The flames once again cleared the area of black worms. Mofan was so tired that he could barely lift his hand. His energy was completely depleted, and his mind was extremely exhausted.
"Squeak squeak squeak ~"
The worms continued to swarm Mofan as soon as they were eliminated. They soon lunged at Mofan and tore at his flesh with their sharp teeth.
Even the flesh of the Demon Element was unable to withstand the attacks of so many worms. Mofan's skin was torn apart. Some of the smaller worms even dug into Mofan's flesh.
Mofan could no longer feel any pain. His body was as light as a feather, as if he was lying in a black universe, allowing the army of worms to devour him.
He had fought until the last moment. He just wanted to hug Xinxia one more time.
"Ling ~!"
As Mofan was swimming in the sea of black worms, a sorrowful cry echoed in his mind.
Mofan slowly opened his heavy eyes and saw a bright light. It was a little blinding, but it felt extraordinarily warm.
"This is …" Mofan murmured. When his blurred consciousness finally cleared up, he realized that the Goddess' Soul Shadow that had been fighting with him until the end had left him.
Her body was made of the flames of the Calamity. Her body was tall and slender. When Mofan finally reacted, the Soul Shadow had already flown above him. Mofan saw the Flame Belle Empress' body disintegrating under the blinding light.
"Little Flame Belle, no, don't do it, don't do it!" Mofan suddenly realized something. He almost screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Boom ~!"
The Flame Belle Empress rose to the highest point in the sky. The moment her body disintegrated, a huge explosion of Calamity Flames swept across the dark space.
The enormous flames spread across the place, producing a roar of flames. The black worms in the surroundings were burned into ashes before they could even touch the Calamity Flames.
Mo Fan clearly remembered the Fire of Calamity that he had experienced when he was heading to the North Burning Valley. The fire had burned down the entire desolate land, driving all the creatures that did not belong to the Fire Element out of the Burning Valley. The fire was truly a calamity.
When he saw Little Flame Belle's actions and how she had summoned the Fire of Calamity, Mo Fan finally realized that the Fire of Calamity did not originate from the Heavens and Earth, nor did it appear out of nowhere. It was Little Flame Belle's life!
It was Flame Belle who burned her own life.
Mofan could not even move a finger. He lifted his gaze and watched Little Flame Belle burning her life force. His eyes were trembling, yet he could not shed a single tear.
When one was overwhelmed by grief, they could not even cry. The enormous Calamity Flames gradually turned from a huge ring of flames to a divine flame that spread across the dark space. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of black worms were burned into ashes by the Calamity Flames. The surroundings were no longer filled with darkness and worms, but the Calamity Flames that burned Mofan's heart, the flames of destruction that Little Flame Belle's life had turned into.
Little Flame Belle did not have the time to bid farewell to Mo Fan. She turned into flames dancing in the sky and slowly drifted to the surroundings after eliminating the black worms. The flames were scorching and beautiful, like the stars in the sky being set ablaze. However, Mofan's heart was filled with coldness and sorrow that was surging like a river.
The rain was still pouring down on the City of Athens, washing away the blood, filth, and remains, yet it could not wash away the filth that had been deeply imprinted in the city.
The Dark Execution Ground had completely vanished, except for a puddle where the entrance to the Pool of Darkness used to be.
No one dared to go any closer. Only Pang Lai, Song Qiming, and the others were nearby. They were still staring at the closed entrance to Hell, unable to collect their thoughts for a long time.
"Huhuhuhu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, the ground was scorching hot. A magnificent flame burst out from the closed entrance to the Pool of Darkness. The flame soared into the sky within a few seconds, evaporating the rain and scattering the stormy clouds.
The sunlight shone upon the Acropolis of Athens, lighting up the icy city in an instant.
"This is …" Song Qiming was dumbfounded. He stared at the flame that had descended out of nowhere in disbelief.
The flame lasted for quite some time. The area within a hundred kilometers was bathed in its warm light, as if it were a real ceremony of the gods.
Finally, Song Qiming and Pang Lai both saw two figures emerging from the pillar of heavenly flames. They seemed to have arrived in this world from another plane through the pillar of heavenly flames.
"It's Mo Fan and Ye Xinxia!" Song Qiming was the first to yell.
Pang Lai found it hard to believe even though he was extremely excited.
Didn't the two of them fall into the Dark Hell? How were they able to return? Where did the unusual heavenly flames come from? They were many times purer, purer, and stronger than the flames Mo Fan normally unleashed.
Pang Lai and Song Qiming had countless questions, yet they still went up to save the two immediately.
Mo Fan carried Ye Xinxia and landed on the ground under Song Qiming and Pang Lai's protection.
The heavenly flames gradually extinguished after the two returned to the ground safely, as if they were escorting them. The place gradually calmed down.
