Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1345 - 87: Chaos Fire Refinement
In those few breaths, the transformation had become such that if it continued, the Summoned’s Soul Sea might ignite, and the eyes would be eternally destroyed.
In this situation where the blazing energy destroyed the eyes, Zhou Yan didn’t feel any nirvana technique could revive them, for Zhou Yan had clearly felt that destruction was true annihilation, a violent obliteration!
Zhou Yan’s heart was cold and stern, in such a situation, he would not sit and await death!
Contemplating deeply, Zhou Yan began to exert the power of the Purple Flame.
However, this time, Zhou Yan did not manifest the flames but instead pushed the flames to their pinnacle, transforming them into techniques of extreme cold.
Initially, Zhou Yan had learned techniques of extreme cold, converting the Extreme Yang Sword Body into the Extreme Cold Sword Body, a technique born from the soul dual cultivation with the Holy Daughter, Jiang Yuning.
Since then, Zhou Yan had never utilized this ability, and he had never imagined he would one day have need of the Extreme Cold Sword Body technique.
Yet now, in such a region, Zhou Yan suddenly realized this ability could potentially have an incredible effect.
According to the method in his memory, Zhou Yan began to condense the Purple Flame.
The Purple Flame reached a pinnacle, soon culminating in a terrifying, heaven-defying technique that formed ripples of shiver-inducing coldness.
At this moment, Zhou Yan continually gathered the blazing aura within his body, integrating his energy into this technique.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan unleashed rotating Purple Flame energy, creating a state akin to chaos.
In the chaotic state, the force of the flame intertwined with the Purple Flame, forming a Yang Attribute energy, while the Purple Flame transformed into Cold Ice Power, an Yin Attribute energy, thus forming a balance between Yin and Yang, resulting in a rotating Yin Yang vortex.
In this way, within Zhou Yan’s technique, once the Yin Yang vortex formed a unique balance, the pain in Zhou Yan’s eyes, and the searing pain in his forehead gradually diminished.
All the blazing energy was entirely absorbed by the vortex.
Threads of unique chaos energy, once refined by the vortex, flowed back into Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea as Chaos Purple Flame energy.
The realm where Zhou Yan couldn’t transform trembled violently due to this thread of chaotic energy.
The realm did not break through further, yet Zhou Yan sensed a tremendous advancement, this progress made his heart suddenly enlightened, as if suddenly touching upon a terrifying path, a fundamental principle of an invisible, chaotic nature of the Immortality Principle.
Chaos transforms Yin Yang.
Within Zhou Yan’s deep musings, he seemed to link this thought to Dao Sheng Yi and various Yin Yang secret techniques.
The path presented by the Yin Yang secret technique is one of dual cultivation, the most explicit and simply presented instinctive Tao of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
This Tao is the true Yin Yang, truly pure Yin Yang.
And at this moment, flames and Cold Ice are actually a transformation of Yin Yang, creating a temporary chaotic nature.
However, this temporary chaos can interpret this Tao, can refine this unique blazing energy for one’s use.
Originally, this perilous region would certainly obliterate cultivators, but if it were to harvest the Summoned, to seize the corresponding spirit, essence, and soul, then there must be an ultimate absorbing technique.
And the chaos Zhou Yan created is the starting point of all rules, even if all rules and eternal life originate from chaos.
The chaos created by Zhou Yan is not true chaos, but merely a balance of Yin and Yang. Originally, balancing Yin and Yang was an extremely difficult matter, but Zhou Yan’s Purple Flame could transform into Cold Ice; the Purple Flame and Cold Ice essentially share the same origin, both being Purple Flame in nature.
Thus, this flame can form Yin Yang, it can balance.
Once balanced and forming chaos, the chaos can naturally refine unknown Yin and Yang.
This is a transformation after metamorphosis, for through this transformation, Zhou Yan instead solved that unknown flame.
And this flame, Zhou Yan believed, originated from that unknown perilous region, from the Nine Layers of Heavenly Fire land.
This flame was converted from the Nine Layers of Heavenly Fire land, greatly similar in nature to the so-called Blood River!
Zhou Yan felt much relieved, immediately manifesting this chaotic power, deriving it into his blood and Qi, then dispersing it around himself.
Zhou Yan did not deliberately shield the bodies of Qian Xi, Long Xianyin, and others, for once this devouring began, the surrounding flame energy would be directly drawn over.
Indeed, that was precisely the case.
In such a situation, Zhou Yan’s Chaos Vortex began to absorb the Flame Power from Long Xianyin, Qian Xi, Xiong Ba, and others, gradually dissipating the unbearable pain.
