Chapter 627: Erasing Spiritual Intelligence
The situation on the field was full of twists and turns, causing everyone's emotions to fluctuate dramatically. Initially, seeing Jing Lian Demon Fire control the ancient Refining Sky Array left by Jing Lian Holy Saint, everyone thought they were doomed, likely to be buried within the demon fire space forever. They were grasping at straws, seeking help from Xiao Ze as a last resort.
However, when faced with the destructive beam of light that could kill everyone present, the golden flame that Xiao Ze produced turned the situation around in a devastatingly swift manner! It even forced Jing Lian Demon Fire to self destruct, unleashing all its power and filling the entire demon fire space with milky white flames.
This series of unexpected changes baffled all the powerful onlookers. Having reached their level of strength, it was rare to encounter a battle they could not comprehend. This realization made them think that there were always greater powers out there. Their gaze towards Xiao Ze was filled with deep respect.
Xiao Ze, observing the pervasive milky white flames, stepped out of the thunder domain. His palms shimmered with dazzling golden light as he grasped a strand of milky white flame. "Is this Jing Lian Demon Fire's last resort, the Demon Fire Annihilation? Its power is indeed extraordinary; it can fill such a vast space in an instant." "Even a Demi Saint strong enough could be turned to ashes in these pervasive demon flames, truly deserving of the title of world destroying power."
Xiao Ze released the milky white flame and then formed hand seals. Beneath the sky and above the magma, the two huge arrays began to fluctuate. Under the erosion of the Origin Emperor Flame, Xiao Ze successfully seized control of the Refining Sky Ancient Array. The two arrays started to operate under the shocked eyes of all present. They now realized why Jing Lian Demon Fire was forced to self destruct! It turns out that Xiao Ze had earlier snatched control of the Refining Sky Ancient Array from Jing Lian Demon Fire!
With this, Jing Lian Demon Fire's trump card was under Xiao Ze's control, and given that Jing Lian Demon Fire's cultivation was already inferior to Xiao Ze's, defeat was certain! Without any resistance, being refined was an inevitable outcome.
The two arrays, like celestial mills, emitted terrible fluctuations capable of erasing everything, continuously grinding down Jing Lian Demon Fire at their center. As the milky white flames were being erased, people could see through the wisps of milky white flames to the core where Jing Lian Demon Fire had initially self destructed.
At the center of the flames, apart from the pure milky white, a pink hue began to condense gradually. These pink flames slowly burned and gathered together, eventually forming a slightly reddish, eerie fire lotus. As soon as this reddish fire lotus appeared, it made everyone within the thunder domain feel a wave of heat. Some of the weaker individuals were red faced and breathless, unable to endure the sight of the eerie fire lotus. However, their eyes were not greedy but filled with fear.
Just its appearance, even protected by the thunder domain, was enough to make them feel overheated. If they were outside, they would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant, like those strong ones burned earlier. Outside the thunder domain, the strong ones continued to circulate their fighting spirit, resisting the incredible power of the demon fire. Even a four star Dou Saint like Yao Wan Gui felt his internal fighting spirit boiling, as if it would ignite by itself. This forced everyone to deploy various methods, either taking out medicinal pills or madly circulating their fighting spirit.
Xiao Ze changed the hand seals again, and within the Refining Sky Ancient Array, four light curtains fell, enveloping the eerie fire lotus. Through the light curtain, Xiao Ze looked at the fire lotus, noticing strange blood red veins on its petals. The petals were covered with tiny blood red veins, resembling human blood vessels. Occasionally flickering, these made the beautiful fire lotus appear both gloomy and enchanting.
"In the past, Jing Lian Holy Saint, considering old affections, did not erase your spiritual intelligence and memory but was instead devoured by you." "Today, I will use the Refining Sky Ancient Array left by the Holy Saint to erase your spiritual intelligence and memory, no longer cruel and brutal, delighting in killing." Xiao Ze spoke, and the hand seals transformed, causing the thousands of feet large Refining Sky Ancient Array to gradually collapse, concentrating at its most core part.
"That damned guy, that old man deserved to die; I accompanied him through long times, if not meritorious, then full of hardship!" Hearing Xiao Ze's words, an indignant voice came from within the eerie fire lotus. "Yet before his death, he even wanted to seal me away, claiming I was too violent!" "The path I choose is my decision! Since he wanted to seal me, don't blame me for finishing him off!"
The crowd's expressions changed, realizing that such a secret event had occurred before Jing Lian Holy Saint's fall. However, it seemed that thousands of years of sealing did not erase the violence and murderous intent in Jing Lian Demon Fire's heart. Instead, his hatred grew stronger, and once freed, he would unleash a devastating wave of destruction, wantonly killing and causing slaughter.
Xiao Ze, hearing this, remained unshaken, "Of course, you want to kill us, but lack the strength and are countered by me." "Even though you are a divine object of heaven and earth, protected by the cosmos and difficult to eradicate." "But erasing your memory and negative emotions, returning you to the purity of a newborn, is also like killing you once!"
As Xiao Ze spoke, the hand seals changed, and the energy accumulated over thousands of years in the Refining Sky Ancient Array continued to gather at the core part, solidifying the light curtain that imprisoned Jing Lian Demon Fire. Meanwhile, Jing Lian Demon Fire did not just wait to die; the eerie fire lotus spun wildly. Countless blood red flames surged from within the fire lotus, striking the light curtain and causing it to tremble slightly.
"It's futile, Refining Sky Ancient Array, strip away the spiritual intelligence!" Xiao Ze declared as golden light surged within the light curtain. The golden light formed a network of fire, deeply imprinting within the fire lotus. As the fire network slowly lifted, wisps of blood red mist were stripped from the interior of the fire lotus. "Aaaah!!!" A piercing scream of agony came from within the eerie fire lotus.
But no matter how the eerie fire lotus spun, releasing blood red flames, it could not break through the confinement of the light curtain. Jing Lian Demon Fire felt his mind gradually blanking out, filled with terror and rage. He knew that once his spiritual intelligence and memory were completely stripped away, he would be truly "dead."
Listening to Jing Lian Demon Fire's screams, Xiao Ze remained calm. He was not Jing Lian Holy Saint and had no old affection for Jing Lian Demon Fire. Thus, stripping Jing Lian Demon Fire's negative emotions and spiritual intelligence did not hesitate.
However, the blood red mist that was stripped away was enveloped by Xiao Ze using the Origin Emperor Flame. This mist contained Jing Lian Demon Fire's memories and negative emotions. With the power of the Origin Emperor Flame, Xiao Ze could extract the legacy of Jing Lian Holy Saint, making his journey worthwhile. (End of Chapter)
