Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

Beneath the magnificent, pale shadow of the ancient tree of life, drooping catkins and golden threads sway and dance. A golden glow illuminates the enormous, white-glowing pair of wings below, making them appear as if they were a giant flower bud.

The beautiful flower bud, interwoven with golden and white light, was actually a flower bud of death. The black flame Ledo trapped inside had countless terrible cracks appearing on his pitch-black body and golden nascent soul. He still gritted his teeth and persevered in agony, but it seemed that he would explode into pieces at any moment and perish.

Unable to bear the pain any longer, Black Flame Ledo roared, and a strange warm current suddenly flowed out of the Five Elements Wheel at the top of his head. Through the great circulation of spiritual energy, it quickly flowed into the meridians of his entire body, immediately relieving the excruciating pain.

At the same time, at the life-stem of Black Flame Ledo, it began to rapidly draw upon the orderly energy of the nearby ancient tree of life. This energy entered Ledo's body, neutralizing the yin energy of the underworld, and even began to merge with it.

The feeling of energy bursting through his body and the bone-chilling cold of the Netherworld Flames gradually faded and disappeared. Black Flame Ledo was surprised and then overjoyed. He then remembered that when he first entered the Netherworld Demon Transformation, he was able to forcibly absorb the energy of the ancient tree into his body without his consciousness.

At this moment, the process became surprisingly smooth. The two energies, the Netherworld Flame and the Ancient Tree Energy, which were originally mutually exclusive, no longer resisted each other. They naturally merged into a new stream of magic in his life furnace, flowing towards the Tree of Life.

Ultimately, this stream of magic was refined into fusion energy by the golden nascent soul, and flowed back into his entire body, nourishing his physical body and spiritual soul.

With the addition of the ancient tree's ordered energy, the healing effect became extraordinary. In less than a moment, the cracks covering the body of the black flame Ledo were rapidly healed, and the cracks on the golden nascent soul also completely disappeared.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless... the sun and moon wax and wane, the stars and constellations are arrayed..." Mysterious and profound scriptures echoed from within the embrace of death, where the black flame Laido sat cross-legged, the black flames in his eyes burning brighter than ever before. "Five Elements Earth Technique, Following the Laws of Heaven and Earth, Moving Mountain Seal!"

The black dragon head of the Dragon Gravel Curse had long been destroyed by the Netherworld's malevolent poison. Black Flame Ledo floated in the gradually shrinking winged cage, with an enormous ant appearing beneath its feet. It carried Ledo and transformed into a towering Hercules.

Hercules' deep yellow body rapidly expanded, with black flames leaping around its outer layer. He raised his hands high, lifting a majestic mountain peak—a mountain burning with black flames—and a terrifying power emanated from it.

His body grew larger and larger, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters... soon filling the entire space of the Death Embrace, and began to expand outward.

The immense energy surged against the inner walls of the Death Embrace. The Mountain Shifting Seal in the Netherworld Demon state had increased in power several times over, making it the most powerful attack among all the spells cast by Ledo.

Suddenly, Hercules, extremely dissatisfied with his current predicament, stood up abruptly. The giant, nearly fifty meters tall, straightened his arms and lifted the Black Flame Volcano, which was over eighty meters tall in total. In an instant, he broke through the seal of the Embrace of Death and saw the light of day again.

"...What?" Eight-winged Riki was extremely surprised. He had clearly sensed that the Black Flame Ledo, whom he had locked in the Embrace of Death, was becoming weaker and weaker, and should have been directly corroded by the Netherworld Poison soon.

At this moment, the trapped Black Flame Ledo suddenly surged in power, transforming into a giant nearly eighty meters tall within a few breaths, easily breaking through his ultimate magic.

Most terrifyingly, Eight-Winged Riki found his body reacting strangely slowly, and his spirit and soul were also sluggish. For a moment, he was unable to move, as he was sealed by a strange energy.

"Damn it!" Eight-winged Reki felt uneasy and quickly conjured the dark green spear in his hand. He had not expected that the seemingly defeated Blackflame Ledo would still possess such powerful magic, and he was prepared to use his magic weapon to forcefully counter it.

"Young Master of the Light and Shadow Guild? You bastard... Go to hell!"

Blackflame Ledo's emotions gradually became volatile. The Hercules illusion was magnificent and incredibly brave. Without any unnecessary movements, he directly smashed a black fiery mountain towards the eight-winged Riki. A mountain-shaking aura instantly swept across the heavens and earth, extremely domineering.

Eight-winged Riki was stunned for a moment, then completely dumbfounded. He never expected that Dark Ledo's powerful attack would be a mountain thrown at him.

Faced with this simple and brutal attack, he could have easily dodged, but his movements were restricted, and he had no way to avoid the terrifying fiery mountain that was crashing down on him. He was extremely embarrassed and angry, and struggled unwillingly to break through.

In an instant, Reggie sensed the approach of death. His eight dark green wings began to vibrate violently as he tried to cast some forbidden magic. However, his spirit and soul reacted slowly, and even the magical energy circulating in the Furnace of Life became extremely slow.

This sense of powerlessness enraged Regi. He recklessly unleashed the Netherworld Poison, and the eight wings behind him began to transform into ten wings.

However, before Reki could continue gathering Nether Energy, the Black Flame Volcano had already crashed down. The eight-winged Reki was forced to stop accumulating Nether Energy and could only retract his eight wings, his hands still tightly gripping the dark green spear in front of his chest and abdomen, doing his best to defend.

"Crack...crack...bang...boom..."

First came the sound of a spear breaking, followed by the sound of Reki's wings and ribs snapping. The eight-winged Reki was blasted dozens of meters away by the entire Black Flame Volcano and finally crashed into the jade arena, his bones breaking and flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

The incredibly hard ground was dented more than five meters deep by the impact, and the surrounding floorboards were completely shattered. Even the floorboards further away were covered in burning ghost flames and countless cracks. Even with the protection of the ancient tree's energy, it took a long time to recover.

"Ah... damn it, damn it, damn it..."

However, despite such a brutal attack, Reggie was still alive. After the black flame volcano dissipated, he slowly rose from the still-burning black flames and floated on the ground. His body swayed, and even though he couldn't speak, he was cursing and screaming angrily.

Ricky's body was mangled beyond recognition. His left arm and thigh were smashed into a bloody pulp, dripping black blood. All his ribs were broken, and of the eight wings behind him, only three remained, with one wing broken. Clearly, he had suffered unprecedented severe injuries.

He looked at his own body, his anger growing. The dark flames of Yin Sha continued to burn on the left side of his body. Regi's eyes turned cold, and with a flap of his wings, blood splattered again.

Regi decisively used his wings to cut off the part of his body that was ignited by the black flames, scraping away the bones and flesh, forcibly stripping away the burning and corrosive influence of the Netherworld Flames.

Subsequently, the dark green poisonous mist on Ricky's body quickly enveloped his flesh, forming his left hand and left leg in energy form. The Netherworld Poison on his body had faded, indicating that he had consumed a great deal of energy, but he still had the strength to fight.

The black flame Ledo, who had escaped the embrace of death, was extremely shocked to see this scene. He had not expected that Reki could survive such an attack and immediately get up and cast a spell to prepare for a counterattack.

Blackflame Ledo wouldn't give Ricky any extra time to heal. He moved swiftly, transforming into a black flame vermilion bird, and swooped down from mid-air, wanting to finish off his opponent quickly, because his Netherworld Demon Transformation only had one minute left...
