Chapter 841: Nether Dark Fire

Ye Qingran's domineering voice reached everyone's ears, leaving them unable to utter a rebuttal.

Ye Qingran first withdrew the Red Lotus Business Fire, and had the others withdraw their Divine Fire as well.

Xuan Yuan Luo and the others didn't know what medicine Ye Qingran was actually selling in the gourd, but they trusted her wholeheartedly.

"Hong Wu, release your Heavenly Fire."

Hong Wu looked at Ye Qingran in surprise, paused a second, then nodded, "Oh, fine."

Speaking, she released the Heavenly Fire.

"Bring out the Fire Seed as well."

Ye Qingran glanced at it and said in a deep voice.

"Huh?"

Hong Wu was a bit stunned.

The Fire Seed isn't something that can be taken out easily; otherwise it would be easily snatched, and if she lost it, she would never be able to condense Heavenly Fire again!

"Trust me, nothing will happen."

Hong Wu, who naturally trusted Ye Qingran completely, did not hesitate and displayed the Heavenly Fire in its entirety, including its Fire Seed.

No reservations!

Some people nearby watched the Heavenly Fire Seed hovering before Hong Wu, greed flashing in their eyes, yet they had the heart of a thief without the courage.

No one understood Ye Qingran's purpose until faint movements came from below the Abyss.

Those present who possessed Spirit Fire or Divine Fire began to sense something abnormal.

Their Fire Seeds started to become uneasy, and a wave of fear spread.

"What exactly is hidden inside this Abyss?"

Probably only Ye Qingran could answer that.

Hong Wu's Heavenly Fire Seed flickered like a candle in the wind, dimming and brightening, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

"Instructor Ye, I feel something's off..."

Ye Qingran gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, everything is under my control; you will be fine."

Hong Wu nodded, silently reassuring herself not to be afraid.

Suddenly.

A white‑green figure burst out from the Abyss, like a massive python surging upward, a sensation of intertwined ice and fire assaulting everyone's flesh and soul.

So cold!

Also so hot!

The body feels hot, the soul feels cold!

Sss~

A gloomy voice, like a poisonous snake's hiss, sent chills down everyone's spine.

In that instant, the Heavenly Fire seemed to sense the threat, trembling, as if it would extinguish and vanish in the next moment.

That python‑like figure flew toward the Heavenly Fire, contorting its body to surround it.

Hong Wu was terrified, "Ye... Instructor Ye..."

The so‑called python wasn't an actual serpent but a mass of flame, interwoven with white and green hues.

"Instructor Ye, what is this?"

Ye Qingran furrowed her brows and said softly, "Nether Dark Fire!"

What?!

Everyone was stunned; the python‑shaped flame was the legendary Nether Dark Fire from Hell?

In this world of fire, if factions exist, the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire undoubtedly represents light, while Nether Dark Fire represents darkness.

The Vermilion Bird Holy Fire needs no introduction; it is the King of Ten Thousand Fires, possessing the power to cleanse all darkness and evil in the world!

As for the Nether Dark Fire from Hell, it is certainly not a match for the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire head‑on, but it has a defying ability: it can devour all Spirit Fire and Divine Fire.

The more Fire Seeds the Nether Dark Fire consumes, the stronger it becomes; once it devours enough Divine Fire, its strength will surpass the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire.

Of course, this is only theoretical. Throughout history, no Nether Dark Fire has achieved this feat.

The Nether Dark Fire transformed into a python, opened its massive jaws, ready to devour the Heavenly Fire!

Hong Wu's pupils contracted to a point, yet she dared not act rashly.

Now!

Ye Qingran's gaze darkened as a black ribbon flew out from Shen Nong Space.

Upon closer look, it wasn't a ribbon at all but distinctly granulated soil!

It was clearly no ordinary soil, but the priceless Jiu Tian Xi Rang!

Jiu Tian Xi Rang is a primordial relic, not only possessing the power to nurture life but also the ability to change endlessly; its defense is unmatched—nothing can breach its protection!

Ye Qingran mentally shaped the Jiu Tian Xi Rang into a massive net, hurling it toward the python flame.

The Nether Dark Fire seemed to sense danger and began to retreat!

"Xiao Huihui, block it!"

"Got it~"

Xiao Huihui transformed into a mighty Vermilion Bird, blocking the Nether Dark Fire's path.

This Nether Dark Fire clearly still feared the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire, daring not approach it nor challenge Xiao Huihui.

With the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire blocking ahead and the Jiu Tian Xi Rang relentlessly pursuing from behind,

the Nether Dark Fire resembled a child, emitting frantic cries.

"Give up struggling! You cannot escape my palm!"

Ye Qingran is confident.

She had heard of Nether Dark Fire long ago, and for a time she was especially interested, poring over many ancient texts; the deeper her understanding, the more she wanted a stalk of Nether Dark Fire.

Imagine, if you feed it enough Divine Fire, Nether Dark Fire will become the true King of Ten Thousand Fires—how interesting would that be?

Now, the opportunity has come!

If the Nether Dark Fire gets away today, she'll take its surname.

In the end, Nether Dark Fire still couldn't escape Ye Qingran's clutches.

Jiu Tian Xi Rang turned into a huge net, enveloping the Nether Dark Fire, leaving it unable to escape even with wings.

Boom—boom—boom~

The Nether Dark Fire, in its death throes, surged in power, trying to burn the Jiu Tian Xi Rang to ashes.

The sharp fangs of the giant python bit desperately at the Jiu Tian Xi Rang, but to no avail.

"Stop struggling—no matter how strong you are, you can't break free!"

Ye Qingran walked up to the Nether Dark Fire and wore a victorious smile.

The Nether Dark Fire kept struggling, twisting the Jiu Tian Xi Rang into bizarre shapes.

With a thought, Ye Qingran gradually shrank the Jiu Tian Xi Rang.

The Jiu Tian Xi Rang turned into a small ball, through whose gaps a white-green cluster of flame could be seen inside.

Ye Qingran reached out and grabbed, and both the Jiu Tian Xi Rang and the Nether Dark Fire fell into her palm.

"Mm, not bad—my dream from years ago has finally come true."

Ye Qingran was very satisfied.

She herself hadn't expected that this trip to the Demon God Relic would also bring this unexpected surprise.

"Hand over the Nether Dark Fire!"

Suddenly, a person rushed over, trying to snatch the Nether Dark Fire from Ye Qingran's hand.
