Chapter 1367: You can't hold onto it!
Let me swallow this Spirit Fire!
Upon hearing this, the two Dao Lord Realm experts seemed to see salvation, shouting, "Chen Kang, save me!"
Within this Spirit Fire, the power of time was overwhelmingly vast, instantly plundering them of hundreds of thousands of years of lifespan.
All their power was exhausting!
Chen Kang's speed was fast, but he seemed to deliberately delay for a moment, letting the Spirit Fire's might burn even more terrifyingly.
Between life and death, it was just this instant!
The Time Fire completely devoured the two Dao Lord Realm experts, turning them into two huge fire beings. One side, gray matter like sand poured out from the wounds in their flesh, feeding the Spirit Fire's might; the other side, the boundless black soul‑sea flames grew more terrifying, and their inner soul‑sea ignited as well.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"
The two Dao Lord Realm experts gritted their teeth and said, "Just a moment ago, Chen Kang could have swallowed this flame and saved us."
A faint cold smile appeared on Chen Shou's face.
He had long seen that refining this Time Fire with strange power would make it stronger; if the two Dao Lord Realm experts were refined, its power would surge again.
So he deliberately paused for a moment.
It was precisely this fleeting opportunity that let the two Dao Lord Realm experts fall into utter despair.
Their vitality and Dao Resonance were burned to ashes; they could only emit unwilling, painful howls, "Ahhhhh..."
The wailing echoed through heaven and earth.
The two Dao Lord Realm experts were completely burned to ash, leaving nothing behind.
Chen Shou shook his head slightly, showed an apologetic expression, turned toward the Dark Hall and said, "Sorry, I'm a step late!"
In fact, he secretly rejoiced; it was obvious this flame had become even more terrifying.
"Please, fellow Daoist, act quickly!"
Old Ancestor You Sha immediately spoke, saying he didn't bother to quibble over Chen Shou's minute scheming.
Chen Shou nodded, then looked at Ji Fuyao with a serious expression and said, "Junior, this Spirit Fire isn't used like that; you, a mere Low-Star Void Dao Realm cultivator, can't possibly control it—hand it over to me."
Ji Fuyao chuckled, her jade hand shifting, and said, "What if I give it to you?"
"Hiss!"
The Time Fire that had refined the two Dao Lord Realm experts merged again, transforming into a petal‑shaped form. This Spirit Fire is strange: its surface is blazing fire, while inside flows an immensely rich power of time—it is the fusion of two Great Daos.
This flame instantly shot toward Chen Shou.
"Have you given up resistance?" Seeing this, Chen Shou chuckled lightly; he had no fear of whatever tricks Ji Fuyao was playing, and said, "In front of me, flaunting the Great Dao of Time, let me tell you what it means to be the Lord of Time!"
His huge head suddenly swelled, becoming even larger like a tumor, then his narrow mouth split open enormously, actually trying to devour this Time Fire!
He then inhaled sharply; the already‑shooting Time Fire sped up further, rushing straight into his lips.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Although the time‑power contained in this Spirit Fire is terrifying, upon meeting the Longevity Clan it is completely their nemesis.
The Longevity Clan—why, they can devour the power of time even before they are born!
A satisfied expression appeared on Chen Shou's huge face; he could sense the terrifying power contained in this Spirit Fire, but also the fierce killing intent within it. He snorted coldly, "Since I have already swallowed you, how could you overturn heaven?"
Within the Dark Hall, Old Ancestor You Sha laughed loudly, "Chen Shou, Fellow Daoist, you are indeed formidable..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Chen Shou suddenly cried out in pain, "Ahhh..."
A pig‑slaughtering‑like howl rang through heaven and earth.
At this moment, Chen Shou's inner world underwent a drastic change.
That Spirit Fire churned within his body, endless flames blazing and filling every space.
Know that the Longevity Clan's inner constitution differs from that of humans.
Their interiors are many Dao Diagrams condensed from the power of time, protecting their true form—that white, fat worm.
Now, all of Chen Shou's Dao Diagrams have ignited, and the endless flow of time‑power has become nourishment for that flame.
The Spirit Fire suddenly blazed across his entire body!
Even his true form felt scorching hot, writhing and cocooning itself deeper into the Dao Lines.
Old Ancestor You Sha asked in surprise, "Chen Shou, Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"
Chen Shou was still struggling to suppress the Time Fire, "I'm fine..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, terrifying flames spewed out!
And in the next instant, one of his arms turned to charcoal, having been refined by the Time Fire; it fell off and turned to ash, scattering in the wind.
Old Ancestor You Sha frowned, "Your arm!"
"I'm fine."
Chen Shou still firmly believed he could suppress this Spirit Fire.
Old Ancestor You Sha shouted again, "Your legs!"
Only to see Chen Shou's two legs burning from the soles upward to the hips, all aflame; the time‑power intensified, likewise turning to black carbon and breaking off in an instant.
"I can suppress this Spirit Fire!"
Chen Shou roared loudly, but in the span of a breath his body split open with cracks, each crawling with Spirit Fire.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Chen Shou's emaciated lower body finally split apart, and the vast Spirit Fire flooded the Time's Dao Resonance.
His torso was gone, leaving only his huge head still burning!
Everyone could see the fat worm writhing inside that head, constantly howling, "Damn it, what the hell is this damned flame?"
In an instant, his skull emitted a crackling sound and his huge head burst apart.
The surging power of time rolled onward, making this Spirit Fire burn even fiercer!
This time, only a single white worm remained, cocooning; he wanted to escape this expanse of spiritual fire.
At the same time, the ancient azure jade pendant in the Dark Hall began to flicker, and the space dao pattern that Chen Shou had previously laid out started to rotate.
Chen Shou wanted to return to the Dark Hall!
Ancestor You Sha couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked, "Dao Friend Chen Shou, are you alright?"
No one responded.
Heaven and earth were silent.
Then that white fat worm exploded outright, flesh juices spraying, and was devoured by the spiritual fire.
Chen Shou died, dead beyond any possibility of revival!
Witnessing this scene, heaven and earth fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone turned their gaze to Ji Fuyao.
This flame is too terrifying!
Ji Fuyao had only just descended for a short time, and directly exterminated four Dao Lord Realm cultivators!
Even one of them was a Dao Lord Realm cultivator of the Longevity Clan!
Within the Dark Hall, the faces of the many ancestors turned somewhat icy.
Faced with this situation, they had never anticipated it!
Who could have imagined that Ji Fuyao would suddenly appear, bringing such terrifying spiritual fire?
This threw all of their plans into disarray!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
At that moment, the ancient azure jade pendant in the Great Hall suddenly trembled, the space formation pattern here became extraordinarily bright, and from the space channel on the other side came an even more terrifying aura.
Not just one, but multiple Longevity Clan Dao Lord Realm cultivators have descended!
Ancestor You Sha was overjoyed and quickly said, "Esteemed Dao Friends of the Longevity Clan, please descend and lend me aid in the Strange Hall!"
