849: Fusion of Divine Fire

"Die for this old man!!!!"

Just as this catastrophic disaster descended!

Yao Delong moved!

He didn't even spare a glance at the surging soul tide, merely raising his hands with extreme nonchalance.

In his left palm, the Great Sun Divine Flame leapt and rose; the golden flames contained the Divine Might to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas, along with the majestic Law of Life!

In his right palm, the Glazed Hearth Fire burned quietly; the nine-colored flames emitted a holy aura capable of purifying all things and cleansing Heart Demons!

Two peerless divine fires, completely different with opposing attributes yet both containing the power to destroy heaven and earth, were brought out by him at the same time, as if he were merely kneading toys!

"Void Derivation Pill Transformation Art, Fuse!"

Yao Delong shouted inwardly, his hands snapping together at a speed so fast they left afterimages, carrying a profound dao rhyme! Between his hands, the two divine fires—potent enough to make even Body Integration Cultivators keep their distance—collided, squeezed, and attempted to devour each other frantically!

Buzz—!

A terrifying energy fluctuation that caused heaven and earth to lose color and space to warp erupted instantly! Blinding light burst forth from between Yao Delong's fingers! The surrounding Void Realm let out a groan as if unable to bear the burden! Time was of the essence; facing a powerful enemy like Ghost-Faced Old Man, he couldn't achieve a perfect Fusion and could only forcefully knead and compress them!

Suddenly, he pulled his hands apart!

A fist-sized, dual-colored fire pill, with golden and white flames swirling frantically on its surface and violent energy raging within like an unstable sun, was formed! The moment the fire pill took shape, the ground beneath Yao Delong's feet silently sank, melted, and crystallized, forming a smooth, glazed deep pit! The mere leaking aura was enough to kill a Soul Transformation Cultivator!

"Insignificant tricks! Break for me!" Seeing Yao Delong trying to use a hastily condensed fire pill to resist his Ten Thousand Souls Ghostly Silence, Ghost-Faced Old Man let out a hideous and disdainful laugh! To him, this was nothing more than a deathbed struggle! His ghosts feared Yang Fire the most? What a joke! These ten thousand souls had long been refined by him using a secret method and contained Nine Nether Filth Qi; ordinary Yang Fire couldn't harm their foundation at all!

However, just as the overwhelming soul tide was about to devour Yao Delong!

A sharp glint flashed in Yao Delong's eyes, and his lips curled into a cold arc. He had no intention of taking the hit head-on!

"Go!" he shouted lowly, his left hand reaching out like lightning to grab the shoulder of the fully alert Old Black Mu!

At the same time!

Whoosh—!

A pair of massive, magnificent transparent light wings, composed entirely of countless flowing pale-silver spatial Law runes and seemingly condensed from the purest void energy, suddenly unfurled behind Yao Delong! The moment the light wings spread, a vast and boundless creation dao rhyme that transcended the spatial Law of this world and seemed capable of piercing through the myriad realms of the heavens surged forth!

creation dao artifact—taiyu flowing light wings!

"Space Leap!" Yao Delong's thought was like lightning!

Buzz—!

The light wings flapped just slightly, almost imperceptibly!

No violent spatial fluctuations! No blinding light! Not even a trace of a breeze!

The figures of Yao Delong and Old Black Mu—at the hundredth of a fraction of a second before the dual-colored fire pill containing destructive energy collided with the Ten Thousand Souls Tide—disappeared from the spot strangely and completely, as if erased from the picture by an eraser!

"What?!!!"

In the Void Realm, Zhu Wuneng's old face, hidden behind the filthy mist, revealed an expression of extreme horror and completely uncontrolled shock for the first time! He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, nearly jumping out of the spatial folds!

His Integration Realm Divine Sense, like the most precise detection Magic Treasure, instantly covered an area of nearly ten thousand miles! He searched frantically!

Nothing!

There was nothing!

No traces of spatial tearing! No fluctuations of a teleportation Formation! No trajectory of a high-speed escape! Those two people were as if they had never appeared in this world! Only the dual-colored fire pill emitting terrifying fluctuations and the Ten Thousand Souls Ghostly Tide about to strike remained!

"Inst... Instant space jump?! And it spanned at least... ten thousand miles?! Impossible! Even a Late Stage Body Integration expert pushing spatial escape techniques to the limit could never do this so silently! Unless it's a... space dao artifact?!" Zhu Wuneng felt his understanding completely overturned, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head! For the first time, he felt a dread-like wariness toward this mysterious Body Cultivator!

And below!

The hideous grin on Ghost-Faced Old Man's face froze completely, his eyes filled with nothing but incomprehensible emptiness and daze! Where were the people?! Where was his prey?! How were they gone?!

However, he no longer had time to think!

The dual-colored fire pill, having lost its target but still triggered by Yao Delong's origin power, exploded the moment the Ten Thousand Souls Ghostly Tide pounced on it!

Boom—!!!

That was no ordinary explosion!

It was a miniature sun, woven with destruction and creation, suddenly rising on the land outside River of Oblivion City!

A blinding, incandescent white light that defied description instantly swallowed everything! It was as if all the light in the world had been drained by that single point, compressed, and then released!

The heaven-incinerating power of the Great Sun Divine Flame and the purifying holy energy of the Glazed Hearth Fire underwent an unimaginable qualitative change after being forcefully combined! The collision and annihilation of two completely opposite extreme forces released a terrifying energy storm that far exceeded the Void Refining level and was even enough to threaten a Body Integration Cultivator!

"Ah—!!! My eyes!"

"It hurts—! My Primordial Spirit is burning!"

In the direction of River of Oblivion City a hundred miles away, countless low-level Cultivators wailed instantly, their eyes stinging and bleeding. Even with the city's protective Formation isolating them, the light piercing through space made their Primordial Spirits feel as if they were being pricked by needles and burned by fire!

"This is... what power is this?!" Shock filled Xin Yingying's exquisite face. "This is definitely not Old Zhu's doing... Could it be... Xuan Seven?! This person has actually hidden himself so deeply?!"

Ghost-Faced Old Man, at the core of the explosion, finally tasted true despair!

His pride and joy, the Ten Thousand Souls Ghostly Tide, under the illumination of that incandescent white light, was like snow meeting a scorching sun; they couldn't even let out a scream before they were instantly vaporized, purified, and dissipated into nothingness!

And the destructive shockwave, carrying high temperatures that incinerated all things and holy power that purified all filth, had already arrived!

"No—!!" Ghost-Faced Old Man let out a shrill, distorted roar! He felt an unprecedented threat of death! Frantically and recklessly, he brought out his last resort for survival—a high-grade heavenly artifact ancient tower, pitch-black, covered in ancient magic runes, and emitting an aura as heavy as a mountain!

Nine Nether Demon Transformation Tower!

Buzz!

The ancient tower instantly ballooned to a size of a hundred zhang, firmly protecting Ghost-Faced Old Man at its core!

However—

Psh! Boom!

The Nine Nether Demon Suppressing Tower, which was enough to withstand a full-strength strike from a Void Refining Perfection expert, let out a groan of being overburdened the moment it came into contact with the terrifying energy storm mixed with the Origins of the two divine fires! The tower's base was directly melted! On the supposedly indestructible tower walls, countless magic runes snapped and dissolved inch by inch as if they had met their natural enemy! It only lasted for less than a few breaths!
