Amon initiated Convergence, and Worms of Spirit, one after another, merged into the Sea Heart Flame, Amon.

He grew rapidly, from a mere wisp of flame to the peak of a Dou King.

As for the original Sea Heart Flame that Amon had Parasitized, Amon thought for a moment and then separated the clone he had just made.

The clone carried the Flame of Destiny.

"Are you sure you want to do something so dangerous? The backlash from burning some stones earlier injured me."

Amon had a smile on his face: "Anyway, you're the one who gets the backlash. As long as I cut off the connection before it implicates the main body, I can avoid it."

Clone: "..."

Although he looked quite displeased, he still followed the main body Amon's idea.

He extended his right hand and used the Flame of Destiny to scorch the original Sea Heart Flame that Amon had Parasitized.

Wisps of golden flame rose from the Sea Heart Flame, with blue and golden light reflecting each other.

As Amon had guessed, the Sea Heart Flame was ignited! The power of destiny could even burn away a Heavenly Flame!

The blue light within the Sea Heart Flame was gradually encroached upon by the golden, and it was disappearing bit by bit. As the blue gradually vanished, the expression on this Amon's face also grew solemn.

Finally, after a violent tremor, the Sea Heart Flame completely vanished.

The Amon avatar who used the Flame of Destiny to burn away the Sea Heart Flame was completely unharmed. He glanced at the main body and said with a smile, "It went smoothly. Your guess was correct."

Amon placed his hand on the clone's shoulder, gradually deepening his connection with him.

A sudden realization came from the clone.

Burning stones resulted in backlash because Amon couldn't replace their destiny, but burning the Sea Heart Flame had no backlash because the Sea Heart Flame Amon could completely replace the original Sea Heart Flame's influence on this World.

Moreover, although the destiny carried by a Heavenly Flame that hasn't yet developed full sentience is vast, it isn't complex. It only needs to burn, unlike humans who make countless choices in their lives, and each of these choices has a greater or lesser impact on destiny.

Therefore, replacing a Heavenly Flame is much simpler than replacing a human. Unless it's like Xiao Meng, who has interwoven her destiny with her host's through long-term Parasite, otherwise, directly replacing a person would inevitably lead to a strong backlash.

Amon retracted the clone, and at the same time, retrieved the Flame of Destiny, which had grown larger after burning the Sea Heart Flame.

The growth of the Flame of Destiny is fueled by burning and influencing destiny. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures like Heavenly Flame, which have a large but uncomplicated amount of destiny, seem to be the best targets.

The Worms of Spirit that Parasitized and controlled Han Feng's soul enveloped his spirit body, transforming into a beam of light that merged into Amon's body.

Amon walked onto the back of the Lightning Turtle, riding it out of the cave and onto the wilderness.

Looking down from high in the sky at the direction of the distant Jia Nan Academy, he murmured softly, "Fallen Heart Flame, it's your turn."

...

In the Inner Courtyard of Jia Nan Academy, in a secluded pavilion, Xiao Meng sat on a chair, her left leg crossed over her right, leaning back against the chair.

"Why are you back again?" She looked at the main body in front of her, seeming a little unhappy, with disdain in her eyes.

Amon didn't mind her attitude, a gentle smile on his face: "Thanks to your Flame of Destiny, Han Feng was successfully dealt with, and I obtained the Sea Heart Flame. Next is the Fallen Heart Flame."

Xiao Meng raised an eyebrow and leaned slightly forward:

"You wouldn't want to directly use the three-color Fire Lotus to explode, would you? What about the grand strategy? What about Xiao Yan? Jia Nan Academy is a very important node in his growth trajectory."

Amon's lips slowly curved upwards: "Strategy is never unchanging. Xiao Yan is just a fallback option for the worst-case scenario. If the situation is better than my original expectation, then he's dispensable.

"The mechanism of Parasite Heavenly Flame is very interesting, which has made me much more at ease. Of course, the fallback option still needs to be maintained. With my current ability, giving Xiao Yan a similar opportunity isn't impossible, just very troublesome.

"I won't destroy Jia Nan Academy... If there's something ready-made, it's better to use it. Simplicity and efficiency are my principles. Why bother when you can save effort?

"As for how to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame without causing too much damage, don't you have the answer?"

Xiao Meng's expression stiffened, her mouth twitched, then returned to normal. She sighed softly: "How did you know?"

Amon smiled but said nothing.

Looking at the main body, who was watching her gently, Xiao Meng somewhat helplessly extended her right hand, palm flat, and in her palm, a silver flame quietly burned.

This flame seemed close at hand, yet also far away, giving a sense of ethereal uncertainty.

Space Fire! The second beast flame Xiao Meng condensed!

Amon reached out, took the flame from Xiao Meng's hand, and refined it.

"Hmm, not bad. Using the essence blood of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon as a guide, you stimulated our latent spatial characteristics and materialized them into a flame."

