Chapter 2914
Boom!
The residual essence of the Ice Spirit Beast was, at its core, a collection of silken blood, lacking a true physical form. Thus, when the Supreme Fire struck, the Ice Spirit Beast began to contort and twist uncontrollably!
The blaze caused the consciousness of the Ice Beast’s remnant soul to dim, yet the spirit fought valiantly for survival!
Desperate, the cold Qi within its being seeped out, trying to snuff out the flames, but the fire proved to be far too resilient!
Observing the Ice Beast’s remnant soul in its struggle, Kai swiftly drew his Dragon Slashing Sword and descended with a determined focus!
Yet, the flames continued to rage intensely within the ice spirit’s form!
“Kai, do you think the remnant soul of the Ice Spirit will perish in the flames?”
Liu Ruyan inquired, concern etched on her face!
“Not a chance!” Kai responded confidently, his faith in the Supreme Fire unwavering!
The crowd watched in silence, eager for the Ice Spirit Beast’s remnant to be consumed by the flames swiftly!
Meanwhile, the Ice Spirit continued to release waves of cold Qi, but no matter how forcefully it expelled the cold, it could not extinguish the Supreme Flame. Instead, it only fueled the fire further!
The frigid air surrounding the beast gradually shifted to warmth, and the Ice Spirit’s form began to wane, eventually dissolving into a single drop of bright red blood.
This drop of blood landed on a peculiar pattern in the center of five ice coffins, which then radiated a dazzling red light as it absorbed the blood. Soon after, the light faded, restoring an eerie calm!
However, the pattern now glowed even more intensely, causing Kai to furrow his brow!
“Could it be that this pattern is gradually being stained red by the blood of the Ice Spirit Giant Beast?”
Kai pondered, his curiosity piqued!
Just as he was about to examine the pattern more closely, two demonic cultivators suddenly descended from above the palace!
These two had not engaged in battle but had been secretly observing Kai’s every move!
“Fellow Daoists, is there a problem? I simply wish to examine the pattern. Why are you intervening?”
Kai inquired, addressing the two cultivators.
“Let me ask you this: as a human cultivator, how do you possess knowledge of the Demon Race’s Fire? Are you one of them?”
One of the cultivators narrowed his eyes at Kai, demanding an answer!
“Are you not aware of my true nature?”
Kai replied with a playful smile!
Seemingly understanding something from Kai’s expression, both cultivators chuckled, and then their demonic auras surged forth!
“Demon cultivators, so they really are demons…”
Ji Yun and Tile Tank exchanged surprised glances as they sensed the energy of the two.
“Did you set this place up?”
Kai asked, realizing the implications of their revealed identities!
This was not merely a treasure location of the Ancient Body Refining Clan; the palace and ice coffins were clearly crafted by someone!
“You overestimate us; this was established by our Demon Ancestor. We are just here to guide people in!”
One of them replied nonchalantly!
“Inferno Demon?” Kai inquired.
“Correct. You are aware of our Inferno Demon’s Supreme Flame and should have ties to our clan, which is why we decided to help you out,” the man affirmed with a nod!
“Help me out? What about the others?”
Kai asked, his expression darkening!
“The others? They will become tributes, of course, and will never leave this place…”
The man said with a chilling smile!
Upon hearing this, Ji Yun and the others were enraged, closing in on the two men!
“We’re tributes? What is going on here?”
“If you don’t clarify things, you won’t be leaving either…”
Ji Yun declared, her voice filled with fury!
“Hahahaha! We reveal our identities, so we are naturally not afraid of your threats,”
the man laughed heartily, displaying no fear whatsoever!
