Chapter 153 Fire of the Undead

A few days later, in Tianhun Empire, Benti Sect.

The location of the Body Sect is a mysterious canyon in the mountains, surrounded by cliffs that are as straight and steep as if they were cut by a knife or an axe. Above the cliffs, clouds and mists are lingering, as if they are covered with a mysterious veil. These cliffs are not only difficult to climb, but also a natural defense barrier. Any foreign enemy who wants to attack will face huge challenges.

A magnificent building complex came into view. This was the main gate of the Benti Sect. The architectural style was simple and grand. The tall palaces were scattered in the valley in an orderly manner, with flying eaves and arches, and magnificent momentum. The main hall was located in the center, tall and majestic, and the golden glazed tiles sparkled in the sunlight.

Behind the sect was a huge martial arts arena. On the martial arts arena, many disciples of the Body Sect were practicing hard. They were dressed in uniform, in unison, and their movements were vigorous and powerful. At a glance, there were so many disciples that it was a dark mass.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was solemn and dignified. Xiao Yan, Jing Hongchen, Du Bu Si, and others sat together, all of them with gloomy faces, their eyes revealing their worries about the situation on the continent.

"The situation on the continent is critical now. The Sun-Moon Empire is colluding with the Holy Spirit Church, and their power is growing day by day. Moon from Shrek Academy has left, and there are reports that Xuan Zi has been secretly colluding with the Holy Spirit Church. We have to make plans as soon as possible. I think it won't be long before the Sun-Moon Empire will launch an invasion of the entire continent. By then, the Holy Spirit Church will definitely take the opportunity to massacre the soul masters of the entire continent." Xiao Yan was the first to break the silence. His voice was steady and powerful, and he said seriously.

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly and said solemnly: "That's right, the soul guide technology of the Sun Moon Empire is developing rapidly, and coupled with the evil power of the Holy Spirit Church, their threat cannot be underestimated. We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

Du Bu Si frowned, his eyes flashing with anger: "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack. But our strength is limited. If we want to contend with the Sun Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Church and Shrek Academy at the same time, I'm afraid..."

“The first thing we need to do is to unite all the forces that can be united. There are many righteous people on the continent who are also angry about the actions of the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church. We can contact them and jointly form an alliance to fight against the evil forces.” Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Jing Hongchen nodded in agreement and said, "This is a good idea. We can use our respective connections and resources to find those who are willing to join us. At the same time, we must also strengthen our own strength and improve our combat effectiveness."

After discussing the general direction of action, everyone fell into a brief silence. At this time, Jing Hongchen broke the silence and said, "Since we have decided to form an alliance, we need a resounding name to demonstrate our determination and strength."

Du Bu Si nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "I have a suggestion. Brother Xiao Yan is very powerful, and this alliance was initiated thanks to him. Why don't we use the last character of his name to name it Yanmeng?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Yanmeng, this name is good. It is simple, easy to remember, and has a powerful aura."

Jing Hongchen also nodded in agreement: "Yanmeng, what a good name. It symbolizes that our alliance is like a flame, burning fiercely, full of power, and able to burn away all evil."

The other members of the Body Sect also nodded in approval of the name. From then on, the name of the Flame Alliance would be known across the continent, becoming a banner for the righteous to fight against the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church.

"I am familiar with the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire. Let me contact these sects next." Du Bu Si said calmly with a determined tone.

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Old Poison, given your fame on the continent, I think those sects will definitely give you some face."

"Yes." Du Bu Si nodded and said, "I will set off as soon as possible and try to contact more forces in the shortest possible time to strengthen our alliance."

Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."

Du Bu Si waved his hand, and in a flash, he disappeared in the hall.

……

In the quiet room, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion and fatigue in her eyes.

Everyone noticed that Tang Ya had woken up and hurriedly gathered around. Tang Ya moved slightly, and a look of pain appeared on her face. She looked at the concerned people around her and said weakly: "Brother Xiao Yan, you saved me?"

