Chapter 608: That Wisp of Flame

Chu Feng’s tense body now relaxed. Even the stunning successor of the Great Dream Pure Land had been cut in half, her combat ability lost, unable to cause any further trouble.

He stood not far away, gazing at the Eight Trigrams Furnace domain.

On the desolate ground, lines of what looked like molten iron flowed through ravines, illuminating the night sky. This was the blueprint of the domain on the ground, where runes condensed and then wove into a furnace in the void.

This furnace was crystal clear and transparent, not appearing out of thin air. It was constructed from terrestrial energy and manifested on the surface, enveloping Qin Luoyin.

Even though she was cut in half, she remained ruthless, possessing a demonic aura. Her snow-white body, stained with blood, appeared both fierce and eerily enchanting.

Among the most renowned goddess-level figures in the starry sky, none had met such a tragic end. Today, she was about to be executed.

Even though Qin Luoyin was currently dominated by the demon in her heart, not her true self, she still sensed her impending death. Her eyes grew colder, and a black flame flickered around her body. This was the demon in her heart making a final, desperate struggle, intending to perish with her.

“It’s time.”

Chu Feng spoke calmly. He didn’t want any unforeseen circumstances, as he felt that this successor of the Great Dream Pure Land was indeed extraordinarily powerful, with an endless supply of trump cards.

Most importantly, although this woman was peerlessly graceful, she was ruthless enough. If given the chance, she would undoubtedly deliver a fatal blow to him.

To be safe, killing her would eliminate future troubles forever.

“Clang!”

Inside the crystal-clear Eight Trigrams Furnace, a cyan war spear materialized. Then, with a whoosh, it whistled as it plunged down.

Blood splattered as the war spear pierced Qin Luoyin’s pale and beautiful forehead, pinning her to death!

At this moment, Qin Luoyin’s naturally vibrant and sensual lips unconsciously parted, still appearing alluring. Her entire being emitted a final sacred glow. Then, her highly spiritual, jewel-like purple eyes dimmed.

Chu Feng did not walk over or approach her. This was because during the battle at Kunlun Mountain, a saint’s spiritual seed had appeared on Qin Luoyin, enduring the ordeal of mental disintegration on her behalf.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I send you to the afterlife, to walk the path of reincarnation. If fate allows, we shall kill and fight again in the next life!”

Chu Feng looked at her, then at the distant dead city. He then activated the Eight Trigrams Furnace domain, causing its flames to blaze sky-high, burning fiercely.

At his level, even decapitation might not ensure a complete kill; the spirit could spread throughout the body and wasn’t necessarily confined to the head.

Therefore, he conjured the Eight Trigrams flames of this domain. He intended to burn Qin Luoyin to ashes completely, ending everything once and for all.

Flames flickered, and the interior of the furnace glowed brilliantly. Eight powerful flames surged and danced, transforming into eight symbols, like spinning trigrams, engulfing Qin Luoyin.

In the flames, Qin Luoyin’s slender body was dazzling, glowing with radiant light. Even after being cut in half, her physical body retained a vigorous life force, instinctively trying to protect itself.

However, she was clearly failing. She was about to vanish completely, erased from existence.

“Something’s not right!”

Chu Feng frowned. He looked around; the world was dark, only this area was brilliant, with flames soaring. No other creatures appeared, yet why did he feel uneasy?

There had been signs of this situation earlier. He had sensed it when he was vying with Qin Luoyin using the domain, but it wasn't very obvious.

Then, a blue light appeared in this world. It was very strange and astonishing. Before, this place had been too quiet, utterly devoid of anything, completely silent.

And now, an eerie blue light had actually appeared!

Next, it became clearer, spreading from the horizon.

Chu Feng was surprised and suspicious. He opened his Fiery Golden Eyes and saw clearly. It was like blue ocean waves, surging towards this area. However, it wasn't violent at all; it was very gentle, like the rustling of spring rain, quietly nourishing everything.

The blue light was fresh and crystalline, carrying an enchanting radiance. It was as if countless blue diamonds were rolling across the ground, approaching the area.

Chu Feng grew increasingly uneasy. He wanted to evade it, to leave this place instantly. But he found that it wasn't just coming from one direction; it was everywhere, even on the meteorites in the sky. A shimmering blue light poured down from the sky.

For a moment, it seemed as if many small blue rivers were flowing in mid-air, and many more were cascading down like small waterfalls.

What was this, like fireworks in a glorious era?

Chu Feng’s body tensed. He put on a top-tier battle armor he had confiscated from an extraterrestrial god-child. Furthermore, spiritual armor clanged within him, protecting the human-shaped spiritual energy.

“Chu Feng, you little bastard, you’ve brought about a catastrophic disaster! Release me quickly, or we’ll all die here!”

At this moment, spiritual fluctuations emanated from the Eight Trigrams Furnace. This was clearly not Qin Luoyin's; it carried disdain and a profound, enraged resentment.

