CHAPTER 597: CHAPTER 596: DOU DOU’S DIVINE FIRE

Dou Dou bravely rushed into the gray mist.

And those gray mists seemed to have a life of their own, "terrified" and evading in all directions, refusing to approach Dou Dou.

This made Dou Dou quite disappointed; I’m so brave, why are you all so cowardly?

"Come over here."

She beckoned to the surrounding gray mist, full of provocation.

But those gray mists themselves have no consciousness, merely remnants of yin souls, retaining some instincts only. As long as Dou Dou doesn’t approach, they won’t move, swirling in place. The entire Netherworld is filled with such gray mist, accumulated over time.

Just then, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner floating above Dou Dou’s head suddenly spun around, and the gray mist that was evading surged toward Dou Dou like a whale swallowing. Dou Dou turned around wanting to run.

"Oh no, help, I’m about to die..."

In her panic, the flames on her body became more active, and the fire surged, swaying continuously with her movements.

Because it came from every direction, Dou Dou dodged left and right, unable to escape for a moment, until those gray mists touched the flames on her body.

"Eek~"

Dou Dou suddenly froze in place, no longer afraid, and reached out a small hand to grab the gray mist in the void.

As she moved, it was as if she threw a torch into gasoline. The Netherworld Fire, which could only harm the souls of the dead, now kindled like dry wood, with the fire rolling in waves. In an instant, it spread across half the sky, with the momentum of sweeping across the world.

"Not bad... Not bad..."

Shen Siyuan marveled greatly; he knew the Divine Fire on Dou Dou’s body would certainly be useful.

It was somewhat similar to the Divine Fire born from Shen Siyuan’s Divine Sense, yet also different.

If Shen Siyuan’s Divine Fire was the product of his will, thoughts, and desires, then the Divine Fire born within Dou Dou was simply pure joy.

In a dream guided by Tang Tang, a God gently tapped Dou Dou’s forehead with a finger, not granting her the ability to control the Divine Fire but igniting the Divine Fire within her, or leaving a seed of flame, with joy as its kindling.

Dou Dou is pure and joyful, so the Divine Fire born within her is extremely pure.

The Divine Fire on her body can also be seen as the manifestation of her will, but more innocent and without any impurities, so the color of her Divine Fire is bright red and translucent, lively and cheerful.

When it radiates externally, it dances like a sprite, and with Dou Dou’s cheerful mood, it becomes more lively and exuberant.

"So impressive..."

Duoduo watched from the side and couldn’t help but exclaim in envy.

Dou Dou was so spirited now, hands on hips, head held high, marching back and forth energetically at the front.

And the Divine Fire on her body, seeming to grow with her mood, began to appear more and more. Originally interspersed with hints of bright red among the blue flames, large patches began to appear now, threatening to completely overtake the Netherworld Fire.

"Argh~"

At that moment, a sudden roar echoed from the distance.

The gray mist seemed to be squeezed, quickly spreading outward. A storm swept from afar, and countless skeletons rose from the ground, surging toward the few present.

Like a tidal wave of bones, it seemed incredibly threatening.

Dou Dou was startled, losing her smugness, and darted behind Shen Siyuan, peeking out cautiously.

Xiao Yue and Duoduo also jumped in shock, quickly raising their weapons in vigilance.

Xiao Yue wielding the Three Pure Ones Bell, the Soul-hooking Chain spiraled around her body, and the Netherworld Fire Fireflies perched on her shoulder, alert to the surroundings.

Duoduo held the gourd solemnly, the Qiankun Umbrella floated above her head, gently spinning, the immortal crane flew high, faintly chirping around, and there was a touch of ghostly blue in her hair.

Seeing them so cautiously, Shen Siyuan felt quite relieved in his heart.

He then lightly waved the Divine Sword in his hand, the Primordial Magnetism connecting to the land, instantly turning the sea of bones into white powder scattered in the air.

Just then, a massive figure emerged in the distance.

The trio shivered in unison, Dou Dou and Duoduo almost burst into tears in fright.

What came was naturally a creature of evil, yet the most ruthless and disgusting they had seen so far.

This Evil Candle was shaped like a centipede, but its legs were composed of human arms, and its body was made up of human heads. When it stood upright, all the heads stared forward simultaneously, their eyes flashing with malice. Some were wailing, some cursing, some weeping...

All the sounds gathered together, noisy and clamorous, like a sinister melody penetrating one’s ears...

Shen Siyuan used his calf to bounce Dou Dou, who was clinging to his leg, directly under Duoduo’s umbrella.

Just now, the little one was affected by the sinister sound, her face slowly distorting, and the small hands holding Shen Siyuan’s leg unconsciously tightened as malice began to brew in her heart.

If she weren’t inherently pure-hearted, she might have gone mad already.

But the instant she entered Duoduo’s Qiankun Umbrella, her will immediately recovered. The world beneath the umbrella was like an independent little world, impervious to external negative influences affecting those beneath it.

Yet Xiao Yue did not follow to hide beneath the Qiankun Umbrella, instead shaking the Three Pure Ones Bell vigorously in her hand.

"Ding ding ding~"

As the sound rang out, the previously noisy clamor came to an abrupt halt, as if the entire world had suddenly quieted down.

The centipede’s body, originally upright, started to collapse downward.

Shen Siyuan naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity; he thrust the Divine Sword forward, emitting brilliant and radiant Sword Qi that tore through the air, slicing the centipede in half.

But before half its body hit the ground, numerous arms moved swiftly, quickly reconnecting the two halves. Apart from losing a segment of the body, it seemed mostly unharmed.

Then it once again lunged toward the group, accompanied by a raging wind and angry wails, as if to devour the group and merge with itself.

Xiao Yue’s hand shook the Three Pure Ones Bell even more urgently, but this time the effect wasn’t as good as before, as a gray-black aura began to fill the air.

This gray-black aura seemed to be the most vile pollution in the Mortal World, a glance at it made one dizzy and spawned malicious thoughts, as if the whole person was being contaminated.

Xiao Yue’s face paled, struggling to shake the Three Pure Ones Bell in her hand, but at this moment it could only serve to stabilize her own spirit, no longer having other power.

And the great sun in Shen Siyuan’s Sea of Consciousness also seemed to feel threatened, directly flying out from behind his head, like a giant fireball, rotating behind his head, fixing his spirit to prevent the birth of sinister thoughts.

But just then, Dou Dou dashed out from under Duoduo’s Qiankun Umbrella, angrily shouting "Bad guy" at the figure ahead.

Then she opened her mouth and spewed a stream of bright red flames directly onto the blade of Shen Siyuan’s Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword.
