The icy blue flame burned and danced in the water bowl.
In a small wooden house, under the dim light, two tall figures sat facing each other, calmly staring at the bowl of water in front of them.
There was a bowl of water on the table, filled with clear, clean water. A small ice-blue flame was burning at the bottom of the water.
"This is the Water of Clear Faith?" the man on the left asked in a low voice.
"You can choose not to drink," the person opposite him said casually.
The man was silent for a moment, then slowly reached out and picked up the bowl on the table. "My body and soul have been separated for too long. You know it's impossible for me to not drink."
"Of course, you just don't trust me," the man replied calmly. "I've already brought you the water, so we don't owe each other anymore. Don't even think about doing it half-heartedly again. Whether I can pass or not will depend on the will of the heavens. "
The man knew what he meant when he said that.
After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded.
"I know. If there's an accident, I will cooperate with you."
The person on the other side raised his head, and his face that was hidden in the shadows gradually revealed itself under the faint light. It was a hideous face covered with countless earthworms.
A large number of worms crawled in and out of her nostrils, mouth, ears, and the corners of her eyes. From time to time, it would emit a thin, slippery sound of friction.
It was obvious that she was a woman, and that she had once been a beautiful woman, but whatever she had been, it was all in the past.
"We've been hiding for so many years and we still haven't found out who the leader of the Black Society is. Do you think it's worth it?"
The man pursed his lips. "I'm doing this for revenge. It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not. What about you?"
"I …? Maybe it's worth it. " The woman shook her head. "The Five Weapon Grandmasters of the Great Yin, the Four Pillars of the Devil World, the Black Society, and the Three Sacred Gates. Now that the Great Yin was in chaos, even if they knew something, they couldn't do anything about it. The Devil World had nothing to do with this side, so they would probably just watch from the sidelines. If the Black Gang really wants to make a move, the only one who can do it is the Three Sacred Gates. This is the best time for us. "
The man shook his head. "The Three Saints will not act."
"Hehe." The woman laughed. "Do you think I'll believe that?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What's important is that the result won't change." The man raised his head and drank all the water in the bowl.
Bang.
He put down the bowl, stood up, pushed open the wooden door, and slowly left.
…
Autumn Moon County, Thousand Sun Palace.
Lu Sheng's body floated in the air, and a black flame quietly floated in front of him. There was a touch of faint gold dancing in the flame.
The golden light transformed into countless golden threads that kept darting about within the flames. During this process, the golden thread would slowly seep out from the black flames and condense into a golden feather in the air.
At first, the feather was only the size of a fingernail. As the golden threads continued to seep out, the golden feather grew larger and larger. In the end, it was as long as a palm.
After an unknown amount of time.
Lu Sheng had finally completely separated the Eight-Headed Golden Flame from the Yin Fire. However, there were still countless Eight-Headed Golden Flames in his body mixed with the Yin Fire. The Yin Fire was his core technique. Mixing it with the Yin Fire actually meant that it had mixed with the Yang Essence in Lu Sheng's body.
Although the power of the Eight-Headed Golden Flame was not bad, and mixing it with Yang Essence actually increased Lu Sheng's power.
However, this in turn caused him to be unable to continue on his path ahead. It was mixed and impure, unable to progress any further. This had already become a rock that was blocking Lu Sheng's path.
"It's a pity … the Eight-Headed Golden Flame isn't a core technique that I derived using Deep Blue. Otherwise, I could use this to absorb the Eight-Headed Griffon's flame power to strengthen myself." Lu Sheng felt the pinch of extracting the Eight-Headed Golden Flame.
However, this thing was obtained by accident. No matter how powerful Deep Blue was, and how it could use Mental Energy to derive any technique, this Eight-Headed Golden Flame didn't even have a basic technique. No one knew what system it was derived from.
Helpless, Lu Sheng could only give up.
After separating the Eight-Headed Golden Flame from the ball of Yang Essence, Lu Sheng raised his hand and pointed again.
The remaining black Yin Fire burned with a whoosh, and spun rapidly according to the basic technique of the Eight-Headed Mental Technique.
"Done …" With a thought from Lu Sheng, the Infinity Technique's frame flashed on Deep Blue's interface. It temporarily separated the advanced version of the Yin Fire, the Eight-Headed Mental Technique. It formed a separate frame.
'Back then, when I deduced this thing to the Law stage, I ran out of energy. Let's see how far I can go this time.' Lu Sheng took a deep breath. His consciousness suddenly pressed the modify button under the Eight-Headed Mental Art.
"Hiss."
Deep Blue trembled slightly, and a derive button appeared behind the Eight-Headed Mental Technique. Without any delay, Lu Sheng focused his mind, and pressed the button lightly.
The entirety of Deep Blue trembled, and the black flame in front of Lu Sheng began to dance violently.
The entire black flame shrank, and condensed into a ball the size of a fingernail. A dark red winged serpent slowly appeared in the center.
Vast amounts of Mental Energy exploded in Lu Sheng's mind, turning into a formless power that caused the Yin Fire on the level of the Eight-Headed Mental Pearl to undergo a strange change.
