Chapter 1823: Li Fire Suppresses Jiuying

The moment the Li Fire Divine Wheel appeared, the chilling cold, the corrosive gas, the deathly killing intent and more abruptly receded as if they had encountered their bane.

Hot!

Pure!

Domineering!

With a thought, Ye Qing caused the light of the Li Fire Divine Wheel to swell rapidly!

Like a volcano, the Nan Ming Li Fire poured out explosively and seemingly without end. The fiery heat swept anything and everything in its path!

Scree—!

A loud, clear, and high-pitched phoenix cry resounded throughout the Blue Hole of Primal Chaos!

At the same time, nine divine vermillion birds created completely out of Nan Ming Li Fire were reborn from a sea of flames!

Wreathed in golden red divine flames, the vermillion birds boasted handsome appearances and gorgeous tail feathers. Then, they extended their wings and charged toward the nine destructive floods of power with all-purifying heavenly might!

When the wind met the flames, it was consumed so thoroughly that it left not even a sound behind!

When the acid met the flames, it exploded thunderously and evaporated into nothingness in an instant. Not even a wisp of vapor managed to take form before it was gone!

When the poisonous fire met the flames, it screamed as if it met its bane and extinguished in agony. It dissolved into puffs of green smoke and disappeared!

When the snowstorm met the flames, it rapidly melted like the last snow of winter and disappeared utterly!

When the hail met the flames, it crumbled into pieces and scattered into sparks!

When the miasma met the flames, it was instantly burned and purified into nothing!

When the dark thunder met the flames, it was annihilated without a trace and without a sound. It was as if it never existed in the first place!

When the yin lightning met the flames, it melted like snow and crumbled into nothing!

When the black light met the flames, it was forcefully dispersed and ignited in golden flames. In the end, it too perished under the flame’s power!

It was unstoppable and utterly crushing!

In just a single exchange, the nine destructive Magia that the World Ender Jiuying were so proud of was singlehandedly burned and purified by the divine vermillion birds conjured by the Nan Ming Li Fire. Not a single trace of their existence was left when all was said and done!

Even more shocking was the fact that the divine vermillion birds bathed in holy flames did not weaken despite having just annihilated nine terrible Magia at more or less the same time. On the contrary, its light grew stronger as they let out soul-shaking cries, flapped their wings, and charged toward the nine heads of the World Ender Jiuying with fearless courage and all-consuming fire!

Seeing the vermillion birds covered in flames that could boil an entire sea charging toward it and feeling the pure, terrible power that seemed capable of purifying all evil, corruption and darkness, the World Ender Jiuying’s eighteen vertical pupils contracted into pins at the same time!

Fear—an instinct that it had almost forgotten—appeared in its heart.

“The Nan Ming Li Fire?!”

The nine heads of the World Ender Jiuying cried out at the same time, “No... no! The average Nan Ming Li Fire does not possess such power! Just what is this thing?”

The World Ender Jiuying wasn’t idle despite its exclamations of shock. Its nine heads abruptly reared up and spat out even stronger wind, hail, snow, rain, miasma, poison, lightning, thunder and fire. They attempted to stop the nine divine birds from approaching them.

The black green poisonous wind transformed into a howling tornado, the river of acid turned into a tidal wave, the dark purple poisonous fire gathered into a demonic shadow, the deathly snow weaved an icy web of despair... the nine destructive powers mixed and boiled so much that the bottom of the blue hole was flipped upside down. It felt as if they were reenacting the beginning of Primal Chaos.

And yet, it was all futile.

The terrible powers that could freeze the space, erode all things, annihilate the mind and soul and more sizzled violently for an instant before they were burned, evaporated, or purified into nothing. They failed to elicit even the slightest ripple.

At the same time, the nine divine vermillion birds grew stronger and burned brighter as they continued their flight toward the World Ender Jiuying.

“Impossible!”

“What the hell are these things?”

All nine heads of the World Ender Jiuying roared in utter shock and disbelief.

Its power was absolutely yin, cold, dirty, and corruptive. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the culmination of all things negative and dead. And yet, this bizarre Nan Ming Li Fire was also pure and yang to an unimaginable extreme. It was the bane of all of its power!