Xiao Meng's face fell: "You took the Flame of Destiny, that's fine, but at least leave me a spark of this one. With its help, my Invisible Hand can be exploited to its maximum potential."

Amon chuckled, divided the Space Fire into two, and left half for Xiao Meng. Anyway, as long as there was a spark, cultivating it wouldn't be too difficult.

Looking at the Space Fire spark she had regained, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Meng's face.

Amon stood up from the chair and said softly:

"Even a four-color Buddha Fury Fire Lotus might not pose too much of a threat to those two old fellows, Qian Mu and Bai Lie. Conflict with them is not a wise choice.

"I'll sneak into the bottom of the Heavenly Burning Training Qi Tower and deal with the Fallen Heart Flame in the underground Magma World... Also, have you prepared what I asked you to?"

Xiao Meng hesitated for a moment, then threw a jade slip to Amon: "You wouldn't want to provoke that guy now, would you?"

"No, it's still too early. Just preparing in advance," Amon replied. "Tell me about the internal situation of the Heavenly Burning Training Qi Tower."

Xiao Meng answered fluently:

"The Heavenly Burning Training Qi Tower is divided into eleven floors. The upper ten floors can be entered for cultivation with a fire crystal card. The eleventh floor, which is the lowest level, is where the top ten of the Inner Courtyard Grand Competition, held every five years, undergo Origin Core Flame body tempering.

"Below the eleventh floor is the Seal core. Through the Seal, you can make eye contact with the Formless Fire Python, which is the Fallen Heart Flame. Passing through this Seal leads to the underground Magma World, which is the location of the Fallen Heart Flame.

"In the center of the Heavenly Burning Training Qi Tower is a hollow that goes straight to the lowest level. The cultivation rooms for core flame body tempering are built around this hollow.

"The hollow is surrounded by thick profound iron, and each floor has an Elder from the Inner Courtyard guarding it, preventing students from approaching the central hollow.

"Each floor of the Heavenly Burning Training Qi Tower has a Dou King-level Elder on duty, and the lowest floor has a Dou Emperor-level Elder.

"The tower body is made of a special material that seems to help share some of the pressure borne by the Seal.

"I secretly snuck into the Seal core below the lowest level and saw that there are many loopholes in the Seal. My strength was still a bit lacking, and I tried to exploit a bug to get through, but it didn't work. If it were you, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Also, you need to be careful of the Fallen Heart Flame's ability to create core flames. When facing it, some Worms of Spirit that are too weak aren't even cannon fodder; they need to be at least Dou King level.

"It even burned to death many of the weaker Worms of Spirit in my body through the Seal!

"Worms of Spirit in a complete soul body state probably won't be effective either. It has strong destructive power against soul bodies, so the cannon fodder Amon you raised with the 'Soul Devour' talent won't be of any use either."

"Good intelligence work." Amon's face showed a satisfied smile.

After a pause, he continued: "Once I get all the Heavenly Flame I need, I'll probably leave the Jia Ma Empire and go to the Northern Continent to see. The barbarian's integration ability makes me very interested. I'll need you all to put in more effort here."

"Oh, you're finally leaving the Jia Ma Empire, huh? Get lost, get lost. Hmm, you can rest assured and leave Young Master Xiao Yan to me. I will definitely not let you down and make him grow well and quickly!" Xiao Meng waved her hand, looking as if she wished Amon would disappear from her sight immediately.

Looking at Xiao Meng's cheerful expression, Amon chuckled and left her room through the window.

Snap...

The sound of the window closing came from behind him.

Amon smiled and walked towards "Zhou Mingrui's" residence not far away.

After Amon left, Xiao Meng plopped down on the bed, a cold smile on her face:

"Heh heh, how did the main body know I had Space Fire?"

Saying that, she plunged her right hand fiercely into her chest, roughly digging out a Worm of Spirit.

She pinched the translucent worm, which had twelve rings and starlight-like colors, between her index finger and thumb, her lips pulled back into a dangerous smile.

Looking at Xiao Meng, whose face was still stained with her own blood but who seemed completely unconcerned, with a cold glint in her eyes, the Worm of Spirit distorted its body and responded:

"The main body just rejected your mental connection, but he established a mental connection with me."

"So you sold me out?"

"I'm just a worm," the Worm of Spirit said helplessly.

"I'll pinch you to death!" Xiao Meng squeezed her fingers hard.

"Ah! Don't pinch, don't pinch, it's going to break, it's going to break!" The Worm of Spirit screamed.

After pinching for a while, Xiao Meng released her hand.

Before the Worm of Spirit could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Meng brought it close to her eyes.

She revealed a sinister smile: "I think our thoughts should remain unified! Let's have a mental connection."

The Worm of Spirit replied with a strange tone: "Just now, we had a localized Council of Amons."

Xiao Meng's expression froze: "How come I didn't know?"

"The main body presided over it, and everyone voted. It was decided to strip you of your right to participate in the Council of Amons and to not allow you to have deep mental links with other Worms of Spirit."

"Huh?"
