Chapter 886: There Will Be Nothing I Regret More In Life
Boom, boom!
When the Lord of Fire and Yue Yang were testing the waters around each other, Chaos Ghost was already fighting with the fishman.
If the Chaos Ghost originally only retained her strength as the Skyfire Ghost, it would be impossible for her to fight against the fishman that was at Level 4 of the Heaven Rank.
But now, things are different. By absorbing the Chaotic Energy and the Divine Power of Calamity in the Desire Valley, she had evolved into a Chaos Ghost of a super elemental body. In addition to the Nirvana Flame, she now owns the source of power from the Chaotic Energy and the most destructive Divine Power of Calamity in the world. The three energies were perfectly merged in her body, allowing her to become the newly evolved Chaos Ghost which is one of Yue Yang’s top beasts.
Against her, the fishman was rather unlucky.
There was no advantage against her at all.
Even the most powerful engulfing ability had no effect on the super-elemental body.
If the Chaos Ghost was really swallowed, it would only make his stomach turn into a mess.
It turns out that the fire energy that specializes in killing and injuring was better than a tonic for the Chaos Ghost. Burning her with the flames were the equivalent actions of her having a hearty meal. The Chaos Ghost would be even more happier should the fire burn brighter and stronger.
The fishman’s third ability was very deadly to other Battle Beasts. It was known as ‘Dazzling Lure’ that came with an extreme mental deception ability. However, it did not work at all when used against the Chaos Ghost. As a spirit herself, she was void of rich human emotions and was not under the illusion of emotional manipulations. Hence, no matter how ‘dazzling’ the attack was, she wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.
On the contrary, the Chaos Ghost had various restraints against the fishman that was of a higher level and had a larger size.
If she still remained as the former Skyfire Ghost, without the source of the Chaos Energy being absorbed by Yue Yang, her absorption of fire energy would not be able to reach the same infinite capacity as it was now.
This was not the most important point.
The most unlucky thing for the fishman was the fact that the Chaos Ghost could wield a little bit of the Divine Power of Calamity.
Even if it was the slightest amount, it was more than sufficient for the fishman to encounter 18 years of misfortune and more.
“Huhu!”
“Roar! Howl, howl!”
The Chaos Ghost tightly locked the fishman in the flame tornado that she controlled. The attacks of the flames and wind blades could not harm him, but the Divine Power of Calamity was slowly infiltrating. No matter how stupid the fishman was, he knew that he was going to lose. He formed explosions of shockwaves desperately, shaking away the Chaos Ghost that was constantly drawing fire energy from his body and wanting nothing more than to escape the flame tornado cage.
But this flame tornado was a bit similar to the realm of the Chaos Ghost. Under her will, the fishman could not easily escape.
If it weren’t for the rescue of the Volcanic Whale’s swish of a tail, the Chaos Ghost would have most definitely absorbed the fire energy of the fishman to the final drop, leaving him to be nothing but a husk of a dried ‘fish’.
“This spirit beast belongs to you?” The Lord of Fire was about to attack Yue Yang, but when he looked at the Chaos Ghost, he immediately expressed a look of greed— a gaze similar to that of pirates seeing the greatest treasure. In the depths of its eyes, another kind of pity was reflected. How great would it be if this spirit beast was not a Guardian Beast! A super-elemental beast like this was indeed more suitable for me than the previous demon wolf.
With the Divine Power of Calamity as her origin and chaotic energy as her body, this super-elemental ghost-bodied Battle Beast was simply everyone’s dream beast.
Most importantly, she even owned the Nirvana Flame, which was something that even he would not be able to obtain that easily.
That’s the Nirvana Flame!
Although it was only a trace, it was more than enough.
With that eternal Nirvana Flame, she was an immortal existence… How can such a beast belong to someone else? I have worked so hard to search for power and cultivate for many years, but in the end, all that amounts to nothing compared to a mere sheltered kid. The demon wolf has unlimited potential— he was not even fully grown, yet he had already become a Divine Beast. This Chaos Ghost also has infinite potential. Chaos Energy, Divine Power of Calamity and the Nirvana Flame were all immeasurable existences. Having all three of them together in a perfect unison is practically breaking the hearts of other cultivators.
“You must die!” The Lord of Fire glared at Yue Yang with hatred.
“For?” Yue Yang pretended to be puzzled.