"Yeah." Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, took a step forward and gently helped Tang Ya up, wondering: "Sister Xiaoya, why are you in the Holy Spirit Church?"

Tang Ya's eyes were burning with hatred, and her voice trembled as she said, "In order to avenge my parents, I activated the devouring ability of the Blue Silver Grass in my body, and my strength skyrocketed. Then, I returned to Tiandou City and killed those who occupied the Tang Sect with the power of the Blue Silver Grass. But at that time, Master Xuan suddenly appeared, and I didn't have time to react, so he took me away."

After saying this, she clenched her fists tightly. Recalling the scene at that time, she could not suppress her grief and indignation, and her face turned slightly red.

Tang Ya's face showed pain and confusion. She still couldn't believe that all this was true. She sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Master Xuan would collude with the Holy Spirit Church. He took me to a strange place, and I was tortured there."

There was a complex light flashing in her eyes, and Tang Ya's voice was filled with resentment.

“Haotian Sect and Shrek Academy are so powerful, but they chose to stand by and watch when the Tang Sect needed help the most.” Tang Ya bit her lips, tears streaming down her face, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands.

"They allowed those people to occupy the Tang Sect and turned a blind eye to our plight. I hate them!" Her fists were clenched tightly and her body was shaking slightly.

"I don't want to rely on anyone anymore. I want to revive the Tang Sect myself. I want to use my own strength to make the Tang Sect rise again and make those who looked down on us and hurt us pay the price."

When she said this, Tang Ya's eyes turned red and her body trembled slightly.

Looking at Tang Ya in front of him, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and then said: "Sister Xiaoya, we have established an alliance called the Flame Alliance. The purpose of this alliance is to fight against these evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church and protect the peace of the continent."

Tang Ya was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Now, I am going to take you back to Shrek Academy, find Brother Bei and the others, and tell them about Xuan Zi's matter. Then, I will try to bring them all into the Yan Alliance to fight the enemy together. Are you willing to be a witness?" Xiao Yan said seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Ya nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. I also hope that Beibei and the others can join the Yan League. However, I have a condition, that is, your Yan League must help revitalize the Tang Sect in the future." Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Tang Ya didn't know now, but in the near future, the Tang Sect would completely cease to exist... including herself, everyone was ashamed of the ancestors of the Tang Sect.

……

In the secret room of the Body Sect, the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged quietly in the center, his eyes slightly closed, his expression solemn. A mysterious aura permeated around him, as if he was waiting for something important to happen.

Suddenly, a strange light flashed, and the figures of Alex and Yao Lao slowly appeared beside Xiao Yan.

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan with concern in his eyes, while Alex had a blank expression on his face, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said, "Teacher, this trip to Shrek Academy may be dangerous, I must be fully prepared."

After saying that, he set his eyes on Alex and said, "Elder Yi, I plan to devour and refine the Undead Fire you left behind, and then use it to evolve the Burning Technique. This way, I will be able to fight for a longer time."

Electrolux nodded slightly and said nothing.

Yao Lao said with some concern: "If you want to devour and refine the strange fire, you need to prepare at least three items... Naling, Blood Lotus Pill, and Ice Spirit Cold Spring."

Before Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yan had already taken out three items from his soul guide, including the Blood Lotus Pill he made using a ten-thousand-year-old ice soul bone and many medicinal herbs, as well as the Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Marrow and Soul-Bearing Spirit used to replace the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. The Soul-Bearing Spirit was what Yao Lao had not used up in his ring.

Yao Lao looked at the three items that Xiao Yan took out, his eyes full of satisfaction. He nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Xiao Yan, you have indeed grown a lot. Your teacher is very pleased."

"Teacher, I know that swallowing and refining the undead fire is crucial this time, so I have made preparations in advance." Xiao Yan said with a smile to Yao Lao.

