This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Ling Jue looked at the darkness below and his heart tensed up.

Since she was a child, she has had an inexplicable sense of these dangers, and it is with this ability that she has been able to avoid many dangers.

She could feel that there must be something extremely terrifying hidden underneath.

In the bottomless darkness, dots of blue gradually emerged.

Generally speaking, blue is a color that can make people feel calm and peaceful, but in the deep sea, it does not have such an effect and instead makes people feel uneasy.

Because the ocean itself is an unpredictable place. No one knows how many creatures are bred in the ocean. To ordinary people, the deep sea is like a terrifying abyss.

The blue light spot gradually grew larger, and Void Devouring Flame also felt a strange fluctuation in it, just like... the perception between the same kind.

Soon, the mysterious blue light revealed its true appearance.

It was a whale-like monster, waving its fins quickly and rushing towards the bubble where the two were. Its seemingly huge and clumsy body had an incredibly amazing speed. There was a strong blue flame in its eyes, and its open mouth had a powerful suction force. Corals, seaweed, and even schools of fish, as long as it targeted something, would be sucked into its mouth.

"This guy is not a picky eater."

"Mr. Xu Yan, now is not the time to judge whether it is picky about food or not?" Ling Jue watched the giant whale getting closer and closer to them. If they didn't do something, they would probably be sucked in together.

"Don't worry."

The whale was getting closer and closer to the two of them, and Void Devouring Flame was able to see its full appearance.

"Is this the Giant Whale of the Arctic Ocean?!" Ling Jue couldn't help but scream out in surprise. Unlike those ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters, although the Giant Whale of the Arctic Ocean had a huge body and amazing strength, it was a rare monster with a gentle temperament.

However, the giant whale in front of him had not only its eyes but its entire body covered in blue flames, and the voice from its mouth was filled with murderous intent, which was completely different from ordinary giant whales in the polar sea.

"It is true." Looking at the blue flames on the giant whale, Void Devouring Flame smiled.

"Mr. Xu Yan, what's going on? I heard that the giant whales in the polar sea would not attack people on their own initiative."

"Generally speaking, that's right, but did you see those flames? Generally speaking, only aggressive monsters can cultivate beast fire on their own, but monsters like the Polar Sea Giant Whale, which have a low desire to attack, cannot cultivate beast fire. Moreover, this Polar Sea Giant Whale is now extremely violent, and it is obvious that this is not its own will. There is only one possibility, that it is those flames that made it so ferocious."

"Am I right, Sea Heart Flame?" Void Devouring Flame looked at the flames on the giant whale. "It's a good idea to hide in the body of the polar whale and use its body as a cocoon to nurture myself, or a hotbed to strengthen my strength."

The giant whale in the polar sea let out a heart-shaking roar, as if it understood the words of Void Swallowing Flame. The sea water began to churn rapidly under this roar, and a large amount of foam surged to the surface, just like boiling water in a kettle.

With such huge changes happening on the seabed, the situation on shore would naturally not be much better.

"Master Priest! How come the sea water just calmed down and started to churn again?"

"Yes, could it be that the sacrifice did not suit the Sea God's taste and the Sea God was angry?"

Driven by fear, most of the onlookers had already hidden in the mountains far away, and only a few "brave" people stayed nearby, but at this time, they also had some thoughts of retreating. After all, most of them were only fighters or even fighters, and although they were a little stronger than ordinary people, they were still vulnerable in the face of the surging waves.

Although the priest was already extremely anxious, he still remained calm on the surface. "Don't be afraid. That person must be trying to resist the Sea God without knowing the consequences. I will tell the Sea God!"

As he spoke, the priest began to mutter something in an incomprehensible language, which startled the few people.

"Damn it! What on earth did that bastard do? I gave him the blue ice snake gall that I bought at a huge price to eat. Logically speaking, as long as he is devoured by the Sea Heart Flame, the blue ice snake gall plus the girl that I had raised as a sacrifice should have weakened the Sea Heart Flame even more, right? Damn it! If this continues, something bad will definitely happen!"

The priest was still chanting those "spells", but in fact he had already cursed Void Devouring Flame several times in his heart. According to his original plan, things would have gone smoothly, but now they were messed up by this guy who came from nowhere!

The giant whale in the polar sea roared again, and the flames all over its body expanded rapidly and gathered towards its big mouth.

Even the sea water that was originally churning wildly stopped at this moment and flowed towards it.

"You're not going to run away but face me head on? That's right, the Deep Sea is the Sea Heart Flame's home turf. If you run away you'll only lose more advantages. So you're going to do everything you can to fight me head on?"

