Chen Yi had arrived before the Fiery Sorceress. She looked into the Fiery Sorceress' eyes, and recalled the sneak attack she had executed at the top of the hill.
The attack was extremely successful. The Fiery Sorceress was completely unaware of the attack, but what confused Chen Yi the most was that, the Fiery Sorceress did not faint instantly when she was attacked. She had more than enough time to burn her into ashes before falling unconscious....
But she didn't.
Jiang Feng did not give Chen Yi a chance to think. As the Mind Control Spell was cast, Chen Yi's hesitant look was replaced with an enraged expression, and bloodshot, murderous eyes!
The Breaking Profaner thrust forward at full force, as Chen Yi raised it with both hands and stabbed at the Fiery Sorceress' heart!
The ice shattered, the front tip of the Breaking Profaner poking into the Fiery Sorceress' body like a long spear. Apart from penetrating through her skin, there was also the sound of some metal clanking...
It was the Grimsteel Spike. The spike that Chen Yi had stuck into the Fiery Sorceress' back had not been removed yet, and was still inside the Fiery Sorceress' body. However, when the Breaking Profaner penetrated her body, it also knocked the Grimsteel Spike out, resulting in the clank of metal!
The Fiery Sorceress raised her head and let out a painful screech.
The ice surrounding her was shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions and cutting Chen Yi's skin.
The enraged Calamity Fire surged in all directions like an infuriated beast, instantly producing an ocean of flame, evaporating everything within its reach!
Chen Yi abruptly regained control of her mind. She was dumbfounded when she saw the flames rolling toward her.
The Fiery Sorceress had broken free from the ice cage, which meant she had nowhere to escape to!
Her body might be immune to the Dark Flame, yet it would never be able to protect her against the Calamity Fire. The ocean of flame was more than enough to burn her into a pile of bones.

As the fire swept in Chen Yi's direction, she closed her eyes hopelessly.
However, after a long time, she still did not feel the heat...
She opened her eyes and discovered her surroundings were covered in flames, but not the tiniest fire could be seen in her area. There was a weird space in the midst of the ocean of flames.
The Fiery Sorceress was standing right in front of her. Just a simple thought, and the Fiery Sorceress could easily burn her into ashes. However, Chen Yi could only see the Fiery Sorceress holding the Breaking Profaner with one hand, and controlling the enraged Calamity Fire with the other, driving them away from her...
Chen Yi was stunned!
She could not believe what she was seeing...
The ocean of flames was burning fiercely, even the clouds in the sky were set aflame, yet not a single flame had spread to her spot!
-Why is this the case?!
-Why is this happening!?-
------
"Psychic Element...why do you possess the Psychic Element?!" screamed Zhao Yulin up in the attic.
Jiang Feng had long become an Advanced Magician, and could be considered a genius, but after the Fire Calamity, her cultivation had never improved due to the fire poison she was suffering from over the years!
Zhao Yulin clearly remembered Jiang Feng's Primary Element was Fire, while her secondary Elements were Earth and Space. There was no way Jiang Feng could possess the power of the Psychic Element!
"You idiots, that b**ch is not Jiang Feng!" snapped Mo Fan furiously as he regained control of himself.
The person in white cloth stood there, her eyes emitting a vicious glow, like the evil Scorpion Demoness.
{TL Note: Scorpion Demoness is one of the villains in Journey to the West.}
She did not speak, but uttered a burst of sinister laughter, looking at the Fiery Sorceress who had been impaled by the spike...

Mo Fan's figure was burning in rage. He finally understood what Xinxia was trying to tell everyone when he saw Chen Yi walking toward the Fiery Sorceress' domain.
"If she isn't, then who's..." Chen Yi was lost in thought, standing in the midst of the flames.
Yes, when the person in the white cloth cast the Psychic Spell on her, she knew the woman was not her mother!
She was extremely familiar with her mother, and clearly remembered the Elements she had awakened. Her mother had never awakened the Psychic Element...
Primary Element was Fire, and secondary Elements were Earth and Space.
The Fiery Sorceress seemed to have the power of the Space Element, too...
Chen Yi's mind buzzed as if it had just exploded!
-Why was she asked to attack the Fiery Sorceress?
-Why did the Fiery Sorceress only grab Xinxia away when she could easily avenge herself?
-Why…-
"Chen Yi, are you blind? Didn't you see that it was her withdrawing her domain of Dark Flame all along? You idiot, you dumbass girl, if she really wanted to kill you, she could easily burn ten thousand of you into ashes..." Mo Fan burst out cursing furiously.
If Chen Yi was smarter, if she were more observant, she would have discovered that the Fiery Sorceress was controlling the Dark Flame!
The person in white bandages knew that Chen Yi was the only person that could kill the Fiery Sorceress, as the Fiery Sorceress was the true Jiang Feng, Chen Yi's mother!
As Chen Yi's mother, why would she harm her own daughter!?
The Fiery Sorceress was friendly toward humans...
It was because she used to be a human!
She was extremely powerful, yet she was injured by Chen Yi?
It was because no one knew that she had totally lost her mind when she saw Chen Yi. She was panicking as she felt like hugging her daughter who had grown up, yet when she saw her hands and body burning in flames, she could only turn around in disappointment...
At that instant, the Grimsteel Spike stabbed her in the back. Her heart did not break, yet the pain was a thousand times stronger than her heart breaking!
"How is this possible? How is this possible! Everything she told me was fake?" Chen Yi was on the verge of losing her mind. She looked at the Fiery Sorceress, whose eyes showed no hint of hostility or anger.
The Fiery Sorceress was watching Chen Yi, yet she could not speak, even though she had so much to say.
"She was devoured by the flames of the Fire Calamity Fruit, and had managed to survive after a fiery figure fed her a Fire Calamity Fruit. It was indeed your mother's story, yet only half of it was told," Xinxia approached them with Nanyu's support. Her voice rang in everyone's ears.
The first thing that the Fiery Sorceress did was take Xinxia away, as she tried to tell everyone the truth...
However, the evil woman in the white cloth did not give her the chance. She immediately asked the people to attack her.
After Xinxia was connected with the Fiery Sorceress, she immediately learned the truth, yet she was placed under a curse, the Nightmare Curse!
The curse was cast by the person in white cloth, to stop Xinxia from regaining consciousness so she could not reveal the truth. Her cultivation greatly surpassed what everyone expected, hence it was difficult to learn her true nature, until Mo Fan came to stop her, and forced her to expose her Psychic Element!

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella
