CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 300: MYSTERIOUS FLAME, FEN YOU!

"Still struggling so desperately? Get down here!"

Erxiwei sneered hideously, stretching out his big foot at a speed faster than light that landed on Wang Xu. The dark red blood hand was already difficult for Wang Xu to resist, and Erxiwei’s kick made his body uncontrollable, sending him flying backward.

"Erxiwei, I will kill you, definitely!" Wang Xu’s eyes were about to burst, he roared out, a deep hatred flashed in his eyes. He detested this feeling of betrayal the most, as if countless knives were stabbing his heart, the pain akin to dripping blood, igniting a flame within Wang Xu’s chest.

"If you can survive and escape the ’Fallen Sword Abyss,’ come and seek revenge then! Haha..." Erxiwei laughed wildly, watching Wang Xu’s powerless body being flung, launched over ten thousand kilometers away in an instant, and couldn’t be bothered to waste words with a dying man, turning away and leaving.

"Swordfish!"

"Curved Moon!"

Eighty-one Black Copper Plates quickly gathered into a black swordfish, swiftly slicing and wrapping around the Snow Beast on Wang Xu. Two Curved Moon Flying Sabers were equally relentless, piecing into a fan-like shape, spinning madly in cuts. But as Wang Xu’s form went deeper, more blood hands wound around, and the swordfish and Curved Moon were simply unable to shake off the blood hands.

Couldn’t afford to care so much, Master Wang Xu flew out from the Mixed Cosmos space, brilliant glaring golden light, a single slash severed and annihilated all the entwining blood hands.

"Good chance, go!" The Holy Statue and Master both saw this moment and suddenly burst with maximum speed, attempting to escape.

Woo~~~~

Suddenly, a sinister and icy voice drifted from afar, the island instantly blanketed by a dark red thick mist, covering the sky and earth.

Swish, swish, swish!

One after another, as if real blood hands reached out from the dark red mist, rapidly grasping at the Master and Holy Statue.

"Golden Stone!" The Double-Headed Dragon Slash erupted again in dazzling golden light, filling the heavens and earth, the Heaven-Fearing God Realm’s power unleashed completely, shattering inch by inch of the void, and the sky full of blood hands was directly extinguished.

But even as Wang Xu eliminated one swarm, another emerged from the dark red mist, and this wave was much stronger in speed and power than the last one!

"Never-ending, endless! Moreover, the strength of these blood hands keeps rising." Wang Xu’s expression was grim, these blood hands were extremely fragile under his attack, breaking with a single hit, yet regenerated madly as if eternal, while their power steadily grew.

The enemies grew stronger, as he was left helpless, this was a death trap!

The two kept bursting forth at their fastest speed to leave the island, while warding off the sky full of blood hand attacks.

However, a blood light beam with a million kilometers diameter shot straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds, whatever the blood light swept across, turned into ashes.

Wang Xu was shocked, dared not to approach, the blood light bore a concentrated sin so terrifying, it could destroy everything it touched.

Boom!

Wang Xu just wanted to change course, but on the other side also surged up this gigantic blood-colored light beam.

Boom, boom, boom!

One after another, enormous blood-colored light beams rose to the sky, forcefully forming a blood-colored cage that confined Wang Xu within.

"These blood-colored light beams are closing in on me!" Wang Xu’s pupil shrunk sharply, discovering the enormous blood-colored beams moving slowly, squeezing his living space.

Wang Xu tried to leave through the gaps between the blood-colored beams.

Bang!

Yet he merely touched by the overflowing blood-red mist, and Wang Xu’s arms directly shattered into a cloud of blood mist, his flesh rapidly repaired, Wang Xu’s face was unpleasant, his form violently retreated.

Couldn’t break through, the Holy Statue and Master both sooner or later would be annihilated under these blood-colored beams.

Cold sweat dripped down, Wang Xu’s mind raced, pondering the way to break the situation.

Suddenly——

"You’ve triggered the Forbidden Array of Fallen Sword Abyss, staying here means certain death, drill down below."

The sudden voice startled Wang Xu, he jerked, looking around.

"Who is it!" Wang Xu’s nerves were taut, an unprecedented alertness rising. It was too bizarre; besides the sacred statue and himself, there was unexpectedly a third person here, and the key point was that he was completely unaware. Clearly, this person’s strength was absolutely superior to his!

"It’s me." The voice was very calm, making Wang Xu feel a hint of familiarity, yet he couldn’t recall exactly where he had heard it...

Mysterious Flame!

Wang Xu exclaimed with surprise, feeling more joy than shock in his heart!

The Mysterious Flame was the greatest aid that allowed Wang Xu to set out on the path of a strong individual. It had merged with Wang Xu, yet there had never been any communication. In Wang Xu’s heart, the grace of the Mysterious Flame was something he could never repay in this lifetime, and now, hearing the voice of his "benefactor," Wang Xu could not help but feel excited and thrilled.

Whoosh!

The Mysterious Flame emerged from Wang Xu’s body, hovering before him, gradually outlining a human-sized form.

