543: Chapter 543 Regenerating Flesh from Bones, Body Separated from the Cauldron

Bang!

Huo Zhi withdrew the Earth Fire protecting her body, and in an instant, the Red Lotus Karma Fire enveloped her. Bloody flames wrapped around her as the karma on her body began to burn wildly.

The release of karma continuously incinerated her body. At this moment, both her physical form and her soul emitted a pain akin to death by a thousand cuts.

Within the ruins, Hun Tiandi and Huo Zhi were both undergoing the tempering of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Refining the Golden Body with Karma!

The flame of sin, the path to nirvana—this divine fire originated from the endless Nether Hell, fueled by sinful thoughts and karma.

Once touched, it would never extinguish until the sinful karma on one's body was completely dissipated.

In this world, only by crossing the tribulation of the karma fire can one wash away their sins and be reborn.

Thus, the Red Lotus Karma Fire is known as: the Fire of Atonement, the Flame of Retribution.

This is the terror of the karma fire. This flame ignores all power. It is as if life is a towering ancient tree, and karma is the dried-out parts of the trunk.

As long as it catches even a tiny spark, it will be ignited and burn rapidly.

Along with it, the moisture in the parts that haven't dried out yet will also be evaporated.

This is fuel generated from within oneself, making the Red Lotus Karma Fire burn even more vigorously.

It is unstoppable!

As Hun Tiandi's body burned, an indescribable pain continuously emerged from deep within his flesh and soul.

But he could not make a sound. The karma fire would not spare a single inch of him.

The life force within his flesh was being continuously incinerated.

Chunks of flesh on his body dissolved, revealing a frame of clanging Sword Bone with clearly visible sword patterns upon it.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire was incomparably overbearing; it intended to burn all sins entirely into ashes.

No matter how much vitality one had, it could not withstand the burning of the karma fire.

Since Hun Tiandi stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had killed countless beings along the way. All of that had turned into karma entangled around him, which now transformed into a raging karma fire.

It burned his flesh madly. With every breath, countless pieces of flesh were burned into nothingness. Simultaneously, his flesh continuously released vitality to surge against the karma fire.

The fuel for the Red Lotus Karma Fire was one's own karma. The duration of the fire also caused the karma to be continuously consumed.

Right now, there was only one choice: to endure it head-on.

As long as he could endure until the karma was completely burned away, the karma fire would extinguish; otherwise, he would turn into nothingness.

It all depended on using one's own life to resist.

"Planting a golden lotus within the fire, refining the golden body with karma. Come then, let me see if your Red Lotus Karma Fire can thoroughly obliterate me!"

As the karma fire covered him, he did not scream in pain. Instead, a hint of madness flickered in his expression...

Fortunately, back in the Nether Sea Forbidden Region, his skeleton had been shattered by the experts hunting him, and he had later used the Life Source Seed to temper his body.

At this moment, an endless vitality hidden within this body was being released continuously to resist the karma fire.

Within the karma fire!

His pitch-black long hair, once touched by the karma fire, began to burn, each strand resembling a scarlet dragon.

"Since I started cultivating, I, Hun Tiandi, have never feared anything. I cultivated Dou Qi, was hunted by the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and later offended the Pill Tower, Burning Flame Valley... and other first-rate forces. The magical beasts and human experts who have died by my hand are beyond count."

"Especially the magical beasts used to refine the ten thousand soul banner. If I dared to kill them, I dared to bury them. They couldn't do anything to me while alive, and now their karma wants to destroy me after death?"

How laughable and pathetic!

Hun Tiandi cultivated the Blood Scripture, nurtured the Blood God Child, refined the Blood Shadow Clone, and condensed the Nether Blood Sea. While the Dou Qi in his body increased, his karma was equally massive.

If it were any other powerhouse, their karma would likely not be as thick as his.

Now, Hun Tiandi remained intact, releasing his vitality to his heart's content to resist the karma fire.

But the vitality within his body was also being consumed. The burning of the karma fire grew increasingly fierce. Even with Hun Tiandi's powerful physique, the flesh on his body was being incinerated.

A day later, the karma fire on Hun Tiandi's body directly surfaced on his skin, no longer drilling into his flesh, but lingering like rootless duckweed.

