# Chapter 1352: Enlightenment of Life
However, when Lin Feng descended into this fire domain, a gleam of excitement flashed through his eyes. This was pure flame, an immensely powerful flame force.
"Come out!" Lin Feng waved his hand, and a beam of light shot into the void, soaring upward, charging into the blazing flames in the sky. That beam of light was naturally the Celestial Fate Sword.
This fire domain was an excellent place to temper the sword. The Celestial Fate Sword had long possessed a sword soul, capable of autonomously devouring flame power, merging it into the sword, nourishing the sword soul, and making the flame sword soul of the Celestial Fate Sword even stronger.
"After the ice and snow domain, it turns out to be a fire domain. The Ice and Snow Divine Temple, it seems, is like a trial. Those who fail the trial may die, while those who succeed may grow stronger." Yiren Lei spoke softly, then glanced at Lin Feng with a smile. This guy had already increased his strength considerably on the fourth layer. His demonic intent had become even more powerful and terrifying. With those demonic eyes of his now, one glance could probably make even a Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator tremble.
If Lin Feng went all out, even a Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator with an unsteady and weak will might feel on the verge of collapse from just one of his looks.
Having comprehended the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's will within those demonic pupils, and having sealed a wisp of Nine Nether intent within them, these eyes were the essence of his demonic power.
"The Ice and Snow Divine Temple has nine layers. This is only the fifth. Are we going up layer by layer? What will come next?" Lin Feng muttered to himself. The scorching space swept over him, as if trying to incinerate his body. The previous layer had been a test of martial will. So what was the fifth layer of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple testing?
"Let's sit down and take a look first!" Lin Feng said to Yiren Lei, then directly sat down cross-legged. All around them were swirling flames, with only a small patch of empty space where they and the others were located. But the flames, which seemed ready to surge over and engulf them at any moment, still made them feel a strong sense of threat.
It seemed the same as before. The space grew hotter and hotter, and occasionally a streak of flame would fall from the sky, rushing toward the crowd, giving them no peace.
Almost everyone here was an ice cultivator. The previous space had been filled with familiar frost energy, but this space was the opposite—flames. It was very uncomfortable, making them feel a restless irritation rising within them. And the more this happened, the stronger the scorching heat became.
Ice slowly freezes, but flames are different. Violent flames will burn people to death directly.
Lin Feng sat quietly, activating the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture. Flames swirled around him, devouring the fire energy of heaven and earth. The Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture was a sun technique, with "scripture" as its suffix, showing its power. Although it wasn't a true ancient scripture, this sun technique could be considered one of the most powerful techniques below the level of imperial scriptures. It was only because Lin Feng's demonic techniques were too strong and overbearing that the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture seemed humble in comparison, unable to keep up with his pace, and was abandoned by Lin Feng. But using it now to devour flame power was no problem.
However, as Lin Feng devoured the flame power, he suddenly shivered, feeling a chill spreading through his entire body. This made Lin Feng abruptly stop his cultivation. He opened his eyes and looked at Yiren Lei beside him.
"You feel it too?" Yiren Lei whispered. Lin Feng reached out and brushed his hand across her beautiful forehead. There were drops of sweat in his palm. This sweat carried a hint of icy coldness. It was cold. This matched his feeling—very hot, yet also a chilling cold that made one's heart tremble. Scorching heat mixed with bitter cold. Even more terrifying!
"The world of ice and frost suddenly turned into a blazing fire domain. Is this indicating something?" Lin Feng murmured. This feeling of alternating ice and fire grew stronger and stronger, becoming extremely uncomfortable.
"Buzz!" At that moment, a radiant light burst forth in the void, causing everyone's eyes to suddenly focus and look up into the sky. Their pupils all flickered with a dazzling light.
"This is... a page of scripture!" Lin Feng's eyes trembled. That brilliant light was a spread-out page of scripture. On it, there seemed to be a strange aura rolling endlessly, as if there were countless patterns and characters. It was somewhat similar to the Three Lives Scripture and the Ten Thousand Things Scripture. This was a scripture.
"That's the energy of yin and yang!" Lin Feng looked toward the void above. The light on that page of scripture seemed like yin and yang energy rolling and constantly evolving. Then, terrifyingly powerful flames appeared. The flame aura was overwhelmingly strong. But gradually, it transformed into ice energy.
Flames, ice—alternating and changing, as if the four seasons were shifting, or as if all things were replacing each other, evolving.
