C2010 The Blazing Fire Was Eating(2)

Yu Yuan sneered inwardly.

The will of the Earthfire, having sensed his close relationship with Yuan Lianyao, extended an olive branch to her.

Regardless of Yuan Lianyao's talent or her potential to further develop the Path of Earthfire, it was intent on elevating her to the status of a supreme primordial spirit.

What was this, if not manipulation?

To use Yuan Lianyao as a pawn, offering her ascension in exchange for a vial of precious life dew to be infused into Mo Baichuan, aiding in the creation of an entirely new race—what did Yuan Lianyao truly mean to it?

Clearly, it held no real favor for Yuan Lianyao, did not see her as a successor to cherish. In its view, she was merely a resource to be utilized temporarily.

And likely to be discarded without a second thought.

"Yu Yuan!"

Yue Mu and Zhou Cangmin called out urgently.

They watched the ever-expanding sun, aware that the Earthfire was undergoing some extraordinary transformation beyond their understanding.

Only Yu Yuan had the answers they sought!

"It's feeding, consuming in its own unique way," Yu Yuan explained amidst Yue Mu and Zhou Cangmin's shouts. "It's not just the sun aligned with Qin Luo, but also the fiery energies of the extraterrestrial starry sky and any flame forces it can perceive and capture—it might seize them all."

The creation of a new race was of great significance to the Blazing Fire; this scheme was likely not a recent development.

Yuan Lianyao's ascension was merely a minor episode, insignificant in comparison to its grand plan of birthing a new species.

Yu Yuan was certain there was more to come.

Its awakening and attempt to forge new life forms had clearly been sanctioned by another consciousness within the Earth's core.

Possibly, this was a term of its alliance with the other entity.

It required a fearsome amount of flame energy, and the sun merged by Qin Luo was nowhere near sufficient!

"Wait and see, the real spectacle is yet to unfold," Yu Yuan stated with composure.

Rip! Rip!

In the heart of a volcano, a dazzling spatial light beam suddenly wove together. Propelled by the fundamental rules of the Everlands' deepest layer, it formed a gateway.

This was a portal capable of connecting to the outside world, beckoning extraordinary entities from beyond the stars!

Within the blinding light of the gateway, a massive frog materialized, its gaze lost as it looked around before letting out a piercing scream in the ancient tongue of evilkind.

"Everlands!"

The frog, screaming in alarm, sensed impending doom and frantically tried to squeeze back through the radiant portal, eager to flee.

Yet, its green form began to swell uncontrollably.

Within mere moments, the bloated frog filled the mountaintop and was ensnared by a dark red temporal prison.

This frog, originally from Darkpinion, had heedlessly followed a mysterious summons and found itself in this place.

It was engulfed by a surge of spatial ripples and arrived here in a daze.

Upon arrival, it immediately realized the gravity of the situation and sought to escape, calling out to the Dark Phoenix for aid.

But it seemed the Dark Phoenix could not hear its desperate pleas.

The frog's cries quickly devolved into severe coughing.

In this uncharted realm, with each cough, it expelled one of the suns it had refined in its belly.

Before long, it had coughed up all seven suns it had painstakingly gathered and refined over countless years in the Wasteland.

It was left feeling utterly weak.

Each sun it had refined, brimming with its lifeblood, was considered an integral part of itself, as vital as its own heart.

These seven suns, akin to its seven hearts, were now being brutally ripped out.

"Ah!"

Amidst its tears, it saw a familiar silhouette emerge in the portal it was trying to escape through.

It was the leader of the Phoenix Clan from the Wasteland—the fire phoenix!

The same fire phoenix that had vanished from Darkpinion with its master was now here, seemingly dragged against its will as if someone had clutched its throat.

Upon her arrival, she radiated with an aura of fire.

This fiery glow was the culmination of her millennia of cultivation, imbued with blazing flame energy, encompassing the sun, Cometfire, Earthfire, and the bloodlines of alien beasts, among the fierce powers of the Wasteland.

This understanding was deeper and more enigmatic than the frog's enlightenment.

"Yu Yuan, save me!"

After parting ways with Alex, the fire phoenix, who had come to regard Dark Phoenix Zhiya as her sister, seemed to anticipate the ordeal she was about to face. From the volcano's rim, she cried out to Yu Yuan in desperation.

The fiery glow emanating from her was the result of her own flesh and bones dissolving within her. She was in a state of utter panic.

En route back to the Darkpinion Astral Domain, she detected a disturbance in her flaming soul. She realized that the Everlands' fire magic was deciphering the fire magic she had learned in the Wasteland through her own flaming soul.

Helpless to resist and unable to defend herself, she was at the mercy of the blazing fire.

She clung to a sliver of hope that the blazing fire would recognize her superior talent and quality over Mo Baichuan and grant her the ultimate secrets of flame.

But she quickly sensed that something was amiss.

Slowly, she came to understand that the Everlands had long since chosen another.

The Blazing Fire sought to create an entirely new race to carry forth its Blazing Fire Dao, with no regard for her.

By the time she realized the truth, it was too late for the fire phoenix to escape; she found herself utterly powerless.

Then, quite unexpectedly, she fainted and was whisked away through a mysterious extraterrestrial passage, only to reappear at the Everlands' volcano without explanation.

In that moment, the fire phoenix was consumed by despair and helplessness.

Confronted by the Primal Anima, she and all other beings who had delved into the secrets of fire felt insignificant and feeble.

Her attempts to absorb and refine the blazing fire to reach the eleventh level now seemed laughable.

Unable to reach her sister or find help in the Everlands, she had guessed the Blazing Fire's intentions, but to no avail.

Then, she caught sight of Yu Yuan and pinned her faint hopes on him.

She longed for Yu Yuan to extend a helping hand, to rescue her and allow her to survive.

But Yu Yuan simply shook his head with indifference.

Subsequently, numerous Emberfiends emerged at other volcanic vents, wailing in helplessness just like the fire phoenix.

The Earthfire continued to amass its strength.

Determined to forge a mighty being in its own image, akin to humans, Sky Fiends, and cosmic giant beasts, it had been preparing for countless years.

To accomplish this goal, it was willing to exhaust all of its resources and would not permit anyone to interfere with its plans.