It was almost as if it was born to suppress it!

“It is a gift I have purposely prepared for you. I hope you like it.” Ye Qing’s lips curled into a smirk, and his voice was calm and steady. However, the World Ender Jiuying only shivered in response.

Meanwhile, the Li Fire Divine Wheel was rotating slowly above Ye Qing’s palm. Every time it spun, more veluriyam flames would surge out and replenish the divine vermillion birds’ power.

The Nan Ming Li Fire contained within the Li Fire Divine Wheel had been nurtured in the murky qi of Bei Yuan for countless years. It fed on all things yin, dark and dirty and enriched itself on death. It had long since reached the level where its antithesis was only its fuel.

Right now, it was purer and more domineering than any Nan Ming Li Fire that existed in the world. It could burn away all things cold, deathly, dark, and dirty. It was truly the bane of the World Ender Jiuying’s power.

“Is that so? Thank you so much!” The World Ender Jiuying roared hatefully, though it could not hide the shock and fear in its voice.

“You’re welcome.”

Ye Qing replied indifferently while poking the Li Fire Divine Wheel with his fingertip.

The divine wheel shone brighter, and the veluriyam flames burning on it grew even more dazzling!

Scree—

The nine vermillion birds let out even higher pitched cries and burst into brighter divine flames. They looked like nine burning meteors when they finally crashed into the World Ender Jiuying’s nine gigantic heads and body!

SHRED—SIZZLE SIZZLE SIZZLE—

What followed was a series of disturbing melting noises that echoed throughout the Blue Hole of Primal Chaos!

Like bone boring maggots, the Nan Ming Li Fire swiftly and stubbornly spread throughout the World Ender Jiuying’s gigantic body!

The scales that were as tough as bones and covered in age spots were as frail as paper before the flame. They blackened, curled up and shattered in no time at all!

The flesh and blood underneath the scales especially were quickly charred and melted away until the bones underneath them were revealed. It smelled horrible.

“AAAAAAAAAA—”

An earthshaking howl of pain erupted from the World Ender Jiuying. Its nine gigantic heads flailed wildly like maces and struck the bottom of the blue hole repeatedly, stirring up undercurrents and shaking spaces.

It rolled and twisted its body in an attempt to put out the flames, but the Nan Ming Li Fire stubbornly clung to its flesh and blood like it had a life of its own. No matter how it struggled, it only burned stronger and brighter. All the while, it kept invading deeper and deeper into its body!

While the World Ender Jiuying was screaming in pain, the rest of the Sages finally found the opportunity to launch a combined assault!

The image of a sage behind the Chief Libationist chanted the true words and swung his Five Virtue Ruler. The five divine lights that were benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and sincerity transformed into five divine chains of order and whipped the Jiuying’s ashen scales viciously, crumbling entire chunks of flesh and kicking up thick, smelly columns of black smoke.

The Old Heavenly Master’s beard and hair were flying, and his purple robe was billowing as a skyful of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder combined into an unbelievably thick column of thunder. Brimming with rampant, destructive power, it accurately struck the snake head that spat poison fire despite its attempts to dodge and blasted it to shreds. The snake head’s scale, brain matter, and blood flew everywhere as it let out a shrill howl.

Feng Qingyou waved her hand slightly as the pentachromatic auspicious cloud behind her phased in and out like a dream. Wisps of light, ephemeral clouds and hues sneakily and soundlessly descended from the air and merged with Jiuying’s humongous body. Although the Evil looked fine on the surface, its vigor and vitality were really being eroded and annihilated at an unnatural speed. In fact, it was even more sinister and indefensible than the Nan Ming Li Fire.

Haotian Hong raised the Clear Sky Mirror and unleashed what looked like a heavenly river of golden light. It struck the snake head that spat ice squarely, melting its tough ice and evaporating its scales.

Xuanyuan Wang swung the Xuanyuan Sword with overwhelming sword qi and voluminous sword light.

The Dragon Subjugating Zen Master cast Buddhist light everywhere and filled the air with Buddhist chants...

For a time, thunder, saber, righteous qi, auspicious cloud, goldenlight, Buddhist seals, sword qi and more poured down on the World Ender Jiuying’s humongous body like a rainstorm!
