Asura Mad Emperor

"Humph, the oral incantation to subdue the Strange Fire is mine, get out of here immediately."

At that moment, Bai Yunran could no longer hold back. He transformed into a streak of light, his hand opened wide like a Great Roc charging towards the two of them.

Seeing Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er subduing the Strange Fire, he grew covetous and wanted to drive them away.

Zi Tong and Jiang Bing were not to be outdone, hastily following suit.

This was, after all, the Netherworld Strange Fire from the Ancient Times, an incomparable Supreme Treasure that even in the Upper Realm, one could hardly obtain. Naturally, they wouldn't stand by and watch it fall into the hands of two lowly natives of the Divine Wilderness Continent.

"Quickly, strive for the Netherworld Strange Fire!"

At this moment, many envoys from the Divine Realm and natives of the Divine Wilderness shouted one after another, surging towards the fire passage, fearing they would be a step too late.

Nearly half of the cultivators from all around rushed over, divine light flickering nonstop, joining the competition for the Strange Fire.

Bai Yunran was the first to charge, rushing into the fire passage.

Indeed, the dangers of the fire passage had completely vanished by this time, and he safely entered the area.

"Humph, if you want to subdue the Strange Fire, you'll have to get past me first."

Bai Yunran, seeing no sign of the Netherworld Strange Fire around him, noticed Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er still sitting cross-legged, obviously still embroiled in a struggle with the Strange Fire.

Seizing the opportunity while the Strange Fire had not yet been fully subdued was the best time to make a move.

Bai Yunran made a decisive move, a black and white Heavenly Secrets Palm Imprint descended from the sky, crashing down on the tops of their heads. The palm imprint, in black and white, corresponded to the Heavenly Secrets Dao, and if it were to strike them, they would be in a world of pain.

But in the next instant, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er simultaneously opened their eyes.

Both leaped to their feet. Ji Huo'er swung her palm, her slender jade hand blocking the descending palm imprint.

Ling Xian'er, on the other hand, gracefully moved like an Immortal, her figure agile and smooth like a snow-white jade fox, her nimble shape flitting about the passage and pressing towards Bai Yunran.

"Pfft!"

Everything happened too fast. Bai Yunran had no defence prepared, and he was caught completely off guard as they suddenly attacked.

He didn't have time to react, only to watch as a snow-white jade palm imprint landed on his chest.

He immediately felt an overwhelming force, capable of splitting heaven and tearing apart earth, and he was sent flying backward in an instant.

Eventually, he was caught by Zi Tong and Jiang Bing, which prevented him from being blasted out of this realm.

Bai Yunran was the first to charge, but he was repelled by the two women in an instant, causing all the cultivators to be stunned. They rushed outside the passage, surrounded the exit, and stared intently at Ji Huo'er and the other.

Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er stood side by side, their bodies emanating a red and a white aura respectively, twining Great Dao Laws around them as if they were amidst the clouds, incredibly gorgeous and holy.

With a profound gaze, a hint of deep blue light shimmered in the depths of their eyes, the very image of having subdued the Netherworld Strange Fire.

Their presence was clearly that of the Great Saint Late Stage.

"What's going on, how did these two maidens suddenly break through to the Great Saint Late Stage?"

In this world, with the suppression of the Four Aspects Law, everyone's cultivation level was confined to the Holy Realm Early Stage. How could these two be the exception?

Everyone was extremely shocked and for a moment, none dared to come forward.

"Could it be the growth brought on by subduing the Strange Fire?"

Bai Yunran spat out a mouthful of clotted blood. Ling Xian'er had intended to kill with her move earlier, but at the critical moment, someone else's intervention saved his life. Now, he was even more astonished and shocked.

"How is it possible?"

"How could you possibly have subdued the Netherworld Strange Fire so quickly, and even advanced to the Great Saint Late Stage!"

The fact that Ji Huo'er and the other could wake up from their meditative state indicated they had resolved the issue with the Strange Fire, making the adversary submit.

