Although there were no more flames, the surrounding temperature and gravity were still normal. It was no different from the outside world.
However, that ball of fire and Xiao Lingyu's surroundings were protected by countless fiery lights. Xiao Lingyu couldn't easily retreat.
"It seems that the key to the problem lies with you," Xiao Lingyu said calmly as she stared at the ball of flames.
Waiting was not a solution. After observing for a while, Xiao Lingyu braced herself and walked toward the ball of flames.
The closer she got to the ball of flames, the stranger Xiao Lingyu felt because there were two completely different auras coming from it.
Sensing it carefully, Xiao Lingyu was very familiar with one of the auras. It was the pure aura of the demonic flames.
As for the other aura, Xiao Lingyu was not very familiar with it. However, she could tell that it was a pure ice-type aura.
Moreover, there were some fluctuations of immortal spiritual power in the ice-type aura.
The demonic flames obviously came from that ball of flames, while the icy aura that carried the immortal aura definitely came from that treasure within the flames. The attributes of the two were polar opposites, yet at this moment, Xiao Lingyu could imagine that this ball of demonic flames, which was more invasive, wanted to refine or corrode that icy treasure, or suppress or seal it.
After getting closer, Xiao Lingyu could clearly see the shape of the ice-type treasure in the demonic flames. It was a diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a palm.
"Ice Marrow?!"
Xiao Lingyu's heart trembled because the appearance of the crystal was exactly the same as the Ice Quintessence.
Xiao Lingyu had once obtained a piece of Ice Marrow in the Cultivation World's Feiyu Continent. However, that piece of Ice Marrow was worlds apart from this one.
The Ice Marrow in the Cultivation World was the essence of ice in the Cultivation World. Its value and quality were comparable to immortal treasures. However, the Ice Marrow here was comparable to a godly treasure.
No wonder the layer of ice above was so solid and the temperature so low. It turned out that there was a piece of Ice Marrow below.
Even though the Ice Marrow was wrapped in demonic flames, it could faintly emit a cold air. It could form a layer of ice that was comparable to a supreme-grade demonic weapon. One could imagine how high its quality was.
As for the gravitational force, it was most likely caused by the battle between the Ice Essence and the Demonic Flame.
It was precisely because of this that the two high-grade existences were fighting and suppressing each other that the surroundings were so peaceful.
In the process of their battle, the energy that leaked out, or the special effects that formed, would only manifest when they were a certain distance away.
Very soon, Xiao Lingyu was less than ten meters away from the Devil Flames. The flames, which had been emitting strange cries from time to time, had all quieted down.
The flames seemed to be very nervous at this moment, even more so than Xiao Lingyu.
However, Xiao Lingyu did not know what to do at this moment. Regardless of whether it was the Demonic Flame or the Frost Essence, if they were sentient existences, Xiao Lingyu would not dare to provoke either of them. The power of these two existences was at least comparable to that of an early stage Honorable Realm powerhouse.
However, if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to leave this place.
Xiao Lingyu stood in front of the Demonic Flame for a long time. In the end, he made up his mind and poured his power into the Silver Moon Broken Sword. Then, a rainbow-colored fire bird pounced out and flew towards the Demonic Flame.
The rainbow-colored fire bird's power was definitely stronger than any supreme-grade demonic weapon. It was also stronger than those quasi-divine weapons. As for whether it could compare to a real divine weapon, Xiao Lingyu did not know.
As if feeling the threat from the rainbow-colored fire bird, the Demonic Flame suddenly released a wave of fire. The wave of fire quickly turned into a fire snake and tangled with the rainbow-colored fire bird. In the end, they both dissipated at the same time.
The Demonic Flame was actually able to easily block the rainbow-colored fire bird's attack. And from the fact that it could block it, it could be seen that it did indeed have a consciousness.
Just as the rainbow-colored fire bird dissipated, the Demonic Flame actually shot out another fire snake. In the blink of an eye, it had already pounced in front of Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu did not have time to activate the Silver Moon Broken Sword to release the rainbow-colored fire bird again. However, the six Demon Suppressing Immortal Orbs had already formed a Divine Light Sword and slashed towards the fire snake.
The Divine Light Sword's attack power was only slightly stronger than that of a supreme-grade demonic weapon. Naturally, it could not block the fire snake and could only weaken its power.
The weakened fire serpents were then dispersed by the Chaotic Demonic Seal that Xiao Lingyu had unleashed.
But then, in an instant, seven fire snakes appeared again, making Xiao Lingyu's scalp tingle.
Blocking one fire snake required all his strength. Xiao Lingyu estimated that he would not be able to block all seven of them together.
Before the seven fire snakes could pounce out, the demonic flame suddenly shook, and waves of icy cold aura surged out from within.
The Ice Essence was trembling violently in the Demonic Flame, causing the Demonic Flame to tremble.
It was obvious that the Demonic Flame's attack on Xiao Lingyu had weakened its power to suppress the Ice Essence. The Ice Essence was trying to break free.
The Ice Essence's resistance caused the Demonic Flame to tremble violently. The seven fire snakes were unable to attack Xiao Lingyu and quickly returned to the Demonic Flame.
From this, it could be seen that the Demonic Flame was only slightly stronger than the Ice Essence. If it split its power, it would be difficult to continue suppressing the Ice Essence.
