Chapter 456: Black Crow Becomes a Soul

"Master, I will go do it now!"

Guifuzi bowed, and before the words were finished, his figure had transformed into a cold black light, tearing through space, and speeding toward the direction of Great Xia.

At the same time, Chen Fan endured the extreme pain and stepped into his personal domain.

Undead Karma Fire was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, not only burning his body but also gnawing at his soul.

In the sea of consciousness, pale flames were raging crazily, and Chen Fan could only fully urge the power of thunder to barely delay the speed of being burned to ashes.

Guifuzi's speed was extremely fast, and in less than half a day, he returned with Black Crow.

On the way, he had already told the whole story of Chen Fan's predicament.

As soon as he saw Chen Fan's body, which was burned by karma fire and nearly charred black, Black Crow's heart shook violently, and without a word, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", tears streaming down his face.

"Master! I am willing!" Black Crow touched his forehead to the ground, his voice hoarse but incomparably firm, "My life, everything I have, is all given by Master! Not to mention just giving up my freedom, even if I were to have my soul scattered right now, I would have no hesitation!"

Since signing the master-servant contract, Chen Fan had treated him with great kindness, and Black Crow had long since engraved this loyalty into his bone marrow.

"I have wronged you." Chen Fan looked at him, his voice hoarse due to extreme pain, but a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes.

Guifuzi to the side hurriedly spoke, his tone solemn: "Master, the toughness of a human soul is ultimately far inferior to heaven and earth intelligence. To successfully promote Black Crow's soul strength to the Martial Saint realm, it must be forcibly pushed up!"

"What's difficult about that!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan took a breath and waved his hand. In an instant, many top-level precious pills and spirit materials surged out like flowing water, piling up into a small mountain in front of him.

"Master, you focus on suppressing the karma fire, leave the soul enhancement to this old servant!" Guifuzi said in a deep voice.

In the following days, Chen Fan devoted all his mind to the tug-of-war with the karma fire.

And in the outside world, Angel Island had become a dead zone.

The coalition forces of the human race and the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race had long since looted all the treasures on the island. Because Chen Fan's whereabouts were not seen for a long time, and the deployment of the Nine Heavens Sealing Capital Array was imminent, everyone had to withdraw first.

Time passed quietly in anxious waiting.

One month later.

Outside, the Nine Heavens Sealing Capital Array was fully completed!

The vast power of the array swept across the globe, and all other-dimensional space channels on Blue Star were forcibly closed. The spatial barriers of the entire Blue Star became as solid as gold, and it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for the Ghost Race to break through the world barrier again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the coalition forces of the human race and the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race wantonly cleared out the remnants of the Beast Worship Cult and strange beasts hiding in all parts of Blue Star.

In just seven days, the smoke of war in all parts of Blue Star dissipated.

The long-lost peaceful atmosphere came overwhelmingly, and humans all over the world were overjoyed and celebrated together.

Thanks to the supreme deterrence left by Chen Fan, the top combat powerhouse, the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race always behaved humbly and obediently, not daring to have any overstepping actions.

However, Chen Fan's delay in appearing became the biggest haze in the hearts of all human high-level officials.

They knew clearly in their hearts—if Chen Fan fell, this sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race would disappear, and by then, these alien races would definitely reveal their man-eating fangs.

Zhenyuan Army headquarters, the atmosphere in the council hall was oppressive.

Liang Zhongshu and Ye Wentian sat opposite each other, their temples seemed to have a few more gray hairs, and their faces were full of clouds.

"Still no news of Chen Fan?" Liang Zhongshu's voice carried a hint of exhaustion.

Ye Wentian sighed long and shook his head: "I have sent people to monitor Angel Island around the clock, Xiao Fan he... has never appeared."

"Sigh!" Liang Zhongshu pinched his brow painfully, "Angel Island has been completely swallowed by Undead Karma Fire, and the surrounding sea area is even more filled with fire waves. If this continues, I fear that within a few months, the entire Blue Star will be swallowed by this sea of fire!"

He paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "What is even more disturbing is that the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race actually turned a blind eye to this! Those who are not of our race must have different hearts!"

"Now they are afraid of Chen Fan's power, but once... I mean once, Chen Fan fails to withstand this Undead Karma Fire..." Ye Wentian's eyes shot out essence, "They will definitely turn against us! Therefore, you and I must break through to the Half-God realm as soon as possible to leave a glimmer of hope for the human race!"

Inside the personal domain.

Another month passed.

Chen Fan's state had reached the extreme.

His body had long been riddled with holes burned by karma fire, and under the charred skin, bones were faintly visible. And in the sea of consciousness, it was completely covered by pale karma fire, and the soul power was consuming rapidly, ready to vanish at any time.

Perhaps, only the last few days were left.

Just at this time, an old and excited voice awakened him from the verge of death.

"Master! It's done! Black Crow's soul has successfully broken through to Martial Saint strength!" Guifuzi said with a trembling voice.

