Chapter 222: True Fire Showdown

"True Fire Spirit Flame!”

Chen Yu was moved, looking at the white flames that spread along his arm, intertwining with the blood-color dragon scales and crystal patterns.

If not for the newly added boost of the dragon scales bloodline, this True Fire would pose a significant threat to Chen Yu.

It is feared that even the Copper Statue Gang Body would be unable to effectively resist these flames.

Chen Yu was just about to urge the dragon scales bloodline and the dark True Qi to extinguish the lingering “White Shining True Flame.”

Suddenly.

The blood cocoon sealed within his left arm throbbed, and the crystal-clear blood pearl inside began to stir restlessly.

Crack!

The sealed blood cocoon cracked further, oozing a strand of crystalline and translucent blood-light flame.

"Blood Crystal Flame!”

Chen Yu’s heart pounded, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Despite this sealed blood pearl giving him a feeling akin to being connected by blood, with no sense of threat.

However.

Back then, in the Blood Burial Garden, this “Blood Crystal Flame” had cast a shadow of death over him.

"Master, let me assist you. Such low-level flames dare to act fiercely in front of their master.”

A milky voice echoed in his ears.

What voice!

Chen Yu felt the sound was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The next moment.

The trace of crystal-clear blood-light flame that seeped from the crevice surged through the blood-flow within the scale patterns in his body and burst out.

Puff!

The strand of blood-light flame leaped upon Chen Yu’s arm and actively confronted the white flames.

In an instant.

The two flames intertwined.

With a ‘hiss.’

Chen Yu’s blood-scaled arm emitted a puff of green smoke.

The joyous flash of the blood-light flame was effortless as it devoured the white flames.

"What kind of Spiritual Flame is this? This person also possesses True Fire Spirit Flames!”

Luo Haochen lost his composure.

His “White Shining True Fire,” which the family had refined at a great cost, was postnatally condensed.

Even though it was a Postnatal True Flame, its quality was not low, and combined with his bloodline, it was like a tiger with wings added.

But now, the wisp of flame that burst forth from Chen Yu could effortlessly extinguish the remaining True Flame.

Moreover, the pure aura conveyed by that fire was clearly not a Postnatal True Flame but an Innate Spiritual Flame!

"You are the Blood Soul Flower Spirit!”

Chen Yu suddenly realized something, staring at the strand of blood-light flame that followed the blood-patterned dragon scales and fell into his palm.

"Master, the Blood Soul Flower Spirit has become a thing of the past; now I am your ‘Flame Spirit.'”

The milky voice was filled with a pleasing tone.

Chen Yu was stunned.

This Blood Soul Flower Spirit communicated with him through a spiritual connection akin to a Spirit Pet contract.

At this moment.

The spiritual connection from the sealed blood pearl was very similar to his relationship with the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

Sigh!

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the crisis of the “Blood Crystal Flame” was not only resolved but also mysteriously refined and taken possession of by himself.

"I don’t believe it!”

Luo Haochen growled in a low voice, his face turning iron blue, and his palm’s White Shining True Fire transformed into a wave of flames, rolling up a fierce white flame wind and rushing towards Chen Yu.

Not good!

Chen Yu’s breath tightened, his whole body felt hot, and he sensed a trace of pressure.

Faced with the massive wave of flames, the mere wisp of “Blood Crystal Flame” in his palm seemed hardly enough.

Chen Yu was just about to confront the enemy through means like the dragon scales bloodline and the dark True Qi.

"Master, your bloodline inside can combine with my flame.”

The milky voice came through.

"Good!”

Chen Yu’s heart gathered strength, controlling more of the “scale-patterned blood flow” to surge near the ruptured cocoon.

Swoosh~

From the cracks of the blood cocoon, more glazed blood flames seeped out, merging into the “scale-patterned blood flow” of the Blood Dragon Beast bloodline.

Puff!

In Chen Yu’s palm, a small cluster of blood flame suddenly shot out, far less than Luo Haochen’s “White Shining True Fire.”

"Is this little bit enough?”

Chen Yu was astonished.

"Enough!”

The milky voice said.

