Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

"How could it be?" Lei Jing stared at the illusion in front of him in astonishment, his eyes full of confusion, "Didn't they say that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was stabbed to death by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire? But their relationship seems pretty good, right?"

Not only Lei Jing couldn't figure it out, the other people's eyes also frowned slightly. According to the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, he had already made an agreement with the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that he would set the Pure Lotus Demon Fire free when his time was up. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire didn't even want this freedom, but why was the rumor like that?
Only Xiao Yan remained silent. He did not feel surprised by the scene before him, as if he had expected it.

At this moment, the scene in front of him changed again. This time, it was the Pure Lotus Demon Saint sitting in his residence. His face was obviously a little weak. He leaned back in a chair and looked at the dull scenery outside. A reluctant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly.

"I wonder if that child can live well alone." After saying this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Really. I am worrying too much. With the child's strength, no one can pose a threat to him."

"It's just that he couldn't accompany me in the end, and I felt a little lonely."

As the Pure Lotus Demon Saint spoke this, his eyes flickered. As his time was running out, he could clearly feel death approaching.

"It's better this way. At least the child won't see my tragic death."

Muttering this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint slowly closed his eyes and was about to take a nap when that familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I am back!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint suddenly opened his eyes, and looked in astonishment at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that ran in from outside. Joy instinctively appeared in his eyes, and he stood up by supporting himself with a chair.

"Why are you back?"

"Hmph~ You have to thank me this time, or I'll never let you go!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire looked up at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and excitedly took out a pill and handed it to him, his eyes full of excitement.

"This is a longevity pill I got from someone. That person said that even someone of your level can extend their lifespan by at least a hundred years!"

The joy in the eyes of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a look of astonishment as he looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire who was holding the elixir. His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked back.

"Where did you get this longevity pill?"

"Didn't you give me my freedom some time ago? I got the news when I was traveling on the mainland. I followed the clues and found that person, and he gave me this pill." The Pure Lotus Demon Fire said this with a proud look on his face. "I bought this with my original fire. You must live well after eating it. Don't make me feel it's not worth it."

The origin of fire
The Pure Lotus Demon Saint suddenly understood something in his heart, a scarlet murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his hands under his sleeves were clenched until they turned white.

Come to think of it, regardless of whether this kind of elixir really exists, even if it does, only the original fire on the Pure Lotus Demon Fire can be equal to its value.

As for the longevity elixir, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint did not believe a single word of it. It was not that he did not believe in the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, but that he did not believe in the person who gave him the elixir.

The thought of a pill that could prolong the life of a half-emperor like me was a fantasy.

However, although the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could hardly suppress the anger in its heart, a gentle smile still appeared on its face.

"Well, I promise you, I will live well."

After saying this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint fed the pill into his mouth and absorbed the medicinal power under the hopeful gaze of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

It’s not that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is completely defenseless, but at his level, there are no elixirs in the world that can pose a threat to him.

And in the next second after swallowing the pill, the mind of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was as clear as a mirror.

It's just an ordinary recovery pill.

It was this Qi-restoring pill that could be found everywhere that deceived the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire into giving away its original fire.

this child
"Hey! How's it going? How do you feel?"

Just as the expression of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint became more and more ferocious, the innocent words of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire interrupted his thoughts. The Pure Lotus Demon Saint came back to his senses and responded with a slight smile.

"Yeah, I feel much better." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint squatted down slightly and raised his hand to rub the head of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. "Thank you, now I can live a little longer."

"Hehehe~"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire enjoyed the touch of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint very much and a smug and somewhat silly smile appeared on its face.

In contrast, at an angle where the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could not see, the expression on the face of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint became increasingly sinister.

The next second, the scene in front of Xiao Yan and the others changed again. At this time, only the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was there. He was pinching the neck of a low-level Dou Sheng with one hand, and dragging a cluster of strange fire with the other hand. Judging from its shape, it was undoubtedly the sub-fire of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint stared at the low-level Fighting Saint whose eyes were filled with pain and despair, and his voice was extremely sinister.

"I'm not dead yet, and you guys dare to plot against me." The Pure Lotus Demon Fire's voice was extremely low, and finally he shouted angrily, "You are really courting death!!!"

