Chapter 2749: The Third Form of the Chaos Divine Flame

“When I enter the third form, it’ll be easy for me to help you devour and absorb a Profound Divine Metal in the future!” the gray flame said in a coaxing manner.

Duan Ling Tian knew the voice was not speaking to him. He could not understand a single word it was saying! It was his first time hearing about Chaos Divine Flames and Profound Divine Metals.

“Fine, I’ll help you.” Duan Ling Tian was still in a daze when another voice rang out, shocking him again. This time, the voice seemed to come from the defective metal piece by the side of his soul!

‘What on earth are they?’ When Duan Ling Tian confirmed that the defective metal piece and the gray flame in his body were, indeed, speaking to each other, he began to worry. Not even in his wildest dreams did he think the gray flame and defective metal piece in his body were capable of speech!

At this moment, Huan’er’s soft and melodious voice rang out. “Brother Ling Tian, be careful!”

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he discovered that Huan’er had moved in front of him, shielding him.

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian saw the old man dressed in the Yang Celestial Master’s robe charging at him at an extremely fast speed. He could see the killing intent in the old man’s eyes as well. He was confused, he was certain he had not seen the old man prior to this. Why was the old man looking at him as though he was the old man’s archenemy?

‘He’s an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!’ Soon after, Duan Ling Tian discovered the old man was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

“You want to kill Brother Ling Tian? See if I don’t kill you first!” Killing intent flashed in the depths of Huan’er’s beautiful eyes as she faced the black-clad old man. As soon as her melodious voice rang in the air, a freezing energy swept out from her body. It was so cold that it seemed capable of freezing the air.

Whoosh!

Huan’er’s freezing energy rippled out into the surroundings, causing a few pedestrians standing near the entrance of the restaurant to feel as though winter had arrived.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the freezing energy swept over the old man and shrouded him.

In the beginning, the black-clad old man was able to resist for a brief moment. Soon after, a miserable cry rang in the air. “No!!!”

A bone-chilling cold entered the black-clad old man’s body, and in just an instant, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Huan’er lifted her hand and a palm print shot out from her hand toward the black-clad old man who was frozen.

Bang!

A loud noise reverberated in the air as the ice sculpture fell to the ground and shattered into thousands of pieces.

At this moment, a streak of gray light suddenly shot toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed.

“Brother Ling Tian!” Huan’er cried out. Before she could react, the streak of gray light had already entered Duan Ling Tian’s body. It had moved so fast that she only managed to catch a small glimpse of it.

Whoosh!

The air stirred for a moment before Qiu Ling who had been following Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er finally appeared. He looked at Duan Ling Tian worriedly. He had seen the streak of gray light entering Duan Ling Tian’s body as well. However, it was so fast that he did not have a good look at it. It was true that he was standing in the distance earlier. However, even if he was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, he still would not be able to stop the streak of gray light from entering Duan Ling Tian’s body.

As soon as the streak of gray light entered Duan Ling Tian’s body, he heard another voice in his body. “How useless! Fortunately, I entered the second form 1,000 years ago, and you’ve only entered the second form less than 100 years ago. Otherwise, I would have been dragged down by you this time!” Moreover, he could tell this voice did not belong to the gray flame or the defective metal piece in his body. It seemed to have come from the grey streak of light that just entered his body.

“Brother Ling Tian, are you okay?” Huan’er asked urgently as she looked at Duan Ling Tian with a worried expression. How could she not be worried? She had personally witnessed the streak of gray light entering his body!

Qiu Ling looked at Duan Ling Tian with a grave expression, worried that Duan Ling Tian would suddenly collapse. If something happened to Duan Ling Tian now, he would not be able to explain himself to the thirteenth prince.

Upon hearing Huan’er’s words, Duan Ling Tian regained his senses. He shook his head and said, “I’m okay, I’m okay.” He did not feel any discomfort in his body at all. However, it did not take long before he was distracted by the voices in his body again.

