Chapter 412: Capturing Hu Mei'er

"Hu Mei'er, hand over the Fire Element World Source," Meng Yifan said.

"Little brother, this Fire Element World Source was something I obtained only after a life-and-death struggle. Isn't it bullying a poor girl for you to bring so many experts here to snatch it away?" Hu Mei'er covered her cherry-red lips, her eyes brimming with tears, looking very aggrieved.

Of course, Hu Mei'er did not want to hand over the Fire Element World Source, but she could tell that Meng Yifan's strength was unfathomable; he had surely already broken through to the Sixth Grade World Master Realm.

Plus, with Lang Batian, the Old Locust Tree, and the Man-Eating Flower—these four Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators—if they were to swarm her, Hu Mei'er would truly find it difficult to handle.

"Hand over the Fire Element World Source, or die. Make your choice," Meng Yifan said coldly. If anyone else saw Hu Mei'er's pitiful appearance, they might feel a sense of pity.

However, Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power had reached the Sixth Grade High, and Hu Mei'er's charm techniques could not shake his mind at all.

Furthermore, Meng Yifan had researched intelligence on Hu Mei'er. Do not be fooled by her current delicate and weak appearance; in essence, she was a man-eating fox spirit who would not even spit out the bones. Countless Immortal Cultivators had been bewitched by her until they were dazed, only to be drained of their primordial yang, left as thin as a stick, and weakened to death.

"You stinking brat, if you want my Fire Element World Source, let's see if you have the ability to take it." Hu Mei'er put away her charming smile, took out a two-eared, three-legged bronze tripod, and waved her right hand. The bronze tripod opened, and a scorching flame sprayed out like a Five-Clawed Fire Dragon, circling around her constantly, causing the surrounding temperature to soar to five or six hundred degrees, as if they were inside a giant furnace.

Hu Mei'er pointed forward, and the Five-Clawed Fire Dragon let out a deafening roar, charging toward Meng Yifan with bared fangs and brandished claws.

Meng Yifan did not make a move right away; he was waiting for Hu Mei'er to trigger the Fire Element World Source. Seeing the bared-fanged fire dragon about to strike, Meng Yifan mobilized the residual Spiritual Power of He Dongliu to stimulate the Source of the Wood Element World, establishing a mysterious connection with the Fire Element World Source.

"No! How can this be?" Hu Mei'er suddenly felt the Fire Element World Source within her body vibrate violently, as if it had come alive, and a powerful suction force spread out along her blood vessels.

All the blood in Hu Mei'er's body gathered toward her heart, causing it to swell to be larger than a basketball.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Hu Mei'er's heart beat like a rapidly struck drum, pulsing at an astonishing speed. With every beat, it was frantically devouring her Spirit Power, Blood Essence, and flesh and blood.

This suction force grew stronger and stronger, like a black hole, and the speed of consumption became faster and faster. Hu Mei'er hurriedly circulated her Spirit Power, trying to block this devouring force, but it was completely useless.

The Fire Element World Source had already fused into her heart, and the heart was the source of power for the body. Large and small blood vessels connected to every part of the body; wherever there were blood vessels, there was this devouring force.

As the Fire Element World Source devoured, the Five-Clawed Fire Dragon lost control and suddenly exploded. Sparks covered the firmament like five giant fireworks in full bloom; it was beautiful, yet extremely dangerous.

The surrounding temperature was at least two or three hundred degrees; if it were an ordinary person, they would be burned directly into charcoal. Regarding this, Meng Yifan had long been prepared. He waved his right hand, and an eighty-meter-high earth wall rose from the ground, blocking all the sparks.

When Hu Mei'er was fusing with the Fire Element World Source, the World Source emitted a great deal of pure World Power, strengthening her body. This World Power had already fused into her flesh, blood, and bones, making her physical body even more powerful.

But now, that Fire Element World Power that had originally fused into Hu Mei'er's body was actually being pulled back out.

Not only that, but those Fire Element World Powers also carried away a large amount of Spirit Power and flesh and blood that originally belonged to Hu Mei'er. This made Hu Mei'er both angry and anxious. She tried every possible way to stop the energy backflow, but it was of no use.

Just like that, Hu Mei'er's originally plump and enchanting body, like a deflating balloon, shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon she was nothing but skin and bones.

After absorbing Hu Mei'er's Spirit Power and a large amount of flesh and blood, the devouring force of the Fire Element World Source increased once again, and it also unleashed a powerful devouring force upon Hu Mei'er's Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Origin.

"No!" Hu Mei'er screamed in terror. If her body were drained, she could still perform Soul Projection and possess another body to cultivate again, but now the Fire Element World Source was too overbearing; it was actually continuing to devour her Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Origin, which was something she absolutely could not tolerate.

Hu Mei'er wanted to perform Soul Projection, but it was already too late. If she had decisively abandoned her physical body and let her soul leave her body when the Fire Element World Source began to devour her flesh and blood, she might have had a chance to escape.

Now, the Fire Element World Source was like a terrifying black hole, and the invisible, intangible devouring force had already locked onto Hu Mei'er's Divine Soul Origin. Even if she wanted to escape, she could no longer get away.

He Dongliu was once an Eighth Grade Great Ability; the contingency plan he left behind would be enough to make even a Seventh Grade Expert bite the dust, let alone Hu Mei'er, who was merely a Fifth Grade Peak fox spirit.

"I beg you, spare my life, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master." Hu Mei'er knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

If the Fire Element World Source were allowed to continue devouring, it could drain all of Hu Mei'er's essence, energy, and spirit, converting them into energy to repair the world.

However, Hu Mei'er was a Fifth Grade Peak Demon Beast, and when she unleashed her full power, her combat strength was very formidable. If he took her as a slave, Meng Yifan's forces would instantly skyrocket.

"Should I take her or not?" Meng Yifan hesitated for a moment and decided to accept Hu Mei'er. Thinking of this, Meng Yifan formed a seal with his right hand and waved it, and the devouring force of the Fire Element World Source stopped in a strange manner.

"Open your mind, acknowledge me as your master, and I will spare your life," Meng Yifan said coldly.

Hu Mei'er was very unwilling, but now her life was held in Meng Yifan's hands. As long as Meng Yifan let the Fire Element World Source continue to devour, her soul would scatter and she would perish.

"Who could have imagined that the World Source everyone was fighting desperately for was actually a trap? You bastard, whoever set this up has screwed me over completely." Hu Mei'er gritted her teeth in anger. She was considered a very clever strategist within the Demon Race, and many human cultivators had been played in the palm of her hand; she never expected that she would end up walking into a trap and falling into this state.

"This servant is willing to acknowledge you as master." Hu Mei'er prostrated herself, kneeling before Meng Yifan.

Meng Yifan extended his left hand and tapped Hu Mei'er's glabella, and a Soul Imprint burrowed into her Mud Pill Palace. Hu Mei'er's Divine Soul Origin let out a sigh.

Although she was unwilling, in order to survive, she still bowed and worshipped Meng Yifan's Soul Imprint, completing the master-acknowledgment ritual.

From this moment on, Hu Mei'er's life and death were controlled by a single thought from Meng Yifan.
