Chapter 188: Karmic Fire Burning

Watching Baili Changfeng turn into a human-shaped stone statue in the blink of an eye, Hua Changxi was greatly shocked. Before she could react, the woman in white made another move.

Eight fox tails emerged from behind her, then grew and became larger in the wind, attacking the other eight human-shaped stone statues at the same time.

Seeing this scene, the young cultivator who was blocked by the other three demon race followers was furious and roared: "Bai Li, the Artifact Saint Palace and your Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan are irreconcilable, and will never die."

Bai Li smiled contemptuously. Just as the fox tail was about to whip the human-shaped stone statue, a scorching heat that seemed to refine the heavens and the earth enveloped the boundary stone.

The next moment, a white sword light descended from the sky and slashed toward the back of the woman in white like lightning.

Bai Li felt a fatal danger, her expression was horrified. She couldn't care about destroying the array eye and turned to flee, but the sword light had already reached her front. Unable to resist, she could only dodge in a hurry.

"Ah~"

The shrill scream sounded in the Tang Valley again. This time, four fox tails were cut off together, and the pain made Bai Li unable to maintain her human form and directly turned back into her original body.

A white fox with oily and smooth fur and not a single miscellaneous hair.

Bai Li looked in horror at the cyan figure floating outside the boundary stone. The scorching pain from the tail bone made her instantly realize that the person in front of her was the strong person at the bottom of the Tang Yu who had been awakened by her.

Without facing head-on, she was directly cut off five tails. If they fought directly, she probably wouldn't have a chance of survival.

Knowing that she was no match, Bai Li felt ruthless in her heart, bit off a fox tail herself, threw it into the air, while controlling the fox tail to become larger and longer to attack the array eye, attracting the attention of the cyan-clothed strong person, while turning into a white light, quickly flying toward the crater of the Tang Valley.

"Not good, she's going to escape!"

The young cultivator who was entangled by the three demon race followers noticed Bai Li's abnormality and hurriedly reminded.

Hua Changxi noticed it when the white fox broke her own fox tail, waved her spiritual energy to knock away the broken tail, and then saw the white fox reach the crater in a few jumps.

"Spatial teleportation?"

Thinking that a demon race follower had used the spatial compression divine ability to directly transfer other demon race followers above the stone statue army formation to the crater, Hua Changxi's right hand was full of spiritual light. The next moment, a fire palm rose into the air, became larger in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fiercely grabbed toward the white fox.

Outside the Qianmen Fortress, everyone heard the shrill scream of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox again. Just as they were curious about what happened in the Tang Valley, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox figure appeared again at the crater.

Last time, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox still had eight tails. This time, good guy, only three tails were left.

Just as everyone was guessing which strong person had cut off the six tails of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, a huge fire palm rushed out from the Tang Valley.

Looking at the chasing fire palm, Bai Li was full of horror, waved the remaining three fox tails, desperately slapped the void, directly hitting the space to vibrate and twist. Soon, a spatial rift appeared in the void.

As soon as the spatial rift appeared, Bai Li rushed over quickly. At this time, the fire palm also grabbed over.

Bai Li could only dodge in a hurry, while struggling to escape between the fingers of the fire palm, while desperately using her fox tail to slap the space, wanting to slap out more spatial rifts, using the tearing and cutting force of the spatial rifts to shatter the fire palm.

Under Bai Li's full-force fierce attack, there were indeed many spatial rifts above the crater.

The tearing and cutting force around the spatial rifts made the condensation of the fire palm not so stable, and the index finger and middle finger were also cut off by the spatial rifts.

The fire palm was unstable, and the attack on Bai Li naturally weakened.

Bai Li took this opportunity to fly quickly toward the nearest spatial rift.

The fire palm was indeed unable to grab Bai Li at this moment, but it ignited one of her fox tails while Bai Li was fleeing.

Looking at the ignited fox tail, Bai Li wanted to use demon power to extinguish it, but unfortunately, it couldn't be extinguished at all. Seeing the flames spreading toward her body quickly, Bai Li could only ruthlessly bite off the ignited tail.

After breaking the tail, Bai Li quickly drilled into the spatial rift.

Watching this scene, the cultivators gathered outside the Qianmen Fortress all showed regret.

"That Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox can't be caught!"

However, the next moment, a scene that made everyone unbelievable appeared.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, who had already drilled more than half of her body into the spatial rift, ignited flames again at the broken tail!!!

"What's going on?"

"Wasn't the tail bitten off? Why didn't the flames go out?"

Not only were the cultivators confused, but Bai Li was also puzzled. At this moment, she was busy drilling into the spatial rift and couldn't care about anything else, preparing to wait until she entered the spatial rift to completely get rid of the fire palm attack before coming to extinguish the flames.

Watching Bai Li completely drill into the spatial rift, everyone felt that she had escaped.

However, not long after, a more shrill scream sounded in the void.

"Ah~"

The space above the crater was shattered and unstable by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's slapping. Through some spatial rifts, everyone vaguely saw the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox swallowed by red flames rolling crazily inside.

"What kind of fire is the flame on that fire palm? Even the broken tail can't extinguish it?"

The cultivators discussed heatedly. In the crowd, Gu Jinfan's eyes flickered constantly. The flames on that Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox were bright red, and the flames looked like lotus flowers...

Is it the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?

Gu Jinfan's heart was shocked, and she swallowed her saliva.