"Rao"

hum! ! !
Before the low-level Douluo could finish his begging for mercy, his body suddenly dissipated and was blown away by the breeze. Only the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was left standing there, staring at the seed fire of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in his hand. He was lost in thought, and no one knew what he was thinking.

While Xiao Yan and the others were stunned, the scene changed again. The Pure Lotus Demon Saint had returned to his residence, and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was also waiting for him in the residence. When it saw the Pure Lotus Demon Saint coming back, it jumped up to him with displeasure on its face.

"Where have you been? I said I would take you to find the man who sold me the pills. He said he still has a lot of longevity pills. Hurry up and buy some more."

"I can live quite a long time after taking the longevity pill last time. There's no rush." ​​The Pure Lotus Demon Saint said, taking out the cluster of fire and handing it to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, "Your things, keep them."

"Eh? Isn't this the fire I gave to that person? Why is it in your hand?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire looked at this very familiar cluster of original fire in astonishment, while the Pure Lotus Demon Saint said as a matter of course.

"How can you exchange your Origin Fire for a mere Life Extension Pill? I found that person and gave him something else as a price, and he very kindly returned the Origin Fire to me."

"What's so friendly about that? Who would dare to be unfriendly to you?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire glanced at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint with disdain, but still happily reached out to the Original Sub-Fire in the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's hand, which was equivalent to its soul. In order to separate this cluster of Original Sub-Fire, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire lost a lot of things. Now that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint could get it back, of course it was happy.

Looking at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that was happily sitting on the ground absorbing the original fire, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint stood in front of it with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, and said nothing.

Not long after, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which had re-melted the original fire into its body, opened its eyes, jumped up from the ground, and looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint excitedly.

"Alright! I've absorbed it all! Let's go find that guy and ask for the longevity pill!"

"Why are you so anxious, kid? Let's not talk about this for now. I have something else to discuss with you." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint put his hands behind his back, looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and chuckled, "Before, I let you go because I was about to die. This was our agreement. But now that my life span has been extended for another hundred years, then you~~~"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint deliberately prolonged his voice. Although he did not say it explicitly, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire still understood what he meant. It folded its arms and stared at him with contempt.

"Humph! You just want to tie me up, don't you? I really believed your lies in the beginning, so I agreed to you." Then the Pure Lotus Demon Fire raised its head and looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint unhappily, "Okay! After all, it was an agreement made by me, the Master Pure Lotus Demon Fire. Since you can still continue, I will stay with you for a while longer."

Although the tone was quite unhappy, the corners of Jinglian Yaohuo's mouth could not suppress the happy snicker. How could there be any reluctance in his eyes?
The Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled and said, "Then let's do it in three days. Your strength is different now. If I want to absorb you, I will have to spend some time to prepare."

As the Pure Lotus Demon Saint finished speaking, the scene in front of Xiao Yan and the others changed again. They saw the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire standing on an empty mountain top. There was a huge formation carved on the mountain top. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire squatted down and touched it, then turned to look at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

"Did you prepare this? I didn't say I didn't want to. Is it necessary to prepare such a large formation?"

“Hey! Boy, you don’t realize how terrifying your own power is, do you?” The Pure Lotus Demon Saint rubbed the head of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire vigorously. “Without the assistance of this formation, I don’t have the confidence to absorb you.”

"You are such a wimp~" The Pure Lotus Demon Fire taunted, and then waved his hand casually, "Alright, alright, hurry up, I'm ready to keep being tied up by you, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about being tied up by you again."

Even though he said this, the smile on Jinglian Yaohuo's face did not fade at all. Instead, his eyes revealed hope, as he very much wished to return to the body of Jinglian Yaosheng.

Seeing the hope in the eyes of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint looked very heavy and pointed to the center of the formation.

"Go ahead and stand in the middle of the formation."

Upon hearing the order from the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire had no doubt at all. It stood in the center of the formation in a flash, sat down cross-legged, relaxed, and waited quietly.

Looking at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in the center of the formation, countless flashes of hesitation passed through the eyes of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. Finally, he made up his mind and pinched his hands to make hand seals. The formation under the feet of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire emitted a very dazzling white light, and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire also revealed some discomfort.

However, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire did not take it seriously at first, but slowly, it discovered something was wrong.

It doesn't seem like I'm being refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint now, but more like... being sealed?

