System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 373: Ch 373: Scarlet Sin Tree's Last Struggle

[Name: Dark Flame Liquid.

Rank: Divine.

Detail: The Dark Flame Liquid is a rare and potent fame. Unlike ordinary flames, as its name suggests, the Dark Flame Liquid is a flame in a liquid state that possesses a unique composition that combines the properties of liquid and fire, giving it a fluid yet fiery nature.

The flames produced by the Dark Flame Liquid are not just hot; they possess a mystical, purifying quality that targets dark energies, curses, and demonic presences. These flames are cold to the touch for the uncorrupted yet burn with an ethereal coldness that can eradicate even the most stubborn of dark forces.

The liquid's flames emit no light, but rather an eerie, black radiance that seems to consume the very light around it, casting an aura of void-like darkness.

Note: Dark Flame Liquid might be a tool to get rid of dark energies, curses, demonic presences, and several other negative effects, its very nature is dark as well. These flames absorb darkness and negative energy to grow stronger. It has the potential to surpass a True Treasure.]

Yet another growth-type treasure.

This was a flame and dark-attributed treasure that could grow by absorbing other dark treasures and negative energies. It can be said that this is a perfect weapon to get rid of the Scarlet Sin Tree since this tree in essence is also a treasure of darkness.

Most importantly, the Dark Flame Liquid can grow stronger after burning and absorbing the tree.

The corner of Alex's mouth curled up into a smile. He had no fear regarding the tree, but even so, just to be sure, he released his suppressed cultivation a little bit, raising it to the Extreme-leveled Celestial Phenomenon Stage from the initial level.

Then, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the sky right above the tree.

"Go, burn it down!"

Without hesitation, he threw the Dark Flame Liquid at the tree.

As the Dark Flame Liquid flew through the air towards the Scarlet Sin Tree, a sense of impending doom seemed to envelop the area.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

The Scarlet Sin Tree seemed to have sensed an impending danger and reacted instinctively. Its thick, crimson roots surged out of the blood pool, thrashing wildly as if in panic. The usually still surface of the blood pool became turbulent in an instant as the roots smashed the blood in the pool violently.

This action of the Scarlet Sin Tree created a huge disturbance within the Blood Pool. This disturbance caused countless blood fishes to be caught in the chaos. They were many times weaker than a divine-ranked tree like the Scarlet Sin Tree and were torn apart and crushed by its frantic movement. Their blood mixed in the blood pool, further darkening the already ominous pool.

Roar!

The next moment, the Scarlet Sin Tree actually let out a deep, guttural roar like a beast. Its sound perfectly reflected the terror it felt just now. It was a horrifying roar that echoed through the air and made the very ground tremble along with the blood pool.

The Dark Flame Liquid came in contact with the tree's top at this moment and immediately started to spread rapidly across the tree. The Dark Flame Liquid clung to the bark and branches of the tree, igniting them with a cold and eerie fire. The flames were unlike any ordinary fire; they were dark, emitting no light, but instead absorbed the light around them which created a void-like darkness.

Roar!

Bang! Bang!

The tree roared in fear and agony. Its branches whipped through the air, lashing out in every direction. They twisted and turned, trying to fend off the approaching danger. Its branches and roots enlarged and even reached up towards the sky where Alex floated. They moved with surprising speed and force.

As the tree's branches shot towards Alex, it was clear they intended to crush him. The tree's ferocious attempt to protect itself was both desperate and aggressive.

However, Alex remained calm and composed. His expression never changed.

"Humph!" Alex coldly snorted and waved his hand.

With a simple wave of his hand, a powerful force erupted from him. This powerful force caused a wave of terrifying momentum to erupt from his body that rippled outwards. The force was so immense that it instantly shattered the attacking branches and roots aimed at him. They disintegrated into ash, falling away as the tree's wails grew even louder.

Anyone who heard these wails could feel that a creature was screaming and crying in pain, a pain that was filled with both agony and despair. However, no one would try to get close to see what was happening because its wails sounded sinister and filled with malevolent intent.

The tree's very existence was eerie and dark to begin with. How can its painful screams sound like it wanted to beg for help?

The tree's once vibrant red glow was quickly overshadowed by the consuming blackness of the Dark Flame Liquid.

As the Dark Flame Liquid burned the tree, the tree's agony became more and more palpable. It writhed in pain, its roots and branches flailing wildly as it tried to resist the consuming flames. The tree's attempts to survive became more frantic. It lashed out at the blood pool, causing more chaos and destruction, but all its efforts were futile.

The flames of the Dark Flame Liquid were relentless, feeding off the tree's dark essence and growing stronger with every moment.

The once mighty Scarlet Sin Tree that had dominated the Dark Pool for an unknown number of years and consumed who knows how many souls was now being consumed by a flame. The cold flames move slowly to the trunk, burning it and consuming the dark essence within. The flame did not spare anything, it devoured the roots, branches, and even the fruits that hung ominously.

The Scarlet Sin Tree's sinister aura which had been overwhelming all this while began to fade immediately. The Dark Flame Liquid absorbed the dark energies and negative essence that had sustained the tree for countless years, and in the process, the flame was evolving. It was becoming more intense and potent.

"This flame truly deserves to be a marvelous treasure!"

Alex could not help but mutter after seeing the growth of the tree with his own eyes.

In fact, he has another flame that could devour. It was his Lawful Spirit, the Devouring Flame. [Ref. Ch: 204]

However, he doesn't know whether this flame could reach the height of the Dark Flame Liquid.

Both flames could consume and grow stronger, however, both were different in essence. One was dark and cold in nature, while the other was fiery and intense.

The tree's movement started to slow down as it was being consumed by the Dark Flame Liquid. As the final remnants of the tree were consumed, the Dark Flame Liquid seemed to pulse with horrific power. The aura surrounding the Dark Flame Liquid grew more pronounced, and then, a chilling presence erupted from it.

The Dark Flame Liquid flickered and rippled at the same time, and an intense heart swept over the surroundings, not only affecting the Blood Pool but also a much larger area outside the range of the pool.

Alex squinted his eyes, not expecting the Dark Flame Liquid to start evolving at this moment.

Just like the Scarlet Sin Tree, this flame was also a Divine-ranked Treasure. At first, Alex thought that this flame might need to devour a large amount of dark essence and negative substances, but now, all his worries were pointless.

"It appears that Xue had spent a lot to nurture this flame. It was only on the verge of evolution. It only needed an opportunity, and this Scarlet Sin Tree gave it that opportunity!"

Shaking his head, Alex continued to observe the evolution of the Dark Flame Liquid and waited an entire fifteen minutes.

After fifteen minutes, the dark flame liquid calmed down and returned to Alex. Its appearance was still the same, and even its aura was the same. There seemed to be no change in the flame, as if it had never evolved.

Alex looked at the Dark Flame Liquid's information panel.

"It actually became a Spirit God-ranked Treasure!"

Alex raised his brows and was overjoyed. This flame added another potential weapon to his arsenal.
