106: Chapter 103 Netherworld Soul Purification Fire
Hearing this, the look of curiosity on Lin Yan's face instantly deepened by a few fractions.
Carrying a trace of anticipation, with Electrolux, the master of the plane, present, the two of them arrived at their destination for this trip very quickly, moving at a speed akin to Teleportation.
At this moment, right in the center of the plane, a bottomless abyss so massive it chilled the heart lay horizontally across the land, as if a large chunk had been forcefully gouged out of the entire earth.
Hovering in mid-air, they looked down.
The edge of the abyss was grim and steep, and the interior was so pitch-black that even the deep purple halo of the black sun in the firmament could not illuminate it by even a fraction, resembling the open maw of an ancient giant beast capable of devouring all things.
Meeting Lin Yan's slightly inquiring gaze, Electrolux stood with his hands behind his back, his tone involuntarily carrying a hint of sentimentality stirred by the scene.
"Undead Half-Plane... Half-Plane..."
"The reason it carries the word 'Half' is precisely because the Law within this plane is incomplete, and the heaven and earth cycle is also imperfect."
"This also means that as time passes, dregs within the plane that cannot be obliterated by heaven and earth, such as lingering thoughts and turbid Qi, will only accumulate more and more."
"Considering this point, to prevent these dregs and filth from scattering and destroying or eroding the already fragile heaven and earth cycle of the plane, thereby accelerating the destruction and collapse of the plane—"
"When this old man originally opened up this Half-Plane, I purposely left this abyss at the center of the plane."
Raising his hand to point at the pitch-black abyss beneath his feet that could even swallow light, Electrolux continued in a calm voice, "You can think of it as a... plane garbage can."
"Throughout these countless years, all the filth and dregs produced by the entire plane that cannot be obliterated have been continuously gathered here, suppressed and bound within this abyss."
Hearing this, Lin Yan had already reacted long ago.
"Elder Yi, that thing you mentioned just now..."
"That's right, it is right down here."
"Follow this old man."
Electrolux nodded with a smile, then transformed into a stream of light, falling toward the ink-black abyss.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yan, who already had some guesses in his heart, quickly followed.
Shaking his Thunder-Fire Wings behind him, his entire person unhesitatingly plunged into the churning, turbid black Qi below.
The further down they sank, the denser the black Qi within the abyss became.
At first, it was just wisps of black smoke; further down, the black smoke condensed into an unresolvably thick mist, and even slowly coalesced into bizarre, ferocious forms baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
Besides this, from all directions, there were also continuous wisps of whispering murmurs and distorted wails, carrying a chaotic intent of destruction and madness, attempting to invade his consciousness.
At this moment, the entire abyss seemed brewed into a living mortal nether prison.
Feeling those increasingly chaotic and harsh frantic murmurs, Lin Yan slightly furrowed his brows.
Fortunately, the next moment, Electrolux's Divine Sense quietly surged over, completely shielding him from all of this.
Not knowing how long they had been sinking, the two finally reached the deepest part of the abyss.
There was no longer any light here, only filthy dregs as thick as pitch-black sludge slowly rolling and writhing at the bottom of the abyss, emitting a filthy, destructive aura that made one nearly driven mad.
However, right amidst this filthy dreg that had accumulated for countless years in the entire plane—the most intolerable and decadent—there was unexpectedly a pale fire lotus rooted in the sludge, unstained by even a speck of dust, quietly stretching its petals and leaves!
Its entire body was condensed from pure, cold-toned white flames, its petals stacked layer upon layer, lifelike.
The cold flame light quietly leaped on the petals, silently isolating and purifying the rolling pitch-black sludge all around, propping up a sacred pure land at the extremely filthy bottom of the abyss!
Gazing at this white-flamed pure lotus that emerged from the sludge without being stained in the slightest, an unmaskable pleasant surprise instantly surfaced on Lin Yan's face.
Heavenly Flame!
What a miraculous Heavenly Flame!
That's right!
The white lotus before his eyes looked like a lotus flower, but its essence was precisely a true Heavenly Flame of heaven and earth!
Unlike the ice lotus back then in the Extreme North that nurtured the Extreme Cold Mysterious Ice Fire—this white lotus itself was the body of the Heavenly Flame!
"How is it? Are you still satisfied with this item?"
Hearing Electrolux's voice, Lin Yan only then reluctantly pulled his gaze away from that white lotus Heavenly Flame.
A heartfelt smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he heavily nodded.
"Satisfied!"
"I couldn't be more satisfied."
Seeing this, Electrolux nodded slightly, clapping his hands and laughing, "Hahaha, as long as you are satisfied."
"Before coming in, this old man never expected that this Undead Half-Plane of mine could actually nurture such a Heavenly Flame."
"Elder Yi, does this Heavenly Flame have a name?"
Hearing this, Electrolux did not hesitate and gently uttered four words: "Nether Soul Purification Fire."
"According to the feedback I obtained from the plane Origin, its name is Nether Soul Purification Fire!"
Lin Yan silently recited this name twice in his heart.
Right at this moment, after a pause, Electrolux's slightly astonished voice continued to sound.
"Although this Nether Soul Purification Fire carries a bit of death and Soul attributes, its most primary characteristic is purification!"
"According to my speculation, its birth was perhaps influenced by some of the sacred purifying intent I left behind when I originally created the plane."
"Over the long years of the past, accompanying the autonomous evolution of this Half-Plane, it was born in response to the times to perfect the heaven and earth cycle of the plane."
"Perhaps, if no one interfered, one day as the Undead Half-Plane evolves into a main plane, this Heavenly Flame would truly become a part of heaven and earth, transforming into a World fire that purifies the dregs of the World!"
Hearing this, before Lin Yan could speak, Electrolux seemed to see through his concerns, gently shook his head, and chuckled.
"It doesn't matter."
"Since this old man brought you here, this Heavenly Flame is naturally intended to be left for you."
"Not to mention whether this Half-Plane can cross that natural chasm in the future to become a true main plane."
"Even if there is truly such a shred of possibility, the time span for its natural evolution would be at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years."
"With such long years, the variables within it are simply too many."
"So, there's no need to keep it for that illusory possibility."
"As for this Heavenly Flame, you can just absorb it."
Hearing this, although Electrolux said it casually and lightly, Lin Yan still solemnly restrained his expression and sincerely thanked him, "Many thanks, Elder Yi!"
After all, when all is said and done, since this Heavenly Flame was born from Electrolux's Undead Half-Plane, it was naturally his own possession.
And since Electrolux was willing to bestow it upon him, Lin Yan could not pretend not to see it and had to accept this favor.
Seeing Lin Yan being so solemn, the gratification in Electrolux's heart grew a few fractions heavier.
"Brat Yan, do you plan to refine this Heavenly Flame right now, or come back another day?"
"You don't need to worry about safety issues."
"I dare not say anything else, but now within this Undead Half-Plane, with this old man here, I will absolutely not let any mishap happen to you."