Although Bai Yunran had never before subdued a Netherworld Strange Fire from Ancient Times, he had used spells to subdue other common Strange Fires.

He knew full well how arduous the process of subduing a Strange Fire is, requiring one to contend and struggle with the Strange Fire, with even the slightest mistake potentially leading to being devoured by the Strange Fire.

During this process, one must be fully immersed, without any lapse in concentration.

```

That year, it took him a full three days to subjugate a common Strange Fire, and that was thanks to the suppression of his Divine Being Level Realm.

Ji Huo'er and her companion managed to subjugate the Ancient Netherworld Strange Fire in such a short period of time.

This speed was beyond his expectations.

"What are you up to, you wretched old man? As if this lady would be unaware!"

Ji Huo'er said coldly.

Actually, Ji Huo'er and her companion also didn't know they would subjugate the Netherworld Strange Fire so quickly.

As it turned out,

The Array here was one with the Ghost Emperor of Yacha, and now that the Ghost Emperor had fallen and his will dissipated, this Array was also on the brink of complete collapse.

And as the guardian of this Array, the Netherworld Strange Fire had long since merged with the Array.

As the Array dissipated and collapsed, the Netherworld Strange Fire would not be released; instead, it would disappear along with the Array.

Therefore, when they activated the spell to subjugate the Strange Fire, they were actually saving the fire, preventing it from vanishing into nothing.

Rather than saying that the two had actively subjugated the Strange Fire, it would be more accurate to say the Strange Fire chose them of its own accord.

Of course, with the collapse and unraveling of the Array, even if it weren't Ji Huo'er and her companion who entered this place, any two individuals who operated the spell could easily subjugate the Strange Fire.

As for their breakthrough to the Great Saint Late Stage, it wasn't solely due to the influence of the Netherworld Strange Fire.

It was also a result of the collapse of the Array.

The Four Aspects Formation, one aspect of which was indeed the Ghost Emperor of Yacha, constituted one of the cornerstones that constructed the Four Aspects Law.

Now, with the Array on the verge of collapse, the Four Aspects Law was affected and showed signs of loosening.

Under the pressure of the loosening Law, with the simultaneous effects of the Netherworld Strange Fire and the Divine Fragments, the two were able to break through first and step into the Great Saint Late Stage Realm.

"No matter how you managed to subjugate the Strange Fire in such a short time, you two will not walk out of this corridor today unless you hand over the Netherworld Strange Fire,"

Zi Tong stepped forward, his eyes cold, looking at the two sternly.

His hatred for Qinchuan had now extended to Ji Huo'er and her companion.

"I have no time for your nonsense; I'm going to find Big Brother!"

Ji Huo'er, preoccupied with Qinchuan, had no interest in bantering with them and, having said that, she shot toward the depths of the corridor.

"Hmph, you think you can leave? It's up to this young master to decide!"

Jiang Bing let out a cold shout, and from his mouth, he expelled a Magical Treasure the size of a fingernail, a crystal clear gem.

The gem, like an ice sculpture, was crystal clear and shining brightly. As it left his mouth, it grew with the wind.

The next moment, the gem swelled into a crystal clear Jade Wall tens of meters long, descending from the sky in front of Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er.

Like a giant ice wall, it blocked the two's path forward.

At the same time, Jiang Bing, Zi Tong, and Bai Yunran all made their moves, their Divine Skills shimmering as they pressed down on the two.

"Bastards, how dare you block my way, you're courting death!"

Ji Huo'er's eyes were blazing as she stared straight at the three, like a little phoenix spewing fire, furiously indignant.

"Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill!"

Ji Huo'er said coldly, and the temperature around her grew colder, as if the fire corridor itself was about to freeze.

Right now, all she wanted to do was enter the corridor, to find out if Qinchuan was indeed within the Array.

This was her last hope.

And at this moment, Jiang Bing's sudden attempt to block her way undoubtedly enraged her.

Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er made their move at the same time.

Here, the battle erupted once again.
