C2380 Phantom and Phantom

The ghost-like shadow only entered the eighth fire domain for a short while before it caused the colorful flames inside the fire domain to suddenly fluctuate weirdly. They were like numerous five-colored ripples that shook continuously as countless tongues of fire rose up into the sky.

The heat of this five-colored flame was even more terrifying than the Burning Fire Calamity Fire and the Duotian Flame from before. Moreover, it seemed to be different from the previous seven levels of the Fire Domain. Just the aftermath of the flame was enough to make Lin Bai feel like the heat wave had emptied and the water vapor around his body was almost completely vaporized.

Eh, what happened? Seeing this sudden scene, Lin Bai hastily retreated, not daring to even get close to the incoming flame. He had a premonition that as long as a spark touched it, it would be impossible to get close to it. The starfire would ignite the prairie fire and turn his body and soul into ashes, dispersing them here.

While Lin Bai had nowhere to retreat to, the ghostly figure that had already entered the center of the eighth fire domain also noticed this unusual situation at this moment. Without any hesitation, he pinched his fingers and a mysterious force immediately spread out.

As his power began to dissipate, the clamoring Eighth Fire Domain suddenly calmed down. The flame that was only a sliver of distance away from Lin Bai made him feel as if he was about to be roasted dry also abruptly returned to its original position.

After doing all of this, the mysterious man didn't stop at all. He turned around and continued to move deeper into the fiery domain. Moreover, his movements had become even more cautious. It was as if there was an invisible force surrounding him, making him completely cut off from the atmosphere of the eighth fiery domain. His every step and movement made it so that the fiery domain would not move an inch.

This was strange! Could it be that the Fire Dominion had some sort of mental illness that caused them to unconsciously go crazy? As Lin Bai looked at the suddenly unusual event that had abruptly restored the calm of the eighth fire domain, how could he have known that in that split-second, such a dangerous event had occurred? He guessed at the eighth fire domain without any malice in his heart.

At the same time, the flames were continuously being pushed away by the ghost-like figure like water waves. Not only was it unable to approach his body in the slightest, it even seemed to have become the driving force behind his body, allowing him to move even faster.

In just a few moments, he had broken through the shackles of the eighth fire domain and arrived before the ninth fire domain.

If Lin Bai was here, he would have been completely stunned by the scene unfolding before him. The two types of flames intertwined with each other as if they were evolving Yin and Yang. Using their position as stoves, they refined everything within the stoves and opened up a brand-new chaotic world.

Not only that, the temperature of the flame here was at least a hundred times more terrifying than in the eighth level of the Fire Domain. After the terrifying heat spread out, the faint shadow standing in front of the ninth level of the Flame Domain started to turn hazy.

It was not that the shadow had been dispersed by heat, but rather became thinner. Rather, it was that terrifying heat. It almost melted the void, causing strange ripples to appear in everything that entered the space, causing one's line of sight to become distorted.

That ghostly shadow didn't stop for long before it reached the ninth level of the Fire Domain. It hesitated for a moment, and then, as if it couldn't sense the terrifying heat energy in the ninth level of the Fire Domain, it slowly walked inside.

As soon as the footsteps touched the outermost edge of the ninth level of the Fire Domain, the black and white flames immediately interweaved and formed a tidal wave that swept towards the phantom like a hurricane.

The horrifying might of the tongue of fire made people feel that it was no longer an illusionary flame, but something that truly possessed form. It could easily smash a person into meat paste with its strong power.

In the face of this monstrous flame tongue, the ghost-like figure appeared to have not sensed the power within it. He slowly raised his hand and gently swatted at the powerful flame tongue as though he was not paying attention.

The moment the two sides made contact, the ninth layer of the Fire Domain boiled up. Black and white flames spewed out as they flew in all directions. The raging flames burned fiercely. The power contained within them was terrifying beyond compare.

However, just as this might was about to dissipate, the ghostly figure raised its hand and pinched with its five fingers.