After saying that, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, slowly sat down, closed his eyes, adjusted his state, and let his mind reach the state of emptiness. He stretched out his hands, and a strong suction emanated from his palms, slowly introducing the fire of the dead into his body. In an instant, a terrifying high temperature spread.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan was well prepared. He quickly took the Blood Lotus Pill, and a layer of strange energy blood scab immediately formed on the surface of his body, resisting the high temperature of the Undead Fire. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Marrow also played its role, releasing extreme cold air to compete with the high temperature of the Undead Fire, alleviating the burning sensation in Xiao Yan's body.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan activated the Burning Technique and began to devour and refine the undead fire with all his might.

The fire of the dead was raging wildly in his body, but Xiao Yan relied on his tenacious will and strong strength to tightly control it. The soul-gathering ability also played a role at this time, helping Xiao Yan store and absorb the energy of the fire of the dead, so that it could evolve more smoothly.

As time passed, Xiao Yan's body trembled continuously, but his eyes became more and more determined. With his efforts, the Undead Fire was gradually devoured and refined by him, and his aura became more and more powerful.

The Fire of the Dead, a mysterious and powerful fire, was born in the Undead Demiplane of Ilex, a special space full of mystery and weirdness.

In this demiplane, countless undead souls wander and struggle as time passes. Although their lives have disappeared, the power of their souls has not completely dissipated. As time goes by, the will-o'-the-wisp formed by the death of these undead souls slowly drifts like fireflies in the dark night.

However, they did not exist in isolation. Under the pull of a mysterious force, these will-o'-the-wisps began to gather little by little. At first, there was only a faint flickering light, but as more and more will-o'-the-wisps gathered, a powerful force gradually formed.

Finally, the Fire of the Undead was born. The Fire of the Undead was a deep grayish white color, and as the flames danced, it seemed as if countless vengeful spirits were struggling and roaring in it. It exuded a heart-pounding aura that made people shudder.

This kind of fire is extremely harmful to the soul. When it approaches the soul, the gray flame will instantly wrap around it, like a ferocious beast, madly devouring the power of the soul. Under the burning of the fire of the undead, the soul will feel endless pain, as if being gnawed by millions of ants.

The temperature of the Undead Fire is not as hot as other strange fires, but its coldness penetrates deep into the bone marrow. This coldness is not low temperature in the physical sense, but a kind of coldness that can corrode the soul. Under the cover of the Undead Fire, the soul will gradually lose vitality and be suppressed by its powerful force.

Its power lies not only in the damage to the soul body, but also in its ability to absorb the surrounding death aura and continuously strengthen itself. On the battlefield, every life that dies will provide power for the fire of the dead, making its power even more terrifying.

……

In the dark secret room, Xiao Yan's body was surrounded by a mysterious and powerful undead fire. The gray-white flames danced, as if he was making his final struggle and being refined.

Staring at Xiao Yan, Yao Lao's eyes flickered with anticipation, and then he turned to Alex beside him and said, "Old man, as long as Xiao Yan successfully devours and refines your Undead Fire, you and I may have hope of resurrection on this Douluo Continent."

Alex frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard and explained to Alex solemnly, "In the Douqi Continent where I live, if you want to revive a warrior of our strength, you need to prepare three things: the seventh-grade elixir Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, the essence of a seventh-grade magic beast, and the skeleton of a Douzong warrior. Finally, you need to use three kinds of strange fire to refine the body."

"Among them, I can find medicinal materials with the same properties to refine the seventh-grade elixir, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill. As for the seventh-grade magic beast essence, I may be able to find it in the Star Dou Great Forest. As for the skeleton of the Dou Zong strongman..."

At the end of his speech, Yao Lao actually slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky.

After hearing this, Alex fell into deep thought. His gaze once again turned to Xiao Yan who was working hard to refine the Fire of Undead, and a glimmer of hope for resurrection ignited in his heart.
