A massive, invisible hand crashed down from the sky, creating a huge palm-shaped crater several meters wide on the ground.

Dust flew everywhere, and gravel flew everywhere.

The three black-robed cultivators, who were suddenly struck and unable to react, were pressed firmly into the ground by the invisible giant hand, and their spiritual light shields shattered with a crack.

In the blink of an eye, it went from a stern and threatening demeanor to a frantic and struggling state, barely clinging to life.

Xi Heng slowly walked past the three people, heading towards the center of the fire hell where crimson and yellow flames of resentment were erupting.

As I passed by, I simply said:

"I just said that they were spared."

With another press of his palm, the three behind him instantly turned into three blurry, bloody blobs.

……

Giving up, the girl increased her speed and transformed into a stream of light, rushing against the fleeing cultivators and straight towards the towering flames.

Once her resentment erupted, she lost all interest in continuing her cultivation.

After this incident, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Hellfire will inevitably drop again.

The outer array, which still retains some spiritual energy, will become quite dry, and the spiritual energy of the inner array will also weaken rapidly over time, making it completely unsuitable for cultivation.

This world has become largely useless to her; the only thing she needs to think about is what items she should preserve in this world.

Xi Heng already had a preliminary plan for this.

Either choose the Blood Feather Demon Core from Wanbaoge, or go directly into the Pure Flame and take out the White Phoenix Feather, which is the source of the White Flame.

Before the outbreak of the Pure Fire, she had planned to go to the Wanbao Pavilion to take a look before deciding which one to save.

I'll also take this opportunity to meet with their leader and question him about any coordinates or information from other realms.

Wanbaoge is a vast organization that spans many realms. If you were to ask who in the Fire Hell possesses the most external coordinates and intelligence, it would undoubtedly be them.

However, with the sudden eruption of the Pure Fire, she changed her mind.

With the Pure Fire Palace destroyed, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, which was stationed inside, must have suffered heavy damage. The cultivators there are probably all just trying to escape, and it won't be peaceful for a while.

Xi Heng had no interest in wasting time searching for the head of the Wanbaoge Fire Prison branch; he planned to inquire about it in his next life.

As for this world, let it end as soon as possible.

The light accelerated, rushing against the falling flames and fleeing inner formation cultivators, straight into the sea of ​​fire of the Pure Fire Capital.

Fireballs rained down from the sky, smashing houses, towers, and city walls.

The corpse rose from the flames, its face contorted with intense resentment, and charged toward every living person it sensed.

Xi Heng gathers flames into a sword, his figure flashing in the sea of ​​fire. Whenever he brushes past an enemy, he decapitates them.

The closer one gets to the true form of the Pure Fire, the fewer cultivators there are.

The charred altar was now empty, nothing but fire.

Xi Heng rushed away from the pure fire, which had gradually become stained with various colors.

With a flash, he stepped into the white flames, letting the ripples of the flames fall on his body, and closed his eyes.

After a short while, the sounds of explosions, roaring flames, and collapsing buildings all subsided.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a wasteland filled with gray-black bones.

A somber, gray sky hung in the air, and the corpses stretched endlessly, their edges barely visible.

Sensing Yin Wanluan's presence, the girl looked towards the distant hills and continued to use her magic to fly away.

Midway through, a violent surge of spiritual light and an explosion of death energy suddenly occurred.

She stopped and expanded her spiritual senses, and saw a huge mermaid monster in the distance, slowly collapsing from the bombardment of the white flame magic.

The thing was enormous, its body emanating black energy. Its appearance was bizarre yet strangely possessed a certain feminine beauty. It was slightly different from the monsters that Xi Heng had killed before, and had a head with long, flowing hair.

At this moment, the immense resentment and deathly aura emanating from it were violently surging and spreading outwards.

A mournful wail slowly rose, echoing throughout this wasteland of corpses.

"..." Xi Heng was very familiar with this sound and scene, knowing that it was the scream of a wounded beast.

But it was precisely because of her familiarity with the subject that she was able to understand what had happened.

In her previous lives, she had never seen anything like this, and the monsters looked different.

She reflected on the changes between then and now, and guessed that she might have arrived too early.