"Yin and yang interchange, water and fire alternate!" A sharp gleam flashed through Lin Feng's eyes, as if he suddenly understood. Was this the meaning behind the Ice and Snow Divine Temple's fifth layer?
Extreme yin becomes yang, extreme yang becomes yin. Yin and yang can interchange. Ice and fire can also alternate. Extreme cold may become heat, extreme heat may become cold. The flames here were far from reaching the extreme, but they vaguely contained this meaning within them.
Everyone looked up at the sky. Of course, they had also seen that page of scripture and understood the meaning of cold within the flames. However, these people were surprisingly rational. No one directly moved to seize the scripture. That scripture probably wouldn't be so easy to obtain. Moreover, even if they got their hands on it, they would have to consider whether they could keep it.
"Let me see what ancient scripture this is!" At this moment, one person's body soared into the air, charging straight at the scripture. His words implied that even ordinary ancient scriptures wouldn't interest him much. It was clear that these monstrous talents who could reach this place had very rich backgrounds—they even had ancient scriptures.
An icy giant hand reached toward the ancient scripture in the void. But the moment that void hand touched the scripture, the person let out a low roar, and his body suddenly retreated violently. The icy void hand had already been annihilated. Even on his palm, a terrifying aura swirled—half ice, half flame—destroying everything, continuously spreading up his hand.
"Ah..." A miserable scream. He saw his other hand suddenly chop down, and the half of his right arm hung in the air, blood continuously dripping downward. His eyes showed an expression of pain.
A rustling sound came out. His blood energy rolled violently, as if trying to use it to regenerate his severed arm. But the surging blood energy couldn't restore his arm. This made many people's hearts tremble slightly. This scripture wasn't so easy to obtain. Although Sovereign Martial Realm cultivators had condensed blood energy and could regenerate severed limbs, if the injury was caused by an extremely powerful destructive force, blood energy couldn't easily heal the wound.
The ice and fire energy swirling around the scripture in the void was a rare and powerful destructive force, instantly taking one of that expert's arms.
After the arm was severed, the void flames took advantage of the situation, invading from where the arm had been severed, causing that person's face to turn pale. It was over.
The crowd cast indifferent glances at that person. There was no doubt that this person was doomed to die. The flames of the fifth layer of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple would gradually consume him.
"Don't bother with that scripture. It seems you need to comprehend both ice and fire to get your hands on it." Lin Feng transmitted his voice to Yiren Lei. This ancient scripture was floating in the void, but getting it wouldn't be easy. Moreover, judging by the ice and fire energy swirling around it, it must be a very powerful ancient scripture.
Ice and fire energy was definitely much more terrifying than a simple flame or ice attack. It was like when Lin Qian had possessed the ice and fire same-source martial soul back then, receiving great attention. Unfortunately, Lin Qian was from a small place like Snow Moon, and without a strong bloodline or the favor of powerful figures, even with a decent martial soul, without other opportunities, her life would amount to nothing.
Yiren Lei nodded slightly. For now, they should first consider how to resist this increasingly strong ice-like flame.
Lin Feng and Yiren Lei sat down again, looking at the yin and yang interchange and the ice and fire same-source in the void. A flash of inspiration seemed to pass through Lin Feng's mind.
He thought of another type of essence power he possessed—Life Essence!
Life Essence was a special essence. Everyone relied on the power of life to survive.
Yin and yang could interchange. Ice and fire, at their extremes, could contain each other's meaning. So what about life?
The opposite of life is death.
People have a lifespan because life force gradually withers, and death energy gradually arises. When death energy completely replaces life energy, that is when the end comes. Thinking from this perspective, it clearly verifies an extreme principle: life and death can transform into each other.
"My life force—can it only be limited to saving people, nourishing myself, making my vitality surging, or maintaining eternal youth? Not enough. This is not enough. In the world of martial arts, an essence without attack power cannot be called a complete essence power."
Lin Feng murmured in his heart. His pupils gradually turned pitch black as he sank into contemplation. Whenever he entered this state, his thinking was at its most terrifying, his comprehension ability formidable.
Since Lin Feng began his cultivation, his strongest point had never been his cultivation speed, but his comprehension ability. Many genius prodigies weren't slower than him in cultivation speed. But in terms of comprehension ability, he rarely found anyone who could match him. He could cultivate any technique or divine ability, comprehend any essence—for him, there was no limit.
