Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 61 Heavenly Fire Ancestor

The turbid air surged, corroding countless huge holes in the soul sea. Soul beasts were entangled by the turbid air, emitting mournful howls. Their massive bodies rotted and disintegrated layer by layer under the erosion of the turbid air, turning into pus.

Nine Nether's index finger struck out for the fourth time, and the death energy on the Death Pillar condensed into a line, like an invisible sword, piercing the body of the soul god and demon.

The pillar of death extinguishes all life, and the death energy enters the body. Souls and demons feel their primordial spirit beginning to decay uncontrollably, their faces turning ashen, and their aura beginning to decline.

The Soul God and Demon were terrified and pushed the Soul Refining Cauldron to its limit. The souls inside the cauldron surged out and recklessly rushed towards the four divine pillars.

The Soul-Swaying Bell rang wildly, its tones blending together to form a pillar of sound that pierced through heaven and earth.

But no matter how the souls and demons struggled, the four pillars of the universe remained unmoved. The light on the four pillars grew brighter and brighter, and the four-colored light curtains grew thicker and thicker, pressing down on the souls and demons more and more tightly.

On the other side of the Eternal World, endless flames swept across the heavens and earth, and the explosive flames started from the northwest corner of the Eternal World, turning into a sea of ​​fire that covered the sky.

Where the fire passed, mountains and rivers turned into lava, and rivers steamed up. Birds, beasts, insects and fish were burned to charcoal before they could even scream.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire, an old man in a red robe walked through the flames. His beard and hair were all red, and his face was as rosy as a baby's. Two golden-white flames burned in his eyes.

The old man held a bronze bell in his left hand. Flame patterns flowed endlessly on the bell's surface, and with each rotation, boundless flames burst forth from the bell's mouth.

The old man held a crimson flag in his right hand. The flag was a hundred feet wide when unfurled, and embroidered on it was a blazing sun, within which a three-legged golden crow could be faintly seen.

Ancestor Tianhuo, also known as the Crimson Fire God-Demon among the ancient Chaos Gods and Demons, was an ancient being who was formed from the first flame in the Chaos. He controlled the Great Dao of Fire and possessed two great treasures: the Divine Fire Bell and the Heavenly Fire Banner.

Standing in the center of the sea of ​​fire, the Heavenly Fire Ancestor looked down at this nascent eternal world, his eyes filled with greed.

"What a wonderful world!"

Ancestor Tianhuo could see that although the Eternal World was small in size, it had a solid foundation, a clear division of the Three Realms, and all Five Elements. More importantly, the creator of this world was still alive. A living creator meant that this world had an owner, and a world with an owner meant that it could be taken over. As long as the creator was killed and his origin was refined, this world would be his.

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor tossed the Divine Fire Bell into the air, causing it to expand and transform into a gigantic bell ten thousand feet tall. The bell hung upside down, its mouth pointing directly at the earth below. He intended to burn this land into lava, extract the essence from the lava, and integrate it into his Divine Fire Bell.

With a whoosh, five-colored light descended from the sky, red, yellow, white, and black, the five colors intertwined, illuminating the sky where the Heavenly Fire Ancestor was located with a dazzling array of colors.

Fifty rays of light surged in from all directions, each ray of light being a jade platform, the platform being crystal clear, with Dao patterns corresponding to the five elements engraved on its surface.

Ten jade platforms of the metal element, their sharp aura soaring into the sky, cleaved ten enormous gaps in the sea of ​​fire to the left of the Heavenly Fire Ancestor; ten jade platforms of the wood element, their verdant vitality filling the heavens and earth, forced the sea of ​​fire to the right of the Heavenly Fire Ancestor back a hundred miles; ten jade platforms of the water element, their mysterious water light flowing endlessly, extinguished the sea of ​​fire behind the Heavenly Fire Ancestor into steam; ten jade platforms of the fire element, their crimson flames clashing head-on with the Heavenly Fire Ancestor's flames, burning the void into a hollow where the two flames collided; ten jade platforms of the earth element, their heavy earth energy pressing down, causing the sea of ​​fire above the Heavenly Fire Ancestor's head to sink three-tenths of its height.

