Chapter 587: Bitter struggle
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
He got this treasure when he descended to this world. It was unpredictably good, bringing uncountable advantages. At the critical moment, the Blood Vein Ring always surprised him, converting danger to safety.
Today, since his life power was drained rapidly, he was extremely anxious, worrying about the battle of the four heaven flames.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Flame was too powerful. From what his hollow soul had observed, the union of Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, and the Earth Flame couldn't oppress it. With this trend, not long afterward, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame would empty out his life energy.
This was the first time he had regretted fusing with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. The feeling of having a heaven flame grabbing the neck was really aggrievedly helpless.
He wanted to overturn the bad situation, but he couldn’t find a solution. At the critical time, he remembered the Blood Vein Ring.
The divine sword Sky Destroyer taken out of the Chasm Battlefield was a God level treasure, but the Blood Vein Ring could pocket it. As the sword stayed idle inside the Blood Vein Ring, it meant this ring could subdue the God level secret weapon.
It was the same with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame’s and the Ice Cold Flame’s cases. The Blood Vein Ring’s power could oppress and guide them. Eventually, they had to surrender.
From this point, the Blood Vein Ring was much stronger than the Sky Destroyer and the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame. Shi Yan was struck.
Pulling himself together, he gathered the energy of his consciousness into a bunch of life then jumped into the Blood Vein Ring.
"I need help!"
The ring on his finger sparkled with blood light. That light was like water murmuring, covering the entire ring. Beams of strange energy overflowed from the exquisite but complex patterns on the ring. Divine aura of the ring gathered and increased fiercely. It became apparent from time to time.
Thump Thump Thump!
Rumbling sounds came from the ring, which sounded like the vigorous heartbeat and the rumbling of a drum.
A vague thought shot out from the ring, entering the deep area of Shi Yan’s host soul.
Shi Yan’s eyes brightened.
He could feel that the thought from the ring had settled in the center of his host soul. It was like a bunch of light energy searching the memory seal of the host soul as it was receiving what Shi Yan had experienced recently.
Ear-splitting waves of soul resonance reverberated in his host soul.
Shi Yan was trembling hard as the energies in his body were rioting like beasts escaped from their chains, furiously getting out of the cage.
Soul energy of the host soul was vibrating at the same frequency. It seemed to be sublimated!
Flows of soul energies were like they had been gifted a new vitality, surging robustly like boiling water.
In the marvelous space, thunder and lightning were swaggering in the sky. Lightning strikes as big as a rock column were flying everywhere, packing the entire place.
Flames burst from the silver fire sea by the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was struck into ashes. Its power scattered rapidly.
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was putting forth everything to counter. It condensed and shelled flows of soul-destroying will, bravely fighting the lightning.
Although they were all heaven flames, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was ranked lower than the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, and its life was one grade lower than the other. Both of them had consumed much of their energies, but the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame could subdue it easily.
Without the soul power from Shi Yan, it should have been defeated earlier, and it couldn't continue gathering power to fight the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
Although the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth flame were giving it assistance, these two heaven flames weren’t strong enough. The union of the three of them couldn’t gain the upper hand.
The silver fire sea under the bombarding of waves of lightning strikes was about to drain!
All of a sudden, a sharp soul power appeared from somewhere far away like a spear piercing through space.
The small, handsome face inside the silver fire sea was thrilled.
The sharp soul power tore the sky and descended into the silver fire sea. After a surging wave splashed, Shi Yan’s hollow soul appeared in this space once again.
This time the hollow soul was covered in layers of energy. In the silver fire sea, it was intact under the furious lightning strikes.
"How could you get here?" the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame sent him a happy thought.
Shi Yan’s hollow soul cracked a silent smile. "You don’t need to care about that. I will unite with you to drain the lightning power!"
From the horizon of the nothingness, countless lightning strikes interweaved, creating a phantom of a giant Ancient God.
He observed things under his feet disdainfully. Thunder and lightning reverberated from that giant God, shooting to the ground.
Shi Yan faced up the sky. His hollow soul was condensing energy, then shooting clusters of gray light from his palms.
Gray light clusters gathered and then condensed into the shapes of the Five Devils in his Sea of Consciousness. They slowly emerged from the silver fire sea.
Desperate, fear, bloodthirsty, greed, and resentment were the five flows of negative emotion exuded from the ferocious appearance of the Five Devils. These five flows surrounded Shi Yan’s hollow soul, created a pentagonal seal.
Five flows of negative emotions connected to Shi Yan's hollow soul. At that moment, the hollow soul had an incomparable surging soul fluctuation in this strange space.
Shi Yan's hollow soul strongly drove the silver fire sea to surge furiously. The sea used to be subdued, but now it was turbulent again. Big waves rose to the sky, releasing the immense soul destroying energy.
