Chapter 662: Chapter 629: Righteousness Reaches the Clouds

The fire was fierce, and the scorching flames engulfed and incinerated the outermost layer of lotus petals.

However, the ice lotus seemed to contain endless life force; just as the outer layer of petals was burned away, new petals had already grown and bloomed.

Amid shimmering light, the shape of the ice lotus remained unchanged, regardless of how the three fire dragons spat flames to scorch it; it continued to shine brilliantly, as elegant as ever.

A trace of astonishment appeared on True Master Red Fire’s face.

"Such an immortal ice lotus!"

Opposite him, Shen Xuan’s ice technique divine power’s defense was extraordinarily high.

True Master Red Fire’s face darkened slightly, and he sprayed a jet of crimson anomalous fire onto the Fire Dragon Sword.

The Fire Dragon Sword let out a roar, flames soared into the sky, transforming into a crimson-gold fire dragon.

This was indeed the life-bound anomalous fire nurtured by True Master Red Fire over many years: [Crimson Flame True Fire].

At the same time, True Master Red Fire pointed rapidly toward the crimson-gold fire dragon the Fire Dragon Sword had transformed into, pouring his elixir core energy into it without reserve.

The sword trembled fiercely, splitting into six equally ferocious crimson-gold fire dragons.

The most solid one among them was, remarkably, the body of the Fire Dragon Sword.

Nine dragons emerged together, flames blazed across the sky.

The battlefield within a thousand-zhang radius turned into a crimson sea of fire.

The terrifying heat melted and burned the hard rocks on the ground.

Under the violent assault of the nine crimson-gold fire dragons, the spiritual light of the immortal ice lotus dimmed.

The outer lotus petals were rapidly burned and damaged by [Crimson Flame True Fire].

The growth speed of the new petals became sluggish, clearly unable to keep up.

The ice lotus shield gradually contracted.

Even so, the ice lotus continued to operate spiritual power, producing new petals to closely protect Shen Xuan’s body.

True Master Red Fire secretly pondered: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice’s ice technique is profound. Fortunately, he has been in Core Formation for thirty years. I have been in Core Formation for two hundred years; when it comes to competing in elixir core spiritual power, two hundred against thirty, the advantage is mine."

In his view, as long as he maintained such a level of attack, at most sixty breaths would be enough to completely burn away Shen Xuan’s ice lotus.

Unfortunately, True Master Red Fire did not remain pleased for long.

In front of Shen Xuan, two ice soul crystals about an inch long appeared.

"What is that?"

True Master Red Fire’s eyes focused.

He could feel the concentrated ice spiritual power contained within those two ice soul crystals.

Shen Xuan lightly pointed.

The ice soul crystals suddenly exploded.

The extremely pure profound ice spiritual power surged forth like a tide, turning into pervasive ice mist, merging into the ice lotus.

"Is that crystallized pure ice spiritual power?"

Perceiving the dense profound ice spiritual power spreading, True Master Red Fire was shocked.

"This..."

Looking far and wide.

The ice lotus, nourished by the profound ice spiritual power, seemed infused with new life, its brilliance surged, and growth accelerated.

The speed of new petals’ growth not only completely recovered but surpassed before, becoming extremely dense, endlessly enduring.

No matter how the nine crimson-gold fire dragons roared and spat flames.

The ice lotus body remained immovable.

In the endless clash between ice and fire, the lotus image became increasingly solid, blooming with vigor, faintly showing signs of pushing back the crimson-gold fire dragons.

True Master Red Fire’s smile froze completely, turning into incredulous astonishment.

After all, he was experienced, with thoughts racing through his mind, knowing that this gamble could not be lost.

At such a point, he had no choice but to go all out.

True Master Red Fire operated elixir core spiritual power, rapidly pointing at the nine crimson-gold fire dragons.

"Roar!"

The crimson-gold fire dragon targeted by True Master Red Fire brandished claws and teeth, its body swelled, eyes fierce.

Then, a crimson-gold fire dragon over ten zhang long fiercely leaped towards the ice lotus.

This time, it did not spout true flame; instead, it directly charged forward.

"Boom!"

The crimson-gold fire dragon suddenly exploded, flames splattering, with a deafening blast.

The ice lotus trembled.

The spot hit by the crimson-gold fire dragon was missing a corner, a gap three to four zhang wide.

True Master Red Fire’s breathing quickened slightly, his face pale.

"Brother Red Fire, why must you trouble yourself like this?"

Shen Xuan sighed.

Self-destructing a crimson-gold fire dragon would also cause backlash injuries to True Master Red Fire.

Each crimson-gold fire dragon carried a portion of True Master Red Fire’s divine thought.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, if you don’t interfere with us and Mingyu Demon, and leave now, I’ll stop right now, how about it?"

True Master Red Fire said solemnly.

In his view, as long as he made up his mind, regardless of the consumption of true essence.

Breaking through the ice lotus conjured by Shen Xuan was just a matter of time.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"There are still fifty breaths. Brother Red Fire, you’d better hurry up."

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, you should think clearly. If I can detonate one fire dragon, I can detonate the remaining seven!"