Fifty jade platforms intertwined to form a massive Five Elements Array, trapping the Heavenly Fire Ancestor in the center.

Kong Xuan emerged from the five-colored radiance, wearing a deep green robe and with a handsome face. His clothes remained motionless in the sea of ​​fire, and fifty jade platforms floated around him, their five-colored light flowing around him, making Kong Xuan appear as if he were the master of heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor looked at Kong Xuan, then at the fifty jade platforms around him, and sneered, "The Five Elements Great Dao? It's been a long time."

With a wave of his right hand, the Heavenly Fire Ancestor caused the Heavenly Fire Banner to flutter loudly. A three-legged golden crow atop the banner spread its wings and flew towards Kong Xuan.

The Golden Crow was formed entirely from pure solar fire, and its wingspan was tens of thousands of feet, with endless fire falling with each flap of its wings.

Kong Xuan stretched out his hand, and with a gentle turn of his five fingers, fifty jade platforms spun simultaneously. The Golden Jade Platform flew out, and ten of the jade platforms transformed into ten incomparably sharp sword lights, slashing at the wings of the Golden Crow.

With a tearing sound, ten huge slits were cut open on the Golden Crow's wings, and the True Fire of the Sun poured out from the slits.

The ten jade platforms flew out, transforming into ten towering green vines that firmly bound the golden crow's claws.

The Water Jade Platform flew out, and the ten jade platforms transformed into ten long rivers of mysterious water, pouring onto the Golden Crow. Water and fire collided, bursting forth with steam that filled the sky.

The Fire Jade Platform flew out, and the ten jade platforms transformed into ten blazing suns, colliding with the Golden Crow, the two streams of true solar fire devouring each other.

The Earth Element Jade Platform flew out, and the ten jade platforms transformed into ten ancient divine mountains, pressing down on the Golden Crow's back and forcing it to fall from the sky to the earth.

The golden crow cried out in agony as it was besieged by fifty jade platforms. Its wings were cut open, its claws were entangled, its flames were extinguished, its body was suppressed, and it was on the verge of death.

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor's expression changed slightly. He put the Golden Crow back into the Heavenly Fire Banner, waved his right hand, and the Divine Fire Bell trembled, its sound like thunder, with endless flames gushing out from its mouth. With his left hand, he shook the Heavenly Fire Banner, and a fiery dragon soared into the sky above its surface.

The two flames merged together, transforming into a fiery curtain that covered the sky, instantly burning through it.

As the curtain of fire descended, the light of the fifty jade platforms began to dim under its suppression. The fire-element jade platforms were the first to be affected, and ten of them were burned red-hot in the fire, with fine cracks appearing on their surfaces. The water-element jade platforms gushed out mysterious water in an attempt to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too intense, and the mysterious water was vaporized before it could even get close to the fire.

Kong Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and the fifty jade platforms simultaneously shone brightly. Five-colored light flowed between the jade platforms. Earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, and wood overcomes earth. The five elements counteract each other, and a terrifying destructive force exploded from the fifty jade platforms, transforming into a great five-element annihilation divine light interwoven with five colors.

The Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light was like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, neatly slicing open the curtain of fire. The flames on both sides of the cut extinguished themselves under the force of the mutual restraint of the five elements, without even a chance to struggle.

The divine light pierced through the curtain of fire and struck the Heavenly Fire Ancestor in the chest.

Ancestor Tianhuo groaned and flew backward, a large hole burned in his chest by the divine light. The Divine Fire Bell and the Heavenly Fire Flag in his hands wailed at the same time, and the light of the two magical treasures dimmed by three points.

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor steadied himself, looked at Kong Xuan with a gloomy expression, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

The outcomes of the three battlefields are already clear: the Blood Army's dragon chariot has collapsed, the Soul God and Demon are trapped by the Four Pillars of Chaos, the Heavenly Fire Ancestor is being forced to retreat under the siege of fifty jade platforms, and the three Chaos Gods and Demons at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal are being suppressed by Mo Yun, Jiu You, and Kong Xuan.