Void Devouring Flame has read some information about other strange fires. Unlike ordinary strange fires, the Sea Heart Flame can not only cause abnormal movements of ordinary flames and magma like other strange fires, but can also affect the ocean.

"But, this trick is useless to me."

The giant whale roared again, and the mighty water flow with blue flames turned into a huge fist and rushed towards Void Devouring Flame and Ling Jue.

"If you play stone, I will play cloth."

Void Devouring Flame raised his right hand, and a pitch-black flame rose out of thin air, gradually forming a huge palm that easily covered the fist that was originally filled with destructive power, but was completely consumed by this pitch-black palm in just a few seconds.

"It's my turn." Void Devouring Flame pointed forward, and his flaming palm turned into the shape of a giant squid. "Even a whale can become food for the squid." Void Devouring Flame waved his hand, and the giant squid swam towards the giant whale and instantly wrapped it tightly with its thick tentacles.

The Sea Heart Flame tried to increase its firepower and put up a last-ditch effort, but facing the second-ranked Void Devouring Flame, which itself possessed the power of devouring, its efforts were completely in vain.

Hai Xin Yan made up his mind and began to change his strategy. The flames no longer surrounded the giant whale but began to enter the giant whale's body. However, he was soon horrified to find that more black flames emerged from the ends of the squid's tentacles. These flames burst out with a strong suction force, directly sucking away all the flames that he tried to "hide" in the giant whale's body!

"Tsk tsk, it's bad enough that you're using this whale as a host, and now you want to drain it dry. How wicked of you."

Looking at the Sea Heart Flame that was trying to take advantage of the giant whale's dying struggle, Void Devouring Flame opened his mouth, spat out the blue ice snake gall that he had already swallowed, and then threw it into the giant whale's mouth.

With the help of fighting spirit, the blue ice snake gall flew straight into its mouth. The Sea Heart Flame, whose original power had been consumed to the point of being almost exhausted, was completely weakened under the suppression of the blue ice snake gall.

"Knew it."

"Mr. Xu Yan, what do you mean by 'as expected'?"

Xuwu Tunyan did not answer directly, but asked: "Lingjue, does the priest always feed the girl who is the sacrifice a lot of cold or icy spiritual herbs before performing the sacrificial ceremony?"

"Yes, I was asked to eat a lot before. What you mean is..."

"That's not surprising." Void Devouring Flame explained, "When the Sea Heart Flame launched the attack just now, I clearly felt that its state had been weakened. This situation usually occurs when it comes into contact with a spirit object with cold air or ice attributes. Even if it is not weakened, I can still deal with it. But this proves my idea."

"The reason why the ocean here has a disaster is because the Sea Heart Flame itself can cause changes in the ocean, and spiritual objects with cold and yin energy can suppress the Sea Heart Flame to a certain extent. The blue ice snake gall he gave me before also belongs to this category. In other words, the priest should have known from the beginning that the source of the abnormal movement in this ocean was the Sea Heart Flame. And in this case, it also makes sense why he deliberately hid his Dou Wang strength. If this news leaks out, he will definitely lose his share."

Strange fire is something that is hard to come by, and even the lowest-ranked one like Xuanhuangyan is something that countless people flock to get, not to mention that there is a Gu He in the Jia Ma Empire who is willing to spend a lot of money for strange fire.

"With this in mind, he made up the legend of the Sea God and had those poor girls eat ice-attributed herbs. After they were devoured by the Sea Heart Flame, the Sea Heart Flame's influence on the ocean would be weakened due to the influence of those herbs. To outsiders, it seemed that the Sea God had stopped being angry because of the so-called sacrifice."

"If I'm right, he wants to use this method to gradually weaken the Sea Heart Flame and finally take it away. Ha, what a good plan."

Although Xuwu Tunyan was quite disgusted with such behavior, the priest's method was indeed quite interesting. Not only could it conceal his own purpose, but it could also be used to attract a group of believers and even make money. It really achieved three goals with one stone.

Ling Jue was extremely shocked when he heard this. It turned out that the legend of the so-called Sea God was an elaborate scam from the beginning to the end.

At the same time, she felt angry in her heart. It turned out that everyone had been fooled by that hateful priest. Even those sacrificed girls were just victims of his conspiracy!

But how can I expose him?

"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry. Although I'm not a good person, I still have a sense of justice at times." Void Devouring Flame patted Ling Jue on the shoulder. "That priest will definitely get what he deserves."
