Chapter 1061: A Flash of Fire

Wow——

The blue light dissipated, and the space turned red again, and the raging sea of fire once again occupied the world.

But all the people staring at the projection of Suzaku were stunned, and no one came back to their senses for a long time.

"Dead...dead?" Yan Juehai murmured.

They actually saw with their own eyes... the ancient horned dragon was actually... shattered!!

It was not the one covered with wounds, but the one that appeared later, with its dragon power at its peak and no injuries on its body, except for the ancient dragon that was injured by Longque thousands of years ago!

He is...dead!!??

The air here was obviously extremely hot, but they felt that the air entering their nostrils and chests was extremely cold.

The name of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect's "Broken Moon and Destroyed Sorrow" had long been recorded in the Flame God Realm, but no one had ever seen it. But they could never have imagined that its power was so terrifying... Mu Xuanyin, with his profound strength greatly damaged, poisoned, and seriously injured, could instantly freeze the Fire Prison and shatter the ancient dragon with the power of the Divine Lord! !

This scene was even more shocking than the appearance of another ancient horned dragon.

Hunting down the Qionglong was the dream of many generations of the Flame God Realm. And this moment finally appeared clearly before their eyes in a way they could never have imagined. But among all the people, no one showed even a trace of joy...

The ancient horned dragon that was shattered miraculously by [Broken Moon and Destroyed Sorrow] was shattered into ice crystals all over the sky and fell into the raging sea of fire. In an instant, it was swallowed up by the hellfire and disappeared without a trace.

Sinking into the bottom of the endless hell of fire.

Without source power, these broken dragon corpses will soon be devoured by the hellfire and disappear completely.

In other words, although this ancient horned dragon was dead... they couldn't even touch a piece of its dragon scale, and could only watch it being consumed in the sea of fire.

"roar!!!!!!"

“Wooo ...

A dragon roar filled with endless anger, pain, and sorrow awakened the convulsing souls of everyone. The ancient horned dragon that was not yet dead roared, and the shaking waves of the Burial God Inferno Inferno surged to the sky: "You actually... You actually killed it... You actually killed it!!"

"You evil human! I will kill you! I will turn you into the most humble ashes! Aa ...

The ancient horned dragon was nearly insane in its extreme rage and hatred. It pounced on Mu Xuanyin with a roar that tore through the air. The dragon flames that instantly rolled up locked her breath, blocking all her directions and escape routes.

Mu Xuanyin's entire body was stained with blood, her face sometimes pale as paper, sometimes red as blood. Her resolute "Broken Moon Destruction" caused her to use up all of her Ice Phoenix blood, losing a large amount of her essence and blood... and also allowing the Qilin Dragon's poison to penetrate directly into her soul.

Her profound strength had not been exhausted, but it was barely less than 10% left. As the Ice Phoenix Blood had become silent, the ice she released would no longer have the power of the Ice Phoenix, and its power would be greatly reduced... Facing the ancient horned dragon that was not dead, death was already a foregone conclusion.

But she did not sit there and wait for death. Her eyes were still as cold as an abyss. As she raised her arms weakly, the Snow Princess Sword flew back into her hand. With her last remaining strength and the light of life, she faced the furious ancient dragon.

Ding!!

The ice crystals melted instantly when they came into contact with the fire. Mu Xuanyin was instantly forced back more than ten miles, her entire body engulfed in the dragon flames that devoured the last of her life.

Yun Che stared blankly, his vision gradually becoming blurry.

Eight years ago, in the northern part of Cangfeng Country, in the wasteland of death, he and Chu Yuechan encountered a male and female dragon. Chu Yuechan was forced into a desperate situation, and at the cost of destroying her own profound veins, she released the forbidden skill of Bingyun [Zero Hua], killed one of them... and then waited for death.

This scene is so similar to that year.

At that time, he was just like today, he could only watch helplessly because of the huge difference in strength, and he couldn't do anything... But fortunately, Jasmine was by his side at that time. Under his pleading, Jasmine ended the other dragon at the cost of spreading the magic poison and saved Chu Yuechan.

That was also the day when he and Chu Yuechan completely planted the seeds of their "bad fate".

"Master Fire..."

Yun Che spoke weakly, but before he could finish, Sect Master Huo had already shaken his head and sighed, “You don’t have to say anything. It can’t be saved. Although the Qilin Dragon was in a very bad condition and had injuries all over its body, it was still a life-and-death battle at the Divine Master level. Not to mention you, even if it was me, I would definitely die if I got close to it, and saving it would be a pipe dream.”

“But if there is a glimmer of hope, we will never be so indifferent... But, we really can't save him. Even if all of us go together, we can't save him. We are just committing suicide.” Yan Juehai shook his head helplessly.

Yun Che could not understand the gap between the Divine Sovereign Realm and the Divine Lord Realm, but what Huo Rulie and Yan Juehai said was not false.

Yun Che did not say anything else. In his eyes, the image from the Suzaku projection flickered.

The Snow Lady Sword was still swinging, and the blue light was getting weaker and weaker. He could already smell the breath of death coming from Mu Xuanyin, but the sword was still slicing through the dragon flames that were engulfing her...

Master... is still working hard!

Even at this point, she still didn't give up waiting to die!

Yes, with Master’s pride, even if he were to perish, he would definitely choose the most tragic way, but if he had a little bit of strength left, he would never sit back and die.

Yun Che bit down hard on the tip of his tongue. The blood and severe pain spread throughout his mouth and penetrated his heart and soul.

No! Master is using up her last bit of strength and life. As her disciple, how can I just watch...