“These two beasts being under your ownership are like treasures being covered in dust! Such precious commodities are entirely ruined by you! A demon wolf beast was actually used to become a mere watchdog, and you even kicked him over and over again. And this Chaos Ghost! As a guardian Beast, you didn’t even bother to give her any extra guidance or cultivation, letting her do as she pleases…” The Lord of Fire was as angry as a rich young master witnessing a poor child playing with precious stones as marbles[1]. He couldn’t take it for even a second longer.
T/L Note: [1] I believe it means not knowing the value of something precious and just fooling around with it.
“Well, jealousy can be cured, but it’s a shame that you act that way even though you’re a senior!” Student Yue Yang raised his middle finger, especially despised at his words and actions. He doesn’t have the right to control how he trains his beasts— the Lord of Fire could just remain infuriated and envious all he wants, and it’s best if he could injure himself internally while he’s at it too.
“Junior, go to Hell!” The Lord of Fire became very angry when he heard Yue Yang.
“How boring, who would want to fight with you?” Yue Yang soared into the sky. His speed was so fast that he surpassed the thousand-meter-high Lord of Fire in an instant. He paused at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, the dark and oddly-shaped clouds serving as his background as he started beckoning to the Lord of Fire, “Before I leave, as a young master of a later generation with great morals and upbringing. I would like to give you a word of advice. Senior, you should take some medication! However, you can’t eat too many brain-damaging tablets. Just take a few tablets of them at a time, remember that you can’t eat it as a meal!”
The Lord of Fire was trembling with anger as he curled both of his hands into fists.
The black clouds immediately burned like a fire, moving drastically like boiling water.
Thousands of huge meteorites flew out from the black clouds, dragged out with black and red tracks as they concentrated on blasting towards Yue Yang.
The group of meteorites burning all over the sky looked like a rain of fire, smashing into Yue Yang’s entire frame.
The Lord of Fire clamped both of his hands together and all the meteorites gathered, turning into a dense and seamless meteorite ball around Yue Yang.
The Volcanic Whale on the surface of the Sea of Flames leaped high. It raised its head and opened its mouth,swallowing the stone ball composed of countless meteorites. Its attack and cooperation with the Lord of Fire could be described as a tacit understanding.
However, what was swallowed was only Yue Yang’s phantom.
Yue Yang’s true body had already unsheathed the Tao Tie Blade as he levitated high in the skies. Then, he made a big attack that was known as ‘Slash: Lord of Rivers and Mountains’ and brought his blade down overwhelmingly.
The target was not to aim at the extremely huge Volcanic Whale, but it was directed at the odd-faced fishman that was being beaten up by the Chaos Ghost to his North. The sword’s energy had not yet reached its target, yet it had already split the Sea of Flames into a huge seam that was thousands of meters long. The fishman monster screamed, bursting out a spherical flame shield all over his body to prevent himself from expanding. He slammed around with flashing tentacles, emanating a dash of dazzling light that blinded others to the point where they couldn’t open their eyes. It was all done under the intention of interfering with Yue Yang’s attack.
“Howl!”
Yue Yang’s heavy blow suddenly stagnated.
The one who was responsible for the kill was none other than Hui Tai Lang, who had been quietly accumulating strength to restore himself to his best condition.
He flew from the side and plunged into the Sea of Flames, lifting up the huge body of the fishman that was sheltered in the flame shield.
When Yue Yang’s Tao Tie Blade resumed its slashing and split the flame shield, Hui Tai Lang suddenly turned his body upside down. With a pair of sharp claws, he severely tore open the fishman’s weakest belly.
“How dare you!” It was unlikely that the Lord of Fire would sit back and watch all of this unfold by the actions of Yue Yang and Hui Tai Lang.
An overweight punch knocked Hui Tai Lang, distorting his senses as he flew 10,000 meters away.
The Lord of Fire then flicked his finger towards Yue Yang who had proceeded in an attempt to kill the fishman from behind with the Tao Tie Blade.
Yue Yang fell into the Sea of Flames. At the moment when the Volcanic Whale’s giant tail hit him hard, his entire being bounced up like a bullet ricocheting off a board. Ignoring the pursuit of the Lord of Fire, he used the Tao Tie Blade in his hand to immediately make another move again. This style was a slash toward the sky— Second Slash: Heaven and Earth Collapse!
The terrifying sword qi drew an oblique cross on the wound that Big Gray Wolf tore, which further aggravated the damage on the belly of the strange-faced fishman.
Blood splattered as it sprinkled everywhere
The Lord of Fire laughed like a lunatic.
