Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”This is the Red Blood Spirit Flame and the Earth Core Blue Flame?”

Yang Xiao recognized the two clusters of Spirit Fire at a single glance.

The Red Blood Spirit Flame was exceptionally rare. It was a type of Spirit Flame born within the bodies of the Ancient Barbarian Clan. Only the most powerful members with the most vigorous Blood Qi could produce such a flame.

’If I refine one of these, not only will it help me break through a level in the Cyan Flame Realm, but my Blood Qi will also be greatly enhanced. It might even further strengthen my physical body, which already possesses the power of four hundred and seven Flood Dragons. If that happens, my power will become even more terrifying.’

The other flame, the Earth Core Blue Flame, was just as rare.

It was a Supreme Yang Spirit Fire nurtured in the heart of the earth.

The power it contained alone was equivalent to the Demigod Level. Given the right environment, it could potentially evolve into a Divine Fire.

It was no less valuable than the Red Blood Spirit Flame.

It could also help Yang Xiao break through a level in the Cyan Flame Realm.

Combined with the Cyan Simurgh Divine Fire he had taken from Ao Yuhua and the Supreme Yang Divine Fire he had acquired from Flame Mountain, Yang Xiao now had four of the six Supreme Yang Flames required for the Cyan Flame Realm.

He was only missing two more.

So, even though Yang Xiao knew Elder Long was offering him these two Spirit Fires, he couldn’t help but look on with eager anticipation.

He was even a little nervous.

These items were simply too important.

’If I get them, my cultivation will skyrocket to the Peak of Third Revolution in the Cyan Flame Realm.’

’That’s equivalent to the Peak of Small Divine Ability Realm. By then, the power of the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, when augmenting my True Greater Yang Fire, could probably match someone at the Peak of Great Divine Power Realm. I might even be able to contend with a Demigod. And that’s not even counting the various Secret Techniques I have to concentrate and enhance these powers.’

Naturally, Yang Xiao was tense.

”That’s right. I heard from Changhe that you need Supreme Yang Spirit Fire. They’re for you.”

Seeing the young man’s eager expression, Elder Long simply smiled. With no intention of making things difficult, he sent the two clusters of Spirit Fire floating toward him.

Yang Xiao was instantly overjoyed.

He stored away the two great Spirit Fires and thanked him profusely.

”You don’t need to thank me. I collected this Earth Core Blue Flame on the Profound Sun Continent. Since you are now the Human Race’s Common Lord of the Profound Sun Continent, it can be considered yours. As for the Red Blood Spirit Flame, just think of it as a congratulatory gift from this old dragon. Alright, I’ve been out for quite a while now; it’s time to head back. Come and visit this old dragon if you’re free in the future.”

After speaking, Elder Long’s body twisted.

His enormous Divine Dragon body vanished without a trace.

Only Yang Xiao and Lu Changhe were left behind.

Streaks of pink Secret Patterns still lingered around them.

It was the Enchanting Secret Pattern. Yang Xiao had extracted them from Ao Yuhua’s body, yet instead of dissipating, they remained unusually vibrant.

It was quite a strange sight.

”Saint Prince, how should we deal with these Demon Patterns?”

Lu Changhe couldn’t help but frown.

He had just tried to destroy these Demon Patterns, but he found that the moment his Spiritual Power made contact, he felt signs of being pulled into an illusion. He had nearly lost his senses.

The power of this Secret Pattern seemed even more terrifying than when Ao Yuhua used it.

Yang Xiao, having just received the two great Spirit Fires, was in a great mood.

Hearing Lu Changhe’s question, he also noticed how strange these Demon Patterns were and frowned.

’This stuff seems a little tricky to deal with.’

Just as he was thinking this, a voice that had been silent for a long time spoke timidly from within him.

”Uncle, how about you give this stuff to me?”

The voice made Yang Xiao freeze for a moment.

’Little Blood?’

He was stunned.

”What is it, Saint Prince?”

Lu Changhe asked softly.

Yang Xiao shook his head.

He fell into thought.

As the Artifact Spirit of the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword, Little Blood had already integrated the Devouring Secret Pattern from the Bloodthirsty Celestial Cyan. She also possessed the power of Charm, a result of the Celestial Demon Heart that came with it.

If she could integrate these Enchanting Demon Patterns, it would clearly be a huge benefit for her.

But…

’This girl might be more obedient now, but she used to be a real handful. If I give her these Demon Patterns, heaven knows what she’ll turn into.’

’What should I do? Should I give them to her or not?’

He hesitated.

Little Blood seemed to know what Yang Xiao was thinking and remained obediently silent.

Since advancing to a Divine Soldier, she had indeed matured a lot.

”Saint Prince, I think we should destroy these things as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they enter the body of some other person or living being, I fear another Demoness will be born, leading to a great disaster.”

Lu Changhe said, his voice laced with worry.

Hearing his words, Yang Xiao’s expression changed slightly.

’He’s right. If these Demon Patterns enter another living being, they would be an absolute menace. I might as well give them to Little Blood. At least she’s my Artifact Spirit, and I can still control her.’

He made up his mind.

With a gesture of his hand, the Demon Patterns began to enter his body, bit by bit.

This sight completely stunned Lu Changhe.

”S-Saint Prince, what are you…?”

But in an instant, he seemed to understand something. With a soft sigh, he said, ”The Saint Prince is truly worthy of his title, thinking of all people. You’d rather suppress these Demon Patterns yourself than let them fall into the world. I, Lu Changhe, swear to lay down my life to protect the Saint Prince and ensure no harm comes to him!”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao froze. He was currently using all his power to suppress the Evil Qi of the Enchanting Demon Pattern to keep it from harming him, all while carefully watching the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword absorb it piece by piece.

’What is this guy talking about?’

But he soon understood.

He couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated.

He knew Lu Changhe had definitely misunderstood.

He thought Yang Xiao was using his own body as a prison to suppress the Enchanting Demon Patterns, all to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, which is why he had said all that.

However, he didn’t bother to explain.

’Since he’s misunderstood, I’ll just let him.’

’It’s better than telling him my Artifact Spirit is absorbing them. That would just make him suspicious.’_

’He’d start worrying and might even become wary of Little Blood.’

’That would cause problems sooner or later.’

When Little Blood finished absorbing all the Enchanting Demon Patterns, not only did nothing unusual happen, but her aura actually grew stronger. Seeing this, Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

’Finally, that menace is dealt with.’

’Next, I should think about my own cultivation. My current level is still too low, after all.’

A thought stirred in Yang Xiao’s mind.

He instantly made a decision.