Chen Fan opened his eyes suddenly, a light of survival flashing in his eyes. He swayed his figure and said extremely weakly: "Then... start immediately, soul transformation ceremony!"

"Yes, Master!"

Guifuzi let out a low shout, his withered fingers like electricity, pointing at Black Crow's brow.

Hum——

Black Crow's soul body was instantly extracted. There was no panic on his face, only determination. Under his gaze, the soul body slowly drifted toward the mouth of the Rebirth Tripod, letting the Undead Karma Fire, which was enough to burn everything, lick his soul body crazily.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle——

A harsh burning sound rang out. Black Crow's soul trembled painfully in the karma fire, but in this extreme pain, it began a rebirth-like transformation!

Just a quarter of an hour.

Black Crow's soul completely shed its human form and transformed into a crow entirely condensed from gray soul fire—it was his ultimate form after beast transformation, Undead Gray Crow!

It's just that, at this moment, he was a pure soul body.

"Black Crow, it's okay." Chen Fan's voice was weak but carried majesty, "Enter the tripod, establish a connection with this tripod, and become one!"

"Screech—!"

The Undead Gray Crow let out a clear and fanatical cry.

The next second, he spread his wings and transformed into a gray stream of light, like a moth to a flame, diving toward the depths of the Rebirth Tripod without hesitation!

Boom——!!

Just as the gray crow touched the tripod wall, the Rebirth Tripod suddenly erupted with unprecedented violent tremors!

The originally pitch-black tripod body instantly lit up with countless strange and complex gray patterns. These patterns centered on the tripod mouth, spreading like a tide to the entire tripod body, and finally condensed into a lifelike, flapping-wing Undead Gray Crow relief on the front of the tripod!

"Screech—!!!"

A cry that pierced gold and split stone came from the tripod. This sound was full of domineering soul pressure, resounded through the entire personal domain, and even the Undead Karma Fire raging in Chen Fan's sea of consciousness paused at this moment!

Success!

Black Crow's soul was deeply merging with the Rebirth Tripod!

His soul power, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, continuously surged into every vein of the Rebirth Tripod. The originally unruly and violent Undead Karma Fire seemed to have found its master at this moment and began to become docile.

They no longer burned wantonly, but flowed slowly along the patterns of the tripod body, finally gathering at the bottom of the tripod, forming a rotating gray sea of fire vortex.

"Suc... success!" Guifuzi's old voice carried uncontrollable trembling.

"Master!"

A palm-sized, incomparably agile Undead Gray Crow flew out of the tripod mouth, its tone full of surprise at surviving a disaster. "Master, I succeeded! I have merged with the Rebirth Tripod and can control part of the power of this tripod!"

Chen Fan supported his almost falling-apart body and stood up with difficulty, his eyes full of urgency: "Black Crow, quick! Help me dispel these karma fires!"

"Master, don't worry!"

Black Crow let out a clear cry, and the Rebirth Tripod suddenly erupted with a terrifying devouring force.

Swish——

Chen Fan only felt his whole body relax, and the pale karma fire that had been spreading throughout his limbs and bones and burning endlessly, as if finding a vent, instantly turned into a white fire snake, whistling into the Rebirth Tripod.

The pain of the body vanished in an instant.

"Congratulations Master! Congratulations Master! Surviving a disaster, there must be future blessings, Master will definitely soar into the sky in the future and reach the divine path!" Seeing this, Guifuzi hurriedly bowed to congratulate.

However, Chen Fan's expression became incomparably ugly at this moment!

Although the karma fire of the body was removed, the karma fire in the sea of consciousness remained motionless!

It was not that the power of the Rebirth Tripod could not reach the sea of consciousness, but just now, the Chaos Golden Book in the depths of the sea of consciousness suddenly erupted with a suction force far exceeding the Rebirth Tripod, like iron tongs, firmly imprisoning all the karma fire!

"What exactly does this Chaos Golden Book want to do?" Chen Fan's heart shook violently.

A bold thought suddenly arose in his heart.

"Could it be... it wants to swallow these Undead Karma Fires?"

With a thought, Chen Fan immediately controlled the Chaos Golden Book, flipping the pages with a rustle, and finally stopped at the page recording the power of fire.

The next moment, a jaw-dropping scene happened!

Only to see the small flame pattern that was originally still on the page seemed to be injected with life in an instant, and jumped violently.

Boom!

A terrifying suction force that could not be described in words erupted from the page. The overwhelming white Undead Karma Fire in the sea of consciousness could not resist at all, like a dam bursting, instantly swallowed by the small flame!

The moment the karma fire was swallowed, it felt as if a thunderbolt exploded in Chen Fan's mind.

He instantly had a transparent realization of the essence of this Undead Karma Fire!

This was no longer a disaster that needed to be resisted, but had become a power he could control!

Chen Fan endured the swelling pain in the sea of consciousness and moved his mind.

Whoosh——

A palm-sized Undead Karma Fire jumping with pale flames quietly appeared in his palm.

The flame flickered, incomparably docile, emitting a dead silence power that made people palpitate. ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