“Indeed, even if you have lost your host, I’m not your opponent since I’ve only entered the second form less than 100 years ago and you entered the second form 1,000 years ago. However, do you think I’m the only one who resides in this host?” Duan Ling Tian could tell this voice belonged to the gray flame in his body.

‘It’s… It’s also a Celestial Fire?’ Duan Ling Tian who looked inside his body discovered the streak of gray light that entered his body was also a gray flame. The aura was rather similar to the aura of the gray flame that resided in his body. However, the aura of the streak of gray light seemed more profound.

The streak of gray light that just entered Duan Ling Tian’s body, or rather, a gray flame, scoffed and said, “Stop bluffing!”

“You will know soon enough if I’m just bluffing,” the original gray flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body, the Chaos Divine Flame that entered the second form less than 100 years ago, retorted, “I’ll devour and absorb you… Your consciousness will disappear from this world!”

As soon as the original gray flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body spoke, it rushed at an extremely fast speed toward the gray flame that had just entered Duan Ling Tian’s body.

Duan Ling Tian continued to watch this progression with his inner sight, baffled.

“Profound Divine Metal, help me!” the original gray flame cried out as it enlarged in size and flew toward the new gray flame.

“Profound Divine Metal?” When the new gray flame heard this, it slowed down immediately.

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian continued to watch as the defective metal in his body that was by his soul’s side suddenly turned into a streak of golden light as it swept toward the new gray flame, a Chaos Divine Flame that entered the second form 1,000 years ago.

At the same time, the original gray flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body grew in size and swept toward the new gray flame as well.

“Damn it! Why is there a second form Profound Divine Metal in here?!” the new Chaos Divine Flame that was originally confident cried out. A hint of panic could be heard in its voice.

Among the Five Divine Elements, based on the attributes of the elements, fire was able to restrain metal. Chaos Divine Flames were usually able to suppress Profound Divine Metals. By right, it should have been easy for the Chaos Divine Flame that had entered the second form 1,000 years ago to suppress the Profound Divine Metal that had only entered the second form less than 100 years ago. Unfortunately, there was another Chaos Divine Flame that had entered the second form as well, fighting alongside the Profound Divine Metal. The new Chaos Divine Flame was definitely not a match for both of them unless he entered the third form.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable to it as it was surrounded from the front and the back, the new Chaos Divine Flame quickly tried to bring the defective metal piece to its side. “Profound Divine Metal, if you help me devour and absorb this Chaos Divine Flame, I’ll help you enter the third form in the future!”

However, the Profound Divine Metal did not reply. Instead, it responded with its action.

“No!” The new Chaos Divine Flame cried out when faced with the joint attack of the Profound Divine Metal and Chaos Divine Flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body. It was helpless as the original Chaos Divine Flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body devoured and absorbed it.

After devouring and absorbing it, the gray flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body seemed to grow in size.

“This…” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt hot all over his body due to the burst of gray flame. His expression turned unsightly. It felt as though the gray flame was burning him.

Suddenly, the Profound Divine Metal’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s body. “Use your cultivation method.”

Duan Ling Tian quickly regained his senses and used the earth-grade cultivation method, the Heavenly Firmament Technique, that Long Fei Yun had imparted to him as he circulated his Celestial Origin Energy through his 99 Heavenly Veins.

Whoosh!

As Duan Ling Tian continued to circulate his Celestial Origin Energy through his 99 Heavenly Veins with the earth-grade cultivation method, he saw the light from the defective metal intensifying before it seemed to merge with his Celestial Origin Energy and circulated through his 99 Heavenly Veins.

“Relax your body… I’ll help you temper your body and boost its strength to a level comparable to an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial so that you can withstand the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame. Fortunately, you have 99 Heavenly Veins and you have tempered them in the Celestial Ascension Pool. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you at all.” The voice of the Profound Divine Metal echoed in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “You can’t be disturbed in the slightest after this! Quickly ask the heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and the earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to protect you.”