The sleeve of black robe flicked, the flames dispersed, revealing a tall, ethereal white-haired man. His gaze flickered with flames; his black robe seemed ignited by those flames, flickering and burning without causing the robe any harm.

"You... you are the True Spirit of the Mysterious Flame!" Wang Xu was both shocked and delighted.

The white-haired man nodded gently and said: "My name is ’Fen You.’ This is not the Mysterious Flame, but a wisp of Indestructible Fire extracted from the Ganges River by ’Qing Fa the Great Emperor,’ nurtured through endless ages, and birthed into the Fire of the Great Emperor."

"Qing Fa the Great Emperor? Who is this person?" Everything Fen You said felt unfamiliar to Wang Xu—what Qing Fa the Great Emperor, what Ganges River, what Indestructible Fire... everything he’d never even heard of.

"His existence to you is far too distant." Fen You sighed lightly, his gaze filled with reminiscence. "Qing Fa the Great Emperor was my first master, unmatched and unrivaled. His strength exceeds what you could imagine... However, my second master has some connection to you—no, should be said, has a connection to the entire ’Ancient Luo’ Cosmos."

"Second master? Who is he?" The more Fen You spoke, the more questions arose in Wang Xu’s heart. He picked out the most crucial one to ask.

"He is ’Qu Yao Saint Venerable.’ During that Ancient Luo Cosmos’s cosmic battle, if it hadn’t been for him stepping forward, right now the force controlling the entire Ancient Luo Cosmos would have been the Dark Holy Banquet."

Wang Xu’s pupils suddenly contracted!

It was him!

That cosmic battle—Wang Xu did not participate personally, but had heard many people mention it.

Wang Xu even saw fragmented scenes of that great battle between slumber and wake: two terrifying figures battling within the cosmos, shattering it to pieces...

"Back then, Qu Yao was merely a passerby in Ancient Luo. His realm reached a bottleneck requiring extreme insight, allowing him to truly breakthrough, so he traveled countless universes... You need not be surprised, the outer Cosmos is merely one of countless ones, derived from Chaos, and is an accessory to Chaos, while the universe you reside in is called Ancient Luo." Fen You explained, looking at Wang Xu.

"Qu Yao stayed in Ancient Luo Cosmos for only three Law Eras. He concealed his form, blended among people, searching for that faint glimmer to help him break free from his bottleneck, yet as usual, he found nothing."

"However, just when he was about to leave Ancient Luo Cosmos, an upheaval occurred."

Wang Xu hurriedly asked, "Did the Dark Holy Banquet initiate the cosmic battle?"

Fen You shook his head, his eyes revealing regret: "Perhaps even Qu Yao hadn’t expected this upheaval. Before leaving the Ancient Luo Cosmos, he transformed into a dying beggar; he needed to feel death, feel the extremity between life and death to obtain that glimmer, yet it was an ordinary figure that deeply moved him."

"It was a simple Human Race woman who approached him and gave him a steaming hot bun... When Qu Yao told me about her, he said she seemed to emit a brilliance he had never seen before, mesmerizing him, driving him mad, enchanted as if his face expressed joy I could hardly comprehend. Yet ultimately, it unfolded so dramatically—Qu Yao decided to stay in Ancient Luo temporarily."

Fen You sighed deeply: "Because of this decision, Qu Yao paid the price with his life."

Wang Xu remained silent, aware of what happened to Qu Yao Saint Venerable. Such an unattuned cultivator, obsessed solely with pursuing ultimate strength, knew no other goal. Yet, when true love arrived, judgment failed instantly.

"Qu Yao Saint Venerable could have taken that woman with him, even if the Dark Holy Banquet was powerful, it would not arbitrarily obstruct a Saint Venerable." Wang Xu speculated.

"Originally, Qu Yao thought the same, but the reality was harshly different—one strike by the Dark Saint Venerable erased tens of thousands of Star Domains, including the Star where the woman was located, among the annihilated domains..." Fen You recounted, "Precisely because of this, Qu Yao Saint Venerable stepped up and perished together with the Dark Saint Venerable, ultimately saving your Ancient Luo Cosmos."

The word "Love," teaches life and death.

Wang Xu fully realized this, but neither had he not considered similarly; if his family were killed, Wang Xu would equally go berserk, abandon everything.

"When Qu Yao perished, I became a masterless object, losing my Power of Life’s support, so I hid within a meteor, drifting aimlessly through countless ages, ultimately landing on your Earth homeland, meeting you barely alive." Fen You narrated, "At that time, muddled as I was, I merely wanted to absorb Power of Life through a life form, hence forming a contract with you, merging as one—making you my third master."

"But upon discovering your strength was downright pitiful to an extreme, regretting served no use. I had to account for my foolishness, hence, I had no choice but to continuously devour various beast life forms, converting their Cosmic Energy into your body, consolidating it, allowing you to elevate faster—in truth, the core within you wasn’t comprehended through ’Basic Flesh Body,’ but rather my deliberate influence for successfully condensing it." Fen You articulated.