The severely injured fishman fell into the Sea of Flames and initially rolled in pain, but soon, he returned to normal.
The horrible wound of the oblique cross-shaped bloody skin and flesh was healed without medicine in the Sea of Flames. When the fishman swam out of the vortex of the Sea of Flames, his belly was unexpectedly smooth and it seemed like it had never been injured. It turned out that through the partial absorption of the Chaos Ghost and the intense pounding of Yue Yang and Hui Tai Lang, his strength had already depleted. But, it was completely recovered through the aid of the Sea of Flames, making him become even stronger and more vigorous than before.
“Hahahaha! You really are a sheltered kid who stays at home and only lives under the protection of adults! Did you think that everything in the world would baby you in the way that you were used to living in? Without the protection of the adults behind you, you would be nothing at all. Let me tell you, in my domain, the Sea of Flames, all my beasts are immortal! No matter how much damage they receive, they will instantly recover. Even if they died in battle, they could easily be resurrected. Do you know why I have spent thousands of years creating this Sea of Flames? The reason is simple— because I want to create a world of fire that will never die, a world where I am invincible!” The Lord of Fire laughed.
“Bark bark!” Hui Tai Lang whispered twice to Yue Yang, saying that he did his best just now. Truth be told, it wasn’t the fact that he didn’t work hard, but this guy was too abnormal.
“It turns out that you are not part of the Sea of Flames domain, but a kind of ‘fire-attribute-ignition domain’. As long as it was a fire-attributed Battle Beast, in this Sea of Flames-like domain, you can continue to recover their health,” Yue Yang finally saw through the true power of the Lord of Fire with his Heaven Eyes Transverse.
“So what if you understand? In this flame world, because of the abnormal amounts of energy, no matter how powerful one may be, anyone who enters must wait until the day of the energy transfer before leaving. Do you know how long it takes till the next energy transfer? It is almost two months later! Did you really think you could still escape between my fingers for such a long time? Just now, I just tested your ability; what comes next is the real attack of Hell!” His body immediately increased its energy by at least ten times.
Even the mere explosive momentum caused Hui Tai Lang to fly up to a kilometer away in an inverted position.
Yue Yang used the Tao Tie Blade to resist, but even he slowly moved back by three hundred meters. Only the Chaos Ghost with the super-elemental body stayed in place without feeling a change.
With his hand on the surface of the Sea of Flames, the Lord of Fire drew a huge flame rune array with a radius of 10,000 meters in diameter. Yue Yang frowned when he saw this formation. This was not a rune pattern that he was familiar with; instead, it seemed to be a very special and very strange ancient rune pattern.
Using the energy of the Sea of Flames as the source, the giant rune formation was completed, immediately bursting out with irresistible power.
Even if Hui Tai Lang and Yue Yang resisted strongly, they were instantly pressured to fall onto the surface of the Sea of Flames.
With every meter deeper, the feeling of the power of mighty power doubled.
What kind of pattern is this ancient rune formation of fire energy? Yue Yang felt that if he didn’t find its core principle, he would have no insight into the truth. Then, he would not be able to find flaws or leave the surface of the Sea of Flames smoothly. With the strength of the Lord of Fire, the Volcanic Whale and the fishman, fighting them on the inferior terrain of the surface of the Sea of Flames was simply abuse.
Hui Tai Lang was also in a hurry and couldn’t fly. Merely relying on four legs with each of the opponents being behemoths, he would be at a disadvantage when it came to fighting!
He hurried to Yue Yang’s side, hoping that he would kick himself and instill some energy for him to become huge.
It’s best to send a little bit of the power of the Law over and kill that wretched fishman!
Yue Yang didn’t do that, but he seriously considered it for a few seconds. Finally, he silently threw a special flame into the mouth of Hui Tai Lang. In this Sea of raging Flames, his movements were totally inconspicuous.
Besides, the Lord of Fire didn’t even look at a dying opponent.
He just made a flame portal, summoning more Battle Beasts to deal with the enemy. The Lord of Fire was watching Hui Tai Lang, who was said to be the best combination team in the world should they be partnered together. He also glanced at the Chaos Ghost who remained unaffected by the fire array runes. If she was not a Guardian Beast, things would have been great. The Lord of Fire then sighed, not for the first time, in his heart.
The beast that I dreamt of is right in front of me, but unfortunately, it does not belong to me, and it will never be possible to obtain it in any way.
I’m afraid that there will be nothing I regret more in this life!