The god thunder and lightning struck from the horizon of the nothingness had been added with pure will. But when they came near the sea fire, big waves swarmed over, rolling them away and destroying them all. Big waves didn’t give the lightning a chance to escape.
In the fire sea, Shi Yan’s hollow soul was circled by the pentagonal seal formed by the Five Devils. He lifted his head to look at the giant phantom of the Ancient God in the horizon of the nothingness.
All of a sudden, divine light condensed by the five negative soul wills including desperation, fear, bloodlust, greed, and resentment shot out of the hollow soul’s eyes. It then turned into a light shield to receive the big lightning strikes, then directed them backward to the center of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame’s original will.
It was like the sky was falling. Glorious rays of light bloomed out from the horizon. Fierce energy movements rose the big waves. Sky collapsed, and the nothingness shattered. Countless beams of different kinds of energies had their trajectories changed, fluttering disorderly.
The Giant Ancient God phantom was condensed by the original will of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. It was shattered from the impact with the divine light of the negative will. The phantom was broken like shattered crystal, shooting over the sky like a meteor shower, as beautiful as the most glorious firework performance.
Flows of god thunder and lightning struck from the sky, but the soul will added in it was destroyed, which misdirected the attack. They didn’t aim at the three heaven flames.
When the fire sea and the two rivers recognized the dramatic change in the horizon, they seized the opportunity to condense the power and soared up to the sky.
Icicles, ice monsters, the fiery scarlet flame, and the soul-destroying silver light pierced through the massive lightning strikes. They were like three sharp swords thrusting into the original will of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.
So many forces were taking care of the Ancient God phantom, pushing it to the corner. It couldn’t resist any longer.
The phantom was as though it was torn apart by invisible hands, turning into misshaped figures. The god thunder and lightning in it were all scattered. They couldn’t bind to each other like a rope again.
Shi Yan’s hollow soul was cold and ruthless. There was no beam of affection in his eyes while he was gazing at the horizon, pushing his force further.
The negative soul will that came from the Five Devil was manipulated by his host soul, guiding the other forces to destroy the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame’s original will in the sky.
The fire sea and the two rivers were situated in much lower terrain; seizing the chance, they urged all of their powers rocketing to the sky. At the same time, they were gradually floating towards the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame’s original will.
"Despicable human… You dare break my good business? I’ll make you consigned to eternal damnation!"
The brutal and crazy thought of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame expanded in the void. Just like the Ancient God snarling indignantly, it shot directly towards Shi Yan’s soul.
This soul will moved swiftly in the sky. It condensed hundreds of lightning strikes, like a lightning dragon that wanted to destroy all creatures, and rumblingly attacked him.
The deep power that could open the sky and slit the earth emerged from the giant light column created by lightning. It was a natural power that only creatures living in the Antiquity Time could understand. It was so powerful that it could take the will of resistance from creatures away, which created a mood of being willing to get burned and destroyed.
The three heaven flames were stopped in that ancient, powerful will; their powers became chaotic.
The Five Devils circling Shi Yan’s hollow soul were also affected. They suddenly shrank into five gray light spots, as big as a walnut.
The soul will assistance that came from the Five Devils was cut off. So, Shi Yan couldn't sense furthermore.
That brutal lightning column had crushed all kinds of lights. The fire sea and the ice wall hindering its way were smashed as easy as breaking a dried tree branch. It was powerful like a storm, as it struck out invincibly.
The eyes of Shi Yan’s hollow soul were like ice sabers, with a strange red light dot sparkling indefinitely in the pupils.
"With such soul will, you dare to interfere the destined battle of the high grade living beings like us? Your soul will disappear forever in the river of history."
The thought of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame reverberated in the entire space, tearing people’s souls and thrusting towards people’s hearts.
The three heaven flames seemed to be tied down under this will. They couldn’t even muster an attack.
"Master, this is the World Extinguishing Thunder Light of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. It’s the overflowing of his original will. In this world, besides some scarce substances, no soul could bear it directly. This war is ours. Your soul shouldn’t enter this place!"
The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame addressed Shi Yan its ‘Master’ for the first time. In its eyes, perhaps Shi Yan was about to fall here. There should be no soul of any living beings in this space except for the heaven flames. If he dared to go against the rules of the destined battle, he would be punished.
The Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame sent him their worried thoughts. As they could sense the danger Shi Yan was about to bear, they were all anxious.
The World Extinguishing Thunder Light struck down furiously, covering Shi Yan’s hollow soul and burning it.
The three heaven flames were desperate.
However, inside the World Extinguishing Thunder Light, a blood spot was still sparkling, as beautiful as a ruby.