Originally, everyone was enduring this pain while constantly being wary of the unknown dangers around them. Yet suddenly, as this fiery burning pain began to fade, an indescribable refreshing sensation arose, making Qian Xi and the others notice Zhou Yan’s change.
At this moment, even Long Xianyin had a newfound respect for Zhou Yan. She said in surprise, "My husband, you can even devour these Flames. You’re truly amazing!"
Long Xianyin’s words were sincere, without a hint of deliberation, making this praise even more delightful to the heart.
"Yes, Sister Xian Yin is right. Such Flames, filled with the aura of Immortal Flames, are akin to poison for us Summoned who lack complete mastery of the rules. But Zhou Yan can suppress them using the Yin Yang Chaos Technique. Such talent, such wisdom, is truly astounding!"
Qian Xi precisely saw through Zhou Yan’s method, which is why she spoke out.
This was a solution, clearly spoken, but how many people in the world could achieve it?
Extreme Yang gives birth to Yin. This is the ultimate principle of extreme reversal. Few can achieve it, and those who can harmonize Yin and Yang are almost non-existent.
To do this in such a perilous environment without error demands terrifying mastery over the Soul, needless to say.
"Master is indeed Master!"
Liu Haoxin exclaimed in admiration.
Xiong Ba also looked at Zhou Yan’s method with a hint of envy.
Such a heaven-defying method naturally brings great benefits. It clearly can refine the Immortal Flames, which is a great opportunity for refining the Bitter Sea.
Improving the Realm of the Bitter Sea demands an extremely high requirement for powerful Immortal Flames, so gathering the aura of Immortal Flames is a major opportunity.
This is also an exceedingly rare opportunity.
Once seized, it’s entirely possible for one’s Bitter Sea Realm to break through the powerful shackles and reach the Ninety-Five Layers of Supreme Realm in the Bitter Sea Realm.
Xiong Ba’s envy is, therefore, understandable. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Not just Xiong Ba, even Qian Xi and the others felt a twinge of jealousy in their hearts, but this ability was not something to envy; they could only find their own way.
But how could Zhou Yan not understand the thoughts of those around him? The aura of these Flames was so furious and powerful that he could definitely not absorb it all on his own.
And the more this vortex devoured the Flame Aura, the more it grew, eventually becoming uncontrollable, forming an Endless Chaos Yin Yang Vortex, devouring all the Flame Auras in this space.
If the Flame Aura in this space wasn’t strong, that would be fine. But once it became strong, the outcome would be unimaginable.
However, Zhou Yan had no retreat, as solving this could address the current biggest crisis; without a solution, they couldn’t move forward, let alone talk about the future.
Hearing Xiong Ba and the others, Zhou Yan said gravely, "You all start preparing. I will sense the surrounding dangers. You adjust your states, and then I will channel a portion of the Flame Power into your brow Soul Seas, allowing you to also advance."
"Master, no, please don’t. We will find a way to refine some of the Flame Energy. The key is you. You mustn’t sacrifice your chance for advancement, or else we’ll all feel sorrow and have a grudge in our hearts."
This time, Liu Haoxin spoke his mind directly, without any concealment.
In fact, not only him, but the others present, including Long Xianyin, shared the same thoughts as Liu Haoxin.
Even though Zhou Yan understood their meaning, doing so would still make them feel that their abilities were low, equating to a rather cruel method.
However, Zhou Yan understood this point and said, "You’ve misunderstood. It’s not that I want to fulfill you; think about it—how immense are these Flames, and how much can my Yin Yang Chaos Power Vortex devour? My previous Blood River Energy barely suppressed it, and with more Flames, I’m doomed. Moreover, isn’t this Chaos Devour impossible to stop something you noticed? If our refining speed can outpace the devouring speed, the vortex will stabilize. If not, it will snowball until it’s uncontrollable and explodes. Then my fate, how tragic it would be."
Zhou Yan seriously explained this point.
In fact, as Zhou Yan explained even a little bit, Long Xianyin and the others began to understand. By the time Zhou Yan finished explaining, everyone understood the difficulty within.
Without this Chaos, persisting would result in the same misery as the surrounding Summoned, with their Soul Seas burning, being burned alive by this searing energy.
What Zhou Yan did indeed resolved the immediate peril, but in the long run, it would become a major disaster.
Thus, the method to resolve this was through a unique technique, to disperse the gathering speed of these Flames at an extreme pace, forming a unique balance between the devouring and consumption of the Flames.
