the Source of Karmic Fire

The expressions of everyone present turned extremely ugly; they were all shocked when Huo Zhi revealed the origin of this flame.

Huo Zhi was delighted in her heart. Having once wielded the Red Lotus Karma Fire, she felt she had the best chance of subduing it.

Once she refined this Red Lotus Karma Fire, Huo Zhi's strength would surely skyrocket, and the Yan Clan would gain a true foundation.

Although the Red Lotus Karma Fire was incredibly dangerous, it was ultimately a top-tier flame of heaven and earth.

If one truly refined and mastered it, they could almost traverse the Fighting Qi Continent unhindered, becoming invincible.

For this reason, even if it meant risking one's life, it was well worth a try, making people flock to it.

"Huo Zhi, do you want to monopolize this divine fire of heaven and earth?" Tang Junyao of the Burning Flame Valley said unwillingly.

The Burning Flame Valley also possessed a strange fire, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, which was one of their foundations. Just now, when the Red Lotus Karma Fire burned the eight great experts...

...the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame within Tang Junyao's body actually gave birth to a hint of fear, something that had never happened before.

Except for those few strange fires ranked near the top of the strange fire ranking list.

The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was ranked twelfth on the strange fire ranking list.

"Oh? Could it be that Saintess Tang has the strength to subdue this Red Lotus Karma Fire..." Hearing this, a playful look appeared on Huo Zhi's pretty face.

"You..." Tang Junyao said, frustrated and unwilling.

Huo Zhi's gaze swept across the surroundings. Taking a deep breath, she actually began walking toward the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

On the side, Hun Tiandi fell into a state of dilemma. He didn't want to give up such a divine fire of heaven and earth, also for his own sake.

A blood sea had already condensed within his body, and he had originally thought it was complete.

However, recalling the records of the Blood Scripture, the Nether Blood Sea still lacked a treasure to suppress the sea, and the blood lotus before him was extremely suitable.

It seemed that for the sake of the blood lotus, he would have to compete with Huo Zhi for this Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Buzz!

When Hun Tiandi took a step forward, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Could it be that this Hun Tiandi had gone mad, actually daring to seize such a bizarre flame?

"Hahaha, this Red Lotus Karma Fire first burns oneself. With such a domineering and terrifying flame, even among Dou Sheng experts, eight out of ten would perish."

"Are you... looking for death?" Huo Zhi suddenly turned her head and looked at the approaching Hun Tiandi, speaking sharply.

One should know how much hardship she had endured to find this flame of heaven and earth.

She hadn't expected that today, just as she was about to fulfill her wish, a young man who was only a One-star Dou Zong would suddenly appear.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire was definitely one of the most terrifying flames in the world, especially its properties, which were truly horrifying and dreadful.

It was terrifying to a frightening degree.

If one were to speak of having no karma, perhaps only a newborn infant would have none at all, but an infant would lack the strength to subdue the flame.

This was a deadlock.

Since Hun Tiandi began practicing the Blood Scripture, he had killed his way through, so his karma was definitely substantial. Once tainted, he would likely be immediately consumed by the karma fire.

But if he could withstand the tempering of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, there was no telling how powerful his body would become.

The treasure needed to suppress the Nether Blood Sea could be none other than the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire.

For this reason, even risking his life was worth it.

Without madness, one cannot live!

Opportunity and danger coexist. To obtain great power, one must experience unimaginable perils; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to slaughter the Hun Clan's people and sacrifice billions of lives in the Central Plains just to reach the legendary Dou Di realm.

He had not hesitated to slaughter the people of the Hun Clan and offer a blood sacrifice of the billions of living beings in the Central Plains.

It seemed that competing with Huo Zhi for the divine fire of heaven and earth was unavoidable.

Hun Tiandi was not an indecisive person. With such a top-tier divine fire before him, he wouldn't hesitate and naturally prepared to seize it without ceremony.

Buzz!

Not far away, an extremely domineering energy fluctuation emanated, and the karma fire atop the blood lotus surged frantically.

