Chapter 894: Master Chen and Black King
Seated cross-legged on the boulder, Master Chen sensed the aura and his pupils constricted sharply.
Without hesitation, he rose quickly, his "Mindscape" rapidly spreading outward, as if trying to engulf the overflowing malevolent fire within its domain.
At the same time, he turned to Lu Ruici and the others behind him and said:
"Organize everyone to evacuate immediately, hurry!"
Though Master Chen didn't know what had happened in this fishing village, nor why it had suddenly reappeared, he had no time to think about it. Deep within the surging malevolent fire pouring out from the village, he had detected an extremely terrifying presence.
This aura was approaching Infinity, close to that of a god.
As the semi-transparent domain gradually shattered, the black malevolent fire sea roared outward from the fishing village. Master Chen's figure flickered as he flew directly into the carriage. With the copper bells on the carriage jingling, the carriage charged toward the malevolent fire sea at the speed of lightning.
With the carriage as its center, the "Mindscape"疯狂地向外扩散，将那些流淌的煞气火焰全部卷入，把火海控制在了一个固定的范围之中。
The carriage galloped between the walls of malevolent fire, its surface gradually blackening from the intense heat, but the interior of the carriage remained relatively unaffected. Master Chen sat behind the small table, cup in hand, his brow furrowed as he gazed at the towering giant silhouette standing amidst the distant fire sea, his expression grave.
"Master, what kind of monster is that?" The young servant sitting across from Master Chen shivered under the giant shadow's pressure and couldn't help but ask.
"...It's the Black King."
Master Chen naturally recognized these malevolent flames. He was the chief overseer of the Purification Chamber, and many years ago, Cao Yuan—a prisoner of great interest to the Night Watch—had been imprisoned in the Purification Chamber for a long time. Therefore, Master Chen naturally knew something about what resided within him.
The Black King's appearance meant... the situation within the fishing village had completely exceeded the control of the [Nightfall] squad.
Just as Master Chen prepared to drive the carriage directly toward the towering giant silhouette, his peripheral vision caught a figure carrying a black coffin on their back, dragging an unconscious fat man, swiftly shuttling through the fire sea toward the outside.
Master Chen let out a soft hum of surprise and immediately turned the carriage around, heading toward that direction.
...
In the fire sea, Shen Qingzhu's back was completely soaked with sweat.
As the closed loop ended, the red moon's shadow also dissipated. The red hue in Shen Qingzhu's eyes gradually faded, but an intense sense of crisis surged in his heart.
These surrounding malevolent fires were by no means something that [Qi Min] could suppress. Even though Shen Qingzhu had used Forbidden Ruins to evacuate the nearby air, the flames were only suppressed by a small amount. These fires didn't require air to burn—they used something else entirely as their fuel.
Fortunately, as An Qingyu had instructed, the moment a gap appeared at the edge of the fishing village, Shen Qingzhu had毫不犹豫地带着江洱和胖胖冲了出去，若是他的速度再慢一些，只怕现在已经葬身火海了。
The good news was that they had successfully escaped from the fishing village.
Just as Shen Qingzhu was struggling to traverse the fire sea, a carriage with a scorched surface descended from the sky at lightning speed. The crisp sound of copper bells rang out, and Shen Qingzhu paused in slight bewilderment, looking up. Joy flickered in his eyes.
Master Chen!
"Get on board!"
Master Chen's voice called out from the carriage. Before Shen Qingzhu could react, a strand of "Mindscape" wrapped around his body and the other two, teleporting them directly into the carriage.
Free from the raging malevolent fire sea, Shen Qingzhu sat across from Master Chen and let out a long breath of relief.
"What did you encounter in there?" Master Chen glanced at the unconscious Baili Pangpang, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"That's a long story..."
"Then tell me later."
Master Chen didn't press further. His gaze透过车厢，遥遥落在了远处被锁链困住的摩天巨影之上 the carriage turned around in the fire sea and galloped away.
As if sensing the approach of Master Chen's carriage, the towering giant silhouette standing in the fire sea gripped its black blade and let out a fierce roar toward the carriage shuttling between the "Mindscape" and reality. Its pale face was twisted狰狞，看起来恐怖无比。
Inside the carriage, Master Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He flicked his fingers, and a celadon cup suddenly pierced through the "Mindscape," flying out from the front of the carriage, through the overwhelming black fire sea, directly toward the towering giant silhouette's head!
Within the rapidly spinning celadon cup, the cup lid trembled slightly. Streams of blue light flowed from the gaps in the lid, as if something were about to break free from within the cup.
