Asura Mad Emperor

"Alas, since you've made up your mind, then let me accompany you!" Ling Xian'er sighed gracefully.

Ling Xian'er watched Ji Huo'er grow up and was very familiar with her temperament.

"Senior sister?"

Ji Huo'er looked at Ling Xian'er and quickly waved her hands, "Senior sister, you must not, you have the important duty to spread the lineage of Thousand Fox Mountain on your shoulders, how could you!"

Ji Huo'er shook her head repeatedly.

"Silly girl, the Supreme Ancestor has already reached the strength of the Emperor Realm, and the external enemies of Thousand Fox Mountain have been dealt with. Our Thousand Fox Mountain will only grow stronger in the future, so what does it matter if sister is not there?"

Ji Huo'er wanted to say more, but Ling Xian'er, with hands as soft as the shoots of a plant, stroked her little head and said almost indulgently, "Don't forget, granny entrusted me to take good care of you!"

Torn with hesitation, Ji Huo'er eventually nodded somberly, "Alright, with you accompanying me, sister, let's subdue this Netherworld Strange Fire together! And then enter the Array to find big brother!"

Ji Huo'er said, determined, gritting her teeth.

Having said this, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er joined hands and walked towards the center of the Taoist arena together.

"Huo'er, Miss Xian'er, you must not! This is the Ancient Netherworld Strange Fire, not even Great Emperors dare to confront it directly!"

From a distant perimeter of the Array, Li Kaitian raised his voice in persuasion.

But the two of them, as if they hadn't heard, didn't even turn their heads and continued walking towards the Fiery Path.

"Boom!"

Just as they reached the center of the Daoist arena, there came an earth-shattering tremor from beneath the Divine Peak.

In an instant, the entire Divine Peak shook violently, as if in an earthquake, sending tremors rippling in all directions within the arena.

At the same time, the air, once filled with black Demonic Qi, accompanied by this apocalyptic roar, poured towards the ground, enveloping the world of demons and ghosts.

The demonic mist had once spread quickly, blanketing the sky; now, it disappeared even faster. In a short time, the Demonic Qi in this world dissipated, and the blood moon, originally obscured by it, revealed its true face once more.

"What's happening?"

"It's the Array! A great battle is occurring in the world below the Array, shaking the Divine Peak!"

Cultivators from afar speculated.

"There must be an incredibly powerful being imprisoned underneath the Array, likely engaged in a fierce battle with those two cultivators who entered that day."

Indeed, the underground world had been shaken by a monumental battle between Qinchuan and the will of the Ghost Emperor.

The will of the Ghost Emperor wasn't merely suppressing the Azure Dragon Soul.

In ancient times, the Ghoul Emperor, to absorb the supreme strength brought by the Array, fused with it, and he became the focal point of the Great Formation.

Qinchuan, in the Underground World, devoured the will of the Ghost Emperor with the Death Domain, breaking the focal point of the Array. Thus, the Array was thoroughly destroyed, which was why there was such a tremendous earth-shaking tremor.

The collapse of the Array had not yet fully transmitted to the periphery. After a loud bang and disappearance of the ghost mist, the world returned to normal.

At this time, Ji Huo'er became even more anxious.

"We need to quicken our pace!" she felt the Array beginning to act unusually.

Afterward, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er exchanged a glance, their eyes determined, and both leaped into the air, shooting towards the dazzling Fiery Path.

They flashed through and entered the Fiery Path.

The Netherworld Strange Fire, which had been invincible and able to incinerate anything before, reappeared once again.

However, this time, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

Its emergence wasn't like usual, with an unbeatable momentum that burns all things to ashes; instead, it took the form of small flames the size of a palm, continuously leaping around Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er.

"That Netherworld Strange Fire, it hasn't burned them to ashes?"

From afar, all the cultivators erupted in excitement.

"Is there really a way to tame the Strange Fire?!"

"It seems there really is a way to enter it."

"This Strange Fire, it truly hasn't devoured us?" Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er both showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Quick, let's tame this Strange Fire before anything else!" Ling Xian'er also realized what was happening and called out in a low voice.

The two chanted the oral incantation taught by Bai Yunran, their bodies flickering with dazzling light. They felt immensely sublime as their pores dilated and streams of red and white Immortal Qi burst forth from their pores, creating a misty haze. For a moment, the two seemed as if they were in the Immortal Realm.

"Swoosh!"

Just as they finished reciting the incantation and were about to proceed to the next step.

The next moment, countless Netherworld Strange Fires around them began to split in two, the continuous Strange Fires dividing into two streams, simultaneously rushing towards the center of their foreheads.

A brilliant flash of golden light crossed their brows, and the next moment, the split Netherworld Strange Fires separately surged into the sea of consciousness within their foreheads.

In their sea of consciousness, there was still half of a Divine Fragment that had not been completely refined.

At that moment, the Divine Fragment and the Netherworld Strange Fire came into contact and began to merge and refine gradually.

"This Netherworld Strange Fire is helping me refine that half of the Divine Fragment I haven't fully refined!" Ji Huo'er opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

Ling Xian'er also nodded, clearly experiencing the same phenomenon.

As the Strange Fire burned, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er both felt unbearably hot throughout their bodies. It was as if they were in the midst of True Fire, their skin flushed and their eyes hazy.

Meanwhile, with the help of the Netherworld Strange Fire, the Divine Fragments in their sea of consciousness began to refine slowly. The inheritance of the Divine Fragments poured into their sea of consciousness. Great Dao Laws roared around them, and Spiritual Energy flowed through their limbs and bones.

Their realms were breaking through.

Their aura grew from the early stage of the Holy Realm to the intermediate stage.

And the upward trend continued.

Before long, they had broken through from the intermediate stage of the Holy Realm to the late stage.

The breakthrough in their Cultivation Realm was nothing compared to the benefits their Souls received from their progress.

The advancement of their Souls was far greater than their breakthrough from the early stage to the late stage of the Holy Realm.

If compared to ordinary cultivators, their Souls were now at the late stage of the Great Saint.

It wasn't just the Strange Fire refining the Divine Fragment - the Divine Fragment was also taming the Netherworld Strange Fire. In Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er's sea of consciousness, the two coexisted, secretly vying with each other.

When the Divine Fragment was about one third left to refine, the Netherworld Strange Fire finally stabilized completely. It was successfully tamed by the Divine Fragment and turned into a thumb-sized flame, permanently residing within their Souls.

"I wasn't devoured by the Strange Fire; the Heavenly Secret Ancient Tome truly didn't deceive me. There indeed exists a way to tame the Strange Fire!"

Seeing that Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er were safe and sound, and the auspicious lights flickering around them, it was clear they were experiencing phenomena associated with taming the Strange Fire.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with a fervent glow.

As he had taught them the way to tame the Strange Fire, Bai Yunran and the others naturally wouldn't feel at ease simply watching Ji Huo'er and the others tame it.