Whoosh~

That small cluster of blood flame transformed into a dazzling, glazed flame bloom, somewhat resembling the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower.

Buzz!

The surface of this blood-flame bloom suddenly burst out with a radiant blood-fire light, which with a ‘pom’ sound, met the incoming White Shining flame wave head-on.

‘Sss!’

In mid-air, the two fires once again interwove.

At first.

The flame wave and the fiery wind turned by the white True Fire, with its overwhelming volume, engulfed the blood-flame bloom.

But after half a breath, green smoke billowed.

Buzz!

A radiant blood-fire light blossomed from within the White Shining flame wave, swallowing and scattering swathes of the white flames.

How is this possible!”

Luo Haochen was shocked and disoriented, his face a picture of despair.

What’s more inconceivable.

Chen Yu had no method of “flame control,” yet the blood-colored flames seemed to have their own sentience as they met the enemy.

Whoosh!

Luo Haochen flipped his palm, and the intense white light swathes, gathering the defeated remnants of the “White Shining True Flame.”

After regrouping, the volume of the White Shining True Flame was reduced, dimming by a small fraction.

While the small cluster of “Blood Crystal Flame” in Chen Yu’s palm, like a blooming glazed flower, had nearly not dimmed much.

From the confrontation of the True Flames, the two were simply not on the same level.

Such a powerful Innate Spiritual Flame!”

Luo Haochen’s expression fluctuated between light and shadow, his face showing envy and dissatisfaction.

"True Fire Spirit Flames” are the essence of the fire energy in heaven and earth, often containing extraordinary might, and due to different flame attributes, possess their own unique abilities.

Some naturally born True Flames are known as Innate Spiritual Flames.

In legends, some powerful Innate Spiritual Fires possess the ability to destroy heavens and earth, bringing calamities wherever they go, making even the great powers of the world step aside.

Undoubtedly.

The “Blood Crystal Flame” that Chen Yu owned was an Innate Spiritual Flame that coexisted with the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower.

And furthermore,

The majority of the flame’s essence was still sealed within the blood cocoon inside Chen Yu’s body, compressed into a blood crystal.

"Your Excellency, do you still wish to continue the battle?”

Chen Yu’s tone was calm, the glimmering blood flame dancing on his palm like crystal dreams.

Luo Haochen’s complexion darkened, his heart roaring with unwillingness.

He was a genius of the Ancient Clan, with a noble bloodline, and had refined the “White Shining True Flame”, yet he was defeated by a postnatal early-stage nobody.

But reality left him no choice.

In the true fire showdown, his pride, the White Shining True Flame, couldn’t withstand a single hit.

In the clash of bloodlines, his opponent possessed a bloodline akin to that of a holy dragon, completely overpowering him.

Even without the Blood Crystal Flame, relying on his robust physique and the explosive power of his heart, along with the dragon scale bloodline, Chen Yu had a good chance of winning.

However,

With the [Blood Crystal Flame] in play, Chen Yu won with even greater ease, sparing himself a tough battle.

"No… Your bloodline power!”

Luo Haochen’s flickering gaze landed on the blood-patterned dragon scales emerging on Chen Yu’s body.

During their clash, he had sensed something vaguely familiar about this bloodline phenomenon.

Now, upon a closer look, he finally realized something was amiss.

"How could the traces of the Blood Dragon Beast’s bloodline appear on you?”

"And how can you possess two different bloodlines!”

Luo Haochen was extremely shocked, staring unblinkingly at Chen Yu.

Even the black emperor bloodline that Chen Yu had before, if not for the restriction of cultivation, might have surpassed that of his own Ancient Clan bloodline.

Chen Yu’s heart tightened; Luo Haochen discovering such a secret was extremely unfavorable.

He was just about to speak some misleading words.

Thump, thump, thump!

Suddenly, a mysterious heart began to pound rapidly, issuing a warning.

Crack!

Suddenly, the rock wall behind them burst open, with a vast array of bizarre blood patterns emerging, spreading like a spider web.

This was the very place where the Blood Dragon Beast had awakened before.

"Who… killed my dragon beast?”