Previously, they arrived long after the outbreak of the Pure Fire, but today they arrived at the very beginning of the outbreak.

"So there was already a battle in the Dead Zone before I arrived?"

"Who is fighting against the Great Vengeance?" She quickened her pace to get closer.

His footsteps echoed as he stumbled through the air, disappearing into the distance.

Using her light-footed skills, she moved closer to the source of the black mist.

It was clear that the monster in its hand once again swung the greatsword of corpses, pressing down on the humanoid figure in front of it who was casting a white flame spell.

The white flames rose high and transformed into a heavy fist, colliding with the corpse sword.

With a loud bang, the air vibrated, and the black mist dissipated, revealing a human figure holding aloft white flames.

The man held a wooden staff aloft, his face weathered and wrinkled, his wide red and white robes undulating as he cast spells, and his long white hair flowing freely.

"The Lord of the Pure Fire Sect?" Xi Heng recognized him.

He then realized why he couldn't see this person after the outbreak of the vengeful fire; it turned out that he had entered the fire at the very beginning of the outbreak to fight against the great vengeful fire.

The vengeful beast, its attack blocked, roared again, and countless vengeful spirits poured out of its mouth, their faces contorted in a ferocious manner as they attacked the cult leader below.

The white flames swirled and blocked the way, and the first wave of vengeful spirits quickly dissipated.

However, as the giant sword struck again, death energy erupted, and several waves of vengeful spirits attacked, causing the white flames to gradually dissipate, and the Pure Fire Cult Master was put at a disadvantage.

Just as the man slammed his scepter to the ground, enveloping his entire body in pure fire, and then let out a long shout, he charged straight toward the head of the vengeful beast.

Xi Heng arrived from behind, using the flames of resentment as his sword to simultaneously slash at the vengeful beast.

A burst of black and red sword energy erupted, carrying the external force of martial arts, transforming into a giant sword several meters wide, which slashed straight at the neck of the enormous creature.

"I'm here to help you—"

After she finished speaking, she shattered the beast's neck with a cracking sound.

With another forceful press, the monster's head was severed, its hideous face frozen in mid-air before being struck and sent flying by the white flames.

The vengeful beast lost its head and finally transformed into the form that Xi Heng knew so well.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 254, Life Dependent on Death

A deafening roar shook the deadly realm.

A massive severed head fell to the ground, scattering numerous fragments of the corpse across the surface.

Thick black smoke emerged from the broken part of its neck, followed by a cane burning with pure fire.

The figure dressed in red and white robes of the Pure Fire Cult slammed down the scepter in his hand, striking him directly between the eyebrows.

White flames raged around him, and the white light quickly spread, covering his head, which was the size of a house.

The corpses were contorted in a hideous howl, and vengeful spirits poured out like water from a tap.

But under the white flames, the entire enormous head, along with the vengeful spirits it released, was completely burned away, melted, limp, and withered.

The beast's head was severed, but its body continued to move.

A gigantic, withered hand, dragging the greatsword made of corpses, raised it high once more, carrying a violent impact and oppressive death aura, before crashing down towards the location of the white flames.

However, at this moment, Xi Heng had already turned around and arrived in that direction. He suddenly raised his deep red longsword and unleashed red and black sword energy that collided with the approaching corpse sword.

With a bang, the Corpse Sword was damaged, and many limbs shattered, scattering like exploding fireworks.

The black aura around the headless beast's neck twisted upwards, as if trying to regenerate a new head.

However, its natural regenerative abilities were insufficient to achieve this, and it only grew a few horns from the crack in its neck before stopping.

Realizing that it could no longer salvage its head, the vengeful beast's abdomen, which had originally appeared to be normal in shape and curves, immediately expanded and swelled, and a huge mouth grew out from its navel, emitting a deafening howl.

The girl rubbed her ear, then unleashed a sword aura to slash away the monster's pressing fingers, interrupting another of its attacks. She then turned to look at the Pure Fire Cult Master amidst the white flames and asked:

"Can we still fight?"

"Who are you?" the other party replied, having just burned and melted the vengeful beast's head.

Xi Heng thought for a moment and said, "Just consider me as the reinforcements that Yin Wanluan invited."

