51: Twin Resonance 2

Xiao Yan’s entire body was tensed, an unprecedented sense of crisis emanating from the depths of his Soul. The being before him was more than ten times stronger than Molu Tian!

“State your name, ant.” The black-armored man looked down at Xiao Yan, his voice containing the playful mockery of a cat toying with a mouse. “This Lord does not kill nameless nobodies.”

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his strange flames rapidly circulating within his body: “Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Yan.”

“Xiao Yan?” The black-armored man seemed to be interested. “Are you that brat who possesses multiple strange flames? Perfect, this Lord, Black Fiend Evil Lord, shall claim your flame seed today!”

He raised his hand and waved, three black orbs of light shot out simultaneously, transforming into three hundred-zhang giant pythons in the air, pouncing towards Xiao Yan. Wherever the giant pythons passed, space collapsed inch by inch, making evasion impossible!

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his hands rapidly forming seals: “Buddha’s Fury Reincarnation Lotus!”

The four-colored fire lotus flew out of his hands, colliding fiercely with the three giant pythons. In the earth-shattering explosion, Xiao Yan was sent flying by the aftermath, a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, the Black Fiend Evil Lord only took a slight half-step back, his eyes glowing with a fierce red light.

“A decent fire lotus, but unfortunately…” He sneered, suddenly appearing behind Xiao Yan. “Too slow!”

Xiao Yan had no time to turn around, only feeling a chill down his back as a black claw had already pierced through his protective spiritual power, stabbing into his back!

“Pfft—” Xiao Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his strange flames instinctively retaliating, but they were like a mud ox entering the sea, having no effect on the black-armored man.

“Your flame seed, this Lord will take it.” The Black Fiend Evil Lord’s palm probed within Xiao Yan’s body, heading straight for the Origin of the strange flame in his Dantian.

Just at this critical moment between life and death, the blue rune on Xiao Yan’s chest suddenly flared brightly! An unprecedented extreme cold power erupted from his heart, instantly spreading throughout his entire body. The Black Fiend Evil Lord’s palm was forcibly frozen, and a layer of blue ice crystals formed on the surface of his black armor.

“This is… Tai Ling Extreme Ice?!” The Black Fiend Evil Lord showed surprise for the first time. “How could you…”

Xiao Yan seized this fleeting opportunity, the ice and fire powers within his body fusing, delivering a fierce elbow strike to the opponent’s chest.

“Bang!”

The Black Fiend Evil Lord was pushed back several steps, and fine cracks appeared on his armor. He looked down at his wound, then suddenly let out a piercing laugh: “Hahaha… So that’s it! You are the other half of the plane of origin’s carrier! Today is truly a double blessing!”

Xiao Yan took the opportunity to widen the distance, but his heart was in turmoil—plane of origin carrier? Was this the truth between him and Xiao Bing?

“Brat, obediently surrender.” The Black Fiend Evil Lord spread his arms, and three black orbs of light merged above his head into a gigantic black hole. “To die under this Lord’s ‘Heaven Devouring Art’ is your honor!”

The black hole slowly rotated, generating an irresistible suction force. Xiao Yan resisted with all his might, yet he was still being pulled towards the black hole little by little. What was even more terrifying was that his spiritual power was being forcibly drained, and even his strange flames began to leak uncontrollably!

Just as Xiao Yan was about to be swallowed, a silver sword light streaked across the sky, precisely striking the center of the black hole!

“Clang—”

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the sky, the black hole vibrated violently, and then exploded with a roar. The Black Fiend Evil Lord groaned, retreating three steps.

“Who?!” He angrily looked towards the source of the sword light.

Yao Chen stepped through the Void Realm, a silver longsword in his hand emitting a terrifying cold glint: “To touch my disciple, have you asked this old man for permission?”

“Yao Chen?” The Black Fiend Evil Lord recognized the newcomer. “You’ve only just entered the Saint Grade, yet you dare to obstruct this Lord?”

Yao Chen did not answer, his sword point aimed directly at the opponent: “Xiao Yan, form the ‘Heavenly Flame Three Profound Transformations’!”

Xiao Yan understood, immediately activating the secret technique. Green, blue, and red flames surged from his body, transforming into three fire rings encircling him. At the same time, the silver light on Yao Chen’s sword flared, creating a wondrous resonance with Xiao Yan’s strange flames.

“Heavenly Flame Saint Sword Art!” Master and disciple roared simultaneously.

Yao Chen’s sword light merged with Xiao Yan’s strange flames, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant sword that slashed towards the Black Fiend Evil Lord. This strike contained the full power of a Saint-Rank Heavenly Supreme and the power of multiple strange flames, its might so strong that it even tore dark cracks in space!

The Black Fiend Evil Lord dared not take it head-on, his figure flickered, transforming into black mist and dispersing. The sword light slashed into the spatial rift, directly vaporizing hundreds of Extraterrestrial Evil Clan within it!

“Damn it!” The Black Fiend Evil Lord reformed his figure in the distance, a deep sword mark now on his armor. “You guys…”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed something, looking up at the northern sky: “This fluctuation… could it be?”

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan also felt it—a peculiar spiritual power fluctuation came from the northern sky, as if something was crossing the plane.

The Black Fiend Evil Lord made a decisive decision, sneering: “I’ll let you off for now today. When my clan’s army presses down, let’s see how long you can struggle!” With that, his figure flickered, retreating into the spatial rift and disappearing.

Yao Chen did not pursue, but instead looked solemnly to the north: “Xiao Yan, did you feel it? That power…”

Xiao Yan pressed his hand to his chest, where the blue rune was emitting waves of warmth: “It’s Xiao Bing… He’s coming back.”

At the same time, in the Tai Ling Ancestral Land.

Aunt Qing was covered in blood, the ice sword in her hand already broken in two. Around her, the powerhouses of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan were almost entirely dead or wounded, the Ice Crystal Palace had mostly collapsed, and four of the seven towering ice pillars were broken.

The ancestral land’s sky was completely torn apart, three ten-thousand-zhang tall black figures stood in the air, exuding a terrifying aura that made heaven and earth tremble. They were the three Evil Gods of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan!

“Qing Shuang, hand over the plane of origin carrier, and you can be spared death.” The central Evil God’s voice was like thunder, shaking the earth until it cracked.

Aunt Qing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then suddenly smiled: “Tai Ling clansmen would rather die than surrender!”

She fiercely plunged the broken sword into the ground, all remaining spiritual power within her erupting: “With my blood, I activate the Star Path!”

A brilliant starlight burst forth from her body, shooting straight into the sky. The Evil Gods were furious, three destructive black lights simultaneously descended, but were offset by a strange power upon touching the starlight.

“Foolish!” The Evil God on the left roared, “You forcibly opened the Star Path at the cost of your life, you won’t even have a chance at Reincarnation!”

Aunt Qing’s body began to turn into points of light, yet she smiled with relief: “Xiao Bing… the future of the ancient clan… I leave it to you…”

At the last moment, she threw a small ice soul mirror behind her: “ice soul mirror… protect it well…”

When the Evil Gods’ attack finally landed, Aunt Qing’s figure had completely dissipated. And in a hidden ice cave, Xiao Bing tearfully received the flying ice mirror, stepping onto the path paved with starlight without looking back.

“Aunt Qing… I will definitely not let your sacrifice be in vain.”

Before the Star Path closed, the Evil Gods only managed to see a blue light disappear at the end of the Void Realm, and Xiao Bing’s cold, resolute gaze.
