Netherworld Poison Fire

Shen Wen suddenly opened his eyes.

"Deep underground, in the southeast direction, there's a massive lava cave. The true form of the Netherworld Poison Flame is hidden there!"

Shen Wen first recorded the location of this Poison Saint Space, then immediately piloted the flying boat towards it.

It took some effort to find the hidden entrance, which was a narrow cave covered in vines and poisonous moss.

A scorching aura, mixed with sulfur and potent poison, continuously emanated from it.

Everyone stepped into the cave and descended along the steep rock walls. The temperature grew hotter and hotter, and the surrounding rock walls took on a glazed texture from the high heat.

After descending an unknown depth, their vision suddenly cleared.

A colossal underground lava cave appeared before them.

In the center of the lava cave was a churning pool of pale purple magma, bubbling with poisonous foam.

And just above the magma pool, a pale purple flame, the size of a human head, quietly burned.

That flame lacked the usual violent heat of other Heavenly Flames; instead, it exuded a chilling, toxic quality that seemed capable of freezing the Soul.

However, deep within this extreme toxicity, a strange hint of vitality was faintly contained.

"That's the Netherworld Poison Flame!"

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes were solemn. She could feel her Green Lotus Core Flame sending clear signals of affinity.

As if disturbed by the presence of living beings, the pale purple flame suddenly trembled.

Immediately, the poisonous flame energy within the lava cave surged together, actually condensing into a giant butterfly composed entirely of Netherworld Poison Flame!

This Fire Spirit Butterfly had no intelligence, only wildly flapped its wings.

It charged towards everyone with monstrous poisonous flames! Wherever it passed, even the air was corroded, emitting hissing white smoke.

"I'll deal with it!"

Shen Wen stepped forward, his aura skyrocketing as he pushed the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol to its limit.

A supreme majesty, transcending all flames, spread out like a tide!

The charging Fire Spirit Butterfly suddenly froze, and the poisonous flames swirling around it dimmed slightly.

"Ying'er, Cai Lin, hold it back!" Shen Wen shouted.

"Understood!"

Cao Ying waved her jade hand, and the Green Lotus Core Flame transformed into several green fire pythons, coiling around it.

Cai Lin flicked her fingers repeatedly.

Streaks of condensed Seven-Colored Dou Qi, like sharp arrows, accurately shot towards the Fire Spirit Butterfly's power nodes, causing its body to constantly ripple, dissipate, and reassemble.

Seizing this opportunity, a fierce glint flashed in Shen Wen's eyes, and the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol completely erupted.

"Disperse!"

As if his words were Law, the giant Fire Spirit Butterfly let out a mournful wail.

Its massive body could no longer be maintained, and it exploded, transforming back into pure poisonous flame energy, returning to the Origin flame in the center.

The Fire Spirit dispersed.

Revealing the core Netherworld Poison Flame itself.

It burned quietly, its pale purple light illuminating the entire lava cave with extraordinary splendor.

Shen Wen dared not delay. He formed hand seals, quickly setting up a powerful Formation light barrier around them to isolate the terrifying toxicity emanating from the Netherworld Poison Flame.

Otherwise, apart from him and Cao Ying, the others would likely struggle to endure it for long.

With the Formation complete, Shen Wen turned to Xiao Yi Xian, his expression becoming serious.

"Xian'er, next is refining it. But the process will be extremely painful, and..."

"I need to directly touch your back with my palm, acting as a bridge to guide the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol to protect your heart Meridian, and simultaneously harmonize the fire poison. There can be no clothing barrier."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

"Husband, come on."

She turned her back, took a deep breath, and with trembling slender hands, untied her sash, exposing her fair and smooth back to the slightly scorching air.

Her skin, due to nervousness and shyness, took on a faint pink hue.

Shen Wen composed himself, cleared his mind of distractions, stepped forward, and firmly placed his warm palm on her soft back.

Both their bodies trembled.

"Concentrate and calm your Qi, guide the power of the Poison Body!"

Shen Wen shouted, simultaneously activating the Flame Ancestral Symbol, and a gentle yet domineering guiding force surged into Xiao Yi Xian's body.

The next moment.

He grabbed at the air with his other hand, directly drawing the pale purple Netherworld Poison Flame Origin, which transformed into a streak of light and fiercely struck Xiao Yi Xian's back!

"Ah—!"

Xiao Yi Xian instantly let out a piercing scream, her body trembling violently.

The chilling and scorching toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Flame collided with the Calamity Poison Body's accumulated poison power within her, like heavenly thunder igniting earthly fire, a fierce impact!

Both were extremely domineering, both wanting to devour the other, engaging in a frantic tug-of-war within her Meridians.

Tearing pain spread from all her limbs and bones.

Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful face was contorted, sweat poured down like rain, and gray-purple and pale purple lights flashed wildly beneath her skin, as if she could explode at any moment.

Shen Wen's expression was grave. The palm pressed against her back glowed brightly, and the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol transformed into the most resilient shield.

It firmly protected her heart Meridian and major organs.

At the same time, he forcefully intervened in the violent conflict, attempting to harmonize these two equally extreme forces.

"Hold on! Xian'er! Guide them, make them undergo Fusion! Use your Primordial Spirit Body and Calamity Poison Body!"

Shen Wen's voice echoed in the depths of her Soul.

Because, unlike Alchemists like Cao Ying who can control Heavenly Flames with fire-attribute Dou Qi, even if the Netherworld Poison Flame originated in a poison Meridian.

It was still essentially a flame.

Xiao Yi Xian had no fire-attribute Dou Qi, so her method of controlling the Netherworld Poison Flame.

Was similar to devouring the Netherworld Poison Flame with her own Calamity Poison Body, using the power of the Calamity Poison Body to control the Netherworld Poison Flame.

Therefore, it was fundamentally difficult to assist her with Medicinal Pills, unlike how Cao Ying refined Heavenly Flames.

Xiao Yi Xian bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled.

Relying on her tenacious willpower and Shen Wen's guidance, she desperately controlled the rampaging poison power, trying to accept and fuse with the invading Netherworld Poison Flame.

This was an extremely perilous process; even a slight mistake would result in being incinerated by poison fire and Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

At the crucial moment, Shen Wen's eyes flashed with determination, and he fully unleashed the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol!

"All flames, heed my command, Fuse!"

An invisible Law descended, forcefully restraining the Netherworld Poison Flame's ferocity and calming the agitation of the Calamity Poison Body.

With Shen Wen's help, Xiao Yi Xian seized the opportunity presented by the temporarily subdued Netherworld Poison Flame.

Xiao Yi Xian, inspired, fully activated the Great Poison Technique, guiding the now much 'docile' Netherworld Poison Flame to slowly flow towards her Dantian.

The pale purple flame flowed like a stream into the sea, finally taking root steadily deep within her Dantian.

The powers of the Calamity Poison Body and the Netherworld Poison Flame intertwined wildly, forming profound pale purple flame patterns that were branded onto her Dou Crystal.

The tumultuous aura gradually subsided, and Xiao Yi Xian collapsed into Shen Wen's arms, drenched in sweat as if she had just been pulled from water.

However, her aura was rapidly climbing at an astonishing speed!