When the seven fire snakes disappeared, Xiao Lingyu let out a long sigh of relief.
The reason he attacked was not to help the Ice Essence break free, but to change the situation a little and find an opportunity to leave.
The Ice Essence seemed to have found an opportunity to break free. It kept pulsing in the Demonic Flame, causing the Demonic Flame to constantly change shape.
Xiao Lingyu hesitated for a moment, but still decided to help the Ice Essence. Thus, the Silver Moon Broken Sword shot out another rainbow-colored fire bird.
The Demonic Flame then split off a fire snake to block it.
The fire snake and the rainbow-colored fire bird collided and dissipated at the same time.
Xiao Lingyu continued to shoot out rainbow-colored fire birds and even used the Primal Chaos Devil Seal to support his attacks …
In this way, Xiao Lingyu's rainbow-colored fire birds could continuously consume the Demonic Flame's power, and the Ice Essence pulsed more and more violently.
The Demonic Flame had some consciousness after all. It knew that if this continued, it would be very disadvantageous to itself. However, it did not have a good solution. When it was certain that it could no longer suppress the Ice Essence, it took the initiative to abandon the Ice Essence and turned into a fire snake that pounced towards Xiao Lingyu.
In the Demonic Flame's view, the reason it could not suppress the Ice Essence was because of this human cultivator causing trouble. Thus, it had to kill this human cultivator first.
Xiao Lingyu found it difficult to block a few fire snakes, so it was even more impossible for Xiao Lingyu to block the entire Demonic Flame.
First, he shot out rainbow-colored fire birds, then used the six Devil Suppressing Immortal Orbs to help block it, then he shot out the Primal Chaos Devil Seal …
It was a pity that these attacks, which no Demon Monarch level expert dared to underestimate, were completely useless in front of the Demonic Flame. The moment they came into contact with the Demonic Flame, they were immediately destroyed, and the Demonic Flame's power did not decrease in the slightest as it continued to advance.
"It's over this time!"
As the heat wave rushed towards him, Xiao Lingyu actually felt a sense of despair.
Before the Demonic Flame could wreak havoc on Xiao Lingyu's body, the Ice Essence that had just regained its freedom released a wave of cold mist that swept towards Xiao Lingyu at the same time.
One cold and one hot, acting on Xiao Lingyu's body at the same time, the two quickly neutralized, and Xiao Lingyu was completely unharmed.
"This Ice Essence still has some conscience!"
Xiao Lingyu found that he was unharmed and praised happily.
At this moment, the Demonic Flame and the cold mist enveloped Xiao Lingyu's body at the same time, but he did not feel anything strange at all. However, he did not dare to move recklessly.
As for the sentient flames that were originally surrounding the area, after a series of strange cries, they all rushed towards Xiao Lingyu.
However, what made Xiao Lingyu feel a little strange was that after these flames rushed over, they all strengthened the Ice Essence's power and did their best to suppress the Demonic Flame.
Although these flames did not have much of an effect on the Demonic Flame, there were too many of them. As they came one after another, they could also help the Ice Essence counter the Demonic Flame.
After a full four hours, all of the flames were wiped out by the Demonic Flame, but at this moment, countless amounts of cold mist surged over, still aiding the Ice Essence.
The ground was collapsing, and the thick layer of ice on the ground was rapidly melting. Waves of cold energy continuously gathered towards the Ice Essence.
The cold aura around Xiao Lingyu grew thicker and thicker, while the fiery aura grew weaker and weaker. The Demonic Flame saw that the situation was unfavorable and immediately wanted to escape from Xiao Lingyu's body. Unfortunately, the surroundings were already surrounded by boundless cold energy. The dense cold energy continuously surged over, making it impossible for the Demonic Flame to escape.
The Demonic Flame probably did not expect that after so many years of painstakingly suppressing the Ice Essence, it would be suppressed and sealed in the end.
As for the Ice Essence, it was more like it had been enduring patiently for many years. Previously, it had been painstakingly waiting for a counterattack. Once it counterattacked, it would be as powerful as a thunderbolt.
Xiao Lingyu's appearance and Xiao Lingyu's attack on the Demonic Flame seemed to have given the Ice Essence an opportunity. Perhaps it had also awakened the Ice Essence's fighting spirit.
No matter how hard the Demonic Flame struggled, it was futile. Boundless waves of cold continuously surged over, firmly locking it in place, unable to move an inch.
Fortunately, the Demonic Flame had always been around Xiao Lingyu. Otherwise, the cold energy from the Ice Essence would definitely have frozen his body in an instant.
However, the Ice Essence's power was too strong at this time. The strange cold had already suppressed the Demonic Flame's high temperature. Xiao Lingyu also felt that the surroundings were too cold. Even though he was surrounded by the Demonic Flame, his body was still covered in frost.
As a result, Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to once again circulate the Primal Chaos True Fire to raise the temperature of his body.
The Ice Essence continuously spewed out waves of cold mist, continuously whittling away the Demonic Flame's power. With the boundless cold energy supporting the Ice Essence, the Ice Essence did not seem to be consumed much, but the Demonic Flame was growing weaker and weaker.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu could see clearly that the Ice Essence was not trying to help him deal with the Demonic Flame's threat. Instead, it did not want the Ice Essence to escape … The Ice Essence also wanted to refine the Demonic Flame.