It drifted outside his body.

The burning of the karma fire had actually ended?

Hun Tiandi, lying in mid-air, looked incredibly hideous. He was a frame of clanging Sword Bone with meridians appearing like a heavenly net, but his flesh had been forcibly dissolved away.

There was not a shred of flesh on his body, only a terrifying skeleton.

Jie jie jie!

Hun Tiandi laughed arrogantly and wildly. The cackling sound was extremely eerie, like an immortal skeleton stepping out of the Netherworld. If he were outside, it would surely cause a huge commotion.

At this moment, new flesh began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every piece of flesh radiated a crystalline shimmer.

The blood energy in his body was vigorous. This act of restoring flesh and regrowing skin on bone would consume the essence blood within his body.

The essence blood deep within his physique was being rapidly consumed to restore his physical body.

"This Red Lotus Karma Fire is truly overbearing. It's unavoidable and cannot be extinguished. If not for my vigorous vitality, I would have likely turned to ashes in the karma fire."

"This is an unsolvable divine fire. Jie jie jie, I managed to survive it after all!"

Hun Tiandi couldn't help but laugh as his long hair also began to restore itself.

His body returned to its original state, glowing with a crystalline light. Sword patterns flickered as strands of sharp aura traversed his skin.

Hun Tiandi's physique had already reached a new level.

He took a set of green robes from his storage ring and put them on, covering his powerful body. His gaze then fell upon Huo Zhi not far away.

Raging flames were burning, but it was the karma that was being incinerated.

"This is... the Body of the Li Cauldron?"

Hun Tiandi cried out in surprise. For such a composed person to lose his cool like this was rare.

The Body of the Li Cauldron was an extremely special constitution. A fire-attribute constitution that was one in ten thousand, belonging to one of the Nine Cauldrons.

Their hearts were called the Li Fire Heart, the source of their essence, granting them a natural talent for fire control.

He hadn't expected the Yan Clan's Huo Zhi to actually possess the Body of the Li Cauldron. No wonder she dared to collect the Red Lotus Karma Fire; she indeed had such a possibility.

So far, Hun Tiandi knew of other Nine Cauldron bodies: Lei Xuanji's Body of the Zhen Cauldron, Feng Qing'er's Body of the Kan Cauldron...

"Interesting!" Hun Tiandi showed a playful expression. Looking at the source of the karma fire before him, a crazy idea formed in his eyes.

He stopped paying attention to Huo Zhi, who was resisting the karma fire.

His brow furrowed slightly, and a clone appeared before him. Having undergone the tempering of the Tianshan Blood Pool, it had reached the Proficient level.

It was only one step away from Major Achievement.

He wanted to integrate the Red Lotus Karma Fire into the clone to compensate for the only flaw of the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body. In the future, anyone who dared to attack his soul clone would be tainted by the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Buzz!

He reached out and grabbed a wisp of the Red Lotus Karma Fire's source, letting it wrap around the clone. The clone trembled violently as he suppressed the temperature.

Driving the Qingyang Fire Control Technique, he allowed the soul clone to accept the tempering of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

As time passed, his soul power was consumed wildly. The illusory clone was becoming solid, but the speed was very slow.

This was because the soul clone had already accepted the tempering of the Killing Sword Intent and Destruction Sword Intent, even reaching the Proficient level.

Wisps of bloody flames slowly merged into the clone, giving the illusory figure more blood-colored patterns.

Buzz!

Huo Zhi also completely withstood the burning of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, revealing a fair and delicate body that would make any man lose his reason.

Fortunately, at this moment, Hun Tiandi had his eyes closed to temper his clone and had no time for anything else.

"Hmph, right now, refining the source of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is most important. I'll deal with him after I finish my seclusion..."

Huo Zhi snorted coldly and quickly put on a red dress. She reached toward the center of the blood lotus, grabbed the karma fire source, and swallowed it.

She sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, circulating her cultivation technique to refine the karma fire source.

Blood-colored flames emerged on her body, looking extremely enchanting.

Thump-thump!

Huo Zhi's heart beat strongly. The Body of the Li Cauldron sensed the source of the divine fire and released excitement, beginning to assist her in refining this flame.