Chu Feng instantly understood. There was indeed a saint's spiritual seed inside Qin Luoyin. She had truly been able to endure it, watching Qin Luoyin be cut in half and her head pierced without acting, but now she couldn't stay still.

“Old hag, get lost and wait for death over there. No, I’ll send you on your way quickly!” Chu Feng said coldly, fully activating the furnace flames to incinerate them.

“Do you know where this is? This place is purgatory, terrifying beyond compare! It’s rumored to be able to bury an entire universe; no matter how powerful a person enters, if they dare to make a move, they will die!”

The saint of the Great Dream Pure Land sighed, filled with intense hatred. To think she was a saint of her generation, yet now she was helpless. Even if her true body possessed world-shaking abilities, as merely a spiritual seed at this moment, she couldn't wield them.

“I don’t care about any of that! Even if I die here, I’ll send you on your way first! If it weren’t for you, old hag, shamelessly attacking me and making a move in secret, how would I have ended up here!”

Chu Feng retorted. The furnace flames grew fiercer, burning Qin Luoyin's body and causing her immense destructive pain.

“If you hadn't acted rashly, this purgatory space would only ‘purify’ once every two or three months, destroying any creatures that mistakenly enter. But now it’s been accelerated; the Samsara Flames have appeared, and you won't survive them. You're dead for sure!”

Samsara Flames? Chu Feng looked at the approaching blue flames. They were incredibly crystalline, translucent and brilliant, with an eerie beauty.

“Old hag, worry about yourself first; you’ll go on your way before me!” Chu Feng activated the furnace flames.

At the same time, a thought struck him, and he quickly made arrangements. He split the furnace body into two, forming a Yin-Yang furnace. One side was a place of annihilation, burning Qin Luoyin and the saint's spiritual seed. The other side was full of vitality and incredibly serene.

Chu Feng plunged straight in, hiding inside the Yang furnace. It was full of life, protecting himself.

The Yin furnace on the other side became a death trap! Although it was bright with flames inside, it was lethal; it could be called the Yin furnace, the death furnace.

“I swear, if Luoyin dies here, one day, my true body will find a way to personally descend upon Earth, slaughter your entire clan, and annihilate all your friends and relatives.”

“Damn you!” Chu Feng wouldn’t fall for that. He made the furnace even more brilliant. His Yang furnace side was currently stripping the life force from the other side, making the Yin furnace side even more horrific.

The saint of the Great Dream Pure Land was very “obedient,” truly “rolling away.” Her spiritual seed exploded, transforming into a pure energy that spread out, protecting Qin Luoyin's remnant body and buying her time.

At this moment, the blue flames flickered, spreading closer, then covering the area.

They were indeed very gentle, like flawless waves, carrying dreamlike light blue radiance. Occasionally, they shattered like crystal, translucent and substantial.

However, when they came into contact with the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Furnace, they caused a violent tremor, aiming to annihilate all life and destroy everything here.

Even though Chu Feng's domain attainments were profound, the furnace he constructed couldn't withstand it. The blue light poured directly in, spreading and covering the entire area.

In an instant, his whole being became agitated. He was filled with fighting spirit, possessed a destructive impulse, wanting to tear this void apart.

“No, this isn't my instinct. Instead, I’m being swayed by an emotion, caused by these blue flames. They’ve infiltrated the Eight Trigrams Furnace and affected me.”

Chu Feng was horrified; his consciousness was agitated and filled with unease. He couldn't resist the urge to throw punches, then to conquer and fight to the death with others. Once these thoughts arose, they were uncontrollable.

At the same time, he heard the sounds of the domain runes breaking apart. These blue flames didn't immediately destroy the magnetic stones and other things he had set up. Instead, they proceeded gradually, like nourishing spring rain, quietly and slowly.

Next, he felt his body being torn apart. Those blue flames looked gentle, but once they approached the body, they practically disintegrated a person, turning them into dust.

These were Samsara Flames. And this was only the initial stage, even before the true destructive power descended.

“Am I going to die here?” Chu Feng sighed. Cracks were appearing on his body. Even at this initial stage, he found these seemingly gentle flames almost unbearable; his flesh and blood were about to be burned away.

Suddenly, his chest felt warm. The side of the stone box with the mountain and river map glowed slightly, faintly crystalline. This instantly brought a measure of calm to his agitated mind.

Furthermore, his body no longer hurt. Even as more flames approached, his flesh and blood didn't crack further.

Across from him, something astonishing happened inside the Yin furnace. Qin Luoyin's body was being incinerated, and with the blue flames spreading, the situation became even more severe; she was about to be destroyed, body and spirit. However, at the last moment, dazzling light erupted from her body, transforming into brilliant rain of light that instantly enveloped her.

The light rain surged, astonishingly rich with vitality.

