Chapter 1677: Li Fire Divine Wheel

“Greetings, young master.”

King Taishan bowed to Ye Qing first after making his appearance.

“Retrieve the evil suppressing spiritual treasure,” Ye Qing ordered.

The reason he asked King Taishan to retrieve the treasure instead of doing it himself was because he knew the kind of scumbag King Taishan was. He was certain that the man had left some sort of trap on the evil suppressing spiritual treasure; that anyone who tried to retrieve it who wasn’t King Taishan would absolutely be met with misfortune.

There was a chance he was mistaken of course, but he had no intentions of taking that risk.

Besides, King Taishan was the one who shared a deep connection with the evil suppressing spiritual treasure. It was clearly easier and more convenient for him to retrieve the treasure.

Most importantly, this King Taishan was his. What belonged to him also belonged to Ye Qing.

“As you command, young master,” responded King Taishan before summoning the evil suppressing spiritual treasure inside the monk’s body.

Buzz...

The next moment, the surrounding space vibrated soundlessly, and the monk abruptly opened his eyes. His golden pupils reflected a world and the promise of infinite power and violence.

Then, the monk saw King Taishan and dropped his pressure completely. His wide open eyes slowly closed, and he gradually regained his tranquil appearance.

I knew it.

Ye Qing let out a cold chuckle inside his head.

The next moment, the monk opened his mouth and inhaled slightly. The sea of veluriyam fire was all sucked into his mouth.

As soon as the last wisp of the veluriyam fire went out, the dazzling light that once illuminated Bei Yuan disappeared as well. Darkness immediately engulfed the entire area, though the surrounding space was still vibrating ceaselessly.

In fact, the spatial vibration and the disappearance of the light and fire had already drawn over some Fiend Demons.

There was a giant skeleton the size of a mountain and burning with endless yin fire.

There was a strange tree that was as tall as the sky and covered in fruits that were infants.

There was a quiet, strange pond with clear water but was covered in floating corpses.

There was a black river that was wholly composed of long, raven black hair.

There was a blood-drenched Taoist robe that was floating in the air and carrying a spell sword and a luopan.

So on and so forth.

They all shared one thing in common though. They were all exceedingly powerful.

As they got closer, they quickly discovered Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou.

Naturally, they charged toward them.

Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou paid them no attention though. They were both watching the monk closely.

Crack crack crack...

The next moment, cracks began appearing throughout the monk’s golden body.

Then, dazzling light and veluriyam fire were leaking out of the cracks, brighter and fiercer than ever before.

Such was its power that even the Profound Yellow Mother Qi protecting Ye Qing was sizzling and flickering erratically.

More and more cracks appeared and spread on the monk’s body. The light and fire were growing larger and larger as well. Once more, Bei Yuan was becoming as bright as day.

The Fiend Demons suffered great pain from the light, but because they lacked a mind or emotions, they continued to charge toward their targets mindlessly.

At the same time, the golden body shattered completely, and a round, golden wheel appeared in the sky.

A Buddha was sitting at the center of the golden wheel. The outer edge of the wheel was sharp and etched with all sorts of mysterious and profound runes. Veluriyam fire burned around the wheel and conjured all sorts of mirages. At the same time, a deadly shockwave washed out toward the surroundings and annihilated all filth and corruption, shattering space, and throwing time into utter chaos...

The fiend demons burned into ash upon contact as soon as they made contact with the shockwave. Nothing was left behind.

If Feng Qingyou hadn’t reacted in time and protected Qiwa and the ancient corpse with the Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud, they would have followed in the Fiend Demons’ footsteps as well.

The brilliant burst of light and power lasted over a dozen breaths before it finally dimmed and withdrew unto itself. Finally, the golden wheel landed in King Taishan’s hands.

“Li Fire Divine Wheel? Nan Ming Li Fire?”

It was at this moment an enigmatic voice echoed in King Taishan’s head, and Ye Qing let out an exclamation of surprise and realization. No wonder the fire and the light was so potent, capable of burning even those powerful Fiend Demons into ash in the blink of an eye. It was because the veluriyam fire was none other than the legendary Nan Ming Li Fire.

The Nan Ming Li Fire was a legendary divine fire from the Beyond. It was a fire of pure yang and purity. It could burn all corruption and scorch space and time. It was the bane of all things evil and corrupt, filthy and dark. It possessed limitless power.

To put it in more secular terms, the Nan Ming Li Fire was exceptionally deadly against evil, corrupt, filthy, and dark creatures. It was the true bane of those Fiend Demons.

If he channeled the Earthly Sovereign Bell with all his might, he still wouldn’t be able to kill the Fiend Demons as quickly as the Nan Ming Li Fire. That was how potent the Nan Ming Li Fire was.

But of course, the Nan Ming Li Fire had its flaws. It was much less deadly against humans and non-evil, corrupt, filthy, and dark creatures in general. This was why he was fine despite being at the epicenter of the explosion.

It was both because he was much stronger than the Fiend Demons, and because the Nan Ming Li Fire was not really effective against humans. At the very least, the effects were far less pronounced compared to what it had done to the Fiend Demons.

“Young master.”

Holding the Li Fire Divine Wheel with both hands, King Taishan respectfully walked over to Ye Qing and presented it to him.

“You can keep it for now.”

Although the Li Fire Divine Wheel looked “meek” and “harmless” right now—its light was dim, and its fire was weak—Ye Qing could sense that the power contained within it. With one thought, King Taishan could unleash a holy fire that could annihilate countless evil creatures in an instant.

Moreover, the evil suppressing spiritual treasure was under King Taishan and only King Taishan’s control even though he was King Taishan’s master. He did not know how King Taishan had done it, but that was the reality of things.

The Li Fire Divine Wheel might be quiet and harmless in King Taishan’s hands, but he had no doubt that it would unleash a terrific amount of power if he touched it recklessly.

That said, he was sure it wouldn’t take him too much trouble to refine the Li Fire Divine Wheel with King Taishan’s aid.

Still, he was in Bei Yuan right now. This was clearly not the time to be refining the evil suppressing spiritual treasure. The item was already his anyway. The refinement could wait until they were away from Bei Yuan.

Feng Qingyou walked up to Ye Qing and asked, “How did it go?”

“Mission accomplished,” Ye Qing replied smilingly.

“Good.” Feng Qingyou beamed. “Let’s leave then.”

“Yeah.”

This time, Ye Qing did not put away King Taishan. Instead, he had King Taishan hold the Li Fire Divine Wheel and lead the way.

With the evil suppressing spiritual treasure in hand, the Fiend Demons and Strangers of Bei Yuan were no longer threats. It was because both creatures moved far, far away from them as soon as they sensed the Li Fire Divine Wheel’s power. That was why they didn’t need to travel nearly as cautiously as they did during the way here. They were able to leave Bei Yuan openly without encountering a single danger along the way.
