Chapter 62: The Only Immortal Flame
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sky exploded with thunderous roars, and the terrifying Storm threatened to topple the fort from a great distance.
Yun Ye was at risk of being blown away while on the city wall, so he crawled into the fort interior and crouched in a corner, the safest spot he could find.
Finally, at this moment, Yun Ye had time to pay attention to the battle in the sky.
This fight was truly a clash of gods.
Yun Wen couldn’t fly, but he constantly extended stone pillars in the air, effortlessly changing positions.
His movements and rhythm flowed like clouds and water; each move was flawless, and every second was a perfect gem. Despite the Thousand-eyed Demon’s thousands of eyes, firing destructive rays, it could not even touch Yun Wen.
This was astonishing! Maintaining such precision in movement and rhythm during intense combat was definitely not something that could be achieved merely by having a powerful Spiritual Law.
The fighting wisdom contained within was instinctually engraved in his bones, leaving Yun Ye in awe.
Although Yun Ye’s Extreme Flames held great power, his combat skills were simply too poor. Against someone of the same level like Yun Wen, there was only one outcome: defeat.
Yun Wen’s performance was terrifying.
But Liu Wujing was even more frightening; he could actually fly!
Unlike Yun Wen, who relied on stone pillars to ascend, Liu Wujing flew directly in the sky after the battle began, moving at a speed comparable to Yun Ye with his physical qualities enhanced three hundred times, becoming the absolute main force of this battle.
As for Captain Chao Zichong, who also joined the fray, his inability to fly limited his contribution, as he provided defense and support for the two.
Chao Zichong was a water Spiritual Roots cultivator, but unlike Xiang Liangren, he specialized more in attack and defense.
Even his Spirit Sense attacks were effectively nullified, proving to be much stronger than Xiang Liangren’s; they didn’t break with just one touch.
His water blade attacks constantly sliced upward, and the crowd didn’t initially feel their strength.
But when a chaotic-level monster suddenly leaped from the ground to ambush Chao Zichong, that small water blade cleanly sliced through its massive body, continuing to cut across the plains until it reached the Duanqiao River…
It was not until the center of Duanqiao River that this water blade disappeared due to a special force; otherwise, no one doubted that this small water blade could have sliced through hundreds of meters of earth, cutting off the flow of the entire Duanqiao River.
This is what a captain is; each one is astonishingly powerful. Their combat was completely beyond the reach of ordinary Black Armored Spiritual Law.
Yet, even with these three incredibly tough individuals, they still hadn’t quickly defeated the Thousand-eyed Demon.
The demon eyes they had shattered rapidly reformed… They had to find its true form to genuinely kill the Thousand-eyed Demon!
These external demon eyes were illusions, mere facades!
Only one eye was real!
…
The battle continued for a long time.
Yun Ye could already see his life ticking down.
In comparison, Wang Lixian was nearing exhaustion, having to throw out protective talismans to support the barrier.
But that was still not enough; when he finished using the talismans, the Eye of Death showed no signs of ending.
So, Wang Lixian squeezed out more power to maintain the spirit energy protection until he fainted.
Terrifyingly, the defense created by Xie Rongfu did not envelop him.
In just a few seconds, Wang Lixian’s breathing stopped.
As Wang Lixian’s spiritual light gradually diminished, Yun Ye realized that the first Spiritual Law master had died.
From the beginning until now, it had only been two or three minutes, and already one had succumbed to death.
Even with his Heart Fire, Yun Ye, due to his low spiritual level, could only hold on for about four minutes; he clearly felt death approaching.
Even worse,
it was counting down!
Yun Ye began to stuff spirit pills into his mouth, trying his best to restore his life energy.
But despite being called spirit pills, they were merely ordinary medicines and couldn’t be compared to true spirit pills; their recovery speed had its limits.
These pills ordinarily took several minutes to take effect, and on a minute-by-minute basis, they were not very helpful.
“I can hold on for three more minutes, no… two minutes! Think of a solution quickly, think of a solution! Shouldn’t a traveler be the protagonist? At times like these, I should have a brilliant idea!”
Yun Ye’s mind was in mild chaos.
On one hand, he could reincarnate, theoretically unafraid of death.
But all the ties of this life would vanish into nothing.
Yang Shu and his wife, his newborn brother, and little Yue, whom he had worked hard to keep safe…
There was still so much unknown in this world for him to explore.
He couldn’t die.
And once fear of death arose, human thoughts became chaotic, leading to considerations that were completely unhelpful, cluttered and unrelated; if one had to describe it with a phrase, it would be like a revolving lantern.
Yun Ye thought of many things; he thought of his life over the years, of the promises he made to himself, and of various modern heroes.
He had always felt ordinary.
Modern heroes could be reborn amid endless dead ends, breaking through the world’s malice.
But what about him?
He was utterly helpless just facing the company’s 996 work schedule.
He gave up his career, holed up at home to write, and ran off to do manual labor; the world would not and could not change.
His absence or presence meant nothing.
He was such a weightless ordinary person.
In the new world,
it was the same.
He exerted great effort to study the essence of Spiritual Law and sought ways to safely obtain resources.
Then, a group of beings born standing at the pinnacle freely wielded their power; even the aftershocks compelled him to struggle desperately to survive.
This world was even more terrifying than modern times. Beneath modern humanity’s brilliance, there still seemed like hope to block the gunfire with flesh and blood.
But in this world, as the Storm surged, the entire land was swept away, making the strength of the weak seem utterly insignificant.
“I must survive and follow the path of this life…”
Anger and bitterness could not save the weak; only by mastering strength and exhausting wisdom could one hope.
Yun Ye possessed the ability of infinite reincarnation; could he still fear death? Could he still fear his inability to change everything?
Thus, Yun Ye calmed himself, firmly grasping that fleeting breakthrough.
All this was thanks to the gifts of modernity.
His thoughts were alive and could maximize the use of the Spiritual Law system.
“Immortal Flame, your burning no longer needs to target any material…”
“Only burn this gray light!”
The Heart Fire extinguished.
Flames rekindled around his body.
The new flames looked just like ordinary fire, fully enveloping Yun Ye, making him appear as merely a larger campfire.
But Yun Ye knew that the Immortal Flame was entirely different now.
If the previous Immortal Flame burned everything but lacked focus,
now the Immortal Flame didn’t burn anything but instead focused solely on one thing: the omnipresent death gray light in this space!
As soon as the uniquely Immortal Flame was born, Yun Ye didn’t even need to infuse spirit energy; the flames surged explosively, forming a completely closed defense, stopping the loss of his life.
This was only natural.
Yun Ye nearly converted all his spiritual energy into one form; the enhancement to his spirit was utterly terrifying.
Now, the death gray light was to the Immortal Flame what oxygen was to fire!
