The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame danced joyfully, filled with elation.
There’s hope!
Li Cheng controlled the True Fire to surge towards the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, stopping a few centimeters from the skull. Without hesitation, the flame floated out from the skull and met the True Fire!
“This is almost capable of developing Spiritual Wisdom, second only to the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!” Li Cheng thought to himself.
Not bad, with proper guidance over time, it won’t be difficult for them to speak human language, and they might even be able to cultivate on their own.
However, for the time being, he needed to find a way to stimulate the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame to expel the old man’s imprint!
With that in mind, Li Cheng withdrew the True Fire.
The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame visibly paused, then began flying around Li Cheng, as though saying, “Quick, give it to me!”
Li Cheng once again summoned the True Fire, and this time, the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame responded incredibly quickly, diving headfirst into the True Fire and frolicking within it.
Outside the cave, in the gorge, the old man’s Remnant Soul was significantly more ethereal than before, and his strength had weakened.
But the Black and White Elders weren’t faring well either; they were both heavily injured and struggling to hold on.
“This guy, though only a Remnant Soul, is unexpectedly strong. If we keep fighting, we’re most likely to end up perishing together!” Black Elder sent telepathically.
Old Bai nodded silently, “Looks like we have to call Li Cheng for help.”
“That’s not good, Li Cheng’s cultivation is at the Complete Transcendence Tribulation Stage. If he gets seriously injured, it could very likely lead to failure in his Tribulation Crossing!”
“That’s true, if he gets seriously injured, he’ll need a lot of time to recover, which will delay his ascension,” agreed Old Bai.
As the Elders communicated, they abandoned the idea of summoning Li Cheng.
“Old Bai, I’ll burn my True Yuan and strike with all my might. When you see an opening, deliver him a fatal blow!”
Old Bai’s pupils shrank, “Are you mad? The repercussions of burning True Yuan are not light; if you do this, failing the next Loose Immortal Tribulation is guaranteed!”
Black Elder’s expression was one of determination, his eyes resolute, “It matters not. My chances of surviving the next Loose Immortal Tribulation are slim anyway. A spectacular battle is better than living a wretched life.”
As he spoke, Black Elder’s aura surged dramatically!
The old man opposite him tensed up. He had no True Yuan to burn, and the energy he was consuming was all from his soul power. Continuing like this would only weaken him further.
With a cold snort, the old man advanced instead of retreating, his figure ghost-like, “Forcing me to use my ultimate move, you two lowly Loose Immortals should feel proud!”
Suddenly, within Black and White Elders’ sensory range, they saw the old man manipulating nature’s spiritual energy, forming countless sword energies that converged around him!
“Where the mind goes, the sword follows. This Sword Immortal must have been a top-tier power in the Immortal World in his previous life, right?” Old Bai’s pupils constricted.
Black Elder, who had just burned his True Yuan, was also startled. Clenching his teeth, he went all out, unleashing a pitch-black sword energy!
Before the sword energy arrived, the ground behind and beneath the old man was already collapsing under the pressure, revealing just how potent the sword strike was!
But the old man was surrounded by countless sword energies, all emanating a chilling aura. He did not dodge Black Elder’s attack and with a flick of his finger, a flood of sword energies converged and charged at Black Elder!
Old Bai’s pupils suddenly constricted, “Damn it!”
With the eyes of a Loose Immortal who had survived nine tribulations, he could see that the old man’s sword strike was something Black Elder couldn’t block!
Just as their sword energies were about to clash, the old man’s body suddenly trembled!
“The opportunity has come!”
Without knowing what was happening but ready to act, Old Bai immediately recognized it as the perfect chance!
Without the slightest delay, Old Bai’s figure moved as fast as lightning, exerting his full strength to deliver a fierce slap towards the elder.
Just as the elder’s body trembled, Old Bai’s palm had already struck, leaving no time for evasion.
Bang!
Old Bai’s attack penetrated the elder, creating a palm-shaped crater hundreds of meters deep in the ground below, while the elder’s figure became almost transparent!
On the other side, Black Elder’s attack was scattered by the torrent of sword energy, and just as the sword energy was about to hit Black Elder, it bizarrely vanished!
Even so, Black Elder was blasted away by the powerful impact and smashed into the cliffside of the canyon.
“Haha, he’s almost done for. Old Bai, give it all you’ve got!” said Black Elder, embedded in the cliff side and spitting blood, yet his expression was extremely excited.
Without waiting for Old Bai to make a move, the nearly transparent elder rushed straight for the cave, his angry roar echoing throughout the canyon, “Boy, even if I die, 1 will drag you down with me!”
Just now, as Li Cheng had expected, the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame actively expelled the elder’s mark under the temptation of the Rule of Fire!
It was precisely because of this that, at that critical moment, the elder suffered a backlash, giving Old Bai the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!
At this moment, the elder’s body was nearly transparent, and his fighting power had become very weak.
However, in his rage, he seemed to forget his own combat strength. As soon as he charged into the cave, he was suppressed in place by Li Cheng’s robust True Yuan!
The elder tried to struggle, but the remaining strength was utterly insufficient to break free from Li Cheng’s suppression, and he could only glare at Li Cheng with resentment.
At Li Cheng’s fingertips, the Youyang Soul Flame danced merrily, causing the elder to be shocked. “This is impossible!”
“What’s impossible?” Li Cheng asked nonchalantly, disregarding the elder and carefully examining the newly acknowledged Youyang Soul Flame.
“You actually grasped the Rule of Fire? And used it to make my Spiritual Fire rebel?” The elder’s eyelids twitched.
Li Cheng looked at the elder. “What do you mean ‘your’ Spiritual Fire? You simply left a mark within this Spiritual Fire. The fire hasn’t acknowledged any master, so how can there be talk of rebellion?”
“Finish him off, this old man is not simple, he has endless tricks up his sleeve, I’m afraid he’s just buying time!” Black Elder’s voice came from the cave entrance, followed by his figure appearing inside the cave.
“Finish me off? You’re thinking too much. You probably don’t even know who I am, do you?” Although suppressed in place by Li Cheng, the elder’s face suddenly regained its composure, without a hint of panic.
“He’s indeed stalling for time. Die!” Li Cheng reached out from afar, True Yuan surging, trying to strangle the elder.
But a bizarre scene occurred, the elder snorted coldly and vanished from the underground hall, leaving only his voice floating in, “Boy, just wait for me. It won’t take long before I make you wish you were dead!”
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow. “Is this an Immortal’s technique? How did he escape?”
There was no ripple of power, but the elder had indeed fled!
The Black and White Elders used all their strength to sense his presence but could not find where the elder had escaped to.
The three looked at each other and shook their heads. The elder was traceless, and they didn’t even know where to start chasing.
“This elder was an Immortal in life, and even though only a Remnant Soul remains, he can still use many methods beyond our understanding. Let it be,” Old Bai said.
Li Cheng nodded. Without the Youyang Soul Flame, if the elder couldn’t find a suitable place to recuperate, he would dissipate in just a few years.
“Black and White Uncles, how are your injuries?” Li Cheng looked at the two elders and noticed their aura was weak, both had suffered severe injuries, especially Black Elder.
“It’s nothing serious. As long as you’re alright, that’s good. What do you plan to do with these two Tribulation Loose Immortals?” Black Elder asked.
Old Bai gave Black Elder a deep look. He knew that with Black Elder’s condition, he was certain to fall in the next Loose Immortal Tribulation.
But he clearly didn’t want Li Cheng to be distracted and shifted the topic.