The expression of Jinglian Yaohuo suddenly changed, and he stood up abruptly and questioned Jinglian Yaosheng.

"Hey! What are you doing? What on earth is this formation for?"

However, when it looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint again, the expression of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire suddenly froze. The Pure Lotus Demon Saint in its eyes now was completely different from the gentle and happy face it had before. Instead, it was replaced by an extremely heavy expression that made it feel uneasy.

Then, very cold words came out from the face that made the Pure Lotus Demon Fire feel uneasy.

"Your power is too strong. We cannot allow you to stay on the mainland."

These words made the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's heart feel like it had sunk into an ice cellar. Panic was written all over its face. It raised its foot and wanted to rush out of the formation, but it was of no avail. It was bounced back again and again. Then the cold words of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint once again reached its ears.

"Don't struggle, it's useless. Once this formation is activated, even you will never be able to escape."

The Pure Lotus Demon Fire looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint in disbelief. It felt unprecedented sadness in its heart. It was the first time in its life that it felt despair, and it was also the first time that it shed tears.

What made him despair was not that he was about to be sealed, but that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint had betrayed him!

The next moment, the extremely desperate Pure Lotus Demon Fire revealed madness on his face. He rushed to the edge of the formation and knocked on the invisible wall. The flames continued to overflow because of his grief and anger, and he shouted and questioned the Pure Lotus Demon Saint frantically again and again.

"Why?! Why!!! Why did you betray me!!!!"

Looking at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that kept questioning him with tears and blood in its eyes across the transparent wall, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he said nothing and just stared at the Pure Lotus Demon Fire with a ferocious look.

Slowly, as time passed, the movement of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in the formation became smaller and smaller, and finally, with tears in its eyes, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire completely lost consciousness, and its petite body collapsed to the ground, while the light revealed by the formation became stronger and stronger, and finally, the thousands of kilometers of mountains disappeared without a trace along with the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan and others understood instantly.

This is the origin of the Demonic Fire Space.

Everyone had felt strange before. According to rumors, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was backstabbed by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and created the Demon Fire Space to seal the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. But could a person who was on the verge of death really have the energy left to create the Demon Fire Space, a sealed space that would not dissipate for tens of thousands of years?
And now, the answer is clear. This demon fire space was not created temporarily by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, but was prepared in advance, taking advantage of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's trust in him.

"puff!"

Just as everyone was shocked, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint suddenly covered his mouth and coughed. His breath was extremely weak and it seemed that he would not live long.

It was obvious that sealing the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire had already drained most of the energy of this man who was about to die.

Then the scene shifted again, and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint returned to his residence and sat at the table with a map spread out on the table. Xiao Yan and the others immediately recognized that it was the incomplete map that Xiao Yan had collected before.

Then, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint waved his finger, and the map split into four halves, flying towards the Zhongzhou continent and disappearing without a trace.

After what happened to the Pure Lotus Demon Saint last night, an old man with a white beard walked in. Although his appearance was very different, Xiao Yan and the others could immediately recognize him from his wise eyes. This was the Danta Ancestor from ten thousand years ago!

I saw the old man Danta coming in front of the dying Jinglian Demon Saint, he was silent, and after a moment he spoke softly.

"about to die?"

"Ah."

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded, his tone was very calm, without any of the madness of a dying man.

"After I die, please take care of the child and make sure it is taken care of by someone you trust."

"Haven't you already drawn a map? Why are you asking me for help?"

"Double insurance, please it is my own effort, and the map is a manifestation of fate."

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled faintly. He has always been like this. He believes in himself, but also believes in fate.

After a long time, Patriarch Danta nodded.

"I'll take it, as long as I can live till then."

“I’ll leave it to you.”

After hearing the response from the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, Patriarch Danta fell silent again, and then asked after a while.

"Why not tell it? Don't tell it what you're worried about and let the child misunderstand you."

"It's useless. Just talking won't work. That child has been as pure as a blank sheet of paper since he followed me. My power is too strong, so strong that he can't experience darkness at all. And I don't have enough time to teach him slowly." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint said slowly in a heavy voice, "He must experience it himself before he can learn how to protect himself."

".Is it worth it?"

Patriarch Danta asked in a deep voice, and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled weakly and said.

"Worth it!" (End of this chapter)