Red flames suddenly permeated Huo Zhi's body, enveloping her perfect figure and greatly diminishing the erosion of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Suspended in mid-air, the overwhelming flames swept out like a storm.

"This should be a powerful Earth Fire..." Hun Tiandi said softly.

The divine fire within Hun Tiandi's body stirred slightly, and he gave Huo Zhi a deep look.

Only two people present noticed: one was Huo Zhi, who wielded an Earth Fire, and the other was Tang Junyao, who possessed the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

"Quickly retreat! If the Red Lotus Karma Fire touches you, death is certain!"

Huo Zhi spoke to the experts of the Yan Clan, and their figures retreated rapidly, rushing toward the exit of the Blood River Ruins.

At this moment, whether they were Dou Zun or Dou Sheng, none dared to stay. Who could say they didn't have a shred of karma on them?

No one dared to take the risk!

Puchi!

Some unlucky ones with weaker movement techniques were too slow. Even if only a sliver of karma fire touched them, they were instantly turned into burning fireballs and reduced to ashes.

The eruption of the Red Lotus Karma Fire caused everyone present to retreat as if fleeing for their lives.

Not everyone escaped; that destructive energy burned those fellows into nothingness in almost an instant.

The number of experts who entered the Blood River Ruins was reduced by nearly seventy percent—more than half. A few lucky ones survived.

They stared blankly at the sea of fire below...

"Your Majesty should be fine, right?" On a mountain peak outside the Blood River Ruins were Liu Ling and Tian Xin.

"Don't worry, his life is tough!" Tian Xin said nonchalantly.

After entering the Blood River Ruins, the two had coincidentally met up and noticed that blood rivers were everywhere, emitting a thick stench and corrosion...

After taking a look around, the two came out to wait.

Now, they watched the experts fleeing frantically with blank stares, everyone silent.

"That was close..."

The moment the karma fire erupted, Hun Tiandi summoned a Deep Blue Flame to envelop his entire body. Before him was a thousand-zhang-sized crimson lotus flame.

Suddenly, the temperature between heaven and earth rose, and the blood river below began to burn, boiling violently.

Sensing the presence of a living being, the Red Lotus Karma Fire continuously released karma fire.

"Karma Fire Origin..."

A look of greed appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes. He raised his hand, enveloped in Deep Blue Flames, and reached toward the Karma Fire Origin.

Bang!

Just as he was about to succeed, a jade-like hand swept through the air. Vigorous Dou Qi energy rippled and swept toward him.

Puchi!

Hun Tiandi's figure was sent flying backward, blood spraying from his mouth. He fell heavily through the air, his aura becoming withered.

"A One-star Dou Zong dares to compete with this Saint for the divine fire? Truly overestimating yourself!"

Huo Zhi severely injured Hun Tiandi with a single palm strike, her expression full of disdain.

In the struggle between the two for the Karma Fire Origin, Huo Zhi was completely victorious.

Ceng...

The moment Hun Tiandi fell, the Deep Blue Flame protecting his body was directly shattered. The surging Red Lotus Karma Fire immediately turned into a swath of blood-colored flames.

It suddenly landed on Hun Tiandi, and this landing was like hot oil meeting a spark.

A flame rose and, at a speed visible to the naked eye, completely enveloped his entire body, submerging him in blood-colored flames.

Huo Zhi sneered. Hun Tiandi's entire body was covered in a kind of blood-colored flame.

This kind of flame was extremely terrifying, constantly erupting from the flesh, burning the body and the soul.

Wisps of scalding blood were reduced to nothingness within the intense flames at a visible speed.

This kind of flame was almost impossible to extinguish.

It burned every inch of flesh and every inch of soul, leaving nothing behind.

Hu!

"Red Lotus Karma Fire, this Saint is here!" Huo Zhi's eyes were filled with fanaticism, but her heart was cautious, knowing that to refine the Karma Fire Origin...

...one must accept the karma fire burning the body. Only if there isn't a shred of sin on one's body will the karma fire be extinguished.

Otherwise, even if the origin is right before one's eyes, it cannot be refined.