It was a simple action, but it was as if there was boundless pressure and the flames suddenly calmed down like a tame little beast, returning to its previous calm state.

After the ghostly figure had calmed down, it raised its right hand and moved its feet towards the ninth fiery domain. The endless sea of black and white flames that was originally like a furnace and was about to refine this world was now completely overwhelmed by this ghostly figure's aura. It didn't dare to flood and obediently opened a path for him.

According to the rumors in the Sword Pavilion, the fiery domain was divided into nine levels. And after the nine levels of the Fire Domain, there was another world.

After the ghostly shadow passed through the ninth level of the Flame Domain, everything in front of him suddenly became empty. At the end of the fiery domain, it was a wasteland without any signs of life. It was a deathly still place with a radius of several zhang, and the ground was completely barren without any signs of life. Not even a single flame could be seen.

However, in the center of this ten feet area, there was a little light that was constantly pulsing.

After seeing the specks of light, the ghostly figure seemed to become excited. Its body started to tremble nonstop, and even its steps toward the specks of light started to become unstable.

Only when he arrived at the specks of light did he discover that it was actually not a speck of light. Rather, like the Nine-Layered Fire Domain before him, there was a strand of flames. However, the flames were too transparent, so they were like light.

Although the flame was weak and transparent, it still possessed a strong life force like a Vermillion Bird dancing in the air. A few sparks danced about, as if a tiny spark could burn everything in the world and turn eternity into nothingness.

Not only that, as this flame flickered, there were even some strange symbol lines that flickered and danced along with the change in the flame. The symbols constantly changed, appearing and disappearing, disappearing and appearing again. This kind of change was like the worlds were constantly collapsing one by one and then regaining life. This cycle repeated again and again.

If Lin Bai was here, he would be shocked to discover that the symbol patterns that appeared when the flame flickered were actually somewhat similar to the symbol patterns that were broken on the scarlet red metal piece that he had obtained.

The ghostly shadow stood motionlessly in front of the strange flame. Its body constantly trembled, as if it was in ecstasy or fear to the extreme. After a long while, he seemed to have made some sort of decision. He carefully lifted his finger and extended it toward the small flame that was continuously pulsating, as if he was going to enter it.

Bang! Just as the ghostly shadow's finger came into contact with the small flame, a spark suddenly exploded. Countless rays of light, which were as bright as stars, shot toward the shadow.

The sparks looked extremely small, as if a single mouthful of saliva could extinguish them all. However, when the sparks came crashing down, it gave off the feeling of a terrifying meteor falling down from the heavens.

As the sparks flew, the ghostly figure did not hesitate, and immediately withdrew its finger. Even so, his movement was still too slow. Those sparks of light dragged a long arc of light as they smashed into his body one by one.

Hiss! As the sparks entered, wisps of green smoke rose up, as if these fine wisps of smoke wanted to thoroughly incinerate the phantom like it was a piece of dried wood that had been exposed to the sun for a long time.

In just a short moment, the ghostly figure had become more ethereal, almost undetectable, as if it had turned into a faint wisp of smoke.

But even so, this was enough to shock people. The power of those sparks seemed to be able to penetrate through heaven and earth. That power only caused him to be slightly injured and not damaged. It was clear that the illusion was not ordinary.

After calming the sparks from the collision, the figure did not dare act rashly again. It quietly stood in front of the flame and stared at it for a long time before it slowly turned around as if it was reluctant to part with it and walked towards Lin Bai.

However, just as he passed through the ninth level of the Flame Domain and was about to reach the eighth level of the Flame Domain, the illusion seemed to have thought of something and suddenly intertwined two fingers of its right hand and gave a light pinch.

After a barely audible cracking sound, a tiny wisp of flame followed the direction of his two fingers and whizzed toward the eighth realm of fire.

The fire howled and instantly sunk into the five-colored flames of the eighth level of the Flame Region. The moment the two met, it was as if someone had poured a ladle of cold water into a boiling pot of oil. The entire Flame Region had completely boiled over!