The Mental Energy was like fuel, and the Yin Fire was something being roasted. There seemed to be something invisible in the air that was continuously adding Yin Fire.
The black Yin Fire flickered like ink, and its temperature rose rapidly. The faintly glowing runes on the heat-insulating formation in the secret room began to extinguish one by one.
The terrifying heat began to melt the surrounding walls and ground.
As Mental Energy was expended, Deep Blue used the knowledge system and martial arts system in Lu Sheng's mind to quickly derive the next and stronger form of the Yin Fire.
The Yin Fire twisted, and gradually formed a pitch black whirlpool. The center of the whirlpool sunk inwards, and formed a pitch black passageway that led to an unknown place.
White smoke rose from Lu Sheng's body. His body couldn't take it anymore, and the temperature of the flames had already risen to over a hundred thousand degrees. And it was still rising rapidly.
This was Yin Fire, not an open flame that relied purely on heat to burn its enemies. In Yin Fire, heat was only a part of its power. Its more powerful aspect was actually the burning of the spirit. This strange flame that was first born from visualization was the flame of one's soul. It was extremely destructive to things like ghosts and spirits. Burning physical objects was secondary.
Finally, after more than twenty thousand units of Mental Energy, the Yin Fire gradually stopped changing. The Yin Fire had now turned dark purple, and the outline of a human face could be faintly seen. A long black tail trailed behind it, which was the pit formed by the pitch-black flames earlier.
The ball of Yin Fire looked similar to the special effect of the Devil Body when he first cultivated Devil Arts.
"Compared to before, this increase in power is much stronger." A hint of joy flashed across Lu Sheng's face. He reached out, and touched the human-faced black fire with his smoking hand.
The temperature of nearly two hundred thousand degrees suddenly shrank when his skin sensed it. The human-faced black fire seemed to be alive, and withdrew its heat on its own, allowing Lu Sheng to touch it.
Lu Sheng could feel the special connection between himself and the Human-faced Black Calamity before him.
"I've used up too much Mental Energy. It won't be enough to derive the next basic method. I'll start eliminating the hidden danger of the Eight-Headed Golden Flame now. "He reached out and held the human-faced Yin Fire.
The ball of black fire suddenly burrowed into his palm, and traveled through the blood vessels and meridians in his arm. Wherever the black fire went, the meridians and blood vessels were overwhelmed, and there was even a slight burning pain.
Lu Sheng could clearly feel his Mental Energy being depleted again, and the damage to his body was quickly repaired. This was because the derivation was not complete. After the derivation of the Yin Fire, it was only a small ball. To use this small ball of Yin Fire, his entire body needed to be modified. This was the key to eliminating the Eight-Headed Golden Flame by Lu Sheng.
All the Yang Essence in his body was corroded by the human-faced black fire, and turned into the same pitch-black flame.
The difference between the Yang Essence and the upgraded human-faced black fire was obvious. Without any resistance, the Yang Essence in Lu Sheng's body was completely modified.
"Open!"
Suddenly, Lu Sheng let out a low roar, and his entire body exploded into balls of black fire. The flames enveloped him, and quickly dissipated.
Under the flames, his body had completely transformed into a human-shaped monster with Yin and Yang combined.
Under the burning and modification of the black fire, Lu Sheng could not help but quickly enter the Yin and Yang combined state. He used this state to perfectly heal his body, and resisted the complete modification of his body by the human-faced black fire.
As time passed, Lu Sheng endured the intense pain and floated silently in the air. Every once in a while, thin golden threads would float out of his mouth and nose.
These golden threads continuously gathered together and weaved into a brilliant golden feather.
Two hours passed, four hours passed …
Time passed quickly, and finally, at midnight, the modification of the black fire was complete.
"Bam."
Lu Sheng's entire body fell to the ground, and he knelt on one knee.
He could feel that the Yang Essence in his body had completely transformed into pitch-black black fire, but because of the Infinity Technique's disguise, the black fire returned to its golden color.
His entire body, including his internal organs, flesh, muscles, and bones, had been completely transformed. After all, the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way used yin fire as its foundation. With the increase in yin fire, all of Lu Sheng's systems were greatly improved.
"Heh … it's done … my body is stronger, more resistant to fire, and I've gained another organ …" Lu Sheng reached out to touch the sides of his throat. Two cyst-like things had grown there at some point.
Something that even he felt was extremely dangerous was churning inside.
The cyst was not big, so when he lowered his head, it was naturally covered up. It was very well hidden.
"The yin fire I've derived this time has completely surpassed the scope of yin fire. It comes from yin fire, but it's terrifyingly hot as open fire. This black fire should be renamed Death Blaze. "
Light and Death were homophonic. Lu Sheng watched as the Infinity Technique's special effect on Deep Blue's interface changed its name to Death Blaze. He smiled slightly.
After recovering some of his strength, he sat up straight again and looked at the Eight-Headed Golden Flame that had been forced out.
A total of four golden feathers slowly floated in front of him. Including the one he had obtained before, there were five Eight-Headed Golden Flames in total.
Every single golden feather hid a terrifying and dangerous heat. Lu Sheng did not know how powerful this thing was, but since it came from the Eight-Headed Griffon, its power would not disappoint him.
