Ye Xiruo was completely distraught. Had even the strange fire become sentient in the past two years? Was this a case of "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass" or "feinting to the east while attacking the west"?
I clearly feel that this beautiful little blue lotus flower is the same one I've seen before. The color and shape of the petals, as well as the dreamlike beauty and danger it gives off, are exactly the same.
Ye Xiruo's expression suddenly changed. If the lotus flower they saw at the beginning was fake, then this scene could be completely explained.
Qinglian Tian is a mature being, possessing an intelligence even higher than that of the Yin-Yang Demon Flame. It naturally developed wisdom no less than that of humans, and even learned human cunning and deceit. This move even bewildered Jing Li and the elders of several major sects.
If it weren't for the system, Ye Xiruo would have thought that scene would be wonderful.
Imagine you fought your way through countless battles, overcoming numerous obstacles and killing countless people to seize the Azure Lotus Heaven. Just as you were about to absorb it, you discovered that what was in front of you was nothing but an illusion, which could even devour your life at any moment.
After the previous chaotic battle, humanity's strength was greatly weakened. There is a high probability that Qinglian Tian will take advantage of the chaos to escape, then find a place where even the gods cannot find it, devour other strange flames, and one day become the most powerful strange flame on the continent, which no one can do anything about, and dominate the entire continent.
"Hmph," Ye Xiruo scoffed. "Not a bad idea, but unfortunately, you've met her. Your dream is destined to be shattered."
Over there, Jing Li shouted at Ye Xiruo from afar, "Stupid disciple, hurry up and absorb the Azure Lotus Heaven!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was cleaved aside by Elder Jian San's sword.
There was no way around it; there was only one Azure Lotus Heavenly Flower, and everyone wanted it.
As soon as the barrier shattered, everyone rushed inside, including not only the elders of the major powers and independent cultivators, but also experts from some hermit sects. In an instant, everyone vanished from their original spot.
Jing Li disregarded everything else, and the Yin-Yang Demon Flame instantly appeared on his shoulder. Relying on the connection between the different flames, Jing Li took relatively little time.
Although wild beasts and spirit beasts came to cause trouble along the way, he quickly killed them and headed straight for Qinglian Heaven.
Just a hundred meters away from Qingliantian, at the end of Jingli's gaze appeared the expressionless face of Elder Jian San, and the old hag from Huantian Palace, who blocked his way.
Jing Li cursed under her breath; these two had actually joined forces.
"Little Yin Yang, I'm entrusting it to you." The same demonic flame transformed into a black and white Tai Chi Bagua diagram, rushing towards Huan Yun of Huan Tian Palace and Jian San of Wan Jian Sect.
As a result, Xiao Yinyang was blocked on his way by a jet-black Qilin. Jing Li's beautiful eyes almost blazed with fire. Was this done on purpose? The Illusionary Heaven Palace actually brought out the Jade Qilin. What level is the Jade Qilin? It is the Illusionary Heaven Palace's most treasured magic weapon. It was brought out like this.
"Lord of the Palace, I am truly sorry this time."
"Hmph, you think you can trap me like this?"
"My mission is to hold you back." Huan Yun said with a half-smile. It was no secret that Jing Li was about to make a move. However, no force on the continent would allow this to happen. The Pill King Palace was already very powerful, possessing two different flames. If even the Azure Lotus Heaven were to be acquired, who would be able to compete with them for the next three hundred years?
"Then we'll see if you have the ability?" Jing Li sneered, her smile cold and cruel.
Yin Yang Demon Flame was held back by Huan Yun and Mo Yu Qilin, and Jing Li charged directly at Jian San, a fiery red whip instantly appearing in his hand.
Jian San's swordsmanship was superb, ranking among the top five even in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so he was naturally not easy to deal with. And so, the two clashed.
Jing Li's lips curled into a cold smile: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; are you willing to be the ones who benefit others?"
During the lulls in their battle, several groups of people had already arrived. Among them were a few prodigies from the Hermit Sect, and the group of fairies from Saintess Peak who wielded sword formations to clear a path, killing gods and Buddhas alike in their way.
"This is a battle of the younger generation, let's just watch from the sidelines." Jian San casually retorted to Jing Li, confident that Xiao Ye would live up to expectations and obtain Qinglian Tian.
The melee broke out in an instant. Compared to the childish fighting outside, the battle inside was much more intense and dangerous.
Dazzling magical artifacts, sharp sword techniques, and beautiful, dreamlike rain of flowers filled the entire space. Not only did they have to fight, but they also had to constantly guard against sneak attacks.
Fortunately, everyone here was a seasoned veteran, and these instincts had become second nature to them. Soon, a strong smell of blood wafted out, attracting even more wild beasts, and the battle intensified.
Huan Yun was ambushed and suffered minor injuries. Helpless, he gave up suppressing the Yin Yang Demon Flame. The Yin Yang Demon Flame, together with Jing Li, quickly shook off Elder Jian San and headed straight for Qing Lian Tian.
In those short distance of just a few dozen steps, Jing Li fought her way through with a bloody path.
We can already see the Azure Lotus Sky; its breathtaking beauty and terrifying heat prove that this is real, not a dream.
However, after several people turned to ashes just three meters away from Qingliantian, including a disciple of the Hermit Sect, everyone stopped. Something seemed off.
The barrier of Qinglian Heaven has been broken, so why can't Harbin get close? Is this a natural skill of the Strange Fire? Is there a time limit or a weakness?
They had worked so hard to get to this point, not to admire the beauty and cruelty of Qingliantian.
All eyes turned to Jing Li, who snorted coldly: "Every strange fire in the world is unique. As mentioned before, the Azure Lotus Heaven was once subdued by a powerful being thousands of years ago, and eventually disappeared into the world along with that being. Now that it has reincarnated, its strength may be even more formidable. This should be because it is still evolving and moving towards maturity."
"So, what do we do now?"
"Interrupting its evolution, though the chances are slim." Qinglian Tian must have his reasons for choosing this place.
Then, a new round of relentless bombardment began. Everyone's target was Qinglian Tian, and they weren't worried at all that if they used too much force, Qinglian Tian would be sent to reincarnation.
Ten minutes later, after the various lights and energies dissipated, everyone came to their senses and their hearts nearly stopped beating. Qinglian Tian was unharmed and seemed to have become even more powerful.
The lotus flower had hundreds more petals, and its colors were even more magnificent. The most beautiful gemstones in the world could not compare to the Azure Lotus Heaven.