The towering giant silhouette seemed to sense the threat within the cup. It let out a low growl and suddenly raised its black blade, slashing directly toward the sky!
Given the enormous size difference, the cup flying down from the carriage was as insignificant as a grain of sand. The blade edge cut through the surface of the celadon cup, and a dazzling blue light surged from the fragments. It was a fragment of "Mindscape" that Master Chen had concealed within the cup.
Within the "Mindscape," a hundred-meter-tall blue light giant sword shot out, firmly pressing against the burning black blade. The violent collision between them sent visible shockwaves rippling through the air.
ROOOOAR—!!
The towering giant silhouette raged, swinging its black blade. The surrounding malevolent fire sea churned like boiling water, forcibly shattering the blue giant sword into countless fragments that scattered across the late-night sea surface.
Next, it raised its hand and slashed the second blow toward the carriage in the sky!
This strike landed on the "Mindscape" surrounding the carriage, rapidly tearing open a gap. Malevolent fire surged in, and the carriage body couldn't help but shudder.
Master Chen's expression immediately darkened.
"Do you think I'm made of mud?" A flash of anger crossed Master Chen's eyes. Just as he was about to act, the black fire that had invaded the "Mindscape" suddenly stagnated and rapidly receded outward.
The massive black blade shattered and dissipated piece by piece. The dancing fire sea around also visibly rolled backward toward the center. The towering giant silhouette standing on the coastline lowered its head to look at Cao Yuan beneath it. Within his body, the shattered heart was rapidly healing, and the extinguished vitality was reviving...
He was resurrecting.
This "prison" was reorganizing itself.
The seven chains extending from the void suddenly tightened, dragging the towering giant silhouette's massive body, continuously drilling back into Cao Yuan's tiny mortal form.
The giant shadow's deathly pale eyes stared fixedly at the scorched carriage in the sky, roaring in rage, seemingly unwilling. Yet its body was still being irresistibly pulled back into Cao Yuan's body. With the reversing malevolent fire sea, it ultimately vanished entirely.
The moment the last wisp of malevolent fire trace dissipated into the air, Cao Yuan, who had been half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Initially, it hadn't thought it necessary to draw a weapon against such an opponent. But at this moment, it had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, it was already struggling to hold the line. No matter how powerful the Rebirth from Fire was, it constantly consumed energy. Once its bloodline power was overly depleted, it would also damage its very essence.
"I have to say, you have exceeded my expectations. But now, I will use my full strength." With Cao Yuwei's words, the Phoenix True Fire gathered toward it like all rivers return to the sea. It had actually retracted the Phoenix True Flame Domain.
The blazing Phoenix True Fire凝聚成型，化为一身瑰丽的金红色甲胄覆盖全身。持刀而立的它，宛如魔神一般凝视着美公子。
Mei Gongzi did not pursue. She stood in the distance, slightly settling her somewhat turbulent emotions. Although this battle had not lasted long, her emotions were becoming increasingly亢奋。
Before truly facing a Great Demon King-level Undying Fire Phoenix, she hadn't known if she could truly withstand it. Her confidence came from Tang San's guidance. As the battle progressed and she actually began to suppress her opponent, protecting herself from the Phoenix True Fire with the help of Seven-Colored Tianhuo Liquid, she knew—she truly could.
Over the past hundred years, Tang San had taught her many combat techniques, all of which were最适合她使用的。Like the previous Soul-Searching Thrust and Soul-Searching Hundred Claws. And the just-used Slash that had broken Cao Yuwei's finger—Star Sword Cold. According to Tang San, these were all true Divine Skills. After he made slight modifications and taught them to Mei Gongzi, they were perfectly suited for her to execute.
The more she used these abilities, the more Mei Gongzi found herself wholeheartedly obedient to Tang San. Initially, when Tang San told her these were Divine Skills, she had some doubts in her heart. But now, she could continuously wound and pressure a higher-ranked opponent. How could this be possible without Divine Skills, given the cultivation gap?
At this moment, every Honored One standing on the Heavenly Pillars was now looking at this young girl with new eyes. When the Phoenix True Flame Domain appeared, they had been considering how long Mei Gongzi could last under that domain. White Tiger Great Demon King and Crystal Phoenix Great Demon King had even prepared to intervene for rescue. But as the battle continued, they watched in amazement as Mei Gongzi actually suppressed a Great Demon King of the Undying Fire Phoenix clan—truly suppressed them, even forcing out the Rebirth from Fire. How was this possible?
