Chapter 973 Devouring Strange Fire
Ye Canghai said hesitantly:

"Brother Gu, I escaped death before. Given our cultivation levels, it's best not to get too close, or I might get caught in the crossfire."

Gu Xiao was also somewhat uncertain after hearing this, because he learned from Ye Canghai that the people who surrounded and killed him and his clan were three disciples of the Jin family who were at the Golden Immortal Realm, and they were beings who could roam freely in this secret realm.

“In that case, we won’t join in the fun. However, we still need to find the Inheritance Stele. This time, I have reliable information that the Inheritance Stele is in the center of the secret realm. While the Wanqi family’s guards are holding off the Evil Immortal, we should hurry to the center of the secret realm.”

Gu Xiao also had his own selfish motives. Under the current circumstances, it was too dangerous to act alone. It would be safer to travel with companions. Besides, even if they found the inheritance stele, they would still need to pass a test to obtain the inheritance. He wasn't afraid that others would take a share, so he generously shared the news.

Upon hearing this, Ye Canghai perked up, and the two immediately reached an agreement to abandon their journey to the Casting Volcano Crater and instead head towards the center of the secret realm.

Of course, some immortals also wanted to take advantage of the situation, so they secretly approached the crater of the Forged Volcano, hoping to see a scene where both sides were injured, so that they could reap the benefits.

Inside the crater of the cast volcano, the forces of ice and fire were still locked in a tug-of-war. However, due to the freezing power, the magma was temporarily frozen, and the magma was increasing its power to consume the ice-type source power. Therefore, it could not provide the blood-red flame with purer fire-type immortal energy, so it gradually became at a disadvantage when it was entangled with the purple smoke.

Two quarters of an hour later, the purple smoke transformed into a large mouth, swallowed the ball of blood-red flame into its body, and then flew back to its master's palm.

Yunxi put away the Seven Star Deadly Staff and slowly landed on a protruding rock in the lava. She frowned as she watched the flames that turned purple and then blood red, and somewhat uncertainly communicated with her natal flame:
"Purple Smoke, what happened? Did the process of devouring the magma flames not go smoothly?"

But Ziyan didn't respond to Yunxi immediately. Yunxi waited a while longer and then continued to ask:

"Ziyan, would you like me to lend you a hand?"

"Master, the spirit of this flame has been devoured by the nascent soul you injured."

Ziyan only replied with that half-sentence before continuing her struggle with the flame for control of her main body.

Yunxi instantly connected all the events: because of the existence of that blood jade talisman, she protected the possessed immortal infant and accidentally fell into the Casting Volcano with the infant.

When the nascent flame born in the magma pool approached her, the celestial infant seized the opportunity to change its vessel and become the master of the flame. That's why it launched an attack without warning as soon as it saw her appear.

Now, the Immortal Infant is vying with Ziyan for control of the Strange Flame. If she succeeds, she can use the contract seal between Ziyan and her to enter her sea of ​​consciousness. She's really playing her cards well. Yunxi's gaze darkened, and then she carried the flame back to the space.

The moment she entered the space, she appeared in the coldest part of the "Ethereal Snowfield" secret realm. She waved her hand, sending the flame in her palm into the millennia-old ice, and then transmitted her voice:

"Purple Smoke, I will help you fuse with the magma flame. You only need to completely obliterate that celestial infant using the power of lightning."

"Yes, Master!"

After discovering that it had been moved to a different location, Ziyan knew that its master would definitely help it eliminate the escaped infant immortal. This was the first time its master's domain had been broken, and if it didn't avenge this, it wouldn't be its master anymore, so it readily agreed.

The sudden drop in temperature made the magma flames very uncomfortable, and they were naturally suppressed. Taking advantage of this gap, the purple smoke pounced on them and began to devour the magma flames, not giving the celestial infant a chance to hide.

Yunxi channeled a continuous stream of lightning-type immortal energy into Ziyan's body through the contract seal, instantly boosting Ziyan's aura. After enveloping the magma flames, Ziyan used the power of lightning and fire to strike the heart of the flames. In less than a quarter of an hour, Ziyan sensed that the magma flames were conceding defeat.

However, Zi Yan dared not relax at all. The opponent was not the original consciousness of the magma flame, but the nascent soul of a Golden Immortal. It was impossible for him to admit defeat so easily. Therefore, Zi Yan immediately communicated with Yun Xi:
“Master, this guy is showing weakness to me. He probably wants to launch a counterattack when I let my guard down.”

"Don't worry, I will fully support you. Just pretend to show a weakness so that he will give up his magma flame body and enter your body. Only then can you completely destroy the immortal infant."

"Yes, Master!"

After devising a strategy, each person and fireman acted accordingly.

As expected, the celestial infant weakened due to the suppression of the purple smoke and seized the opportunity to burrow into the heart of the purple smoke's flames, attempting to devour the purple smoke's spiritual light. But this was exactly the opportunity the purple smoke had been waiting for. A net woven with lightning enveloped the red light, with strands of lightning piercing through it. With each attack, the red light shrank, accompanied by a mournful howl.

Ziyan felt a headache coming on, so she stretched out a leg and kicked the red light ball and the electric grid out of her body, so as not to contaminate her body.

As the red ball of light flew out, Yunxi easily caught it with her hand, which was covered in lightning power, and said with a cold smile:

"You think you can hide in the flames and I won't be able to find you? You're really asking for trouble. There's a way to heaven, but you choose to walk into hell."

After saying that, he slowly increased the pressure in his hand, preparing to crush the other person directly.

"No! Please, fairy, have mercy! I have important information about the Jin family that I can exchange with you, just please let me go."

Yunxi paused, her hand still gripping the object tightly. She was certain that the other party's immortal infant had been reduced to less than half by the Demon-Slaying Divine Rune, which was why it couldn't directly possess other immortals and had chosen to reside in the lava flames. However, she was now more interested in the Jin family's information.

"Tell me what you know. If it's really useful, I'll consider letting you go."

"Our possession of Jin family cultivators was with the consent of the Jin family patriarch. We had a deal: we would use the identities of Jin family members to enter the secret realm and help them kill all the immortals who entered the secret realm, especially the family disciples of Wanhao Immortal City. In return, the bodies we used had to die in the secret realm so as not to cause any trouble for the Jin family."

Yunxi said coldly:

“I already knew that. I searched for the soul of that guy named Jin Quan before, but this information is useless to me.”

After saying that, he continued to increase the force in his hands.

"Wait, I know what the Jin family's treasure for probing immortal veins is!"

"Oh? Tell me."

"It is a magical herb."

Yunxi replied subconsciously:

"Immortal Herb?"

"How did you know?"

The other party was clearly very surprised as well.

Yunxi replied calmly:
“I told you I’ve searched your soul, and that I don’t know anything about it.”

The crippled celestial infant stubbornly retorted:
"That's impossible! Only I know about this!"

Yunxi deliberately provoked:
"Tsk tsk, it seems your position as the boss isn't so secure after all. Once a secret is known to a second person, it's no longer a secret."

The celestial infant remained silent for a moment, and just as Yun Xi increased her power to crush the opponent, the opponent immediately spoke:

"We have found a way to enter the Sea of ​​Burial Gods. This time we entered the secret realm to form a contract with the Fire Forging Secret Realm, but unfortunately..."

Yunxi's eyes flickered. She was very familiar with the evil immortal's tricks. He wanted to use the secret realm to build a passage into the Burial God Sea.