In an instant, the wound on her forehead healed, completely disappearing. Then, her body, which had been cut in half, instantly reconnected and regenerated. Her flesh and blood regenerated, becoming snow-white, delicate, and crystalline. Her spiritual radiance also flickered, surprisingly undergoing a complete recovery.

A Life-Substitute Talisman!

This supremely rare and precious divine talisman was at work, protecting her, granting her a second life, and bringing her back to life.

Moreover, this intense vitality continuously helped her to neutralize the destructive intent of the blue flames.

Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Furnace exploded. Both Chu Feng and Qin Luoyin fell out; the domain was completely destroyed.

Chu Feng looked up at the sky, thinking, 'Man proposes, God disposes.' What the hell were these Samsara Flames? They had changed everything, turning all his efforts into wasted endeavors.

After falling out, Chu Feng realized that his domain had still been effective. This was because he now deeply understood how terrifying the agitation within him was. His murderous intent surged, and he again couldn't help but want to fight, more intensely than before.

At his chest, the stone box glowed, calming him slightly once more.

However, it was different for Qin Luoyin across from him. Even though the Life-Substitute Talisman had revived her and saved her life, her mental state and emotions were out of control, severely affected by the blue flames. With a soft cry, her magic power surged, and energy boiled, almost destroying the place. Then her eyes emitted blue light, and she attacked wildly.

Chu Feng was startled and dodged away. The once peerlessly elegant woman was practically insane; her demeanor had changed, becoming incredibly violent. She stomped on the ground, shattering it, then smashed meteorites in mid-air, and even attacked the blue flames.

Chu Feng was influenced by her, becoming increasingly agitated, his inner fighting spirit boiling. However, he knew he couldn't get close to that woman. Finally, with a roar, he ran to another side to unleash his attacks.

The two of them attacked countless times, encountering each other several times along the way. Chu Feng avoided all of them, as he didn't want to suffer a great loss. The opponent's current state was abnormal, and she was two major cultivation realms above him.

Soon after, the blue flames remained gentle, but both of them simultaneously stopped, then felt immense joy, unable to control themselves.

Next, they were both laughing, unable to stop.

Qin Luoyin, especially, filled the area with her bell-like laughter, which was melodious, like a celestial song. But it was too eerie; she laughed endlessly.

Her eyes were blue, clearly indicating emotional loss of control.

Chu Feng was also like this, feeling extraordinarily happy and immensely joyful. However, he still had a clear will and knew this was wrong. They were trapped in purgatory and about to die, so how could they be laughing with joy?

Even with the stone box protecting him, this was his state. One could imagine Qin Luoyin's condition; it was even worse!

Especially since her demonic side had surfaced. This side was inherently about indulging herself and acting as she pleased. Thus, she simply couldn't control her demonic self.

Chu Feng’s hair stood on end; he understood. These Samsara Flames were ultimately meant to purify this space and eliminate all creatures that mistakenly entered. It was a step-by-step process. Now, they were stirring people's minds, unleashing the seven emotions and six desires of the human body.

Indeed, after an unknown period, his emotions changed again. No longer joyful, he was instead filled with hatred. When he saw Qin Luoyin, he felt utterly disgusted.

In the distance, Qin Luoyin was even more outrageous. She hated even a single stone intensely. She found everything repugnant and loathed it. She emitted a rain of light, enveloped herself, was utterly narcissistic, and loved only herself.

Then, Chu Feng decisively fled. "Damn it, this is too unbearable!" As the seven emotions and six desires surged, he wanted to cry one moment, laugh the next, and then kill.

But he was facing a formidable opponent two major cultivation realms above him. He estimated he would suffer a great loss.

The only fortunate thing was that Qin Luoyin was controlled by her emotions. Furthermore, her demonic side was in control, completely unconscious. She had forgotten that a great enemy was here.

One could see a beautiful woman whose clothes were burned away by the blue flames. Her entire body was pale and luminous, her slender figure graceful. She was there, weeping and laughing, joyful and hateful, and constantly attacking, smashing meteorites and other objects.

The Life-Substitute Talisman within her glowed, restoring her life force, but it couldn't stop the problem of her emotional loss of control.

Finally, Chu Feng noticed his breathing grew heavy, and his body felt hot. An irresistible impulse arose.

He knew this was one of the six desires rising within him. However, with the stone box on him, and his strong will, he successfully suppressed it.

Suddenly, he stiffened!

“You daydreaming girl, what do you want? I don't have time to fight you to the death right now, get away!” Chu Feng scolded.

He spotted Qin Luoyin, appearing from the horizon.

He felt a bit uneasy. Both of their states were very abnormal. If he were killed here, it would be truly unfair, especially since earlier he had held an absolute advantage in battle.

“You're really unrestrained, not even wearing clothes?” Chu Feng’s eyes sparkled, also emitting a faint blue glow.

At the edge of the desolate land, a glowing body was approaching, like lamb-fat jade.

“I'm warning you, go somewhere else!” Chu Feng swallowed, shouting loudly.