Of all the people, I am the only one who can save Master at all costs! No matter how powerful or how high the status of others is, I cannot rely on them at all... The only one I can really rely on is myself!

Calm down...quickly calm down! Master is alive now...there must be hope, there must be a way!

I once relied on my faith to accomplish so many things that even Jasmine thought were impossible...

There must be some way!!

Yun Che's breathing gradually became calmer, and his originally chaotic consciousness tried its best to calm down. He even closed his eyes and blocked his hearing. The only sounds in the whole world were his own breathing and heartbeat.

Think carefully...consider all the things you have...

There must be a way...even a tiny bit of hope and possibility!

Must find...must find!!

In just a few breaths, Yun Che's thoughts were forced from extreme confusion to clarity.

In the Flame God Realm with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, a group of powerful gods and god kings could only tremble and be powerless when faced with the God Burial Fire Prison that they were most familiar with.

And Yun Che, who had just arrived in the God Realm for less than a year and whose profound strength was only at the lowest level of the Divine Origin Realm, was concentrating all his energy, searching for the hope of saving Mu Xuanyin with the power of a Divine Lord...

Anyone would just think it's a joke.

No one would believe that he could find any hope... just as they didn't believe that a grain of sand could destroy the ocean.

However, Yun Che was working hard with all his soul and will.

Just like back then, he gambled his entire soul and will to pick the Netherworld Udumbara flower for Jasmine.

Around them, the people of Yanshen were either sad, or in pain, or sighing. They would never forget the switch between heaven and hell in that moment. All the beautiful ideas that had been formed had completely turned into shattered bubbles at this moment.

And the Snow Song Realm King even lost his life because of this... There is no doubt that the Snow Song Realm will be at odds with them from now on.

"Poyun, you don't have to force yourself too much before the Xuanshen Conference. Sigh." Huo Rulie sighed heavily, with too much helplessness: "This is fate."

“Master, even if I have no chance to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, Huo Poyun will definitely achieve the Divine Lord Realm through hard work in the future. It just takes a longer time!” Huo Poyun’s eyes were still clear and resolute.

"Good kid." Huo Rulie forced a smile on his face. This was the only consolation he had at the moment. He looked away and stopped looking at the Suzaku projection, because Mu Xuanyin's final resistance was too weak to bear. With every breath, her injuries would get worse.

For thousands of years, he hated Mu Xuanyin so much that he couldn't control himself. If it was this situation at that time, he might have felt a little happy. But now, Huo Ye has been rescued by Yun Che, who is Mu Xuanyin's disciple. He secretly regretted the fact that he had plotted against Mu Bingyun when he lost control and lost his mind. Now, he really didn't want to see Mu Xuanyin buried under the claws of the Qionglong.

Roar!!

Awww!!

The ancient horned dragon's angry roars shook the sky. Facing the tragic death of its companions, it had gone completely insane. The surrounding hellfire had completely turned into a purgatory of disaster under its power.

Boom boom boom boom——

Mu Xuanyin flew out horizontally. When she touched the Inferno, a layer of ice crystals formed on her body with difficulty. Then she flew away from the Inferno at a high speed. The moment she broke away from the dragon flame and floated into the air, the ice crystals were completely shattered. Mu Xuanyin spat out three mouthfuls of blood, and her whole body was as red as the morning glow... Even her long hair had lost its icy blue color.

People who inherit the blood of the Ice Phoenix are not born with ice blue hair color, but it is the state of profound strength and... life state formed after reaching an extremely high realm.

At this moment, her icy hair had completely darkened, and nearly half of it had turned into the pitch-black color of the beginning of life...

This was not only the complete exhaustion of her profound energy, but also the countdown to the end of her life... The moment her hair completely turned black would be the moment of her death.

"The poison has completely entered the body." Yan Juehai said absentmindedly. He turned his head and glanced at Yan Wancang: "Sect Master Yan, right now...what else can we do?"

Yan Wancang did not move, as if he did not hear his voice. After a long while, he seemed to be talking to himself, “The Snow Song Realm King is truly unfathomable. He is seriously injured all over his body… His divine blood has been burned out… His essence and blood have been greatly damaged… Yet he is still able to hold on until now…”

"But if this continues, she will surely run out of energy. Even if she escapes by some miracle, she will surely die. Alas."

At this moment, Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of red fire flashed in the depths of his extremely cold pupils.

"Master Huo, please do me a favor." He looked straight ahead and said softly.

"What?" Huo Rulie turned his head.

“Please, Sect Master Huo, take me to my master.” Yun Che’s tone was particularly indifferent, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"What did you say!?" Huo Rulie was shocked by this. "Are you crazy? I'll say it again. With your small body, you will be destroyed within a thousand miles of them... no, within two thousand miles, not even a bone will be left. Getting close? It's impossible!"

“I know.” Yun Che nodded: “So, I need Sect Master Huo’s power to protect me.”

"I can't do it!" Huo Rulie turned his head and said without any hesitation: "I don't have the ability to do it either. Not to mention you, even if I get close, I will definitely die... not to mention that I have to protect you."

"Besides, what can you do if you go over there? Are you going to be buried with your master?!"

He would never forget the day a thousand years ago when his son Huo Ye got carried away and wanted to get up close to feel the power of the Divine Profound Realm, so he sneaked closer... When he was about a thousand miles away, he was hit by the aftermath of the cold air from Mu Xuanyin...

At that time, Huo Ye had just survived the heavenly tribulation and had reached the first level of the Divine Realm... It was also this breakthrough and the surge in his profound strength that made him overly confident, leading to the tragedy.