Mo Fan placed Xinxia gently on the ground and asked Han Ji to treat her injuries. He went to where the pillar of heavenly flames had been extinguished.
"What happened?" Han Ji was about to ask.
Xinxia said softly, "It's Little Flame Belle, she sacrificed her life to summon the flames of the Calamity."
Pang Lai, Song Qiming, Han Ji, and Zhu Meng came to a realization. However, they were lost for words when they saw Mo Fan's sorrowful figure.
Song Qiming was the one who knew best. Little Flame Belle had grown up by Mo Fan's side. The little creature was full of intelligence, clingy, and mischievous. To his surprise, the old Magicians had failed to save Mo Fan and Xinxia in the battle of life and death, but Little Flame Belle had sacrificed her life instead.
Mo Fan went up to the spot and saw the remaining warmth on the ground. He also saw a tiny fiery leaf that was as light as a feather. It slowly fell to the ground when the heavenly flames disappeared.
Mo Fan carefully reached out his hands and held the fiery leaf that Little Flame Belle had left behind.
He placed it on his lips and kissed it gently. His heart felt like it was being torn apart. It was so painful that he was having trouble breathing.
"Brother Mo Fan," Xinxia's voice appeared behind him.
Han Ji helped Xinxia over. Xinxia placed her hands on the back of Mo Fan's hand and helped him to hold the fiery leaf.
"Let me hold her," Xinxia said.
Mo Fan raised his head. He was speechless, but he slowly handed the fiery leaf that Little Flame Belle had left behind to Xinxia.
Xinxia held the fiery leaf gently and slowly closed her eyes.
The light spread out from Xinxia's body like glittering powder. Xinxia was soon encapsulated by a magical glow. A blurry shadow of her soul was imprinted on Xinxia's back.
Her hair drifted in the wind, revealing Xinxia's perfect face. When she opened her eyes again, the look in her eyes had changed tremendously.
She was clearly Xinxia, yet her expression was so stern that it felt like she was a completely different person, especially her eyes. They did not belong to Xinxia at all.
"Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud!"
Xinxia's body was glowing. Gradually, she seemed to have merged with the light. Even though she was confused, she could clearly hear the sound of a heartbeat.
A tiny heart made of light floated out from Xinxia's chest and landed on Xinxia's hand, on the fiery leaf that Little Flame Belle had left behind.
The fiery leaf and the heart of light slowly merged into one. When the light gradually disappeared, the fiery leaf and the heart had turned into a fruit that Xinxia held in her hand.
"It's … it's the Resurrection Spell!"
"The Resurrection Spell!"
"She has the Resurrection Spell!"
The light of the Resurrection Spell was too unique. Every member of the Parthenon recognized it. Many Adjudicators and Guardian Knights had gathered around the area. They had witnessed Ye Xinxia using the Resurrection Spell and the Soul of the Parthenon Temple descending upon her.
However, who would have thought that a girl they assumed to be Salan, a girl that Hayla had dragged to the abyss of Hell, would have the Resurrection Spell!?
The Guardian Knights were initially eyeing Mofan and Xinxia covetously, but they immediately dropped to their knees and buried their heads in the ground after witnessing the scene.
The Adjudicators and the Mages of Faith behind them fell to their knees too. The believers in the Hall of Faith were astounded, too. Some of the old men who had witnessed the light of the Resurrection Spell bowed sincerely. Countless believers followed suit.
The pain of death was usually borne by the living. The only thing that could eliminate the pain was the Resurrection Spell of the Parthenon Temple!
"Brother Mofan!" Xinxia smiled. She never thought she would be able to wield the power of the Resurrection Spell, but she had never felt so relieved, as she had managed to save Little Flame Belle.
Mofan stared at the Calamity Fruit. His heart was pounding.
Little Flame Belle was born from the Calamity Fruit. In other words, Xinxia's Resurrection Spell had allowed Little Flame Belle to enter a new cycle of reincarnation!
"Brother Mofan, Little Flame Belle is still Little Flame Belle. She needs to be cleansed by the purest and strongest flames to truly be reborn," Xinxia carefully handed the Calamity Fruit back to Mofan.
Mofan held the Calamity Fruit in his hands. He could feel a burning sensation from the fruit. It was beating rhythmically, like a heart.
"Xinxia, you …" Mofan suddenly realized something. He raised his head and looked at Xinxia.
Xinxia smiled without a trace of impurity. She shook her head and said, "It's alright, we just share the same heart. I won't be by your side, but from today onward, no matter where you are, as long as Little Flame Belle is by your side, my heart will follow you. "
Her pace was very slow. She could never keep up with Mofan's running pace. Little Flame Belle had always been by Mofan's side. They went on adventures together, fought together, had fun together, and had sorrow together. Her heart no longer had to stay in a corner and worry for no reason.