"Just take it as?" The Pure Fire Sect Leader was momentarily puzzled, but this was clearly not the time for idle talk.

The howling of vengeful beasts echoed from the side as the giant sword slammed down once more.

The overwhelming suppressive force restricted the Fire Lord's movements, forcing him to pull out a talisman and burn it to form a barrier of spiritual light in front of him.

boom--

The powerful aura clashed with the protective shield, and time seemed to stand still between them.

The attack stopped there, but Xi Heng's offensive continued. His figure transformed into a deep red streak of light and suddenly attacked the vengeful beast's chest.

She had fought this thing dozens of times and knew its weaknesses very well.

Even without Yin Wanluan's blessing and assistance, she was fully capable of defeating the monster before her on her own.

A flash of light, and the flames of resentment erupted.

The moment the sword pierced the chest of the vengeful beast, where the black crystal core was hidden, it blasted a crater in that spot.

Immediately afterwards, the martial arts external force transformed into a giant claw and took out the crystal core, which Xi Heng then stored in his storage ring.

The vengeful beast grew increasingly ferocious, but none of its attacks could break through Xi Heng's external forces and the defenses of the vengeful fire.

Soon, with each burst of resentful fire, only four of the nine crystal cores inside the enormous monster remained.

The Lord of the Pure Fire also manipulated white flames to create a similar explosion, and the entire surface of the monster quickly became pitted and uneven, and the remaining few crystal cores were also extracted one after another.

Xi Heng severed the vengeful beast's shoulder with a single sword stroke, extracting the last crystal core that sustained its existence. The entire vengeful beast then slowly collapsed and disintegrated amidst its wailing cries, eventually dissipating naturally into a dense black mist of deathly energy.

She pushed her palms out to create the effect of wind, trying to blow away the black mist, but the natural long wind had a very weak effect on the death aura and could not blow it away.

Half a minute later, the fog finally began to dissipate, and the white-haired leader of the Pure Fire Sect appeared, bowing respectfully and saying:

"Although I don't know who you are... thank you, Fire Hell owes you one."

"It's not over yet," Xi Heng said directly.

"What do you mean?" The other party clearly didn't understand.

The next moment, an endless stream of dense death energy suddenly surged from the corpses on the ground—more powerful than the death energy emitted by the vengeful beast, and like sharp arrows flying towards the two living people above.

Xi Heng neither dodged nor avoided, but instead used his sword heart to cut his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood essence and placed it on his brow, and used the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique to separate his spirit from his body.

The Pure Fire Master unleashed his full-body Pure Fire defense as if facing imminent disaster. At first, he was able to block some of it, but as the death energy continued to surge, the limited white flames grew weaker and weaker, and were eventually broken through, with the death energy staining his physical body.

Beside her, the girl quietly watched as her body transformed into a pure gray porcelain-like appearance, and her black hair was also tinged with ash—it looked like white hair but was distinctly different.

She spread her five fingers and gently rotated them, letting the death energy flow from her fingertips, sending it to that place.

The surrounding corpses stood up and knelt down before her like soldiers.

At this moment, she didn't care about the Pure Fire Cult Master beside her. She only looked at the death energy in her hand and wondered how she could incorporate this power into herself, instead of only using it in this special state.

"Could it be preserved if we put them all together in one body?" she murmured to herself.

To the side, the leader of the Pure Fire Cult, affected by the death energy, had a distorted face and was convulsing all over.

He had never refined death energy, nor had he spent much time with death, so even as a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still had no tolerance or resistance to death energy.

The moment the deathly aura seeped into his skin, it blurred his consciousness.

Before he could utter a single word, an overwhelming aura of death permeated his entire body, causing his flesh to wither, his hair to fall out, and his pupils to dilate and turn gray and lifeless.

"Ordinary cultivators are ultimately unable to deal with death energy... I thought this life would have a different outcome, but it's just like this."

Xi Heng then saw vengeful spirits emanating from the bodies of the vengeful beasts, flowing with death energy towards the physical body of the Pure Fire Sect Master.

His protective fire had completely dissipated, and the flames he released now turned into black flames imbued with death energy.
