Chapter 342: Scorching Evil Technique

Ao Li successfully gathered the ancient Dragon Clan residual souls, and the power inside her surged. She knows that to completely resolve the current crisis, she must first eliminate the hidden danger within herself—the Taichu She Shen Jing forcibly implanted by black‑robed mysterious figures in the Shiyanshi. This technique is bizarre and evil, like a malignant tumor lurking inside her, capable of causing fatal harm at any moment.

Ao Li slowly sits cross‑legged, light swirling around her, and the powerful Nirvana Fire rises from within her. This Nirvana Fire is the supreme divine flame of the Dragon Clan inheritance, possessing the miraculous power to incinerate all things and purify all evil. The flames blaze fiercely, instantly enveloping Ao Li, emitting tremendous heat, and the temperature of the circular hall spikes sharply.

Lín Jìn stood nearby, feeling the oncoming surge of power and was stunned. He watched Ao Li's resolute figure in the flames, feeling both worry and anticipation. He worried about the unknown risks Ao Li faced in confronting the evil technique, and hoped she would successfully remove the hidden danger and become stronger.

At this moment, the black‑robed mysterious figures wore loose black robes that completely concealed their bodies. Strange dark‑red runes were embroidered on the robes, seeming almost alive as they subtly writhed in the darkness. They wore hoods, shadows covering their faces, revealing only pairs of eyes flashing with eerie green light, exuding coldness and evil. The leader was tall and upright; beneath his hood a small patch of paper‑pale skin was visible, while his lips were blood‑red, giving an indescribable grim impression.

Ao Li focused her mind, directing the Nirvana Fire toward the deep part of the Consciousness Sea where the Taichu She Shen Jing resided. The moment the Nirvana Fire touched the Taichu She Shen Jing, a powerful resistance surged. The Taichu She Shen Jing seemed to gain self‑awareness, thrashing wildly as it tried to repel the scorching Nirvana Fire.

"Hmph, you evil technique, today is your doom!" Ao Li snorted coldly, amplifying the Nirvana Fire. The flames surged instantly, like an enraged fire beast, lunging ferociously at the Taichu She Shen Jing.

The Taichu She Shen Jing emitted streaks of black evil qi, clashing fiercely with the Nirvana Fire. Black evil qi and golden flames intertwined, launching a breathtaking duel within Ao Li's Consciousness Sea. Each collision of energy caused a tremor in her Consciousness Sea, and sweat began to bead on her forehead.

Lín Jìn watched Ao Li's pained expression, his heart burning with anxiety. He knew he could not disturb her now, so he silently prayed for her while staying alert to the surroundings, wary of another attack by the black‑robed mysterious figures.

Within Ao Li's Consciousness Sea, the Taichu She Shen Jing refused to be destroyed, constantly shifting forms—sometimes becoming a massive black python, lunging with fangs and claws at the Nirvana Fire; other times turning into a black mountain peak, attempting to crush the flames. Yet regardless of its transformations, the Nirvana Fire burned relentlessly, eroding the Taichu She Shen Jing bit by bit.

As time passed, Ao Li gradually gained the upper hand. The Nirvana Fire successfully enveloped the Taichu She Shen Jing, beginning to scorch and purify it. The Taichu She Shen Jing let out a mournful howl, black evil qi continuously spilling from the flames, but the Nirvana Fire swiftly refined it.

Yet just as the Taichu She Shen Jing was about to be completely eradicated, a sudden turn occurred. After fleeing, the black‑robed mysterious figures were unwilling to concede. The leader drew a black crystal from his chest, its surface etched with intricate runes. He muttered incantations, and the crystal emitted a black beam that pierced space, shooting toward Ao Li.

Lín Jìn keenly sensed the danger and instantly leapt upward, trying to block the black beam. But the beam moved extremely fast; Lín Jìn could only raise an energy shield in time. The black beam struck the shield, erupting a violent energy surge that slammed Lín Jìn backward, causing him to crash heavily onto the ground.

"Lín Jìn!" Ao Li felt the external upheaval and tightened her heart. Yet she knew she could not be distracted now, lest all progress be lost. She forced herself to steady her mind and continued to amplify the Nirvana Fire.

After breaching Lín Jìn's block, the black beam pierced straight into Ao Li's Consciousness Sea. The Taichu She Shen Jing seemed to receive powerful support, reviving once more to engage the Nirvana Fire in a final frantic clash. Within the Consciousness Sea, black evil qi and golden flames surged wildly, and Ao Li's consciousness was heavily battered; she felt as if she were caught in a raging storm, ready to be devoured at any moment.

"Ao Li, hold on! You can do it!" Lín Jìn rose with difficulty, shouting loudly. Ignoring his own injuries, he gathered energy again, ready to face any new crisis at a moment's notice.

Ao Li clenched her teeth, a defiant will rising within her. "I won't be beaten by you!" she roared, flawlessly merging the ancient Dragon Clan residual soul power with the Nirvana Fire. Instantly, the Nirvana Fire's power multiplied severalfold, like a golden sun blooming dazzling light in the Consciousness Sea.

Under this brilliant light, the Taichu She Shen Jing let out a final desperate howl, finally being completely incinerated by the Nirvana Fire. Ao Li's Consciousness Sea also returned to calm; she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling with the light of victory.

"Ao Li, you succeeded!" Lín Jìn said joyfully.

Ao Li gave a slight nod, standing up. She felt the pure, potent force within her, her heart filled with confidence. "Thanks to the power of the ancient Dragon Clan residual souls, I successfully removed the Taichu She Shen Jing."

But they understood that the black‑robed mysterious figures would not stop here; a greater crisis might be quietly approaching. After Ao Li removed the Taichu She Shen Jing, what new scheming will the black‑robed mysterious figures devise? How will Ao Li and Lín Jìn face the looming, harsher challenges? Everything is shrouded in uncertainty and suspense…