Karmic fire uses karmic force as fuel. As long as you carry karmic force, once ignited by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, don't even think about extinguishing it. Even if that Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox breaks her tail, she can't extinguish the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Just like the Two-Yi Divine Lamp that uses seven emotions and six desires as fuel, as long as there is still desire, don't even think about extinguishing the Yang Flame and Yin Flame once ignited.

In the previous life, people in the Qianyuan Realm controlled countless cultivators in the Four Spirit Realms by manipulating the Two-Yi Divine Lamp, and the Four Spirit Realms had no power to fight back against this.

Now that someone in the Four Spirit Realms has cultivated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, there is finally a means to check and balance the Two-Yi Divine Lamp.

In the void, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's screams continued. Everyone listened with scalp tingling, and then saw that the huge fire palm quietly retreated back to the Tang Valley.

"Pure, why do I feel that the fire palm is a bit like my Buddhist palm-in-the-world divine ability?"

In a corner on the west side of the Qianmen Fortress, several monks gathered together, looking at the retreating fire palm, and whispered.

Jing Liao didn't speak, looking straight at the crater, recalling the female cultivator who had rescued them when they encountered a crisis at the Kunmen Pass before.

When that female cultivator took them across the River of Underworld, she used the fire palm to deal with the Underworld Dragon that blocked them.

Is it her?

Was the person who attacked the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox in the Tang Valley that female cultivator?

In the center of the Tang Valley, Hua Changxi withdrew the Buddha hand divine ability, but her right palm had two jade-like lotus petals, one black and one white.

These two jade lotus petals fell from the spatial rift and should belong to that white fox.

The flames she condensed now were extremely powerful, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator could be burned to ashes, but these two jade lotus petals had no traces of being burned at all.

"Divine lamp fragments..."

Hua Changxi looked at the two jade lotus petals. She had already come into contact with the black jade lotus petal before, but this was the first time she had seen the white jade lotus petal.

"How to ignite the Yang Flame with the white jade lotus petal?"

On the boundary stone platform below, the battle was still continuing. Hua Changxi was not in the mood to investigate the white jade lotus petal at this time, put away the two jade lotus petals, and flew to the boundary stone platform.

The young cultivator fighting against the three demon race followers was very strong. His cultivation realm had reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, and his physique was tough. At a glance, he knew he was a body-refining cultivator, and the degree of body refining was not low.

The young cultivator was probably fighting for too long, his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and now he was fighting entirely on his tough body.

Hua Changxi arrived at the boundary stone platform and directly waved three fire lotuses. The three demon race followers had nowhere to hide. After being hit by the fire lotuses, they were quickly burned to ashes.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help. I am Tong Yao, an eighty-first generation disciple of the Artifact Saint Palace. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please order me."

The young cultivator stepped forward and thanked her with a bow.

Hua Changxi nodded: "My surname is Hua." After speaking, she walked quickly toward Xia Yang and Xia Xue who were lying on the platform and dying.

Both of them were seriously injured, had fallen into a coma, and their spiritual energy was exhausted.

Hua Changxi gave them healing pills and pills to replenish spiritual energy. After confirming that the two were temporarily fine, her gaze fell on the human-shaped stone statue turned by Baili Changfeng.

"Is fellow Daoist Tong a friend of fellow Daoist Baili?"

Looking at Baili Changfeng's stone statue, Tong Yao showed a painful and self-blaming expression: "He is my senior brother, and the eighty-first generation chief disciple of the Artifact Saint Palace."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's expression was a bit surprised. She didn't expect Baili Changfeng to have such a high status in the Artifact Saint Palace. Honestly, when she saw Baili Changfeng resolutely use his own body to block the crack, she was shocked.

"Fellow Daoist Baili... how could it come to this."

"Even if the demon energy leaks, there may not be other solutions."

Hearing Hua Changxi's low sigh, Tong Yao showed a bitter smile: "Senior brother has always taken it as his duty to guard the Artifact Saint Palace and the stability of the array eye. If the demon energy were allowed to spread to the human world and cause a catastrophe in the human world, senior brother would not forgive himself."

"What's more, the reason why the demon race was able to sneak into the Tang Valley this time is, in the final analysis, because there was a problem inside the Artifact Saint Palace. As the person in charge of the Artifact Saint Palace, senior brother must be very self-blaming in his heart."

Listening to this, Hua Changxi thought of Lu Yan. Wasn't it Lu Yan who brought the demon race people in?

"Are the other human-shaped stone statues also made of people petrified?"

Hua Changxi's gaze fell on the other seventeen human-shaped stone statues.

Tong Yao's expression was a bit low, and he nodded: "These are all disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace who have suppressed the prison with their bodies through the ages."

Hua Changxi: "Through the ages? Has this array eye always been in an unstable state? Has your Artifact Saint Palace's cultivation never stopped?"

Tong Yao explained: "After the Great Extinction, the Demon-Monster Prison was also silent. It was only after the spiritual energy began to recover that the seal of the Demon-Monster Prison loosened, and the four major array eyes became unstable accordingly."

"The holy land that suppresses the four major array eyes is in silence, so other forces are needed to suppress the array eyes."

Hua Changxi listened to this explanation and thought of the Pill Saint Hall.

Are there such human-shaped stone statues in the center of the array eye of the Pill Saint Hall?

Looking at the eighteen human-shaped stone statues in front of her, Hua Changxi's mood was a bit complicated, a bit admiring, but more resistant.

In the past, she still had the idea of taking over the Pill Saint Hall and becoming the master of the Pill Saint Hall. Now that she knew that the four major holy lands all had to bear such heavy responsibilities, this idea was directly pressed to the bottom of her heart. ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