A chilling and ghastly voice came from the deeper part of the rock wall.

Boom, boom, boom!

The entire underground riverbed and surrounding rock walls began to shake, cracking open as an earth-shattering presence awakened.

"Run!”

Chen Yu didn’t think twice; his heart went into an explosive state as he transformed into a blood-black afterimage, running towards the ground nearby.

That voice, as well as the awakening presence, gave him an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"What on earth is going on?”

Luo Haochen felt his bloodline tremble with fright and glanced in alarm toward the area where the blood patterns were spreading from the cracked rock wall.

Swoosh!

Luo Haochen turned into an afterimage, following Chen Yu and running in the direction of the ground.

However,

Just as they had run a few dozen feet,

The cracked rock wall with blood patterns suddenly shook, extending a dirty, blood crystal-smeared hand.

"Where do you think you’re going!”

The blood crystal hand was only the size of an ordinary person’s, but with a casual squeeze, it gathered a blood-red phantom in the void of the space.

Whoosh, boom!

A blood palm phantom, as large as a small mountain, sweeping down with a commanding presence, advanced towards Chen Yu and Luo Haochen.

"Ah!”

Luo Haochen, who was half a step behind, screamed in terror, his hairs standing on end.

He felt his body enveloped by a terrifying suction force, as if trapped in a quagmire, unable to escape.

Swish!

The blood palm phantom instantly clasped Luo Haochen, and with a “snap,” his body was crushed into a clump of blood mud.

This scene was sensed by Chen Yu’s spiritual awareness.

Luo Haochen was only a few feet away from him.

"Run faster!”

Chen Yu felt a chill down his spine, and his heart sank into an abyss.

Thump! Thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!

His heart, in a bursting technique state, pushed his speed to the ultimate limit.

Buzz! Roar!

"Dark True Qi” surged into his legs, and the “Blood-Color Dragon Scales” bloodline also fully erupted on his body.

Amidst the sound of a dragon’s roar, a shadow of a blood scale dragon emerged on Chen Yu, his speed reaching an all-time peak.

As such,

Chen Yu’s dark True Qi and dragon scale bloodline were drastically consumed.

Bang swoosh!

Chen Yu’s speed exploded, turning into a blood-scaled afterimage, finally gaining some distance from the blood palm phantom behind him.

Boom, boom, boom!

By a distance of a few feet, the colossal blood palm phantom smashed the nearby mountainside into dust.

"Eh?”

The owner of the blood crystal hand in the fissure revealed himself.

It was a gaunt young man with blue eyes, extraordinarily handsome but with a pale and weak appearance.

"Hm? That seems to be the Blood Dragon Beast’s bloodline phenomenon, how can this be?”

The gaunt young man was taken aback.

The Blood Dragon Beast was his pet beast, which for special reasons had slumbered here with him.

Now,

The power of the Blood Dragon Beast’s bloodline was unexpectedly bolstering a human youth, allowing him to suddenly accelerate and avoid his attack.

"Could it be, this youth is a descendant of the ‘Blood-sucking Clan’!”

"Only the Blood-sucking Clan has such an ability, to devour others’ bloodlines and convert them for their own use.”

The blue-eyed youth’s expression instantly turned cold, a chilling murderous intent evident in his eyes.

Regardless of whether the Blood Dragon Beast was his pet, the other party, being a “Blood-sucking Clan” member, was a bitter nemesis to his own race.

These thoughts flashed through the blue-eyed young man’s mind in an instant.

"This boy must not be left alive!”

Behind the blue-eyed young man, a pair of insidious and sinister blood wings condensed.

With a flap,

The blood wings unfolded, and the blue-eyed youth transformed into a bloody blur, rapidly chasing after Chen Yu.

His sudden burst of speed was at least ten times that of Chen Yu!

However,

The bloody blur had only shot forth a few dozen feet when suddenly, it halted.

Ugh!

The blue-eyed youth spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion turning even paler and more feeble, and he stumbled.

"My old injuries have not healed, I’ve slumbered for so long, my primordial qi bloodline has nearly run dry

The blue-eyed youth’s face fluctuated with uncertainty.
