The faint sound of laughter echoed behind Hu Liena and the others as they ran. They turned around to see a black-robed youth standing behind them, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the dozen or so swift "water arrows" shooting towards them from not far away.
The black-robed youth wore a faint, lazy smile. His aura was calm, and they didn't see him unleash any spirit rings. However, just his presence there gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
The next moment, brilliant flames rose from Xiao Yan's body, instantly transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the sky, fearlessly reaching out to grasp the massive water arrows.
Under the dumbfounded expressions of Hu Liena and the others, the seemingly incredibly swift water arrows evaporated, leaving not even a trace of moisture.
"Oh, so this is Emperor Flame? This is the first time I've seen it."
Looking at the dazzling pillar of fire, Han Yu couldn't help but smack his lips. If it weren't for his extraordinary mental strength, just looking at it could cause his blood or spiritual power to ignite. It was indeed worthy of being the leader of all flames, formed by devouring countless others.
"I'll get a Heavenly Flame myself sometime. This thing is too strong. If I could have a Heavenly Flame, I wouldn't need a planetary thruster to forge items."
Han Yu pondered in his heart, wondering when he'd have time to visit Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame continent. If he could get a Heavenly Flame, that would be excellent.
On the other side, the Azure Water Dragon Python watched Xiao Yan on the ground in the distance, its eyes filled with apprehension. It had been evenly matched with the previous Soul Severance, but facing Xiao Yan, the Azure Water Dragon Python had only one thought in mind.
Run! Run quickly! Don't look back!
The Azure Water Dragon Python was just about to turn and flee when four dazzling pillars of fire, towering into the clouds, suddenly rose around it, trapping it. It tried to dive underwater, but the flames also isolated the water below. The four pillars formed a square, completely surrounding it, making escape impossible.
The Azure Water Dragon Python struggled, but no matter what it did, it was simply vaporized by the dazzling pillars of fire.
"Eri Na, it's your turn. Throw this at it, and you can end its life painlessly."
A tiny sword formed of fire was thrown into Eri Na's hand. Because the final blow was to be delivered by Eri Na, Xiao Yan left the opportunity to finish off the Azure Water Dragon Python to her.
This small sword was the trigger to detonate the four pillars of fire.
Looking down at the small sword in her hand, Eri Na could see the flowing, dazzling flames within it. It was clear that it came from the same source as the dazzling pillars of fire that trapped the Azure Water Dragon Python.
But this tiny sword, formed from such incredibly high-temperature flames, felt surprisingly cool to the touch. It didn't burn her at all; in fact, it felt warm, like a hand warmer.
Eri Na knew that Xiao Yan had controlled the temperature of the flames. Otherwise, based on what she had just witnessed, she wouldn't even have had a chance to cry for help. She would have been instantly reduced to nothing.
This is the path I chose. I'm bound to face this kind of situation if I want to get stronger. Han Yu has been taking such good care of me. If I can't even take this step, he'll definitely be disappointed, right?
Eri Na turned to look at Han Yu beside her. He didn't show any expressions of unease; he was always watching her with a smile. That smile seemed to say that no matter what she did, Han Yu would support her.
Seeing this smile, Eri Na finally put down her last hesitations. Following the method Han Yu had taught her, she channeled her soul power into her arm and fiercely threw the flame sword from her hand.
The flame sword, which was smaller than her slender hand, grew larger as it flew. In a distance of just a hundred meters, it transformed from a small blade, barely the size of a palm, into a giant sword dozens of meters long.
With this strike, the sword pierced through the Azure Water Dragon Python. The flames contained within the sword erupted instantly. The powerful flames turned the Azure Water Dragon Python's body into charcoal, which then fell into the water.
After the Azure Water Dragon Python died, a deep purple soul ring slowly emerged from where it had been.
Seeing the soul ring fly out, Han Yu beckoned to it, using the green lantern energy to support it. Finally, it transformed into a hoop-sized ring, floating in mid-air.
"Here, absorb it. Just follow the method I told you before," Han Yu said to Eri Na.
With the thing already in front of her, Eri Na didn't bother to be coy. She immediately sat cross-legged and used her soul power to absorb the soul ring into her body.
At the same time, Han Yu also released a large amount of green lantern energy to monitor the changes in Eri Na's soul power. After all, she couldn't possibly absorb a 5,000-year-old soul beast's soul ring on her own. Someone had to help her distribute the excessive amount of soul power.
While Eri Na was absorbing the soul ring, Han Yu, Xiao Yan, and Ace stood by the lake, staring at the Azure Water Dragon Python, which had been burned to a crisp. The three fell silent.
"This... I should have controlled the temperature of the flames just now. I shouldn't have let the flames burn it to a crisp."
"Such good ingredients. When I saw it, I even thought of keeping its body. It would definitely make delicious dishes."
"Ah ah ah ah, it's all Yan-ge's fault! Why didn't you control the temperature of the flames? You just wanted to show off!"
Beside the lake, Han Yu and the other two were clutching their heads and groaning in pain. It was then that they remembered the Azure Water Dragon Python's flesh also contained a massive amount of soul power. If they could turn it into a dish, it would definitely provide significant physical enhancement.
The powerful Emperor Flame had already burned away all the soul power in the flesh. The Azure Water Dragon Python's remains, still floating on the lake's surface, were nothing but useless, charred lumps. Not a single trace of soul power remained within them.
Xiao Yan didn't find anything wrong with Han Yu and the others' complaints. In fact, he was also regretting it. If he had given this ingredient to Eri Na or Han Yu to cook, it would have been another delicious dish. Instead, he had ruined it himself.
"What are they talking about..."
"It seems like they're regretting turning the Azure Water Dragon Python into charcoal? They seem to have said the Azure Water Dragon Python would be a good ingredient or something."
"Are these really the same people who easily wiped out the Azure Water Dragon Python just now..."
Han Yu and the others hadn't deliberately lowered their voices, so Hu Liena and the others heard everything clearly. Seeing these great beings regretting the destruction of the Azure Water Dragon Python's body because they couldn't eat the delicious meat, completely refreshed their worldview.
This was a soul beast that was over five thousand years old! Ordinary people would be overjoyed just to obtain its soul ring. Who would even care about the remaining lump of flesh?
Something even more shocking was happening. Not far away, Eri Na, who was absorbing a spirit ring, suddenly burst with golden light. A sacred figure condensed behind her.
Upon seeing the figure, Hu Liena, from the Spirit Hall group, was the most astonished.
"This is... a Six-Winged Angel?!"
